As we’ve discussed this week, the actual problem isn’t “high cortisol” per se.

***see comments for Somatic Lowering Cortisol in the evenings exercise****

It’s an imbalanced cortisol rhythm—or chronically high cortisol. Again, we want our cortisol to be higher in the mornings because it’s responsible for transporting glucose to our tissues for energy. I don’t know about you, but I need all the energy I can get in the mornings!

We’ll discuss these tips more in depth as we continue throughout the month, but for today, here are a few scientifically proven strategies to help with your AM cortisol ⬇️

☀️ 10-15 minutes of morning sunlight (no sunglasses) within the first hour of waking up

☀️ hydration (16-32 oz water) upon waking (and before coffee, ideally)

☀️ drink coffee/caffeine (after water, of course!)

☀️ exercise within the first 2-3 hours of waking

☀️ eat grapefruit or a small amount of black licorice in the morning (Hey, it’s science. 😉)

I encourage you to write these tips down and put them in a place where you’re reminded to practice them throughout the month. Even if you can’t practice them all, I encourage you to take one or two and start implementing them to build better cortisol-balancing habits! ⚖️

⬇️⭐️NEW CLIENT INFO and TO-DO’s⭐️⬇️

Happy Friday, friends! It’s one of our favorite days of the week because on Fridays, we set aside time to celebrate our wins. We don’t simply celebrate for the fun of it (though we love that part, too!)---we celebrate because it quite literally changes your brain and motivates you to keep going! 🙌

It’s important to note that we celebrate all wins around here, both big and small. Even more importantly, we celebrate non-scale victories (or NSVs) because if there’s anything I want you to take away from today’s message, it’s this ⬇️

The scale is the least accurate tool to measure your success throughout this journey. 💯

🎉Did you consume mostly whole food nutrition?

🎉Did you focus on your 3 W’s?

🎉Are you already sleeping better?

Today is all about celebrating YOU! Let’s hear your wins!

NEW CLIENT ACTION ITEMS:
