Frequently Asked Questions
Según explican Lena y Miles en este episodio, el cortisol no es un veneno, sino una hormona esencial para la vida que actúa como el sistema de seguridad del cuerpo. Su función principal es movilizar la glucosa para dotar de energía a los músculos ante una amenaza, permitiendo que el ser humano sobreviva a situaciones de peligro mediante una respuesta biológica eficiente y rápida.
Basado en las explicaciones del neurólogo Alejandro Andersson, cuando el cuerpo detecta una amenaza física o psicológica, el cortisol prioriza la energía para la acción inmediata. Esto provoca que se frenen temporalmente procesos que no son urgentes en momentos de crisis, tales como la digestión o la reproducción, con el fin de enfocar todos los recursos del organismo en la supervivencia.
El problema actual, como señalan Lena y Miles, es que nuestro sistema de alarma biológico se activa ante estímulos cotidianos como correos laborales o el tráfico, tratándolos como amenazas mortales. Mientras que el cortisol es útil para huir de un león, mantener esta respuesta activada de forma prolongada sin una amenaza real es lo que genera un impacto negativo en nuestra salud mental y bienestar.
