If I wanted to fix chronic cortisol without quitting my job, these are the 8 simple things I would do every day: 1. Stop drinking coffee by 1pm.

@Monalisamural Transdermal magnesium could be a good choice, in a bath before bed or on your pillow at night! You basically can soak in the magnesium without taking the supplement.

@LeddyLLC What if your body is sensitive to glycine and magnesium at night gives you insomnia instead?

8. Resistance training (3–5x/week) More training isn’t better if it just adds more stress. Keep sessions around 45–60 minutes and focus on intensity, not endless volume. Resistance training lowers baseline cortisol over time. Train to adapt, not to exhaust yourself.

Creatine is the most researched supplement in existence and people still treat it like it's dangerous. Builds muscle. Improves strength. Speeds recovery. Research now consistently shows it supports memory and brain function too. 5 grams a day, no loading needed, no cycling required. Just take it and let it work.

The best thing you can do for your gut costs nothing. Eat within a consistent window. Sleep 7–9 hours. Manage stress daily. Get fiber from whole foods. The microbiome runs on rhythm and inputs - not expensive probiotics taken inconsistently on top of a bad diet. Get the basics right first. Everything else builds on that.

9. Morning sunlight (30mins from waking up) Your cortisol rhythm is supposed to spike early… then fall. No sunlight = delayed rhythm = elevated cortisol at night. This is why your sleep feels off even if you’re tired. Light sets the entire system.

It doesn’t matter if you’re 30, 40 or 50... when stress piles up, it all feels the same. Here’s science-backed advice for lowering it ASAP🧵: 1. Sauna 3-5x a week.
