so this question came up recently in my live  show does fasting actually increase adrenaline  

because a medical doctor says you shouldn’t  be doing fasting because it’s going to raise  

adrenaline and you’re going to be all stressed  out completely ridiculous now it is true  

that the pre-adrenaline hormone or  neurotransmitter because adrenaline  

and noradrenaline are neurotransmitters they’re  not hormones but they act like hormones but it  

has been shown that when you start fasting  your noradrenaline does increase about 48  

not 48 times 48 so it goes up a little bit but  also your metabolic rate goes up your resting  

metabolic rate goes up so fasting helps your  metabolism but think about what’s happening  

you are not eating so your body is going to  live on your fat you’re going through the  

state of ketosis you’re living on fatty acids  and ketones and in order to mobilize as fat  

you have to stimulate the fat burning hormones  and a neurotransmitter called adrenaline so  

adrenaline is there to mobilize the fat and it is  true that short-term fasting can elevate cortisol  

which is a stress hormone but that’s a normal  process when you don’t eat cortisol is one of  

the hormones and it’s called a glucocorticoid  because it helps you metabolize glucose but  

what it does is it helps mobilize stored  sugar so this is not a abnormal thing it’s  

just a normal thing to help you maintain  normal blood sugars when you’re sleeping  

so it’s one of the hormones  that’s involved in preventing  

hypoglycemia but long term cortisol decreases  if you’re doing fasting on a regular basis  

the fasting will increase not the flutter fight  sympathetic nervous system but it will increase  

the parasympathetic nervous system and this is why  people feel so calm and relaxed and stress free  

so the next time someone tells you that it’s going  to increase your adrenaline and stress you out  

just send them this video before you go  if you have a question about a product
