The Stress Response Pt.2
Welcome back to PART 2 of learning about the STRESS RESPONSE
If you are new, go back to the feed and read PART 1 or else you might be a bit lost.
So what happens when we're totally overwhelmed all of the time and we don't get a break from stress?
SYMPTOMS OF STRESS OVERLOAD
afternoon fatigue around 3PM
sugar and caffeine cravings
new allergies, food reactions, hives
anxiety and irritability
difficulty remembering and staying on task
gut problems
skin health issues like eczema
any of your womb woes
insomnia
low sex drive
waking up tired although you’ve slept
The thryoid is deeply impacted. That's the shaped gland in your neck and when the stress response is CHRONIC our thyroid is working overtime to correct the overload and we end up in this brutal cycle.
STRESS RESPONSE ⋙ STRESS OVERLOAD ⋙STRESS RESPONSE ⋙ AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
HELLO CHRONIC WOMB HEALTH ISSUES
HELLO INFLAMMATION
HELLO AUTOIMMUNE DIS-EASE
Our hormones are totally out of whack and this will suppress our natural reproductive health cycles resulting in lack of ovulation or inability to maintain a pregnancy.
Chronic states of stress create small fires all over the body
It's like tiny little fires start everywhere and in chronic states of stress, you can imagine how much fire there is in the body including the womb.
Inflammation will feel hot, with signs of heat, swelling, redness, and pain.
There is positive news! There is evidence that by removing the trigger, of the inflammatory response, we can stop the autoimmune process! So, as you address the areas in your life that cause stress, you cool down the inflammation, like putting the fires out with water, and you begin to regain control over your life. You start sleeping better, reaching less for sugar, seeing results of physical activity, and just overall mood changes.
