Is your body constantly in “fight or flight” mode?
When faced with stress, our bodies release hormones that increase heart rate, raise blood pressure, and prioritize blood flow to our limbs. Normally, once the stressor is gone, our bodies return to a relaxed state. However, chronic stress can leave us stuck in this heightened state, causing prolonged production of stress hormones that may negatively impact our health.
Signs You May Be Stuck in Chronic Stress Mode:
- Sleep disturbances
- Anxiety
- Blood sugar imbalances
- Sexual dysfunction
- Brain fog
- Memory issues
- Fatigue
- Difficulty recovering from exercise or stress
- Frequent illnesses
- Chronic pain
What Causes Chronic Stress?
Chronic stress can arise from various sources, including:
- Metabolic issues: Chronic infections or hormone imbalances.
- Lifestyle factors: Toxic environments, insufficient sleep, or overwhelming responsibilities.
