hi guys in this video we want to talk

about the non stress cause of cortisol

now if you’ve been watching a lot of my

other videos you know that cortisol is a

stress hormone and it’s triggered by

stress

imagine stressed or physical stress so

mental stress or physical stress or

other body stresses but there’s another

cause too high cortisol that I want to

talk to you about and you guessed it

it’s high insulin all right now cortisol

is the counter hormone to insulin they

work opposing each other in a very

interesting way the name of cortisol

which is the adrenal hormone is a

glucocorticoid gluco meaning sugar

glucose or corticoid meaning the cortex

or the outer part of the adrenal so

there’s a inside and outside of the

adrenal and the outside cortisol is made

so basically one of the functions of

cortisol is to you know control blood

sugars in a certain way and this is how

they do it they turn your body protein

not just your muscles but your joints

your tendons your ligaments even the

structures inside the cell it starts to

mobilize that and turn that into sugar

as fuel because this is an emergency

hormone it’s a stress hormone it’s all

the long-term maintenance type functions

tend to turn off and all the quick

coping emergency actions are kick on

okay so increased blood glucose to your

your cells for quick energy mental

acuity very sharp thinking you know but

of course over time it’s going to go the

opposite because you’re going to end up

with diabetes and your brain fog but the

point is that this hormone turns protein

your own body into sugar and it also it

helps you absorb sugar so it forces the

glucose in the cell

it basically bypasses something called

insulin resistance and some resistance

did a lot of videos on that you’ve

probably seen many but I just want to

kind of give you another angle if you’ve

never seen this you I’ll put some links

down below on what insulin resistance

is but basically insulin resistance is a

problem in the receptor to insulin your

receptors are not receiving insulin

anymore so because too much insulin is

toxic to the body we don’t need a lot

your body will start to block it from

going in okay it’s just a survival

mechanism so you eat a lot of sugar you

eat too frequently you eat the wrong

foods msg and you spike all this insulin

right and then your body rejects it now

what happens is if it’s rejected the

cells start to close down and it doesn’t

absorb in front anymore so it’s kind of

a protective mechanism so you never get

the feedback loop to the pancreas so

there’s no off switch so the pancreas

senses oh the cells have low insulin we

better produce more so it produces five

to seven times more insulin than a

normal healthy person so here you have

the situation we have massive amounts of

unavailable insulin because it’s

unavailable to the cells the cells are

starving of glucose and sugar and

insulin but you have all this excess

insulin just pumping on everywhere else

and you have all these side effects I

mean cut cholesterol belly fat and a

bunch of other problems but inside the

cell where there’s a problem

so cortisol is then triggered to

compensate to force the sugar into the

cell as emergency type thing so you get

this higher level of cortisol that and

that gives you other bad effects like

destruction of protein like it goes

after your quadricep your muscles in

your thigh start going away your butt

you lose your butt so now you don’t have

a legs or skinny no butt and all gut so

in the other videos I talked about all

the things you have to do to avoid

stress to get this cortisol down so you

can be healthy and get your lean body

mass and prevent atrophy of the muscles

but you might not want to overlook this

insulin resistance problem you must

lower insulin to decrease the need for

insulin to then decrease cortisol all

right so I’ll put some links below if

you want to know what to do but

I just wanted to make that point thanks

for watching how about I’m not sure just

press it okay that’s kinda crappy

presses the script

why can I say subscribe sub scribe press

hey thanks for someone press the

subscribe button now I forgot what to

say I will see you in the next videos

press the subscribe button and I will

keep you updated on the future events
