Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Cortisol Face. People online seem to have an opinion on that puffy, rounded, rosy-cheeked look, and stress is always the villain in the story. But is stress really the culprit, or has the internet gotten this one twisted? Jenn digs into what cortisol does in the body, why it isn't the same as the corticosteroids that show up in medications. What is really behind that fuller-faced appearance so many people quickly blame on a bad week? There is real medical language for this look, real conditions connected to it, and a few surprising everyday habits that could be playing a bigger role than anyone expects. So is cortisol face real, or just another wellness buzzword? Tune in to find out what Jenn has to say before you believe the next viral claim. Like what you're hearing?
