Thanks for the video. I watched it but need to see it again before commenting.

Just come back from my GP. I'm on the low carb high diet at the moment as I feel so much better.
Head is clear and I'm really motivated. Back to myself.

My only incorrect marker is high blood cortisol. Suggest range 170-500 nmol/L. Mine is 643. It has been 10-20 % above the maximum for over a year. My urine is also just as high.

The strange thing is, from 2 different sources, my saliva cortisol is normal.

I've made massive life style changes over the past year, stress reduction, diet, working conditions, sleep cycles but my morning cortisol level is always high. Has not changed.

Took one of those cortisol raising tables at night for 3 nights as suggested by the endocrinologist and that came back normal. No cushing disease.

My GP can't answer this. Any one have info on this ?

Congratulations and I hope you get your question answered by other members about the cortisol numbers. Best of luck and keep up the good work!

PS I do look forward to your comments after watching the video again.
