Ep 84 The 5 Day Cortisol Reset for Better Sleep, Energy, & Hormones

Do you feel wired but tired? Like your workouts aren’t working anymore, or that you can’t bounce back from stress the way you used to? In this episode, I share the exact five-day cortisol reset I use with clients, especially women in perimenopause and high-achievers with disrupted stress cycles. I break down how cortisol is meant to work (and what’s going wrong), why stress hits harder in your 30s, 40s, and 50s, and how to reset your stress response for better sleep, energy, and hormonal balance. Get ready to restore your rhythm, regulate your hormones, and give your nervous system the reset it’s craving. In this episode, you will learn: 00:00 What most doctors (and even I) misunderstood about cortisol. 03:00 How cortisol cycles flatten during perimenopause. 07:15 What is the 5 day cortisol reset? 12:00 Supplements and herbs that support a calm nervous system. 15:00 The sunlight and circadian trick that regulates your hormones. 17:30 What to avoid on your reset for maximum results. 19:45 When to repeat the cortisol reset throughout the year.
