"Quit crying about it, or I'll give you something to cry about."

Many of us grew up hearing phrases like this, dismissing our emotions as if stress were just a fleeting feeling. But what if I told you stress is not just “in your head” but a full-body experience that impacts every system you rely on?

Stress is our body's natural response to challenges, releasing cortisol to help us react and adapt. But unlike squirrels or deer, humans don't just "shake it off" after the danger passes. Our brains can perceive stress from thoughts alone—whether reliving a past trauma, dreading an upcoming meeting, or imagining a worst-case scenario. And our bodies respond as if the threat is real.

Here’s how chronic stress shows up in the female body:

  • Hormones Out of Balance: Stress disrupts cortisol, leading to fatigue, poor sleep, and even weight gain.

  • Brain Fog: Stress shifts brain function, sidelining logical decision-making in favor of survival instincts.

  • Digestive Distress: Enzymes and motility change, impacting nutrient absorption and gut health.

  • Immune Dysfunction: Women are disproportionately diagnosed with autoimmune diseases—a likely connection to chronic stress.

  • Emotional Eating: Under stress, your brain craves sugars and salts for quick energy, driving unhealthy cravings.

Our culture often pressures women to manage everyone else’s stress while ignoring their own. Is it any wonder so many women experience burnout, chronic fatigue, or unexplainable health symptoms?

The Good News:

You can rewire your response to stress. It starts with recognizing the signals your body sends and intentionally calming your nervous system. Tools like adaptogenic herbs (ashwagandha, maca, rhodiola - try this blend!) mindfulness practices, and even short meditations can work wonders.

Take it from one of my clients. She struggled with stress for over a decade, even after improving her diet and supplements. But when she committed to daily meditation, she lost over 5 pounds in just a few weeks—not because she ate less or exercised more, but because her body finally relaxed.

Stress is not "just a feeling." It's a cascade of physical responses that, left unchecked, can derail your health. The key is to give your body permission to REST.
