Angry vs Hungry

As the blood sugars drop, we increase our cortisol and adrenalin – so our kind of fight or flight hormones – and those have an impact on our brain and the neuropeptides – the things that control our brain, the chemicals in our brain, the ones the trigger for hunger are the same ones that trigger for anger and also for rage and impulsive type behaviours. So that’s why you get that sort of same response.
