this has been reliably demonstrated to Tamp down the cortisol response now that data you've got to be careful if you look at it and read the studies which I have it's principally in athletes and they use an athletic performance intervention to Brute Force cortisol to go up and then they use this medication and it brings it back down but it is reliable I bring this up because we spoke about in our one of our episodes insomnia patients as they're trying to fall asleep cortisol is coming down just like it is in all healthy people and it drops low just as we're about to fall asleep but in insomnia patients it spikes back up again and then it does in the middle of the night so here is a medication that one could try to try to temp down that cortisol specifically as you're going into sleep and that may be of helped too
