I think we talked about, we want to talk about insulin cortisol.

Insulin.

Where is it made?

And that's the thing.

It's an adrenal hormone, okay?

And it is a good thing and it's a bad thing.

Like if we don't have cortisol, we die.

Yeah, we need it.

People who have Addison's disease are like- Sick, sick, sick.

Yeah, they need cortisol to just like stay upright because their blood pressure is dependent on cortisol.

So like if you wake up in the morning

and you feel motivated and happy and like ready to go, that is your cortisol.

So like, that's good, right?

But we just want it to kind of trend down towards the end of the day.

And the problem with us in our modern society is that typically we get all these signs to trend down at the end of the day.

There's darkness and our bodies are programmed

So around sundown, you're kind of settling down for your last meal.

You're kind of getting these clues to kind of calm down.

You're not really doing many stressful things.

You can't.
