Is Stress is the New Sugar? How Cortisol can Hijack your Body

It’s not just your diet — stress might be the most toxic thing on your plate If you have been eating well, exercising, and doing everything you are told to do for your health, yet still feel exhausted, wired at night, and crashing mid afternoon, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I explain the hidden hormone quietly hijacking women in midlife: cortisol. It behaves a lot like sugar. It gives you a quick burst of energy and then leaves you bloated, anxious, inflamed, craving more, and completely drained. Ambitious, high performing women like us often have the most disrupted cortisol rhythms. Listen to the end for three simple, science backed resets you can start today to feel more balanced, calmer, clearer, and more like yourself again....And if you know another woman who is running on empty, share this episode with her.
