There is a lot of confusion around cortisol. Many people are unsure whether or not they may have high cortisol or low cortisol. Today I want to help clear up this confusion.
Symptoms of high cortisol (Cushing’s syndrome):
• Large waist
• Thin leg muscles
• Round face
• Insomnia
• Blood sugar issues
• Atrophy in the gluteus maximus (butt muscles)
• Acne
• Allergies
• Low vitamin D
• Excessive thinking
• Osteoporosis
Symptoms of low cortisol (Addison’s syndrome):
• Thin waist
• Tan
• Vitiligo
• Poor immune system
• Salt cravings all day long
• You’re completely burnt out
Cushing’s syndrome is very rare. Addison’s disease is also very rare. However, there can be a subclinical problem with cortisol. This means that it may not show up on a blood test or a saliva test until it’s very advanced. I believe many people have a subclinical cortisol problem that’s hard to detect with certain testing.
With a subclinical cortisol problem, the receptor for cortisol has become downgraded. There is now a cortisol resistance problem. With this situation, you can actually have symptoms of both low cortisol and high cortisol.
To potentially help with cortisol resistance, you need to do whatever you can to inhibit the trigger for cortisol. You need to drop your stress. Isolate where your stress is coming from and do whatever you can to minimize the stress. There are things you can do as far as exercise, diet, nutrients, and even a certain massage technique that I've outlined in other videos. There is also something natural called Panax ginseng that may potentially help, along with lowering your stress.
