Yeah, right…’easier said … [Read more...] about How Does Stress Really Affect Us?

How many times do we hear we shouldn’t be stressed out? We should be in the namaste state of chill. Easier said than done. We live in a fast-paced world where everything we do seems to stress us out. Even the morning alarm puts us into a stressful state. What does all this stress do to our bodies? Where should I start? Let’s start with the hormone cortisol. In our primitive … [Read more...] about Three Ways Chronic Elevated Cortisol Disrupts Endocrine System Balance
