Navigating stress with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s 

The holiday season can be a real stress-test for our bodies, especially if you’re dealing with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s.  But fear not, let’s delve into how this stress impacts your health.

Ever wonder why stress affects you the way it does?  Understanding stress hormones is key to building resilience. Meet the dynamic duo:

1️⃣ Cortisol & Adrenaline (Epinephrine): Adrenaline rushes in as a quick response to immediate stress, while cortisol follows a daily rhythm regulated by the brain & the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

2️⃣ Adrenaline triggers the classic “fight or flight” response, while cortisol works more subtly, influencing metabolism, sleep, brain function, and mood over the long term.

3️⃣ While adrenaline can leave you jittery and anxious, cortisol plays the long game, impacting your overall well-being.

Exciting news! I’ll be sharing more about cortisol and how we can balance it for better health in upcoming posts.
