Diagnosed with hypothyroidism almost 2 years ago. Just now starting to get my levels to normal...finally found a good doctor to work with. I use the saliva test to check my cortisol levels...well they have been elevated this past year. Reading Cathe's article made me realize that my exercise routine is probably not helping. I really enjoy cardio workouts mixed with metabolic and circuit training. I exercise on average 60 minutes per day. I wonder if I need to cut back at this point and see if that helps my levels. I am on a few supplements to try and reduce my cortisol. Anyone else in a similar situation?
