It is well known in both aquatic animals and humans that both epinephrine and norepinephrine are massively elevated after extreme dives & breath-holds. Among other things, they are secreted by the adrenals to help you stay conscious and keep you alive when you need it most; yet another reason to avoid sweets to keep your adrenals healthy...
However, I didn't know that norepinephrine affected libido...

I know I certainly feel a lot calmer, more focused, and more able to think after a training session. Eric, Can you tell us how reducing intake of sweets keeps your adrenals healthy. Also can you direct me to some good info on diet for freediving?
