Cortisol — a.k.a. the "stress hormone" — is essential for maintaining energy and overall health. Yet when cortisol is out of balance, it can cause a cascade of concerning effects in our bodies, even leading to chronic health conditions. In this episode, Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN, joins us to explain how cortisol works in the body, signs it may be out of balance, and how managing stress can help bring hormones into balance and create a more resilient body.

This episode of Life Time Talks is part of our series on Performance and Longevity with MIORA.
