intermittent fasting and cortisol
I had wondered what the relationship between intermittent fasting and cortisol levels were. I had asked before and got no replies. So I decided to search for myself. I found this paper which has some data.

The cortisol levels vary daily. It seems though that after about 18 hours of fasting the level rises above the maximum of the daily cycle. It doesn’t answer everything but it is a start.

Cortisol steigt während des Fastens. Der Stressforsche Selye beschrieb bereits in den 50er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, dass Fasten eine ähnlich gute therapeutische Wirkung wie Cortison hat – ohne die negativen Nebenwirkungen.
Dass Cortison aufgrund des Fastens gestiegen ist, konnte in Studien bestätigt werden. Fasten war erfolgreich bei chronischen Schmerzstörungen und chronisch entzündlichen Erkrankungen

👍 Cortisol levels increase during fasting. The stress researcher Selye already described in the 1950s that fasting has a similarly good therapeutic effect as cortisone—without the negative side effects.
The rise in cortisol due to fasting has been confirmed in studies. Fasting has proven effective for chronic pain disorders and chronic inflammatory diseases.
