One of the most common symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome is a “moon face.” Cushing’s syndrome is characterized by high levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

Chronic high cortisol over a period of time can cause fat face syndrome. It can also be caused by the drug Prednisone.

Cortisol can redistribute fat to different parts of the body, causing you to store fat in the face and the midsection. Over time, it can cause a hump on the back, red cheeks, thinner legs, and weak muscles in the legs and buttocks.

Your cholesterol and lipids may rise, and you’ll start losing potassium and retaining sodium. This sends your blood pressure straight up, vitamin D levels decrease, and your immune system suffers.

Cortisol indirectly causes a puffy face by breaking down protein and turning it into glucose. This spikes insulin, a fat-storing hormone. In the presence of too much insulin, you won't be able to lose fat.

Carbohydrates, frequent eating, seed oils, nutrient deficiencies, stress, overexercising, and certain medications also trigger insulin.

Try these 5 tips to reshape your face.

1. Eat less frequently
Cut out the snacks between the meals and do intermittent fasting. This forces your body to use body fat as fuel between meals.

2. Change your diet
Cut down your carb intake, specifically avoiding sugar and starch. Print my card cutout that shows you the ingredients to avoid!

3. Increase protein
Look for high-quality grass-fed meat such as beef, lamb, or goat.

4. Lower stress levels
Go for long walks, exercise, and do physical work. Avoid excessive phone use.

5. Try to get extra sleep
Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Even if you wake up early, try to go back to sleep if possible!
