LessStress

The Science Behind LessStress Effectiveness:

Ever been told by your doctor, or other healthcare professionals that your problem is stress? They tell you to try yoga or meditation, but trying to fit that into your schedule just makes it worse. 

So, how can you calm down, reduce life pressures, and make life work all at the same time.  

If you understand what stress really does in the body, you’ll see how you can support it to calm down this response. 

Stress triggers a response in the body called the HPA-axis. When we’re under pressure hormones and neurotransmitters get triggered and released creating a complex cascading effect in the body. The HPA-axis starts in the hypothalamus, the brain center, then triggers the pituitary gland to release hormones, which then triggers your adrenal glands that release more hormones…most notably cortisol.

If we just look at Cortisol we see just a few actions that occur with stress.

• Cortisol reduces blood flow making you feel tight in your muscles, leads to headaches, and worsens period symptoms. 
• An increase in Cortisol slows down your digestion causing symptoms such as constipation, stomach cramping or diarrhea.
• And cortisol raises blood sugar. This blood sugar release is helpful when we’re being chased by a lion, but in modern times we’re not running from anything physical, just sitting in our desks. This can lead to mood swings, energy crashes and more.

Does this sound familiar?
