so i have a question for  you what food do you turn to  

when you go under stress go ahead and  comment down below is it candy chocolate  

what about bread maybe pasta how about cake or  cookies cookies and milk what about ice cream  

or do you drink alcohol or do you just take a  pill here’s the problem when you consume carbs  

it affects your blood sugars your blood sugars  will then end up at a lower state about 30 to 40  

minutes after that carb which will then increase  more cortisol and cause more stress why was that  

because the hormone-like substance dopamine it’s  actually a neurotransmitter is increased with  

the anticipation of a reward like chocolate  ice cream etc not when you’re consuming it  

now dopamine is a pleasure hormone and so when  people are under stress or pain they they many  

times go for a carbohydrate or they might go for  alcohol when in fact they might get a temporary  

spike in dopamine right before but not when  they’re consuming it the truth is as soon as you  

start doing it the more stress you’re going to be  now of course if you’re going to take a medication  

or drink alcohol you’re going to actually block  the stress for a period of time but as soon as  

it wears off it comes back so i want to give you  uh very powerful things you can do as a substitute  

for the carbs so there was an interesting  study on mice not humans but it does relate  

that showed that consuming carbohydrates did  not lower cortisol but it did increase dopamine  

just a little bit now let me explain dopamine  this is a neurotransmitter that gives you some  

pleasure so it can counter the sensation of high  cortisol but it’s not really lowering cortisol  

it’s just making you feel like it’s lowered but  the thing about dopamine is that it increases with  

the anticipation of a reward not actually when  you start eating these rewards it’s right before  

so that is interesting but here’s the problem when  we consume the carbs we basically create a blood  

sugar problem which eventually increases cortisol  so it’s really a trap it keeps people in this  

stress pretending like you don’t have stress  stress mode back and forth back and forth back  

and forth so i want to give you some very powerful  things to do as a substitute for going for these  

things when you’re stressed number one vitamin b1  if you have not tried this i highly recommend it  

you can either take some b1 or better yet get  some nutritional yeast you’ll be actually quite  

surprised how quickly you’re going to feel calm  and relaxed when you consume nutritional yeast  

make sure it doesn’t have synthetic vitamins so  you want it unfortified with synthetics so b1 is  

quite amazing within minutes you’re going to feel  like a sense of relief okay next one is magnesium  

you can do calcium magnesium you can do  magnesium citrate there’s many other different  

types of magnesium you can do but magnesium  is really good to help you relax and wind down  

and reduce stress lemon balm tea is another  favorite one this will make you feel very calm  

and it’s really good to take before you go  to sleep at night l-theanine is an amino acid  

that will also help the mental stress part you’ll  feel really calm very powerful and number five  

adaptogens there’s many the one that i like is  ashwagandha and but there’s other ones as well  

so an adaptogen will increase your tolerance of  stress so here we have it five things you can do  

in substitution for these right here thanks for  watching before you go if you have a question
