The Role of Cortisol in Energy Mobilization and Sleep Disruption
- Cortisol, released by the body, plays a vital role in mobilizing stored energy and maintaining blood glucose levels.
- However, high cortisol levels can interfere with sleep and result in the breakdown of muscle glycogen, fatty acids, and protein for fuel.
- Constantly being in a state of low carbohydrate intake can trigger the release of cortisol, potentially leading to insulin resistance. This is why individuals following keto diets or intermittent fasting may experience such issues.
- Chronic stress can have a profound impact on both our physical and mental well-being.
- Excessive stress can lead to various health problems and create resistance points.
- Women, in particular, may be more sensitive to stress due to higher levels of glutamate and a lower DHEA to cortisol ratio.
