Chronic Stress, High Cortisol, and Spiritual Warfare | Why Your Health Struggles Are Bigger Than Science with Tori Jensen

Chronic Stress, High Cortisol, and Spiritual Warfare | Why Your Health Struggles Are Bigger Than Science with Tori Jensen

You have tried everything.

The diets. The supplements. The advice from every wellness account on your feed.

And it still feels impossible to actually get healthy and stay healthy.

There is a reason for that. And it is bigger than science.

In this episode of the Cortisol Coach Podcast, Christine Marie sits down with Tori Jensen, a registered dietitian and registered nurse with 15 years of clinical experience for a conversation that goes straight to the hill Christine says she will die on. Chronic stress and high cortisol in women's bodies right now is not just physical. It is spiritual warfare.

Tori knows this firsthand. A lifelong athlete and former collegiate soccer player, she built a career in nursing and nutrition before COVID reshaped everything about how she saw her work and her faith. When the vaccine mandate came down in California, she felt God make it unmistakably clear that it was not for her and she stood on that conviction even when it cost her job.

What followed was not bitterness. It was boldness. Tori shares how surrendering areas of her life she never expected to surrender opened a clarity and a peace she had not known before and how that same obedience is available to every woman listening.

This episode will encourage you to believe there is so much more available to you than what feels possible right now.
