A member asked:
Can a high level of cortisol lower testosterone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The exact mechanism is not known, but high cortisol levels as a result of chronic or transient stress may indeed lower one's testosterone level. One way to naturally increase your testosterone level is to lower your stress through adequate sleep, relaxation, meditation, etc.
