Comprehending Stress and Hormones
Stress triggers the “fight-or-flight” response, a survival tool that trains the body to react to risk. During this reaction, the adrenal glands release cortisol and adrenaline, hormones that allow the body to react quickly.
While short-term focus can be useful in emergencies, chronic stress induces long-term hormonal disorders. Prolonged cortisol production, in certain, interferes with other hormones, leading to fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, and even sexual dysfunction.
