"No matter what diet you follow, how much you exercise and what supplements you take, if you’re not managing your stress you will still be at risk for modern degenerative conditions like heart disease, diabetes, hypothyroidism and autoimmunity.""Recent research shows that chronic stress can not only increase cortisol levels, but more importantly it disrupts the natural cortisol rhythm. And it’s this broken cortisol rhythm that wreaks so much havoc on your body."
Among other effects, it:
- raises your blood sugar
- weakens your immune system
- makes your gut leaky
- makes you hungry and crave sugar
- reduces your ability to burn fat
- causes hormonal imbalances
- reduces your DHEA, testosterone, growth hormone and TSH
levels
- increases your belly fat and makes your liver fatty
- causes depression, anxiety and mood imbalances
- contributes to cardiovascular disease
