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
