Stop telling me to lower my cortisol - it's making me stressed!
This fad is fascinating.
Cortisol is a symptom of chronic infection. It is produced when your energy levels are constantly suppressed. All those weird rituals do nothing to alleviate it.
The puffiness you see is "Infection Face". I would guess a lot of it is caused by all that hydrogen peroxide selfie-obsessed people put on their teeth. It makes them white, but destroys the gums.
