Deep dives
Inflammation, cortisol, and brain health
Inflammation, cortisol, and brain health are interconnected. Changes in the brain can lead to changes in inflammation and cortisol levels. This relationship, often referred to as 'brain on fire,' can have a profound impact on mental health. Chronic stress and inflammation can prime the brain for imbalances and mental health issues.
