The Key to Losing Weight is Lowering Cortisol!

How to Assess Your Cortisol Levels

You can tell by observing yourself closely:

1. High Cortisol: Central obesity, meaning a large belly with relatively slim limbs.
2. General Fatigue,  feeling constantly tired, with muscle weakness and slower wound healing.
3. Low Cortisol: Feeling drained, lacking appetite, and experiencing weight loss.

Signs of High Cortisol

1. Sudden, uncontrollable cravings for food.
2. Stress causes a strong desire for specific foods—cake, fried chicken, cookies, or other high-calorie options.
3. You’re not truly hungry, but can’t control the urge to eat.
4. Even while eating, you feel anxious or irritable.
5. Before you know it, you've overeaten and regret it.
6. You can resist during the day, but at night, the cravings return.
7. Despite sticking to exercise, your waistline doesn’t budge, and you still carry extra belly fat.

How to Lower Cortisol

                     1. Eat Breakfast On Time:

                     After waking up, cortisol levels may spike.

                     Eating breakfast helps lower it.

              2. Get Outdoors and Soak Up the Sun:

              Spending time in nature and getting sunlight

              improves mood and emotional well-being,

              which helps reduce stress and cortisol.

                          3. Other Daily Tips:

                           Add cinnamon to your coffee.

                          Its properties help lower cortisol and suppress appetite.

              4. Listen to Relaxing, Upbeat Music:

              Music can help calm your body and mind,

              reducing stress and cortisol levels.
