I was reading how low cortisol can deplete your progesterone levels because your body starts to use progesterone to make cortisol. Also how high cortisol levels can lower testosterone. I'm trying to put the pieces together and use it to my advantage for my girl sway but as you've said, it's very complicated with all sorts of layers to it. I want to say that my best bet is to go for very low stress? I'm not sure I can make myself be chronically stressed. I feel like a lot of the girl moms i know aren't as reactive with their stresses but more quietly and chronically anxious and worried about things. I think I'm more of a quick burst of adrenaline and cortisol kind of a lady and then adapt if that makes any sense. :)
