I’m going to show you the best way to get at the root cause of those dark circles underneath your eyes it’s called periorbital dark circles now typically when you look this up you’re going to see a million different remedies okay and they do work the problem is they only work temporarily you have to keep applying them over and over and over you can use kojic acid and you can use vitamin C aloe vera niacinamide which is a type of B3 or you can even use cucumber extract or cucumbers so any of these will work temporarily simply take the remedy and rub it underneath your eyes and give it you know some days or even weeks so what do all of these have in common they inhibit melanin okay which causes this pigmentation in your skin and that’s cool you can do that um there’s probably not a lot of side effects but I want to talk about the two underlying root causes to this problem so you can actually permanently get rid of this now the first one involves understanding just a little bit about your hormone system okay you have this little gland in the brain called the pituitary and it sends signals down through the body and one of the tissues that it controls is the adrenal glands you have two of them deep into your abdomen okay the adrenal glands produce a lot of different hormones but there’s one that is called cortisol and that is a stress hormone so the pituitary sends a signal down to the adrenal when there’s perceived stress and that pituitary hormone is called ACTH it hits the adrenal and then the adrenal produces cortisol once cortisol is produced that amount of cortisol that is produced reaches up to the pituitary and tells the pituitary to turn off to stop producing this circuit and so now that ACTH can stop being activated now it just so happens when you go through a period of stress called a chronic stress which could include loneliness losses or anything to raise your level of cortisol like synthetic cortisol prednisone medications Etc what’s going to happen next is your body is going to develop this cortisol resistance very similar to insulin resistance and if you want to look this up this is a real condition okay it’s called glucocorticoid receptor resistance now what happens in this situation is because of the excess communication coming down from that pituitary that could be a bit too dangerous so your receptors kind of shut down and inhibit the absorption of cortisol into the cells and this is a protective mechanism what’s going to happen next is you’re going to have a deficiency of cortisol so the communication is being sent but it’s not being received so it’s kind of like talking to someone but they’re completely ignoring you so what are you going to do you’re going to start shouting at them right eventually you’re going to start talking louder and that’s exactly what the pituitary starts doing it starts to increase its level of communication why because it’s not getting through okay your pituitary thinks that you have a cortisol deficiency but in reality it’s just resistance in the receptor it’s definitely deficiency but it’s because there’s too much cortisol so anytime you have too much ACTH you’re going to have a big spike in this other hormone called melanocyte stimulating hormone and that’s where you get the increase in melanin which is that darkening of your skin and very commonly it can occur right underneath your eyes now this is the problem because not only are you going to get this darkening underneath your eyes but you’re going to have all the other symptoms that come along with cortisol resistance you see cortisol helps you adapt to stress okay put your body into a stress state to help you overcome a stressful situation but now we have a situation that we have stress but unfortunately without the benefit of cortisol so now you get more inflammation in the body and that can happen on the skin as other problems you’re more susceptible to infection your immune system actually becomes very dysfunctional etc etc so what could be done with this cortisol deficiency that’s really causing this problem number one you have to do something about your stress you have to reduce it in any way shape or form and I’m talking about the actual source of the stress no matter what it is and to flush out the stress start increasing regular aerobic exercise where you’re actually not producing a lot of stress but you’re running or flushing out all this adrenaline and cortisol out of the system if you do physical work outside that is even better than exercise because it also relieves the mental component to stress because it shifts your attention to something else far too often when someone works out and they’re on the treadmill whatever or at the gym they’re thinking about these stressful moments at the same time unfortunately so it’s really sometimes hard to extract the attention on that stress situation okay the next thing is sleep okay get more sleep take more naps go to bed earlier sleep in later the next thing to do and this is something that is a very important in vitamin D3 okay I would take probably 20 to 30 000 I use the vitamin D3 vitamin D3 acts like cortisol in the body but without the side effects so it can give you some benefits of this cortisol immediately magnesium is probably one of the most important minerals to take and then also limit the amount of screen time you know looking into the computer that can really strain the eyes and it’s just unfortunately not very healthy even though we all do it the next thing is reduce insulin okay you see this in diabetics diabetics have this condition where they have kind of dark velvety skin in the folds of their body sometimes around their neck armpits and what’s happening is they have high levels of insulin okay and insulin resistance that is Raising this melanocyte stimulating hormone and this is a really easy one to correct if you understand what’s happening all you have to do is bring your carbs down to 20 grams or less per day and then just not eat so frequently skip the snacks skip breakfast and just have two or even one meal a day okay you combine that with lowering your stress and you will see a lightning of these dark circles under your eye which will then remain absent I have a lot more to say on this topic if you haven’t seen this video on stress you
