What if your training isn't what causes you to be over-trained? And does this put women at greater risk? PLUS For years people have said obstructive sleep apnea causes lowered testosterone. This study says not. But it does cause a change in a hormone that is worrisome. PLUS Anxiety generally begins in adolescence and for some stays around through adulthood. Should physicians ditch the Xanax and start turning to Interventional Endocrinology?

Show Notes:
[4:30] Overtraining is more of a matter of undereating or under recovery.
- Cortisol is highest between 6-8 a.m.
- It decreases around midday.
- Pre-bed is the most important time to squelch cortisol.
[6:33] Overtraining can be signaled by eating patterns regardless of training patterns.
- Women are probably more at risk due to fear of weight gain.
- A by-product of over training syndrome is continued increase of visceral fat.
[12:21] Cutting calories is not a good strategy when you are under a lot of stress.
[14:30] Stress may not decrease testosterone, but it may decrease effectiveness of testosterone.
[16:28] Study on 48 hour shiftwork for interns.
- After 24 hrs of no sleep, TSH plummeted.
- Lack of sleep suggests a hostile environment.
[18:28] Food sources, volatile organic compounds, halogens, and thyroid hormone.
- Halogens are very electronegative and compete with Iodine in the thyroid.
- Thyroid issues usually have a sex hormone issue that follows.
- If you are going to eat more, eat more protein and then healthy starches.
[21:36] Obstructive sleep apnea and hormones.
- May not decrease testosterone, but it possibly disrupts the hormonal processes.
- Higher levels of cortisol were observed in the apnea group.
- This interferes with blood sugar management.
[31:20] Fasted insulin
- Poor sleep will make you insuligenic.
- Sleeping drugs do not help and are linked to Parkinson’s, dementia, Alzheimer’s, etc.
[39:52] Children and schizophrenia.
- There may be a testosterone component to it.
- As melatonin drops, puberty kicks in.
[46:56] Anxiety and hot flashes from hypoglycemia.
- A keto diet can lower this because blood sugar could be stabilized.
[59:08] DHEA’s role in hormonal production.
- Can help improve sleep quality.
[1:00:22] Can DHEA be taken at night?
- This could decrease melatonin production.
- The dosage depends on your current levels.
- TRT warrants DHEA supplementation.
- It absorbs better with fats.
