hi guys had another question is

intermittent fasting stressful to your

adrenals okay

someone was concerned about doing in a

minute fasting because they didn’t want

to stress their Greenhills out because

they heard that doing in a minute

fasting will spike cortisol which is one

of the adrenal hormones okay so let me

just sort this out because you have to

look at the big picture of what’s

happening now when you fast you could

end up with a low blood sugar situation

and cortisol normally comes in there to

raise the blood sugar to counter

hypoglycemia or low blood sugar it’s not

an abnormal thing that’s what the

adrenals are supposed to do counter low

blood sugar it’s kind of like saying

would inflammation be stressful to the

adrenals well no because the adrenals

are the anti-inflammatory to help you

recover or would infection be stressful

to the adrenals now if you’re doing

intimate fasting and you end up with a

low blood sugar that needs the help from

cortisol and it’s not working that well

and you notice symptoms now when you

have insulin resistance you have a

higher level of fasting insulin okay so

that’s going to be pushing the blood

sugars down so in a manifesting is not

something that is going to stress the

adrenals out it’s a tool to fix the

insulin resistance however you might

need to support your adrenal x’ to also

help the stabilization of blood sugars

and preventing the blood sugars from

going too low alright thanks for
