The Secret Signs That Your Body Might Be More Stressed Than You Think!

Stress is often associated with the emotional aspect of the brain. We feel the emotional reponse of being ‘stressed out’ running through our system. But stress is not purely isolated to our emotions. It can have visible physical effects on the body, that are the early warning signs that our cortisol levels is not as well managed as we might think.

When we think about stress in the body, we usully think about tense, heightened emotions. But when stress starts getting in the way of our normal daily functions, it can start presenting as some symptoms that are… well, just plain weird! On this week’s episode of the Luminous Body podcast, we’re investigating some of the ways that stress is manifesting in your body, in ways you wouldn’t usually expect! We’ll take a look at a few different systems in the body (the hormonal, digestive, muscle and bone, and skin and hair) that often present in physical symptoms when affected by stress. Whilst we don’t always associate these systems as having a strong link with stress, the reality is that our constant exposure to stressful environments can begin to interfere with how they function. And it’s not always an obvious sign! From Achille’s tendon injuries, to missed menstrual cycles, to thinning hair, if we don’t know what to look out for, these signs and symptoms can easily be dismissed or go unnoticed. But this is where being in tune with your body takes a key role in your own health autonomy - nothing in the body happens without a reason for it. We want you to be aware, not alarmed, and prepared to act in your own best health interest. So we’re going to make stress simple again, by breaking down just how cortisol works in the body, and why! By taking a step back, and being open to looking at the body and its wide-ranging influential factors, we’re not restricted to just treating symptoms - we can heal it at the root cause.
