Top 10 Health Problems Associated with High Cortisol

Here are the top 10 problems associated with high cortisol levels:

1.Weight Gain: Elevated cortisol can lead to increased appetite and cravings for unhealthy foods, contributing to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen.

2. Increased Blood Sugar Levels: High cortisol can stimulate gluconeogenesis, raising blood sugar levels and potentially leading to insulin resistance.

3. Anxiety and Depression: Chronic high cortisol is linked to mood disorders, including heightened anxiety and depression.

4. Sleep Disturbances: Elevated cortisol can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia and poor sleep quality.

5. Memory and Cognitive Impairment: High cortisol levels can affect memory, learning, and overall cognitive function.

6. Weakened Immune System: Prolonged high cortisol can suppress the immune response, making the body more susceptible to infections and illness.

7. Digestive Issues: Increased cortisol can lead to gastrointestinal problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other digestive disturbances.

8. Skin Issues: High cortisol levels can contribute to skin problems, including acne, eczema, and other inflammatory skin conditions.

What Is Cortisol Calm

Cortisol Calm is a blend of herbal extracts and vitamin D designed to maintain healthy cortisol levels and to support relaxation, restful sleep, and positive mood during times of stress.*

Uses For Cortisol Calm Supports Healthy Cortisol Production:

Cortisol, released in response to stress, is mainly produced by the adrenal cortex. Intra-abdominal adipocytes also produce cortisol. In a recent study, Sensoril® ashwagandha extract promoted relaxation and maintained healthy cortisol and C-reactive protein levels.

Subjects in this randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study reported support for healthy sleep, positive mood and cognitive function. The effects were most pronounced for subjects taking 500 mg per day compared to lesser doses.

Rhodiola and magnolia may also maintain healthy adrenal cortisol activity and offer support for stress, mood and emotional well-being.

l-Theanine supports normal brain alpha-wave activity, helping calm the sympathetic nervous system for a relaxing effect. Recent research suggests that maintaining healthy vitamin D levels supports normal cortisol production within abdominal adipocytes.*
