Understanding Stress and Cognitive Performance
Stress can become addictive, manifesting as racing thoughts and anxiety, particularly during sleep. This response comes from a physiological imbalance where low blood sugar levels trigger the body to release adrenaline and cortisol, increasing mental and physical stress. The speaker shares personal experiences of struggling with focus and memory during moments of high stress, often linked to broader health issues like high cortisol levels. Proper dietary adjustments, like consuming raw honey before bed, can help stabilize blood sugar levels and combat these stress-related symptoms.
