It’s time that we tackle a hot topic that’s at the root of sooo many health issues - cortisol imbalance.
If you follow any health or wellness account on social media, I know you’re seeing content regarding cortisol. Yeah..it’s trending everywhere, and is definitely having its moment right now!
While some of these cortisol ‘balancing’ products that you’re seeing and hearing about are gimmicky, cortisol is super important, and we need to pay attention to it. Cortisol is much more than just the body’s stress hormone - it plays a critical role in our overall well-being.
In today’s episode, I want to share a kind of ‘crash course’ into cortisol, and how it impacts everything from your mood and sleep, to your immune system and gut health. I’m diving into the signs for high cortisol vs. low cortisol, 5 common causes that lead to cortisol imbalances, practical steps you can take to support healthy levels of cortisol, and more.
If you’re experiencing chronic stress, sleep issues, or you’re just feeling ‘off’, I’ve got good news - you CAN feel safe and regulated again. I'm excited to announce our upcoming, FREE 10 day challenge, Calm The Cortisol, kicking off November 4th, 2024!
