Stress is more than just a feeling—it’s how your body responds to challenges. When something feels stressful, your body shifts into “fight or flight” mode to help you stay alert and focused.
A hormone called cortisol plays an important role in this response. It helps manage energy, blood sugar, inflammation, and your sleep-wake cycle. In the short term, this can be helpful.
When stress sticks around for longer periods, cortisol patterns can change over time and may start to affect things like sleep, mood, digestion, and energy levels, as well as other areas of overall health.
Stress can affect anyone, at any stage of life, and everyone experiences it differently depending on their lifestyle, environment, and overall health.
