Cortisol Dysregulation Correction

Meaning

Cortisol Dysregulation Correction is the clinical process of normalizing an abnormal pattern or amplitude of cortisol secretion, aiming to restore the physiological integrity of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. This is not simply about addressing high or low cortisol, but rather the loss of the natural diurnal rhythm, which is a key indicator of chronic stress adaptation. Successful correction involves comprehensive strategies to re-establish homeostatic control over the body’s primary stress hormone. This intervention is critical because chronic cortisol imbalance profoundly impacts metabolism, immune function, and mental well-being.
