Look, I’m not saying I’ll swap my burger for kale just yet, but stress? That’s a whole different beast. You can eat all the organic, gluten-free, air-purified superfoods you want, but if your mind is a mess, your body will be too.
I used to think stress was just part of ‘the grind,’ but then my sleep went to hell, my digestion turned against me, and my energy levels flatlined. Turns out, cortisol is the real villain—messing with metabolism, immunity, and even making weight loss harder (yes, stress belly is a thing).
So maybe the real question isn’t stress vs. diet but how they’re connected. Because if stress can undo all the benefits of healthy eating, then managing it isn’t a luxury—it’s survival.
