Cortisol and testosterone correlation

[JackD]

I was blown away yesterday doing some research on cortisol and testosterone when I learned that if you have high levels of cortisol it will inhibit testosterone….

This is just one article, but what does everyone do to keep cortisol lower if you have a lot of stress in your life from job, family, and life?

There was a guy on the board - gotgame I think that freaked me out when he posted he would do prednisone once weekly to reduce inflammation when training hard.
I found some references to it on the web with some interesting results:

Could Weekly, Not Daily Prednisone Represent A New Approach to Obesity Therapy?

A new study in high fat diet-fed mice showed that weekly prednisone promotes nutrient uptake into muscles, and improves lean body mass and exercise tolerance.

I got some of delayed release prednisone from a friend on WCBB and tired it a few times and it seemed to make a difference although I did not keep up with it, I did notice that my joints felt incredible.
Going to retry it again to see if it will help.

Interesting thread..I would like to hear some alternatives for lower cortisol.
I take ginseng, liquorice root and astragalus to help.
When I remember I also take Iron Legion Invictus:
"Androstene-3 beta-7 beta-17 beta-triol) — a powerful cortisol modulator and immune boosting agent"

Yep, I take 12 mg of boron a day to help with cortisol. I put my wife on it and she noticed a difference pretty quick.

I have found boron works better than proviron for SHGB. Cheap and effective.

That is originally what I took it for, SHBG.

I use Triple Boron Complex. The brand I was using is no longer available, so I will probably switch to Swanson or Now Foods. 6 mg in the morning and evening.

I may give that a try. We go through super stressful periods at work and I can imagine how high my cortisol levels get. This might be just what I need.
