If you’ve ever wondered whether walking “counts”…this episode will change the way you see movement forever.
Because walking isn’t just steps.
It’s physiology... hormone regulation...and nervous system healing.
And for so many women over 35, it’s the missing rhythm their bodies have been begging for.
In today’s episode, we unpack why walking is one of the simplest and most effective tools for supporting:
- Adrenal recovery & cortisol balance
- Blood sugar regulation & insulin sensitivity
- Thyroid function & metabolic health
- Estrogen clearance & inflammation reduction
- Nervous system calm, stress relief, and deeper sleep
You’ll also hear a piece of my personal story and how walking became a lifeline in my season of adrenal exhaustion…and how it played a role in my healing after nearly a decade of infertility.
Whether you’re an athlete who struggles to slow down, a high-achieving woman running on empty, or someone who wants to support your hormones without adding more intensity…this episode will meet you right where you are.
Walking isn’t about doing less.
It’s about helping your body feel safe again.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- Why walking is a cortisol modulator
- How walking after meals can lower blood sugar by up to 30%
- The connection between walking and thyroid hormone activation
- Why fat loss becomes easier when your body feels safe
