The Role of Cortisol

Cortisol isn't entirely bad. It helps you wake up and responds to acute danger. But chronic stress keeps it elevated.

How to Lower It

  • Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep.
  • Meditation: Mindfulness and deep breathing can drastically lower cortisol.
  • Limit Caffeine: Excessive coffee can spike cortisol levels.
