Myths vs Facts: Cortisol
(Scroll to learn the truth.)
Cortisol is one of the most misunderstood hormones in modern wellness conversations.
It is often blamed for fatigue, weight gain, disrupted sleep, and stress-related symptoms — but cortisol itself is not “bad.”
Cortisol is essential for life.
It helps regulate key functions including:
• Blood sugar and metabolism
• Blood pressure
• Inflammation and immune response
• The body’s natural sleep–wake cycle
The real concern is not cortisol alone, but what happens when the body remains in a prolonged state of imbalance due to chronic stress, poor sleep, under-recovery, or inflammation.
This carousel breaks down common misconceptions and explains what cortisol is actually designed to do.
Healthy regulation, not suppression, is the goal.
