Puffy face. Facial bloating. A fuller-looking face that seems to appear out of nowhere. You may have heard it called “cortisol face”—and you may also have been told that the solution is to detox cortisol. But here’s the problem: cortisol isn’t the enemy. Cortisol is a vital hormone that helps regulate your blood sugar, blood pressure, metabolism, immune response, and your body’s reaction to stress. So if your face is looking puffy or swollen, simply trying to “detox” cortisol may be completely missing the bigger picture. In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I’m breaking down what may actually be behind a puffy face, how chronic stress can affect your body, and why your hormones need balance—not a cortisol cleanse. Before you buy another cortisol detox product, listen to this first. Your body doesn’t need you to fight cortisol—it needs you to understand why your cortisol may be elevated or dysregulated in the first place. Listen until the end to find out what you should be focusing on instead.
