hey guys dr. Berg here in this video we’re gonna talk about low cortisol now I’ve done a lot of videos on high cortisol what it can do in this video we’re gonna talk about low cortisol now cortisol has a lot of good benefits it actually helps you but too much of it or too little of it you can mess you up so one of the causes of low cortisol would be cortisol resistance and that means that you had high levels of cortisol over a long period of time or high levels of stress and the receptors for cortisol started to downgrade and get blocked so now it’s just very similar to insulin resistance in that you can’t absorb it anymore so here you have the situation where the cells don’t get the benefit of cortisol despite high levels of cortisol the feedback loops come right around to the adrenals sensing the course while it starts pumping out more course also you have situation of high cortisol and low cortisol so now you have the bad effects of belly fat you know high blood pressure and all those issues and bone loss but then you don’t have all the natural anti-inflammatory effects so you get inflammatory conditions arthritis bursitis tendinitis all the type of inflammatory things because cortisol is normally an anti-inflammatory okay so you lose that that’s why that we go to a doctor they will give you prednisone or cortisone creams for the skin rashes and allergies and itching and asthma and arthritis they inject you with cortisone shots because cortisol has the benefit of getting rid of inflammation low immunity if you don’t have the benefit of course so you can get sick easily you can have problems with autoimmune problems allergies okay I mean think about what they a lot of times for allergies they’ll give you a cortisone apprentice own asthma asthma if you don’t have enough cortisol you you can have problems with asthma asthmatic i mean a bronco coracoid steroid inhaler they’re giving you cortisone right because they you don’t have enough you don’t have enough adrenal function low stress tolerance so your tolerance for stress is pretty crappy so because you don’t have enough course also you get edgy easily low vitamin D level so you don’t regulate those properly and then poor memory so cortisol actually helps the memory if you have normal amounts if you don’t have it you can have issues with memory but other night you’re perfectly fine right so one of the things I use not to cure this thing but just to help support the adrenal glands I have something called cortisol support formula now this is not for people with high cortisol it’s for people with low cortisol to help support a healthy adrenal has some interesting things that has three of the ingredients are food based vitamin C complexes they’re not synthetic if you take a lot of synthetic vitamin C you will weaken the adrenals the adrenal — supports most of the it’s like a vitamin c reserve in the body because you need the vitamin c to not just a make cortisol but to make adrenal hormone I mean I’m sorry adrenaline and the other hormones that are produced by the adrenal - like adrenaline noradrenaline all those are called catecholamines you need vitamin c is a precursor for that so it’s three food based vitamin c complexes it has it’s not a vegan product so it has grass-fed adrenal extract it is grass-fed liver extract which also helps the cortisol regulate itself it has two versions of vitamin b5 which is also good to help bolster the adrenal it has licorice root trace minerals so it’s a it’s a real good product to bring the person up I would take three a day ok so that is something you can do also too you want to fix this you have to avoid the source so you’re going to have to start looking at what is stressing you out and really focus on that you’re gonna have to focus on your sleep you’re going to have to do walking not a high intensity you’re gonna have to change your environment so you’re not in stress dates as much whether it’s work home or whatever ok so anyway I put a link down below if you want to check out the course or support and thank you for watching
