220. Cortisol, Leptin, and Ghrelin: Why Your Hormones Are Sabotaging Your Health

Your body is sending you signals every moment of every day, but are you listening? In this episode, I’ll walk you through how these three hormones (cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin) dictate whether you wake up energised or exhausted, maintain focus or feel scattered, and recover quickly or stay stuck in chronic stress mode. Your hormones respond to your daily choices; make them work for you instead of against you.
