ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Support for the Cortisol-Awakening Response (CAR)

The CAR is a normal response when light enters the eyes upon waking. Cortisol is released very quickly over the course of about 30 to 45 minutes, until it reaches a peak. Normally, cortisol then begins its decline until it reaches its lowest point at night.

Initially, under acute stress, it’s common for people to feel anxious or hypervigilant, and have difficulty sleeping, due to high cortisol levels. These people may show elevated cortisol all day and into the evening. But if high stress continues over time, there is a negative feedback loop that can shift high cortisol gradually lower and lower, and eventually people become tired and “burned out”. It’s at this point that some people may have a blunted CAR.

A healthy CAR is considered a sign of resiliency. The CAR is influenced by brain health and quality of sleep. Waking in the morning is like a mini stress test for the body, so an abnormally low CAR is an indication that the person is not mounting an appropriate physiologic response to stress. They probably feel sluggish upon waking, have difficulty getting out of bed, and take a long time to wake up, maybe resorting to a lot of coffee just to function.

Restoring a healthy CAR requires a holistic approach, which includes ensuring adequate sleep, waking up at the same time each day, getting bright light upon waking, and movement each day, and can be further aided by taking these supportive supplements.

In the morning, activities that may help encourage a healthy CAR include:

  • Exposure to bright, natural light immediately on waking. Open the curtains, go outside, or use a full-spectrum lightbox or light bulb.
  • Perform exercise and movement within 30 to 45 minutes of waking.
  • Take dietary supplements within the first 30 to 45 minutes of waking to help support cortisol production. Repeating supplementation at lunch or in the early afternoon is optional.

Nutritional support for a healthy CAR includes vitamin C and B vitamins, but also includes energy supporting herbs for the HPA-axis and the brain. Licorice is most well known for supporting morning cortisol response, rhodiola is an energizing adaptogen for the HPA axis, and bacopa is a stimulating herb for the brain. Working together, these herbs help restore a normal CAR.

Because of the role of mitochondria in cortisol production, we want to also consider ingredients like pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), or resveratrol for mitochondrial support as part of the foundational supplement regimen.

An important part of restoring a normal CAR is bringing the whole circadian rhythm back to normal. Getting to bed earlier and getting more sleep are just as important as a consistent waking routine. Melatonin and turning off routers during sleep are known to help one get a restful night’s sleep.
