Heavy cortisol production suppresses the immune system.

i always train with high intensity... so to even this out i usually take a week off from ANY training every 3-4 months

cortisol blockers are all the rage in many modern cyclers. Nice post Anya!

cortisol is very important as a hormone so i wouldnt wanna block it for any long length of time

it won't stay elevated throughout the day, eating for instance will produce an insulin secretion and take over...

but overtraining, or training when ill is bad for that reason! there are marathon runners who have kicked it because they ran while having flu so it is important!

So what about this new fat burner drug - Cortaslim. Apparently is surpresses Cortisone. What are the negative effects of it?

I can speak from experiance, I'm seriously considering quoting lifting totally.

I noticed this for a while now that I constantly got sick throughout the years often right after a heavy workout.


Due to working 72 hours a week, I hadn't lifted in about 8 months. Not once during that time did i get sick and this was while being around sick people frequently including my toddler son who as children do got sick a lot.

Worked out on Monday and Tuesday after an 8 month lay off and bam, I'm Fuckin sick on Thursday.

Pardon my grammar, cold meds plus posting from a phone don't mix.
