I love cortisol! How else are you supposed to wake up in the morning? And inflammation is awesome! How are you supposed to build and repair your body? As Layne would say, the dose makes the poison, and there's a big difference between acute and chronic responses.
Man, my cortisol is high due to sleep apnea and I also have PCOS which makes me insulin resistant. IHOWEVER, I have lost 12 lbs in 3.5 weeks. I started at 335. DESPITE all those negative conditions working against me, a caloric deficit and 4x weekly exercise is working! My body looks different, I feel stronger, I'm walking faster. My blood pressure went down quite a bit after only 2 weeks of this journey. Hormones being wacky has not stopped the caloric deficit and exercise from working for me. No excuses, just grind.
That's so great! I have pcos and I almost fell for this cortisol thing. I was exhausted from training and still had my stubborn gut. The thing is, I wasn't ready to stop bingeing and eating sugary sweets. I'm now reducing my sugar intake and increasing protein and veggies.
Thank you for your content. I’m in Australia where Endos don’t help with HRT - especially for peri menopause- as they err on the side of caution. I had to find an MD that specialises in HRT to help me with menopause. I’m now on progesterone and DHEA (you can only get it in Australia with a prescription). I feel great. Took me 4 doctors to get one to help me (I’m 51). I asked my pharmacist for names of who prescribes HRT to finally find my doc.
I'm so sorry you had to deal with this problem, and glad you finally found treatment. It is really unfortunate that physicians today, in 2023, are still misinterpreting bad data from the early 2000s which falsely suggested that HRT caused a higher incidence of breast cancer im menopausal women, which in fact was entirely overblown and downright false to begin with (the causal factor was in bad progesterone, NOT HRT in general). The medical world is very conservative, sometimes a little to conservative.
This reminds me of that time a guy at the gym was convinced that his cortisol must have been out of wack because he was developing love handles. I told him he was just getting fat. He said that was impossible because he did not gain so much weight. I asked if he had done any proper strength training in the last 2 months. He did not. I am not sure if I changed his mind. It is easier to believe that getting love handles and losing muscle is up to the wheel of hormone fortune.😑
Was heading out the door to my high-intensity interval class when I got the notification for this video.😂Dunno, but I think my cortisol levels are still just fine, thanks!😂
I remember Jade Teta and his brother Keoni Teta from around 2011. I heard about them through Sean Croxton and his "The Dark Side of Fat Loss" book. "The Teta brothers each have a bachelor of science degree in biochemistry from North Carolina State University and hold doctorates in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University. Both are NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists and ACSM Health and Fitness instructors." Jade was previously married to Jill Coleman (JillFIt) and Keoni was/is married to Jillian Teta. (Yes, Jade married Jill and Keoni married Jillian.)
Sure thing... I’ve got a neighbor who certainly thinks that way, since once every three weeks it’s day one of his new resolution to exercise, beginning it very light and giving himself three weeks of rest to avoid overtraining. Not surprisingly, he’s only gotten rounder over the past nine years.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure there's a big difference between spiking or hormone temporarily and actually having elevated base levels of that hormone and I'm also pretty sure that it's the latter that is usually a problem and the former is normal and expected following stressful activities such as intense exercise
Layne I’m a huge fan. Genuinely. However, you can’t simply go to your dr and order whatever tests you want or suspect you may have an issue with. I’ve asked for vitamin D from my dr for over a year and he wouldn’t test me for it so I had to go to a functional medicine doctor. Apparently I am deficient in vit d but now I don’t even know if the test is actually legit since it’s saliva. And not a blood test like a I wanted. Unfortunately this is how healthcare and insurance is set up in the US. People want to optimize their health but insurance only fixes you when you’re already broken.
You can just order a blood test on your own and have it taken at a Quest or Labcorp. Yes you need to pay but cost depends on the test. Usually it's way cheaper than what a visit to a doctor would cost without insurance anyway.
that is sooo weird! in Poland I can contact my doctor and ask for a free blood test, and if she doesnt want to send me to a blood test I can go myself and pay for it whenever I want.
The only downside to intense exercise is not being able to afford the food and thus calories so I don't lose too much weight and my period like what happened this month. Ladies, be careful if you are prone to undereating or don't have much $ to spend on food. ❤
Sigh. I completely agree! Hormones can be an issue, and what is WEIRD is how people diagnose themselves or take some strange online test instead of going to a doctor. It's just bizarre!!! It's crazy if you're in menopause. I suspect folks don't understand how vital info based on YOUR bloodwork/tests is. You can seriously focus on fitness afterward b/c you feel 100% better. I just don't get it.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while, this one was brilliantly and tactfully made. You got a like and sub out of me!! These ND came out if the woodworks most of which I agree all have awful advice.
Doc Lyss Fitness does has a very scientific approach on hybrid training, especially for women. And pretty sure she advocates for intensity. Layne, y'all could co-lab! (Get it? Science..😉).
Great Video Layne! If you are concerned about stress from workouts. Take 3 to 10 minutes after a workout to just lie on a mat and do some box breathing. Ever since I heard Dr Andy Galpin talk about it in the podcast with Andrew Huberman about things that boost recovery I've been doing it consistently and while I don't know what happens to my body chemically. I definitely feel VERY good after and instead of leaving the gym still sweating and with a pounding heart I now leave as though I just came from a meditation retreat and I've never been to one lol! I definitely now feel that this has to be part of your training to round it off with a cherry on top!
@@Pazuzu-No it doesn't. He just said it feels good. I can't think of any person who wouldn't enjoy relaxing after training. Also, benefits to breath work and meditation are decently documented so he's got more evidence on his side.
So for perimenopausal women, is the cortisol scare telling us to avoid frequent high intensity cardio actually false? I am just going to keep at it because I like training hard.
I think he means continuous high intensity cardio where your HR is constantly above like 85% of max for too long (45 minutes or more). Think marathon, half and 10k runners. It's too stressful, you lose as much muscle as fat and you're probably more likely to be sedentary for the rest of the day and following day! If you do this AND try to restrict calories, anything you eat is more likely to be stored in 'panic'.
What does "stored in 'panic'" even mean? If you are in a high caloric deficit your body does not suddenly start storing more fat. The opposite happens.
'She probably exaggerates many things' There is a responsibility when you are in the public domain and go on multiple podcasts etc, to not exaggerate many things as you put it. If as Layne has said, Quote : She's wrong about alot of sh1t, then it seems her What The Fitness episode is now due

Could you give a few minutes on your opinion of DHEA & Niacin. I recently "took myself" off statins, went in the Na & DHEA, & I've had numerous positive, somewhat incredible results. I have based my truths, training and nutrition on your & the late John Meadows advice.
@biolayne people blaming T etc... the 2 main issue (hormones) that people have are ghrelin and leptin. And they can fix it doing something free... sleeping!
I'm one of those who suffers high spikes in stress hormone from hard training. Cardio is the worst. If it's steady state then I'm usually okay, if it's HIIT then I won't be able to sleep well if at all. Hard weight training also has this effect, but can be mitigated by taking longer breaks between sets. I live in the UK and they don't test for cortisol here unless you have other obvious symptoms like a large gut that's developed. And before anyone suggests remedies or "have you tried working out in the morning" - yes, tried it all.
Well, I have high cortisol almost every time I do a blood test, low thyroid, I was morbid 300 pounds (Now 166), and "miraculously", now I'm at 18% body fat and going down, so yeah, keep blaming your hormones. 😐
@@clintonmccool2330 thanks, and the secret that nobody wants to do or taking responsibility is calories in vs calories out, it doesn't matter what diet, lifestyle or whatever one's eat, is all about that, and I know since I tried all the diets (high carb, low carb, high fat, low fat,etc...) during all these years, and when I really started to track my calories, Everything started to go fine, but people underestimate how many calories they eat and over estimate how many calories they burn and blame hormones, genes, carbs, fats, etc... Best
Actually blood test cortisol is completely pointless. You would have to test in multiple times per day the test curve. Cortisol levels sure are not reason why they have issues.
I think you may be confusing naturopaths ND with doctors of natural medicine DNM. NDs have a lot of regulations, must be licensed and credentialed and prescribe drugs the same as MDs and DOs. DNMs do not.
I would love medicine to do some more research into menopause because there is something about menopause that this fluff and nonsense is trying to hint at. I’m an athlete. I strength train 3 times a week, Muay Thai train 9times a week and ride a bicycle everywhere, walk etc. I was 18% fat. Then menopause happened. My fat slowly rose. So I did what I used to do. Ate less. My weigh went up faster. Wtf? I did this until I was hardly eating anything, sweat smelling of ammonia when I trained and I stopped. Because I got the flu. Ate the same and no training. My fat started dropping. Ah ha! So I need to eat more? The calories in calories out wasn’t working because my hormones changed and suddenly I was under eating and overtraining? My body was no longer happy. So I started eating more and my fat was dropping. I went back to training (dropped Muay Thai to 3-4 times a week) and kept the rest the same and my fat percent is on its way down. Hormones has an effect but I’m not sure what it is because we’re just old women so medicine doesn’t care to do the research right? I would love to know why this happened to me and I think is happening to other women too which is why quacks like this get money from us when medicine fails us
It’s very under researched. Recent study was very revealing re Estrogen and the many paths it takes that control intake and output of calories. I see women cutting calories under 1200 and working out daily and still on a plateau. Maybe it’s all just internet anecdote and the scientists will dismiss it as such but so little is done for women over 50 to understand what is going on we have to get what advice we can from the few that say they can help. I do HRT, recently upped my Estrogen so it will be good to see where this stupid belly goes. I track every single calorie and lift and run and walk Get 400 plus active minutes each week and am consistent in keeping to a weekly deficit. The big belly remains so far even though I am BMI of 23. It’s so fricking ugly and I know it’s bad for my health.
My experience is similar. When I try to cut calories and exercise more I don’t sleep well or lose weight. If I eat in a slight calorie deficit and exercise moderately I sleep great and lose weight, albeit very slowly. Something does happen when female hormones drop, but I’m not an HRT candidate, so this is just the way it is for me. Maybe that is what this guy is trying to say. I don’t think we can just dismiss it.

I've been saying that Huberman is a fucking scam artist for a long time now. Just look at the type of people he surrounds himself with.

I agree 🧐
Which topics was he wrong about?
Huberman has put out a lot of great content. That said, I've often heard him blindly repeat incorrect information that he heard from other people.

😂 great watch. It's so dumb, It's literally funny. Keep them coming, Layne.
Chronic cortisol is bad. Increasing cortisol from excercise normally decreases overall cortisol to stop chronic cortisol issues
Did Layne see the podcast between Saladino and Assberry?
I think he means continuous high intensity cardio where your HR is constantly above like 85% of max for too long (45 minutes or more). Think marathon, half and 10k runners. It's too stressful, you lose as much muscle as fat and you're probably more likely to be sedentary for the rest of the day and following day!

Caffeine raises blood pressure so it is definitely a vasoconstrictor. Whoever told you otherwise straight up lied.
