Radio Show: Cortisol: The Unexpected Killer [Encore Replay]

In this show you’ll learn:

• A basic understanding of how cortisol works in your body, and what it is perfectly designed to do.
• A list of the most common health threats of having too much elevated cortisol over long periods of time.
• Some easy solutions you can do right now, as well as when you feel a stress reaction, to mitigate the cortisol spike.

Background:

Stress leads to the epidemic known as Adrenal Fatigue (also called adrenal burnout or adrenal exhaustion). When you secrete cortisol on a regular basis, it creates a whole host of problems for your body.

Years of high levels of cortisol cause serious problems. It will catch up with you, eventually.

Cortisol is not the “bad guy,” however! It is doing its job by reacting to what you tell it to: threats. The problem is that you are no longer being chased by a hungry tiger in real life, but you are reacting to your daily stresses as if you are.

Join Dr. Ritamarie and discover in this show the dangers of continual cortisol spikes, why it’s such a killer, and leave with some solutions you can implement right now to significantly diminish this very real health danger from your life.
