In this episode of Reading Labs, Nurse Doza discusses cortisol, a hormone produced by the body in response to stress. Cortisol not only acts as a stress response, but it also increases blood sugar levels to provide energy throughout the day. The optimal range for cortisol levels varies throughout the day, with higher levels in the morning and lower levels in the evening. If cortisol levels are imbalanced, it can affect sleep and lead to difficulties falling asleep. Checking cortisol levels can help identify any adrenal issues and guide individuals towards achieving a healthier balance.
