Screenshots of three TikToks. Each is a woman posing with text overlaid. First one: "When you realize your painful periods, low energy, constant bloating, & stubborn weight is from high cortisol levels, which is throwing off your hormones, slowing your metabolism, & increasing inflammation. This is why you don't feel like yourself & feel crazy." Second: "8 signs your cortisol is high: 1. you are carrying weight in the midsection & your face. 2. you have digestive issues/gut/immune system issues. 3. you are always tired & exhausted yet you can't wind down. 4. Hair is thinning & falling out. 5. Constantly craving sugar & salt. 6. Struggling with brain fog. 7. your mood is an emotional roller coaster. 8. Waking at 2 or 3am & can't get back to sleep." Third: "Ladies.... What if I told you that your husbands "short fuse" was actually his cortisol imbalances that lead to anxiousness and many times is exhibited through anger outbursts. Balance the cortisol = lengthening the fuse!"
