WHAT I DID ⤵️⤵️⤵️

If you’re reading this you most likely suspicious of your corisol and hormone levels.

📍FIRST : ✨Follow @thecortisolcode (or you will not receive any of my messages - they will come in blank)

Cortisol is a hormone in our body and if you have imbalanced hormones it can leave you in a state of fight or flight.

Cortisol is the primary stress hormone, it increases glucose in our blood stream which aids in repairing tissue.

If your body spends a long time in a chronic period of high stress, it will start pumping out too much cortisol creating high cortisol in our body, which you do not want. 70-80% of people admit to being highly stressed.

5 General signs that you have too much cortisol include:

1️⃣ Face and stomach weight gain

2️⃣ Extreme Fatigue

3️⃣ Anxious

4️⃣ Constant brain fog

5️⃣ Leaky gut, digestion and stomach issues

When I realized I was dealing with high cortisol I started adding new things to my daily routine that helped me support healthy cortisol levels.

A friend of mine knew how much I was struggling and shared a duo with me that supports healthy cortisol and hormone levels and it changed my life. Within 3 days of adding this, I began feeling significantly better. I finally started losing weight, my face slimmed, my spiraling thoughts stopped and my brain fog cleared. I’m sleeping amazing, and I finally have motivation again. I had more patience with my husband and no longer feeling overwhelmed. I’m now down 15 lbs, multiple jean sizes and feel better than I ever have

... Read moreCortisol, known as the stress hormone, plays a vital role in your body's response to stress and maintains a balance in metabolism and immune response. High cortisol levels can lead to numerous health issues like weight gain around the abdomen, fatigue, and digestive problems. Symptoms often include weight gain, especially around the midsection, anxiety, brain fog, and sleep disturbances. Recognizing these symptoms early is crucial for effective management. Incorporating lifestyle changes such as mindfulness practices, regular exercise, and a balanced diet rich in nutrients can help regulate cortisol levels. Adaptogens like ashwagandha and Rhodiola rosea can also potentially assist in reducing stress and promoting hormonal balance. It's essential to prioritize sleep and create a relaxing evening routine to help combat high cortisol levels. Monitoring your stress triggers and implementing strategies to manage them effectively can make a significant difference in your overall wellness. The path to recovery begins with understanding your body's signals and taking proactive steps towards balance.

A close-up shows a fresh, delicate line-work tattoo of a leafy branch on a person's forearm. In the background, various tattoo flash art designs and rows of colorful ink bottles are visible, indicating a tattoo shop setting.

Did I overpay for my tattoo???
I want to get more tattoos and I don’t know if I should pick a different shop. I paid $150 (before tip) for literally just line work. Shop minimum was $80 so I figured since there’s no shading just lines it would be closer to that, what do you think? #tattoo #tattoostruggles #didioverpay #
