Cortisol Regulation Strategy

Meaning

A Cortisol Regulation Strategy is a targeted, clinical approach designed to restore or maintain a healthy diurnal variation and appropriate responsiveness of the stress hormone cortisol. This strategy encompasses lifestyle, nutritional, and targeted supplement interventions aimed at optimizing the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis function. The goal is to ensure cortisol is released efficiently during acute stress and suppressed effectively during rest, preventing the long-term deleterious effects of chronic hyper- or hypo-cortisolism. Effective regulation is foundational for hormonal balance, immune health, and emotional stability.
