Metabolism as a Stress Management Tool

Metabolism is not just about fuel management but also about the body's way of assessing and adapting to stress. It is like a thermostat that gauges environmental and internal signals to bring the body back to balance. Metabolism encompasses the nervous system, hormone system, immune system, and more, all integrated in the brain. Understanding metabolism involves recognizing the language of biofeedback, such as sleep quality, hunger, mood, energy levels, and cravings. These biofeedback signals reveal the state of the metabolism and can indicate whether or not it is under stress.
