Cortistat PS

If you are a serious athlete, one of your greatest concerns should be exercise-induced catabolism. Whenever you train hard, your body secretes cortisol. Cortisol has many functions, but many of them can work against you

When you train hard, your body secretes cortisol. One of the reasons this happens is to make the body selectively access and break down muscle tissue for protein and energy to protect the vital organs from starvation. Of course, for a properly nourished, high performing athlete, this is counter-productive. Cortisol also lowers immune response, making it easier to get sick. When cortisol levels get too high, you get weaker, sick, or over-trained. Sometimes even all three at once!!! One good thing that cortisol does is help your body control inflammation. In fact, high cortisol levels actually make you feel good. But don't let too-high cortisol levels erode your hard won progress.
