Tips to reduce cortisol levels👇🏼✨

Cortisol, aka the “stress hormone”, is our friend not our fo (even tho it can feel like it sometimes) so we need to make sure to take good care of her.🩷

Here are simple shifts that you can implement in your morning routine to start the day right. ✨

1. Adequate sleep: establish a regular sleep schedule and aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Poor sleep habits can lead to increased cortisol levels.

2. Limit caffeine intake- excessive caffeine intake can elevate cortisol levels if too much is consumed and try avoiding having it first thing when you wake up- try drinking a glass a water first or having your breakfast/some type of food first.

3. Balanced breakfast- nutrition has an influence on cortisol levels for better or worse so it’s important to eat a balanced breakfast with whole foods that will in turn help improve your mental and gut health!

It’s all about mindfulness and balance- the first step is noticing and it’s up to you to take the steps 🦋

You got this!!
