The only way I can prevent cortisol is to leave my job, kids and husband, and move to a desert island 😂

[loribakergirl]

1. Vary your fasts
2. Avoid processed foods (look to see if you’re eating toxic foods). Go clean foods!!
3. Exercise- vary it and make sure to give recovery days
4. Mindset matters!! Unplug from negativity whether from social media, thoughts, people, self talk! Start listening to people who are positive. Turn off the TV. Immerse yourself in a positive environment

Another commenter said to add:
#5. Sleep schedule and the importance of getting good sleep every night! Believe they say it’s best to keep consistent schedule every night too

[anniebeaudry]

You are so right! We can find peace and quiet through prayer, reading the Proverbs and staying away from toxic people.

I was in an abusive relationship for I er 40 years. When I got away I collapsed. My cortisol was so high and had been so long they were sure I had adrenal cancer. From this I got fibro. And the fat just piled on layer After layer. I'm healing slowly after being bed ridden for a decade. It feels like my whole life has been in prison. But I'm still a grateful.person and I think that has helped me slowly i'm ready to have a part of my life be free and healing.

I am caring for my dad (dementia/cancer) and my handicap mother. Grounding has been my savior 🙏

I have finally come to the conclusion that i have to get my cortisol spikes under control. I have fasted and done other food changes but I have a complete cortisol belly that won't budge. Hoping to figure this out so I can finally lose the weight. Thank you for the video .

Fasting - easy. Clean food -getting easier. Exercise - walking is enough. Thoughts - omg, meditation and mindfulness help but its a daily battle.

“You cannot heal a body you hate.” Thank you, Dr. Mindy! ❤

When i feel stress, at any time, i do the breathing exercises ( smell the roses....blow out the candles). This really works for me!

[Blueskys]

My cortisol went up when I met my husband. All of a sudden I had this protruding stomach and nothing else changed but meeting him, ugh, stress!!!!

My biggest challenge has been watching my daughter battle cancer for 3 years. She passed away 5 months ago. Im struggling with my weight. Grief is a horrible tiger to wrangle

Spiking cortisol when we:
Fasting - we spike a bit of cortisol, our body adapts well to a bit of stress. Do fasting variations so the variation ensures cortisol doesn’t stay high. Don’t do the same fast everyday, especially the OMAD fast.
Food - highly processed food spikes our cortisol. Sixty percent of grocery store foods are high in sugar and seed oils. Am I eating toxic food? Is my food clean…natures carbs? All the extra cortisol gots into fat reserves.
Exercise - when pushing our body metabolically through exercise we need to be sure to have recovery days. Vary exercise. Push hard but follow up with walks. Not every exercise has to be all out. Take walks, relax in the sunshine, etc.
Thoughts - our mind set matters. Listen to your self talk How am I talking to myself? Are my thoughts negative? Am I kind to myself? What am I reading? What types of people am I talking to?
Turn off the tv, find new positive friendships…immerse yourself in a positive environment.
Healing g takes time. Fall in love with our beautiful bodies!

I choose to quit ruminating. Eliminated so much stress and cleared up my mind!

A day of rest is critical. Our creator knew that when he commanded it.

Hi Dr Mindy the game changer for me is PLAIN Organic Greek Yogurt, " unsweeten" I'nstead of having a full serving at once. I'll have 1 hefty tablespoons, in between hunger, or on a empty stomach to make the gut happy, before my 1st meal. The weight came off. I do squats to keep glucose low. 4 sets of 10, with ease. . key is finding the hacks and mixing things up ! thank u so much .

[northislander]

Dr Mindy, I am so blessed to have discovered you! I own three of your books and have bought several copies of Fast Like a Girl for friends and family. I love sharing my journey with everyone who asks me what I did to look so good. I tell them I went on intermittent fasting to cure some problems the doctor said could not be cured. I’ve learned how to eat healthy when not fasting and I feel so much better. I have lost 55 pounds in eight months and feel great. Cortisol levels spike sometimes but not often anymore. Thanks to better health I’m going on a cruise vacation! Thank you

[kristinahill]

Yes yes yes! Daily outdoor knit walks are helping reduce my cortisol and it is paying off big time!!!!
