Let’s talk about cortisol 🤍

This is one of the most important and most misunderstood hormones I check in my patients

Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone
It is made by your adrenal glands and helps control

Energy
Metabolism
Blood sugar
Inflammation
Your sleep and wake cycle

In simple terms cortisol is what helps you wake up in the morning and handle life throughout the day

✨ Why checking cortisol matters

So many people are told they are just tired or stressed

But cortisol gives us real answers

If your cortisol is off it can affect everything from your energy to your weight to your hormones

✨ What it means if cortisol is LOW

You may feel
Constantly exhausted
Drained even after sleeping
Brain fog
Overwhelmed easily
Like you are running on empty

This is often what we see in burnout

✨ What it means if cortisol is HIGH

You may feel
Anxious
Wired but tired
Trouble sleeping
Weight gain especially in the midsection
Blood sugar swings

✨ Timing matters

Cortisol follows a natural rhythm

It should be highest in the morning
Then slowly decrease throughout the day

The best time to check cortisol is around 8 AM

If it is checked later in the day it has to be interpreted differently

✨ What is a cosyntropin test

This is a more advanced test used when we need to look deeper at adrenal function

It involves giving a medication that stimulates your adrenal glands
Then checking how your cortisol responds

This tells us if your body is able to respond to stress the way it should

✨ Why this matters

If your cortisol is not functioning properly you will not feel your best no matter how hard you try

You cannot outwork or out push a hormone imbalance

At River Cities Medspa we do not guess
We test
We find the root cause

If you feel exhausted overwhelmed or just not like yourself it may be time to look deeper 🤍

Who’s with me?? Hopefully my struggle can help someone else too…

Happy Thursday! The weekends aren’t quite weekends for us. No rest. I’m tired. We have 14-16 balllgames this week and weekend. I’m irritable. Swimmy headed. I feel exhausted yet I can’t get uninterrupted sleep. Medicines to help with sleep make me groggy.

So here’s what I’m dealing with
Acute exhaustion + sleep disruption. (Sometimes worsened by dehydration, low iron, low B12, or stress hormones being high)

❓Why do I feel this bad (in plain terms)?

* Poor sleep → cortisol spikes → wired but exhausted
* Constant output (kids/work/hosting/house projects/chores) → nervous system overload, burnout waving the flag 🚩
* Even good habits (exercise/clean eating) can backfire short-term if you’re depleted

👉 So right now, the goal is STABILIZE, not optimize

🔥 What will actually help THIS week

1. Stop chasing perfect sleep—aim for “functional rest”

Instead of meds that leave you groggy:

* Try Magnesium glycinate (200–400 mg at night)
* helps relax your nervous system
* less hangover effect
* Consider Melatonin low dose only (0.5–1 mg)
* higher doses = grogginess

👉 Skip heavy sleep meds right now—they’re likely why you feel worse the next day

2. Hydration is not optional (this is huge for “swimmy head”)

IV helped yesterday—but I need consistency:

* Add electrolytes daily (not just water)
* Think: sodium + potassium, not just plain fluids

👉 Even mild dehydration = dizziness + fatigue

3. Eat for energy, not “clean eating perfection”

Right now:

* You need fuel, not restriction

Focus on:

* protein + carbs together (every meal/snack)
* examples:
* eggs + toast
* chicken + rice (Mexican is on my to do list)
* yogurt + fruit

👉 Low carb + stress = worse fatigue + irritability

4. Cut back exercise temporarily

This is important:

* Skip intense workouts this week
* Do light movement only (walks, stretching)

👉 Your body is already in a stress state—don’t add more

5. Micro-resets during the day (this works fast)

Between games or chaos:

* Sit in your car, close your eyes for 5 minutes
* Slow breathing: in 4 sec / out 6 sec

It sounds small—but it calms your nervous system quickly

6. Caffeine strategy (don’t overdo it)

* Small amounts early = helpful
* Too much = worsens anxiety + crash

👉 Try: coffee in the morning + maybe green tea later
👉 Avoid caffeine after 2–3 pm

💛 What I want you to do tonight

Keep it simple:

* Eat something with protein + carbs
* Drink electrolytes
* Take magnesium
* Go to bed without pressure to “sleep perfectly”

We aren’t failing, we are OVERLOADED! I’m going to check some labs, listen to music, and focus on self care.

We’ve got this!
