Default Hi all: Cortisol Question

Hi everyone,

I don't follow Shwarzbein and haven't read the books (although I think I'm going to pick them up soon). However, I have some problems that I think she addresses and would like to call on your collective experience for some help.

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (although its in remission), candida (I got rid of that too), hypothyroidism, and adrenal fatigue. I also was low in vitamin D and anemic. Now it seems I've got everything in order except for the adrenal fatigue. my morning cortisol reading is low.

What does shwarzbein say about low morning cortisol? are there supplements to take to fix the cortisol problems in the body? anything other than sleeping right and reducing stress to fix the problems? is that a main reason people have a difficult time losing weight?

any input on adrenal fatigue and low morning cortisol is appreciated!

thanks in advance!
