A cortisol to DHEA ratio higher than 0.5 may indicate that fasting could cause more harm than good. — Whalespan
A cortisol to DHEA ratio higher than 0.5 may indicate that fasting could cause more harm than good.

“if you're cortisol to DHEA ratio is higher than 0.5 fasting is actually might actually do a lot more damage than the good because obviously when you're fasting cortisol is going to rise even further and whenever cortisol Rises that further suppresses the the cities of DHEA and it's the cortisol to DHEA ratio which just like the um the muscle mass which by the way affects the muscle mass because one of them is a category the other one uh hormone the cause of the deitration is now recognized as the best predictor of both longevity and also morbidity so if that if that ratio is over 0.5 in other words if it starts going in favor of cortisol you're basically looking at initially cardiovascular disease so basically diabetes of neurological disease”

“would do a blood work analysis and see what the hormone levels are if you're cortisol to DHEA ratio is higher than 0.5 fasting is actually might actually do a lot more damage than the good uh because obviously when you're fasting cortisol is going to rise even further and whenever cortisol Rises that further suppresses the the cities of DHEA and it's the cortisol to DHEA ratio which just like the um the muscle mass which by the way affects the muscle mass because one of them is a category the other one uh hormone the cause of the deitration is now recognized as the best predictor of both longevity and also morbidity so if that if that ratio is over 0.5 in other words if it starts going in favor of cortisol you're basically looking at initially cardiovascular disease so basically diabetes of neurological disease and if it goes you know further higher eventually you're looking at things like cancer”

“If your cortisol to DHEA ratio is higher than 0.5, fasting is actually might actually do a lot more damage than than good. Uh because obviously when you're fasting, cortisol is going to rise even further. And whenever cortisol rises that further suppresses the the synthesis of of DHEA”
