## Being “tired” is common but not normal…

Feeling fatigued at any part of your day may be common, but is certainly not normal.

Cortisol is a stress hormone that is in our back corner ready to go to bat for us. It’s there to respond as soon as the body perceives stress. When the body experiences short term stress, cortisol performs beautifully. It makes itself available to put the body in a state of alert, so we can “react” as deemed necessary. When it’s long term stress, something internal/external or both, it becomes depleted. When cortisol becomes depleted the body takes over and begins stealing from other hormones, such as progesterone. Progesterone is needed for fertility, menstruation and gestation. BUT if progesterone is depleted, it can’t do that part of the job. Then estrogen takes over and then weight gain, heavy periods, infertility, cancerous growths, exhaustion, etc. ensues. Are you catching on? It’s allllllllllll related.

Will you join me in a webinar tomorrow? It’s FREE and it’s about “Rule Your Hormones: How to take back control”.
