If you’re stressed, read this.
Did you know cortisol regulates blood pressure and regulates blood sugar, it suppresses inflammation, controls the sleep/wake cycle, and even provides your body an energy boost when you experience a stressful situation? This hormone benefits you… but only when your stress response keeps cortisol in check. Elevated cortisol levels can lead to overworked adrenals which can’t compensate for chronic stress (adrenal fatigue). Adrenal fatigue can reduce happiness, health, productivity, and longevity. What you can do: Practice stress management for a healthier body! Eat within 30 minutes of waking, make sure you eat nutrient dense foods, practice functional fitness, get adjusted, meditate, forest bath and sleep enough! Interested in taking a holistic approach?
