In this episode of the Gutsy Chick podcast, we’re kicking off a brand-new series—and it all starts with three little letters that could change everything: SSS. Stress. Sugar. Sex. (Or in hormone speak: cortisol, insulin, and oxytocin.) These aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the foundation of your hormone health. I’ll break down how cortisol, insulin, and oxytocin are running the show behind the scenes, impacting everything from your energy and mood to your sleep and cycle.
If you’ve been feeling off and can’t quite figure out why, this is where we start. Tune in and let’s build the foundation your body’s been begging for.
In this Episode:
00:00 Introduction to the Three S's
01:01 Understanding Cortisol: The Stress Hormone
05:27 Exploring Insulin: The Blood Sugar Boss
08:17 The Role of Oxytocin: The Connection Regulator
12:24 The Interplay of the Three S's in Hormone Health
