Anyone here take part in the TalkShoe call w/ Doctor Lowe on Jan 14?

[Guest guest]

There was something he said that caught my attention:

" That's the, of course, the difficulty in using symptoms [to diagnose high or

low cortisol] just for example, we had patients, who . long long ago, we did a

study and we picked patients had to have peripheral thyroid hormone resistance

based on their symptoms, based on their sky high Free T3 level that was non

toxic to them, they got well from their hypothyroid like symptoms. And we took

their blood samples and sent them to France we thought if anybody has mutations

in their beta gene, it's got to be these people. No mutations whatsoever. There

have been times where I've said to patients, `I will be shocked if your cortisol

levels come back anything other than rock bottom.' And [instead], they would

come back high. It was humbling if you're a clinician. "

I thought, " Ok, that is completely a description of me. " My blood T3 has gotten

insanely high and really scared my doctors while I was on high doses of T3, but

I have absolutely no reaction to it, positive or negative. I know I have high

cortisol but I haven't ventured into fixing it until now, does anyone know ways

to lower it (other than just " relax " or " do yoga! " ) Is phosphatidylserine really

an effective option?

Thanks!
