@heyjoe415 I have a separate reply to you, but I just saw this video posted by Dr. Norwitz whom I follow. His style if pretty breezy, but his message and his science are pretty solid:

Thanks gloaming. I like this type of video with a unique and "breezy" delivery. It's very easy to follow compared to so many dry, clinical vids by doctors and surgeons - and it's a better way to convey an otherwise complex message/explanation.

I had no idea that stress can cause the liver to release sugar. I guess we all know stress is a) absolutely no fun and b) hazardous to our health. The best way I have to relieve stress is vigorous cardio exercise. I ran marathons in my 30s and 40s and now, with running in my past after two knee replacements, I spin 5x/week for 40 minutes, using the HIIT method, and that takes care of a to of stress.

The Catch 22 about stress is that it can be stressful to just think about how one can reduce stress. Gotta stay ahead of it though as long-term exposure is ruinous to health and mental well-being.

Thanks again!

Joe
