Stress & Happy Hormones
Stress & Happy Hormones – Balance Your Mind & Body Naturally
Understanding Stress & Happy Hormones
The human body is regulated by a complex system of hormones that influence emotions, mood, energy, and overall well-being.
Stress Hormones (Fight-or-Flight Response)
These hormones are released in response to stress, anxiety, and fear. Chronic elevation of these hormones leads to burnout, fatigue, anxiety, and inflammation.
- Cortisol – Primary stress hormone; increases blood sugar, suppresses immunity.
- Adrenaline (Epinephrine) – Triggers the fight-or-flight response; increases heart rate.
- Norepinephrine – Increases alertness and focus during stress.
- Prolactin – Increases under emotional stress, affecting hormones & metabolism.
Happy Hormones (Calm & Joyful State)
These hormones enhance mood, motivation, and relaxation.
- Dopamine – "Feel-good" hormone; improves motivation & pleasure.
- Serotonin – "Happiness" hormone; regulates mood & sleep.
- Oxytocin – "Love hormone"; enhances bonding & reduces stress.
- Endorphins – "Painkillers"; released during exercise & laughter.
