How hormones impact aging interview with Dawn Cutillo and WCPO ABC Cincinnati

Aging is a natural part of life, but did you know that hormone balance plays a key role in how quickly you age? According to Dawn Cutillo, author of The Hormone Shift, hormones like cortisol and insulin can accelerate aging when they become imbalanced. High stress, poor diet, and lifestyle choices can lead to hormonal disruptions, causing inflammation, weight gain, poor sleep, and mood swings—all of which contribute to premature aging.

Check out the full video interview with Dawn from WCPO ABC Cincinnati, OH.

How Hormonal Impact Aging

When stress levels are high, the body produces excess cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. Because the body can’t meet demand, it converts progesterone into cortisol, leaving estrogen unopposed. This hormonal imbalance can lead to:

  • Weight gain that won’t budge
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Disrupted sleep and low energy
  • Mood swings, anxiety, and brain fog
  • Worsened PMS and menopause symptoms

These internal imbalances can accelerate aging, making it harder for the body to repair and regenerate.
