BRS6(PM8) - Stress-Induced Appetite / Reward Drive Modulation
Stress-related modulation of appetite, reward drive, and food-seeking behaviour through cortisol, catecholamine, and metabolic signals.
Biological Role
↓ stress-driven cravings; ↑ appetite stability; ↑ reward-system steadiness
Dependencies (System Requirements)
KCs
- [MISSING_KC_FROM_COLUMN_C]
Optional BRSX Modifiers
- None listed
Cofactors (Chemical Enablement)
- magnesium
- B vitamins
- protein sufficiency context
Inputs (Dietary and Environmental)
protein-rich breakfast → appetite stability; low-glycaemic meals → reduced crash-driven seeking; stress regulation → ↓ cortisol eating pressure; sleep optimisation → ↓ appetite dysregulation
Outputs / Biological Effects
↓ stress-driven cravings; ↑ appetite stability; ↑ reward-system steadiness
Functional Mechanism Ownership
- BRS6(FM4)

- Diet-Supported
Constraints and Failure Modes

Notes
- Evidence Type (Column H): Human + mechanistic
- Evidence/Notes (Column N): Behaviour-adjacent but still mechanistic: maps stress physiology onto appetite/reward regulation.
