hi guys dr. Barrick here I want to talk

about long-term chronic sustained stress

okay now normally when you go through

emergencies with your body a stress

event short term cortisol is released

cortisol is a hormone that’s made from

the adrenals and it’s pumped out in

response to stress or an emergency or a

trauma situation okay what it does is it

adapts every tissue in your body to cope

with a stress State for example it

basically increases your blood pressure

right if there’s a tiger chasing you you

need higher blood pressure to run away

it actually turns your body into burning

sugar as a primary fuel instead of fat

because sugar is the core fuel it will

actually even turn your muscles into

sugar as well heightened awareness so it

makes you very mint to mentally a

focused and hyper focus okay it

decreases inflammation because think

about it if you’re being chased by a

tiger you don’t have time to have

inflammation you have to be able to run

out of there so it stops all long-term

healing in the body it stops

reproductive sex hormones you’re not

going to have time to reproduce because

you’re being chased by the tiger so all

these hormonal sex hormones are put on

hold anything repair is put on hold

also it decreases white blood cells

that’s your immune system because you

don’t have time to go through this whole

healing process again or your immune

system and this is the problem it

increases your risk or susceptibility to

infections okay but it will turn off

allergies that’s why chronic exposure to

cortisol over a period of time if you

have too much cortisol over a long

period of time

everything starts working in Reverse you

start becoming allergic to everything

you start having being inflamed in all

the joints and muscles loss of memory no

longer do you have heightened awareness

now you have brain fog because the

receptors it’s kind of like insulin when

you have high levels of insulin you get

insulin resistance the same thing

happens with core

so your body starts to eject too much

cortisol in the body and now the cells

have low cortisol and these are all the

symptoms of low cortisol but what

happens the signals come back and the

body tries to make more but it’s not

effective cortisol see cortisol is a

really good thing but not in large

amounts so it affects the memory it

decreases oxygen to the brain long-term

stress so allergies we talked about that

asthma autoimmune almost every single

autoimmune case is always has a stress

event that occurs just before because

the stress opens the door for you immune

system to lose control

viruses come out of remission as well

that’s why stress will activate a canker

sore or shingles pain loss of memory

insomnia belly fat just it just creates

the problem within the entire body so

our bodies were never designed to handle

the long-term stress and I’m not just

talking about physical stress mainly now

it’s mental stress its losses it’s just

the amount of pressure that people are

on now it’s just it’s astronomical so

what can you do about it right that’s

the next question what you have to do is

you have to repair the deeper causes

look what they’re doing now they’re

treating each one of these with a

different drug big mistake what you want

to do is you want to support cortisol by

rejuvenating cortisol you need to spend

time extracting yourself from life going

out every single day and going for long

walks like an hour a day I mean you

spend 24 hours a day working or in front

of a computer we need to spend some time

outside without talking to anyone just

getting out in nature and just

extracting yourself we need to do

vitamin D is very very healthy walking

in sunlight is very good doing

acupressure on the adrenals I’ll put a

link down below very powerful to take

the stress out physically nutrition you

need a lot of potassium a lot of

magnesium a lot of B vitamins from

nutritional yeast

we need to get off the sugar and mainly

we need to start sleeping more and more

and more so we can rejuvenate I’ll put

some links down below and some ideas but

I just wanted to talk about this is

what’s really killing people now is the

sustained stress thanks for watching
