 If my adrenals are stressed do you think I should absolutely stay away from chocolate? I know it has a little bit of caffeine in it but it seems like it does me some good to eat small amounts of high quality dark chocolate

A small amount of dark chocolate occasionally is not going to be a problem.

I do very well on all of the herbs that you mentioned except ginseng. It tends to make me very hyper and a little bit wired. Even the Siberian ginseng which is less intense than the other types.

That is odd that you would react to Siberian ginseng that way.  Siberian ginseng is not even a true ginseng.  It is only referred to as a ginseng due to its adaptogenic properties.  Just like suma ("Brazilian ginseng") and ashwagandha ("Indian ginseng").  And most of the ginseng we get in the health food stores is garbage.  The high quality roots are about $600 a pound so the Chinese keep these.  What they export for encapsulation is the root bark and rootlets that would otherwise get thrown away.  This is another reason I prefer jiaogulan, which is 7 times higher in sterols than Panax ginseng giving you more strength at a much lower cost.
