How to Calm the Cortisol That’s Hijacking Your Hormones

September 30, 20252 min read

Living in “Go Mode”

Have you ever felt like your body is constantly in overdrive?

  • Wired but tired

  • Snappy with your kids

  • Holding on to belly fat no matter what

  • Tossing and turning at 2:00 AM… again

You’re not imagining it.

That’s cortisol. She’s not the villain—but she is out of balance.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” — John 14:27

You Were Made for Peace

Not just spiritual peace—but physiological peace too.

When your stress response is constantly activated, your hormones go haywire. And here’s what most women don’t realize about cortisol:

  • Blocks fat-burning

  • Disrupts thyroid function

  • Lowers progesterone (hello mood swings and anxiety)

  • Increases blood sugar and insulin resistance

So if you’ve been asking, “Why do I feel anxious, inflamed, and stuck?”—there’s a good chance cortisol is driving the car.

What If You Could Calm Cortisol Naturally?

Let me ask you this:

If you knew how to calm your cortisol naturally, how would that shift your sleep, your weight, your emotions—and even your relationship with God and others?

Because here’s the truth:

Your hormones aren’t betraying you.
They’re begging for rhythm.
