Stress Isn’t Just in Your Head—It’s in Your Body Too
Hey, Mama—let’s talk about something real for a second. Stress. Not the “just take a deep breath” kind, but the heavy, all-consuming kind that leaves you feeling drained, anxious, and stuck in survival mode. You're juggling a million things at once—keeping your kids happy, showing up at work, being there for your partner—and somehow, trying to squeeze in time for yourself. It’s exhausting, right?
But here’s the thing: stress isn’t just in your head. It’s not just that overwhelming feeling you push down at the end of a long day. Stress can cause chaos on every part of your physical health.
Every time you experience stress, good stress/bad stress, small stress, big stress, expected stress or unexpected... whether it’s a missed deadline, a kid's tantrum, a car cutting you off on the road, or even just feeling stretched too thin - your body reacts. Your cortisol levels rise, inflammation creeps in, and your hormones become imbalanced. And while you’re trying to keep everything together on the outside, inside, your body is screaming for help.
The impact of stress goes way beyond feeling frazzled—it’s why you’re struggling to lose weight, why your cravings are through the roof, and why you feel completely drained by 3 p.m.
Your body’s physiological response to stress is keeping you stuck in this cycle of overwhelm. It’s holding you back from the life you want to live, from feeling vibrant and energized, and from truly thriving and feeling sexy in your own skin.
This is why your health journey feels like an uphill battle.
If you’re constantly stressed, no matter how well you eat or how hard you try, your body won’t respond the way you want it to. It’s like trying to drive with the emergency brake on. You’ve tried every diet, but those cravings keep coming back. You’ve put in the effort to move your body, but you’re still too tired to stay consistent. It’s because your body is stuck in survival mode, and stress is running the show.
But here’s the good news:
When you lower stress and take control of your health—everything changes.
It’s not about pushing harder. It’s about learning how to work with your body, not against it. When you understand the impact of stress, you can make small shifts that start healing you from the inside out. This is where real transformation happens.
Things you can do today to get into a daily habit of stopping that stress response from spiraling -
❣️ Pausing for 30 seconds to focus on your breath
❣️ Getting up from your desk for a 2-minute stretch break
❣️ Going for a walk around the block
❣️ Shaking out your arms, legs, and whole body
❣️ Snuggling or being intimate with a partner
❣️ Tapping around the eyes or under your collar bone

Foodie tip
Soy is arguably the most controversial food on the planet. It’s a common allergen, is often genetically engineered (GMO), and is one of the most highly processed foods.
On the other hand, soy is the largest food source of phytoestrogens (plant compounds that mimic estrogen).
Studies show that eating more soy phytoestrogens lowers the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal and perimenopausal women and also reduces the risk of breast cancer recurrence in postmenopausal women.
We have to consider individuality, but a best practice when it comes to eating soy is to choose organic (non-GMO) and minimally processed products, like tofu, tempeh, miso, and edamame.
