What’s your stress level? While it’s a natural response, chronic stress can take a toll on our metabolic well-being.

Navigating stress is not about eliminating it entirely but building resilience and adopting strategies that support our body’s natural ability to recover. 💪🏼

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in our body’s response to stress.

🥗 Certain foods, rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients, provide the building blocks for a robust metabolism even under stress. So, understanding how stress affects your unique genetic makeup is a game-changer.

🌪️ Stress Impact on Metabolism​
The cortisol surge, which can linger and is triggered by stress, can impact blood sugar levels, weight, and how we use energy from food.

Optimal nutrition and staying mindful to minimize overeating episodes are key players in supporting metabolic wellness during stressful times. Choose nutrient-dense foods, stay hydrated, balance meals throughout the day, and consider how your unique genetic makeup influences your body’s response to stress.
