When Cortisol Messes With You + Debunking Adrenal Fatigue

I used to have insomnia. When I first moved to Adelaide (from Kangaroo Island), the fast paced and noisy big smoke put me in a state of frazzle. I'd tried every trick and herb in the book, but I still wouldn't go to sleep until I was utterly exhausted. When I started studying, I put this and many of my other symptoms down to 'adrenal stress' and then I was convinced I developed a state of 'adrenal fatigue'. Well that's what testing showed too. But the functional medicine community was missing parts of the puzzle when it came to stress and the adrenal glands and how this impacts your health.  & yes, this stress response I'm talking about governs the health of your energy, moods, skin, sleep, cycles, weight & more. We now know the 'adrenal stress' and 'adrenal fatigue' concept are actually a misrepresentation of what is really happening with your hormone production, in response to stress.  Want to know what piece of the puzzle you could be missing when it comes to your health?  Why you don't have adrenal fatigue but where your frustrating energy, sleep, cycle, cravings, weight gain, mood swings, anxiety symptoms could really be coming from? Today for episode 107 of the Back To The Paddock podcast, I'm joined by a friend and fellow women's health mentor, Steph Bartlett as we share personal stories of when cortisol goes crazy and delve into what this means for your health outcomes.   JOIN OUR FREE UPCOMING MASTERCLASS 'Are Imbalanced Cortisol Levels Impacting The Way You Look & Feel?' >> https://www.glowingmumma.com/cortisolmasterclass  PODCAST SHOWNOTES: https://www.kaseywillson.com/blog/episode107  SAY HI ON INSTA: @BackToThePaddock  & @KaseyWillson.Naturopath https://www.instagram.com/kaseywillson.naturopath/
