things that helped me: - eating in regards to my cycle (cycle syncing) - feminine embodiment practices, somatic therapy where i put on a song that makes me feel feminine/sexy and just close my eyes and dance and let my body flow like water (great way to heal your feminine energy as well) - focussing on healthy foods and vegetables and reduce processed foods - Yoga especially hip tension release since a lot of trauma and emotion is stored in women's hips - leaving my phone downstairs when i sleep so i dont go on it when i wake up and before i sleep - cutting out coffee and having matcha instead but only 90min after i wake up and after breakfast - herbal teas - going for afternoon walks to the park while the sun sets - breath work, humming to trigger my parasympathetic nervous system - journaling hope this helps anyone out there! xx
Been divorced for 6 years... the man sleeping next to me was definitely causing the cortisol spike. But now he only triggers it once or twice a year. Joys of co-parenting.
I’m the biggest advocate for walking. It helps with thinking and giving yourself a break from listening to other people. Now, I can be able to feel confident and grounded in my body while I’m walking.
Walking is amazing. I used think I walked a lot in the past, but when I got my high-energy german shepherd, the difference was HUGE. Of course at first it was hard, walking 2-3 hrs a day plus playing. But one and a half years later, walking this much every single day, has taught me so much about how important it is. It's good for your mind and body. You get time off to think (or not think) about stuff. Sometimes I dance and sometimes I cry and the woods take it all in equal stride. And don't get me started on what that does to your baseline endurance ...❤❤
This video honestly makes me want to cry. It’s a reminder of how badly I’ve been treating myself. I’m addicted to stress. Even though I’ve been eating healthier and exercising, I haven’t seen the change I want because I’m chronically stressed. I’m going to pray about this, I need Jesus to help me get to a healthier state❤
Girl, in THE most respectful way possible, YOU'VE GOT THIS with or without Jesus! I am not religious myself (well not in a traditional sense, more of a Mother Earth worshipper if you will) but it has never and will never stop me from pursuing better and better for myself and others! With or without him, you are sooo powerful and capable, anyone else by your side is only a bolster! 🫶
this is a great tip! i really kinda hate journaling in general though, what are some ways to motivate myself to record some voice memos as a form of journaling?
What's helped me lately has been getting comfortable with being bored. When I started going to the gym I was really irritable on the treadmill because I had nothing to look at, nothing to do except walk and listen to my music. I went to the park and walked without music (never listen to music while walking in an open space like the park ladies, you will be kidnapped) and I finally got over the boredom thing. It felt kinda good to be bored. Head empty. I think meditation is similar. I'm now addicted to it and I swear it's helping me improve my life so much.
YUP!!!! YOU RIGHT!!!! And I hear supplementing with chamomile does wonders for lowering cortisol. But also just quality sleep. And financial stability. lol.
Yes totally agree on everything. All my year at past I did HIIT home workouts and also on calorie deficit which did not do any SHIT just made me puffy and bulked idk why but then i saw one video like a lowkey TH-camr explaining the science of walking which really intrigued me and then gave it a shot. AS SOON AS 1 week I started to see changes on my bloating and my puffiness and I’ve never turned my back on it. MY body was meant for peace in any form and I’m glad I choose the path of peace physically, emotionally and mentally 🌱
wow i just started walking 2 days ago. i’ve been doing 2 miles and really enjoying it! i hope it brings my stress levels down & i definitely needed to get some extra steps in. u just gave me hope 😭
As an act of kindness I would like to tell you as a holistic health coach, you should be one, everything you share about wellness I fully support and approve of and my institute (IIN) love your Scorpio vibe, my mission is to embody it more ❣️
Yes please make a video on how to get 10k steps easily! I struggle with this. Us desk job folks know it’s hard. I went from doing a job where I was walking all day, getting 15k a day, to a sedentary desk job and boom, I put in 60 lbs!!!
Same. I can work from home two days a week fortunately and use a walking pad then and also walk to my desk job, but it’s still not the same 😪 I bought a small drinking bottle so I have to get up multiple times a day to refill to get enough water and go for a quick walk after having lunch
Bria, oh my goodness. I found your channel the other week, and it’s been so illuminating and so supportive. Like really truly helpful and coming from the exact right vibe of person. I’m so incredibly grateful for your content. But today, a cherry on top….when you were talking about stressful workouts with a trainer and yet nothing fits I’m like BROOOOOOO same. Ive been struggling so much post-pill, grief, major stress, gut health problems….ugh. It’s a fkn journey and it’s so comforting to listen to someone who’s recovered from something like that and it’s giving me so much hope. I’m just super grateful for your content and can’t wait for more of it. Thank you ♥️🙏
Thank you universe for bringing me to you! I so resonate with you and love what youre sharing and your authenticity. Crying is also the body’s way of activating the rest, digest, restore parasympathetic part of the nervous system. The art and practice of listening and honoring the wisdom of our human bodies- thank you for your soulful sharing of insights ❣️🙏🏼✨
for digestive issues btw I suggest drinking kefir? but at the beginning you shouldn't drink a lot of it (like, maybe 1/3 or a large glass or 2/3 of a small glass). it really did wonders for my own personal digestion but since it's fermented i have to make sure i also don't be eating yoghurt or kimchi on the same day haha 😅definitely a staple in my diet though!
You can heal in a toxic environment if you implement internal and external boundaries while working on getting out of it. The end goal is to cut the toxicity but a transitional period is not a death sentence.
starting off the week with mother b! oh this is a topic that is so timely bc im unknowingly stressed and I feel my cortisol levels are pretty high. I manage to limit my energy and presence around a toxic person in my current household and immediate family during the beginning of the year, and it has helped out a lot. I also stopped watching drama channels for years now and it is so helpful, really
I have an appointment in a couple weeks to talk with my doctor about all these hormone, gut, and cortisol issues that I have been experiencing for years. Hopefully, my doctor does not gaslight me anymore.
Love it. #75Kclub Also had multiple phases of life where I had to mindfully de-tox certain parts of my habits to regain my peace. In addition to ALL the things you mentioned, vitamins and nutrition were also HUGE treatments for me. Everyone here is vitamin D deficient for example. And Vitamin D has huge correlation to depression and mind health. So addressing vitamin balances like that also greatly helps with cortisol balance.
Great video, and a lot of important info in here but girl that title is everything 👌👌👌and yeah when your cortisol is out of whack or more broadly your whole HPA axis sooo many things can start to go wrong. For me though, it was addressing my gut health and nervous system that had the most positive effect on my cortisol levels (and hormones in general).
Madfit has some low impact Pilates style workouts with 2 pound weights that humbled me, perfect for cortisol girls pair that with walking, good protein packed meals, and some meditation
Women with fibroids and other hormonal imbalances, this video is gold ! Lowering cortisol is key to healing. But I’m watching this as I literally wrote in my journal I want to love my life because I’m so unhappy in my job 🥲 I also have been on a joy journey and hanging at the park lol and dancing! Yes it’s a somatic release we do this in massage therapy as well. This is so good
I needed this soooo badly...I've been told just recently minimally invasive surgery is not a valid long term option, but surgery scares me so bad so I've been trying to do research about holistic/natural ways to heal.
For me it's giving this kindness ok, I got it, I agree 💯 but it's also important to talk about step 2. Step 2 is to not expect the same back. It's problematic for me. Do you also catch yourself with unfulfilled expectations when you give kindness (even when you do not think about receiving)?
this video was great, but it’s important to understand how menstrual cycles affect women. remember everyone is different and not everyone has the same response to a certain phase of their cycle. there’s studies done on this that indicate that any generalisation about how your cycle affects you is absolute bs. bottom line is listen to your body and how you’re feeling!
I'm showing up to support 😘. #75Kclub
She really out here helping us helping her … love to see it … wish I could be it
I’m heeeeereeeeee 🙋🏿♀️
things that helped me:
- eating in regards to my cycle (cycle syncing)
- feminine embodiment practices, somatic therapy where i put on a song that makes me feel feminine/sexy and just close my eyes and dance and let my body flow like water (great way to heal your feminine energy as well)
- focussing on healthy foods and vegetables and reduce processed foods
- Yoga especially hip tension release since a lot of trauma and emotion is stored in women's hips
- leaving my phone downstairs when i sleep so i dont go on it when i wake up and before i sleep
- cutting out coffee and having matcha instead but only 90min after i wake up and after breakfast
- herbal teas
- going for afternoon walks to the park while the sun sets
- breath work, humming to trigger my parasympathetic nervous system
- journaling
hope this helps anyone out there! xx
You fkin angel ❤
I love your comment and like to add something that helped me with cortisol: Magnesium Oil on my feet before bedtime. It also helps with Insomnia.
This is so good. Thank you
I can’t do yoga I’m Christian but Pilates helps me ❤ love all these tips I will try them !! Also black tea ☕️ helped sooo much or matcha

And that's why I'm a pilates princess 👸🏽 cause HIIT was killing thr weight but stressing me out
Just started Pilates yesterday. I was doing cardio and Hitt for about 6 months. Excited for the change❤
I just do both I like HIIT workouts cause I like the feeling of the sweat dripping on my it makes me know I'm loosing weight😭😭
For all my fellow ADHD girlies. If ur brain is way too active to write in a journal, try video diaries or voice record. ❤
I do that too! Turn on your iPhone camera and talk into the void!
@@AliMeetsWorld yes! I process so many emotions when I use this method.
Oh, I naturally do this and felt lazy/shame for not physically writing. Thank you for sharing. I don't feel bad anymore 😅😅.
@@journeywithjasmine_ 😂 I went through the same thing. Then I was like “this is better than nothing” lol.

Going for a cozy mozy walk for lunch today- taking just 5 minutes to walk and let my brain level 💛

Financial stability will definitely help with the stress! Working on some debt right now!

You have literally become my fav podcast
bria you are so right but it´s toughhhhhh to stop stressing😭
I ticked so many of those symptom boxes. The not recognizing myself was jarring 😢. Such good information.
Your so right, I've been trying to get better at this lately. Saying No and removing myself from that which no longer serves me. Great Video ❤

This was so wonderful to hear, so genuine and definitely something I needed to watch 🎉
Solidcore coach here, it’s the best ☺️
Changing my diet was huge for me. Taking the sun daily and journaling are great to maintain our hormones levels healthy
I have an appointment in a couple weeks to talk with my doctor about all these hormone, gut, and cortisol issues that I have been experiencing for years. Hopefully, my doctor does not gaslight me anymore.
Yes I let myself cry I don’t hold back anymore!!!
