369. Does Inflammation Affect Cortisol?

Self Care Simplified

In so many ways, our bodies are like a symphony. A delicate balance of “instruments” that, when they work together, keep us functioning at our best. But what happens when part of the symphony gets out of balance?

Let’s take the hormone cortisol for example. Listener Dessa asks: “I just listened to your episode on inflammation (Episode 348), and I’m curious - does inflammation affect cortisol? How do we decrease cortisol? What are triggers for cortisol?”

In this quick episode, we’ll dive into the delicate hormone “symphony” playing in our bodies, and what happens when it becomes unbalanced. We’ll discuss the relationship between cortisol and inflammation, and I’ll give you the tools you need to lower your cortisol levels and help reduce inflammation.
