OMEGA-3 AND CORTISOL - JULY 25, 2023
The Connection of Stress and Muscle Aches
When we get stressed why do our necks tighten, shoulders knot, legs cramp and heads ache? Long story short: the hormone known as Cortisol. Read on to find out how it causes all this trouble and what we can do to counteract its effects.
When we are stressed our bodies go into “fight or flight mode.” This starts an increase in blood flow (your heart starts to beat faster) and causes us tense up - all this to help transport a key hormone needed to cope with stress, Cortisol.
But, when we are stressed for more than just a few minutes our bodies get flooded with too much Cortisol. So, our blood pressure stays high and our muscles can’t relax, and over time that’s what causes inflammation which we feel as tight necks, tense shoulders, and aching legs.

cortisol can quickly takeover…
Cortisol is SUPER important to instantly get our bodies ready to react, so when our body releases it, it floods our system super fast. And what that happens, it’s also increasing sugars in our bloodstream, a major factor in that steady blood pressure rise and ultimately causing muscles all over our bodies to stay inflammed, stiff, and tense.
…but omega-3s can save the day!
A natural super nutrient that most of us never get enough of, Omega-3 (like those found in our Ache Erasing soaks), is the key to balancing out the effects of Cortisol. Our bodies need Omega-3s to create chemicals called resolvins and protectins. These two go to work fast to put an end to or moderate inflammation all over our body, relieving the pain and soreness caused by stress-released Cortisol.
DID YOU KNOW THAT ALMOST
95% of adults in the US don't get enough Omega-3s?
but what about supplements?
Omega-3 supplements are probably the trickiest of vitamin pills. First, only 10% of any oral vitamin is absorbed by our bodies, so you’d need to take a lot of those pills throughout the day. Second, almost all Omega-3 supplements come from fish, so say goodbye to cruelty-free and vegan options. Third, all that fish-sources Omega-3 means icky fish burps!
Our best bet is to try and update our diets to have Omega-3 rich foods that don’t have the side effects and downsides of fish-based oils. But supplementing 1-3 times a week with plant-based Omeag-3s found in a Flewd Ache Erasing soak can greatly reduce inflammation and keep it from coming back.
