So, let’s talk about Cortisol.

Cortisol is that nasty hormone that makes you get a beer belly due to stress, and the only thing that can be done about it is removing the stress from our life. That is partly true. A balanced diet, focus on sleep, limit caffeine and alcohol are all great steps. Cortisol can be managed with herbal medicine as well. Check out these blog posts on herbs that can help reduce cortisol: Rhodiola, Ginseng, and my favorite Ashwagandha (translated from Sanskrit means smells like a horse.) There are also supplement makers with formulas to reduce stress and cortisol when you have done all you can do.
