Signs that You Have High Cortisol

Do you want to know some signs of chronically enacted cortisol levels?
Cortisol is intricately involved in fat metabolism, and consistently high cortisol levels can lead to increased fat storage, particularly around your stomach. If you notice unexplained weight gain, especially around the midsection, it could be a sign of elevated cortisol levels.

You're chronically stressed - Cortisol is released in response to stress so if you’re experiencing stress related to work, relationships, finances, stress from eating processed food, or poor sleep, it can result in consistently high levels If cortisol.

You're having sleep issues: Cortisol follows a diurnal rhythm, with levels being highest in the morning and lowest at night. When cortisol levels are consistently elevated though, it can disrupt your circadian rhythm, leading to sleep disturbances like waking up frequently, and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.

You're experiencing Anxiety and mood swings: High cortisol levels can affect your mood and emotions. If you are experiencing increased anxiety, irritability, mood swings, or even depression, it could be a good indicator of elevated cortisol levels.

You have chronic low energy: Cortisol is involved in regulating energy levels, and high cortisol levels can disrupt normal energy patterns. If you are feeling fatigued, lacking in energy, or experiencing a general sense of exhaustion despite adequate rest, it could be related to elevated cortisol levels.

Chronically stressed Caregiver (for my sweet mom who has dementia)- high cortisol has been constant. Little & poor sleep. It's a nightmare

Grounding outside barefoot is the best thing I’ve ever done for cortisol/adrenaline imbalances. Low carb and fasting made it so much worse. Circadian rhythm. Balance your macros and blood sugar and get outside!

[skboardkd]

I’m glad you cut the bud and went straight for the bag, most people don’t talk about cortisol levels and that one guy who talks about body types or whatever he only started telling people about cortisol after he was successful

THANK YOU! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 1997-ish. For the past 10 years it has been worsening, and I've noticed that despite taking my morning Synthroid exactly as directed, I oscillate between hypo and hyper episodes. This has coin coded with a more stressful job position, and I have believed there was a link, : stressful week=hypo, then on the weekend, stress gone, all the T4 that I took gets processed at once, and I'm hyper for 2 days, until the cycle starts again. I have seen several endocrinogists and doctors who told me, essentially, that I'm full of crap. Only recently did I find an end who believed me and told me about the cortisol-thyroid link. No I am managing the stress, and the thyroid. peaks and valleys are leveling off. Alas, If I had known this years ago! Again THANK YOU for this information! It will be a great help to many

[Flyonthewallyes]

Chronic low energy even though I eat a low carb and almost no sugar diet. Been fat my whole life because of the slow metabolism cortisol causes.

[mel]

[DBDG]

I was told I have high cortisol levels and I'm on the Keto diet for over 8 months so how does that make sense

[DonGivani]

Instead of guessing your levels, why don't do some testing at the doctor.
All the symptoms you mentioned can relate to other deceases

[BlondeQtie]

why are we acting as if a bit of belly fat is the big problem here???? the problem is the STRESS. how about we focus on mental health and a secure lifestyle for everyone as a society instead of being dramatic and acting like a few pounds of belly fat are the main problem?
