so this question came up recently in my live  show does fasting actually increase adrenaline because a medical doctor says you shouldn’t  be doing fasting because it’s going to raise adrenaline and you’re going to be all stressed  out completely ridiculous now it is true that the pre-adrenaline hormone or  neurotransmitter because adrenaline and noradrenaline are neurotransmitters they’re  not hormones but they act like hormones but it has been shown that when you start fasting  your noradrenaline does increase about 48 not 48 times 48 so it goes up a little bit but  also your metabolic rate goes up your resting metabolic rate goes up so fasting helps your  metabolism but think about what’s happening you are not eating so your body is going to  live on your fat you’re going through the state of ketosis you’re living on fatty acids  and ketones and in order to mobilize as fat you have to stimulate the fat burning hormones  and a neurotransmitter called adrenaline so adrenaline is there to mobilize the fat and it is  true that short-term fasting can elevate cortisol which is a stress hormone but that’s a normal  process when you don’t eat cortisol is one of the hormones and it’s called a glucocorticoid  because it helps you metabolize glucose but what it does is it helps mobilize stored  sugar so this is not a abnormal thing it’s just a normal thing to help you maintain  normal blood sugars when you’re sleeping so it’s one of the hormones  that’s involved in preventing hypoglycemia but long term cortisol decreases  if you’re doing fasting on a regular basis the fasting will increase not the flutter fight  sympathetic nervous system but it will increase the parasympathetic nervous system and this is why  people feel so calm and relaxed and stress free so the next time someone tells you that it’s going  to increase your adrenaline and stress you out just send them this video before you go  if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to know  how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i  have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the us hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
