Ketosis in humans is an adaptive state, not a starvation state, and does not lead to increased cortisol or other sympathetic hormones.

“we just don't see adrenals going bonkers on a ketogenic diet your body adjusts”

“ketosis is not a fight-or-flight condition you know it's just not it's there's no sympathetic nervous system activation in ketosis”

“I think that when people acutely adapt there is some evidence for that but my impression is it doesn't happen long term and that those eventually normalize is that correct”

“if you look at it i think acutely in people who are in ketogenic diets cortisol will rise sympathetic nervous system goes up”

“getting carbohydrates will mitigate the increases in negative stress hormones cortisol glucagon catac colomines that happen when you go keto”
