In this episode of The Health Rebellion, I’m unpacking the hormone chaos that chronic stress leaves behind — and how it’s often ignored in conventional medicine.If you’ve ever been told “it’s just stress” when your body is clearly screaming for help, this one’s for you.We’ll dive into: • How the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis works • Why cortisol affects blood sugar, weight, and energy • The real impact of under-eating on stress and metabolism • How stress disrupts progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones • What labs you actually need (and what most providers miss)Whether you’re feeling burned out, anxious, moody, or just plain off — this episode gives you a map to understand why, and what to do next.
