About this episode
In this episode, we delve into the misconceptions surrounding cortisol, the so-called "stress hormone," and its relationship with weight gain, high-intensity workouts, and fasting. We aim to challenge the widespread belief that stress is always detrimental to our health by exploring how it can actually lead to improved body composition and resilience.
