09. Meet Your Best Frenemy: How Cortisol Works In the Body

You’ve probably heard mention of this hormone before, but we’re going to be talking about your best hormonal FRENEMY… cortisol.  Cortisol is a super important hormone– critical to life, to keeping us safe and alive, giving us the ability to get out of bed in the morning and some strong signals that it's time to go to sleep at night. But what does cortisol do??  When it gets out of whack, our cortisol levels and the impact they have make it feel like our cortisol levels are working against us.  In this episode, we’re talking about cortisol… the most important hormone produced by the adrenal glands. We’ll get into what it does, how it impacts our body, and what it looks like when our cortisol levels aren’t where they should be... and what are normal cortisol levels. And, of course, I have a few simple shifts that you can do to start making an impact in this area today.
