[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 112388, member: 15043"] The reason I started TRT was extreme brain fog and losing my zest for life. Not sure if this is related to cortisol or not. On HCG I really don't know how it effected me cortisol wise, but I do know that it didn't really help with the brain fog or give me my zest for life back. Overall on HCG mono I felt about the same, just had increased sex drive and nipples were itching like crazy. After years of TRT, I still have the brain fog. I currently think it's due to very low magnesium RBC, as it's been low on multiple blood tests. I think also the low cortisol does have something to do with it tho. From the very beginning, even before treatment, I've always had very high out of range DHEA-S levels. And they've stayed high throughout treatment, while never supplementing with DHEA. I've read that this could be due to being in a certain stage of adrenal fatigue. I believe they say when DHEA is high, cortisol is usually low. They are antagonistic from what I remember. So I think adrenal fatigue is probably part of the problem for me, along with the low magnesium. Both are contributing factors to my issues I think. Thats interesting that u say magnesium lowers cortisol. That sucks for me since one of the most important things you can do for your health is have healthy magnesium RBC levels. How can u tell that magnesium lowers your cortisol? And what I'm doing to help my adrenals naturally and get my cortisol up is going outside and getting sunlight in my eyes as soon as I wake up. I read it helps reset your circadian rhythm and then your body will start to make more cortisol in the mornings like it's supposed to. I also read for adrenal fatigue it's important to eat within an hour of waking, and eat small frequent meals. Opposed to what I was doing before which was intermittent fasting and eating 2-3 meals. I guess this is a bad idea for people with adrenal fatigue. Lastly, I take an “adrenal ****tail” twice a day.
