The Hidden Stress Crisis: How Cortisol Shapes Your Aging Process | Ep. 276


Listen Later

Is your phone silently sabotaging your hormones?

In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, we’re joined by Justin Hai—entrepreneur, wellness visionary, and author of the upcoming book STRESS Nation—to discuss how our addiction to screens and overstimulation is disrupting cortisol, the master stress hormone.

Justin unpacks how modern technology is rewiring our biology—leading to poor sleep, anxiety, hormone imbalance, and burnout. Drawing from his background in design, biotechnology, and hormone science, he offers fresh insight into the role cortisol plays in aging, midlife transitions (especially for women), and overall vitality.

Whether you’re feeling constantly tired, burned out, or just want to better understand your body’s natural rhythms, this episode will help you reclaim balance in a world addicted to input.

Topics covered include:

• The tech-stress connection and its hormonal impact

• Why cortisol is key to sleep, energy, and longevity

• How midlife and menopause are uniquely affected

• Strategies to reset your hormonal clock naturally
