Our relationship to cortisol, the stress hormone, is often misconstrued. Most people believe cortisol is bad--something we need to lower and keep at bay. But what if the way we've been thinking about cortisol is wrong? In The Cortisol Cure, "Stress Reset Expert" Dr. Erin Kinney introduces the concept of the "Cortisol Bank Account" your body uses to get energy, handle stress, heal, and perform at its best--anytime you're in a resting state, you're earning cortisol. When you're not, you're spending cortisol. Just like balancing a budget, if you don't have as much coming in as going out, you're going into debt and it is this precise predicament which is at the root of so many symptoms in the body. When we learn our body's relationship to the stress hormone, we create the environment for you to reset your stress response, boost your energy, and feel better than ever.
