What I don't understand is why this means someone should regulate their blood glucose levels more than a normal person. Or not fast. Or the list of other recommendations.
Hi,
My understanding of it is that cortisol is a hormone produced when your body is stressed in some manner, and when your body is trying to maintain homeostasis.
Large fluctuations in blood sugar stress the body more than a steady release. More stress means more Cortisol production.
For someone who is adrenally fatigued, they would do best to reduce the amount of cortisol their adrenals is required to produce in order to minimise the load on the adrenals, and rest them somewhat.
Unfortunately, the digestive process also acts as a stressor, and requires cortisol production. Even thoughts generate some cortisol production. Unless they are all positive thoughts, in which case they may not!
