I legit spoke about Cortisol last week to address oversimplifications like this😩. Stress absolutely matters in PCOS. But can we stop diagnosing “high cortisol” from a list of nonspecific symptoms? Not being hungry in the morning is NOT an established early sign of high cortisol in PCOS. Fatigue, insomnia, irritability, low libido and weight gain can have multiple explanations. They do not automatically point to cortisol dysregulation. Yes, chronic stress can affect the HPA axis, sleep, mood and metabolic health. But stress does not mean everyone’s cortisol is chronically elevated, and PCOS is not synonymous with high cortisol. Cortisol follows a daily rhythm. Its levels and patterns cannot be referenced as to whether someone wants breakfast or has gained weight around their belly. If symptoms are persistent, investigate the possible causes rather than assigning them all to one hormone. PCOS itself deserves proper metabolic, psychological and sleep assessment. We can acknowledge the role of stress without turning cortisol into the explanation for every symptom women experience. To understand better you can read this pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…
