Hello again,
I was probably like some of you, obsessed in trying to lower my cortisol with some natural products (phosphatidyl serine and ginkgo biloba, for me).
For some reasons, i was convinced to have a high cortisol level. I was WRONG!
My endo came back this week with some results of tests (saliva and dexamethasone) i passed weeks ago. My cortisol is bordeline LOW!
He was not surprised at all, saying that hypothyroidism is very often accompanied with adrenal fatigue and vice versa. So low energy in the morning, depression, low basal temperature, brain fog, flat emotion and sweet tooth *might* be symptoms of adrenal fatigue.
So please, be smarter than me. Don't try to fix by yourself your metabolism (hormone or whatever it is) if you don't have real proofs (tests) in your hands of your imbalance/disease. Clues are not enough.
