Whenever we are under stress, our bodies release its primary stress hormone, known as cortisol. In the body, cortisol is a potent signal to do two things: increase appetite and store fat. This means that whenever we are under stress, the increased cortisol in our body tells our brain that we are hungry, while at the same time telling our fat cells to store as much fat as they can and hold on to it! This does not mean cortisol blockers should be only be taken by those who are stressed, they can be used by anyone looking to decrease fat storage and prevent muscle breakdown.
