In this episode, we explore how cortisol impacts weight loss and hormonal balance in midlife women. Key points covered:

  • Why chronic stress prevents weight loss, especially around the midsection
  • How cortisol acts as the "conductor" of your hormonal orchestra
  • The hidden sources of stress affecting your hormones
  • Signs of cortisol imbalance: sleep issues, energy crashes, sugar cravings
  • The hormonal domino effect: how cortisol impacts insulin, thyroid, and sex hormones
  • Practical steps to restore hormonal balance:
    • Morning routine with delayed screen time
    • Protein-rich breakfast within an hour of waking
    • Strategic breaks throughout the day
    • Evening wind-down routine
    • Consistent sleep schedule
