Everyone needs some type of stability in their life. Food, clothing, reproduction, and shelter are core survival principles that relate to all mammals. All mammals have a subconscious brain limbic system that takes these issues very seriously. In the machine language of the subconscious brain stability is all that matters -- and the feeling that things...

Adrenals are your glands of stress tolerance that enable you to cope with the pressures and demands in your life. If your life were predictable, monotonous, and boring, then you would not need any adrenal glands as there would be no changes your body would ever need to adapt to or manage. Problems with the adrenals happen when they are forced to work...

When you feel in balance, you know it! You have good energy, mood, and stress tolerance and just feel like yourself. Your female hormone system requires tremendous energy to function healthfully.

Research on female monkeys shows that those in a subservient role and under chronic stress ate significantly more food resulting in weight gain, compared to the female monkeys in the dominating role.

The greater the amount of stress the more likely a child is to be overweight. Managing stress and solving problems are key life skills at any age and it is never to young to learn. Children unable to manage stress well may “stress eat” and may not feel like exercising, factors that really work against healthy metabolism.

Changes in the sequence of genes take tens of thousands of years of adaptation. In theory this would mean that the stress felt by a mother during pregnancy would not be genetically passed on to the child. However, new science shows another mechanism for genetically passing along stress. And a second study indicates that one of the adverse health...

Children enduring high stress while being raised program inflammatory genes (NF-kappaB and IL-6) to be in a state of heightened anticipation. While this may be necessary to deal with the associated problems of such stress, a new study shows that it is a clear disadvantage by the time the person reaches their 50s and 60s, as they are at much greater risk...

Scientists are gaining a new understanding of the stress-hormone cortisol and its relationship to bile. The great majority of people with “acid indigestion” actually have “bile acid indigestion” and not “stomach acid indigestion.” Thus, a better understanding of this issue can help a person to correct symptoms of indigestion at the source and not rely on...

A new study shows that teenagers in high stress situations (family, peers, school) can elevate the inflammatory marker CRP (C reactive protein) for several years following the stress. Inflammation deactivates nerve function resulting in poor mood and more risk for depression. And the CRP can lead to cardiovascular distress and set the stage for plaque...
