Can someone explain to me the relationship with TRT and cortisol?
I have very high urine cortisol numbers and im trying to bring them down.
cortisol is around 140 normal being (0-50) ive ruled out cushings.
I recently started TRT (3 weeks ago) and i heard it can help lower cortisol as well.
 
If you can I would have the 4 x saliva test throughout the day to know how your adrenals are working throughout the day

I haven't done saliva tests during the day but i have done 3 saliva tests at night. they were all normal. Also a few serum cortisol, morning, night that were normal (one being slightly out of range high) also did a dexamethasone suppression test.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
