CortisolManagement

Meaning

Cortisol Management is the clinical and behavioral strategy focused on precisely regulating the production and action of cortisol, the primary glucocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex in response to stress signals. Effective management aims to maintain a healthy, robust diurnal rhythm, characterized by a distinct morning peak and a nocturnal nadir, and prevent the deleterious systemic effects of chronic hyper- or hypocortisolism. This optimization is crucial for maintaining stable metabolic balance, robust immune function, and integrated neurocognitive health.
