In this episode, we dive into the effects of stress on our weight and overall health. While stress is often viewed as a mental and emotional experience, it has significant physical repercussions, particularly in how we manage or gain weight. We explore the role of cortisol, our body's main stress hormone, and how chronic stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels. This can disrupt sleep, increase appetite, and trigger cravings for high-sugar and high-fat comfort foods. The episode offers practical tips on managing stress, including keeping healthier food options at home to resist unhealthy temptations. Join us as we unpack the intricate relationship between stress and weight management.
