cortisol connection

[baleada1]

Hello,

I currently use neural synergy, isochronic, week 2, age over 21. I understand that quantum mind power uses a cortical-induced response to affect your brain. Now it also caught my attention that the brain naturally releases higher amounts of cortisol both in the early morning (about 4-8 am, 8 am being the highest). Will the effects of neural synergy be heightened or lessened depending on the time of the day?
I tend to do neural synergy on late evenings(between 6 and 8 evening) and i feel I have noticed somewhat stronger response than in earlier times of the day, but not at 8am when cortisol levels are highest.
My guess is that if neural synergy helps by inducing, or helping to induce the increase of cortisol that it would be less effective in releasing cortisol in the morning, as the body already has it at its highest levels. Then again, I haven't heard of cortisol overproduction from using brain entrainment software. Also, to point out if there is cortisol being released, and more cortisol is released through the quantum mind power, then it could also be that there are stronger releases, or a stronger effect from qmp. This is were I'm confused, which way to pick.
Any thoughts?

Hi Baleada1,

Cortisol is an important hormone in the body, secreted
by the adrenal glands and involved in the following
functions and more:

* Proper glucose metabolism
* Regulation of blood pressure
* Insulin release for blood sugar maintenance
* Immune function
* Inflammatory response

Normally, it's present in the body at higher levels in
the morning, and at its lowest at night. Although
stress isn't the only reason that cortisol is secreted
into the bloodstream, it has been termed "the stress
hormone" because it's also secreted in higher levels
during the body's 'fight or flight' response to stress,
and is responsible for several stress-related changes
in the body.

Small increases of cortisol have some positive effects:

* A quick burst of energy for survival reasons
* Heightened memory functions
* A burst of increased immunity
* Lower sensitivity to pain
* Helps maintain homeostasis in the body

While cortisol is an important and helpful part of the
body's response to stress, it's important that the
body's relaxation response to be activated so the
body's functions can return to normal. Unfortunately,
in our current high-stress culture, the body's stress
response is activated so often that functioning often
doesn't have a chance to return to normal, producing
chronic stress.

Higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol in the
bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress)
have been shown to have negative effects, such as:

* Impaired cognitive performance
* Suppressed thyroid function
* Blood sugar imbalances such as hyperglycemia
* Decreased bone density
* Decrease in muscle tissue
* Higher blood pressure

Lowered immunity and inflammatory responses in the
body, as well as other health consequences
Increased abdominal fat, which is associated with a
greater amount of health problems than fat deposited in
other areas of the body. Some of the health problems
associated with increased stomach fat are heart
attacks, strokes, the development of , higher levels of
"bad" cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of "good"
cholesterol (HDL), which can lead to other health
problems!

To keep cortisol levels healthy and under control, the
body's relaxation response should be activated after
the fight or flight response occurs. You can learn to
relax your body with various stress management
techniques, (like TMM - properly engineered BWE:)
and you can make lifestyle changes in order to keep
your body from reacting to stress in the first place.

I hope this clears things up and I'm here for you.
