Episode 149 - Your guide to cortisol with Dr Monika Sharma

Social media is making a lot of noise about cortisol right now. But what exactly does this hormone do? How does it interact with other hormones in the body? What should someone with type 1 diabetes be aware of when it comes to cortisol?

Today I’m digging deep with the wonderful Dr Monika Sharma, whose sister’s experiences with type 1 diabetes prompted her to pursue a career in medicine. We’re bringing you the facts away from the social media noise to discuss what exactly cortisol is, why we need it, how to figure out if you’re interrupting its function, what you can do to regulate it, and whether a morning routine really matters. 

This is something Dr Monika has personally lived through, shifting her own lifestyle and work routine as a GP to achieve better health. So whether you’re feeling exhausted, stressed out and pulled in 100 different directions, or simply curious to learn more about hormonal health, this episode is for you.
