Cortisol normally spikes during the day, but downregulation methods like breathing exercises and physical exercise can help manage it. It's important to monitor psychological and physical stress in the six to eight hours before sleep. This approach supports a healthy cortisol release pattern, which is needed to reduce inflammation and aid recovery.

Cortisol face is a roundness caused by stress, not diet, resulting from excess cortisol. High cortisol levels take protein from the legs and butt, converting it to fat around the midsection and face. L-Theanine is presented as an antidote to lower cortisol by increasing alpha brain waves, promoting calmness and deep sleep. L-Theanine also increases GABA, serotonin, and melatonin, the sleep hormone. The recommendation is to take L-Theanine about an hour before sleep.

For athletes with elevated cortisol, there are top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (sensory) approaches. Bottom-up approaches to create safety and change the cortisol signal include breath work, meditation, dancing, rhythmic movements, walking, and hiking. Running may raise cortisol. Meditation is recommended, but the type should be a good fit for the individual. Resonance breathing (five-second inhale, seven-second exhale, six breaths per minute for 10-20 minutes) can balance the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. A supplement called Cortisol Manager, containing ashwagandha and phosphatidylserine, can lower cortisol levels, especially when traveling.

The speaker says cortisol phase is real, though there aren’t a lot of studies. "When you have excess corticosteroids in your body, do get puffiness. You do hold on the water." They explain cortisol as the stress hormone released in response to stress. There’s marketing around supplements like "Ashwagandha" to combat this stress, and there is "limited evidence that it does help" with swelling and inflammation related to stress 100%. If you notice your face is puffy and you’re stressed, "it probably is because of your stress." Handling the stress is said to benefit other areas as well. Suggestions include "start getting good sleep, doing meditation, doing red light," and "getting rid of toxic people and relationships." The speaker notes, "it might be related to cortisol" but "handling the stress is gonna benefit you in more ways than one."

That puffy, round, swollen face you're seeing in the mirror. It's not water retention, it's your stress hormone cortisol. Here's what's really happening: Cortisol breaks down your proteins and converts them to sugar. This triggers insulin, your fat storing hormone. Most people don't realize stress is literally changing their face shape. If you're seeing a rounder face even though you're eating healthy, your cortisol levels might be the hidden culprit. Start with one thirty minute walk a day. It naturally lowers cortisol, you'll see the difference in your face within weeks.

Cortisol makes you gain weight. Now it's a stress hormone. When you have high levels of cortisol, it causes you to gain belly fat, it causes your muscles to break down, it makes you more resistant, it raises your blood pressure, it shrinks your memory center in your brain. So literally when you're stressed, your fat cells are listening. And when your body is actually in a state of stress, it's not designed to actually lose weight initially because you want to be flooding your body with sugar and fatty acids. And so you're basically inhibiting the process of metabolism metabolism and you're increasing your fat storage and you're doing all these things that are really bad. And they're good if you're running from a tiger for two minutes, but not if you're doing this every day.

Ashwagandha is known to lower anxiety and cortisol. Six studies collectively show reductions in cortisol, which is typically associated with waking up in the morning. A healthy brief cortisol bump that goes away is good, provided you're getting your light at the right times of day, like morning and evening, but you don't want cortisol chronically elevated, as that's associated with the bad effects of stress. There's a strong effect of Ashwagandha. Across six studies, Ashwagandha is reported to cause a 14.5 to 27.9 percent reduction in cortisol in otherwise healthy, but stressed individuals.

Simple way of putting this is that if people meditate regularly, that's reducing stress. The reduction in stress is reducing cortisol. Again, cortisol is healthy, but it should be restricted to early part of the day. You don't want too many peaks in cortisol, especially not late in the day. By meditating, you get the healthy pattern of cortisol release. You sort of inoculate yourself somewhat against the unhealthy pattern of cortisol release. And as a consequence, either the sleep that people get is deeper and or the total amount of sleep that they need is reduced.

So stress causes belly fat? Belly fat that's really hard to shift. So again, what I would see with people is that they would say, oh, I've put on a bit of weight around the middle, you know, had to loosen the belt a bit. So I've started eating less. I've started, like, exercising more, and I still can't shift it. And again, that's when I would explain this is the impact of cortisol. As long as you're still leaking out extra cortisol, nothing's gonna change. So, and like I said, even exercising more or eating better, less or differently, whatever it is, wouldn't shift that fat. You had to get to the root cause. You had to reduce the cortisol.

Too much cortisol may manifest as chronic back pain and headaches, as well as difficulty sleeping, including feeling tired yet awake at bedtime. Even with sufficient sleep, one may still feel fatigued. Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, is another sign, as is increased susceptibility to colds and infections. Cortisol imbalance can trigger sugar cravings due to fatigue, a decreased sex drive, and gut issues like cramps, constipation, or diarrhea. Heightened anxiety and a constant state of fight or flight may also indicate elevated cortisol. A free guide is offered to help relieve these symptoms; interested individuals can comment "cortisol fix" to receive it.

How to Control Your Cortisol & Overcome Burnout
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast. I'm Andrew Huberman, a professor at Stanford, and today we're discussing cortisol, its importance, and how to manage it to avoid or overcome burnout. Cortisol is often labeled as a stress hormone, but it plays a crucial role in energy deployment and overall well-being. The key takeaway is to maintain a proper cortisol rhythm: high in the morning shortly after waking and low in the evening before sleep. This rhythm is essential for health, mood, sleep, and performance. If you're feeling burnt out, wired and tired, or experiencing morning anxiety, adjusting your cortisol rhythm can help. Cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands and is involved in energy regulation, particularly glucose release into the bloodstream. It acts on a slower time scale compared to adrenaline, which is released quickly in response to stress. Understanding cortisol's role as an energy hormone rather than just a stress hormone is crucial. Your cortisol levels fluctuate throughout the day, with a specific pattern: minimal secretion before sleep, a slight rise during the early hours of sleep, a significant increase during the last hours of sleep, and a sharp spike upon waking. This spike is known as the cortisol awakening response (CAR), which is vital for feeling alert in the morning. To optimize cortisol levels, get bright light exposure within the first hour of waking. Sunlight is best, but a 10,000 lux artificial light can also work. Hydration is also important; drinking water first thing in the morning can help increase alertness and cortisol levels. Caffeine can be beneficial but should be consumed later in the morning to avoid a sharp decline in cortisol levels. Exercise is another effective way to manage cortisol. Regular exercise at the same time each day can help anchor your cortisol rhythm. However, exercising late in the day can spike cortisol levels, which may disrupt sleep. If you must work out later, ensure you consume starchy carbohydrates afterward to help lower cortisol. In the evening, it's essential to keep cortisol low. Dim lights and avoid bright screens, especially those emitting blue light, which can increase cortisol levels. Engaging in calming activities, such as breathing exercises or non-sleep deep rest (NSDR), can help reduce stress and lower cortisol. For those experiencing burnout, there are two patterns: one where individuals wake up stressed and crash in the afternoon, and another where they feel sluggish in the morning but are wired at night. Each pattern requires different strategies to manage cortisol effectively. Supplements like ashwagandha and apigenin can help lower cortisol levels, but they should be used in conjunction with behavioral strategies. Ashwagandha can reduce cortisol by 11% to 29%, while apigenin, found in chamomile tea, can also be beneficial. Understanding and managing your cortisol rhythm is crucial for overall health, mood, and cognitive function. By implementing these strategies, you can improve your energy levels, focus, and sleep quality. Thank you for joining today's discussion on cortisol.
