概要

The Cortisol Coach Podcast is for Christian women over 40 dealing with high cortisol symptoms, perimenopause, menopause, hormone imbalance, and chronic stress.


Exhausted, gaining weight, losing your hair, or stuck with brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep, low libido, and weight loss resistance, and nobody can tell you why?

Every week I sit down with doctors, hormone experts, mental health experts, and faith coaches to talk about perimenopause symptoms, menopause symptoms, adrenal fatigue, thyroid health, gut health, fight or flight, and nervous system healing, and how to heal your body, mind, and spirit.

I'm Christine Marie, a certified Biblical Mindset Coach and the Cortisol Coach. I spent 8 years being misdiagnosed and having multiple surgeries before I found out high cortisol and chronic stress were at the root of it all. Now I help women connect the dots so they don't have to walk the road I walked.

New episodes every week. Faith forward. Expert driven. Christian wellness for women who are done settling for half answers. Follow the Cortisol Coach Podcast so you never miss an episode.

  • Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Gut Health | Dane Johnson on Chronic Stress, Cortisol and Healing Your Body
    2026/11/05
    Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Gut Health | Dane Johnson on Chronic Stress, Cortisol and Healing Your Body Apply to be a guest on the Cortisol Coach Podcast: https://podcast.itschristinemarie.com Find Christine's Favorite Supplements: https://itschristinemarie.com You are exhausted, your digestion is unpredictable, and you feel like your body is working against you. You've tried changing your diet, taking supplements, and searching for answers, but you still don't understand why you don't feel like yourself. And somewhere along the way, you've started wondering if you're ever going to feel better. What if there isn't just one thing contributing to how you feel? What if understanding your gut health, chronic stress, cortisol, and nervous system could help you start looking at your health differently? This episode is going to challenge the way you think about healing your body. In this episode of the Cortisol Coach Podcast, Christine Marie sits down with Dane Johnson, Board Certified Functional Nutritionist and founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle. At just 26 years old, Dane was fighting for his life after years of battling severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. He had lost 60 pounds, was experiencing up to 30 bloody bowel movements a day, and was facing the possibility of having his colon removed. Today, Dane is in remission and has dedicated more than a decade to helping people navigate Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, and ongoing digestive health challenges. Through Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, he developed the SHIELD Method, an approach that considers supplements, herbs, imagination, exercise, lifestyle, and diet as part of an individualized plan. What makes this conversation so powerful is that Dane doesn't just share what happened to him. He explains how his experience changed the way he thinks about the body and why he believes there are often multiple contributing factors behind ongoing health struggles. He talks about the relationship between gut health, chronic stress, cortisol, and the nervous system. He also discusses digestion, the microbiome, environmental exposures, and why he believes looking beyond individual symptoms is so important when you're trying to understand what's happening in your body. And this is where the conversation becomes especially personal. Christine shares her own experience with IBS, chronic migraines, and years of struggling to understand why she felt the way she did. Together, they discuss what it's like to keep searching for answers when you're exhausted from trying to figure everything out. One of the most meaningful parts of this episode is Dane's experience with faith. He opens up about the role prayer and surrender played in his journey and how his relationship with God began changing the way he approached his health and his life. Dane also explains why he doesn't believe there's one magic supplement, one perfect diet, or one approach that works for everyone. Instead, he talks about creating a personalized daily blueprint and learning which habits are helping you and which ones may be making things harder. His story is a reminder of just how much can change when you begin asking different questions, taking an active role in your health, and refusing to believe that your most difficult season has to be the end of your story. Whether you're navigating Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, chronic stress, exhaustion, or ongoing digestive issues, this conversation will give you a different perspective on what it means to rebuild your health. And perhaps most importantly, it's a conversation about faith, perseverance, and finding hope when you need it most. In this episode you will hear: How Dane Johnson went from a successful acting and modeling career to fighting for his life with severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis What happened during his hospitalization, the treatments he experienced, and how he eventually reached remission Why Dane believes there is rarely just one contributing factor behind chronic digestive health challenges How chronic stress, cortisol, and the nervous system may influence gut health and digestion Why Dane looks at the microbiome, environmental exposures, digestion, and daily lifestyle habits when working with clients What the SHIELD Method stands for and how Dane approaches supplements, herbs, imagination, exercise, lifestyle, and diet Why there is no single diet, supplement, or daily routine that works for everyone How to begin creating a personalized daily blueprint when you're overwhelmed and don't know where to start How Christine's personal experience with IBS and chronic migraines connects to the conversation about gut health and chronic stress The role faith, prayer, surrender, and mindset played in Dane's personal journey Why Dane believes some of the most difficult experiences in life can lead us toward a greater purpose Connect with Dane Johnson: Website: https://...

  • Chronic Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Inflammation | Why Autoimmune Disease Is on the Rise in Women Over 40 with Dr. Leland Stillman
    2026/10/12
    Chronic Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Inflammation | Why Autoimmune Disease Is on the Rise in Women Over 40 with Dr. Leland Stillman Apply to be a guest on the Cortisol Coach Podcast: https://podcast.itschristinemarie.com Find Christine's Favorite Supplements: https://itschristinemarie.com You are exhausted, your brain is foggy, and your body feels like it is working against you — but nobody can tell you why. Your labs come back normal. Your doctor says you are fine. And yet you know something is deeply wrong. Friend, you are not imagining it. You are not broken. And you are not alone. Research now shows that women are nearly three times more likely than men to develop an autoimmune condition and the numbers are rising every year. This episode is going to tell you why. In this episode of the Cortisol Coach Podcast, Christine Marie sits down with Dr. Leland Stillman, a physician specializing in integrative and functional medicine who earned his medical degree from the University of Virginia and completed his residency at Maine Medical Center before walking away from conventional medicine entirely. Not because he gave up on medicine, but because he refused to give up on his patients. He built his entire practice around one question. What is actually causing this? Today he works with patients around the world helping them reverse chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, brain fog, and metabolic dysfunction — the kind of chronic illness that conventional medicine keeps calling normal. He is also the author of the brand new book The End of Autoimmunity, which explains why autoimmune disease is on the rise in our generation and gives women a real, practical framework for restoring their health naturally. What makes this conversation so powerful is that Dr. Stillman connects the dots between chronic stress, cortisol, inflammation, environmental toxins, and nutrient deficiencies to explain why so many women over 40 are watching their health decline despite doing everything right. He also explains what happens when your body simply does not have the bandwidth to heal itself, when your brain fog is so severe that you cannot think clearly enough to even figure out what is wrong. He has a name for that, a reason for it, and most importantly a path out of it. One of the most memorable moments in this episode is when Dr. Stillman describes a patient who used to make a to-do list and only ever finish the first item. After working with Dr. Stillman he started finishing everything. That is what healing bandwidth looks like in real life. And that is what is possible for you too. Your symptoms are not in your head. They are signals. And this episode is going to help you finally listen to them. In this episode you will hear: Why autoimmune disease is on the rise and what is actually driving it in women over 40 How chronic stress and cortisol accelerate autoimmune disease, inflammation, and metabolic breakdown Why conventional labs miss so much of what is actually happening in your body What root cause medicine looks like and how Dr. Stillman approaches a new patient How nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins, and light exposure affect your immune system and hormones Why brain fog and overwhelm may be a bandwidth problem and not a character flaw How giving your body the right inputs restores your capacity to heal, think clearly, and solve problems What The End of Autoimmunity covers and why Dr. Stillman wrote it for women like you Get the Book — The End of Autoimmunity by Dr. Leland Stillman: Use code CORTISOLCOACH for 10% off your order.

  • Why Weight Loss Gets Harder After 40: Cortisol, Perimenopause, Menopause and Health Debt with Bria Gadd
    2026/09/21
    Why Weight Loss Gets Harder After 40: Cortisol, Perimenopause, Menopause and Health Debt with Bria Gadd You are doing all the same things that used to work. Same effort. Same discipline. Completely different results. Your leggings are tighter. Your sleep is a mess. Your anxiety is higher than it has been in years. And you are so exhausted that your kids notice. And you have been told to just try harder. Friend, trying harder is not the answer. And this episode is going to tell you why. In this episode of the Cortisol Coach Podcast, Christine Marie sits down with Bria Gadd, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, holistic health coach, certified personal trainer, and host of the top 1% wellness podcast The Period Whisperer. Bria spent over 15 years in the fitness and nutrition world helping women lose weight and get their energy back. Then at 37 she hit the same wall her clients were hitting. Same effort. Totally different outcome. Instead of telling herself to just try harder, she went and built an actual strategy for what the female body needs in perimenopause and menopause. She has been featured on Fox News and Women's Health, and today she is bringing one of the most important concepts you have never heard to this show. Health debt. Health debt is what happens when the energy demand being placed on your body becomes greater than the energy supply your body has available. And for women in perimenopause and menopause, that gap is widening every single day without most of us even realizing it. This episode also holds one of the most personal moments Christine has shared on this show. Her daughter recently told her that all she remembered about her growing up was how tired she always was. If you have children still at home or even if yours are grown you are going to feel that one. Because choosing to take care of yourself is not selfish. It is the most generous thing you can do for the people who need you most. Be more in your life. Not just less on a scale. In this episode you will hear: What health debt is and how to know if your body is in it Why weight loss gets harder after 40 and what is actually happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause How cortisol, sleep, hormones, and metabolism are all connected Why eating less and exercising harder can make everything worse when your body is already overwhelmed How eating consistently supports your hormones and energy levels Why walking and restorative movement can be more powerful than intense workouts right now What functional lab testing reveals that standard labs miss Why rest, pleasure, connection, and purpose are not luxuries they are medicine When your body is actually ready for strength training and building muscle How investing in your health changes your marriage, your motherhood, and what your children believe is normal Your body is not working against you. It is trying to protect you with the energy it has available.
