“Meditation directly impacts our nervous system by reducing the body's production of stress-related chemicals such as cortisol. It's a great way to recharge our personal battery.”
― Laurie Buchanan, PhD

“Stress also desynchronizes activation in different frontocortical regions, which impairs the ability to shift attention between tasks.”
― Robert M. Sapolsky, Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst

“Science experiments have found that people who practice meditation release significantly lower doses of cortisol, known as the stress hormone. This is consequential because frequent release of cortisol can lead to heart disease, diabetes, dementia, cancer, and depression.”
― Dan Harris, 10% Happier

“Too much tension is a disease; but so is too little. There are certain occasions when we ought to be tense, when an excess of tranquility (and especially of tranquility imposed from the outside, by a chemical) is entirely inappropriate.”
― Aldous Huxley, Moksha: Writings on Psychedelics and the Visionary Experience

“Cortisol vs oxytocin
Dawn of mood”

“The term -stress- is almost always used to refer to a negative stimulus but increases in cortisol also occur during positive and beneficial experiences, such as mating and exercise. Cortisol serves other functions across the soma, including in energy metabolism. Therefore, accurately interpreting changes in cortisol levels requiere knowledge of context, perception and activity levels.”

“The 2022 book 鈥楳agee鈥檚 Disease鈥� describes the cortisol test to detect it. The hypoxic very high altitude Magee鈥檚 Disease matches well with Long COVID. The amino acids supplementing protocol to treat Magee鈥檚 Disease is also documented.”

“Decades of research on the stress hormone cortisol indicate that many depressed people chronically overproduce this hormone. More revealing, the chemical switches that normally turn cortisol off appear to be stuck.”
― Jonathan Rottenberg, The Depths: The Evolutionary Origins of the Depression Epidemic

“One is elevated cortisol, already mentioned as a stress hormone important in bodily mobilization for use in short-term emergencies, such as a zebra needing to escape from a lion. Normally, cortisol is tightly regulated to help it return to low levels, but this hormone is persistently elevated in many depressed people. Longer exposure to high cortisol has a welter of physical effects, like wasting muscles and even damaged neurons in the brain. Prolonged cortisol exposure may also help stretch out depression. Consistent with this notion, patients with Cushing鈥檚 syndrome, a metabolic disorder caused by high levels of cortisol, often become depressed.”
