39:03Now PlayingMillions of people are looking into their phone cameras and wondering why their face suddenly appears puffier, rounder, or more tired. The internet calls it “cortisol face,” but the truth is more complicated: cortisol itself is essential for survival, and the real danger may be a stress rhythm that never properly switches off.
In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe explains how poor sleep, blood-sugar instability, fluid retention, chronic inflammation, emotional overload, and disrupted hormone signaling can all change what you see in the mirror—and why creams and cosmetic treatments may never address the underlying cause. Learn the practical correction protocol designed to help restore your natural hormone rhythm, reduce the visible signs of stress, and address the problem beneath the surface.
