In reply to Tim. Hi Tim, in that article, it mentions possible causes of low cortisol. If you have circadian rhythm disruption, perhaps you can see if fixing that fixes your cortisol levels. You can try LabTestAnalyzer to monitor your cortisol or SelfDecode for gene reports on sleep (and other information related to genetic markers). Hope that helps! Caroline

I have read everything on this site about cortisol and PTSD and anxiety and not one mention of how to raise cortisol..? Every anxiety remedy on here just makes me more spaced out sleepy and difficulty in verbal communication.. I’ve got brain fog aspergers and social anxiety. No friends because I can’t talk or socialise. Too nervous and my mind is blank. I don’t have $500 to converse with jo,but even if I did it wouldn’t help because I wouldn’t be in the ‘zone’ to ask the right questions that I would need. Tried many supps and have a full list of all the side effects they all cause. Man, why no help for low cortisol. I can’t even find anything on selfdecode that helps.

After extensive reading and research I’m losing weight and have extreme fatigue. I just would like a trial of cortisol to see for myself.

Hi,

From my knowledge, at first high cortisol levels stimulates energy in the body, but after a prolonged period of high cortisol your body’s ability to balance out this ‘overdrive’ becomes strained. This can cause, and show symptoms of chronic fatigue. Thats why when you are attempting to balance high cortisol levels, it is often a difficult situation, as some people have been on ‘overdrive’ with their cortisol stress levels for so long, it becomes a case of dealing with low cortisol levels. The irony in the issue. I may be wrong in my explanation, i am not an expert. This is based on limited research.

One minute you say cortisol gives you energy. Then the next minute you say it causes fatigue. Can you please clear this up for for me? Thanks buddy
