TT: The HPA–Lung Axis: How Stress & Hormones Impact Your Respiratory Health

Our stress response doesn’t just affect your mind…

It can directly impact your lungs as well.

Whether it’s asthma, allergies, chronic congestion, or lingering post-viral symptoms, stress may be playing a bigger role than you think.

On today’s show, I want to explore the HPA Lung Axis: the powerful connection between your brain, adrenals, and lungs, and how stress hormones like cortisol can trigger inflammation, weaken your immune system, and make it harder to fight off infections.

So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3534 as we break down how this brain-adrenal-lung connection works, why it keeps so many people stuck in cycles of inflammation, and what you can do to rebalance your body and breathe easier.

Enjoy the show!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. The HPA–Lung Axis:
Stress triggers cortisol production, which interacts with receptors in the lungs. This can fuel inflammation, weaken immune defenses, and create a cycle that worsens allergies, asthma, and respiratory infections.

2. Conventional Medicine Masks Symptoms:
Inhalers, steroids, and other drugs may temporarily ease symptoms but don’t resolve the root imbalances like environmental toxins, gut issues, or hidden infections—that drive lung inflammation.

3. A Root-Cause & Whole-Body Approach:
True recovery involves reducing stress, improving sleep, supporting detox pathways, following an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, and using targeted natural support while working on deeper issues over time.
