Are stress hormones secretly blocking your results? In this episode, Isaiah Bawek unpacks the hidden role cortisol plays in menopause — and why “doing more” often backfires when your body is already in survival mode.

You’ll learn:

  • The ways menopause makes you more sensitive to stress.
  • The signs cortisol is running your life — from belly fat to broken sleep.
  • Practical strategies to calm cortisol through training, nutrition, and recovery.
