Cortisol belongs to the glucocorticoid family (substances that raise your glucose) and is the hormone that controls your:
• Hunger cravings
• Digestion
• Blood pressure
• Sleep/wake cycle
• Ability to cope with stress
When cortisol is chronically elevated, it will impair other hormones, like progesterone, estrogen and the thyroid.
This is why you might be experiencing symptoms such as weight gain, feeling wired and tired, problems sleeping, unable to slow down and unwind and are quick to get angry.
Fixing the problem:
- Make sure the meals have protein & fiber * Seed Cycle to balance your menstrual cycle (see my YouTube channel)
- Eliminate xenoestrogens & Persistent Organic Pollutants
- Support your liver (milk thistle, beet root juice and bitter greens are all good)
- Make sleep a priority
- What is making your life stressful & what simple measures can you take to begin to change it
