Fasting->Cortisol->Adrenal Fatigue-
I believe I have some adrenal fatigue. Low cortisol from a lot of stress and pain from injuries. I have been taking supplements and resting a lot and my temperature is increasing and becoming more stable, still have some low days.
I read that low calorie diets can stress the adrenals, and lower cortisol. I've been going for 50 carbs/day and eating thru the day to help my adrenals. I'm not sure if lowcarb is relevant in to the adrenals.
I'm wondering if IFing would raise cortisol in someone like me, or does adrenal fatigue mean that the adrenals aren't able to raise cortisol?
