Cortisol Control Strategies
Cortisol, often labeled as the stress hormone, can be beneficial when it peaks in the morning but detrimental if elevated later in the day. Effective protocols, such as 12-minute sauna sessions followed by cold exposure, can significantly reduce cortisol levels. While other hormones like testosterone and DHEA showed no significant changes, the sauna method presents a practical, research-backed approach to managing stress and enhancing overall resilience.In this clip

How can a double inhale and exhale help with stress as discussed in the episode The Science of Small Change | Andrew Huberman | Knowledge Project and the clip Breathing for Calm?
Is this correct: The physiological sigh is a natural breathing pattern that occurs in humans and animals to regulate stress and enhance calmness. It involves taking a deep inhale, followed by a brief second inhale (through the nose), and then a long exhale (preferably through the mouth). This double inhale inflates the alveoli, ensuring they remain open and can rebalance the ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body.
