    Do This to Cut Cortisol by 43%, Relieve PTSD, & Rewire Your Nervous System - With Jessica Ortner
    May 4 2026
    Most people still believe that when stress hits, you should just “think positive” and push through—but your biology doesn’t work that way. When your brain’s alarm system gets triggered, your rational thinking literally goes offline. In this episode, we’re breaking down a powerful, science-backed way to work with your nervous system—not against it—to reduce stress, lower cortisol, and regain control of your mind and body. Our guest, Jessica Ortner, is a New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of The Tapping Solution, a global movement that’s helped millions of people reduce anxiety and trauma using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Her work is backed by hundreds of peer-reviewed studies and is now being researched at institutions like Yale, Harvard, and Columbia. Jessica brings both personal experience and cutting-edge science to help us understand how to truly rewire our stress response. In this conversation, you’re going to discover how tapping can reduce cortisol levels by up to 43%, help resolve PTSD symptoms, and transform the way your brain responds to stress triggers. We’re diving into the neuroscience behind anxiety, how your body stores trauma, and why you can’t think your way out of stress—but you can retrain your nervous system.
