Cortisol – Your bloods are *fine* but you don’t feel fine?

Cortisol – Your bloods are *fine* but you don’t feel fine?

Your bloods say you’re fine,

but you don’t feel fine?

The hidden blood test nuggets – Cortisol Hormone

Are you feeling anxious and you don’t know why?

Do you feel
 numb/meh/bleh and not like yourself and can’t be bothered with anything lately?
 
Have you been feeling so sluggish that you’re struggling to wake in the morning and could easily nap in the day?
 
Are your muscles achier than usual? Your motivation non-existent?

You might think your stress hormone cortisol is super high, but I bet my bottom dollar it’s actually too low.
 
Low cortisol issues are massively overlooked because we generally assume cortisol is high ALL THE TIME.

But if tiredness and low moods are in the picture – then you may be looking at it all wrong.
This also means a lot of support & supplements to REDUCE cortisol are causing more harm than good.

How hasn’t this been flagged in your blood test results?
#1. Cortisol isn’t generally tested unless you ask
#2. For your blood test to flag a low cortisol – your cortisol has to be MASSIVELY struggling.
 
Aka. you’ll be feeling so flat emotionally, physically and mentally. And usually placed on antidepressant medication before having your cortisol looked at.


But there is a much more specific reference range you can look for with cortisol to know it’s healthy and doing well and NOT causing your tiredness, anxiousness or meh mood.

 

 
And that is what we dive into on todays poddy episode on the Frazzled to Freakin’ Free podcast.

This episode is part 5 – all about your cortisol hormone and how to detect if it’s too low.
A lot of my clients are shocked expecting high cortisol because of how go go go and easily stressed they are – but these are also classic signs of LOW cortisol.

So let’s figure out if you’re the same.

 

Listen to part 1, 2, 3 and 4 – all about discovering the true nutrient deficiencies in your blood test results such as vitamin D, iron and vitamin B12 and about your thyroid hormones. (especially if you’ve been told you’re ‘fine’)

How Nicola became calm, clear headed and in control

And still is over 9 months later

Struggling to get through your to-do list and clearly see exactly what you need to do without drowning in overwhelm?

Nicola was.

But not anymore!

Nicola’s story is one I’d bet my bottom dollar you totally relate to.

A business owner who was drowning in everything she had to do, found simple & easy tasks too hard, and riddled with health issues with her energy, gut and skin.

But not only was her business and clients being impacted, so were her relationships and zest for life.

But within 8 weeks, she was so much calmer, clear headed, energised and most importantly, feeling happy and connected to the people who mattered most to her.

More importantly, she still feels this way, 7 months AFTER Frazzled to Free ended.

She’s getting through more to-do’s, being more productive, doing things daily that are nourishing to her soul AND has time left over at the end of the day to do whatever her heart desires. #worklifegoals

      The red flags that your stress hormones are outta whack

      (especially if you don’t *feel* stressed)

      Just because you don’t *feel* stressed, doesn’t mean your body isn’t battling high stress hormones.

      These stress hormones are impacting your gut, skin, immunity, happiness and energy.

      Feeling overwhelmed, scattered or highly strung are just the mental symptoms of stress.

      You may no longer *feel* them because your mind has learnt to adapt and cope with this way of thinking (hello perfectionists and overachievers)…but it doesn’t mean the stress hormones turn off.

      Those stress hormones are still raging at an all time high in your body and impacting all aspects of your body and health.

      So how can you tell when your stress hormones are too high, if you don’t mentally feel stressed?

      Well luckily for you, your body will give you physical symptoms to let you know it’s under some serious stress hormone pressure.
