High Levels of Cortisol Passed from Mother to Baby

Excess cortisol continues to stun the medical community with its ubiquitous power t cause physical and mental damage. Now a study by the University of Colorado Denver found that low-income groups experienced high level of the stress hormone during pregnancy. You can imagine why. But here’s the kicker – the serious bit: these children face a heightened risk of developing serious diseases later in life.

What diseases?

Several chronic ailments including cardiovascular disease and mental illness.

We’re not kidding.

Researchers studies 64 pregnant women in New Zealand with several stress markers, including unemployment, divorce, and abuse, among a list of 19 stressors.

“The babies of lower socioeconomic mothers had higher cortisol response to the stress of the vaccination," said study author Zaneta Thayer. “Such changes have elsewhere been associated with differences in cognition, temperament and physical health… Our findings suggest that stressful social environments experienced by a mother impact her offspring... and that this is already detectable in the first weeks after birth."

These results are sad and astounding.

At Peak Biometric Research we offer a unique formulation, Sanyx (www.MySanyx.com), which helps reduce the effects of excess cortisol on target organs… BUT, this breakthrough is not meant to be used by pregnant women. We wish it were otherwise.

However, we license a personal, smart-phone based, physician-created testing system, called i-CalQ, which can help women monitor cortisol levels at home, so they and their doctors can take appropriate steps to lower stress. If necessary.

This inexpensive unit attaches to your smartphone and uses a drop of saliva to test. Results are available in minutes.
