Sounds like you’ve got quite a lot on your plate, and it seems like high cortisol levels could be playing a part in all these symptoms. So, high cortisol, often referred to as the “stress hormone,” can create havoc in different ways, and it’s known to affect weight, sleep and even mood.

So, let’s break it down bit. First things first, Ayurveda views health through a lens of balance. The symptoms you described suggest a possible imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Vata governs movement and nervous system, and Pitta oversees digestion and metabolism. When these two get out of whack, all sorts of symptoms can arise—sound familiar?

One actionable step is to focus on grounding and cooling practices to calm these doshas. Start with your diet. Incorporate more warm, nourishing foods like kichari, which is a mix of rice and mung dal cooked with spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Avoid stimulants like caffeine and spicy foods, as they can aggravate digestion and stress.

Routine is important too. Try to eat, sleep, and wake up at the same time every day. It helps stabilize your body’s internal clock. Sleep before 10 p.m. if you can, ideally after a warm cup of spiced milk—nutmeg or cardamom works brilliantly to soothe excess Vata.

Also, consider Ashwagandha—an adaptogen that can help regulate cortisol. But, be cautious and consult a doctor before starting new supplements, especially if you are taking other medications.

For stress management yoga or simple breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom can do wonders for calming the mind and lowering stress levels.

If symptoms persist, it’s super vital to consult a healthcare professional. Some of these symptoms could be signs of underlying conditions that need more immediate attention than Ayurveda alone can provide.
