In this episode we discuss what is cortisol, what is the natural cortisol rhythm, what is not normal cortisol level; what contributes to cortisol imbalances, and how to help improve cortisol function. Cortisol is a stress response hormone that normally is present; typically higher in the morning to help us wake up and throughout the day it reduces; bringing cortisol levels lowest at night time, to help us to fall asleep.


We will discuss other reasons why cortisol will increase during stressful moments. Even modern day stressors which may not be life threatening can increase cortisol levels. You don’t want to miss this conversation. We will discuss a lot of the hormone cortisol.
