Question:
Can high cortisol really be treated over the counter???
Answers:
Cortisol is produced as a stress response in the body. When you're under stress, your body slows your digestion and diverts calories into quick-burn storage around the middle...
This is useful if you're a caveman and you're being chased by a lion. These stress responses made survival possible.
Today, it is shown that many "daily life" stress events cause the exact same stress-responses in the body as those old "fight or flight" responses your ancestors dealt with.
So it is possible that things like breath work and Yoga can actually help you loose weight by modulating your stress responses. It usually takes a while, because you have developed habits around that stress. You need time to actually learn how to reduce your response to stress.
You don't need anything "over the counter" and do not believe anyone that tells you it can only be managed by drugs.
