"Just relax" is the most useless advice anyone can give you about stress — and today we're talking about why. Cortisol, your body's primary stress hormone, is essential in the right amounts but wreaks havoc when chronically elevated: disrupted blood sugar, poor sleep, digestive issues, and even other hormone imbalances. In this episode, I break down what cortisol actually does, what happens when it stays elevated too long, and the real, physiological strategies that help regulate it — because relaxation alone isn't enough.
In this episode:
What cortisol actually does (and why it's not the enemy)
What chronic stress does to your blood sugar, sleep, and hormones
The gut-hormone-stress connection
5 real strategies for regulating cortisol (beyond "just relax")
