Struggling with poor sleep, brain fog, digestive issues, or constant irritability? These everyday symptoms might be signs your body is dealing with chronic stress. In Is It Just Stress? What Your Body Might Be Trying to Tell You, we explore how stress often shows up in subtle, physical ways—and why it’s more than just a mental or emotional burden. Chronic stress can disrupt hormones, digestion, sleep, and immune function, keeping the body stuck in “survival mode.” This post offers practical, functional medicine-informed strategies to help calm the nervous system, balance cortisol, and build true stress resilience. You’ll learn how to support your body with simple habits like better sleep hygiene, gentle movement, blood sugar regulation, and nervous system regulation techniques. We also cover key supplements—like magnesium, adaptogens, and B vitamins—that can provide extra support. If you’ve been feeling off without a clear reason, your body might be asking for help—and this guide can show you where to start.
