let’s talk about stress unfortunately

we are all being bathed in chronic

stress literally 24 7. and this is just

not healthy there are certain

individuals and groups that are

constantly putting out

your environment is very dangerous okay

danger danger danger and as we are more

exposed to this uh threat of danger it

can really affect every single system in

our body but there’s one thing that’s

very very important and I want to just

talk about it and that really is

changing your Viewpoint about the

environment I know this might be hard to

believe but your environment is not

quite as dangerous as they want you to

believe now it is dangerous don’t get me

wrong and there’s certain individuals

that profit from keeping the public in a

fierce State and many times they

exaggerate this and it’s just not a

healthy thing to keep our attention on

this negativity 24 7. so I want you to

do something right now I want you just

to look outside right now okay what do

you see

you see any

dangerous things I see a tree out there

I don’t see any hurricanes no tsunamis

looks pretty safe out there

now look at the ground look at the floor

right now

are you sitting on a potential sinkhole

right now

do you feel that there’s any termites

that have destroyed your foundation that

you’re gonna just cave right in

the answer is no

all right so go ahead and put your hand

on the wall next to you right

do you feel it hot like there’s Flames

like your house is on fire

no but if you think about it if the

average person were to just to absorb

all this threat of danger 24 7. I don’t

even know how they can survive so the

most important thing to do is to really

change your Viewpoint and start to

filter out some of the things that

you’re exposed to recently I started to

really look at videos I was watching and

different TV programs I was watching and

it just hit me how many messages of fear

I was exposed to and without any

solutions so anytime someone gives you

some Doom and Gloom message without a

solution don’t watch it why because now

you’re going to start solving these

problems when you should be sleeping now

I’m definitely not saying to ignore some

of these dangers but when you are

exposed to these dangers try like heck

to have a relaxed Viewpoint staying in

action to help solve the problem improve

things but at some point we need to

start filtering out this threat of

danger because it’s just not not healthy

for our bodies that also includes the

people that you hang out with I mean

there are so many people out there I’ve

had people around me that would only

give me bad news okay never any good

news you should start watching TV

programs and hang out with people that

give you solutions that emphasize the

good news talk about the good things to

offset the massive danger signals that

our body is constantly being

fed now let me just go through a couple

things because this is actually a very

important topic

you have the sympathetic nervous system

okay that’s the flutter fight the

protective mode that we go into for this

threat of stress and every single cell

in our body changes to a whole different

program whereas the other system called

the parasympathetic is all about growth

sleep digestion repair

healing okay that’s a completely

different program in practice I used to

have a test it was called that heart

rate durability test that would measure

how much sympathetic nervous system that

was being activated versus how much

parasympathetic and boy nearly everyone

that came in were just so jacked up to

the right which is sympathetic dominance

simply because the environment that

we’re in was considered extremely

dangerous and I will say a certain

amount of that has been manufactured I

mean if there’s not enough things going

wrong to have other people manufacturing

more of that is complete Insanity so I

think it’s important for you to

understand

what happens to your biology when you

are under sustained chronic stress first

of all you’re going to have less

Diversified

microbiome and you’re going to have more

pathogenic bacteria so your entire gut

microbiome changes and all the points

I’m going to mention today are based on

some research on relating chronic

sympathetic High cortisol stress to the

various systems of your body let’s go on

to the immune system what happens to

your immune system when you have this

sustained stress it shuts down the T

cells that are normally there to protect

you and kill cancer cells and kill

viruses

are basically put to sleep the duration

of infections take way longer you have

what’s called immunosuppression stress

suppresses the immune system

and this is why when you go to the

doctor and you have inflammation or some

type of autoimmune they inject you with

prednisone which takes that away

temporarily because prednisone is a type

of cortisol which is produced by the

adrenal glands which is activated by

stress and that is suppressing all the

immune reactions and as soon as it wears

off you start getting a lot more

inflammation so stress will increase

inflammation all right what about

fertility do you become more fertile no

you become less fertile you have

decreased sperm production you have less

implanting of the egg in the uterus so

you become less fertile you usually lose

your menstrual cycle and on top of that

you lose your libido usually when people

are stressed out they don’t have any sex

drive all right now what happens to the

fuel system in your body well if you’re

trying to be on the ketogenic diet your

whole metabolism shifts back to glucose

production that’s right because cortisol

is a glucocorticoid so it starts to

increase gluco neogenesis the production

of new sugar in your liver

so when you go through stress okay

chronically what’s happening is you’re

just pumping out all this sugar that’s

not coming from your diet it’s coming

from your proteins the muscle proteins

in your butt the the muscle proteins in

your legs and even fat and ketones are

turned into glucose and that glucose can

then increase insulin and you increase

your risk of getting a diabetes Now why

is this because when you’re in stress

mode your body needs this quick energy

what about lipids like cholesterol and

things like that this is interesting

when you go through chronic stress your

triglycerides go up your HDL goes down

your LDL goes up and if you had these

large buoyant particle size type LDL

that’s going to switch to the small

dense particle size which are the more

pathogenic ones that actually can invade

the arteries

so your profile for cholesterol gets

much worse when you go through stress

like I said before having a non-serious

relaxed State of Mind is so important

now this next one is really interesting

too your ability to detoxify I’m talking

about these certain enzymes in your

liver they’re called cytochrome p450

phase one phase two enzymes okay these

are the enzymes that convert poisons

into harmless water-soluble things that

can be released from the body so we’re

going from fat soluble poisons

the harmless particles right

well guess what those are inhibited when

you go through chronic stress wild so

you can’t detoxify that well so you’re

going to hold toxins right what about

digestion as a whole well you’re going

to have much slower digestion you’re not

going to be able to release the bile

salts from your liver which is

interesting so there goes the fat

digestion even your pancreatic enzymes

in your enzymes from your small

intestine will be inhibited thereby

cutting down your ability to digest your

production of hydrochloric acid is going

to go down too so there goes your

complete digestion of proteins your

absorption of minerals and the killing

of pathogens your mucous lining in the

stomach in the small intestine and the

large bowel is inhibited by this stress

State as well and that’s kind of like

the immune barrier and then your overall

absorption of vitamins and minerals are

going to be lessened now this next one

is also interesting

vitamin D absorption there’s a receptor

for vitamin D called the vitamin D

receptor okay and the reception or the

absorption of vitamin D through that

receptor is diminished with stress on

top of all the other barriers with

vitamin D

stress will actually slow down the

absorption of vitamin D wild even the

fascia kind of like the the stuff that

surrounds the muscles that’s highly

innovated by your nerves and your brain

has a lot of information coming down to

the fascia around the ligaments around

your muscles becomes tighter becomes

more restricted you lose your range of

motion you lose your blood flow to your

fascia when you’re under chronic stress

you maintain this posture right here

right which is kind of like in protect

mode this is your flight or fight you

know your posture starts going down and

it all has to do with that fascia now

what happens to the brain when you’re

under chronic sustained sympathetic

nervous system overdrive well the

hippocampus the structure that’s

involved with the relay of memories and

learning and cognition is all inhibited

because that part of the brain starts to

shrink also it starts lowering the

function of your cerebral cortex you

kind of need that part of the brain now

another structure is activated in your

brain and I don’t know if you ever heard

about the structure but it’s called the

amygdala

the amygdala has everything to do with

fear

and anxiety okay it’s kind of like your

adrenal glands but in the brain so it’s

going to react to stress States now as

far as thinking in a chronic state of

stress you’re not going to be really

analytically thinking about things

solving problems coming up with good

Solutions being creative having

imagination instead it’s going to be

more like

reaction mode because you need a relaxed

State of Mind to come up with Solutions

you need your creativity to come up with

really good strategies and solutions

last point I want to bring up is your

genes what happens to your genes when

you’re under stress well all the bad

genes get activated okay and all the

good genes get suppressed like I’m

talking about activation of cancer genes

I’m talking about activation of

inflammatory genes things like that but

one thing I want to bring up your genes

really don’t cause anything okay they

don’t cause the problems for you it’s

the epigenetics which means above

genetics it’s your lifestyle that’s

really Behind These genetics and all you

need to understand is how to turn on and

turn off certain genes and those

switches are activated by certain

lifestyle changes and I cover these

Lifestyle Changes in a lot of my videos

the genes are associated with a lot of

bad things but if you know how to

control your genes you’re totally going

to be in the driver’s seat number one we

must change our attitude our Viewpoint

of our environment we must also start

filtering out how much threat of danger

we’re exposed to if you start watching

certain videos that don’t give you a

solution that at the end of the video

you feel worse than before you watch the

video then you might need to filter

those things out a therapy for me is

getting out in nature getting a lot of

space as much as possible

and really kind of getting connected to

my environment now the other thing to do

is to physically

flesh out a lot of this extra adrenaline

and this extra cortisol that has been

accumulated through the day of exposure

to all these things so this means uh

routine consistent exercise okay

physical work outside so you can start

flushing out these neurotransmitters and

hormones that are creating a lot of this

damage because the last thing you want

to do is go through a lot of mental

stress and then just go to bed at night

you’re not going to sleep that well so

exercise is a necessity I mean I have to

physically work out every single day

just to kind of flush out things and

help me sleep because the other point

about the adrenaline and cortisol it’s

shifting a lot of energy okay that

should be in your immune system should

be in repair should be in your digestion

and it’s ending up in the muscles so you

have enough energy to run away from the

tiger right but because there’s no more

tiger around we have more mental energy

and that whole mechanism is still there

so you’re gonna have to exercise to get

those hormones out of your system now

that being said there’s a lot of

additional things you can do to help

with stress not as important as changing

your viewpoint but they’re still

important and I put that video up right
