The Stress Response

What Stress Physiology Does To Us

Cortisol, the stress hormone goes up. When your body floods with this hormone, it can cause weight gain and inability to lose weight.

Seratonin and endorphin levels in your brain go down. This can cause you to feel chronically sad and depressed.

Your Immune system response goes down. This can cause you to get sick more often, for longer periods of time and with slower recovery.

Your adrenals get weak. This can cause you to feel chronic fatigue, low energy and lethargy rather than energetic and vibrant.

Inflammation goes up. This causes more aches and pains in different areas of your body and can produce arthritic type symptoms.

Blood pressure can go up.

Brain cells can degenerate and deteriorate, which can lead to an inability to think clearly and possibly induce memory loss.

DNA telomeres can deteriorate, causing permanent damage. This could decrease your life span!

Most of these cause us to reach for drugs, over the counter and prescription. When taking such drugs, side effects can occur, causing the need for more drugs to counteract the first drugs.

You need a long term, ongoing strategy for stress!
