Hello, dear listener and welcome back to owning it the anxiety podcast with me, Caroline

Forin. This week I'm so thrilled to have Becca Holland. She will be known on Instagram as

Health with Holland and she's absolutely massive over there. People are tuning in every day

to hear her prose of wisdom around managing our

adrenals and balancing cortisol. So I wanted to have her on to talk specifically about cortisol

in relation to anxiety. Is too much cortisol a bad thing? Is too little cortisol a bad thing?

Why does cortisol or lack thereof or too much of it give rise to anxiety?

How do we manage it? And her approach to, she's got such a realistic practical, no bullshit approach

to trying to achieve this balance, which we know we should all be aiming for, which in real

life for most people is just

elusive. So we have a really good quick chat here, really just get down to the point and try

to answer as many questions as possible about cortisol. And yeah, for me, it was super, super duper

informative, especially when it comes to the somatic movement, which she talks about towards the end of the podcast, which was something I hadn't really thought of before when it comes to managing anxiety.

So I hope you find it helpful. I hope you're taking care of yourself. It's a mad world out there right now. I know I've touched on that in recent episodes.

It's a lot and there's a lot of pressure coming up to this time of year.

So mind yourself.

Keep yourself a time out with this episode and I will be back very soon.

Becca Holland, thank you so much for being a guest and owning it the anxiety podcast.
