Can having low cortisol lead to decreased metabolism and hypothyroid symptoms? Or is it the other way around, i.e. low thyroid will lead to low cortisol?
I notice I don't react well to high-magnesium foods and magnesium supplements (very cold, fatigued), which has been suggested may mean low cortisol. In the morning, the side effects are especially bad. I know that I need magnesium as I don't get enough from food and want to take at least some vitamin D but those crappy symptoms prevent me from doing so. Potatoes are also very bad in that regard.
If I left weights and increase my heart rate, I may start feeling a tiny bit better for a short period of time, and then it all spirals downwards again. May all this result from overtraining in the past?
