Cortisol is a life-sustaining stress hormone released by your adrenal glands. It follows a diurnal pattern, usually peaking at 8am, and reaching its lowest right around 4am. While it is vital for cortisol to be released during times of stress, it is also crucial that it returns to normal levels. In our high stress culture, the stress response is activated frequently and our body doesn’t have the chance to bring it back down to a normal level.
