Why Cortisol is the Problem


 






Stress is no joke.

 



That’s because the stress hormone cortisol has a ripple effect on just about every aspect of physical and mental health, like…

 

🔥 Immune Function

Cortisol keeps inflammation in check, but too much can lower the body’s ability to fight off infections and illness.

 

🍪 Blood Sugar

Cortisol increases blood sugar (to help us respond to stress), but this can lead to insulin resistance and blood sugar issues over time.

 

👖 Belly Fat

Chronically elevated cortisol leads to weight gain—particularly around the middle.

 

💩 Bloating & Digestion

The gut is our second brain and responds to stress hormones too!

 

❣️ Emotional Health

Cortisol can contribute to anxiety, restlessness, apathy, and other mood changes.

 

So, what can we do?

 



This is one of the most significant root causes of health issues in so many of my clients. What we do is look at what is actually happening with cortisol and come up with a plan to bring it back to a healthy and natural rhythm.


Watch for my next post. I’ll be sharing some surprising things that spike cortisol levels.

Unlike 26 other jurisdictions within the United States (23 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), Georgia chooses not to regulate the practice of Naturopathy in any form. As a result, Naturopathic Doctors are not licensed healthcare providers in Georgia and the service of Naturopathy is educational in nature and does not replace the relationship of a primary care provider. In Georgia, Naturopathic Doctors do not manage pharmaceutical medications nor do we prescribe any pharmaceuticals. In non-regulated states, all information provided during the course of our service is intended to educate and empower each and every individual however, it is not intended as medical advice, nor is it intended to replace the advice of a licensed provider.
