In this week’s episode of Real Integrative Medicine, Dr. Jordan Robertson discusses the complexities and challenges of cortisol testing, emphasizing that it may not be a reliable indicator of stress or fatigue. She also presents ten critical considerations to evaluate before deciding to test cortisol, including sleep, nutrition, movement, and personal development.
