Metabolizing Cortisol
There’s so much talk about cortisol these days but after completing a DUTCH test and seeing that my metabolized cortisol (THF + THE) is super low while my free cortisol is within normal range, I have discovered that there is little to no information on how to improve this relationship. Are there “ways” to improve cortisol metabolism? I’m awaiting a consult with my Doctor but always appreciate your insight and expertise. Thank you!
Through glass and black out shades
I am confused by information on your sight. Your sight says - "Contacts and eyeglasses (even those with UV protection) are fine to wear when viewing morning sunlight. However, don’t use sunglasses or blue blockers during morning sunlight-viewing — you won’t get the maximum effects from the morning sunlight.... Note: trying to do all this through a windshield or window won’t work; too many of the relevant wavelengths are filtered out." Will light through your apartment window help you wake up? Do you want shades to go up before you walk up even if your window is closed? I have a 15 year old who insist you are saying that the light won't help if the windows are closed. Are you saying turning lights on better than natural light through a window?
Dr. Rhonda Patrick on magnesium threonate
I'm taking Mg-threonate based on your recommendation. Dr. Patrick had a youtube video on Mg-threonate that said it was poor at increasing Mg levels. If one needs to boost Mg levels should one take two separate Mg supplements? Thanks. Love all that you do to educate us. Am a urologist who am learning more now than I did in medical school.
