The Luminous Body Podcast

Stress is an unavoidable part of life. Finances, career, relationships - stressors can come from anywhere and everywhere. Whilst small doses of stress are easily regulated by the body, our system was never designed to deal with the onslaught brought on by today’s society. We can’t outrun, out-supplement, or out-think stress completely, but we can try to out-smart it.
There are so many contributing factors to stress, big and small, that we don’t have the power to control - and that in itself can be incredibly stress-inducing! On this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re giving you the knowledge you need to change the things you can (and accept the ones you can’t!). We’ll be breaking down the 3 biggest areas in our daily lives that are increasing our cortisol levels: our lifestyle, our sleep patterns, and our diet. There are fascinating correlations between all of these factors, from the obvious (like a difficult-to-handle boss) to the not-so-obvious (like your comfort snacking - it’s actually making you more stressed AND insulin resistant!). We’ll help you understand the sometimes complicated interactions that cortisol has on the multiple body systems, and share strategies for how you reduce that impact by making simple changes in your life today. But it’s not all doom and gloom! In fact, one of the best ways to reduce your cortisol levels is to embrace stress and view it as a normal part of life, not something we need to ‘fix’. By becoming more familiar with stress and how we feel it in our own bodies, we can learn to get comfortable with stress. Whilst you might not be able to control every aspect of stress in your life, you do have the power to control your reactions to it!
