How to Rebuild from Deep Fatigue and Sleep Loss

In Podcast by

Cate talks to Jennifer Allen about her sleep issues. Jen is struggling with staying asleep throughout the night. Cate points out that her cortisol levels are waking her up at the wrong time and not waking her up at the right time. Jen knows she needs deeper sleep to maintain her busy daily lifestyle.

Cate mentions doing a hormone reset to change Jen’s balance from a cortisol stress hormone to a sex hormone balance. She recommends using hormones in combination with urine therapy as a way to create a feedback loop. The goal for Jen is to lower her cortisol levels to get her out of the fight or flight response.
