    I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and was doing well on Naturthroid until I became pregnant 2 years ago, at which point I stopped taking this medication. About 6 months ago I retested my thyroid and my doctor stated that my thyroid function was healthy, possibly borderline however I did start taking 5mg of compounded T3, which I stopped taking over 4 months since I didn’t feel an improvement in my energy. Regarding symptoms, I do have irregular periods (anywhere from 21-28day cyles) and hair loss. I no longer am constipated (I take magnesium religiously and no longer take iron supplements).

    Regarding the melatonin, yes I eat tart cherries and walnuts daily in my salads.

    Thank you Daniel for taking the time to respond in detail. I have watched both videos. However, I am unclear as to where you see that I have more cortisone that cortisol. Are you comparing the specific numbers of Cortisol (A,B,C,D) with Cortisone (A,B,C,D)? If so, I reach the ranges as comparable but I am by no means an expert hence my question on this forum 🙂

    I can absolutely attest to having long term stress as most likely the main reason/contributor to low Cortisol (none of the other reasons apply to me).

    Regarding a) what inhibits cortisone to Cortisol, none of the items apply (I don’t drink coffee or ingest calming herbs or glucocorticoids, furthermore, my estrogen is not high) and b) increasing cortisol to cortisone (I did not catch how eldostirone or the like would cause an increase in this process)

    I do experience symptoms of insulin resistance: I went from almost never having headaches to experiencing them almost daily, memory issues (hard to recall words or conversations or memorize anything), and lastly a strong sugar craving (before 6 months ago my sugar cravings were close to none).
