My result from my 24hr urine test came back as above. My cortisol measured during the times taken throughout the day were within normal range however my free cortisol is to high. What can i do to lower this? Im already taking pergnenalone as my hormones are low. I have to take this for 6 weeks then retest my thyroid labs. My functional med dr will prescribe me ndt.

your Serem test & did you do another later in the day ?
