Chronic Stress & Cortisol
06/04/2025

Dr Robyn Kutka explains how chronic stress can affect cortisol levels over time. She also talks about how you can measure your levels using Salivary Hormone Testing.

Chronic stress keeps the body in a constant state of "fight or flight," leading to prolonged elevation of cortisol — the primary stress hormone. While short bursts of cortisol help us respond to immediate threats, sustained elevated cortisol is associated with disrupted sleep, shifts in body composition, and feelings of mental fatigue, irritability, and unease that many women recognise during high-stress periods. Over time, prolonged stress can leave many women feeling deeply fatigued and emotionally depleted. If stress feels never-ending and your energy is crashing, it may be worth speaking with a healthcare provider about how stress is affecting your overall well-being.
