What is cortisol… and should you be worried? 🤔
Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone. That may sound scary, but it's actually essential for things like energy, metabolism, and keeping you alert.
The issue isn’t cortisol itself…it’s chronically high levels from ongoing stress, poor sleep, and burnout.
So no, cortisol isn’t “bad”- but balance matters.
Can you balance your cortisol with food or a supplement? No. But can you manage your sleep and stress via nutrition and food? Absolutely.
