While biology, hormones, genetics and environmental factors are all important pieces of the puzzle, another question deserves our attention:What does decades of emotional suppression, chronic caregiving and relentless stress do to a woman's body? In this week's Mid Week Tease, Adelle explores the socio-cultural expectations placed on women, the physiological effects of chronic stress, and the thought-provoking work of physician Gabor Maté, who invites us to consider the connection between emotional health and physical wellbeing.This episode is not about blaming women for illness.
