Cortisol and Melatonin Circadian Rhythm Physiology

---

This informative presentation, developed by Dr. Datis Kharrazian, will explore the intimate inverse relationship between cortisol and melatonin circadian rhythms. The neurophysiology of these rhythms and their modulation on immune function, blood sugar stability, insomnia, and other health disorders will be discussed. In addition, the consequences of abnormal circadian rhythms on inflammation, autoimmune reactions (TH-1 and TH-2 shifts), and various health conditions will be presented.

Topics Include:

• Why Selye’s model of stress stages is no longer accepted
• The current research on the cortisol rhythm and its dependence on the melatonin rhythm
• The physiological mechanisms involved with cortisol release quality, quality, and amplitude
• Why people have repeated symptoms during the same part of the day
• Why people have seasonal symptoms
• Clinical jewels and insights
