Most people feel stress from time to time, but healthy individuals do not carry stress day in and day out or it begins to take a toll on our health. When we adjust to holding stress and not managing it, we can end up with high cortisol levels which wreak havoc on our bodies both mentally and physically.

In today’s episode, Quinn shares about:

1. What cortisol is
2. What it does when it’s elevated
3. How to reduce it naturally in our daily life

Mind Renewal Tip:
We can fight off stress all at once but if we proactively do things to reduce it daily, we can slower make it disappear.

Scripture Renewal Tip:
“Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved” (Psalm 55:22)
