In this episode, we break down:

• How stress management is fundamental and how to take the pressure off yourself. 
• Why your body doesn’t know the difference between a lion chasing you and daily mental stress
• How prolonged high cortisol skyrockets inflammation and slows your thyroid (tanking your metabolism)
• Why digestion stalls, leaving you feeling bloated and uncomfortable
• The science behind cortisol and stubborn belly fat storage
• Why women often feel like they’ve “failed” their diet when really it’s stress holding them back

This is one of the most overlooked factors in weight loss, especially during stressful times on the planet right now.

✨ Stay tuned for our next episode where I’ll share practical, simple strategies to lower cortisol and finally see results.
