I recently did some reading on the hormone cortisol because of the cortislim ads. I thought it would just be a bunch of junk. But if I understood what I read, cortislim is only going to work for people who have over produced cortisol because of a condition. Stress makes your body create more cortisol, but if everyone who had stress was fat, the WHOLE world would be fat, right??? I also read that people with other hormonal abnormalities may benefit from something like cortislim, because these abnormal hormone levels consistantly keep cortisol levels up. The information, not the informercial is available online. (the informericial is as well, but thats a little biased!). I do take a hormone that raises cortisol levels and I plan to try cortislim out of curiousity. I'll keep y'all posted!
