In light of COVID-19, people are awakening to the reality that the medical system simply cannot serve us all. It’s up to us to start taking control of our own health.

Poor health makes us more vulnerable to attack- whether by the Coronavirus or any other ailment. The answer is to optimize.

Three Takeaways

Pay attention to cortisol levelsSub-optimal hormones are a crisis, especially now. If we’re fear-driven and cortisol is affecting us, our hormones are sub-optimized and need to be addressed. To fix this, we have to understand what’s affecting our hormones.

Decompression is a necessityWith so many people isolated during the pandemic, home life stresses are beginning to take a toll on families, and often women in particular feel this more. Decompression and taking time for ourselves is not only advisable, it’s a necessity when trying to keep cortisol levels under control.

Embrace oxytocinIt’s possible to find a peace that surpasses all understanding, even during a pandemic. To find that peace, we need to embrace oxytocin.
