The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
In terms of their role in cortisol, we know that mitochondria actually have the enzyme required for the synthesis of steroid hormones. So that includes cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone, some names that maybe everybody's heard of. so that means that if mitochondria are in short supply or dysfunctional, the production of those hormones may become dysregulated.

process they play an instrumental role in both the first and the last step in the synthesis of cortisol and they play a role in the first step in the synthesis of all of the steroid hormones which include estrogen testosterone progesterone so that if you have disregulation of cortisol or if you have disregulation of testosterone or estrogen or progesterone you must understand the role of mitochondria in that disregulation because they are critical in the production and release of these hormones
