Cortisol is considered a stress hormone because its functions include raising blood sugar levels to give our cells extra energy in times of stress or illness and to fight inflammation. Therefore, cortisol can be chronically elevated mainly due to:
Cortisol concentrations vary biologically throughout the day in a circadian, i.e. daily, pattern. Cortisol levels are highest in the morning around 08:00 and decrease to their lowest levels in the evening around 23:00. In the early morning, around 03:00-04:00, they increase again and the cycle repeats itself.
It must be done on an empty stomach (8 hours, you can drink water), it must be done first thing in the morning and it is recommended to have had a good night's rest or at least one day with the usual routine.
