The Stress Hormone

home » Your Health » The Stress Hormone
You may have heard people talking about the stress hormone and the way it affects your health and life when the its levels in the bloodstream are higher and more prolonged.

Cortisol is an important hormone in the body, secreted by the adrenal glands. It has been termed the “stress hormone” because it is secreted in higher levels when the body has activated the fight or flight response which is the body’s natural response to danger and stressful situations.

Small doses of cortisol have positive effects. Cortisol could provide you with a quick burst of energy when in danger to ensure your survival while the fight or flight response is activated.

While the fight or flight response has an essential part in the survival mechanisms of the body, it is only meant to be activated when you are in danger. Also, the body’s relaxation response needs to be activated after the stressful event, so that the body’s functions can return to normal.

However, this is not the case in our fast-paced lives. Our stress response is activated so often that the body doesn’t have a chance to activate the relaxation response and return to normal. This normally results in developing a chronic stress state with high and prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream.

High levels of cortisol negatively affect the brain’s performance. Studies show that it also affects the health on many levels:

  • Increased abdominal fat which could lead to other health problems
  • Suppressed thyroid function
  • Decreased bone density
  • Higher blood pressure
  • Blood sugar imbalances
  • Lowered immunity


Also, as stress is one of the main reason for most health problems, it negatively affects your overall health and wellbeing.

We are offering different tools to reduce the stress and train your body to activate the relaxation response after every stressful event.


The easiest and fastest way to get rid of the accumulated stress and take control of your health is our Stress Relief stress management brainwave meditation. It is designed to train your brain into releasing more of the “relaxation” brainwaves, so that you can deal with stress in a more controlled way and after the event is over, your body can naturally activate the relaxation response and go back to its normal healthy state.

 
It is the easiest way because it is practically effortless. All you have to do is to listen to the Stress Relief brainwave meditation for 30 minutes, while the digitally embedded pulses guide your brain into the relaxation brainwave state.
