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
