Cortisol, Belly Fat, & Perimenopause: Replay of Betty Hormones Class 1

In this behind-the-scenes live episode from the Hormones Program
in Hello Betty, we look at the effects of cortisol on women. We
discuss how cortisol affects belly fat and weight gain, the
relationship between cortisol and our menstrual cycle, the
neurological effects of stress, and how to know if you are high
in cortisol. We also touch on how to reduce the effects and how
to supplement for high cortisol.
