Our body is miraculous in everything . God is good🙌🏻

[CoachMarkBenge]

Interesting I've never thought of cortisol as a positive thing. It sounds here that cortisol is actually good for the body. The problem comes in when the body is constantly under stress and releasing too much. Thank you for the video 🥰🙏

Stress is killing me. I wake up with panic attacks every day. It's my job, my boss.

Excess training ruined my health and left me a physical and mental wreck...I finally understood the symptoms of overtraining, adrenal glands, Central nervous system, stress hormones, catecholamines, muscle weakness etc etc .. I stopped all exercises for 6 months until I had restored health and well-being and to give my body a chance to restore my Testosterone which I felt pretty good after around 6 or 7 months of total rest...

Can we mention that every time you have a cup of coffee, it triggers the release of stress hormones. Caffeine = stress

There is another way to explain:
stress is a situation when brain need more energy but it can't increase energy level immediatelly.
More energy mainly means more retinol (vitamin A) because ACTH is sensitive to retinol and energy production mainly depends on retinol and calcium.
If you examine cortisol according to retinol you can realize cortisol lower / off body functions to save retinol and brain can get more.
some examples:
building body fat from sugar => lower heating and decrease skin or other organ retinol supply because white fat tissues don't allow retinol to go through, white fat tissues send back retinol (blood retinol level will increase but organs behind fat tissues suffer from retinol defficiency; so blood retinol level will give false information).
blood pressure => nitric oxide production requires retinol
insomnia => sleeping requires retinol (this is a case when brain hasn't got enough retinol for some time)
muscle weakness & osteoporosis => cortisol blocks calcium absorption and blocks bone building because speed of ATP production depends on calcium content of mitochondria so it affects retinol utilization.
According the properties of cortisol we can identify vitamin D as the opposite hormone.
So you need vitamin D and vitamin A (+Ca, +Mg) together as for restoring what cortisol made.
The big question: D:A=? It seem D:A=1:1 is better than D:A=1:n n>1 (IU);

stress takes place in the limbic system, that area in specific is key to the production of pleasure, that's why stressed people releave they frustration eating ice creams or any sugar food in general.

so if u going on a diet, avoid stress
if u quitting porn, avoid stress
if trying to stop smoking avoid stress

stress comes from the news, from conversations that u rather no participate and much more.

hugs from brazil!! keep it positive.

And if you have too much of this happening over a long extended period of time, You can overwork the system and it can essentially break. And then you have low cortisol levels.
