Cortisol is a hormone made by the adrenal glands and it plays a large role in the metabolism of the food that we eat. It is very sensitive and easily overwhelmed and that can lead to weight gain. Both high and low cortisol levels will cause this. Living a hectic lifestyle and watching the news is one way we cortisol imbalance. Even over doing it with exercise can have adverse effects. Lack of sleep definitely upsets the cortisol balance. If your days are filled with multi tasking and never ending to do lists you should consider getting your cortisol levels checked. Actually if you live in America or have kids like I do, you should get your cortisol levels checked. An imbalance could be at the route of chronic fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain.
