If you eat a grapefruit or you drink a, I don't know, six to eight ounces of grapefruit juice, it's going to have a meaningful impact on how long the cortisol that's already in your bloodstream lasts. So if you're interested in boosting your morning cortisol, simply eat a grapefruit in the morning.
