Rather than continue with research using animals, as many had before them, they wanted to study the connection between stress and immunity under more natural circumstances.

It explains the brain's interpretation of stress, outlining how the sympathetic response prepares the body for "fight, flight, or freeze" actions. It also covers the effects of chronic stress on health, highlighting the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary response.

His research began with hormone injection experiments in rats, uncovering stressors as health-affecting stimuli. The alarm stage triggers immediate reactions, resistance involves adapting to stress, and prolonged stress can lead to exhaustion, burnout, and health decline.

An increased rate of breathing increases the amount of oxygen in the blood and glucose is released from the liver to provide the fuel for energy production. Sweating increases to keep the muscles cool and the pupils of the eye dilate so the animal has a wide field of view.

It details the role of various body systems in achieving homeostasis, emphasizing their interdependence. Stress is defined as a disruption to the body's normal state, with positive and negative effects. Stressors are individual triggers of stress responses, influenced by multiple factors.
