Cortisol and Resilience

Certain individuals, particularly in high-pressure professions, may possess a genetic predisposition that allows them to endure extended periods of stress and sleeplessness. However, this hyper-production of cortisol can lead to significant long-term health issues, including higher rates of depression and metabolic dysfunction. The ability to persist in challenging environments can be a double-edged sword, as it may enable individuals to endure toxic circumstances, ultimately affecting their relationships and overall well-being.
