Cortisol the Master Hormone
Part of my mission to empower you to be in the driver’s seat of your health is to understand when your hormones are signaling to you.
If you’ve ever gone to the doctor to get help with alarming physical issues…and your doctor runs tests and tells you everything came back “normal” (which isn’t the same as optimal, by the way)...
Stress is usually their go-to explanation for why you’re experiencing bizarre physical symptoms that aren’t showing up on medical tests (at least, not the standard tests administered by most primary care providers).
After studying functional medicine, and supporting dozens of women in achieving optimal hormone levels, I learned it’s not that black and white.
You’ve probably heard of the hormone cortisol…
Your body relies on cortisol for several important functions, including proper thyroid function.
It’s so important to remember that cortisol is not bad, because there are no “bad” hormones.
Here are some consequences of low cortisol:
Exhaustion
Lethargy
Malaise
Depression
Weakness
Pain
Inflammation
Dizziness Upon Standing
Low Pulse Rate
Allergies
Asthma
Low Blood Sugar
Intense Cravings
Poor Thyroid Cellular Energy
Potassium/Sodium Imbalance
Here are some consequences of high cortisol:
Hypervigilance
Feeling Overly Alert
Feeling Doom N’ Gloom
Sleep Disruption
A Racing Mind
Accelerated Heart Rate And Pulse
Lower Bone Density
Poor Digestion
Depressed Immune System
Insulin Sensitivity
Muscle Wasting
Damage To Blood Vessels
Imbalanced Levels Of Sodium, Chloride, And Potassium
Cortisol is so much more than the “stress hormone,”
It influences everything from your body’s ability to digest food and fight illness…to your energy levels and mood…to whether or not you crave sweets (and unhealthy foods in general).
