The experience can
alter parts of the brain which in turn control the production of hormones (known as gonadotropin - releasing hormones, or GnRH) which then regulate
gonadal (testicular) development.
When cortisol is dysregulated (i.e., too high, then over time, too high and too low, and ultimately, too low), it
alters thyroid and
gonadal function, making it harder to lose weight and conceive.
