I have hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. My cortisol is too low according to my bloodwork and I have been taking a supplement for support for a few months but I still wake up tired in the morning and I'm tired around 4 pm. I've had a lot of stress in my life due to circumstances. How can my cortisol be low? I'm taking Synthroid now since 3 months and my cortisol levels I still low I think. I have more energy but I still wake up tired in the morning. Do you have an idea how I can bring my cortisol back to normal levels?
Look up adrenal fatigue - the thyoirid and adrenals are closely connected. Too much stress and adrenal glands cannot compensate anymore. Worst case is that they are not able to produce adequate hormones anymore. Very important to treat thyoirid gland, too because that gland is the "queen" of all glands in the body. I have the same issue and am gathering info on this, too. I wake up at 00:00, 02:00 and 04:00 when I can sleep later I wake up at 01:00, 03:00 and 05:00 feeling totally battered...
@@KimChi-iy7jd thank you for your reply. Yes, the thyroid is the motor behind all functions in our body. I've changed my diet and I take thyroid medication (Synthroid) and supplements. It's very possible that my adrenal glands are exhausted. Cortisol and adrenaline plus other hormones are out of balance and it's so hard to get everything back in balance. Another very important thing to do is detoxing. But it's a long road to recovery. I've probably walked around with thyroid problems for decades. No doctor came up with the suggestion to have my thyroid checked until I went to a naturopath when I was 49 years. What helps me sleep is hemp oil. But I still wake up tired. I'm going to try a grounding sheet. Let's see if that helps.
@@brianlittrell797 There are no studies on taking moringa in that amount long term, therefore my general take on it is that use of it in that dose for up to 3 months with breaks would probably be safe but that is still unknown. Sorry I wish I could be more specific, however any herb with medicinal effects is generally better and safer when taken with breaks. Hope this helps!

Hi! you might find this video I did helpful to understand:th-cam.com/users/live5Do8qwRNw_4 Let me know your questions in the comments of the video!
Is it true that moringa is not good for someone with Hashimotos?
I did a search of the research and found nothing to suggest it would be problematic so long as it is not frequent or excessive use. Hope this helps!
@@dr.patriciamills Thank you. What is a safe and appropriate amount of moringa to take per day?
@@brianlittrell797 In the case of hashimotos that is not known!
@@dr.patriciamills I understand. For the average person is it safe to take two teaspoons of the powder a day?
