CORTISOL FOR BEGINNERS 👇🏼
If you keep hearing about “high cortisol” but still have no idea what cortisol actually is… start here!
Cortisol is a hormone your body naturally produces as part of your stress response. And despite what social media might have you believe, **cortisol is NOT bad. We actually need it.**
The goal isn’t to “get rid of cortisol.” It’s to support a healthy cortisol rhythm.
Things like chronic stress, poor sleep, under-eating, blood sugar swings, overtraining, and even constantly running on caffeine can all add more stress to an already stressed body.
And when your stress response feels like it’s constantly switched ON, you may notice things like:
😴 Feeling tired but wired
☕ Needing caffeine just to function
🍫 Intense cravings or afternoon crashes
🌙 Trouble winding down at night
😵💫 Feeling overwhelmed or on edge
🏋🏼♀️ Poor workout recovery
So where do you even START?
I put together a **FREE Cortisol for Beginners guide** that breaks it down without making you feel like you need a degree in hormones to understand your own body 😅
Comment **CORTISOL** and I’ll send you the free guide. 🤍
