Understanding the stress-weight connection with cortisol 🌞⁠
⁠
Cortisol, known as our "stress hormone," is produced by the adrenal glands and plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, blood sugar, energy levels, and more. While cortisol is essential for our body's functions, chronic stress can elevate its levels to unhealthy heights, leading to inflammation, cravings, energy issues, sleep problems, and fat storage. High cortisol levels can contribute to weight gain through various mechanisms. Swipe to learn more above ☝️⁠

Sometimes we see losing weight as an objectively simple thing, (more movement, less food) - but it has many more factors than it may seem. You could be doing all the right things and still be stuck at a standstill. ⁠
⁠
This is because we are unique and bio-individual, and the root cause can vary from person to person. Factors like stress, medications, hormones, poor sleep, thyroid issues and so much more can hold us back from feeling our best. ⁠
