As I was sitting outside my office in Clifton, Virginia, enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet. The gentle breeze, the sound of the fountain, and the wind chimes got me thinking a lot about stress and its profound impact on our hormones. I know this is a concern many of us share.
As I slowly enjoyed my lunch without distractions, I realized how long it’s been since I had this simple pleasure. This inspired me to share some insights on stress. While stress can be beneficial, triggering higher cognitive functions or a quick response to threats, chronic stress is a different story.
When you're constantly stressed, cortisol floods your bloodstream, disrupting and unbalancing your hormones. Your body, sensing a threat, deems it an inopportune time for reproduction, leading to hormonal dysregulation. This imbalance can affect your cycle, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and testosterone levels, causing symptoms like fatigue, sluggishness, poor concentration, hot flashes, and weight gain. Elevated cortisol increases blood sugar levels, which, if not used, turns into unwanted fat.
Stress management is crucial for hormonal balance. Fortunately, many techniques are free and accessible - breathing exercises, spending time in nature, meditation, yoga, and quality time with friends. Prioritizing stress management can help restore balance and improve your overall well-being.
