Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or caught in a sugar craving spiral? It might not be your diet—it might be your kitchen counter. 😅 In this powerful episode, Adrienne dives into how clutter in your environment impacts cortisol levels—and why that stress hormone has a direct effect on your blood sugar, energy, and even weight.

You’ll learn:

  • The neuroscience behind clutter and stress 🧠
  • How elevated cortisol messes with your metabolism
  • Why your body interprets a messy home as a threat
  • Three super simple clutter-busting routines you can start today (in 15 minutes or less!)
  • How God’s design for peace and order in your home can support your health and your heart 💛

Scripture Reference:
 1 Corinthians 14:33 – “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.”

This is not about perfection. It’s about progress, peace, and reclaiming your space for the glory of God and the good of your health.
