Ep. 154 Weird Signs Your Cortisol is Out of Balance

The women who are often in the WORST position are the ones who have been conditioned to living in “fight or flight”.  It feels normal... they might even thrive off pressure and “perform better”. I’m talking to you high achievers.... Trouble is, regardless of whether or not you FEEL stressed, it’s all the same to your body... There’s only so much your body can take before it will start shutting down (Adrenal Fatigue or HPA Axis dysfunction), and FORCE you to slow down. And by that stage... it’s a bit late. It’s going to take you a lot longer to recover. Absolutely not impossible, but the journey can feel tedious and frustrating. In this episode, I want to share with you 13 specific signs that your cortisol might be out of balance and share my experiences with these signs. In next week's episode, we'll talk more about what to do if you have these issues but it all starts with awareness.  Time Stamps:  (1:32) My Adrenal Fatigue and Finally Feeling Recovered (2:47) Empathy For This Issue (6:05) Weirdly Specific Signs of Adrenal Fatigue (7:02) Twitching Eyelids (8:25) Noise Sensitivity (9:52) Compulsive Checking (12:09) Not Being Hungry in the Morning (12:22) Intense Sugar or Salt Cravings (15:14) Muscle Cramps and Aches (16:45) Brain Fog (17:56) Poor Short Term Memory (19:07) Don’t Feel Like Talking to People (22:42) Nightmares (23:50) Feeling Sick After Exercising (25:26) Round Puffy Face (27:59) My #1 Piece of Advice Through Healing (28:42) Next Week’s Episode (29:16) Please Share This Message With Others---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women’s Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------​Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we’ll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
