How Cortisol Affects Blood Sugar: What Science Reveals About the Link Between Stress Hormones and Glucose Levels

Stress is not merely an emotional state—it is a physiological cascade that changes how the body regulates energy. One of the most influential players in this cascade is cortisol, a steroid hormone that belongs to the glucocorticoid family. Known as the “stress hormone,” cortisol affects numerous systems throughout the body, including immune responses, metabolism, cardiovascular function, and even cognitive processes. Among its most notable effects, however, is its impact on blood sugar. As researchers continue to unravel the complex dynamics between hormones and metabolism, the connection between cortisol and blood glucose regulation has emerged as an essential area of scientific inquiry. For anyone concerned with metabolic health, understanding how cortisol influences blood sugar is vital, especially in today’s fast-paced, stress-laden environment.

I Feel Like Something Is Wrong With My Brain: Scientific Explanations, Early Signs, and What You Can Do

When someone says, "I feel like something is wrong with my brain," it often carries more weight than a casual complaint. It reflects a genuine concern that something about their mental or neurological functioning has changed, and not for the better. These changes may be subtle or stark, sudden or creeping. They can appear as forgetfulness, cognitive fog, loss of motivation, or even physical sensations like pressure or tingling in the head. In our fast-paced, high-stress world, where neurological and mental health issues are on the rise, such statements are becoming increasingly common. But the underlying reasons are rarely simple, and understanding them requires a deeper dive into how the brain functions and what happens when it starts to fall out of balance.
