Cortisol Modulation Strategies

Meaning

Cortisol modulation strategies are clinically applied techniques and protocols designed to precisely regulate the secretion and action of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, primarily produced by the adrenal glands. These strategies are implemented to correct patterns of chronic hyper- or hypo-cortisolemia, which can severely disrupt metabolism, immune function, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The therapeutic objective is to restore a healthy diurnal cortisol rhythm and mitigate the damaging effects of chronic stress on systemic health.
