The Truth About Cortisol with Rachel Sanders

There are so many misconceptions circulating on TikTok and Instagram about ways to “hack” your health as women—your cortisol levels, your sleep cycle, your period—so you can be the most optimized version of yourself… but there's often little-to-no scientific evidence to back it up.

That’s why the work Rachel Sanders is doing is so great. She’s the CEO and founder of Rootine, a line of targeted supplements and at-home lab tests that are rooted in science and customized to your unique daily routine. They have adaptogen drink mixes to help with sleep, focus and stress—plus, personalized multivitamins and in-depth tests for your cortisol, minerals, vitamins and DNA.

With 10 years’ experience at the intersection of health and technology, Rachel is disrupting the market as a woman founder in the male-dominated personalized health tech space. In addition to being a founder, Rachel is a startup advisor, angel investor, new mom, and has been featured across Forbes, Entrepreneur, Business Insider and more.

In today's episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery and Rachel talk about what you should (and shouldn't) be tracking when it comes to your health, what we're getting wrong about our cortisol levels, and what wellness at work actually looks like.

Head to rootine.co to try out their targeted supplements and at-home lab tests, and folllow Rachel at @rachelsopsanders on Instagram.
