My cortisol, leptine and insuline levels are too high due too long periods of stress. - #34039
Meditation, relaxing did not lower it. Is there a natural way too lower them? I have an appointment with a specialist which will probably result in chemical medication and would love to handle it naturally

Hello lizzy ,
When cortisol leptin and insulin remain high for a long time, it usually means a body has been under stressed for too long and has been in alert mode. This can affect sleep and energy.

Continue the above medicines along with the alopathi medicine, but keep a gap of at least one hour between both.
