your thoughts on the cortisol connection val...

[Guest guest]

while waiting for cortisol results i read 'the cortisol connection'

thinking all my symptoms were due to high cortisol and was shocked to

find out i was in stage 7 af.

in retrospect i'm thinking alot of these people the book is addressing

are going through earlier stages of adrenal fatigue and am wondering

if the recommendations to lower it so much is actually

counterproductive in the healing process, especially obviously if they

are hypo too since they're on their way to further stages, and hc

would be more beneficial...or does lowering it during those actually

help?

i'm just glad i got the tests back before starting any of his

regimens...i can't imagine what my poor adrenals would have done and

wonder if others made their situation worse?

You aren't alone in that. I succumbed to pressure and did the testing,

which I really didn't want to do. And darn glad I did. As I had no idea

I was as bad as stage 7, burden 10. My son was convinced I was high

cortisol, because of the abdominal weight, but bony hands/feet, round face.

Shudder to think if I had gone the route of trying to lower already

flatlined cortisol.
