No matter what you do, are you still feeling tired and run down? When this happens, a lot of us make time for a little catnap, cancel our weekend plans in favor of lounging around, or make an effort to get to bed earlier. While these efforts to rest are all well and good, they don’t guarantee we’ll replenish our energy reserves. Even when we prioritize and optimize sleep, movement, nutrition, and connection it doesn’t always boost our energy levels. Why? Because there may be a silent saboteur zapping your energy: stress. To prime your body for better stress regulation and resilience, sometimes a more targeted approach is needed—one that is formulated to work with your body’s natural rhythms. Let’s learn about the link between stress and low energy and how Troscriptions’ formulas, specifically Tro Calm™ and Tro Mune™, can provide the extra oomph your system needs to reboot and recharge at the cellular level.
The Link Between Stress and Low Energy
Stress, particularly chronic stress, disrupts your body’s energy levels at a cellular and hormonal level. You see, stress triggers the release of cortisol (appropriately nicknamed the “stress hormone”), which is part of your body’s “fight-or-flight” response. Its job: to help the body respond to a perceived threat by mobilizing energy resources, increasing your alertness, and preparing the body for action.
Ideally, this alarm system, so to speak, turns on when you encounter an actual threat and then shuts off when you’re out of harm’s way, switching you over into a state of “rest and digest.” But when you experience long-term, constant stress—from demanding jobs, financial hardships, strained personal relationships—or don’t have the right tools at the ready to help you downregulate your stress response, cortisol stays elevated. This is when acute stress becomes chronic, takes hold of your body, and starts to deplete your energy levels.
Burnout: Your Brain on Overload
When your cortisol levels remain elevated for a prolonged period of time, it can alter your brain, specifically the prefrontal cortex (the area responsible for focus and decision-making) as well as the amygdala (the fear center). In other words, it’s more likely you’ll experience anxiety, foggy thinking, and irritability. Over time, your brain adapts to living in this “fight-or-flight” state perpetually by dampening your stress response, which means you feel emotionally blunted, detached, and exhausted. That’s burnout. If you think of your body as a car, it’s like you’re running its engine without oil…eventually, something will seize.
Chronic Stress, Weak Immune System
Cortisol also suppresses immune responses. While this is helpful in the short term (you wouldn’t want your body distracted trying to fight a disease if you were trying to outrun a saber-toothed tiger, would you?), long-term immune suppression has adverse effects. Your white blood cell production drops, inflammatory cytokines rise, and your body becomes less effective at fighting viruses, bacteria, and even cancerous cells. Studies have long shown that chronic stress is associated with longer recovery times, increased susceptibility to colds, and worse outcomes from infections (Mariotti, 2015). Put bluntly: You’re not just “run down” from chronic stress—you become immunologically compromised.
Low Energy and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
When you experience stress signals, your body prioritizes survival over vitality. This means fewer resources go to muscle repair, hormone production, or digestion. On a cellular level, this means damage to your mitochondria (the little power plants in your cells), which leads to a real, biological drop in cellular energy. So even if you are eating, moving, and sleeping to recharge your energy reserves, the systems in place to convert that energy may be shot. No amount of napping will help because that chronic stress is constantly tapping your energy supply, and your cells are literally running on empty.
How to Get Your Energy Back
While we often think of stress as purely psychological, it has very real physical effects. It depletes your emotional reserves, dismantles your immune defenses, and disrupts your energy production at the cellular level. But here’s the truth: Stress will never disappear. All you can do is make stress management a part of your daily routine, which can include using targeted, cellular support that works with your body’s natural systems.
Both Tro Calm™ and Tro Mune™ by Troscriptions are formulated by physicians to help regulate your stress response and prime your immune system to remain resilient. Made with a blend of CBG, CBD, N-nicotinoyl-GABA, and Piper methysticum (commonly known as kava), Tro Calm™ can relieve stress, decrease anxiousness, quiet your noisy mind, and promote calm productivity and focus. While Tro Calm™ can make it easier to navigate life’s stresses with more ease, Tro Mune™ is formulated to encourage immune resilience. Thanks to the power of cordycepin, it serves as a shield to protect and heal, decreasing inflammation, fighting off foreign invaders, enhancing detoxification, and acting as a neuroprotector—all while increasing deep, restorative sleep.
