Why “Lowering Your Cortisol” Is Terrible Advice

Get direct support from Dr. Ty: https://skool.com/drtyvincent Everyone in the wellness world keeps telling you cortisol is the enemy, that you need to lower it, calm it, shut it down. I’m here to tell you that’s not just wrong, it can be dangerous. Cortisol is one of the most vital hormones you have, and without it, you don’t survive. In this video I break down what cortisol actually does - how it keeps your blood sugar steady, your blood pressure up, and your mind sharp, and why so many of us are running on empty. I’ll walk you through the three stages of adrenal burnout, explain why your “normal” lab results can hide the real problem, and show you how I help people use cortisol as a tool to get their lives back. If you’ve been exhausted, wired-but-tired, crashing between meals, or told everything looks “fine” when you know it isn’t - this one’s for you. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 - The cortisol myth that’s hurting you 1:10 - The hormone you literally can’t live without 2:30 - How cortisol keeps your blood sugar (and brain) running 4:15 - What cortisol really does all day 5:40 - Too much vs. too little: the real danger zone 7:00 - Why modern stress is burning out your adrenals 8:20 - The 3 stages of adrenal burnout 11:20 - How I actually treat it: salt, hydrocortisone & using it as a tool 12:10 - Go deeper with me 📍 Want to learn more?
