This triggers an inflammatory cascade due to increased levels of cortisol and surges of insulin. Where else can the  inflammation be coming from? 1.stress - decreases our bodies ability to fight inflammation and in addition your body translates inflammation as a physical stressor 2.Food - even if we think we’re eating healthy we’re not always sure how things show up in our bodies 3.Too much exercise = too much information or not giving our bodies enough time to recover  4.Too  little exercise= we don’t clear inflammation bec we are not moving our bodies.   Our bodies produce cortisol from our adrenal glands to manage inflammation …..if our bodies are in a persistent  inflammatory state, we will produce too much cortisol. This will cause fatigue or adrenals. We will end up with a cortisol imbalance. This can affect multiple systems throughout the body. In summary, our liver, which is the major detoxification center in our body, needs to be working optimally to filter toxins out of the body and make sure that we're producing hormones and managing inflammation.   If our livers do not do a good job, filtering out the garbage, our Gut  will be in a persistent, inflammatory state, which will decrease critical neurotransmitters, cause hormonal imbalances , it will affect our emotional state, and we will not be in an optimal position to heal   Visit me at: My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber Ebook Books links Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby   Disclaimer: Susan Winograd, PT offers health and fitness information intended to assist you in improving your general health and well-being.
