Stress, anxiety and mood
Stress, anxiety, and mood imbalances are closely linked to the nervous system and hormonal health.
Hormones influence how we respond to stress, regulate emotions, and maintain mental clarity. When hormonal balance shifts, it can affect mood, resilience, and overall wellbeing.
Chronic stress can also influence reproductive hormones, thyroid function, and metabolism.
Understanding stress, anxiety and mood
Learn the basics of stress, anxiety and mood
The body’s stress response is regulated by communication between the brain and adrenal glands.
When stress becomes chronic, it can influence cortisol levels and disrupt hormonal balance.
Reproductive hormones, thyroid function, and neurotransmitters are all interconnected with the stress response.
Factors such as sleep disruption, nutritional status, and life demands can further influence mood and resilience.
Each person’s stress response is unique.
