Cortisol is often called the “stress hormone,” but its function goes far beyond stress alone. It
plays a critical role in energy regulation, immune function, metabolic balance, and your body’s
adaptation to daily stressors. When cortisol levels are chronically high or low, it can lead to
fatigue, weight shifts, mood changes, and hormone disruption.
What is Cortisol?
Cortisol helps your body respond to physical and emotional stress, regulate blood sugar,
support immune health, and manage inflammation. However, when cortisol production is out
of balance, those systems can falter, manifesting in symptoms you may already be
experiencing.
Symptoms of Cortisol Imbalance:
• Persistent fatigue or feeling drained even after restful sleep
• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
• Mood swings, anxiety, or low mood
• Brain fog, poor concentration
• Sleep disruption or difficulty waking
• Cravings, especially for sugar or salts
How Imbalance Happens / Contributing Factors:
Stress overload, poor sleep, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal shifts (especially in women),
chronic inflammation, and adrenal wear-and-tear can all play a part.
