How we recommend lowering cortisol after training 👇
- After your session, spend 5–10 minutes cooling down with an easy walk or bike to help your nervous system switch out of “fight or flight.”
- Refuel within an hour with carbs and protein (this is one of the fastest ways to bring stress hormones back down), hydrate properly and add electrolytes if you’ve sweated a lot, then take 2–5 minutes to slow your breathing.
- A short walk outside and some daylight helps you reset even quicker, and keeping the next hour low-stress (less rushing, less screens, less extra stimulants) sets you up for the real recovery win: quality sleep.
