Not all types of stress are detrimental 👇🏼

Eustress is a positive form of stress. Eustress can be any form of a short-term challenge that gets us happy, excited and motivated, makes us act and perform more efficiently. For example, going on a trip to a place we haven’t been before, acquiring new skills, learning language, changing a job, starting business or a new project, getting married, etc.

Eustress stimulates new neuronal pathways in the brain, enhances memory and learning. If you want to thrive, you need to embrace stress from time to time. A key piece to experiencing some degree of stress is recovery. You need to feel when you have to stop and recharge 👌🏼

Distress, on the other hand, is a completely different type of stress that our body perceives as a threat and overload. It is usually bringing about the feelings of being overwhelmed and not able to cope, it feels unpleasant and extremely daunting. Distress can be both short-term and long-term. Usually, we don’t even recognize when we’ve crossed the line and entered the danger zone, i. e. distress. So, it’s time to pause and re-think, if our daily life contains enough positive stress or eustress and whether or not we are in a state of chronic stress.

If you are never hungry in the morning or frequently experience nausea, of you have sleep issues, stubborn weight, especially around midsection, as well as hormonal issues, it all can be signs of elevated cortisol levels.

For people with high cortisol, skipping breakfast or only drinking coffee in the morning will only exacerbate cortisol dysregulation and eventually will lead to more hormone disruption ☝️🏼

Sunshine is life ☀️

Sunshine is vital for our hormones, mitochondria (=energy production), mood, gut health, immune system and longevity.

KLOTHO-GT is a gene associated with longevity, enhanced lifespan and improved brain functioning. However, simply having this variant, doesn’t guarantee that it is expressing (i.
e. it is “switched on”).

One of the factors that can activate Klotho-GT is Vitamin D, coming from natural daily sunlight exposure. You cannot synthesize Vitamin D without adequate cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is required for Vitamin D production. Cholesterol is coming from animal fats.

Don’t fear sunlight.

Don’t fear cholesterol and animal fats.

Both are our most ancient friends☝️🏼As humans, for the vast majority of our presence on this planet we’ve been eating fatty meat and living, working, playing under the sun.

Muscle is an absolute necessity for longevity 💪🏼

Muscle is a requirement to remain strong and protected from physical and cognitive decline as we age. Loss of muscle is associated with cognitive decline in elderly people, loss of bone density, fragility and higher mortality.

As we age, levels of testosterone decline in both men and women, while cortisol levels go up. High cortisol breaks down muscle mass. Cardio isn’t the way to build muscle, especially chronic cardio, because it elevates cortisol levels.

The best way to build and preserve muscle mass, especially for women in perimenopause or menopause is resistance training + eating a high-quality, bioavailable protein (= animal protein) and high-quality saturated fats required to produce optimal levels of s*x hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone).

Remember, that cholesterol coming from saturated fats is a building block of hormones. If you are on a low-fat or low-calorie diet, you will suffer from hormone imbalances, especially when transitioning into menopause ☝️🏼

Cortisol is one of the most powerful hormones in the human body.

Cortisol levels have major impact on our bodies and brain. Optimal health cannot be achieved, if your cortisol is imbalanced. Abnormal cortisol levels affect numerous bodily processes, including production of energy, cell development, metabolic health, immune system, brain and cognitive function, mental health, fertility, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, inflammation and digestion. Both high and low levels of cortisol are detrimental to our health. Both excessive cortisol and drop in cortisol predispose us to a higher risk of mortality.

🎯 High cortisol levels result from chronic stress, chronic pain, chronic blood sugar dysregulation, Cushing’s syndrome, exposure to synthetic hormone therapy. Low cortisol levels are also caused by chronic stress and chronic blood sugar dysregulation.

🙌🏼 However, when cortisol levels are low or flat throughout the day, it means that you have entered an exhaustion stage of stress, aka burnout. You can have high cortisol levels for years, but when cortisol becomes low it is very hard to fix.
