hey Dr Berg here I’m back with the siba collection I want to just explain a couple things out of this uh book by Frank net MD Incredible Book um just kind of puts everything together a lot of people are walking around with problems with their adrenals and they don’t know it uh and they associate all these symptoms separately but I just want to kind of go through and tell you a little bit about um what cortisol does Cortisol is a stress hormone and it does a lot of things it helps you survive but if there’s too much of it uh you will drain out your anti-inflammatory hormones so in other words the cortisol is normally an anti-inflammatory but if you have sustained stress over many years the cortisol becomes depleted and you start running out of your inflammation your anti-inflammatory so you’re going to end up with inflammation chronic pain and soreness and we call that fibromyalgia fibromyalgia is simply a severe lack of the anti-inflammatory hormone cortisol is the main um um the one of the only things in your body that gets rid of inflammation now you might say well wait a second I don’t want it because it’s going to create belly fat and then why why do I have belly fat and I have high levels of inflammation and uh also fibromyalgia which is soreness through the entire body well it’s kind of like insulin when you have a lot of you could have a lot of hormone in your body but it’s not effective it’s not getting received in the receptors so it’s kind of like if you were to have a bunch of telemarketers call you every day for a year eventually you’re not going to pick up so that you’re not going to receive the communication same thing with cortisol when you have high levels of stress for many years um your body downgrades The receptors for cortisol thereby not letting you absorb them so they’re high in the in the blood or the saliva and that’s why the belly is fat but they don’t but it doesn’t work for other things like anti-inflammatories and especially anti-allergic you can have you have sinus allergies lots of people with adrenal problems have sinus allergies or they’re all year round where the sinuses start getting really thick and they might have sleep apnea which is could be the sinuses as well so one of the things to counter that would be vitamin A uh the Cal shake that I have in my website you can go to Dr bird. com and watch me make the Cal shakes it’s very high in vitamin A which is essential for the sinuses and and different allergies um so those are some of the the things that occur there’s a couple other things number one increase neural excitability that’s the thinking and thinking and thinking accessally can’t turn off there’s a problem with u muscle wasting your muscles you lose tone there’s a problem with um craving for salt there’s a problem with bone there’s a problem with belly fat and there’s also a problem with hypertension specifically the top number that’s called the systolic versus the diastolic and there’s also a problem with sleeping other than that the person’s perfectly fine
