Wellness Wednesday: Let’s Talk Cortisol 🧠⚖️ Cortisol isn’t bad—it’s necessary. The problem comes when stress never turns off. This Wellness Wednesday starts a series on cortisol—what it’s supposed to do, and what happens when it stays elevated too long. Under normal, healthy circumstances, cortisol: • Helps you wake up and feel alert in the morning • Regulates blood sugar and metabolism • Supports immune and inflammatory responses • Helps your body respond appropriately to stress • Follows a natural daily rhythm—high in the morning, low at night Education first. Balance always. More to come. 💫 #wellness #balance #stress #cortisolimbalance
