Cortisol Resistance: The Hidden Stress Problem

Your cortisol level is not the enemy, the real villain is cortisol resistance. Think of it like

a friend calling you too much until you finally block their number. When you are chronically

stressed, your cells stop listening to cortisol's signal to calm down. This breaks your

immune system's brakes, leading to constant inflammation and body aches.

It gets worse because your body dumps sugar into your blood to run from a tiger that does

not exist. Since you are just sitting at a desk, that unused sugar triggers insulin

resistance and gets stored directly as belly fat. Your metabolism is not broken,

it is just protecting you from a danger that isn't there.
