Does anyone else notice looking healthier/stronger/debloated when their cortisol is high for long periods of time?

Curious to see if anyone here is sympathetically dominant.

I usually look healthier and operate better cognitively + feel stronger off sleep deprivation and unhealthy lifestyle choices.
The opposite happens when I eat, sleep, and live healthy.

Cool little phenomenon of a phenotype some people possess that denies the usual logic of how our bodies function.

crazy thing is after a whole day of being stressed eating like shit and moving in the cold i look alot better were as if i stuck to my diet and hyperfocused on my looks so idk might just be in our heads ngl

dont know much about this specific topic but I do know that you're body is meant to stress short term, but I haven't seen anything where being stressed long term makes you look better so thats interesting.

It's a real phenotypical trait, and pretty rare. If you're interested I have a protocol I've created that utilizes sleep deprivation and a secondary mechanism called homeostatic compensation that allows someone with this weird condition to utilize for overnight debloating, looking and feeling better overall, and great for preparing before a social event.

Also do you have any slavic genetics by chance?

Yes, it lacks a lot of research due to it being rare enough for big pharma companies to not consider it worth the money to invest into. Can't make much off something theoretically less than 0.01% of people have.

I've conducted a self study on amphetamines/meth for days on end while sleep deprived and fasted in cycles, and documented the very odd results it gave me which were increased health indicators and performance in every way for weeks on end prior to my body eventually crashing for obvious reasons of having it's own limits to what it can tolerate even with this cortisol resilience.

Unfortunately the benefits only last about over a week before my body began showing signs of CNS crash, but it's really interesting how I could use this method to debloat within a matter of hours and having people tell me how much healthier I appeared, (I have a bit of an undereye circle issue which went away completely during this phase), and living healthy lifestyles doesn't work for me unless I include the occasional harmful choice to my body like nicotine or junk food to begin looking better.

Interesting, surely not good long-term even when done a week at a time?

Haha that's crazy, I was asking because the theoretical chances of someone having this body phenotype is less than 1%, and typically shows within a certain mix of genetics that show among the slavic/steppe gene pool due to our higher stress and recovery genetics shaped by evolutionary environment development. We'd basically be able to operate without nutrition or sleep back in the day for much longer than most humans, making this a tool of advantage that could be used in a different context today in terms of aesthetics.

Tbh didn't expect to find someone on here with this, shits got me nerding out

No of course not, like I was telling someone moments ago this was probably utilized as a survival tool by humans that could operate without nutrition or sleep for longer periods of time than the majority of humans could back then. Usually shows within slavs due to how much stress our people were undergoing in terms of environment and evolution.
