"The Impact of Cortisol on Health and Stress Management"

Cortisol, known as the "stress hormone," plays a vital role in regulating various bodily functions, but imbalanced cortisol levels are rare despite claims of "adrenal fatigue" by some. Conditions like Cushing’s syndrome and Addison’s disease are associated with too much or too little cortisol, but are considered rare disorders.

Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, meditation, and enough sleep can help manage stress and prevent various health conditions often mistaken for cortisol issues.
