Feeling Bloated, Heavy, or Just “Off”? It Might Not Be What You Ate…
Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right,” but your body just isn’t responding? You’re eating okay, staying active (when you can), but you still feel bloated, heavy, or gaining weight — especially around the midsection.
You’re not alone. And it may not be your willpower or your diet.
It could be stress.
💡 The Role of Cortisol
Cortisol is often called the “stress hormone.” It’s produced by your adrenal glands and helps your body respond to danger. In short bursts, cortisol is helpful — it increases alertness, mobilizes energy, and keeps you going in a crisis.
But when stress becomes chronic, your cortisol levels can stay high for too long.
And that’s when problems start.
What Chronic Stress Can Do to Your Body:
Increases abdominal fat storage (especially visceral fat)
Disrupts sleep, leading to fatigue and sugar cravings
Slows digestion, which can cause bloating or constipation
Affects your mood, making you feel anxious, flat, or reactive
Encourages fluid retention and inflammation
Leads to muscle tension and a sense of “heaviness”
It’s your body’s way of protecting you — but over time, it starts to wear you down.
