Adrenal Regulation

Cortisol

Cortisol is your primary stress hormone — but it's not just about stress. It helps regulate energy, blood sugar, inflammation, and even your circadian rhythm. You want it high in the morning to feel alert and motivated, then gradually taper down by night. Too high for too long? Burnout, belly fat, and poor sleep. Too low? Fatigue, brain fog, low motivation.
