Feeling Stressed? Your Cortisol Levels Might Be Trying to Tell You Something

April is Stress Awareness Month — and your health matters.

We all deal with stress — it’s part of life. But what if your body is waving a red flag, and you don’t even realize it? That’s where cortisol, your body’s main stress hormone, comes in.

Cortisol helps regulate your mood, sleep, metabolism, inflammation, and even your immune response. When it’s balanced, you feel like your best self. But when it’s too high (or too low) for too long, it can wreak havoc on your body and mind.

Some signs your cortisol levels may be out of whack:

  • Feeling constantly exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep
  • Anxiety or irritability that feels hard to control
  • Weight gain, especially around your midsection
  • Trouble sleeping or staying asleep
  • Frequent headaches or digestive issues
  • Weakened immune system or getting sick more often

Sound familiar? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to just “push through it.”
