Alright boyos, now that I've killed most of the DHT in my body cortisol is next in my crosshairs. I feel like this is imperative for both looksmaxxing and not being a mentalcel. Negative effects of cortisol:
-higher blood sugar
-suppressed immune system
-acne
-weight gain
-rounding of face
-thinner skin
So its shit for your skin, body, and face as well as making you a nervous fuck who becomes a stuttering mess in uncomfortable situations, wew! We're even also seeing signs that it fucks you cognitively over time. How do we lower cortisol? I have on my list right now ashwagandha and buteyko breathing. Some people are saying fish oil and vitamin c as well. I also found a study that demonstrated a 40% reduction in baseline cortisol on average with a 2000ui/day supp of vitamin d.
What do you guys think?

Serious post now :

Try sleep regular (7-8 hours ED go sleep at same time every day and wake up same time every day)
Dont use phone , tv , pc etc 1h before sleep (dont use blue light)
Gymmaxxing
Reduce junk food
If u watch porn and fap a lot try to reduce it to minimum (dopamine and cortisol are highly correlated)
Dont use alcohol and stimualnts a lot (using alcohol and stimulants in long term will boost ur cortisol to next lvl) , adrenal fatigue = maximum cortisol
Nature is the key , go to park , forest , beach etc. , maximum sun exposure every day . This is best natural cortisol killer.
Listen a of lot music u like

and most important DONT SPEND ALL DAY ON THIS SITE

Good question, I'm not exactly sure. If I had to guess I would suppose it has to do with fat distribution.
 
Alcochol is the answer

Cortisol causes inflammation and bloat. Common for people who run too much tren. Even though tren suppresses cortisol it also binds to cortisol receptors and has while it doesn't have the muscle wasting effect of cortisol it can still cause other side effects of high cortisol from doing so.

But it leads to inflammation, yeah? This confuses me. How is it anti-stress?
Sugar is basic fuel. As such, it requires proper nutrients and circumstances in order to fulfill its purpose. Sugar causes "inflammation" only if your body is already dysfunctional, that is, you have excess serotonin, estrogen and are partly fueled by cortisol or adrenaline, or you are deficient in vitamins and minerals that support oxidative metabolism.

Glucose increases metabolism by encouraging the liver to convert T3 into T4, and an increase in metabolic rate is nearly always an increased state of health. Sugar also lowers ACTH, which is a stress hormone produced by the pituitary. Interestingly, in a study with mice drinking Coke freely (the classic sucrose one, not the american HSFC coke) allowed the mice to quadruple their caloric intake without gaining additional weight.

Most who parrot the "sugar causes inflammation" rhetoric can hardly even explain what inflammation is supposed to mean or how sugar is supposed to cause it. The assertion as a whole is largely nonsensical, too generalized and devoid of substance.

It's a well-accepted fact that sugar increases inflammation markers within the body. Sugar also drives insulin resistance which is also linked with inflammation in the long term. As for demistfying inflammation, its simply a bodily response associated with certain mechanisms of action as well as markers, both biochemical and macroscopic, that is designed to aid in healing injury or disease, however in the long term inflammation is damaging to tissues if not curbed and it also makes you look fucking horrible. Generally speaking the less inflamed you are the better, not just because being less inflamed indicates less of a need for healing but because chronic inflammation is damaging.
A lot of nonsense in your post that I don't have the inclination to address but suffice to say I think pro-sugar people are completely bonkers.

Stress hormone produced by adrenal glands that fuels the fight-or-flight response. In the right levels it is necessary but its too high for too long it will fuck your shit up, can even prevent growth. Of course in this fucked up modern age we're all stressed as fuck on average so lowering it is a good idea imo

This doesn't really mean anything. It merely sounds fancy.

Nothing in nutritional science is universal, everything depends on the context. Your assertion is too vague to be accurate. There are contexts in which your statement would be valid, and contexts in which it would be painfully misinformed. Are you able to provide a fitting context for your claim?

Don't get smart with me. Nothing in my post is nonsense. You don't know how to reconcile the facts I have presented with the incomplete and faulty frameworks you are operating from.

Bro tbh you aren't worth debating with, you come off very anti-science. If you think that a marked increase of inflammation markers in the body indicates nothing and merely "sounds fancy" then idk what to tell you, you're living in the stone age. Believe what you want, I won't be pursuing this conversation.

You say sugar, but later you mention only glucose. You realize the sugar that we eat is 50/50 glucose and fructose? And that fructose is a toxin, since it has almost the same metabolic path as alcohol?

Glucose and fructose are both sugars. You are confusing the general term 'sugar' with the product we call table sugar.

And that fructose is a toxin
Warning: critical level of nonsense.

since it has almost the same metabolic path as alcohol?
If by 'almost' you mean that they are both processed by the same organ, fine. That's where the similarities stop, though. Alcohol is broken down by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase into acetaldehyde, which is then broken down further into acetate, and eventually into CO2 and water. Fructose is phosphorylated by fructokinase, from which it is further refined into various forms.

Which then overload liver cells' mitochondria, produces fuckton of citrate, which then gets converted to VLDL, which gives you visceral fat and a lot of problems down the line. And its very hard to eat just a moderate amounts of sugar, since it is very addicting. So it's just better to drop it, unless at the very least ingested with good amount of fiber, which slows down the absorption of fructose, and lets your liver catch up, so if you have to eat sugar just eat fruits. But still, it is not that healthy.

Ha. This is a delightfully hyper-conditional statement. It is akin to saying: water will nourish a tree that will be carved into a club that your neighbor will then use to beat you to death. Conclusion: water bad, right?

Correction: there is nothing to fructose in itself that overloads the mitochondria. Were there any negative effects to consuming fructose, the poison would be made solely by the dose. Moreover, the only means of consuming pure fructose is to buy a bag of fructose, as no natural sources exist. Note that the presence of glucose and other sugars in all fructose containing foods invalidates any and all arguments that are based on research conducted on pure fructose, since all sugars influence the metabolization of each other significantly. I am afraid you have been consuming junk science, mr Fosty. Fear not, betamanlet is here to illuminate your mind.

And its very hard to eat just a moderate amounts of sugar, since it is very addicting.
There is no such thing as sugar addiction any more than there is H2O addiction. If your cells lack the means to produce energy, you will crave abundant sources of energy. Since sugar is the most concentrated form of cellular energy that your palate knows, it is easy to get into the habit of fulfilling your energetic needs with it. Make no mistake: this is no more than simple conditioning. There is no addiction.

So it's just better to drop it, unless at the very least ingested with good amount of fiber, which slows down the absorption of fructose, and lets your liver catch up, so if you have to eat sugar just eat fruits.
Though I commend Fosty for this helpful advice, it is little more than empty words. "Letting the liver catch up" does not really mean anything at all.
