Hormones Tell Your Body What You Do
THESE ARE ALL SIGNS THAT YOUR
HORMONES ARE IN OVERDRIVE!
Energy crash in the afternoon?

Have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep at night?
Feel like you are surviving, not thriving?
Feel irritable, overwhelmed, or exhausted?
Can't seem to lose weight or drop the belly fat?

Notice that many foods bother your digestion?
Many people have just given in to feeling like this and over time have accepted this as their new “normal”. They just haven’t been exposed to any information explaining why they feel like this and wouldn’t know how to turn things around! This is why the biggest thing we’ve realized through working with many people is that “Most people have no idea how good their body is designed to feel.”
Your stress hormones are designed to help you survive threatening situations. Your brain identifies a perceived threat, which causes your body to release cortisol and adrenaline to allow you to run away or fight off the threat. The problem is that our modern way of living has put too much strain on this system.
Lack of sleep, high stress work, excess blue light from electronics, shift work, too much caffeine, poor diet, physical strain, digestive inflammation, excess alcohol, intense workouts, chronic pain, relationship stress, financial strain, and many demands, are some of the main stressors. On top of this, Humans can even create a jolt to the stress system just by thinking a thought!
STRESS: A PHYSICAL AILMENT
Initially your body can keep up with the demand, but an accumulation of these stressors continue on, you start to see some common signs. You start to feel more tired. It gets harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning, and you certainly aren’t snapping out of bed. Energy crashes in the afternoon, between 2-5pm most often.
You may get a second wind at night and have trouble falling asleep or start waking up often in the night. Belly fat starts to add on. Your digestive tract feels irritated or disrupted. Your mood becomes more irritable, defeated, indifferent. Focus and productivity dwindle. Lack of mental clarity and presence asserts. You are getting by and surviving, but not thriving!
