If you’ve scrolled social media lately, you’ve probably seen cortisol blamed for everything — stubborn belly fat, stress, cravings, even bloating. But is cortisol really the villain it’s made out to be? The truth is, cortisol is essential for survival — the problem comes when it stays elevated for too long.

In this episode of Candidly with Coffee, we break down the myths and facts about cortisol, how it really impacts your body in midlife, and the practical steps you can take to manage it without falling for gimmicks like “cortisol cocktails” or fad supplements.

What you’ll learn:
✔️ Why cortisol isn’t all bad — and why your body needs it to survive
✔️ How chronic stress, alcohol, and poor sleep keep cortisol elevated
✔️ The connection between cortisol, cravings, and belly fat storage
✔️ Why social media myths about cortisol are misleading and even harmful
✔️ Simple, proven ways to naturally regulate cortisol through sleep, movement, and stress management

Cortisol isn’t your enemy — but unmanaged stress can be. This episode will help you understand the difference and take control of your health in midlife.
