What is Cortisol, and Why is it Important?

When experiencing stress, your body produces cortisol, a hormone. Your adrenal glands, located above your kidneys, create this hormone.

Cortisol helps your body handle emergencies. It gives you extra energy, raises blood sugar, and sharpens focus.

When you feel stressed all the time, though, your cortisol levels remain high, which can lead to physical and mental health problems . This can affect your nervous system and cause emotional trauma.

Here’s how too much cortisol affects your body:

  • You might feel anxious or depressed.

  • It can cause weight gain, especially around your belly.

  • Your sleep might deteriorate, leading to tiredness.

  • It weakens your immune system, making you more likely to get sick.

  • It may cause headaches or even migraines.

  • High cortisol can cause skin issues like acne and rashes.

Keeping cortisol balanced helps you stay healthy and feel your best.
