I have to take cortisol everyday because my ACTH does not respond. It's interesting. I've learned what triggers a stress response(emotional, physical, bad food) and I have no choice but to "stress dose". Cortisol is very calming if you need it. High cortisol also makes a person fat/run down because it pervents the thyroid hormone T4 to convert to T3(active hormone). Stay happy. This is a special interest of mine.

It's the chronic ongoing stress that we don't know about that keeps our cortisol levels rising and insulin resistance building...leading to all sorts of increases in inflammation, blood pressure and heart disease factors. Stress is a mental game...one we can control and win. We don't need to avoid it (as it can be everywhere) but we just not need to let things effect us in a stressful manner...to detach from them. That and taking Vit C has been found to help control cortisol levels. Stress kills….why we need time off to relax…time off from work, tv, the media…just take a walk outside.

It's very accessible and quite funny, but also informative and a bit alarming . . . if you're chronically stressed.
