Does anyone know anything about cortisol and running fasted when you wake up? I've been reading online that running when your cortisol levels are high in the AM 'can be bad for your muscles'. My goal is weight loss not performance so I'm wondering if it's really a concern.

(I'm not so worried I think my muscles will vaporize lol)

I don't know a lot about running but that sounds a lot like majoring in the minors. When you get to be an elite level runner maybe worry about things like that but until then I'd just run when it works for you. Your muscles will be fine, although I do know some runners who do a little strength training which you can consider.
