SEPTEMBER 4th CHALLENGE REGISTRATION LINK In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss the effects of cortisol on metabolic health and its relationship with insulin resistance in their "Fasting for Life" podcast. We highlight that while fasting can increase cortisol levels in the short term, it benefits long-term insulin control, which is crucial for metabolic health. We present the concept that chronic high insulin states disrupt cortisol regulation, exacerbating stress and leading to metabolic syndrome. The episode concludes with actionable advice on lowering cortisol through lifestyle changes, such as consistent fasting, prioritizing sleep, engaging in moderate exercise, and stress-reducing practices like meditation and spending time in nature.
