In today’s fast-paced world, where women are expected to juggle work deadlines, family responsibilities, and the endless scroll of social media perfection, the toll on our bodies is undeniable. Beneath the surface, our hormones are waging a silent battle, often with cortisol—the stress hormone—acting as the unrelenting villain.
