It's often called the "stress hormone," but cortisol is first and foremost a valuable ally. It helps you get up, react, and mobilize your energy. When it remains elevated for too long, your body can send you subtle signals that deserve attention.<\/p>\n
Produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol plays a key role in regulating metabolism, blood pressure, blood sugar, and the stress response. Occasionally, an increase in cortisol is perfectly normal: it allows you to cope, act, and adapt.<\/p>\n
Naturally, its level follows a circadian rhythm: higher in the morning to promote wakefulness, it gradually decreases in the evening to allow for rest. An imbalance occurs when it remains chronically elevated, often linked to prolonged stress. More rarely, a condition such as Cushing's syndrome may be the cause. In these situations, your body may exhibit changes that are sometimes subtle, but very real. <\/p>\n
