Weight gain and increased anxiety? 🤨
The stress hormone that never switches off ‼️
Your cortisol level might be flipped..
This hormone is meant to spike in the morning and fall at night ...
Modern life keeps it high after sunset- blocking melatonin 🛑
Try this 👇🏼
☀️ Getting morning sunlight/ light upon wakening
🏃🏼 Move - your body feels safe when it moves
♾️ Deep breathing - make a conscious effort to spend a few minutes a day doing it
🥚 Eat protein and fat within 60 mins of getting up
💤 Reduce bright light - blue light reduced deep sleep / try creating a healthier wind down routine.
🌯 Eating late only spikes your cortisol level
Giving your body more work to do during the night.
💛 Our bodies need to rest and digest too
" The parasympathetic nervous system"
Balancing out the activity of the fight or flight response ☯️
