The Overlooked Driver of Chronic Illness

Our ancestors faced short-term, physical stressors. Today, we live with constant inputs — screens, deadlines, financial strain, processed foods, sleep debt — that keep our bodies in “survival mode.” Chronic stress disrupts the HPA axis, driving gut problems, fatigue, hormone imbalance, and inflammation.

Signs of Chronic Stress Overload

  • Wired at night, exhausted in the morning

  • Anxiety, irritability, or mood swings

  • Digestive symptoms (bloating, reflux, IBS)

  • Hormone and thyroid imbalances

  • Fatigue, brain fog, and burnout
