Here is a miraculous hand reflex point technique that will directly stimulate endogenous hormones from the anterior pituitary gland in the brain. This in effect will increase endorphins that will directly stimulate the immune system by activating white blood cells to help protect us against disease and infection.

Performing this technique:
Everyone has their own chemistry built within. Many will feel different physiological changes when doing this technique, but the end result will be the same. You can use either thumb, although you may experience one side to be more dominant. If you are not experiencing any of those changes that I discussed you should start the technique over and make sure your contact is correct and applying the right pressure.

Cortisol the stress hormone in 2 mins!

In this video, Dr Matt explains how cortisol affects the body during stress.

Cortisol:

The primary role of cortisol is to maintain blood glucose. It does that a few different ways:

1️⃣ Protein Catabolism

This can involve breaking down muscle proteins.

2️⃣ Gluconeogenesis

Aka making new glucose out of amino acids.

3️⃣ Lipolysis

The breakdown of fats. Specifically separating glycerol from the fatty acids.

4️⃣ Immunosuppression

Cortisol can downregulate the rate at which the body is building antibodies.

πŸ§˜πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ Take a deep breathe and make sure you’re getting enough sleep to keep cortisol where we want it.
