How to lower high cortisol?
AlphaMD's Answer
Increasing your calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B1 intake can help control cortisol, but beyond that, most treatment for high cortisol is through lifestyle changes. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. Better sleep habits and regular moderate exercise. Going outdoors and spending time in sunlight have been proven to lower cortisol. Reduce stress and do relaxing activities.
