Cortisol is a vital hormone that plays a key role in managing stress, regulating sleep, metabolism, and immune function. However, chronic stress can cause cortisol imbalances, leading to symptoms like fatigue, sleep disturbances, frequent illness, and weight gain. Elevated cortisol levels can also contribute to insulin resistance, increasing the risk of serious health conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and liver issues. Managing cortisol through lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, or consulting with a healthcare provider are essential for restoring balance and overall well-being
