That's interesting. I have thought that I have overworked adrenals, but the doctor checked my cortisol and it was 14. There was no range on the lab for normal but he said that mine was normal. And, I don't drink coffee.
I no longer can afford the acupunturist, so does your book say anything about what's normal for the cortisol. I have a lot of belly fat and I've heard that belly fat is a sign of too much cortisol.
