Your cortisol is probably fine. I mean, I'm not a doctor, and if you're concerned, you should get yourself checked out. But the people on Instagram and TikTok telling you to be Very Worried about your cortisol do not have any more information about your health than I do. The difference is, I'm not trying to sell you a supplement over it.
