What are Stress Hormones: Understanding the Stress Response


Listen Later

To conclude the discussion on Stress Awareness this show will focus on stress hormones and happy hormones. How chronic stress puts your health at risk.

While feeling slightly stressed on occasion is normal, having heightened levels for extended periods of time is detrimental to your health. Stress can disrupt your body’s natural hormone balance, causing issues such as obesity, insomnia, low energy or even a decreased sex drive. Chronic stress can wreak havoc on your mind and body. Your body is hard-wired to react to stress in ways meant to protect you against threats from predators and other aggressors. Such threats are rare today, but that doesn't mean that life is free of stress.

On the contrary, you likely face many demands each day, such as taking on a huge workload, paying the bills and taking care of your family. Your body treats these so-called minor hassles as threats. As a result, you may feel as if you're constantly under attack. But you can fight back. You don't have to let stress control your life.

Tune in to the show to find out more about how to tell if you’ve reached that tipping point and what you can do about it, how the brain responds to the stress, the hormones that drive this response systems and hear tips for overcoming this response by triggering the hormones that counter the stress response.
