Hello I'm a protein type and I workout 3-5 times per week. I eat a perfect diet for my metabolic type as well as suppliment protein type specific multi + enzymes. I noticed that when I strength train it causes insomnia for 1-2 days after I train. For some reason my body released to much cotisol when I exercise and no matter how perfect I eat my body is unable to rebound it appears. As soon as I stop woking out for a few days my sleep is perfect again but every time I workout It causes insomnia. Any help would be appreciated.

HI

 I have the same problem. How do you know to much Cortisol is released and why does this keep you awake? Hunger or what?

Thanks

Hi

My son has just started on his workout routine again. And he, too, has problems with insomnia and is enormously hungry. I am thinking it might have something to do with the lactic acid buildup, would you agree, Dr Mercola?

Hi Wallace,

Cellular oxidative stress from exercise causes lactic acid buildup. This may cause slow

recovery. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week, workout hard for an hour ( no treadmill or

bicycle ), never have sore muscles, recovery problems, sleep problems, even if it is a week

between workouts. You might check out the opinion of Dr. Carlon Colker on Protandim

at Lifevantage.com.

Best,

Lanny

Taking Glandulars as well as eating high cholesterol foods solved this problem for me. Cholesterol converts to all the anti stress horomones and help you recovery as well as glandulars. The secret I learned is eating foods like BRAIN which is by far the highest containing cholesterol food in the world helps you tolerate and recover form infinite amount of any stress including olympic 2-3 hour workouts. If you want to chang your life and health forever eat animal brains and fish heads.  Kidney and liver are also powerful antistress foods as well as eggs. Be sure to use coconut oil with them which helps converyt cholesterol to anti stress recovery horomones. Get tge multiglandular from ultra life for your type as well as experiment with oher glandulars. Im certain this approach will help any protein type.
