Low morn cortisol question and high rest of the day

Low morn cortisol question and high rest of the day

I have results for my cortisol.

AM is low 12 and the rest of the day is really, high. midnight is 6.

Is it true you can only use natural supplements to reduce cortisol levels?
I also realize it takes time, but how long? I am stage 2 of 7 and have adrenal stress.

I have to start reducing stress, is yoga best? I have also taken time of work to focus on myself.

Thanks for the info.

You have "lost" your diurnal rhythm and need to see a competent endocrinologist. One who knows Cushing's syndrome.

I do not know of any "natural" supplements to reduce cortisol - you have to find the source of the high cortisol (be it adrenal, pituitary or ectopic tumor, unless you are taking steroids). Surgery to remove the tumor, or meds can only be used short term. Meds have to be used with replacement steroids.

I had pituitary Cushing's and my cortisol levels were all over the place.
