​As promised here are my top 6 natural solutions for helping to lower high cortisol.  
 
Natural Strategies to Lower Cortisol:
 
  1. Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Practices such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation can help reduce cortisol levels and promote a sense of calm and well-being.  Try to add one of these into your morning or evening routine daily. 
  2. Regular Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or yoga, can help lower cortisol levels and improve mood and energy levels.  No high intensity exercise, this can add to your cortisol issues.
  3. Balanced Nutrition: Consuming a balanced diet rich in whole foods, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, can help support adrenal health and regulate cortisol levels.
  4. Herbal Adaptogens: Adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and Holy basil have been shown to help the body adapt to stress and normalize cortisol levels.  Check with your herbalist before commencing any herbal routine, not suitable for everyone.
  5. Adequate Sleep: Prioritize getting sufficient and restful sleep each night, aiming for 7-9 hours for most adults. Establishing a consistent sleep schedule and creating a relaxing bedtime routine can support healthy cortisol rhythms.  Bed before 10 will improve your Zen.
  6. Stress Management: Identify sources of stress in your life and develop strategies to manage them effectively. This may include setting boundaries, practicing time management, seeking social support, and engaging in hobbies and activities you enjoy.
 
By recognizing the signs of high cortisol and implementing natural approaches to lower it, you can reclaim control over your health and cultivate resilience in the face of life's stressors. Prioritize self-care, nourish your body and mind, and embrace a holistic approach to well-being for lasting vitality and balance.
