Hi fellas........,
Cortisol is the stress (fat storage) hormone that is released when you are under pressure, frustrated, not getting enough sleep, worrying about your kids… it’s your “flight or fight” response.
Cortisol is an important hormone because it is used by the body for so many functions, including proper glucose metabolism, blood pressure regulation, immune system function and inflammatory response.
Unfortunately, stress creates high levels of cortisol and high levels actually do more harm than good.
High levels of cortisol can lead to sleep problems, autoimmunity, an imbalance in blood sugar, even weight gain (most often around your midsection).
You see, cortisol's job is to replenish your body after a stressful situation, which when elevated for long periods of time, causes your appetite to increase and thus, the vicious cycle continues.
Don’t worry, my friend. We’ve all been there… stressed out, overwhelmed and feeling frazzled.
Unfortunately, when this hormone is elevated, it doesn't matter how much you workout or how badly you want to get in great shape.
Elevated cortisol is one of the top reasons why your tireless efforts may not be paying off, leaving your body stuck in limbo, instead of reflecting the hard work you’re putting in at the gym.
Lucky for us, the ancients knew of an adaptogenic root that has the ability to lower cortisol levels up to 29%! Isn’t that amazing?
