ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you're eating well, exercising, and doing "all the right things" but still struggling with fatigue, stubborn weight, poor sleep, brain fog, or mood changes, cortisol may be part of the missing piece.
In this episode of the Synergee Podcast, Lori Esarey and Kelly Engelman sit down with endocrinologist Dr. Jay to explore the powerful connection between cortisol and blood sugar.
They discuss how chronic stress can raise glucose, contribute to insulin resistance, disrupt sleep and hormones, and affect metabolic health. You'll also learn what continuous glucose monitors can reveal, why blood sugar variability matters, how menopause and GLP-1 medications fit into the conversation, and why lasting change requires looking beyond food alone.
This episode will change the way you think about stress, blood sugar, and your body.
