The Impact of Stress on Cortisol and Progesterone
When stress levels rise, the body produces cortisol, the stress hormone that triggers the fight-or-flight response. While short-term stress can be beneficial, chronic stress leads to elevated cortisol levels, which break down muscle, disrupt blood sugar levels, and contribute to weight gain, poor sleep, and mood swings. High cortisol levels also deplete progesterone, the hormone responsible for keeping estrogen in balance, leading to PMS symptoms, anxiety, and difficulty losing weight.
