Feeling wired but tired? Struggling to lose fat no matter how “clean” you eat? Social media says it’s your cortisol — but is that really true?
In this episode, Samantha breaks down the truth about cortisol, stress, and hormone “dysregulation” — without the fear-mongering or fake fixes. You’ll learn what cortisol actually does, how it might be impacting your energy, cravings, and fat loss, and (more importantly) what you can do about it — even in the chaos of mom life.
You’ll walk away with real-life, actionable steps to support your body, regulate your nervous system, and feel like you again — no pricey tests or extreme protocols required.
