mirror mirror on the wall, you need to lower your HIGH CORTISOL 

I'm showing up to support 😘. #75Kclub

things that helped me: - eating in regards to my cycle (cycle syncing) - feminine embodiment practices, somatic therapy where i put on a song that makes me feel feminine/sexy and just close my eyes and dance and let my body flow like water (great way to heal your feminine energy as well) - focussing on healthy foods and vegetables and reduce processed foods - Yoga especially hip tension release since a lot of trauma and emotion is stored in women's hips - leaving my phone downstairs when i sleep so i dont go on it when i wake up and before i sleep - cutting out coffee and having matcha instead but only 90min after i wake up and after breakfast - herbal teas - going for afternoon walks to the park while the sun sets - breath work, humming to trigger my parasympathetic nervous system - journaling hope this helps anyone out there! xx

I’m the biggest advocate for walking. It helps with thinking and giving yourself a break from listening to other people. Now, I can be able to feel confident and grounded in my body while I’m walking.

Been divorced for 6 years... the man sleeping next to me was definitely causing the cortisol spike. But now he only triggers it once or twice a year. Joys of co-parenting.

Clicked on this as soon as I read title of this video 😂

This video honestly makes me want to cry. It’s a reminder of how badly I’ve been treating myself. I’m addicted to stress. Even though I’ve been eating healthier and exercising, I haven’t seen the change I want because I’m chronically stressed. I’m going to pray about this, I need Jesus to help me get to a healthier state❤

What's helped me lately has been getting comfortable with being bored. When I started going to the gym I was really irritable on the treadmill because I had nothing to look at, nothing to do except walk and listen to my music. I went to the park and walked without music (never listen to music while walking in an open space like the park ladies, you will be kidnapped) and I finally got over the boredom thing. It felt kinda good to be bored. Head empty. I think meditation is similar. I'm now addicted to it and I swear it's helping me improve my life so much.

For all my fellow ADHD girlies. If ur brain is way too active to write in a journal, try video diaries or voice record. ❤

And that's why I'm a pilates princess 👸🏽 cause HIIT was killing thr weight but stressing me out

YUP!!!! YOU RIGHT!!!! And I hear supplementing with chamomile does wonders for lowering cortisol. But also just quality sleep. And financial stability. lol.

Being addicted to stress is the worst!

Yes totally agree on everything. All my year at past I did HIIT home workouts and also on calorie deficit which did not do any SHIT just made me puffy and bulked idk why but then i saw one video like a lowkey RU-vidr explaining the science of walking which really intrigued me and then gave it a shot. AS SOON AS 1 week I started to see changes on my bloating and my puffiness and I’ve never turned my back on it. MY body was meant for peace in any form and I’m glad I choose the path of peace physically, emotionally and mentally 🌱

Yes please make a video on how to get 10k steps easily! I struggle with this. Us desk job folks know it’s hard. I went from doing a job where I was walking all day, getting 15k a day, to a sedentary desk job and boom, I put in 60 lbs!!!

this title is everything

Not me watching this from my walking pad to hit my 10K AHHHH! 🎉 please drop the routine!

As an act of kindness I would like to tell you as a holistic health coach, you should be one, everything you share about wellness I fully support and approve of and my institute (IIN) love your Scorpio vibe, my mission is to embody it more ❣️

for digestive issues btw I suggest drinking kefir? but at the beginning you shouldn't drink a lot of it (like, maybe 1/3 or a large glass or 2/3 of a small glass). it really did wonders for my own personal digestion but since it's fermented i have to make sure i also don't be eating yoghurt or kimchi on the same day haha 😅definitely a staple in my diet though!

Bria, oh my goodness. I found your channel the other week, and it’s been so illuminating and so supportive. Like really truly helpful and coming from the exact right vibe of person. I’m so incredibly grateful for your content. But today, a cherry on top….when you were talking about stressful workouts with a trainer and yet nothing fits I’m like BROOOOOOO same. Ive been struggling so much post-pill, grief, major stress, gut health problems….ugh. It’s a fkn journey and it’s so comforting to listen to someone who’s recovered from something like that and it’s giving me so much hope. I’m just super grateful for your content and can’t wait for more of it. Thank you ♥️🙏

Ok this Title EATS 😂❤❤

bria you are so right but it´s toughhhhhh to stop stressing😭

Thank you universe for bringing me to you! I so resonate with you and love what youre sharing and your authenticity. Crying is also the body’s way of activating the rest, digest, restore parasympathetic part of the nervous system. The art and practice of listening and honoring the wisdom of our human bodies- thank you for your soulful sharing of insights ❣️🙏🏼✨

Confusing stress with progress SCREAMED at me! ❤‍🔥

I ticked so many of those symptom boxes. The not recognizing myself was jarring 😢. Such good information.

You can heal in a toxic environment if you implement internal and external boundaries while working on getting out of it. The end goal is to cut the toxicity but a transitional period is not a death sentence.

Your so right, I've been trying to get better at this lately. Saying No and removing myself from that which no longer serves me. Great Video ❤

lol @the journal part, to get my weekly laughs I’ll just be watching you 😌

starting off the week with mother b! oh this is a topic that is so timely bc im unknowingly stressed and I feel my cortisol levels are pretty high. I manage to limit my energy and presence around a toxic person in my current household and immediate family during the beginning of the year, and it has helped out a lot. I also stopped watching drama channels for years now and it is so helpful, really

I have an appointment in a couple weeks to talk with my doctor about all these hormone, gut, and cortisol issues that I have been experiencing for years. Hopefully, my doctor does not gaslight me anymore.

"The music is dark, the room is loud, and I can't think about anything but the burn."

Changing my diet was huge for me. Taking the sun daily and journaling are great to maintain our hormones levels healthy

It’s hot in AZ so I love to go to the mall and walk 10,000 steps and the bonus is window shopping 😂

Love it. #75Kclub Also had multiple phases of life where I had to mindfully de-tox certain parts of my habits to regain my peace. In addition to ALL the things you mentioned, vitamins and nutrition were also HUGE treatments for me. Everyone here is vitamin D deficient for example. And Vitamin D has huge correlation to depression and mind health. So addressing vitamin balances like that also greatly helps with cortisol balance.

You have literally become my fav podcast

Yes I let myself cry I don’t hold back anymore!!!

Solidcore coach here, it’s the best ☺️

Great episode i just started paying more attention at how my body feels around certain people and you nailed it

75k club 🫶🏽 watching you on a monday morning really be giving me motivation to better my life, appreciate you so much 😭💛

I needed this wake up call ❤️ found you two weeks ago and am soooo glad I did!

There is a shaking meditation which is AMAZING to release stress. Now that I think about it, I need to do that again 😅

75k club and yes to everything! Regulating your system is key

Probably one of the most helpful videos I have seen on YT in a while - Thank you girl

just saw your weight loss video and now this video is exactly what i need !!!! Cant wait to watch!

Your humor and personality are 👩‍🍳💋

Madfit has some low impact Pilates style workouts with 2 pound weights that humbled me, perfect for cortisol girls pair that with walking, good protein packed meals, and some meditation

I needed this video so much right now 💖

The title alone is 🔥 ❤❤😂😂

Great video, and a lot of important info in here but girl that title is everything 👌👌👌and yeah when your cortisol is out of whack or more broadly your whole HPA axis sooo many things can start to go wrong. For me though, it was addressing my gut health and nervous system that had the most positive effect on my cortisol levels (and hormones in general).

This was so wonderful to hear, so genuine and definitely something I needed to watch 🎉

this video was great, but it’s important to understand how menstrual cycles affect women. remember everyone is different and not everyone has the same response to a certain phase of their cycle. there’s studies done on this that indicate that any generalisation about how your cycle affects you is absolute bs. bottom line is listen to your body and how you’re feeling!

"You have a sick up your ass and it's bothering me" 😂😂😂 Sometimes I'm too serious. And I need a session on play and goofiness to loosen up.

#75KClub thank you on behalf of all the girlies who need this content and this energy you have!!

#75kclub this episode is so on time, dealing with this right now!

You're just so cool, Bria! I love your style so much and I totally feel like I connect with you! 🩶

Clicked on it as soon as I saw it❤ so excited to hear you talk about this subject

Thank you for this! My therapist was telling me to take a pause, and to slow the fuck down 🙃

The gaslighting part 🔥

Women with fibroids and other hormonal imbalances, this video is gold ! Lowering cortisol is key to healing. But I’m watching this as I literally wrote in my journal I want to love my life because I’m so unhappy in my job 🥲 I also have been on a joy journey and hanging at the park lol and dancing! Yes it’s a somatic release we do this in massage therapy as well. This is so good

The title is geniussss

Yesss please do a video on making 10k steps a day!!

I love love love your channel!! I laughed so much this video yet it was so educational and helpful. Thank you bestie Bri!!!

Right in time honey!

Thank God for this RU-vid channel! ❤

Bria the truth!!! Thank you so much for sharing 🤎

Unemployment is my source of str

This title was so creative, I had to click

Parking farther away from the store is a hack to get more steps in!

Good morning Bria how are you happy Monday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

For me it's giving this kindness ok, I got it, I agree 💯 but it's also important to talk about step 2. Step 2 is to not expect the same back. It's problematic for me. Do you also catch yourself with unfulfilled expectations when you give kindness (even when you do not think about receiving)?

Wow girl I can listen to you all day 😂

It’s Tuesday but watching.

This video was pretty helpful, thank you!
