What Is Cortisol and Why It Matters
Cortisol is a hormone released by your adrenal glands in response to stress. In healthy levels, it helps you wake up, stay focused, and respond to challenges. But when cortisol is chronically high—or yo-yos throughout the day—it can lead to:
- Fatigue or insomnia
- Mood swings & anxiety
- Digestive issues
- Increased inflammation
Habits That Disrupt Cortisol Balance
Modern lifestyles unknowingly contribute to cortisol dysregulation, especially when these small habits stack up:
☕ Overconsuming caffeine (especially in the afternoon)
😵💫 Constant stress from work or multitasking
⏰ Skipping breaks or rushing through the day
📵 Lack of digital boundaries and poor sleep hygiene
These seemingly small stressors signal the body to stay in a constant state of “on,” reducing your ability to reset, recover, and feel balanced.
