@prino_booktok: Cortisol is not the villain the internet sometimes makes it out to be. Your body actually needs cortisol. It helps you wake up, makes energy available when you need it, supports blood-pressure regulation, influences inflammation, and helps your body respond to challenges. The goal isn't to “get rid of cortisol.” It's healthy regulation and a normal daily rhythm. And here's the part many people don't know: cortisol normally begins rising before you wake up. So the next time you hear “cortisol is bad,” remember—your body isn't fighting against you. This hormone has a job to do. Did you know cortisol does all of this? #Cortisol #StressHealth #HormoneHealth #BodyLiteracy #SolidarityWellness
