Cortisol is termed as the stress hormone because it is produced at higher levels during the body's fight or flight response to stress. Cortisol is also involved in other bodily functions, such as regulation of blood pressure, inflammatory response, and proper glucose metabolism. Abnormal levels of Cortisol in the body are associated with some negative effects, including suppressed thyroid function, decreased bone density and muscle tissue, increased abdominal fat, impaired cognitive functions and higher blood pressure. 

Diurnal Cortisol FAQ's:

What are some symptoms of high cortisol levels?
