Re: Hydrocortisone detox

Did some type of followup test, maybe a 4x saliva cortisol, suggest that you no longer needed the modest dose of HC?

Any history of mild hypoglycemia where you are less clear-headed and less patient in between meals?

My understanding is that the body needs cortisol to properly utilize branch chain amino acids. BCAAs are among the supplements that athletes use to build muscle.

I think the AAs in muscle get converted by the liver to glucose to fuel the brain, etc, but cortisol is important in this process.

Do you like the effect of some glutamine between meals, maybe along with some B6?

Do you now have in increase in fatigue after a stressful day?

Are you planning to replace the modest dose of HC with other upstream adrenal cortex hormones such as pregnenolone and or progesterone cream?

I think directlabs.com has pregnenolone blood test for around $120.
