Stress, cortisol, and inflammation often get a bad rap, but what if we could shift our perspective?
In this episode of the Peaceful Plate Podcast, I explore how these natural processes are meant to support us—and what happens when they get out of balance.
Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated, which can contribute to ongoing inflammation, making it even harder for our bodies to find equilibrium.
Instead of fearing stress or trying to control inflammation through rigid food rules (which can actually create even more stress for both our minds and bodies), we can focus on nurturing our nervous system, setting boundaries, and embracing rest and play as essential forms of self-care.

This practice helps decrease stress in your body—the foundational step to reducing cortisol and inflammation.✨
