How to lower cortisol levels and restore inner peace

Do you wake up feeling tired in the morning, find it hard to concentrate during the day, and have dozens of thoughts racing through your head in the evening, preventing you from falling asleep? 🌀 Something is clearly wrong with your body. Perhaps it’s down to cortisol — a hormone also known as the ‘stress hormone’ ⚡

A certain level of cortisol is normal. It helps us respond to danger, muster our strength and overcome difficulties. But when cortisol levels are constantly elevated, the body enters a state of alertness on a permanent basis. And that’s when insomnia 😵‍💤, fatigue, irritability, and problems with memory, immunity and even weight start to appear.

Symptoms of high cortisol 📉

Elevated cortisol levels can manifest in various ways. The most common symptoms are:

• a feeling of anxiety or constant tension;
• sleep problems;
• mood swings;
• frequent colds (weakened immune system);
• impaired concentration and memory;
• unwanted weight gain, particularly around the abdomen;
• chronic fatigue, even after rest.

All of these are signs that your nervous system is overloaded and your body needs some support 💆

How can I lower my cortisol levels?

Of course, it’s not always possible to eliminate stress from our lives. But we can change the way our bodies react to it. Here are a few tried-and-tested ways to do so:

• deep, restful sleep;
• moderate physical activity;
• less caffeine and sugar;
• mindfulness practices (meditation, breathing exercises, yoga);
• natural herbal and fungal therapy 🍄

And this is where things get really interesting.

Certain mushrooms and herbs do indeed have the ability to lower cortisol levels and restore the nervous system. These include the fly agaric and reishi.

Fly agaric

In microdosing, it works thanks to muscimol— a substance that calms the nervous system via GABA receptors. These act as a sort of ‘relaxation button’ in the brain. They inhibit excessive arousal, lower cortisol levels and help you feel balanced.

People who have tried it report the following effects:

• deeper sleep, when you really get to rest;
• less inner turmoil when you’re constantly stressed for no reason;
• mental clarity, because constant cortisol is like a fog in your head.

Of course, it’s not a case of ‘have a drink and it’s all sorted’. It’s the approach that matters. Start with small doses, take them regularly, and follow a course of treatment for at least a month.

Reishi

This is a legendary mushroom from traditional Chinese medicine. It is also known as the ‘mushroom of immortality’ due to its centuries-old reputation as a remedy for fatigue, nervous exhaustion and loss of vitality.

In the context of stress, reishi:

• lowers cortisol levels;
• supports the adrenal glands;
• improves sleep quality, but without causing drowsiness;
• strengthens the immune system, which is being ‘worn down’ by chronic stress.

It is important that Reishi works gently and gradually, supporting the body under high stress without causing fatigue, but rather promoting recovery.
