Cortisol Management Regimens

Meaning

Cortisol management regimens are structured, clinically-guided protocols designed to normalize or optimize the secretion and metabolism of cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, to restore HPA axis balance. These regimens are tailored to address specific patterns of dysfunction, such as chronically elevated, pathologically low, or severely dysregulated diurnal cortisol rhythms. A comprehensive regimen typically integrates targeted nutritional support, specific adaptogenic botanical compounds, strategic lifestyle modifications, and occasionally, pharmacological interventions to modulate the HPA axis. The goal is to mitigate the adverse effects of chronic stress on metabolic, immune, and reproductive health.
