About this episode

This episode explores the impact of high cortisol on the nervous system and offers a somatic approach to reset it.

If your body feels like it's permanently on alert — tight shoulders, restless nights, a mind that won't slow down — that's your nervous system, not your circumstances. High cortisol is the biological marker of a system that hasn't received the signal that it's safe to stand down. And the reset doesn't start in your head.In this episode, we look at why high cortisol symptoms don't respond to willpower, and why the body keeps tensing even when there's nothing left to brace against. Then we do something about it.You'll discover: Why cortisol burnout keeps cycling even when life gets quieter The nervous system pattern that locks cortisol in place A simple somatic shift that begins the reset — from the inside out This is the why behind the work.
