How Elevating Your Capacity To Handle Stress Boosts Both Physical And Mental Performance
One of the biggest misunderstandings about stress is that you just need to “avoid it” to stay healthy and balanced.
However, the REALITY is, stress is inevitable and multifaceted, — but how we handle stress is what truly matters. This is where the critical role of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis comes into play.
Many individuals, even those leading a “healthy” lifestyle, struggle with HPA axis overload due to chronic stress, which can lead to numerous health issues.
However, when you effectively support your HPA axis, that’s when the MAGIC happens.
Getting ALL of these 14 vital ingredients in the right proportion significantly enhances virtually every aspect of your body’s stress response mechanism and supports your HPA axis.
Stress is the body’s natural response to challenges or threats, triggering a “fight or flight” reaction. While short-term stress can be helpful for focus and survival, chronic stress has harmful effects. It raises cortisol levels which over time can disrupt sleep, weaken the immune system and contribute to anxiety, depression and weight gain. Stress can also affect digestion, increase blood pressure and elevate the risk of heart disease. Mentally, it reduces concentration and memory and physically it can lead to fatigue and muscle tension. Managing stress through exercise, sleep and relaxation techniques is essential for long-term health and well-being.
