Lotus,

I've been reading about the adrenal axis dysfunction and how nutrition plays a big role too. I eat 80% organic and whole foods, but I realised even tho I eat good carbs, I do eat a lot of fruit: 5-6 pieces everyday. Ew, should I cut down a bit in order to control de fructose levels? What do you think?

Hi sweets,

Which kinds of fruit do you eat?. Do you consume them pre or post workout?. 

Personally I stay away from bananas (22g sugar) & mangos (27g sugar)

Check out those nutritional databases online, very helpful in determining food facts. Carbs from fruits are easier to metabolize over HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). Strawberries, grapes, watermelon are good NBE fruits, avocados too (it's a fruit). 

I think you'll be okay with your workout regime, meaning you'll convert that extra glucose into energy rather than store it as fat. Chances are you're generating enough IGF-1 naturally from the feedback to the hypothalamus/pituitary axis. I feel bad for the people who spent $80.00 to $100.00 on MK-677 and saw no improvement. More than likely they were inhibiting GH (growth hormone) from a negative feedback loop resulting from over stimulating IGF-1. In other words too much IGF-1 inhibits GH release.
