Description

On today's episode I am sitting down with Dr. Karl Nadolsky and Dr. Saltzman, two board certified endocrinologists. We talk through:

  • Understanding cortisol: what it actually is and its essential functions in the body
  • The appropriate use and interpretation of cortisol testing
  • When cortisol levels are actually concerning vs. normal daily variations
  • Clinical signs and symptoms that warrant cortisol testing or endocrinologist referral
  • Be cautious about over-testing for cortisol without proper clinical suspicion
  • What's really happening when you feel exhausted - why "Adrenal Fatigue" is not a clinical diagnosis
  • Supporting healthy cortisol patterns naturally: evidence-based approaches
  • Cortisol and its impact on weight loss
