Stress and The Biological Response

How the Body Normally Processes Stress

Step 1

Stress hits

When your brain perceives a threat, it activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, releasing key stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline.
Step 2

Your body's response

Your body redirects energy to the brain and muscles, sharpens focus, and suppresses non-essential functions like digestion — the classic “fight-or-flight” response.
Step 3

Stress passes

Once the stressor passes, the parasympathetic nervous system restores calm: cortisol drops, heart rate slows, and your body returns to its natural state of balance, known as homeostasis.

When Stress Becomes Chronic

When the body never returns to calm, the HPA axis stays overactivated, leading tochronically high or unstable cortisol levels. Over time, this can cause:

  • Fatigue and burnout – the adrenal system becomes depleted.
  • Sleep disruption – cortisol and melatonin cycles lose sync.
  • Mood changes and brain fog – neurotransmitter imbalance.
  • Weakened immunity – inflammation and slower recovery.
  • Digestive issues – reduced nutrient absorption.
  • Accelerated aging – oxidative stress and cellular damage.

How to Rebalance

Your body can recover — it just needs the right tools. Adaptogensherbal extracts, and micronutrients work together to bring your stress response back into alignment.

When cortisol stabilizes, your nervous system functions as designed: sleep improves, focus sharpens, and calm returns.
That’s exactly what UNWIND is made for.
