Isn't he just the husband, brother, best friend, etc that we would all dream of! What a great man and so very knowledgeable and caring!!! Dr. Berg rocks!! That's for all the free information!
I looked up cortisol and the first few results on youtube were so bad. One person did a half decent job but didn’t even mention high vs. low. You consistently outshine these other channels. I appreciate the information that you give. Thank you.
When I was first diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I had low Cortisol, Very Low in B vitamins and Magnesium. I was given a prescription for the cortisol and had to give myself injections for the B's and magnesium for a couple of months. This combination saved my sanity and my life, so I know how important cortisol really is. Very good explanation of the difference between high and low, thank you.
Bonita Trost's post was from "3 years ago," @@odiarroyo6144, & Bonita Trost hasn't responded -- at least not as yet -- to your amiable query from "3 days ago." This therefore prompted me to check out Trost channel to see if there was any indication as to current welfare, &, though I was hoping for some positive sign regarding Trost's health since that post, there was no indication either way. My advice is, therefore, if you are really looking for an answer to your most recent question, you may want to widen your casting out of your question a little bit more.
In the 50’s we had 3 channels on tv, no computers, no internet, no social media, no packed freeways with 2 hour commutes, families with 2 parents, and generally a much less stressful existence. By no coincidence things like lupus, chronic fatigue, celiac, Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia and other common diseases hardly existed.
Haha, you went too far back, probably 2 decades more, 70s. I think things started going downhill late 80s, and 90s just messed up the natural order and here we are paying dearly for it. No one or family is exempted. Like you stated, there was family unit of two parents, not now that mum/ dad is the sole caretaker and having to juggle everything, leads to stress and stress always give birth to diseases; and of course the kids are put in front of computers/ tv where they get all their "education and love" since parent is to tired to interact with kids, then kid become obese and messed up. The circle continues as they become adult and pass it down the pyramid.
I think the diseases did exist. Often doctors dismissed people who mentioned their symptoms. With more knowledge, more people are being properly diagnosed.
I never knew about cortisol until I started watching your channel Dr Berg. Stress is inevitable, but it's interesting to know how the body & the mind act upon each other !!!!! I have been following you for more than 6 months & have understood this and many other concepts so well ! it has changed my mental make up. You explain everything so well, which can be understood by even a high school kid. Thank you & God bless you !
I was in an abusive marriage for 20 years and after these videos got my blood work and was found to have extremely high cortisol levels. No wonder I am a walking hospital at age 42 with every ailment under the sun. Dr. Bergs videos and faith in a higher power above make me confident I can make a full recovery
Thanks for asking. I am quite better though still tend to be spaced out many times and have aches and pains but taking regular supplements as well as a Homeo med means I am much much better. As my mother says I should give myself at least 20 months to undo 20 years of damage
Thank you Dr. Berg for everything you have done and shared. This helps. I am sure I had high cortisol for years, but now I believe there is very little left. Add menopause to that and whoa...Will be getting dim soon. Finishing cruciferous. Doing keto & IF for 4 mos. Lost 35 lbs. so far. The videos are a great source of encouragement & support for me.
Watching this more than a year after the “14 days to slow the spread” lockdown began. Chronic stress, endless zoom calls, any acute stress has become chronic by this point. 😒
Thanks Dr Berg I have learnt so much from watching your videos. I learnt more here about what was happening in my body then what the doctors have told me which they don’t even know. So thank you.
I have 2 medical fragile children I'm the 24/7 care giver but our routine is perfect most days the stress comes from our dogs and husband lol. Doing a 24 hour urine test. Past physical s have shown blood in urine quite a few times and I haven't had a period since 2010. Went in for a cardiology check up acan and through that imaging they saw s tumor right above the kidney so checking this information out now. Praying nothing serious or my kids are screwed
Which supplements do you take if you have low morning cortisol, moderate noon cortisol, and moderate-high evening and night cortisol? How to you get these four point-cortisol values to follow a normal diurnal cortisol response?
Very interesting! So how long should we need to take the one supplement to notice any improvement or benefit before switching to the other formula to see if it helps if the first is not? Thanks!
What a fantastic info Doctor.. when my mother passed away back in 2002 I was 22.. months after the event I felt so tired and lack of energy.. I remember just thinking it could have been lack of sleep or food... but in reality my body was telling me how stress I was but according to myself I didn't feel stressed.. or maybe I didnt know what stress was. Thanks for making me understand this.
My mother died 4 months ago ,I am currently in that situation of fatigue and being very tired ,how did you get out of it ,because I also feel so anxious like my cortisol is high
I had never heard of Low Cortisol before now. I thought I had High Cortisol until I watched this video but now I'm convinced I have low instead of high!! Amazing! Thanks for doing this video!!
Please get the proper testing done, adrenal saliva 4pt test is proper test to get done. You could be low in the am, high in the evening. Just get the test done save yourself some headache.
I highly recommend getting urine blood or Salvia test cortisol levels and my doctor also had an ACTH test. Both blood tests and my cortisol levels came back really high 50s and the ACTH test just determined where the excess cortisol coming from Adrenals or Pituitary gland my low ACTH test shows coming from Adrenals or adenoma on kidney most likely non cancer type but I won't know until after getting CT scan bilateral adrenal glands. He highly doubts cushioning disease because of low ACTH plus I have low blood pressure, great A1C no round face ect. I struggle to get out bed so fatigued and I was shocked I have high cortisol levels. Although in the evening I get hyper so insomnia. He ordered this test trying to figure why I had kidney problems because I don't have any of the conman markers for it like diabetes or high blood pressure actually both low. I hope this helps someone I've dealt with lot autoimmune issue's etc long list. ✝️🙏✝️
Answer me this, if you can. Several years of high level stress, developed chronic hives, severe allergies to antibiotics of all types, persistent sinus infections, C Diff and osteoporosis. Chronic fatigue in daytime, brain fog, insomnia and wide awake at night. Blood test shows normal cortisol in afternoon but fatigued nonetheless. How to treat? Signs and symptoms of both high and low cortisol depending on time of day.
Thanks! This was very useful. I was recently diagnosed with low cortisol levels due to chronic stress so it was great to understand the difference. Would be lovely if you could talk about low progesterone levels in women if you haven't already. Thanks
As a person with Addison's Disease I am very disappointed that commentators do not differentiate between symptoms of undiagnosed vs. diagnosed and treated Addison's Disease. A person with Addison's that is taking the meds for the treatment will no longer have the darker skin pigmentation or be thin and other symptoms will be lessened but they can still get close to death in very quickly form an infection,flu .physical accident or emotional trauma. When emergency personnel do not understand these differences it is very dangerous for the person seeking emergency help for a pending Addison's crisis.
M not a keto folloer but m a vegeterian... but i watch ur videos and they are unbias and knowledgeable... Thank you... plz keep the unbiased advises coming in thank you Dr... Wish you loads of succes....
small oatmeal with full fat milk in the morning to support the blood sugar level so that cortisol does not need to be cranked up too much for gluconeogenesis. it workes wonders. the rest of the day keto
I had a 24 hour urine test done last month that came back that my cortisol was really low. My doctor wanted to compare it to a blood test and that came back normal range so he said I'm fine but I don't feel fine!
In your last video which also talks about the same topic, you told us that one of the low cortisol symptoms is low blood pressure and now you are telling us it also contains high blood pressure. What should I believe? So confusing :( Was the last one talking about the addisons?
LUNA J when cortisol levels frequently / rapidly change from low or high, Blood pressure spikes from low to high, or high to low.heat /hot weather does this to my adrenal glands.i don’t know if tests can be perfect. Ask dr 😀
I go back and forth from low to high when it's high you will have nervousness, a lot of sweating like adrenaline rush type episodes and insomnia. Low was like I was dying losing a lot of weight, pain especially in the inner thighs and abdomen and inflammation was much worse when low than when high.
That's strange ,I lost a lot of weight when my cortisol is the highest because it makes me have no appetite ,only for sweets but not regular food, especially in the morning I can't stomach anything healthy ,and my cortisol is high(in the morning especially)
I'm the same. I have the high and low symptoms. Right now no energy, very weak, gastro, pain all over my body and the list goes on. Just gotta stay strong and keep on fighting.
We sure do live in the most stressful times, but I didn't not realise the effects of this on the body are just very alarming from your education. The human condition lost in thought! + stress = Cortisol
Is you have low cortisol you can stand under very hot shower and you can not against cold temp outdoor If you have high cortisol you Don't Mind the cold temp outdoor Hot shower you Don't like Just test it.
Intresting.... a couple winters ago, i swear the cold was just an extra cold that i feel felt more extreme to me than usual. Now its not as bad. ... but i actually am now wearing a thicker winter coat haha.
Dr. Berg, is it not better to find out exactly if i have high or low cortisol levels? and then treat it accordingly? and if so how do i find out my cortisol levels? Thanks
I usually like your videos but this one was confusing, how in the world are you supposed to tell if your cortisol is low or high if the symptoms for both are the same.
You need to do a saliva test taken at different times of the day, night. There are several on line clinics where you can order the kit.. Canary Club is one of the more popular ones.
How an adenoma in my suprarrenal gland could affect an inflamation process? (Sciatica) and lately, my blood suggar is high and blood pressure too. What can i do??
Hi Dr Berg 👋🏼 A saliva cortisol test showed high cortisol before bed and low cortisol in the morning. GP suggested synthetic cortisol supplement in the morning. Would you suggest reducing cortisol at noght to address the low cortisol in the AM? It's the morning and day fatigue that's wearing me down.
Just got a call from the VA saying my cortisol was low from taking Opdivo for a year. I was wondering why I was so fatigued all the time and had joint inflammation
Dr Berg- Is it safe to take your Adrenal/ Cortisol Support supplement if u r unsure if u have high or low cortisol? I have had chronic stress since childhood and then had a high stress job for over 30+ yrs. ty This is 2020 and you have an adrenal /cortisol support supplement out now with a different name than the 2 you mentioned in this video.
Hi Dr Berg's I love your work and your clips are always very informative and well presented. I was hoping you could tell me how long a person would need to take your adrenal formula for to reduce symptoms and gain a regular function of cortisol?

Dr Berg, I watched this video earlier this morning and believe I have low cortisol. I've been sick for over 10yrs. Unfortunately I've also gained a significant amount of weight. I've been watching your keto and IF videos and would like to start eating that way. Question- should I address low cortisol or adrenal fatigue first? Thank you so much for sharing these videos.
I had low cortisol because I was givin a steroid that mimics it in structure to replace it in my body do to inflammation in my bronchiole tubes , I was giving 5 pills 1 a day for five days , same time everyday , before I was schedule to take the pill I noticed my stress reaction was very sensitive, I would overreact to minor stress stimuli , which told me it was time for my pill , when I had no more pills , I went crazy , for three days, the only thing that saved my cortisol production was broccoli plates and plates of broccoli
Daniel Chap I haven’t been able to get off of prednisone. It’s been a year on and off and they are just now doing an allergy test, but I am way sensitive to stress now that this has been going on. Your comment helped soothe in a way.
Marcie Salkowski you have to tell yourself it’s just the lack of prednisone , and eat tons of broccoli took me three days to come back to normal I ate broccoli plates everyday
Ashwaganda and holy basil kills my libido and very low dose cdb oil helps me sleep better but makes me cry the next day. What can I take for low morning cortisol, moderate noon cortisol, and moderate-high evening and night cortisol? I like the better sleep with CBD oil but I don't like crying the next day into the evening.😞
Hi Dr. Berg, Thank you for providing this information. It is very much appreciated. I've been struggling with fatigue for about three years and it is getting worst. I especially get really weak on the days that I exercise or if I'm going up and down the stairs and moving around a lot. It has gotten worst. I get so weak to the point where I have to eat something usually carbs to save myself. Does this sound like adrenal fatigue? If so, how do I fix it without taking supplements? I'm not a supplement taker. I prefer real, fresh food. Thank you. Jennie I
Chronic fatigue.. I have it too. Take a B1 supplement - 600 mg a day. It helped me tremendously. Sounds like you have adrenal fatigue. But when adrenals are burnt out you feel that mentally too. Wired and tired, anxiety, insomnia, excessive thinking, sensitivity to bright lights, to loud noises, if you watch a movie it affects you on a personal level etc. At least this is what I had in adrenal fatigue.
@@viatafarazahar1279 Viata e cu zahar mai, nu fara haha Ma bucur sa intalnesc romani. Sunt putin mai bine acum, iau B1 zilnic dimineata, ma ajuta cu ceata mentala mai ales. Eram foarte obosită inainte, acum am mai multa energie de cand iau. Mai iau seleniu, B5, potasiu inainte de somn pt ca imi scade cortizolul si ma ajuta sa adorm, betaina la masa si alte prostii. Tu cum te simti? Ti-ai testat cortizolul salivar?
@@Arrasel eu sunt in refacere inca, cortizolul mi l-am luat doar din sange si era la limita de sus, dar am sa-l iau si din saliva ca am inteles ca ar fi mai relevant, sau din urina. Deocamdata iau si eu B1 de 250 (am sa dublez doza vedem cum ma simt) supliment cu potassiu (aspacardin) calciu si D3, seleniu organic si complex de B-uri naturale (de la remedia) si lemn dulce, vitamina c (apa cu lamaie sau sintetica cand nu am lamai) si ocazional L-theanina. Am avut o cadere dupa o sperietura mai mare care m-a bagat intr-o criza de stres, cu nopti nedormite, spasme, palpitatii si anxietate, oboseala musculara si altele... am luat si sunatoare (sunt niste pastile se numesc remotiv) ca sa-mi revin psihologic si gaba ... in rest sunt perfectă, :))) vorba lui dr. Berg
