Stress & Your Hormones: The Hidden Link

THE ECONOMIC TOLL

  • Chronic stress isn’t just personal—it’s systemic.
  • $300B global economic burden.
  • $190B/year in U.S. healthcare costs (HBR).

Stress is quietly burning through your bottom line-and your health.

 

BURNOUT IN THE WORKPLACE

76% of employees report burnout symptoms. Mental fatigue is the #1 concern (Gallup). 60% of doctor visits are stress-related (APA).

Stress shows up as heart disease, insomnia, Gl issues-and lost productivity.

 

WHY BUSINESSES SHOULD CARE

Corporate wellness is now a $61B industry.

Stress management is the #1 priority. Digital mental health tools grew 45% since 2020.

 

THE MISSING LINK: HORMONES

Chronic stress disrupts cortisol, estrogen, insulin & more.

For BIPOC communities, these imbalances hit harder due to compounded stressors.

At Muse Health, we advocate for care that sees the full picture.
