Cortisol Stress Response Tuning

Meaning

Cortisol Stress Response Tuning is a clinical strategy focused on modulating the magnitude and duration of the body’s physiological response to perceived stressors, primarily mediated by the hormone cortisol. The goal is not to eliminate cortisol, which is vital for life, but to ensure its release and clearance patterns are balanced and adaptive. Effective tuning prevents the detrimental effects of chronic hyper- or hypo-cortisolism on metabolic, immune, and cognitive function. This intervention promotes resilience and maintains hormonal equilibrium under duress.
