What Is Cortisol? Understanding the “Stress Hormone” and Its Impact on Your Health

Have you been feeling stressed, exhausted, or unusually on edge lately? You’re not alone—and your body may be trying to tell you something. 

Meet cortisol, often called the “stress hormone.”

Life is not more stressful than those who survived a world when wars drafted sons, telephones didn’t leave home, and a trip to the bathroom meant a dark, cold walk to the outhouse that may or may not be housing a raccoon for the night. What is different is the modern world’s response to stress.
