Episode notes
Strategic Caffeine Use
- Use caffeine strategically to maximize benefits and minimize negatives, like increased cortisol.
- Avoid using caffeine just to feel normal, as this indicates dependence and overuse.
HPA Axis Dysfunction
- Adrenal fatigue, now called HPA axis dysfunction, reflects a hormonal imbalance affecting the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands.
- This imbalance can lead to stress intolerance, hindering the body's ability to adapt to exercise and diet changes needed for muscle building and fat loss.
Managing Adrenal Fatigue
- Avoid caffeine and high-intensity workouts if experiencing adrenal fatigue/HPA dysfunction.
- These can exacerbate the issue by further increasing cortisol and creating insulin insensitivity.
