If you're not your hottest, most glowing self, even though you're on a glow-up journey, feeling like you're doing everything correctly, you're doing all the routines, you're trying to eat healthy,

you're doing the workouts, you're doing your steps, and you're comparing yourself to other people, thinking, why am I not glowing like her?

Why is my skin not perfect?

Why am I not snatched?

Why am I still struggling with stomach fat?

Why am I struggling with bloating?

Why am I not feeling like myself?

I'm here to tell you, it's probably not your routine.

There's actually something bigger at play here, and it's your cortisol, and it's literally slowly ruining your glow up from inside out.

And in this video, I'm going to give you the seven signs

that your cortisol is too high and five actionable steps you can start doing today

so you can lower that cortisol and actually have a glow up that lasts.

By the end of the video, you're going to understand exactly what's going on in your body.

You're going to walk away with a very clear, simple plan of how you can actually start to fix it.

Hello guys, welcome back to my channel where we talk about the signs of becoming her, how you can become your dream self, your most glowing, hottest self from the inside out,

and actually sustain the glow up.

And if you're new here, welcome.

I'm Julia and I help women out of survival mode and into the hottest, glowiest, best era.

I'm a female nervous system coach.

I also specialize in somatics, female hormones, and feminine energy.

So I know a thing or two about getting you to your biggest glow up, getting you to reach your full potential.

I have been through such a glow up myself

and I am literally on a mission to help as many women as I can to be the hottest, most confident self.

Like I'm not stopping until I reach as many people as I can.

I have so many resources for you on my website from eBooks

that are going to help you

so much along your glow up journey to my feminine reset course that is coming so soon.

And I'm so excited.

You can sign up to be on the wait list on my website.

And I also work with my amazing clients one-to-one as well.

So if you are interested in working with me, everything is on my website, which I will link down below.

Oh, and I forgot to say, I also have a feminine reset newsletter so join

that it's completely free and every friday into your inbox you get some insane glarp tips

that you probably haven't heard about so don't forget to join

that newsletter again link down below so without further ado let's get into the video

so what even is cortisol and why is it

so important for your glarp so cortisol is actually your body's stress hormone

and i feel like cortisol gets a really bad rep

but it's actually a very essential hormone we need it we need

that hormone to wake us up in the morning we need it to give us energy

and to motivate us for the day.

And in a healthy body, that cortisol elevates in the morning

and it will naturally start to drop down during the day

so that your body can naturally unwind and have a restful night's sleep.

That is the rhythm that our bodies are designed to follow.

Now, the problem is most of us women these days are living in a state of chronic low-grade stress

and your body literally cannot tell the difference between a deadline and a lion trying to kill you.

We still have a very ancestral system in us

and our body still reacts to small things as if it's a huge catastrophe, as if it's literally life-threatening.

And it will keep pumping out that cortisol to try and protect you from that perceived threat.

And when that happens, when your cortisol is consistently elevated, it literally wrecks everything.

And here's the thing that most people won't tell you.

Cortisol doesn't just make you feel stressed, okay?

Elevated cortisol has an impact on your skin, on your hormones, on your gut, on your mood, on your cycle, literally on everything.

And honestly, I wish someone told me this at the start of my glove journey

because it would not have taken me years to feel like the best version of me.

That was the missing piece for me.

And we don't understand this as women.

We cannot handle stress as well as men do.

We are not primed and designed for it.

Men thrive on stress.

And for us women, stress literally ruins our glove.

It ruins us from the inside out.

And when I tell you I was that girl who spent thousands of pounds

and so much time and effort into all the supplements, the PTs, the diets.

Oh my gosh.

And I was hitting a wall every time.

I was not understanding why is nothing working for me?

Why am I lifting weights and I'm just puffy?

Why am I doing Pilates and not looking like a Pilates princess?

why am I eating so healthy

and I'm just inflamed I would literally take a sip of water

and be bloated I was like what is happening maybe it's just genetic honestly I got to

that conclusion at one point I was like well it's just

genetic I'm just not meant to look good maybe I should just stop there

and it wasn't until I fixed my cortisol

and my nervous system weight dropped without even trying no joke

inflammation gone gut problems gone skin the best skin I've ever had people ask me

oh my gosh do you do lasers

and facials I'm like no like I could use good skincare don't get me wrong

but I did back then too and everything is just working as it should

and until you understand this as a woman until you understand

that your relationship with your cortisol literally is detrimental to your

glow up to how good you feel you will not feel

like the best version of you it is physically physiologically biologically impossible for you to glow you need to understand

that cortisol is the culprit it's the missing piece of your glove

and we are just

so conditioned i think in this world to just rush we

live in a society where being busy overworked you know it's a sign of success it's a sign

that you're doing the correct things if you burn out and you're You're pushing your body to the hardest every single week, every single day.

That is how you will look good.

That is how you will succeed in life.

And for us women, it is not the same.

Okay?

This society is rigged.

It's rigged for women.

It's not for us.

We do not thrive like this.

We are trying to live like men.

100

I've said it in so many of my videos.

101

I sound like a broken record, but I will say it until I'm blue in the face.

102

You are not a man.

103

You cannot treat your body the same as a man.

104

When you understand this, you will glow up.

105

Okay, without any further ado, let's get into the seven signs that will show you that your cortisol is too high.

106

Okay, so number one, you feel like you're sleeping and you get pretty much enough sleep in, but you wake up exhausted,

107

even though with the amount of sleep that you're getting, let's say seven to eight hours, you should be rested.

108

Number two, you're wired but tired all the time You feel exhausted

109

because your life is busy

110

But at the same time you cannot switch off You feel physically tired

111

but mentally you cannot come down And this is one of the biggest signs

112

that your cortisol is dysregulated You have too much cortisol circling around in your body It means

113

that your nervous system is stuck in that overdrive Number three,

114

the most annoying one You have excess fat that you cannot get rid of especially around your stomach area.

115

Frustrating thing here is working out makes it harder.

116

The harder you work out, the more stress that you put into your body.

117

If you are trying to get rid of your stomach fat by excessively working out, you might notice that A, it won't budge and B,

118

it will actually slowly get worse because stress can come from all sorts of things, including high intensity workouts.

119

So if you are working out really intensely and you're not getting that stomach fat to budge,

120

It's because you're just adding more stress onto a body that is already stressed.

121

You're actually doing yourself a disservice.

122

You're doing the opposite.

123

If you're that person who eats healthy and you work out a lot, intense or not intense, and you just cannot budge that stomach fat, that is not a willpower problem

124

that it's not a diet problem it's not you know you're

125

not doing enough exercise problem it is a cortisol problem number four your skin is inflamed

126

or it's breaking out or it just generally feels a bit dull cortisol is actually inflammatory

127

and when it's consistently high it also breaks down your collagen it impairs your skin barrier

128

and on top of it it triggers that hormonal acne So I feel like when a woman is stressed, she looks so much older.

129

There are pictures that I look back on from two years ago when I was extremely stressed with my business.

130

And I look so much older than I do now.

131

And I was getting Botox back then and I'm getting Botox now.

132

There's no difference there.

133

But I just look old.

134

I look puffy and my skin had spots everywhere.

135

I was inflamed.

136

And again, I didn't understand.

137

I was using the right skincare nothing was working, cortisol 100% was the culprit.

138

So if you're

139

that girl who was using all the good skincare in the world for your appropriate skin type

140

and it's just not helping you, again it's a cortisol problem, no skincare will fix that, it's an inside job.

141

Number five, your cycle is irregular, your periods are painful and you struggle with PMS.

142

PMS, painful periods and irregular cycles, not normal okay I can tell you

143

that from someone who used to have the most irregular periods painful periods I'm actually currently on my period TMI

144

but we talk about all the girly things on this channel

145

and I'm thriving yes it's you know I can feel it it's there

146

but it doesn't stop me from doing my life I don't

147

get any PMS I don't get any painful period pains nothing

148

and that is how periods should be high cortisol actually suppresses your progesterone

149

which is your calming feminine hormone and

150

when progesterone drops you will get what we call estrogen dominance

151

which can result in those painful periods the bloating the pms

152

out of control it can actually also cause you having those

153

extreme mood swings like don't get me wrong we are irritable okay the week before our periods

154

and on our periods but you should not have intense mood swings

155

and really intense emotions that is actually a sign of

156

that cortisol wreaking havoc on your hormones and having an imbalance

157

and the wrong hormone actually being dominant in the part of the cycle

158

that it should not be dominant number six you are very irritable

159

and anxious for no reason if you find yourself snapping

160

and feeling very low and having anxiety over things

161

that don't logically make sense for you to be stressed over it means

162

that your nervous system is on high alert

163

because there is too much cortisol in your body your body is consistently preparing for something life-threatening

164

because of the way you're living your life and lastly you crave sugar

165

and carbs especially in the afternoon high cortisol actually makes your blood sugar unstable

166

and then your body will crave something that will give you instant fuel to compensate.

167

And we get a very quick and instant hit of energy when we eat sugary things.

168

So those are the seven biggest signs that you have a cortisol problem.

169

So now let's go into what actually lowers cortisol.

170

What can we do to stop this from happening and have that glow up?

171

Number one, you're gonna fix your morning before your hand even touches the phone, okay?

172

Your rule is you can press the alarm off

173

and then you do not touch that phone for the first 20 to 30 minutes after waking.

174

The first 20 minutes of your morning will set the tone of your cortisol for the entire day.

175

Cortisol peaks in the morning.

176

And if that cortisol is already elevated and you are rushing, you're doom scrolling, you're stressed with all the information and the emails coming through,

177

that cortisol will not come down and you will be in this low grade chronic stress all the time.

178

Just adopt a soft girl morning mindset during the week not

179

just on the weekends this needs to be every single day

180

that's it that's your morning rule no scrolling first thing

181

and take your time number two you're gonna swap any high

182

intensity workouts for low intensity you're gonna swap your hit training your sprinting

183

if you do that to walking pilates strength training okay that is the best combination if you want your body to thrive.

184

Women are not designed for consistent HIIT because it elevates your cortisol.

185

And if you are already stressed, like we said before, it's doing the complete opposite for you.

186

It doesn't matter how many calories you burn.

187

Stop looking at the calories that you burn at a workout.

188

The more calories doesn't mean better.

189

I keep all my exercise low intensity and I have never looked better.

190

Okay, number three, you're gonna eat within the first hour of waking

191

and you're gonna have 30 grams of protein for breakfast no

192

excuses you should not be intermittent fasting as a woman you

193

can for a bit of your cycle again it's all about your hormones

194

but if you're as a woman fasting for extended period of times you're not eating till lunch

195

and then you're having a coffee you are literally extending

196

that morning cortisol spike your body literally reads fasting as a

197

stressor number four extremely important do something every single day

198

that shows your nervous system that you are safe

199

so safety signals to the body can be anything from slow breathing to meditating to sitting down for five minutes

200

and doing nothing.

201

Anything that's slow, anything that's mindful, anything that puts you into the present moment, it's an amazing practice.

202

Again, I have a whole ebook that you can check out on this as well on my website.

203

And I have a couple of videos that talk more in depth about this.

204

And essentially what we want to do is activate that parasympathetic nervous system, the rest and digest where the cortisol will calm down and you can glow.

205

Some other great things you can do are things like putting cold water on your face, humming, taking a slow nature walk, even just eating slowly.

206

These are not woo-woo, they're just physiological somatic signs

207

and a lot of the time we are only taught to talk things through

208

and go to therapy and all the things to help with our stress levels, forgetting that the body is a very big part of our healing

209

and we need to take care of getting

210

that stress out of the body just as much as we take care of you know talking things through

211

and getting the stress out of our minds lastly you're going to protect your evenings like they are sacred okay

212

because they are we need to get

213

that beauty sleep your cortisol is supposed to be the lowest in the evening so

214

if you have bright lights tv on your doom scrolling you're

215

having stressful conversations you're doing your emails until 11 at night all these things signal to your body

216

that the day is not over.

217

So dim your lights, use your phone on night mode.

218

And one great thing I love to do to show my body the day has finished

219

and you need to unwind and actually sleep properly deeply is having a shower in the dark.

220

I know that sounds really weird.

221

I love showering in the dark.

222

I put a candle on, I put some music on, some nervous system music, and I really just unwind and calm down.

223

And I have the best sleep after I do that.

224

My five top tips, super easy, super simple not over complicated and you're actually doing less

225

and getting more results getting better results

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
