Cortisol

Cortisol


Cortisol is often called the “stress hormone” because it helps your body respond to physical and emotional stress. It also supports important functions such as maintaining blood pressure, controlling blood sugar levels, and reducing inflammation. Abnormal cortisol levels may be linked to conditions such as adrenal disorders, chronic stress, fatigue, or hormonal imbalance.
