Cortisol, the Stress Cycle & How to Close the Loop

🎙️ In this episode of The Arc Woman Podcast, we explore the stress cycle—what it is, how cortisol fuels it, and why so many women feel stuck in survival mode.🧠 We unpack how stress impacts your hormonal rhythm, digestion, thyroid, immune system, and menstrual cycle. You'll learn how your body was designed to respond to short bursts of stress—but not to stay there indefinitely.💥 Chronic cortisol elevation can wreak havoc, but the good news? You can complete the stress cycle and return to safety with intentional practices.🌿 We share nervous system tools, somatic techniques, and rituals that help signal to the body: “You’re safe now.” Think movement, breath, connection, and pleasure as medicine.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
