When you have IR stress/cortisol will make it worse, treating "adrenal fatigue" through things that stimulate cortisol seems very unwise to me. And isn't one of the treatments DHEA which women with pcos have tend to have too much of? My opinion, for what it's worth, is that it's quackery --- dangerous quackery for women with pcos/ir. But everyone's got to make their own choices. Good luck Anne (who keeps her sodium low and feels great for it)
