Stress management is super important to our health and fitness but is so often overlooked. Nikki breaks down how stress impacts hormones and why checking in with yourself regularly about stress is critical to your health and wellness!

In this podcast episode, Nikki shares:

• How stress impacts our hormones
• 4 Key hormone areas stress can impact:

1. Cortisol-if left unaddressed can impact adrenals which are responsible for stress response

2. Progesterone-can negatively impact motivation if it’s too low

3. Estrogen-too much estrogen can increase stress

4. Thyroid-drives metabolic rate and impacts body composition

• Why it’s important to turn inward and check in with yourself about stress

Memorable Quotes:

• “People don't realize burnout doesn't happen overnight. It's over a period of time from not paying attention to your stress levels, and from not paying attention to the impact and the toll that you could be having on your body mentally and physically.”
• “Unaddressed long term stress can really impact your thyroid, which can impact your metabolism, which impacts your body composition.”
• “Stress can be psychological or it can be physical.”
