Cracking the Code: Understanding Cortisol for a Balanced Life

Meet cortisol, your body's stress messenger, orchestrating a daily symphony of highs and lows. Discover the natural ebb and flow of cortisol, known as the normal cortisol slope, with peak levels in the morning tapering off in the evening.

Quitting my demanding corporate IT job at a Customer Relationship Management company was a life-changing decision. Burnout pushed me to explore new horizons, leading me to culinary arts, functional nutrition, and sales training. Each step reignited my passion and guided me back to technology with a renewed purpose: to help others make a bigger impact. Now, I thrive in empowering service-based businesses to harness CRM technology to stand out, and build lasting, meaningful connections that drive sustainable growth.
