Ep 7 | STRESS, CORTISOL AND OVERTRAINING

Hailey and Brinley break down stress from every angle: physiological, psychological, and emotional. We unpack what cortisol really is, why it’s not the villain the internet makes it out to be, and how it actually helps you adapt, perform, and survive. From training stress and recovery to overtraining and lifestyle overload, this episode helps you understand when stress builds you up – and when it starts breaking you down.
If you’ve ever felt burnt out, stuck in your progress, or confused about “high cortisol,” this one will help you separate science from fear-based fitness advice.
