Anxiety: The Invisible Trigger of Emotional and Physiological Disorders
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) manifests as physiological, emotional, and behavioral changes that affect sleep, mood, appetite, and cognition. Studies show that high cortisol levels and imbalances in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis intensify symptoms such as irritability, muscle tension, sweating, and poor concentration.
🔬 Furthermore, chronic activation of the amygdala directly influences the stress response, increasing the risk of binge eating .
Binge Eating: A Cycle That Needs to Be Broken
Binge eating is associated with episodes of uncontrolled food intake, even when not hungry. It often occurs during moments of anxiety or emotional stress, followed by feelings of guilt and regret.
This pattern can lead to:
❌ Increase in body mass index (BMI)
❌ Impaired social performance
❌ Hormonal changes that affect appetite and satiety
✅ Clinical solution: Act on emotional control and balance of the intestinal microbiota , with supplementation that favors the production of serotonin, feeling of satiety and reduction of inflammation.
Sleep: The Foundation of Hormonal and Behavioral Regulation
Sleep deprivation is directly associated with an increase in the hormones ghrelin (hunger) and a reduction in leptin (satiety), which increases the intake of high-calorie foods and promotes weight gain.
Additionally, insufficient sleep impairs emotional regulation, increases irritability, the risk of binge eating, and worsens anxiety symptoms.
🛌 An average of 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep per night is recommended to promote neurological regeneration and metabolic rebalancing.
