🧬 How Stress Disrupts Your Hormones
In today’s snippet, “How Cortisol Affects Other Hormones“, we dive into how this primary stress hormone can throw off nearly every other hormone in your body.
📉 Chronic stress doesn’t just raise cortisol. It can:
-
Spike insulin, leading to inflammation and thyroid slowdown
-
Disrupt sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
-
Suppress melatonin, making restful sleep harder to achieve
-
Interfere with fertility, ovulation, and libido
-
Cause immune dysfunction and trigger symptoms of hypothyroidism
💡 The takeaway? Hormones work in a delicate dance — when one is out of rhythm (like cortisol), the whole system can fall out of sync.
⬇️ Watch today’s lesson from the “Adrenal Balance” course to see how deeply stress can impact your hormones — and why supporting your adrenal function is key to restoring balance.
