Since I began doing this treatment, I have been losing weight steadily. I believe this is due to lowering my cortisol levels. Therefore, I am feeling the need to bulk back up so my girlfriend thinks I am manly. However, this poses a dilemma for me because exercise increases your cortisol levels. Phosphatidylserine should blunt those effects but my question is, will it be enough? Rather than risk losing my progress I am going to add another application before and after my workout. If the side effects of having low cortisol begin to manifest again I will drop down by 1 application until the side effects go away.
If I am not too lazy tonight I will shave my head and post some new pics.
Also, I picked up a peptide referenced in a tooth enamel regrowth article. I'm researching that and pondering how to best go about attempting that. I will post more on that soon.
Working out makes your cortisol levels go down unless you push your body EXTREMELY hard.
ReplyDeleteExercise at 60% or more of an individual's maximal
ReplyDeleteoxygen uptake (VO2max) is one of the physical
stressors that can cause an increase in the secretion
of cortisol (Bloom et al., 1976; Davies and Few,
1973).

It should also be elevated after exercise as your body repairs itself. Right now I am switching between P90X and CC running
