Do this to lower cortisol (Cortisol and sleep connection)
Cortisol is a stimulating, alerting hormone. It’s the body’s primary stress hormone and it plays a major role in regulating sleep and other important physiological functions.
When cortisol is elevated too frequently and over long periods of time it can cause a number of health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. It can also lead to things like weight gain, fatigue, and mood disorders.
Join sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus as he gives some tips and tricks for lowering — and managing — your cortisol levels.
