Cortisol Suppression Techniques

Meaning

Cortisol Suppression Techniques encompass a range of deliberate physiological and behavioral interventions designed to acutely or chronically reduce the circulating levels of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, particularly when levels are elevated due to stress or pathology. These techniques are clinically relevant for managing conditions associated with chronic HPA axis dysregulation, promoting a return to hormonal equilibrium. Effective suppression supports improved immune function, enhanced sleep quality, and reduced catabolic states.
