Managing cortisol levels and balancing the HPA axis are key for establishing a healthy stress response.*
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis helps maintain hormonal homeostasis during times of stress. Cortisol is produced by the adrenal cortex and plays an important role in regulating energy metabolism, heart rate, appetite, and immune function. Because of its central role as a key stress hormone, cortisol is often thought of as a bridge between stress and its health impact. Typically, cortisol follows a circadian rhythm, peaking in the morning with a gradual decline throughout the day. However, during times of stress, cortisol is continuously produced and can impact whole-body wellness.
