QUESTION: Hi. I recently had some blood work done when I went in for my physical and my doctor told me that my cortisol levels are on the high end. I work out hard 6 days per week, lifting and cardio together. I haven’t seen much in terms of muscle gains the past few months. Now that I know my cortisol levels are high, I’m wondering if I might be overtraining? I actually have 2 questions for you. 1. How do I know if I’m overtraining? And 2. How can I lower my cortisol levels? Thanks in advance!
