Most people don’t understand the connection between insulin resistance and elevated cortisol

If you have high cortisol you will keep pumping out glucose and the hormone insulin will try to compensate. Over time you can become insulin resistant and that means it’s very difficult to lose weight.

Foods to avoid would be refined carbohydrates and too much sugar, have a decent amount of protein and fat in each meal.

And of course there’s a massive need to manage the way to deal with stress through more journalling, more sleep, more self care, more meditation etc.

Balancing your circadian rhythm is also essential- morning light to help melatonin production, great sleep hygiene and not eating too close to bed time.

What do you need to do to help balance cortisol levels?
