Stress. For most of us, it's just a normal part of life, right?
We spend a good chunk of our weeks feeling stretched to the max and overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks still left undone on that neverending list of things to do.
Half the time we're running on adrenaline and can't turn off our brain, and the other half we just want to crawl into a ball and just veg out to get away from the constant flow of thoughts and worries and things we need to take care of.
And if you're feeling this way right now, I promise you—you're definitely not alone.
But just because all this ongoing stress and anxiety is COMMON, doesn't mean it's okay.
In fact, when it comes to our health, chronic stress is pretty devastating because high cortisol—also known as the stress hormone—can set off a chain reaction of hormonal imbalance in our bodies that affects everything else we do.
And so it begs the question—exactly how stressed are you, really?
Should you be concerned? How do you know if your cortisol is too high?
And what can you do about it?
That's exactly what we're talking about today.
