How Stress  Affects Your Weight and More!

Like most women in America, you are bombarded with stress daily. Stress from work, finances, a busy family life – the list goes on and on, but did you know that chronic stress can lead to hormonal balances and so much more.

Learn more about how stress is impacting your life. 

Not only does stress impact your mental well-being, but it can also wreak havoc on your body and  your hormones, making you feel  even worse. Keeping your  hormones in balance is essential to your overall health, both physically  as well as mentally.

One of the main culprits behind a hormone imbalance is STRESS.

When your body perceives a threat, such as stress, your brain sets off an alarm prompting your adrenal glands to produce a flood of hormones, like adrenaline  and cortisol.

Your body treats stress  as a threat and tries to protect you!

What’s worse, under chronic or constant stress, your body cannot keep up with the demand to  produce cortisol. As a result, your body will begin to steal the hormone progesterone to convert it to cortisol. When this happens, you end up with an imbalance between progesterone and estrogen, also known as  estrogen dominance.

Stress as a threat.

When the check engine light comes on in your car, it’s meant to warn you that something is wrong. Your body may not be a car, but your hormones work similarly to that check engine light. Your hormones send signals to your body, telling it what to do and what it needs. And you don’t just have one “light,” you have over 50! When your hormones are in balance, your body can function at optimal performance. On the flip side, when out of balance, it can disrupt simple functions like digestion to more complex systems like reproduction.
