Cortisol. What is it. When should our bodies be releasing it. How much is too much. And what to do to help with chronic cortisol overproduction – in a nutshell.
I often get asked about ways to "lower cortisol". You have to remember that cortisol plays a very important role in our overall wellness. Case in point – the following is pulled straight from Cleveland clinic.org
Cortisol is an essential hormone that affects almost every organ and tissue in your body. It plays many important roles, including:
Regulating your body’s stress response.
Helping control your body’s use of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, or your metabolism.
Suppressing inflammation.
Regulating blood pressure.
Regulating blood sugar.
Helping control your sleep-wake cycle.
The key with cortisol is making sure your body is releasing it all the right time of day and managing chronic elevated cortisol levels. This video will help guide you on ways to take control of cortisol levels and here are some studies based on the things I mentioned in this video.
