Cortisol often gets labeled the "stress hormone," but it's more than just a marker of a busy day.
It plays a vital role in energy regulation, blood sugar balance, immune response, inflammation, and circadian rhythm. However, when cortisol stays elevated over time—due to chronic stress, poor sleep, inflammation, or metabolic dysfunction—its impact can ripple throughout the body, disrupting nearly every major system.
Cortisol is not inherently bad, in fact, we need it to function. But in today’s demanding world, many people are living in a constant state of stress without realizing the toll it takes. Because the signs of cortisol imbalance often masquerade as "normal aging," they are frequently dismissed or overlooked.
By understanding how cortisol presents itself and how it interacts with other hormones, we can help patients reclaim their energy, mood, metabolism, and overall wellbeing through a functional, root-cause approach.
If you're feeling off and suspect stress is playing a role, reach out to explore how we can support your hormone health from the inside out.
