Did you know…
Chronic stress doesn’t just make you feel overwhelmed — it changes your body and mind on a deep level.
Here are 5 facts most people don’t realise:
1️⃣ Stress raises cortisol so often that your sleep cycle becomes disrupted, leading to lighter sleep, more waking, and harder mornings.
2️⃣ High stress increases inflammation in the body, which can worsen pain, joint stiffness, migraines, and slow recovery from training.
3️⃣ It can shrink the brain’s hippocampus — the area responsible for memory and focus, which is why stress makes you forgetful and foggy.
4️⃣ Chronic stress alters your nervous system, keeping you stuck in “fight or flight”, making it harder to relax, switch off, or feel calm even when you try.
5️⃣ It affects your immune system, lowering your defences and making you more prone to colds, flare-ups, and slow healing.
The good news?
You can step out of that cycle.
Cryotherapy and red light therapy help lower cortisol, calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation and support deeper rest.
