Episode Highlights
Cortisol is bad, right?
"Cortisol's the hero, actually. It's a villain in many people's eyes, but it's actually the hero and it's just been abused. "
Why we need to Sleep All Night
" If you're not sleeping, you're not making your hormones and health starts to unravel, and it unravels in all the symptoms that you talk about... Cortisol in an elevated state, is the underlying root cause for all of our health issues that we suffer from today as a mass population."
Stop Ignoring Impact of Technology
"The average person touches their phone 2,600 times a day. Every single time. It vibrates. Buzzes makes a noise of some sort. Your cortisol goes up ever so slightly because you don't know if it's good news or bad news."
What does the data say about HRT?
"Once you start on HRT, whether it's testosterone, progesterone, or estrogen, after 12 months, you have an 80% chance of never making those hormones again, even if you come off of it."
Define 'Practical Stress Management'
"Nothing brings your cortisol down, like having fun and laughter... We've forgotten to play. As adults, we need to play. Get rid of your ego... Just go have fun, do silly stuff because it's fun. "
