And so, you know, I read a little bit to the audience about your background, but what happened in your life that led you to focus specifically on the topic for today on the topic of cortisol and hormone health and women in midlife?

So I will start with what you just said.

I had always been an athlete and I had constantly been doing high impact activities, being in the college team and playing to the state level.

And just even continuing to doing my workouts and cross fits after having two kids, just so I could shed that extra weight because I was almost 185 pounds when I delivered my second child and I wanted to get back in shape.

So that stress was a lot on me.

And I thought the best way to do it was doing what I always did.

apparently the body had shifted, which I didn't realize.

signs or misconceptions in like the wellness space that you could see that are ways that we're handling our cortisol that are not really ways that are helping us at all?
