After experimenting with adding bicarbonate to my diet (quarter tsp sodium bicarb twice a day) I noticed sugar crashing and immediately thought of cortisol. It happened a half an hour after taking it but overall I feel very relaxed.
I looked for some studies and came up with Examining the relationship between diet-induced acidosis and cancer
Low bicarb levels and acidosis stimulate glutamine and cortisol. There's a lot of other material there I haven't really looked at but the acidosis, bicarb and cortisol connection looks good.
