104. Cortisol & Belly Fat: How the Stress Hormone Could Be Sabotaging Your Sleep, Mood, and Weight Loss
Are you constantly tired, holding onto stubborn belly fat, craving sugar and salt, or feeling wired but exhausted? You might be dealing with cortisol imbalance—and it could be wrecking your energy, sleep, mood, and weight loss goals.
In this episode, Tiffany Wickes—nutrition & fitness coach and mom of 7—breaks down what cortisol is, why so many moms have too much of it for too long, and what you can do to get it back in balance.
You’ll learn:
- What cortisol does in your body (and why you need it—but in the right amounts)
- Common symptoms of cortisol imbalance, from belly fat and PMS changes to mood swings and afternoon crashes
- Surprising triggers that spike cortisol (including some “healthy” habits)
- Why skipping meals, fasting too long, and overdoing cardio can backfire
- The connection between cortisol, melatonin, and poor sleep
- Simple, doable strategies to reset and recover
Tiffany shares practical tips you can start today—from eating protein within an hour of waking, to strength training instead of endless cardio, to prioritizing rest and smart supplementation.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, sluggish, or like your body isn’t responding no matter how “healthy” you eat, this episode will help you understand what’s going on under the surface—and how to fix it.
