Default Re: Gain a spouse and you'll likely gain some pounds, too

Stress (cortisole) can make it hard to lose weight.

Cortisol ~ corticosteroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland. It is a vital hormone that is often referred to as the "stress hormone" as it is involved in the response to stress. It increases blood pressure, blood sugar levels and has an immunosuppressive action.
