Stress, Focus & Cortisol | Evans Farm Wellness Series

Chronic Stress Can Cause Lasting Damage. We Often Don’t Recognize It Until It Shows UpUnexpectedly.

Dr. Marguerite Weston and Colleen Bush, RDN, join forces for an honest conversation about cortisol, what it’s quietly doing to your body and what you can actually do to take control of it.

Everything That We’ll Cover

• Why cortisol dysregulation affects far more than stress levels, including: sleep, weight and immune function
• The connection between chronic stress and gut health, hormonal balance and cognitive performance
• How to identify your personal stress patterns and what they’re signaling
• What “adrenal fatigue” actually means and when it warrants a closer look
• Evidence-based interventions that actually work, from nutrition fixes and lifestyle changes to targeted functional medicine approaches
