Do you think it's possible to achieve maximum mental performance without elevating stress hormones? The reason I ask is that substances that seem to improve my mental performance like nicotine, caffeine and tyrosine all seem to elevate cortisol. I do my best to make up for it at the end of the day by relaxing as much as possible but I'm sure that I'm doing damage to my body. Every time I figure out a way to make myself operate at a significantly higher level, I have to pay the price. I'm starting to think you can't have your cake and eat it too.
