How Cortisol F***s With Your Testosterone
There is a direct inverse relationship between these two.
And usually, cortisol reduction comes FIRST on your journey to High T, out of necessity.
An Important Thread
1) Chronic Stress Quite Literally Blocks Testosterone
Testosterone tends to be produced after many hours of rest, and low cortisol.
When your body is permanently on "alert mode", there's no time for rest.
Thus, no time for Testosterone secretion.
2) Cortisol Raises Blood Sugar
Sugar raises cortisol.
Cortisol raises blood sugar.
And you very quickly get an addictive, T-crushing cycle going.
Keeping the two "S's" down is critical - stress and sugar.
3) Cortisol Increases The Likelihood Of Insulin Resistance
Again, this is a trap.
The higher your blood levels of insulin get, the lower your T production becomes.
Then add a little extra stress, and it continues the cycle, and you need more & more insulin in response to meals
Fellas, the (chronic) cortisol needs to go.
You need a little bit in the morning.
But when your levels are high ALL DAY LONG, you're murdering your ability to achieve High T Status.
