Beat Stress Naturally: Simple Techniques to Lower Cortisol

Stress and Cortisol: Simple Techniques for Relief Millions struggle with stress, often leading to health issues. A recent video by Bernard Kizer, a specialist in women's hormones, offers creative solutions. Using animation, Kizer personifies cortisol, explaining its role in stress response. The video highlights three key techniques: humming 'Om' to activate the vagal nerve, box breathing (4-4-4-4) to regulate the sympathetic nervous system, and Yoga Nidra for hormonal balance and energy restoration. "The video shows that cortisol isn't the enemy; it's a defense mechanism," says Kizer. The video also suggests vagal nerve stimulation via a headband as a technological option. This approach makes complex biological processes easily understandable, empowering individuals to manage their stress effectively.
