Your Waistline Is Telling You That You Are Under Chronic Stress… Here Is What To Do About It

Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

An expanding waistline is actually a very common response to stress, and it signals that you are producing too much cortisol as a response to prolonged stress. I think of fat accumulation in the central abdominal area not as a marker of being overweight as much as it’s a marker of stress and high cortisol levels. So instead of monitoring your eating, maybe what you should be monitoring is your cortisol and stress levels. Because stress weight gain is different from other forms of weight gain — it typically centers in the abdominal area and is the […]
