Disclaimer: We mentioned chronic dieting, disordered eating, losing weight with unhealthy habits, and that most women should not have very low body fat year around. This is 100% dependent on the individual. Some women can maintain their health with lower body fat but many women are most healthy with around 18-22% bodyfat year around (thought it is perfectly healthy to go below temporarily with the right methods and habits). Please take everything we say with a grain of salt and undersatnd that everyone is different.

The Hidden Causes of Increased Cortisol!
Cortisol is a stress hormone, and when our body is under stress it dysregulates the release of cortisol.
Cortisol typically has a natural fluctuation during the day, starting higher in the morning and lower at night.
When it is dysregulated it typically remains high, but can also have a backward pattern being lower in the morning and higher at night.
This is why you may feel lethargic in the morning and energized at night.
But what in the world can cause your cortisol to increase?
Well, this week's podcast talks all about it!
You will learn about the HPA axis and the effect that chronic stress, inadequate sleep, and improper nutrition have on your cortisol level.
