let’s talk about zinc’s influence over cortisol

zinc is a trace mineral i’ve done a lot of videos on it but it has a huge

influence over something called the hpa axis hypothalamus which is in the brain

pituitary and then we have adrenal so we have this whole

feedback loop going on so the adrenals are controlled by the hypothalamus

through the pituitary’s help and zinc supports this whole pathway

so when you take zinc you actually have the ability to lower cortisol

zinc also increases gaba which is very calming

so when you take zinc it calms you down here’s another problem with lowered zinc

when you’re low in zinc you’re automatically going to be a

little bit higher in copper because they work together

when you have this ratio right here it’s not good because then you start getting

copper toxicity or copper overload and you get anxiety

depression higher levels of cortisol and it puts your body in a stress

mode so you’re in flight or fight the other point i want to make is if you

have a hidden infection in your body some people

have chronic fatigue syndrome or they have fibromyalgia

or they have some type of low-grade infection

behind the scenes they’re under stress they have this infection

they have inflammation in the joints other places in the throat

that is going to deplete a lot of your zinc

and it’s going to raise your cortisol so that has to be addressed so

if this situation is going on you need to do some additional things

like aloe leaf extract colloidal silver oregano oil to handle the deeper source

of the infection so your body doesn’t have to utilize all this zinc

you can get zinc from shellfish pumpkin seeds

brazil nuts so the point of this video is if you have some

underlying stress situation or you can’t sleep

and you’re trying to do everything you can you may want to also include

zinc thanks for watching before you go if you have a question about a product
