so is it possible when you start the keto  plan or you start intermittent fasting that  

you’re going to start spiking your adrenal  hormones and create more stress in the body  

the answer is no some people have the viewpoint  that yeah it appears to be stressful because  

you’re starving the body you’re starving the  body of glucose i mean what about the fat on  

our body an average thin person is walking around  with about a hundred thousand calories of fat on  

their body and it’s there to be used as a backup  for fuel we only actually have 1700 calories  

of stored glucose so it’s very logical that our  bodies were designed to run off fat between meals  

and so when your body starts adapting from glucose  to fat which takes about three days it’s not a  

pathological problem it’s a normal response to  just shifting your body from glucose to fat fuel  

now the stress hormone called cortisol has another  name it’s called glucocorticoid and you can see  

that glucose is part of that name because one of  the big functions of cortisol or a glucocorticoid  

is to keep your blood sugars from getting  too low but when your body is fully adapted  

to fat fuel and so what a glucocorticoid will  do it will release store glucose or even cause  

the production of glucose from protein or ketones  just to maintain your blood sugars but that’s not  

a stress event it’s a normal thing that occurs  in your body now there’s a little bit of this  

raise in that hormone when you go through this  three-day adaptation when you start ketosis  

but then it levels off now let’s just compare  what happens when you run your body in glucose  

you are activating the sympathetic nervous system  constantly it’s very stressful for the body it’s  

difficult for the body to go from one meal  to the next you’re constantly relying on  

food because you’re not able to tap into your  own fat and so you have this up and down up and  

down roller coaster ride but when you get  into full adaptation and get into ketosis  

you can go from anxiety or a stress state to  a much higher level of calmness and a state of  

well-being so burning fat being on ketosis is a  non-stressful state and once a person has adapted  

there is no study out there that shows that  you’re going to have high levels of cortisol  

now one last point i want to bring up is when  you do keto where you’re going on fasting make  

sure that you take electrolytes and b vitamins  because the requirement goes up for both of those  

categories of nutrients hey before you go real  quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment everyone is focused on  this over here avoiding your environment but what  

about here what about strengthening your immune  system that’s what’s missing this course will show  

you how to bulletproof yourself and so you can  tolerate and resist your environment much better  

by strengthening your own immune system i put  a link down in the description right down below
