Thanks Heather ! I will research cortisol as related to fasting. I workout with Kettlebells days a week and pilates one day. So plenty of exercise. Protein and natural fats are my friend. Have minimized carbonhydrates for over a year. So I will add organic apple cider vinegar to my water in the afternoon. Easy to do !
Great day to you !
