I have read that getting sunlight upon awakening and perhaps delaying coffee until a little later in the morning can reset your circadian rhythm and boost your adrenal function. I have also read that Vitamin C and Bromelain 1 gm each daily can support the adrenals. I think I get enough Vitamin C in my diet. Bromelain is highest in pineapple which I eat less frequently because of its high sugar content.
Anyone else found anything to help support the adrenals and help our natural cortisol production? I’m looking for any functional and natural supportive means to get off of Prednisone effectively.

That's awesome. I totally agree that morning light stimulus, activity, and diet stimulates Cordisol.
However my new Endocrinologist was able to clarify for me that the body when in a healthy state requires a little less than 5mg
of Cordisol. So Clinically
speaking, as long as the
Prednisone is supply 5 mg or
more, whatever we stimulate
won't be generated. However
he stated that "instinctively" he
would anticipate that a
minimal Cordisol is produced,
and more significantly, that
cordisol producing activities
keeps those pathways open and
stimulated for when we do get below 5mg and want to see the body take over.
Dr. Andrew Hubberman is a Neurologist/Optomoligist who discussed the neural transmitters in the back of the eye that stimulate Cordisol.
Here are two of his videos, and two from a "Dr. C" that I believe are credible and helpful:
