Cortisol, Hormones, and Menopause Fat Loss | MMP Ep. 76

Last episode I went over all the reasons you could experience sudden weight gain in perimenopause (and onwards) including various hormonal imbalances. I then touched on how to improve/combat all those issues so you can lose weight and there was one thing that ALL of them had in common - improving cortisol levels! So today I did a deep dive on cortisol, how it affects ALL areas of your body (including hormonal issues) and what you can do to start improving levels today. I touched on how DUTCH testing gave me much different results than those of blood work which you can learn more about here: Don’t forget to share with all your friends!
