Cortisol Face, Adrenal Cocktails & Cortisol Testing – Debunking Cortisol Myths & Facts

Advice can be amazing—or a total miss—depending on who it is for and who it’s coming from. That’s especially true when it comes to hormones, where one-size-fits-all solutions from TikTok and Instagram don’t work. In this episode, Erin clears up the confusion about cortisol’s role in the body, addresses popular trends like adrenal cocktails and cortisol face, and discusses what high and low cortisol levels really mean for your health. Learn why lowering cortisol doesn’t always lead to weight loss and how to navigate testing options to get the most accurate results.
