If you haven't seen our latest 40-page review paper on melatonin, you'll want to take a look at it for the recent science and clinical translation (link to full paper is below). We address supplements, plant-based melatonin as outperforming synthetic melatonin, and even discuss the comparison between vitamin D deficiency and melatonin insufficiency as we get older.

When you are introduced to a stressful situation, your body releases a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is responsible for setting off all the physiological responses associated with stress.

Studies have shown that when cortisol is released into the bloodstream you become less sensitive to leptin, the hormone that tells your brain you are full. When this happens, you tend to eat more and crave more sugar.

Prolonged, unremitting stress may lead to insulin resistance. High insulin and insulin resistance create fatigue after meals, sugar cravings, blood sugar swings or hypoglycemia, high triglycerides, low HDL, high blood pressure, problems with blood clotting, and increased inflammation often accompanied by low s*x drive.

Use the methods listed above to better manage your stress and insulin levels. If you continue to have issues, consult with a Functional Medicine doctor in your area.
