Episode 57: How to actually lower your cortisol: 12 root causes of high cortisol that are rarely talked about
Everyone is talking about how excess cortisol is at the root of so many chronic symptoms. I see IG posts every day that say lowering cortisol will effortlessly make you lose weight, reduce bloating, clear your skin, balance your hormones, etc. And while I do agree that cortisol can drive chronic illness, I think there is a big piece of this discussion that isn’t talked about enough: what is driving the cortisol up in the first place? Hint: it’s so much more than just being mentally “stressed.” In this episode I go into SO much detail around the things that raise cortisol, beyond just the typical emotional stressors and mental overwhelm.
I discuss…
• Aspects of lowering cortisol that are often forgotten about • Myths around lowering cortisol • The dangers of lowering cortisol too much • Signs you have excess cortisol • How high cortisol impacts your hormones, gut, thyroid, weight, skin, mood, and sleep • How stress impacts your mitochondria • Things that raise cortisol that have NOTHING to do with mental/emotional factors • 12 things that keep your cortisol high • The most important things to do if you want balanced stress/cortisol levels • And MORE
