🎙️CORTISOL ♿️

Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that plays an important role in how the body responds to stress.

It helps regulate blood sugar, blood pressure, metabolism, inflammation, and the sleep-wake cycle.

When cortisol levels remain too high or too low for extended periods, they may contribute to fatigue, sleep problems, mood changes, weight changes, and difficulty managing stress. Learning about cortisol can help you better understand your body and the importance of rest, healthy habits, and stress management.
