If you suspect high cortisol is causing rapid weight gain, please consult an endocrinologist. It is crucial to get a proper morning salivary or blood cortisol test done to rule out any underlying adrenal issues safely.

I'm also reading about how chronic stress keeps cortisol high and prevents weight loss. Does doing light yoga or meditation actually help lower it, or do we need medical supplements for this?
