Researchers at the University of Gresswald- Germany looked to the problem of stress.  There have been many studies on mice, but we are different.  The people from this University found a way of measuring cortisol in the brains of people who had been diagnosed with mental health problems in relation to people that had a more balanced way of dealing with stress.  Most of the problems arise from the belief in your ability to conquer challenges.  And this can lead to anxiety and worry that can seem out of control, if you are unable to cope.
What the researchers found was that people can become more alert to new outside factors if they have been under chronic stress.  The researchers tested peoples ability to recall pictures and found that the people with higher cortisol, saw more false positives of pictures.  Their over stimulated amygdala was in hyper drive.  If there are constant shocks to the system, then our memory becomes hijacked.  So we have poorer memory recall. 
So constant stress can impair your mental health and ability to function in the world.  Higher cortisol can decrease your ability to cope.

LENS can create a calmer, less reactive mind.  It works!!
