Suzie is a great friend of mine. She is always learning about foods that speed up metabolism. She called me after brunch, today. She asked me if I knew anything about cortisol levels within the body. I replied, “No, are you learning something about it?”
Cortisol is a hormone in the body. When the body has unbalanced levels, metabolism does not work properly. She told me, “Cortisol in bad levels will bring your metabolism down.” I asked her how to balance these levels. She told me that eating the right foods and adding exercise will help with the balancing process.
