098. The Cortisol Trap: Why You’re Exhausted, Gaining Belly Fat, and Still Stressed


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard cortisol is the “stress hormone” that’s keeping you stuck—but what if the real problem isn’t high cortisol… it’s low cortisol?

In this episode, I’m clearing up the confusion around cortisol and explaining why so many of the women I work with—especially in perimenopause and postmenopause—are actually dealing with burned out adrenals and low cortisol levels after years of chronic stress.

We’ll dive into:

  • How cortisol actually works (and what most people get wrong)

  • The hidden signs of adrenal fatigue

  • Why your body won’t burn fat if it doesn’t feel safe

  • 5 powerful steps to start rebalancing and healing

If you’re feeling tired all the time, craving salt, crashing in the afternoons, or stuck in survival mode—this one’s for you.
