Chronic stress keeps your adrenal glands firing and cortisol high, causing abdominal weight gain, joint pain, insomnia, and fatigue. Activating your parasympathetic nervous system can turn off this stress response and let your body recover.
People's bodies are not functioning well because they're not utilizing the parasympathetic, the off switch. Turn the adrenal glands off, stop the cortisol from coming because your body is breaking down from it. Okay? And cortisol, remember, helps us to deal with stress, but not an overabundance of it. Just understand that if you turn it on and you get stuck there, you get stuck with all that stress, all that cortisol is being stored up in your belly. You starting to gain weight, your body breaking down, your knees hurt, you got headache. Your blood pressure high, you're insulin resistant now, you're tired all day, can't do nothing, you're irritable, you can't sleep at night, you got racing thoughts going on all day. This is everyday people. I promise you, I know what I'm talking about. I'm telling you, this is what the majority of people are dealing with. You have to turn the off switch.
