Cortisol is a hormone formed in the adrenal glands that helps the body get extra energy to cope with times of stress or when glucose levels are low by breaking down tissues through a process known as catabolism. While it can be useful for short periods of time, maintaining chronically high cortisol levels can trigger a number of consequences that negatively affect your health. The main ones include:
