15 Signs of HIGH CORTISOL You Need to Watch for | Doctor Explains

High cortisol can show up in ways you might not expect, from stubborn belly weight and puffy face to fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, hair thinning, weakness, joint pain, and hormone changes. In this video, Dr. Taz explains 15 signs of high cortisol and cortisol dysfunction, why a single morning cortisol test may not tell the full story, and how functional medicine looks at cortisol patterns throughout the day. You’ll also learn why cortisol is not just a “stress hormone,” how it affects your metabolism, hormones, sleep, mood, skin, hair, and energy, and what you can start doing to support healthier cortisol balance. Dr. Taz shares practical steps including food timing, protein intake, sleep, gentle movement, adaptogens, magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin D, omega-3s, breathwork, humming, acupuncture, massage, and other holistic tools that can help calm the nervous system and support your adrenals. If you notice more than three of these signs, it may be time to look deeper at your cortisol levels and understand what your body is trying to tell you.
