The best foods to lower cortisol and stress: 1. Egg yolks 2. Organ meats 3. Nutritional yeast or sunflower seeds 4. Dark leafy green vegetables 5. Salmon and other fatty fish 6. Probiotics and fermented foods (sauerkraut, kefir, pickles, kimchi) Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Having more Eggs a day (at least 6 eggs a day) than the AHA recommended amount elevated my serum methylcobolamine levels (917 pg/ml) in a good way. My callus dry feet is gone and has become soft
Thank you Fidel I was having a hard time reading his board even with my contacts in 😢 so I appreciate you typing this up for us! I sure wish Dr. Berg would answer my question I've asked more times than I can count about WHY Sauerkraut causes me to have migraines!!! Because he constantly tells us how great it is for our systems and I love it I just can't eat it because of the fact it gives me horrible migraines as does pickles...I wonder if it is because of the vinegar in them?🤔 That's the only thing I can think of and I do know I learned about the pickles from a old Neurologist and because I forgot one time he mentioned it to me that pickles were a trigger for them whoa was that a big reminder after eating 4-5 of the best tasting dill pickles I ever ate getting one of the worst migraines I've ever had I still remember that one to this day. Gosh I'd love to reap the benefits of sauerkraut if only I could eat it again like when I was a child. But I will bump up my eggs (sorry can't eat organ meats ew😖🤢). Thanks again Fidel
I eat an omelette with fatty fish, tomatoes and kale every morning and I have never felt better. No cravings or hunger until lunch at 2PM (usually a salad with meat). Then I eat a light dinner around 7pm and a glass of kefir with berries before bed. I am 55 and feel better than I ever did in my 20's and 30's.
At this point, eating 2 meals a day just feels like a huge holiday feast. I feel so good and build alot of muscle with 1 meal a day! Also, I don't feel like a "Twilight Zone Zombie" or throw carb induced tantrums! ❤ Healthy Keto! Thank You kindly, Dr. Berg!
All I did was adding 3 or 4 eggs into my daily diet. These are layed by my free range hens running around in the garden. Makes me feel full and kept the weight loss off and stable for a year now. I lost 10kg from 68 to 58kg
8:05 sending HUGS!! Dr Berg and team, I am SO appreciative of you!! Thank you for bringing up the vagal nerve. Someone in my life lives daily with malfunctioning of this nerve with respect to digestion. I'll pass this along. Keep shining! You are brightening up millions of lives daily. What a legacy! Thank you!
I have been wondering what foods can lower cortisol and now I get it. I have been eating these foods and didn't realize that it help. I always feel relaxed after eating these foods. Thank you so much for confirmation.
I learned so much listening to your videos. I lost weight and belly fat.i fell sooo much better and with lots of energy!my 10y old is in healthy again after 1year of nausea and 2months vomiting...and i am happy❤
Thank you so much for the list. Ever since I have taken care of my adrenal gland, I feel much better. Going to doctors visits were useless. I got all the knowledge from watching your videos.
I went back to fasting after a very adveturous era at work. And now im 3 months into fasting by doing 24 to 48 hrs alternatively. I also do ketogenic diet so It feels even more amazing and more energy because i no longer consume fructose and refined sugar or ultra processed food I am no longer a slave to cravings and i always look forward to my next meal. Its no longer something that i need to consume thrice a day but something that i work with 😊
Dr. Berg, your nutritional yeast is absolutely delicious not only in salads, but sprinkled on top of my fried or scrambled eggs and sometimes I love mixing it in with my sauerkraut too. I make my salad dressing from raw cream and raw milk kefir with Sea salt, garlic, and dill spice and when the nutritional yeast hits my salad in this dressing… Well…Just a delicious product… Thank you so much.
I had a coach telling me "stop fasting and eat your damn carbs!" because my blood work and 24 hour urine came back flagged "high". Sp I followed her advice and ended up gaining weight! And still not sleeping and having all kinds of menopause symptoms! And haven't had a day in months without pain! So, 3 days ago I decided that wasn't working and I'm now doing low carb/keto and IF. So glad I came across this! 🙏💗
Intermittent Fasting along with taking magnesium & other relaxing minerals & herbal teas can help you sleep better. Also having some kind of white noise like ocean waves, gentle rain, crickets or even a fan can help you sleep too. Also STOP caffeine by 2pm & SHUT DOWN your ELECTRONICS 30 minutes to 1 hour before bed. 😴❤️
you are amazing great teacher. I had very bad stress that affect my health. now I am going to try my best to reduce my stress. I always appreciate you and I am improving with my health.
Another important thing, which will also help reduce cortisol , promote growth hormone and help the body in healing , that is good loving understanding family atmosphere or friends. Having valuable deep conversations and spending quality time with one's loving family members and friends also does wonders in decreasing cortisol .
Great information. Thanks for continuing to make content like this. I like hearing about the foods I can add that nutritionally correct what might be going on with me.
Thank you for all these videos and your time and effort. You are right Dr Berg with all the health topics you are putting out here. Thank you for giving me tools for improving my health. ❤
Great information as always: thank you so much, Dr. Berg! Strengthening the parasympathic system and its ruler, the vagus nerve, can also be achieved through breathing techniques, singing, meditation, mindfulness, using weight blankets and even hugging (oxytocin as a counteracting hormone to cortisol). It would be so cool if you could make a video about that. ♡ Best wishes to you!
What to do when one has noone to hug or be hugged by! I do have 4 cats so I like to think that helps but I often imagine how soothing it would feel to be hugged or touched by a loved one.
I’m allergic to egg white so when I go to the Whole Foods salad bar I’m so happy to see a bunch of removed yolks from halved boiled eggs leftover in the bin bc so many people are only eating the white part for some reason. It’s such a convenient win win bc I’m not wasting the white and it’s already cooked for me and cut in half so I can choose the dark orange colored yolks over the pale yellow ones. I’m doubtful they’re pasture raised but at least I’m not contributing to food waste by throwing out the whites.
@@petyabor5223 I don’t use too much. I don’t know the measurement, it’s like half a cup at the end of a meal. I do OMAD and honestly this amount feels like too much. You won’t be doing much of any kind of food or drink when you’re fasting which is the only way anyone will get the most out of nutrient dense foods. Once you eat them, it’s the body’s turn to process them. Kefir is just a component that completes the process.

Thank you Dr Berg. You have helped me regain a new life. I've lost around 44 pounds doing keto diet and IF. Would like to know more about the HRV and how one could measure it at home.

WOW!!! This video blew me away. I was diagnosed a few years ago with Gastro paresis and I was told by my doctor to help it. I needed to avoid pretty much every thing that you said is the best food on this list especially leafy green vegetables additionally, I was advised to eat smaller meals during the day Yet you put a lightbulb on when you shared Gastro is basically an issue with high blood sugar. I had a feeling my blood sugar was off yet. I couldn’t pinpoint it and my doctors always said I was fine in that arena since I retired, I have been working on lowering my anxiety and depression Through finding what makes me happy. I’ve always loved salad and found it would make me feel better so I started eating more and then doing that. I notice it made me feel better. 3:40 AM and I’m watching this video and I’m amazed at what you’re telling meand how I can heal myself. Thank you for enlightening me on how to fully heal my gastroparesis. As someone who loves bread, I will be donating my order to a local charity versus consuming it on a positive note. The bread doesn’t have any sugar in is made with all organic ingredients yet based on what you shared, Dr. Eric ❤️❤️❤️☀️☀️☀️ that is not in my best interest moving forward. Thank you for helping me and others heal ourselves and be and become better.
Eventhough it eat fully organic, 24 hours fast, no sugar and I eat everything on the list. Sometimes I wake op anxious, the unsetteling feeling in my stomach, like you forget something or like something is wrong. i just kick out of bed wash my face, brush my teeth and get productive or start walking outside and it helps straigh away, but I wish I could. Wake up a little bit more relaxed, less overthinking in those moments just more Zen. I wish I knew what I could do
It’s soo true what Dr berg says I do a 48hr fast the omad and then a narrow eating frame 2 meals , the calmness from a fast it’s like a feeling like you have had a glass of water from the fountain of youth 😌
@@rebeccabriggs2982 I know what you mean and have felt with it before. Maybe if you would extend it to another day you will feel the positive results. Sometimes the first day can worsen anxiety but for me it always went away after an 48 hrs or even longer fast :)
I know it’s hard to get out of bad eating habits of a life time and I was quiet unsure how I was going to handle my first fast but I thought I owe this to my body that has put up with a lifetime of carbs and sugars with the guide of Dr bergs vlogs ( he has such a calming voice he sets you up positive already) I just pushed myself I kept thinking I am going to feel dizzy from not eating I might faint etc but strangely no it was like my brain didn’t fight it but embraced the fast , the feeling at the end is what you want your brain to crave and accept and enjoy every moment of mouthful of nourishing food and strangely I found myself eating slowly like every mouthful was so intense ,just my experience 😌
@@rebeccabriggs2982Dr Berg’s videos /articles on anxiety, b1, unfortified nutritional yeast, potassium, magnesium and on the benefits of fasting correctly may help.
I eat all of that except sunflower seeds and leafy greens. I make my own Sauerkraut. Liver comes from our neighbors grass finished cows. I haven't noticed any benefits eating it. I will still eat those foods because I like it. I'm female, 59 and my belly fat does not budge, no matter what diet I eat, how much I exercise. I've struggled with being fat all my life. I don't care anymore. Nothing works anyway.
@@jeanpaultongeren125 I did Keto for 1.5 years. I lost a lot of weight but only when I started doing extended fasting, like days up to 2 weeks of fasting and after I ate keto again half of the weight came back. I got tired of weighing every bite that crossed my lips. I was hungry all the time. After that time I started eating carnivore and did IF, like eating twice a day within a short period of time. After 4 years of eating like that, and I loved it, ate when hungry and did not measure a thing I had to have my gallbladder removed in 2021. After that I gained weight and now it's not coming off. I started adding Avocadoes, Blueberries, home made Sauerkraut and garlic to my meat after I had bad news about my eyesight from the Optometrist. I've since reversed some of the problems but I'm still waiting to see a specialist in February for my Glaucoma suspect. Otherwise, if I were not fat, I'm healthy as the Retina Specialist said to me, for my age apparently almost everybody has to take some kind of medication. At 59 I don't think I will ever lose my belly fat but as long as I don't lose my eyesight I'm OK with that now. I stopped fighting it.
Leafy greens grown in nutrients rich soil helps. It’s not just a question of cosmetics. It really helps feeling better. You may want to reduce the exercises. Dr Berg’s videos /articles on cortisol may also help.
Hi Dr. Berg… I am very thankful to you for uploading such amazing content. I have been following your videos. Especially Keto diet… I have lost 10kgs in less than 2 months and I feel great. No carb cravings at all. I have PCOD .. would really appreciate if you could do a special video on diet and supplements for PCOD women. Great work !
💚 Thank you Dr Berg, I have been researching exactly on this topic and your explanation and recommendations are easy to understand and practical..... Kind regards from South Australia....
Soaked chia seed does it for me. I genuinely simply feel 'happier' if I ate a lot of soaked chia. Don't eat it dry though, that leads to all kinds of problems in high amounts.
Your body wont absorb the nutrients from seeds anyway. Thats how seed work. They are ment to be digested and get nytrient from poop that will make the seedd sprut and grow
Thought it was just me thinking I felt better taking my probiotics at night, to me it's when my body is processing everything I ate that day and a good time for restoring gut health
I've been concerned about cortisol and my heart rate variability so this is timely. I try to do what I can to improve my stress, and thought I was doing fairly well, but my HRV seems to confirm I'm not where I want to be. Guess I'll get my cortisol tested and eat more of these foods. I'll have to consider behavioral adjustments too, I guess, and look into how I can change my exercise.
Amazing topic.Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Your information is really great content and useful as usual. Have a nice weekend dr Berg
I am so very grateful to you Dr Berg for the amazing research that you do then share with us. You have put me on the road to a more productive lifestyle and a very healthy eating plan. You are a true blessing ❤ Im off now to make my spinach, parsley, moringa juice before going to bed. May you receive blessings in abundance.
Since 1997 I've have and still high Cortisol levels= Obesity and something to shrink Cortisol and stubborn belly fat in side my stomach I'm working out bit by bit to get rid of that
Long-term low carb along with IF have overtime given me extremely high cortisol. I now need to fix that, but I am so good on low-carb high-fat it's hard for me to break from it. Worst of all, I have been in long seasons of my body NOT desiring and NOT being able to enjoy salads.
I was taken to dinner last evening. I had a cup of fried rice, and went ahead and ate it---I've been doing keto, but having trouble with cortisol I think, like the longer I fast the higher my sugar is? In the mid 200s (yeah diabetes is not fair). The rice I had last evening had spawned a blood glucose in the 400s within two hours. It's really hard. "Healthy foods" shaft me.
Thank you, Dr Berg. I’m not vegetarian, but I don’t eat meat (I eat dairy and fish, but allergic to shellfish). Are plant based proteins as effective as animal proteins? My cortisol has increased tremendously since menopause🤦🏼♀️
I was interested in an herb - ashwaganda but I think it mite make me too sleepy as I already take a medicine with GABA. So since am careful about my diet I will look at FOODS that lower cortisol....as stress and anxiety I want to reduce so I can focus.
My cortisol went up to 300 then suddenly down to 3 … the pain was crucial and gain weight 🤦♀️ … they did an infusion of cortisol and still haven’t being able to loose weight no matter what I do
Robert Sapolsky who is a neuroendocrinologist, says that eating starchy foods lowers cortisol. The source is in his youtube lectures or his audible book "Stress and Your Body".
Dr Berg, I am concerned because I watch your videos all the time and you always show up in my news feed. You have not been in my news feed for a while now and that doesn’t make sense. Just wondering if you know why? If there has ever been a more helpful page on RUclips, I would be surprised. I can tell you again that I take your advice so often , as I am a private caregiver, and your right do often that I don’t second guess you. Your great at explaining in a way that is understood in a short time. I don’t put my name on people often, but I recommend listening to Dr Berg. Listen to yourself too as well as your doctor, but often the doctors overlook a simple vitamin deficiency in d people . Old people are really sensitive to deficiencies which can have some serious symptoms, (again in old people.). They can bounce fast too. I mean you can fix it fast if you know that they are deficient. Potassium, and magnesium are common. Anyway, I will find you a doctor Berg either way. But you might check and see if something is limiting your channel. 😅
Gr8 video! Dr Berg will you please do a video on nir light therapy for breast cancer/chemo patients. As well as lipoatrophy/lipodystrophy please Greatly appreciated. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
How about Menopause? I just got this during menopause.....horrible stomach problems, high heart rate, anxiety in the morning and more. Ketogenic and fasting stressed me so much it actually got worse. Nothing for women in peri and postmenopause
Many thanks Dr. Berg 💙⭐️💙 Following your lead has been life changing for me. Finally learning how to eat, & how to function without pharmaceuticals⭐️✅ I’m finally thriving, not just surviving ♥️⭐️♥️ Blessings to all🌻
1:03 - “TODAY, WE ARE NOT BEING CHACED BY TIGERS…” True, but some of us who live in certain cities are being chased by criminals who want to rob, mug and/or kill us.” I was kidnapped and carjacked at gunpoint by two thugs in downtown Atlanta. They threatened to kill me during the whole ordeal. I relive the trauma frequently.
The best foods to lower cortisol and stress:
1. Egg yolks
2. Organ meats
3. Nutritional yeast or sunflower seeds
4. Dark leafy green vegetables
5. Salmon and other fatty fish
6. Probiotics and fermented foods (sauerkraut, kefir, pickles, kimchi)
Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Watch the oxalates with the dark leafy greens. Spinach, chard , and rhubarb are the highest in oxalate .
My pleasure!

I know it’s hard to get out of bad eating habits of a life time and I was quiet unsure how I was going to handle my first fast but I thought I owe this to my body that has put up with a lifetime of carbs and sugars with the guide of Dr bergs vlogs ( he has such a calming voice he sets you up positive already) I just pushed myself I kept thinking I am going to feel dizzy from not eating I might faint etc but strangely no it was like my brain didn’t fight it but embraced the fast , the feeling at the end is what you want your brain to crave and accept and enjoy every moment of mouthful of nourishing food and strangely I found myself eating slowly like every mouthful was so intense ,just my experience 😌
@@rebeccabriggs2982Dr Berg’s videos /articles on anxiety, b1, unfortified nutritional yeast, potassium, magnesium and on the benefits of fasting correctly may help.
Reading the list gives a bit of reason as to why I crave a good chunk of it all at once.
😂 I bet! Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on cortisol may help with more data.
Dr Eric Berg is GREAT - RUclips has become DISGUSTING
I eat all of that except sunflower seeds and leafy greens. I make my own Sauerkraut. Liver comes from our neighbors grass finished cows. I haven't noticed any benefits eating it. I will still eat those foods because I like it. I'm female, 59 and my belly fat does not budge, no matter what diet I eat, how much I exercise. I've struggled with being fat all my life. I don't care anymore. Nothing works anyway.
I hear you, so discouraging!:(
not even Keto?
@@jeanpaultongeren125 I did Keto for 1.5 years. I lost a lot of weight but only when I started doing extended fasting, like days up to 2 weeks of fasting and after I ate keto again half of the weight came back. I got tired of weighing every bite that crossed my lips. I was hungry all the time. After that time I started eating carnivore and did IF, like eating twice a day within a short period of time. After 4 years of eating like that, and I loved it, ate when hungry and did not measure a thing I had to have my gallbladder removed in 2021. After that I gained weight and now it's not coming off. I started adding Avocadoes, Blueberries, home made Sauerkraut and garlic to my meat after I had bad news about my eyesight from the Optometrist. I've since reversed some of the problems but I'm still waiting to see a specialist in February for my Glaucoma suspect. Otherwise, if I were not fat, I'm healthy as the Retina Specialist said to me, for my age apparently almost everybody has to take some kind of medication. At 59 I don't think I will ever lose my belly fat but as long as I don't lose my eyesight I'm OK with that now. I stopped fighting it.
Leafy greens grown in nutrients rich soil helps. It’s not just a question of cosmetics. It really helps feeling better. You may want to reduce the exercises. Dr Berg’s videos /articles on cortisol may also help.
@@jeanpaultongeren125 not even keto or carnivore for me :( but i still eat keto for the health benefits.
Thank you for keeping videos focused and noting at the beginning in concise way what you’re focusing on in the video and what not.
No problem. Glad you liked my presentation. Stay safe!
Hi Dr. Berg… I am very thankful to you for uploading such amazing content. I have been following your videos. Especially Keto diet… I have lost 10kgs in less than 2 months and I feel great. No carb cravings at all. I have PCOD .. would really appreciate if you could do a special video on diet and supplements for PCOD women. Great work !
Dr Berg made a few videos on PCOD, PCOS, and situations connected with this.
💚 Thank you Dr Berg, I have been researching exactly on this topic and your explanation and recommendations are easy to understand and practical..... Kind regards from South Australia....
Glad it helps!
❤❤🙏 Thanks alot dr Berg.Your information is always useful plus informative.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Thank you Dr Berg. You have saved me over and over again ❤
My pleasure!
Soaked chia seed does it for me. I genuinely simply feel 'happier' if I ate a lot of soaked chia. Don't eat it dry though, that leads to all kinds of problems in high amounts.
Whaaatt? I love dry chia seeds!😮
Your body wont absorb the nutrients from seeds anyway. Thats how seed work. They are ment to be digested and get nytrient from poop that will make the seedd sprut and grow
@@anonymousavatar6144 the problem is that if you eat them in large amounts they can clumb in your stomach. They're great for a garnish of course.
@@Trazynn Thank you for the reply! 🤗
@@anonymousavatar6144 they absorb liquid in the intestines and can make you constipated or blocked in high quantities
Thought it was just me thinking I felt better taking my probiotics at night, to me it's when my body is processing everything I ate that day and a good time for restoring gut health
fermented pickles of course, not the standard vinegar preserved ones. ;-)
I've been concerned about cortisol and my heart rate variability so this is timely. I try to do what I can to improve my stress, and thought I was doing fairly well, but my HRV seems to confirm I'm not where I want to be. Guess I'll get my cortisol tested and eat more of these foods. I'll have to consider behavioral adjustments too, I guess, and look into how I can change my exercise.
God bless you for such valuable and priceless information ❤❤
I'm glad you liked this post.
Thank you very much doctor sir 🙏
You're most welcome!

Since 1997 I've have and still high Cortisol levels= Obesity and something to shrink Cortisol and stubborn belly fat in side my stomach I'm working out bit by bit to get rid of that
Good luck with that!
Meditation is the best way to control cortisol without medication
Thank you - I like this format, dr Berg. This information is very helpful if you want to understand the WHY and the HOW! 😊
You're absolutely welcome!
Long-term low carb along with IF have overtime given me extremely high cortisol.
I now need to fix that, but I am so good on low-carb high-fat it's hard for me to break from it.
Worst of all, I have been in long seasons of my body NOT desiring and NOT being able to enjoy salads.
Excellent sir thanks
I was taken to dinner last evening. I had a cup of fried rice, and went ahead and ate it---I've been doing keto, but having trouble with cortisol I think, like the longer I fast the higher my sugar is? In the mid 200s (yeah diabetes is not fair). The rice I had last evening had spawned a blood glucose in the 400s within two hours. It's really hard. "Healthy foods" shaft me.
Thank you, Dr Berg. I’m not vegetarian, but I don’t eat meat (I eat dairy and fish, but allergic to shellfish). Are plant based proteins as effective as animal proteins? My cortisol has increased tremendously since menopause🤦🏼♀️
I was interested in an herb - ashwaganda but I think it mite make me too sleepy as I already take a medicine with GABA. So since am careful about my diet I will look at FOODS that lower cortisol....as stress and anxiety I want to reduce so I can focus.
In Dr.Berg I trust❤ thank you Dr.Berg!
Master!! 🥰, you are some sort of sent Angel, thank you!! we need you 💯💯
Very glad to be of help.
I've followed these principles covered by Dr. Berg to a great benefit, with substantial energy and mental attitude improvements (healthy and happy).
So cool to read!
Thank you
Always look on the bright side of life
Thanks for that inspiring message. Have a nice day!
Thank you for specifying "wild caught salmon". That farmed crap even comes with warnings!
Thanks Doc. This is valuable info!

My cortisol went up to 300 then suddenly down to 3 … the pain was crucial and gain weight 🤦♀️ … they did an infusion of cortisol and still haven’t being able to loose weight no matter what I do

Thanks dr berg ❤❤❤❤
Sure. Hope you enjoyed watching the video.

Robert Sapolsky who is a neuroendocrinologist, says that eating starchy foods lowers cortisol. The source is in his youtube lectures or his audible book "Stress and Your Body".
Thank you Eric and team......blessings from Sydney Australia.
You're absolutely welcome!
Dr Berg, I am concerned because I watch your videos all the time and you always show up in my news feed. You have not been in my news feed for a while now and that doesn’t make sense. Just wondering if you know why? If there has ever been a more helpful page on RUclips, I would be surprised. I can tell you again that I take your advice so often , as I am a private caregiver, and your right do often that I don’t second guess you. Your great at explaining in a way that is understood in a short time. I don’t put my name on people often, but I recommend listening to Dr Berg. Listen to yourself too as well as your doctor, but often the doctors overlook a simple vitamin deficiency in d people . Old people are really sensitive to deficiencies which can have some serious symptoms, (again in old people.). They can bounce fast too. I mean you can fix it fast if you know that they are deficient. Potassium, and magnesium are common. Anyway, I will find you a doctor Berg either way. But you might check and see if something is limiting your channel. 😅
Yes. Please see this video: ruclips.net/video/ETonDtzkETw/видео.html
Thank you Dr. Berg for all you do for Humanity God Bless you.
We love you from here Ecuador to the Moon.
You're absolutely welcome!
Gr8 video!
Dr Berg will you please do a video on nir light therapy for breast cancer/chemo patients.
As well as lipoatrophy/lipodystrophy please
Greatly appreciated.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
His existing videos on light therapy, on breast cancer and on absorption of vitamin D may help already.
Thank you so much Dr.Berg..❤️🌹
You are so welcome!
How about Menopause? I just got this during menopause.....horrible stomach problems, high heart rate, anxiety in the morning and more. Ketogenic and fasting stressed me so much it actually got worse. Nothing for women in peri and postmenopause
Many thanks Dr. Berg 💙⭐️💙
Following your lead has been life changing for me.
Finally learning how to eat, & how to function without pharmaceuticals⭐️✅
I’m finally thriving, not just surviving ♥️⭐️♥️
Blessings to all🌻

Amazing topic .Thank you very much for your really useful information as usual. Have a nice weekend dr Berg.
1:03 - “TODAY, WE ARE NOT BEING CHACED BY TIGERS…” True, but some of us who live in certain cities are being chased by criminals who want to rob, mug and/or kill us.” I was kidnapped and carjacked at gunpoint by two thugs in downtown Atlanta. They threatened to kill me during the whole ordeal. I relive the trauma frequently.
Dr Berg’s videos /articles on trauma, on anxiety, ect, may help.
