Sorry guys, I'm aware of basic Peat advice around cortisol, so I know I can make my own conclusions based on that, but I'm wondering if anyone has some firsthand experience with any Idealabs supps lowering cortisol?
I've made big progress but I still feel like my body is stuck in high-cortisol mode at the expense of androgens. Although my mood, energy, clarity, and skin have improved, I feel as though my body remains soft. Face and stomach a little bloated, and sex drive low.
I suspect cortisol because a few years ago I had it tested at 650 when the range was 100-300 or something similar (I don't have the results to hand). I've tried many things now - getting calories up, moderate fat, low fat, low muscle meat, high muscle meat etc. - but I feel as though it's time for an intervention. I was raised in a very stressful house with stressful parents, so I suspect I've had high cortisol since an early age.
