Stress
why it affects periods, sleep and energy
Stress is not just emotional — it creates physical changes throughout the body. When you feel stressed, your brain signals the release of cortisol, the main stress hormone. Cortisol is helpful in short bursts, but when stress is constant, it starts to interfere with hormones, sleep, digestion and energy.

What this feels like in real life
• Always feeling “on edge” even when nothing is urgent
• Waking up tired despite sleeping
• Feeling like your body never fully relaxes
