Lowering Cortisol Levels

Written By Sara Dublin

Cortisol is our bodies main “stress hormone”.

- It helps to play a role in regulating our circadian rhythm, reducing inflammation, and controlling blood pressure

High cortisol causes a person to feel more “ on edge” affecting their concentration and causing brain fog. This stems from Chronic Stress which can lead to..

  • Anxiety and Depression

  • Irregular periods in females

  • Weakened immune system

  • Mood swings

  • Type 2 diabetes

    “And the list can go on”

    So how do we lower it?

  • Try relaxation techniques

  • Breathing exercises

  • Long walks

  • Journaling

  • Therapy

  • Spending time with friends and family that bring you joy

  • Taking Vitamins/supplements

  • Avoiding caffeine

  • More sleep

  • Exercising

  • Eating more whole foods and less inflammatory foods that will cause a leaky gut

“ Its all about consistency so staying consistent in lowering your cortisol levels will help you feel a difference”
