How does Cortisol affect you?
What is Cortisol?
Cortisol is our primary stress
hormone. It falls into a category of
glucocorticoids hormones, referring to
their ability to increase blood glucose
levels. Cortisol is the primary
glucocorticoid. According to supplement
proponents, cortisol is needed by the
body to control carbohydrate metabolism,
inflammation and cardiovascular
function. Cortisol also called the
“fight-or-flight” hormone due to its
effects in increasing blood pressure and
the flow of glucose (as well as fat and
protein) out of your tissues and into
the bloodstream to help us escape from
or fight off a predator or other
stressful event.
