Psychoneuroimmunology researcher Jen Chan will be taking over our Instagram account to talk about stress, its impact on our physical and mental health, and different strategies we can employ to manage our stress.

Jen is a PhD student at the University of Toronto at Mississauga, studying stress and health in first responders and other high-risk occupations. Using physiological measurements like heart activity, stress hormones, and saliva, Jen studies how stress impacts our physical and mental health, and immunity.
