This dudes voice is more calming than ashwagandha.😅
🙊
Weird
he already knows, we are stressed af 😅
I may hire him to come along along with me daily just to reduce my stress...
Facts!
''Talk to your doctor before taking Ashwagandha'' my doctor would look at me like I was an alien..
Lol right
🤣🤣🤣
Stupid DUMB Dumb Cabal owned Medical Doctors
sad, but true
Exactly. It always ends with abrupt dismissal. I told mine yesterday research it and🎉 get back to me. You owe me that much. Show youre trying.❤
can't say it works for everyone but it works for me, it's been my miracle Cure against anxiety and depression and changed my whole life.
What was your Dosage and duration of medication ?
How long can I take it
This also worked for my anxiety, I also have better sleep!
Ashwaganda helped drop my blood pressure from 147 over 91 to 123 over 73
Please check out Dr. Eric Berg's electrolyte powder, many people are deficient in potassium.
Wow 😮 That is awesome. May I ask how long it took and what dose?
it totally helped a lot with my blood pressure as well. thanks for sharing.
I've been battling with general anxiety disorder and ADHD since forever. I am 38 years old male now, married with two kids.
I took SSRI (Zoloft) for 23 years to battle my anxiety (general anxiety often perpetuated by my ADHD thought processing). It helped but numbed me down, I got "flat emotions", indifference, apathy and sexual problems as well. Wellbutrin add-on was beneficial for the sexual problems but it didn't take away the emotional flatness. Later on, I was diagnosed with ADHD (with out hyperactivity) and started vyvanse (a live safer, but needs to be cycled right in order to avoid tolerance).
I have now weaned off the SSRI, but the withdrawal was horrible. I stumbled off on aswandganda and it made my weaning off 1000x more tolerable. I am now SSRI-free is since 1 year, and I take 500 mg aswandganda extract each day. Couldn't be more happier. So 500 mg aswandganda, 150 mg wellbutrin and 50 mg vyvanse (one day per week I dont take, due to avoiding tolerance, during summer vacation I also skip vyvanse) is a very stableing protocol for me against ADHD symptoms and anxiety.
I took 850mg tablet twice a day. In the morning and in the evening after food. For six months. I found my body was light to me I felt very easy to move. I was always smiling in office. My colleague asked me the how you are smiling always.
Great sir, keep smiling
May I know sir where you bought aswaghanda tablet....thank you.
Congratulations for the scientific and based information. I'm a professor in Canada and I'm happy that a RUclips channel talking about supplements is completely unbiased. I look forward to seeing a video on Inositol. Thank you very much!
Thank you! Yes I’m also interested in the evidence behind Inositol
Inositol definitely helps with anxiety. Instantly.
ASHWAGANDHA ➕️ SHILAJIT BEST COMBINATION USE N SEE OVER 10000 YRS WORKING IN BHARATMATA MOTHER INDIA ITS BEST NO DOUBT
Based information 😂 Nice
At some point I thought that the way is touse the least amount of herbs... but how I changed my mind. I see great results cycling them in a special way. Get 20 different herbs, and take 2 of them each day, rotate them so that you have something cor every day but each herb is only taken once every 10 days. This way you will minizme tolerance and maximize benefits.
My doctor recommended Ashwagandha 10 years ago for me and I have been taking it ever since for stress and anxiety management.
Hi Jenny do you take a break from Ashwagandha or use continuous, assuming it works if you have taken it that long?
@@JJ-jl1ge I take breaks from Ashwagandha on the weekends usually unless it's going to be a work day or I have to do something that stress me out.
@jennyd3440 what brand and dose please?
I take valarian root and ashwaganda. It has helped tremendously with my stress and anxiety. I also notice i dont get triggered or angered as easily
Dude, I spend a lot of time on youtube and I very rarely subscribe after one video.
I'm 4 minutes in, and you just earned a subscriber
Ashwagandha has definitely helped me. I think you forgot to mention that Ashwagandha boosts testosterone as well. Im starting to notice more hair growth
When do you take it? Before sleep?
I also take Vitamin B12 tablets, but in the morning after breakfast
@@lavatr8322 I take Ashwagandha in the morning. Have you taken it yet?
@@lavatr8322methylcobalamine, not synthetic
I suffer from severe depression and ashgawandha has been a huge help. The hardest part about using it is spelling it correctly.
Your sense of humor is evidence that you are beating your depression. Good for you.
ashhhhhh wa gan daaaa
I heard it can’t be taken long term… not sure if it’s true. 🤔🤔
----- I took ashwaganda for a long time, 3..4 days per week. I liked the effect on psychology and regulation of sex drive. However, and that's a big one: It caused inflammation of the liver, AST got as high as 40. When I took it off, all other things roughly the same, AST returned to 28 after 8 months. So, if you start taking it, observe your liver enzymes...ashwaganda is toxic to the liver becareful not to take too much !
What brand of the supplement are you currently taking?
Thanks 😊
There is significant research supporting the use of ashwagandha for thyroid problems, too. I took it for hypothyroidism, in conjunction with amla, and found profound benefits, even to the extent that my doctor reported that I no longer needed thyroid medication. However, when I later stopped taking ashwagandha my thyroid hormones became unbalanced again, although it took a period of several years to do so. Back on ashwagandha! The amla normalised cholesterol levels.
I had the same effect. 6 months on ashwandha normalized my thyroid. I had very mild hypothyroidism and was sensitive to thyroid meds (caused severe tachycardia). Ashwandha did the trick!
@@notapplicable9970 Amazing.
Can you take ashwaganda alongside levothyroxine?
@@agomes6455 I did, and when I had my blood test taken later my doctor told me I no longer had hypothyroidism. I continued to take ashwagandha.
That's awesome! Thanks for replying
Ashwagandha name itself came from ancient Indian medical science called Ayurveda. Glad to see people worldwide exploring Ayurveda.
Thank you Dr. for sharing the updates on research. I have been taking ashawanda for 2 years and it really improved the quality of my life.
One of the best videos on Ashwagandha on RUclips.
I was a bit skeptical to take it due to the warnings about potential stomach problems associated. I have taken it twice now and it helped me so much. I will continue to do a trial to see if it helps during my severe pms. No stomach problems so far.
L-theanine completely eradicated the sleep paralysis I’ve had about 4 nights a week for the last decade, and also my sleep walking & night terrors that I experienced a few nights a year. Ashwaganda (specifically ksm-66) helped me stop binge eating once I increased my dosage to 300 mg twice daily. Oh, and the ashwaganda helped me stay asleep for at least 7-8 hours a night as opposed to the 3-6 hours I was getting a night. I came to this conclusion because I tested the L-theanine and ashwaganda several weeks apart before deciding to take both of them together. Love it. Personally, I take Nature’s Bounty. A 45 day supply is around $16 at Walmart. No need for expensive ksm-66 ashwaganda. As long as the back of label shows ksm-66, you can rest assured the cheap stuff is going to work as well as the expensive stuff. And yes, I’ve taken expensive ashwaganda that said ksm-66. There was no difference in benefits.
Does either lower bp? My bp is already low. Does it also help with physical panic attack symptoms?
Have you had consistent results? It doesn't start losing effect as you get used to it.? I take magnesium and L-theanine I want to add Ashwagandha
I hope the l-Theanine you use is the Suntheanine. It is the best, the regular l-Theanine is inexpensive, cheap & not the best by far.. Google and learn, thank you. Joseph. Oh for sleep you can add a dab of castor oil on each eye lid 30 min., before bed or take a chamomile tea bag (not used) and inhale 10 times per each nostril. Last inexpensive thing is Essential oil, called: Good Night Oil, take 1 Tsp of water (in any little cap or small plate) and 2 drops of essential oil, mix, then apply a little on each wrist and a dab on you nose (bridge) that way you can inhale that and sleep. If anyone has mental illness I may be able to help. No fee at all.
You ever check your liver enzymes?
I am only replying to your query Regarding Panic Attacks as I do know from my own past history of having them . The Panic attacks I experienced were horrible , thought I was going to die of heart attack I was scared to breath properly really scary lasted hours on end for years it went on . Until one day I saw a stand in psychiatrist at my appointment THANK GOD not the same one I’d seen for over 2 yrs , (I’d been on anti depressants the whole time seeing that one ) but the stand in said to me THERE WAS NOT ONE PERSON EVER IN THE WORLD TO DIE OF A PANIC ATTACK NOT A SINGLE CASE EVER 😳 !! Then she told me WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE ANOTHER PANIC ATTACK …….. JUST CONCENTRATE ON YOUR BREATHING NOTHING ELSE BUT YOUR BREATHING AND ALL TJE PANIC ATTACK SYMPTOMS WILL STOP HAPPENING !!! The panic attacks will be over very quickly AND SHE WAS RIGHT !! It’s all down to the breathing going off track that caused my symptoms to escalate . After that woman told me I wasn’t going to die during a panic attack I only had one episode which lasted a few minutes . I focused on my breathing deep breath in slowy breathing out . IN TEN YEARS IVE NEVER HAD ANOTHER ONE TO DEAL WITH . I hope this helps you & anyone else & please share the info to help stop others having these horrible SYMPTOMS thank you . Oh I weaned off the anti depressants too 1 every other day for 2 wks then 1 every 2 days for 2 wks etc . GOD BLESS ALL
I just started taking this a week ago. I suffer from anxiety and always have high stress levels. I started working out about a year ago and I still have anxiety issues. So when I started taking ashwagandha I found my stress and anxiety has gone down to near zero. The underlining anxiety i always feel is gone. I been in SSRIs and nothing works as well as this stuff does. Im actually pretty upset with the medical establishment for hiding this from me. I thought there was no hope. My doctors just want to pump me full of drugs and its sad tbh.
Praise God keep doing well
Don’t you get sides? What about lack of emotions?
lack of emotions is what i need right now.@@adammillsindustries.
This was very, very helpful. Thank you Doctor. I started using a vegan tablet from of this herb 5 weeks ago after about two weeks, I noticed that I am more alert, have more energy and do not "cycle" in the middle of the night which is anxiety related. I haven't had any unpleasant side effects, I am happier, less stressed out and my libido is coming back. I am menopausal, and menopause has played havoc with my metabolism and my ability to sleep at night. Once I hit the 60 day mark, I will take a one month break and decide whether or not to continue to supplement. Other research I read too is that this herb is an adaptogen and a break from it is a good idea.
thank you for sharing your experience!
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. I would like to take it for Menopause, could you tell me which label are you using?
You have a calming voice, might reduce my stress and anxiety as well lol
I must get my bloods done again. I've been taking ashwagandha for the past 2 months mainly for anxiety. I'm post menopausal and hypothyroid also. For over a month now, not only have my anxiety levels decreased phenomenally but my night sweats have almost stopped completely. Every now and then I get a hot flush but nothing like what they used to be and far less frequent and possibly more to do with the spell of hot weather we had here in Ireland. It would be very interesting to see if it has affected my hormone levels. Great video. Thank you for this.
Could you tell me which label are you using? Thanks
I drink a tea at night after my last meal that has organic ashwagandha root along with other herbs. It relaxes me. Thanks for the info.
I'm interested in the tea. Is there a particular brand? Thank you!
I've been taking ashwaganda in the evening routine for a month. No side effects, but no benefits within the first three weeks either. Lately I noticed some mild improvements in my mood. I will continue and take a break after a month two, as I planned. I hope to see the results in the end.
I sleep like a baby after 30 days on ashwagandha, 9 hours of pure baby sleep every night. I usually wake up really early and never was a big sleeper. I don't feel sleepy during the day, I just sleep well.
How long till you started getting better sleep results ?? I’m averaging 4-5 hours of sleep at night and wanted to give this a shot
@@jorges3824 Maybe three weeks
@@akseli5485dosage n timing please. Ty in advance
9 hours?! I'd be very VERY happy if I could get anything near 7 hours
wow~! 😄
I had been tsking Ashwanganda 800-1000 mg every day in 8 years now. I haven not felt any disadvantages from it.
Did you cycle off or you’ve been taking it daily?
@@S.M3660Hi. I had been taking it daily, without cycling on and off. I took it as powder (organic) blended with water.
Damn! This is the only video i found having all, collective info regarding ashwagandha literature studies, Thankyou so much for bring this❤
It might be beneficial to include effect sizes or comments on the clinical relevance of these findings, in addition to reporting if a study presented significant results as you’ve done in the video!
After a severe car crash, being injured & unable to work I was put on Xanax for PTSD, which helped tremendously bc I would panic if I traveled by vehicle, my fiancé always drove, it would calm me down within 15 minutes. Long story short, a previous doctor wouldn’t prescribe it when my former doctor retired, I was told that it caused dementia (😂) after much research, I decided to try Ashwagandha, bc my anxiety is so high again. Took my first dose tonight, 500mg. I’m hoping it helps.
How did it work for you?
@@thatguymichaelhtx hi, I’m taking 500mg twice a day and so far, it’s been good. I an tell a difference by better sleep & more relaxed.
Hey I love your videos and I appreciate all the work you put into using peer reviewed papers to put forward information. If it is not too much extra could you make a quick reference list in the info box at the top, even just the DOIs would be great, sorry if this sounds demanding. Keep up the great work!
thank you for the kind words; that’s a great suggestion
Was looking a natural way to cure my anxierty and tried it for 2 months. I sleep much better and i find that my anxiety tend to be tolerable and whenever i wake up i feel refreshed like i wanna do something beneficial everyday.
Why did u stop though?
I take 60% MDR magnesium at bedtime and just started ashwaganda 1500 mg. I have been sleeping beautifully but of course at 63 I do have to get up and spring a leak.
People might misunderstand the research. When they don't find statistical significance in studies, it doesn't mean that the opposite is true, it is just that they can't find a clear signal on the effect of the substance. If the substance does have an effect, what research does is to improve the method they conduct the study so that the real signal can be detected easier.
Anyway it is still good to know the scenarios that they found effects and those that they didn't.
Im a supplement freak kinda. WIth that in mind, i found a perfect mix for myself. 5g of creatine, 5g of glutamine and 660mg ashwagadha, and i mix it all into my protein shake. I cant remember the last time i had muscle cramps, muscle fatigue, energy deficiency etc.. I use it mostly as a post-workout mix. I cant confirm the mental benefits as im not taking it every day, but id say this thing works. Came across ashwa randomly and jumped to see if there were any medical trials, and was amazed by the results and jumped right on to buy it. When something is medically backed up, you shouldnt think twice to try it out. Same goes for creatine, its been proven to help in sports, so its also a no brainer.
glutamine doesn't really do much if you have a good diet already, a waste of money to buy it additionally.
replace glutamine with omega 3 and you'll waste nothing
Thanks for this informative video on ashwagandha. I started it a couple months ago hoping it would help me, It did then after 1 month on it, and it ramped up my autoimmune disease and it spiraled it has been the longest flare up I ever had still going (but I knew taking it could trigger my autoimmune disease and it does say not to take if you have an autoimmune disease since it buffs up your immune system), so if you have an autoimmune disease please use carefully.
Do you have chrones or colitis autoimmune disease? I have severe colitis. Been on strict carnivore for 3 weeks to cure myself. Really want to try Ashwagandha but don't want to make it worse. 🙏
@@DJPeachyful I would talk to your doctor I have sarcoidosis which has affected my small intestines, skin, eyes, lungs, thyroid, and liver. Ashwagandha basically jump start your immune system so if you are on immunosuppressants or should be or your colitis is autoimmune I wouldn't take ashwagandha. The dose you would need to be effective at would trigger an immune response and could aggravate your autoimmune disease, but I would talk it over with your doctor. Also for colitis I would caution carnivore diet especially if you consume high amount of red meat. I hope you find a solution.
Lets mention that significant does not mean strong effect. It means it is not because of chance. But it could be only a very marginal effect too. I am not sure what is with the graph about muscle damage, it looks like pre-workout had much bigger muscle damage, which does not sound logical. But the difference between the change in the two graph is very small. Probably important for a professional sporter but maybe not significant for average Joe.
I have been using Ashwaganda for better sleep since I have difficulty staying asleep. Before starting Ashwaganda I used to sleep 3-4 hours a night. However, I was consuming 1,000 mg every night until it was making me sleepy all day long. So, after watching this video I understand those 1,000 mg was a very high dosage for me. Because of this, I have decided to have only 1 capsule of 500 mg, which according to this video, is not the highest dosage, but not the lowest. So after I experiment half the dosage, I will come back to this video and let you know how I managed the sleepiness during the day.
How are you feeling now? Did half the dose work for you? 🙏
I’ve been eating about 300mg of Ashwagandha per day for the past 5 years 🎉 I’ve never experienced any health issues because of my long term usage. When I do not take Ashwagandha for a couple of weeks I definetly feel more fatigue and anxiety.
I guess it is then safe to just continue taking it? The herb is also indigenous to my home area, so I guess my body feels good with it 😊
Thanks for providing solid information and review of literature! This is perfect! Subscribed!!
thank you!
So for the first time ever, I did ask my doctor at my yearly check up. She said yeah, I've heard good things about it, go for it. If it doesn't help, let me know.
I was impressed.
Love this! Thank you!
Would also love to see a video on Tongkat Ali and fadogia agrestis
lots of requests for this! will definitely need to explore
I believe in it. You can trust me as im not a doctor
Thanks a million for this video Dr. Leonid Kim MD. Very informative. 👍
thank you for the kind words
It is generalize it to a larger population, and the sample size does not create sampling bias. A smaller sample doesn't mean you can't generalize it, you can generalize if you have a representative sample, even if that sample is small.
IV been drinking it in green tea for about 14 days now after gym an before bedtime it relaxes me an may improve my sleep
I've been on A for 3 mos now and here's what I've found/experienced:
1) I noticed after only a few days that I stopped caring so much about what people think about me. This was a good thing because I had previously cared too much about how others might view me.
2) I also noticed, however, that at 1200 mg, I stopped "caring" a little too much; so much so that I lacked motivation to work and really had to push myself to get things done. Almost like a general feeling of apathy. I scaled back to 600 mg, and found a good "not caring" balance, i.e., regained my motivation to take care of business.
3) Despite "not caring," I still felt/feel as mentally sharp as ever, if not more so.
4) Whereas before, I woke almost every night at 3 am (sometimes could fall back to sleep; sometimes could not), now, I sleep through the night...pretty much every night.
5) Dreams are very interesting. Not better or worse, per se, just very different. It's like I go to a different world. And it's usually the same "different world" although the experiences, people, and surroundings are always different.
6) I haven't necessarily noticed an improvement in memory, but I have noticed an increased ability to remember more dreams and in greater detail, which might be "an improvement in memory"...
7) I've been on the same diet (keto) eating the same food for two years, and had been stuck at 152 lbs for the past 1.5 yrs (I'm actually trying to GAIN weight). After two mos on A, I gained SEVEN pounds...NOT fat but instead solid weight (good weight).
8) I recommended A to my cousin, and he called me a week later thanking me after having his "best sleep in years."
So yeah, whether you're looking for better sleep, interesting dreams, to put some meat on your bones, or just to not give a crappity crap, A might be for you.
@@davidnguyenit I didn't notice a difference. But if you're seeking more desire I would recommend a couple of spoons of olive oil every day. If you're seeking better performance I would recommend chlorella
Thanks for sharing, great comment. 👍
@@lpg12338 You're welcome.
Can you tell me the ashwagandha brand you used please
@@clashwithsteve8768 so, when I wrote the comment, I was taking what was apparently a very high quality powder that I purchased from a pharmacy in Switzerland. I've since run out and have tried 3 or 4 brands here in the US but NONE are of the same quality. Just yesterday I ordered an organic brand that I haven't tried yet; I'll follow up and let you know if it works well.
We Indians are using Ashwagandha for generations. Indian’s population is 1.3billion. Hopeful that helps.
Thanks for the video and information, Dr. Kim
ive been putting a little bit of ashwagandha in my joints for years
I have been taking ashwaganda for ME/CFS. have found it very helpful.
Thank you Dr. Leonid kim.
After analysing these types of video i realised that real life is in India (Himalayas) .. You have every thing natural by God
Great explanation and presentation!
i used the ashwagandha for stress for 3 months and it helped...it stopped the stress attacks i would get...then i waited for 3 more months and started again because i was having night sweats and fatigue...the night sweats left and taking 2 pills at noon helped with fatigue compared to taking them in the morning.
i bought the ones from Wal-Mart...
Dr Berg has a good quality ashwagandha
How much mg
What a great video!
Thank you very much.
thank you
Already details available with our ancient Ayurveda, respect the culture n knowledge n make use of it
Is there any research about side effects from sudden withdrawal from ashwaganda without tapering off?
PSA; Isurvived liver sepsis in 2018 & Ive been taking both Ashwaganda powder & tinvture for 12 years with no problems.
pretty sure stress didn't exist at the time the herb was used in ancient india...what was it used for 2000 yrs ago ?
Very good video. FWIW, I've been taking 900 mgs. of Ashwagandha for many years now, taking a one week break every 2 months. I'm hypothyroid and have a couple of very serious conditions and take 5 medications. It has not had any adverse effects on my blood markers or anywhere else. For about 2 years, I had to add Seriphos to get my cortisol down, but now the Ashwagandha alone is enough.
Ashwaghanda has stopped my panic attacks and also lowered my blood pressure. I had a surgery gone wrong and already had ptsd. I now am improving and i sleep well after chewing the ashwagandha and magnesium glycinate gummy every night.
I am in healthcare- thank you for the scientific backing.
thank you!
Thank for sharing Dr Kim
Is it OK to take it if you have autoimmune disease...
Thank you Dr. Kim, your videos are so thoughtful and great. They give me the right answers before I buy
Mate I like the way you do your stuff. Well done I am a fan🎉
thank you for the kind words
Whatever Mother Nature and Mother Earth gives us, is wisely given to keep body and mind healthy. Only excessive usage can harm a bit.
Ashwagandha forever!
Greetings from Canada. WOW! Great content. Great scientific approach. Keep up the good work!
I do feel an overall wellness feeling
Hello, I am a specialist in Gastroenterology and Hepatology from Germany. Ashwagandha also started gaining some traction in Europe over the last years as I hear from patients and acquaintances about this herbal extract. I only had one experience with the herb when a young woman presented with jaundice under ashwagandha and had cholestatic liver injury. The liver injury resolved after ceasing the intake of ashwagandha.
I am generally skeptical of use of supplements in otherwise healty subjects, as a balanced and healthy diet should provide all the needed nutrients. Even though you were kind enough to provide a review of literature, we still do not know much about long term effects and possible interactions with oder drugs. So unless my patients have a documented illness or deficiency of some nutrient I usually advise against supplements.
But it doesn’t. The varied intake of different foods is almost impossible and extremely expensive. I wouldn’t judge too harshly with ‘1’ patient as your study source. Also, as a farmer I will say that the nutrient absorption level is diminished because of overuse of our soil and the use of herbicides and pesticides (which is necessary to feed 8+ billion humans on this planet.). Unless someone has the time and money to shop at an organic market all the time it simply isn’t realistic.
interesting and fair statement
Under a ton of stress being like a PSW ….personal support worker ….to my mom with diabetes , lactose intolerant, long COVID PURE HELL, being basically a nurse , ashwagandha has hugely helped my sleep, I was having bad insomnia and stress anxiety 😥 adrenal fatigue big time.
I went and saw naturopath and she said for me to use it I told my family doctor I was using it and she did not really approve of it. Why is Western medicine not open to ashwagandha in Canada
If these supplements come there will be less patients that s why they are not telling the benefits of aswagandha😊
Big Pharma wants their profits and doctors are not trained in nutrition.
It’s also because these natural remedies are not studied much during med school.
Conflict of medical interest.
take it 1:1 (on and off) and u should be safe, but there still should be some ,,healty dosage of concernes,, :D
Thanks for the amazing information you shared.👍👍👍
thank you!
Thanks Mr. Doctor
Beautiful and scientific information. Live long....
It works well, however it can cause anhedonia and sexual problems because of its effects on serotonin. Similiar to SSRIs
Ashwagandha can raise your serotonin levels so you're more calm and helps with bipolar also it raises your libido and your sex drive
Please elaborate on this some more.
Thank you
@@hbc511 It desensitizes the 5HT1A Receptor similiar to SSRIs which can cause anhedonia, sexual problems and other bad effects
@@hbc511 Ashwagandha increases the level of serotonin, and serotonin, contrary to what propaganda says, is not a hormone of happiness.
Other way around for me. It increased my libido
To be honest, my memory is gone worst. I forget things a lot more now and dont remeber small things. Yes, i sleep better now.
I'm trying this with my 20 yr old daughter, who developed autism like symptoms at 9, then regressed tremendously lost speech and focus by 12. All tests showed no physical issues brain wise but some slight malformation in the veins in her brain..surgeon said the area had no relevance to her decline. A brain inflammation is suspected and new tests start soon. Our Dr said try it and keep notes. We use it with L-thenine included to reduce her anxiety and stress..also brought on with ASD symptoms.
She takes psychotropic at HS but none all day..and does take mood stabilizer, Buspar during day.
I hope this can eliminate stress and anxiety and increase her focus( she's diagnosed with ADHD early on, we all have that.
So, do you think it's helpful for her and I'm thinking of trying it for same reasons..Focus, anxiety, and overall..stress relief.
Thanks alot for the great information subscribed and looking forward to future your videos
thank you!
Would love to see one on Tongkat Ali
A couple of questions:At what levels do you see anhedonia? Also, are the mg you discuss straight herb or extract? An extract of 15:1 600mg is 7200mg equivalent. Is that does safe?
I took it while I was going through some stressful situations. I did notice it increased my ADHD...I had Hi-def ADHD 😅 anyone else experience that?
There is nothing more 'scientific' than a long history of success. Any new tests should be held in low regard when measured against centuries old healing methods and practices.
Are these daily mg doses for ashwagandha plant/root as such (powdered) or EXTRACT?
The powder is an extract. Those are the same.
I do not take antidepressants any more because I ashwaganda, oh by the way I am 66. I think better, and sleep better
I love it
@Leonid Kim MD I made the rookie mistake and didn't look up the dosage, so I bought Ashwagandha Extra Strength (3000mg!), and the kicker is that I know better as a medical professional. FYI At that dose, it DEFINITELY has significant CYP450 induction and probably affects other metabolic pathways, which I suspected and d/c'd the supplement, and after a few days I went back to feeling normal on my other meds. Thank you for the review! Now I know the correct dose...duh!
Could you make a video about tribulus terrestris and Peruvian maca please 😊🙏
@@shazam2323 none of them gives you testosterone. They just activate the reseptor for the hormone. There's a lot of other benefits from these to herbs besides maybe increasing the reseptors. And if I wanted testo wouldn't be any of your business would it?
Your thumbnail and your actual setting lighting mood and tone is not match lol great channel I love it thank you for the knowledge 📖
haha, still learning this youtube business, big time newb; thank you for the feedback
Can anyone please share a reputable brand for Ashwagandha. I have heard thst one should use Ashwagandha roots and not the leaf variety. Many thanks in advance
I just got Nootropics KSM-66 off Amazon. I just take 1 cap which is 300mg and my anxiety melts away. Blood pressure comes down also.
@@Tigerwolf291 thank you for reverting.
Bruh, I got a bottle of the stuff from Walmart(so the quality isn’t the best) and I’ve found that ashwa whatever knocks me out cold. And I’m taking one a day.
So I got a couple questions. Are there any withdrawal symptoms from stopping. Is it found on drug tests if you are doing it for athletic purposes. And after using it for athletic purposes does the progress go away after you stop taking it. I am assuming your performance goes down too?
I use ashwaghanda as a moodstabiliziser because I can not tolerate lamotrigen. It works so great without the nasty sideeffects from lamotrigen.
thank you for sharing!
What side effects did you face with lamotrigine?
@@LeonidKimMD where do you practice
@@irfancool000 I got 10-15 side effects from lamotrigine. It was like having a very bad flu you thought would kill you. It hurted every where in my body, back,leg,arm,throat,headache,liver,kidneys and a terrible burning. I felt terrible sick
Finally someone that shows the whole truth and not fragments of it.
Please can you do this on longjack/tognkat ali too? Im wondering starting with ashwagandha and tongkat ali to sleep better and get more out of my training
It’s on my list to review! also will be doing a video on sleep
Do you recommend any particular brand?
Thanks so much!
Excellent review. Thank you.
As a person who has lost a lot of my memories and focus after covid twice I am curious about the possibility of this hellping.
I was taking it for a couple months and felt great, anxiety/depression improved, but then I started to feel very nauseous after taking my usual dose, to the point it prevented me from going about my routine for a few hours after taking it, so I stopped 😢 it's been 4 months now and my anxiety levels are high again!
What should be the time to take ashwagandha? Is it same time to deal with stress, anxiety or insomnia ?
Improvements in "executive function" is great for me, as I have more endurance to take my lear jet, golfing with other executives and firing people, as well as more endurance in raising my bonuses and making lots of money.
