It’s actually your body throwing up a warning sign. A puffy face can show up when:
• Cortisol is high → your body holds onto sodium + water
• Blood sugar is unstable → inflammation increases
• Sleep was poor → your lymphatic system didn’t drain properly
• You’re dehydrated → the body retains MORE fluid to compensate
• Gut issues are brewing → bloating + fluid imbalance show up in the face
• Estrogen is elevated → fluid retention + morning swelling
1. FIX 1 : Start with protein at breakfast + avoid high-sugar foods early. This keeps inflammation + fluid retention down.
2. FIX 2 : Try magnesium, L-theanine, or a calm nighttime routine.
3. FIX 3 : Drink more water and reduce hidden sodium (takeout, snacks).
