Your "High Cortisol" Isn't the Problem. Here's the Root Cause
To sign up for my coaching: https://ob-health.com/Your doctor treats the number on your blood work. The supplement industry sells you a symptom. Almost nobody goes after the actual root cause β and for most people, the root cause of high cortisol, chronic inflammation, water retention, and even high blood pressure is one thing: body fat.In this episode I break down why we're obsessed with treating after-effects (statins, cortisol blockers, "metabolism boosters," GLPs) instead of fixing the source, how the marketing around all of it is engineered to keep you on a lifelong subscription, and what to actually pay attention to if you want to lose fat and get these markers back in range.Want a coach to help you find and fix the root cause instead of chasing symptoms?
