What is Cortisol?

 

This hormone, commonly referred to as the "stress hormone" plays an all-too-common role in the lives of both men and women. Triggered during periods of high stress when our body believes us to be in danger, this hormone is often present in excessively high levels. When this occurs, the result can be anything from high anxiety to weight gain and other unwanted side effects.

 

While some cortisol is necessary to produce and maintain energy levels, excessive production of the hormone by the adrenal glands can lead to a number of problems. Normal amounts can help regulate blood sugar and metabolism, reduce inflammation, and control the balance of salt and water and subsequently blood pressure. While this makes it crucial to the function of the body, higher amounts can be highly detrimental. Among other things, higher levels of the hormone can reduce the body's production of testosterone, a hormone that is crucial for healthy body function and mental health.
