Cortisol Interference Mitigation

Meaning

Cortisol Interference Mitigation is the clinical and lifestyle strategy focused on reducing the detrimental, catabolic, and central adiposity-promoting effects of chronically elevated or poorly regulated cortisol signaling on the body. This approach recognizes that persistent psychological or physiological stress can lead to sustained glucocorticoid activity, which negatively impacts immune function, sleep quality, and body composition. Mitigation involves a multi-faceted plan to normalize the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis rhythm and minimize cortisol’s disruptive influence on other key hormones, such as thyroid and sex steroids. Achieving this balance is paramount for long-term health and hormonal stability.
