ALWAYS dig deeper in to WHY 🤷🏼‍♀️ | Womens Wellbeing Association

I love a conversation about stress, and it’s a conversation I have A LOT.

For me stress is the biggest cause of hormone imbalance, poor sleep and inch loss resistance.

But it’s not the big, occasional stress that does the damage, it’s the low daily stresses that we often don’t even recognise as stress, such as:

🌪 Feeling out of control of a situation
🥺 Being overwhelmed by a circumstance, workload or uncontrollable or unknown outcome
🔥 Inflammation in the gut
💄 Environmental toxins
🍔 Diet and food choices
🤸🏻‍♀️ Over exercising
🎢 Blood sugar imbalance / raised insulin
🤒 Illness / injury
🤯 Brain being in state of high alert / worry / fear

So many women are constantly dealing with a combination of these stressors, day in and day out.

Whilst in isolation they are all relatively low-level factors, the continuous build up can, over time, put our body into a state of chronic stress and cause a range of symptoms, many which are similar to those associated with declining sex hormones, including; brain fog, memory loss, low libido, anxiety, insomnia and digestive problems or food sensitivities.

This is why I repeatedly say it’s never “just your age” or “just your hormones” and to ALWAYS dig deeper in to WHY are your experiencing the symptoms you are brushing off, especially:

💆🏻‍♀️ That daily headache
🥴 A stiff neck
⏰ Getting second wind at 10pm or waking up at 2am
🍫 Our mid-afternoon energy slump

Untreated low-level chronic stress can also lead to problems with infertility, heart disease, metabolic and thyroid function, problems regulating the heart rate and much more serious disease (dis-ease in the body).

Learning to identify, reduce or eliminate and actively manage your stress is, in my opinion, the most important thing you can do for your wellbeing.
