One of the key players in your body’s stress response is cortisol, often called the “stress hormone.” Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands and plays an essential role in helping regulate metabolism, blood sugar, blood pressure, inflammation, immune function, and your sleep-wake cycle.

Researchers now recognize that the digestive system and the brain are connected through what is known as the gut-brain axis. This two-way communication network helps regulate digestion, immune function, mood, metabolism, and even cognitive function.
