Cortisol (AM), Salivary or Serum
"Read the Rise. Trace the Ruins."
Cortisol is the terrain’s first responder. It wakes you up. Keeps inflammation in check. Helps you survive—until it begins to devour the temple. Elevated cortisol destroys sleep, depletes immunity, thins gut walls, and hijacks fasting protocols. Too low, and you’re left foggy, unmotivated, and hormonally stranded.
AM Cortisol (blood or saliva) tells us if the adrenal terrain is surging or collapsing
Reveals adrenal fatigue, spiritual burnout, or endocrine misfire
Essential before entering long fasting cycles or trauma healing protocols
🧠 In the Absurd model, cortisol is the gatekeeper of spiritual energy. It decides whether you will thrive under pressure or collapse. This test tells us whether your terrain needs rebuilding—or if you're ready to walk into the fire.
“He shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles…” — Isaiah 40:31
