Summary

Todays episode was on cortisol and stress. I dove deep on the research and why cortisol is not always a bad thing. However, today the way we have it chronically elevated is severely compromising not only our health, but our body as whole. Interesting that we are seeing declines in hormone levels at an exponentially higher rate today than we did 30 years ago. The one big culprit for that is the extremely high stress world we live in. I gave you some tactical steps you can do to help minimize stress responses so you can better hit your fitness goals! And most importantly, to be happy and healthy!
