It's Not You, It's Your Hormones

60. Expat Life: Cortisol & Chaos


Listen Later

So many of my clients are expats or frequent travelers and every single one of them has said some version of this to me: "I'm in the most beautiful place I've ever lived and I feel absolutely terrible."

I get it. I've lived it.


 

Seven and a half years abroad. A deportation. A visa rejection. A breakup that cost me my right to stay in a country I'd built my entire life in. And a body that, despite all my protocols, completely fell apart under the weight of it.


 

This episode is the one I wish someone had handed me when I first touched down in Melbourne with two suitcases and absolutely no idea what I was doing to my hormones.


 

If you're an expat, a frequent traveler, or you're doing everything "right" but your body just isn't cooperating, this one's going to hit.

What we cover:


 

Why expat life is one of the most hormonally expensive lifestyles you can live and why generic wellness advice isn't built for you

What chronically elevated cortisol actually does downstream to your sex hormones, your metabolism, your sleep, and your weight

The difference between being resilient and being resourced (and why that distinction is costing you)

The social isolation piece that nobody talks about and exactly how it keeps your nervous system in low-grade survival mode for years

The four non-negotiables for keeping your hormones stable when your life is constantly in flux

The real reason you're gaining weight around your middle despite working out
