While cortisol helps adrenalin to kick in, its physiological effects take much longer and it causes the body to draw upon muscle proteins as a source of energy. Over time, chronically elevated cortisol levels destroy muscle fibers, suppress immunity, affect memory and concentration, weaken bone mineral density and contribute to cancer.

Hypoglycemia, cravings, fatigue, mood changes, PMS, low s*x drive or sleep disruption can all be subtle signs of hormonal imbalance. We should thank our body for these helpful clues because they tell us we need to take necessary steps to get back in balance through better nutrition, exercise, supplements, stress recuperation and even altering the way we think.

Making the Best of Things

By eating high glycemic and delivering the insulin spike in one fell swoop, your blood sugar levels will fall quickly during sleep. Before too long, the growth hormone bursts will begin, but they’ll be augmented by the insulin spike and subsequent drop of blood sugar levels below baseline.

Testosterone

WHAT ARE SOME NATURAL WAYS TO INCREASE TESTOSTERONE?

1. Sleep
- Take supplements that aid in sleep such as melatonin and ZMA (more on ZMA later).
- Avoid drinking liquids 2-3 hours before bed.
2. S*x
S*x also has an impact on testosterone levels.
It is ideal to have s*x at least once a week to maintain high testosterone levels. It is known that your testosterone levels rapidly drop if you haven't "released" in over a week.
3. ALCOHOL REDUCTION
Alcohol should be avoided when trying to increase testosterone levels.
4. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
You must train hard and for a very short period of time.
Deadlift, Bench press, Clean and Press and especially the Squat must be a staple in your routine if you want high levels of testosterone.
5. S*xual activity is not only psychologically satisfying it is very good for your physically. S*xual activity raises your level of endorphins in the body, which in turn stimulates testosterone production..

Testosterone is what drives us to aggression and the will to compete. It also is what aids in the accomplishment of these goals, by increasing muscle mass

Cortisol

It is excess cortisol that is the problem for bodybuilders not cortisol per se. The dangers of excess cortisol are:

Reduced growth hormone, and testosterone output.
Osteoporosis.
Reduced muscle and increased abdominal fat.
Impaired memory and learning.
Reduced glucose utilization.
Impaired immunity.

Insulin

Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use.

IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1)

IGF-1 is secreted by the liver during periods of low blood sugar. In addition, a variation of IGF-1 called mechano-growth factor (MGF) is produced in response to intense exercise, like weight training or sprinting. MGF acts primarily upon skeletal muscle tissue to bind satellite nuclei into the muscle cells (sarcomere). This elicits growth of the myofibril, resulting in a stronger, larger, harder muscle.

Growth Hormone

Growth Hormone (GH) is a hormone responsible for cellular growth in the human body. Throughout the day, GH is synthesized, stored and secreted by the anterior portion of the pituitary gland. Factors such as low blood sugar, sleep, and exercise stimulate the hypothalamus to produce and release hormones that increase growth hormone synthesis and release in the pituitary gland.
On the other hand, elevated blood levels of cortisol, glucose and even growth hormone itself decrease production and secretion.

Sleep and Hormones ,

Dysfunctional sleep can lead to chronically elevated cortisol levels and low levels of growth hormone, resulting in poor body composition and overall health.
Eat protein and good fats during the day to keep insulin levels low, your blood sugar stable, and growth hormone up.
Eat carbohydrates at night to maximize fat burning and anabolic signaling during sleep. Don’t go to bed hungry!
Once you’ve developed a routine, stick to it and eventually it will become second nature.
Cut back on stimulants (like caffeine and energy drinks) when you’re trying to regulate your sleep cycles. Excessive use can really aggravate the problem. In general, try to avoid coffee after the morning is over and make sure you drink plenty of water.

Leptin

One week of dieting can lower your leptin by 50%. for weight loss, leptin is lowered to an extreme level affecting the body’s ability to mobilize fat and keep hormones at healthy libido levels. This is where a big helping of sweet potatoes and bananas after a day of low carbohydrate dieting can actually spur fat loss, because you have now opened the door for leptin again and it mobilizes fat as a result

Reactive hypoglycemia, or postprandial hypoglycemia

Reactive hypoglycemia, or postprandial hypoglycemia, is a medical term describing recurrent episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia occurring within 4 hours[1] after a high carbohydrate meal (or oral glucose load) in people who do not have diabetes. It is thought to represent a consequence of excessive insulin release triggered by the carbohydrate meal but continuing past the digestion and disposal of the glucose derived from the meal.

Blood glucose levels and Growth Hormone , HGH

Blood glucose levels have to decrease to less than 3.58 mmol/L (64.5 mg/dl) for growth hormone, epinephrine, and glucagon to be released to maintain energy metabolism
