Understanding Cushing's Syndrome and Cortisol's Role

Cushing's syndrome is characterized by high levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, which can lead to noticeable physical symptoms such as a round face, often referred to as moon face. This condition can result from prolonged stress or from medications like prednisone, which can cause weight gain and fat redistribution, particularly around the face and abdomen. High cortisol levels can also lead to muscle loss and other metabolic complications, including elevated cholesterol and hypertension. Individuals with chronic stress may experience persistent high cortisol levels, which can further exacerbate these symptoms and complicate weight management efforts.
