Cortisol

To troubleshoot your health in case of a mysterious illness, try an elimination diet with only one "superfood" food introduced at first and then add one superfood at a time slowly. Hint, start out in this order: 1/2 pound avocados, 1 gallon milk or kefir, potatoes (not too much at all), 8 ounces Castelvetrano olives, 4 ounces capers,1 liter black tea, 8 ounces raw organic basil garlic dip, and 5 teaspoons raw organic honey. Research your illness day and night. Take breaks with art or creative writing. Keep your brain working! Add superfoods with antiviral properties one by one. Force yourself to be a Sherlock Holmes and know more than your doctor. Socialize 2 hours a day and strive for a peaceful recovery that lowers cortisol and adrenaline. Drinking gallons of fermented milk significantly lowers your cortisol and stress. The Mongols conquered the world with this trick by drinking a fermented horse mare milk called kumis, also called airag. Try to kill viruses with the best and safest antiviral superfoods. Good luck and best wishes.

Too much cortisol interferes with learning and memory. High cortisol levels also increase the risk of depression and mental health problems. Testosterone, on the other hand, is the hormone linked to assertiveness and confidence.

There is experimental evidence showing that cortisol restrains the intensity and duration of the emergency reaction to stress, and catecholamines have been shown to enhance emotional memory in the amygdala (see subsection on "Noradrenaline"). Thus, individuals lacking cortisol would overstore traumatic memories .

“While chronic stress can lead to increased levels of cortisol in the body, those levels don’t usually rise high enough to create a moon face,” said dermatologist Dr. Rajani Katta, a clinical assistant professor at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
