Is morning sluggishness holding you back?
Your cortisol levels could be the key!
Do you find it hard to shake off that morning sluggishness? It might be more than just needing an extra cup of coffee. When you wake up, your body is designed to experience a 50% increase in cortisol levels within the first 30 minutes—a vital process known as the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR). This surge in cortisol is what fuels your energy and prepares you for the day ahead.
However, chronic stress can disrupt this natural rhythm, leading to low energy levels, increased stress vulnerability, and negative impacts on digestion, immunity, metabolism, and even your menstrual cycle.
The good news? You can support your CAR and start each day feeling revitalised by optimising your morning routine. Prioritise consistent light exposure, engage in physical activity, nourish your body with the right nutrients, and manage stress effectively.
Transform your mornings and take control of your day—starting with the first 30 minutes!
