Chronic stress is one of the biggest drains on both your energy and your body’s ability to age gracefully.
Managing stress is an essential anti-aging strategy that supports vitality and resilience.
How stress affects energy:
✅ Elevates cortisol, which exhausts the body’s energy reserves over time
✅ Promotes blood sugar swings → leads to fatigue and crashes
✅ Increases oxidative stress, damaging tissues and reducing energy
✅ Disrupts sleep, preventing recovery and repair
✅ Contributes to hormone imbalances that worsen fatigue
How this accelerates aging:
How to combat stress and support energy as we age:
✅ Practice breathwork and mindfulness to calm the nervous system
✅ Engage in regular movement — boosts mood and lowers cortisol
✅ Prioritize restorative sleep
✅ Support gut health — the gut-brain-adrenal axis modulates the stress response
✅ Personalize nutrition to support adrenal resilience and blood sugar stability
