Cortisol Curve Management

Meaning

Cortisol Curve Management is the clinical practice of monitoring and strategically intervening to optimize the diurnal rhythm of cortisol secretion from the adrenal glands. A healthy curve is characterized by a sharp rise shortly after waking (the Cortisol Awakening Response) followed by a gradual decline throughout the day, reaching its lowest point before sleep. Effective management is paramount for stress resilience, stable energy, and robust immune function.
