Re: GAS model outdated and inaccurate...

" Also want to mention that under-eating will throw off all your hormones."

Of course you do, lol.

"Seems like most here who tried some kind of cortisol med or supp felt too stimulated and hyper on it which tells me there adrenals are making enough cortisol."

I wouldn't know. I've never been given the opportunity to take HC.

"Quite a few who improved were vegan when sick and now are eating a diet that's much more calorie-dense."

I got better on a vegan diet (801010), but maybe problem is more digestive related. Maybe from low cortisol?

"but I think we all agree we'd rather see people truly get better so they don't need to take any medicines.
"

Definitely! Myself included. But I don't personally believe that taking vitamins/minerals or adaptogenic herbs (natural plants that grow in the wild) are harmful, unless taken excessively.

" which tells me there adrenals are making enough cortisol."

Can't agree with you on this because this is an assumption.

You should check out the video when you have an opportunity. Its called "Stess: Portrait of a Killer". Informative about how stress affects the body (well baboons in this case).
