Week of October 26th:
This week, we're teaching you how to calm your cortisol loop—so you can stop feeling tired but wired, stop snapping at loved ones, and finally settle at night.
This month in October, you've been building your morning protocol one week at a time. But if you're still struggling with anxiety, brain fog, irritability, or that exhausted yet-on-edge feeling—your cortisol is stuck in an agitated loop. And this Paradox Week makes it worse: the moon is getting brighter, and days are shrinking fast with daylight saving ending this weekend. Your body is getting conflicting signals and can't find its rhythm.
In this episode of Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi, integrative medicine physicians Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why your cortisol loop gets agitated—and how refining the Vagal Tone Practice from Week 1 calms it before the holidays overwhelm you.
Listen now to learn:
- The "washing machine" metaphor that explains what an agitated cortisol loop is
- Why "Paradox Week"—with its conflicting signals of brighter moonlight and shrinking daylight—keeps your cortisol loop agitated and your nervous system stuck in stress response mode
- How pairing morning light with a refined Vagal Tone Practice creates a powerful synergistic calming effect
- Why this practice completes your October morning protocol and protects your health through the peak of Fall and the busy holiday season
