Cushing Syndrome
Cushing Syndrome (High Cortisol):
Cushing syndrome is a rare disorder that results when the body produces too much cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone that helps the body to manage stress and protect against injury.
Cushing syndrome can cause serious problems, including weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis.

Excessive cortisol in people with Cushing Syndrome can lead to troubling symptoms including:
- weight gain

Naturopathic doctors are often seen as a more natural approach to healthcare. This may be why they have been shown to be effective in treating Cushing’s syndrome (CS). CS is a disorder that is caused by overproduction of the hormone cortisol.
