On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your stress level?

Now that you have your number, you are probably wondering how this relates to the health of your hair, skin, and nails. Let me explain…

First, let’s talk about Cortisol. This is the main stress hormone that is released from your adrenal glands, which impacts your health, mood, motivation and anxiety. Cortisol levels are adjusted throughout the day and affect things like inflammation, blood pressure, energy and sleep cycle. If cortisol levels rise too high or drop too low, this can negatively impact your digestive system, immune system and hair growth processes.

Have you ever thought about how Vitamin C can affect your hair health and growth?
