hi so in this video we’re going to talk

about why someone could actually have

low cortisol symptoms yet on a blood

test or a saliva test they have high

levels of cortisol how can that be it’s

a bit confusing so many people have

symptoms of low and high together and

they’re confused

typically symptoms with low cortisol

include inflammation why because

cortisol is one of the most powerful

anti-inflammatory hormones so if you

don’t have enough of it you end up with

inflammatory conditions arthritis

autoimmune etc and this is why they get

a lot of viruses they have a poor immune

system so they’re gonna get sick

frequently they might have skin color

changes like vitiligo or their skin just

looks a little bit darker salt cravings

okay Sall symptoms with below and with

high cortisol belly fat high blood

pressure allergies

pitching to insomnia thin legs no but

all gut acid reflux

okay the pre-diabetic or are they

developed diabetes think about when

someone actually is injected with

prednisone one of the side effects is

sometimes they get diabetes from that

why because high levels of cortisol

mobilize a tremendous amount of sugar

okay in the body okay so there’s a

there’s a condition called cortisol

resistance very similar to insulin

resistance where you have the gland the

adrenal gland that makes cortisol

sending this hormone to the blood it

connects to the receptor but the

receptor is downgraded it’s resistive

it’s blocked it’s not accepting that

hormone and then what happens is we

don’t get the return communication

telling the the gland to turn off so we

have a dream which only has an on switch

no off switch massive flood of cortisol

your body will protect itself by not

letting this cortisol in the cell so we

have certain parts of the body that are

completely deprived of cortisol and

other parts of the body

which we have

way too much cortisol okay and this is

why you can have a combination of both

but what’s really happening is you have

too much cortisol that’s making the the

receptor ineffective at absorbing this

cortisol so we were left with chronic

inflammation we’re left with maybe a

viral infection that won’t go away and

it’s usually these people have chronic

fatigue syndrome they have asthma they

have chronic skin inflammatory

conditions they have a lot of skin

issues a lot of gut issues a lot of

inflammation other than that they’re

perfectly fine all right so I hope that

sort out the confusion but now the

question is what do you do I already

in a stress webinar I put a link down

below and that will walk you through

step by step what you should do if you

have an overactive adrenal gland all
