This is an important one so listen up. In case nobody told you, your constant state of stress is negatively impacting your hormones.
Honestly I feel so much stress comes from the "hustle" culture we have sadly created. Let's bring back relaxing days and a calm nervous system.
Stress impacts hormones in many ways. For example, elevating cortisol (known as the “stress” hormone). Your brain responds to the stress by activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, releasing cortisol.
⌛️ Short term result? The cortisol does a wonderful job at helping your body to cope. Increasing energy and alertness.
🪫 Long term result… depletion and burn out, suppression of key hormones like oestrogen and progesterone which can lead to:
❌ Irregular cycles
❌ Increase in PMS symptoms
❌ Fertility concerns
