Cortisol Rhythm Entrainment

Meaning

Cortisol Rhythm Entrainment is the clinical process of utilizing targeted environmental, behavioral, or pharmacological interventions to restore the healthy, diurnal pattern of cortisol secretion, which is often disrupted by chronic stress or circadian misalignment. The objective is to re-establish the characteristic high morning peak (Cortisol Awakening Response) and the steady decline throughout the day, reaching a nocturnal nadir. This re-entrainment is essential for supporting optimal energy, immune function, and sleep quality, as cortisol acts as a primary time-keeper for many bodily functions.
