Making my “recovery Stanley” and wanted to talk about the connection of workouts, weight loss, and hormones. Specifically stress hormones.

We all either have been the person or have known somebody that works out all the time, yet cannot lose weight and/or gains weight (it’s not muscle weight).

1. If you stress about working out and/or don’t like what workout you are doing…Stress hormones go ☝️

2. If you are not supporting stress levels in your recovery, Cortisol levels go ☝️

3. If you have stubborn belly fat and/or gain in your belly area, it’s your Cortisol Levels ☝️

4. If you are not getting adequate sleep, guess what goes up? Yep, Cortisol ☝️

🤓 What happens when you're stressed? Your adrenal glands go into overdrive and your cortisol levels go up. High levels of cortisol cause the body to scavenge for protein to convert into glucose to provide energy for the brain to deal with the perceived stress (also severely depresses the immune system).

🤓When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such as feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining healthy weight, and difficulty maintaining optimal health of cardiovascular systems.

So if you do not understand how to recover from workouts, training, etc. you will find yourself in this loop of High Cortisol and not able to lose or maintain weightloss (endurance athletes here me on this!).
