What role does Cortisol senken play in Wechseljahre?

The role of lowering cortisol in menopause is not yet clearly established by evidence. Cortisol, the stress hormone, can be elevated during menopause due to hormonal shifts (estrogen decline) and typical stressors. Elevated cortisol is linked to weight gain, sleep disturbances, and mood swings – all common menopausal complaints. The idea of actively lowering cortisol is based on the plausible assumption that stress reduction could alleviate symptoms. However, the provided context lacks direct evidence for a causal relationship or specific interventions. MyBody-X offers hormone tests that measure cortisol, but the evidence for personalized cortisol lowering in menopause is weak. Recommendation: stress management, exercise, and sleep hygiene are generally beneficial, but solely lowering cortisol without medical supervision is not indicated.
