Hi. There is not a way to test for the genes at the time. There are a number of things that can be done to help lower the burden on the 21 hydroxylase enzyme (which is involved in cortisol production), support someones physiology and lower the stress response. That could mean addressing toxicity, inflammation and nutrient imbalances, but it can also mean lowering daily stress and lowering the stress response in the body. There are a number of ways to do this, often needed in combination, including things like limbic system retraining, accessing the vagus nerve, EMDR and other therapies, mindfulness. There is a website ( https://www.rccxandillness.com/) and Facebook group run by Dr. Sharon Meglathery that you might be interested in.
Is there a way to test for the genes and most importantly, can anything be done?
