Cortisol Dominance Reversal

Meaning

Cortisol Dominance Reversal is a therapeutic strategy aimed at mitigating the chronic, adverse physiological effects of persistently elevated cortisol levels, often resulting from prolonged stress or HPA axis dysregulation. This state, characterized by catabolic effects and suppressed anabolic processes, is detrimental to metabolic and reproductive health. The reversal process focuses on restoring a healthy diurnal cortisol rhythm and re-establishing an optimal balance with other key hormones, such as DHEA, testosterone, and progesterone. Achieving this reversal is crucial for improving sleep quality, managing visceral fat accumulation, and supporting immune function.
