Cortisol

I believe I may suffer from a bit of high cortisol, due to lots of stress on a daily basis.

Is there anything one can take or do to lower cortisol levels?
 
I actually have the same problem! 2 year old twins and a 4 year old.. all boys. It's a madhouse when I get home. I researched for about 6 hours the 2 days ago (from 2am to 8am b/c cortisol doesn't allow you to sleep.. ha) and came up with this:

Amazed at ignorance: Cortisol and Phosphatidyl serine


DHEA is supposed to counteract it too:

DHEA

Besides DHEA, your adrenals also make the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. Adrenal exhaustion from coping with chronic stress ***8212; from (among other things) poor nutrition, yo-yo dieting, emotional turmoil, and job-related stress ***8212; means your adrenals are bone-tired from pumping out cortisol and they simply can***8217;t manufacture enough DHEA to support a healthy hormonal balance. The end result? You feel tapped out, overwhelmed and, often, depressed.

DHEA and adrenal fatigue

Some DHEA is made from sweet potatoes or something, you're supposed to get the kind that the doc would prescribe. I looked for pharmaceutical grade DHEA, but I'm not sure if this is the right kind so I didn't buy it. If I find one for sure I'll post it:
