[QUOTE="Anonymon, post: 210935, member: 42608"] I’ve had higher rT3 before on tests, but lowering it didn’t really do anything for me. My problem’s always been low cortisol. The best Rhodiola I’ve used is the Gaia Herbs kind. Very low concentrated dose, but I get more out of it. I‘ve tried different dosing schemes too. I actually find Rhodiola makes my sleep issues worse only if I’m not taking enough of it, which for me coincides with a headache before bed. I also do better when eating very large amounts of protein, regardless of my other macros. I’ve seen studies where higher protein meals increased cortisol output in the time period following the meal, so it could be that. Or I might just be burning through my protein faster since I have low cortisol. Having the rhythm of cortisol is important, but your overall output over a 24 hour period is what’s most important. If you are just low in the AM by a little bit, but high otherwise, then I envy you. Hope your new protocol works out! [/QUOTE]
