How Stress Ages the Body

Chronic stress raises cortisol, a hormone that triggers inflammation and insulin resistance—two key accelerators of aging. Over time, this “silent damage” contributes to:

• Weight gain and poor sleep

• Brain fog and low energy

• Increased risk of heart disease and dementia

Signs You’re Carrying Too Much Stress

You might be aging faster than you think if you’re experiencing:

• Fatigue even after rest

• Mood swings or low motivation

• Hair thinning or premature graying

• Poor skin elasticity or acne flare-ups

How to Reverse the Damage

You can’t always avoid stress—but you can buffer its effects. Key tools include:

• Stress-focused lab testing (like cortisol rhythm tests)

• Peptides that support adrenal and immune balance

• Breathwork, meditation, or heart rate variability training

• Nutrition that stabilizes blood sugar and hormones
