Why chronic stress pushes
you into carb burn | |
Despite its notorious reputation as the stress hormone, healthy cortisol spikes actually help us manage stressful situations. Cortisol gives us the burst of energy needed before a big presentation or to ace an exam.
As cortisol rises, it tells your mitochondria, your cells’ powerhouses, to switch to carbs to power your body quickly. This short-term spike is normal. However, constantly elevated cortisol can tax your mitochondria and cause them to become overdependent on carbs for fuel, forgetting how to burn fat. |
