A member asked:

What are some natural ways to lower cortisol levels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why?: How do you know your cortisol level is high and why do you want to lower it? There are no "natural" ways, except to lower stress. If you are concerned, check w/endocrinologist. If your levels are really high, definitely check w/endocrinologist. Don't get your medical info from tv and the internet. It's garbage!
