Scott,
I came across the following when I was researching something else on PB. In this particular post (which I have copied), Ron Hill had some suggestions to reduce cortisol. Thought you might be interested.
> "Any help on bring cortisol down would help--alternative or mainstream. Thanks.
I'll just mention a couple alternatives here and then redirect to PB-alt.
In his book "The Cortisol Connection", Shawn Talbott, PhD recommends magnolia bark, l-theanine, epimedium, phytosterols, phosphatidylserine, tyrosine, and branched-chain amino acids for cortisol control.
I'm currently enjoying some benefit from l-theanine. It might help you, or it might not, but it’s likely worth a trial. Please read what is posted on this subject at PB-alt:

Good luck.
