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, <strong data-start=”420″ data-end=”452″>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 <strong data-start=”591″ data-end=”610″>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.
