In this video, let's talk about adrenal fatigue. The question I want to answer is this: can adrenal fatigue cause you to gain weight?
The first thing you need to know is that the medical profession does not acknowledge adrenal fatigue as a medical problem. They just don't recognize it.
There's a condition called Cushing's syndrome, which is characterized by high cortisol or hypercortisolism. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone, and the adrenal glands are responsible for creating it.
The thing is, you don't just wake up with this Cushing's. It gradually starts and gets worse it worse. The starting point is adrenal fatigue-the same way that prediabetes happens before type II diabetes.
With a full-blown Cushing's syndrome case, you can see these symptoms:
• Visceral fat
• High blood pressure
• Round face
• Red cheeks
• Fatigue
• Anxiety
• Buffalo hump
• Fat-collar bone
• Thin skin
• Decreased libido
• Hypokalemia
• Low vitamin D
• Insomnia
However, people with adrenal fatigue can also experience these symptoms, but they may not be quite as severe.
Let's get back to the question, "Can adrenal fatigue cause weight gain?"
It really depends on how chronic it is. If you have an issue with chronic stress, as opposed to only having occasional stress events, then you can definitely have some weight gain. It also depends on the diet. If you have a bad diet and you have chronic stress, the situation is going to be far worse.
Why does cortisol cause weight gain? The purpose of cortisol is to increase your energy in stressful situations, like being chased by a tiger. However, when that energy (which is sugar in this case) isn't being used-like those who work at a desk-it gets stored as fat. Even worse, cortisol converts your muscle into sugar, which can reduce your muscle mass.
Cortisol also has another function. Along with creating fat, it prevents the burning of fat. This means that you'll have a hard time to get into ketosis.
The key is to start by figuring out where the stress is coming from. Then, you can work towards lowering it. Next, start on Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting. Finally, make sure you are getting plenty of vitamin D, vitamin C, and potassium.

@Dr. Eric Berg DC
I asked my doctor to help me when I started having these symptoms back in 2014, and he just pushed antidepressants at me :(
Your channel has done more to help me than the 4 doctors I have seen in the last 6 years. THANK YOU!
That's wonderful! Yeah most doctors push drugs on you and usher you out of their office. Gobshites.
I experience the same thing. Around 2 years ago and after I tell to the doctor how my skull seems being split in half & after 3 minutes, doctors only prescribed me expensive medication. It turns out that I had a mild stroke. Thats why I only listen to Dr. Berg ❤❤❤
@@RaniaFarislovesRoubi wow...i watched them misdiagnosed my husband 4 times last year...i avoid them like the plaque but i have 2 go bcz i'm on disability & physically impaired.
It took my system 5 years to recover from anti-depressants that I was on for 18 months. The serotonin reuptake inhibitors only cause your system to be less able, not more, to learn how to generate the feel good chemistry

My doctor did the same thing
love that you're making so many vids about stress , adrenal fatigue, cortisol recently. It's such an important topic and we need more information about it
Cod liver oil converted. I do not mind being a sweet sweet fatty. I just want to be healthy and live to a ripe old age. This worryingly all resonates. I think looking right back working at a animal shelter. Either strong disinfectant or animal bites/bug bites set my thyroid issues off. I was a size 12. In a few months size 24. They sacked me from my other job at the time, working in a health store. Lol. I Was at college and training for the London marathon and going out with my friends & studying and working a lot then suddenly I was a elderly looking obese balding women with absolutely no memory. I couldn't even communicate what was wrong with me. My ex at the time took me to the Dr and literally spoke for me. I was just shivering and couldn't even walk short distances. My life has been a trip. Thanks for the knowledge Dr Berg. Baby steps forward are are still steps forward. Keeping at it. I absolutely crave carbs. I think it's possible it's this. Being a biological curiosity I found out Aswaghanda makes me absolutely crazy. Blood rushing, Angry! I can't take that stuff. Or I will Be doing jail time. Makes me wonder x I have a similar issue with my levothyroxine but it is much less. But I have to take it two hours before seeing anyone or I am just snappy and I can feel my blood literally rush. I do wonder about thyroid patients mental health. It has to be absolutely connected x
*a few hours * before. Can you take it at night? I have been. At least then I am just awake and angry, rather than snappy around my loved ones. I do hate this crap. I am greatful I don't have a terminal disease but thyroid disease and obesity? Cognitive issues. I would not wish it on my very worst enemy x
Yes because I have l these issues
I’m
I was diagnosed with ADD at a young age and put on the highest dosage of vyvanse and adderall (yes two prescription both at highest dosage) which led to way too much cortisol, horrible sleep problems, and a lot of adrenal fatigue. I was up to 300 lbs at one time but alhamdulilah I'm down to 170 lbs because of the healthy Keto Diet Plan. Now I'm avoiding caffeine and all stimulants, walking in sunlight and getting good amounts of sleep in hopes to "turn off" my cortisol switch and repair my cognitive abilities naturally, in shaa Allah
Same
Alhamdullilah
You don't want to turn off your cortisol completely, it is 100% needed for life.
@@tanyawieczorek6603I doubt she will be able to turn it completely off, of course
bless you, wish you and all others full recovery
I saw this and immediately thought of military veterans, combat or not, it's a high stress environment, and while they are in, there is an outlet, usually, for the sugars being released, but then they get out or retire, and then it's down hill. Seperation anxiety, loss of purpose, lack of motivation, etc...when I got out of military in 2000, i went from 165lbs to 210lbs, in about 6 months, took me 20 years to beat it. But here is what I know, the old stressors always linger in us, we have to find purpose, and peace with who we are. This video could literally save someones life. Pass it on to a Vet you know that may be struggling.
I can relate to it. Retired in 2001 and blower up to 365 lbs at 2003. Kept having health issues until 2009, got onto a health kick mode and dropped down to 238 lbs by 2018. Now l have kept between 235 and 245 lbs today. Attitude and persistent made a big difference.
its not common to get cushings from stress its most commonly a tumour. i feel like this video is a bit misleading. cushings is deathly.
not minimising ptsd but its very rare to get cushings this way.
@@princessadora What caused the tumor though? Stress can cause tumors that lead to cushings.
I put a teaspoon of magnesium sulfate mixed 600ml of water in an ultrasonic mister and leave that running overnight while I sleep.
That keeps trace amounts in the blood stream while sleeping and breathing the mist.
I wake up feeling like I've been massages all night while sleeping, its super relaxing!!
Rodney, thank you for the idea!!!
Now that's clever! Might try it, thanks
I am not surprised that I consider you the top educator in this field. Doing the homework for the rest of us makes me aware of the real reason for you being in the health care profession. Thank you.
I have a functioning Adrenal Adenoma (not a pituitary tumor, but a small benign tumor (nodule…mass) on my right Adrenal Gland is why I’m watching this.
“Other than that, you are going to be perfectly fine....” 😂 Dr Berg, you are super funny with that dry sarcasm humor
Now I know what the condition is I've experienced for years. My belly got so big when I sat down it was nearly to the floor. My daughter used to say I looked like a frog because I had big belly and tiny legs. I've lost about 240 lbs so far doing low carb/keto. Getting the muscles to build in my legs has been a struggle. Taking adaptogenic herbs has helped n now I sleep 6 to 7 hours usually.
Wow, congradulations on 240 lbs lost ! Dayum! You doing IF as well ? I took a collagen peptide powder (Dr. Axe and Primal Kitchen) and sprinkled into my morning coffee to rebuild the back of my upper leg and butt muscles. Dr. Berg recommends having ALL amino acids available and that's what i did. And of course other nutrients as well like the nutritional yeast, cod liver oil, etc...
@@lillypod1337 what is ' ALL' stand for in ALL amino acids ? I have the same problem. Really need some help to educate myself 😅.
That is awesome...I wish for you to have continued strength and hope.
cushings is most commonly caused by a tumour. you can't get rid of it with a diet.
🎉wow! Congratulations!
Thank you for explaining. I was wondering how my body all of a sudden changed not because of food but from my fatigue, stress and insulin increase. I'm now more aware of it then ever and constantly trying to improve.
I had a right adrenal adenoma that caused Conns and Cushing's syndrome. I had a right adrenalectomy in 2018. It looks like the Cushing's has returned and the remaining adrenal will be removed. I will need to take replacement hydrocortisone but it is better than dealing with uncontrollable and autonomous cortisol and aldosterone secretion. Dr. Bergs advice is still very useful for my situation. I will be going back to a ketogenic diet once the Cushing's is resolved.
Wish my Doctor had this understanding... What a crazy world we live in... Thanks Dr Berg
And if you try to share with them what you suspect is wrong, they get arrogant and belittle what you say. If you want to see a doctors God complex, tell them something outside what their med school taught them.
@@GameChanger597 and doctors even fatshames us and gives us disgusting look bout our fat body
Dr Berg the reason the medical profession doesn't recognize adrenal fatigue is because most ppl over 30 are suffering from it and they would have to admit there's something very wrong with our diet and lifestyle and then if they had to tell everyone to do healthy keto and reduce stress then everyone would be too healthy and hence, non profitable.
Exactly. They have to come up with a drug first before they admit anything.
Not mention bombarding people with stress and worry through politics.
Dr Berg, of course Knows that without a doubt. It's why he did what he does & thousands of testimonies, how he saved them from the lies of the Medical Mafia.
Of course he knows that. It's why he does what he does.
Thank you
Why the bit B1?
I have been reading studies showing that chronic fatigue is associated with chronic inflammation. Could this also be one reason (besides stress) for adrenal fatigue? Of course, stress and inflammation are also connected.
hi i was diagnosed with adrenal failure by an alternative therapist in the 90s who had me regularly detoxing and doing elimination diets which i have continued to use all my life every 2 years i do a 2 month detox. i had a lot of stress at home and at work. some 20 years later diagnosed with CFS/ME and sleeping for up to 5 days at a time and gained a tonne of weight
doing my best via alternative therapies and raft of consultants to bring my body back into healing. its difficult. and expensive! if there are any research papers and clinical findings on these conditions i would love to know about it. in the interim i am doing a lot of intermittent fasting and raw vegetable juicing, and 2 small protein meals a day. ive more or less managed to give up sugar dairy and wheat. embracing health. its an investment. i love Dr Berg. hes amazing
I literally clicked on the video because I am exhausted and I think it's due to chronic inflammation. I am going through a lot of medical tests, the doctors aren't finding the cause of my all symptoms so far...
I wish there would be trained diagnosis centers. This is frustrating.
@@AngeliqueBecerra Do they check for markers of inflammation?
Another idea would be to check for your Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio as an alternative indicator.
Also, I have videos on how to reduce inflammation (based on science). Might be worth a shot for you.
@@optimizewithscience8883 thank you so much for your answer! I spend my evenings trying to find valid hypothesis to explore as it really is ruining my daily life.. I'd never heard of 'inflammation markers' before, so no. I'm seeing my doctor next week so I'll bring it up. Thank you! 🙏 I'm going to check those videos tonight for sure.
@@AngeliqueBecerra The easiest lab test for inflammation is to check for the C-reactive protein. You want it as low as possible. Ideally not detectable. Theoretically everything below 5mg/L is considered "normal" but trust me, studies show that everything above 1mg/L isn't healthy...
I have high cortisol but I've been losing weight like crazy due to thyroid issues. I was also diagnosed with autoimmune. All my health issues began during a time of high stress: lots of family deaths, losing my home, moving to a new state, and bf at the time having a baby with another woman. The west isn't taught how to handle stress or the importance of the mind-body connection.
I hope you dumped the boyfriend. I'm so sorry you went through all that
@@GameChanger597 oh I dumped him alright and never looked back. Thank you!
@@jenCo2020 why thank you 🙏 I have a less stressful lifestyle now.
An important update:
I started gaining weight and my health began to decline again. But this time the doctors finally figured out I have Cushing’s disease - a benign pituitary tumor that has been causing chronically high cortisol levels. I guess that stressful period in my life simply made it worse.
I think it’s important for people to be aware of this so they can get thoroughly checked and diagnosed early on, as Cushing’s can be fatal in the long run. I literally went years suffering endlessly because I brushed off my symptoms as simply adrenal fatigue and never thought it could actually be a tumor. I’m due for surgery in the upcoming months. Blessings to all 🙏
Also, I still think reducing stress or learning to cope with it through a mind-body connection is still important. I’ve begun doing Qigong, meditation, long walks in nature. And although it hasn’t cured my tumor, I think I’d be way worse off without these.
Thats good news,I'm glad you found the root of your problem,I do have a question,how did you get diagnosed about the tumor? did the Dr performed a ct scan? @@OneUnderground
Sometimes you think you’ve heard everything and you play it a second time and go WOW 🤯 what’s “glucogenesis” ? Wondering more details on that……💯👍🏼
YES! I JUST bought your adrenal fatigue formula!
My Dr believes in adrenal fatigue & I have ALL the symptoms. Negative Cushings test. Thank you for this information, it helps understand & hopefully self treat!
did you get better? how we can get red of those symptoms ?
Hi Dr Berg, this video makes perfect sense for people who suffer from earlier stages of adrenal fatigue with high cortisol. What about those with later stages where the adrenals are burned out and can't produce enough cortisol at night such as me? For a good 2-3 months, I tried to eat keto but was never able to get into ketosis (on the test strip) as I could never sleep through the night without the symptoms of hypoglycemia (despite the glucose number was within normal range), which made my body even more stressed, and the blood sugar number, along with my belly, gradually trended up. Finally I decided to add a little brown rice of quinoa back to dinner, then I was able to sleep through the night and the blood sugar, along with my belly, gradually came down to the previous normal stage. In a sense, the keto diet brought me more stress. Could you make a video explaining this? Love all your videos!
Hey there…Im reading through the comments and found your story..I know its been two years, but how’s it going now? Did you continue to see better results by adding some carbs with your last meal of the day? So many similarities with your story.
Wow! So glad you figured it out!
This is the same for me, keto made me worse
Wow! What a wealth of information. Thanks Dr. Berg.
this dr is a genius...... his explanations are so detailed and clear and at the same time straight to the point...... its amazing how he summarises complex and lenghty info into short concise explanations that anyone can understand. Simply amazing ♥️
just awesome content that I cannot get from any doctor here, thanks Dr Berg! very well explained !
Pretty difficult to get advice from doctors when the entire medical community doesn't even recognize the disorder. Thank You Jesus for Dr. Berg u
Well this explains everything! I've been experiencing all of this plus excess thick hair on my face, neck and chest. Along with lots of acne around the bottom of my face, neck and chest. Now to fix all this! I refuse to live with this.
so what's the news? i have the same problem
Don't let what people have to say get you down, what you think is all that matters.
I lost weight. My adrenal fatigue was in the 3rd stage and for a year now I have been trying to recover from a AF crash. Practically bedridden for two months. Panic attacks, anxiety, depression, insomnia, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, extremely thirsty and frequent urination. Lost 15 lbs in two weeks. I lost muscle and fat.
Insomnia and anxiety are still a major problem. Also post menopause.
My diet is great so I can’t figure out how to knock out those last two problems.
How are you now?
@@JW-qz4jl Thanks for asking. Well it’s been a long haul but I feel great except I have regained all the weight. I didn’t want that to happen. I’m a petite woman so an extra 15-20 lbs puts a strain on my frame. But as far as my anxiety it has improved at least 90%. I’m also sleeping better.
My mom has passed away and I believe dealing with here ailments and care taking was contributing to my stress.
late but hope you are doing well now. stay the course with diet (have you tried keto?) and exercise and you've got this!
I think in general weight gain = allergic reaction to the things consumed, an intermittent fasting helps metabolize the allergens faster otherwise one modern meals worth of allergens potentially hundreds even thousands of different allergens in one modern meal, some of which seem to take upto 6 months to metabolize, while the allergens cause weight gain among numerous other symptoms. A century ago folks ate a few dozen organic things sourced locally, thus it was much easier for them to identify what they were specifically allergic to an avoid consuming those triggers, today folks consume thousands of different food additives/processes regularly, an the body metabolizes them at different rates, an the plants/animals may or maynot contain other chemicals/medicines/herbicides/fungicides/pesticides/experimental gmos/etc which different folks maybe allergic to in different quantities as well, one crop/animal they eat from might not contain allergens, while another of the same type of crop/animal might contain allergens, thus with moderns societies world wide food chain composed of thousands of different variables sourced dynamically from around the world, with no accountability, how can folks not be allergic to some of the thousands of things they are consuming, which causes weight gain bloating sustained swelling overtime, caffeine is one of thousands of chemicals for example which contributes to anxiety which contributes to stress, stress which further compounds the issue. Intermittent fasting does seem to help me dramatically both by purging the allergens, an giving the digestive system a break a chance to rest an heal, once the body has purged the allergens after 4-6 months depending on how often I fast, I can then eat as much as I like of simple organic things that I am not allergic to without weight gain, but as soon as I try to eat the processed foods with their chemical soup of thousands of potential allergens bloating seems inevitable, but as you indicated intermittent fasting does seem to help make me more resistant. Thanks for helping me begin to understand these things an the great importance of fasting as well.
Your sense of humor is funny. This started for me around ten years ago with the change. I had my hormones tested & my stress hormone was off the chart. I started research in October ca s for ten years my doctors suggestions did not do any good. I finally found out about Keto in November & started Keto @ the end of December. Almost two months into the healthy keto lifestyle, I am starting to feel better. I have lost some weight, the inflammation has improved tremendously & the doggies is gone, but I am still tired. I find this way of eating easy & so much better! Thanks Dr. Berg! After ordering your book & watching your videos, I'm on my way!😁
Foggy not doggie
Just Excellent. The best, Doc. 🌷
Thank you for all these videos and all your hard work now and over the years. 💪
Keto and intermittent fasting completely crashed me, took years to recover.
wait what?! keto and IF DIDNT work for you?? what happened please explain
I'm having issues with it too. It doesn't work for me Don't know why.@@Emily-ud2dm
Me too. IF caused me stress, pushed my thyroid over the edge and ruined my metabolism. It's not the answer for everyone.
😰😰
Same here.
Celia Castellanos this is my second attempt at strict Keto. I'm still trying to get my head around all the info, but thanks for your feedback, every bit help. Thank you !
OMG that's exactly me. I have had the last three years living in a hellish dream and I've gained weight with so much stress even though I was eating decent food but barely eating. 😢
Exacto esto es lo que yo vivi y lo que veo en muchas de mis clientas, que no consiguen bajar de peso. Gracias Dr. Berg
Excellent advice and information ☝🏻
Thank you, Dr Berg.
Million dollars video..
Highly appreciated
Thankyou

This makes so much sense, thank you, Dr. Berg.
Dr Berg, firstly thank you so much for all your videos. I’m following keto lifestyle and IF for 2 months now. I’ve had a very stressful life with close family deaths, illnesses and family/everyday issues, let’s face it, who hasn’t. I’m now 53 and premenopausal. I’ve lost over a stone and adapting well to keto. My only serious issue atm is that for the past 6 years I’ve suffered from hot and cold flushes (flashes). I get them all day (which I try to manage) and every 1-2 hrs during the night so sleep is impossible. I’ve been on HRTs for 1 1/2 years, gained weight and was extremely anxious. Tried all the supplement, none work. If I could fix this then I would get quality sleep and be able to mend my adrenal gland and other health issues. Please can you help me and all the women who suffer with this serious problem. Otherwise i can’t see how I can get passed this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is a complicated topic for me. I have to watch this video again. I suspect that I have high Cortisol because my circadian rhythm has abandoned me a loong time ago. I have the symptoms, but how do I heal if I can’t sleep, “other than that I’m OK.”
My stress is my job...not the place or people I work at or with...but the actual work condition... I'm a chef in an outside open air cafe, in an open air cafe at an animal sanctuary and botanical garden, in the S Florida humidity and heat. No AC and it can reach 125+ degrees when the equipment is cranking. Then add to that the heat index...It's hard on my actual body...I go home and my insides feel hot, my brain feels hot..I'm literally soaking wet, my feet and legs so sore and I'm exhausted. Which stresses me out because on my days off, the thought of going outside makes me cringe...so I stress..sounds silly when others are dealing with more serious things...
I have seen this video several times and i am enjoying. It's so interesting. Wonderful explanation! Thanks for sharing your knowledge doc. ♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍
Doc, this is a 1 million dollar 💵 video! 👍👏👌🙏
Dr Berg, what would be a good replacement for Sauerkraut? I once got sick after eating it - it was an extremely warm December in South Africa and I think it fermented a bit too much. Since then I cannot stomach it.

Love these nuggets of information.
I do not usually speak of specific products but tried Dr Berg's 2 adrenal products (day and night) for the past week. Too soon to tell if it will help weight but my general well being is better: calmer, clearer mind, better able to deal stress. Also gave it to a family member who has been taking both for about 1 month (very high stress job)-I can tell a difference in her reactions, helped them eat better.
I took his original formula and it was helpful, then my body adapted. My body always adapts and overcomes whatever works. I get no more than 6 wks of relief no matter what I use.
It is the suckiest thing on earth 😢
Dr. Berg, I was diagnosed with Cushing's in 1987. I have had three surgeries, pituitary removed, radiation to the pituitary region and have been on hydrocortisone for over 30 years. I was put on HRT then removed from it in my 30s. I have great difficulty processing fats/protein. I have tried KETO and have been unsuccessful. I take your gallbladder formula, your electrolight formula and nothing seems to work. I was 18 when I was diagnosed. I am 55 now, and endocrinologists are not helping. What should I do?
Try getting a second opinion from a different doctor
Did you get any help ?
@@kelsi87eylse no. Tried a diff doc, all types of suppliments and recommendations.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm under so much stress and needed this!
Thanks Dr Berg ,
Please we need video about smoking effect on keto and IR ,
And what is best way to quit smoking
I went to vaping to quit smoking, it was the easiest way that I tried. All the lung infections were/are from CDB oils, (oils should give that away, as oils don’t belong in the lungs). Check it out. I smoked for over twenty years, did pills, patch, and cold turkey. Then went to vape, only a year then off. Up to you really. Just a suggestion, have a great day.
I have both symptoms of hypo and hyper cortisol isn. My blood pressure is low, low thyroid, major fatigue, major rapid weight gain (gain weight when I exercise)
Im losing weight and im feeling extremely fatigued im a type 2 diabetic and just found out about 6 months ago ive been really stressed and anxious about work and my health and now i cant sleep at night im having body aches brain fog no appetite really except for sugar and salt

Please doc Berg explain is there side effects of copper iud especially bloating and weightgain,acne, if yes how can we cure it
Hey! I got a belly and a flat cracker bum! My arms and legs are normal, but dang, the face, neck and torso are fat. I can't wear necklaces because of my tree trunk neck. Dr just ordered test for Cushings. I have had this problem since I was a young adult and I'm 53.
Have you figured out ?? How are you going now please share something 😊😊
Thanks Dr. Berg fir this information! I can now begin to do something about this! I have gone to doctors and all they would say is push back from table walk. I did all but nothing really helped! Thanks I now feel I can finally see results that can stick!
Would a longer fast (36-72 hour) fast help adrenal fatigue, or will it make it worse?
You're my FAVORITE!! Thanks for all the info.
dr Berg would you please address the hype around Dr.gundry and his take on lectins
Hello Dr. Berg, I want to say thank for all that you do in informing us subscriber's on your YT channel, It is all very valuable information and I truly appreciate your knowledge and all that you have done. Can you kindly do a video on Women that have had the DaVinici robotic Hysterectomy after a 2 year period, and the weight gain and other issues that are associated with it? There are so many women such as myself that have this issue. In addition, to other problems associated after having this procedure such as pain, cramping etc. after 2 years of having it done. I understand that it takes about a year to really get better sometimes that is not always the case for some.
Dr Berg you help me so much. I LOVE your videos. You are my ‘go to’ person for dietary advice in relation to health.
Why do GP’s NEVER (in my experience) talk about foods?
Nobody talks about menopause; yesterday it took me 20 minutes to understand it fully after watching a couple of your videos.
Big fan in the UK!
Love it when you get out Netter's
Pleas do a video on: Adrenal fatigue with low DHEA and very thin body/ unable to gain.
Also Chemical sensitivity
Thank you Dr. Berg Great Video as ALWAYS🌟 I wish I could sleep longer, but the clock in my body only let's me sleep 4 to 5 hours. Ugh God Bless You and Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙇♀️✝️🙏

Thankyou so much for this information Dr Berg I really needed do here this❤
Dr. Berg, you're my hero.
For me, adrenal fatigue cause weight loss, I am very slim, no way to take weight. Thanks for the video, very interesting.
As usually amazed us with your information Dr.Berg 👍👍🌹💙
Yeah and I am shocked that most doctors out there dont know this or just dont care. When Dr Berg breaks it down so simply and easy one has to wonder why the doctors out there dont understand it and dont test and treat us for it.
I told my doctor back in 2014 to help me with this issue and he just pushed antidepressants at me. smh
@@86BarbOmega mine got arrogant and said that wasn't the issue. How someone so intelligent can be so dumb, I'll never know
Dr. thank you again.
Thank you Dr Berg 🙏 I have Cushing's synfrome and I am overweight. Would you recommend OMAD along with keto for this?
Hello dr ... How to fix adrenal fatigue if you under cortisol treatment pills? And how to control the side effect of cortisol pills?
Great information as always!
@Cognoscenti Cycles
Hey, thanks =)
😔 I can relate to several of the mentioned symptoms: fatigue, buffalo hump thin skin, decreased libido (painful). I started keto on June 2019 and have lost 32lbs .. am currently at 143lb for the past 5 months have not been able to lose anymore weight even if I do IF and one meal a day.
But not so tired anymore and the libido better now? Perhaps ur weight s ok now no need to get more of
Celia Castellanos what did you do to loose the weight ? I have the same issues.
Was it low carbs Keto ? Gluten free, lactose free ?
@@oemadam yeah that's what my sister tells me. 🤷🏻♀️
@@isabellepiat912 I started doing only keto strictly
Geez...these symptoms match my daughter's exactly...she has been this way for ages. High stress teaching job, early cancer bout...we will look into this.
Anu update??
@@naturelovers6987She's recently moved and found a happier job but it's more sedentary so the weight is still an issue. That is up to her to lose the pounds. She can do it. she has before. Thank you for asking!
Dr berg, I need a video on low cortisol!. And how do I increase my cortisol levels. Also ACTH is high! But still doctors don't confirm it as Addison's. Then what do I have?.
What his video o lower cortisone but do the contrary so it will increase your levels.
Do prolonged fasting and reduce carbs to a min. This should increase cortisol. Add coffee to it as well.
Does ashwaganda stop working after taking it for a while ? After watching your videos I started using it and it worked so well. Now I’m back to being easily irritated and other things ? I do keto and if and take your supplements
Dr. Berg will you share with us the I.U. Needed for the remaining vitamins listed on the white board. thanks
@Dr. Eric Berg DC
Hi, can you please tell me if it’s possible to have adrenal fatigue and still be very slim, even skinny as an ill person? My partner has a very stressful job, with irregular working hours, even nights. He has very thin skin and is super skinny (194 cm and 73kg ~160 lbs.) and can’t gain weight or muscle with any diet or exercise. Also he falls asleep after meal, sometimes even during it. He craves carbs like muesli, bread, chocolate, etc. We tried keto and low carb diet to balance insulin but nothing changes. He looks like he is in a permanent catabolic state. I don’t know where to look for the answers, is adrenal fatigue an answer for his awful condition? What blood tests should we do?
We live in Europe and doctors don’t treat patients holistically. Because of your channel I discovered my insulin and thyroid problems, started keto and intermittent fasting and lost 15lbs which was impossible before. Thank you so much for all your work!
Sir, with intermittent fasting I feel a little headache even I keep myself hydrated.
Do make a video on how to tackle fall out of intermittent fasting.
I would love if you make a video on your thoughts on earthing/grounding
Just found out today my cortisol level is over 120. That’s as high as the chart goes. High is considered 30 😔 don’t know if tumor is in pituitary or adrenals. Doctor told me to have some carbs at night to lower cortisol 🧐 I just know that if I eat carbs now I get anxiety
Please do video about high cortisol hormones not diet related
It absolutely will
You are killing the kale
Is high cortisol. Good for Addison's disease? If so, What supplements can I take to keep it lowered?
great vid, helpful
i have alot of those symptoms but my endocrinologist told me all test she ran determined i was within normal range
Dr Berg would you recommend a 10 week Testosteron Cycle
Thank you very much doctor, now I know why I have vitamin D deficiency.
I got “ slammed “ bedridden for about 5-6 weeks. I could not stand up straight or think or talk or eat ( drank bottles of water) and had total diarrhea and was unable to go to a doctor. It started out with ice cold chills that every hair on my body stood on end, then I broke out with ( waterfall) sweat and this was cyclical every 30 minutes ( for 4-5) weeks. It felt like my adrenaline spiked rapid heartbeat and hyper focused, then broke out in sweat and repeatedly every 30 minutes. Honestly could not stand straight. When I was able to go to a doctor, blood tests were done and when completed showed very high cortisol levels. NOTHING WAS DONE. NO FOLLOW-UP! I was told to “ take it easy and drink fluids. The year before this happened ( because of behavioral changes) my hormones were tested and my testosterone levels went from 0-748. I’m a woman 56 at that time. I researched and had 6 out of 7 indicators for an Adrenal tumor. Again NOTHING WAS DONE
🎵 “We-e are Netter, Netter, Netter... getting back together!” 🎶 😂
Dr. Frank Netter is an amazing medical textbook author/illustrator indeed, Dr. Berg.
Will your adrenal supplement help if I have this? I have most of the symptoms except for high blood pressure.
Hi Dr. Berg, so ask my Physician about taking a blood test for the Adrenal glands he said NO....
But I do got Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus....
I do also have Hashimoto's...
Thx Dr. Berg & 🙂❤day 2 u & the Mrs...enjoy
I’m so tired because I have a Buffalo hump, suuuper high level ACTH, no adrenal mass, not sure if I have a growth in pituitary. But I’m tired all the time. Without the moon face or purple stretch marks. Facial hair and excess hair in places I don’t want. Extremely high testosterone. But the doctors just told me it’s PCOS. I don’t have issues with my time of the month. What do I do? 😭
Ok I definitely have all those signs and have sleep apnea. How ever my back side and thighs are carrying weight. So could I have 2 body types?
Do you know Louise Gittleman's book Radical Metabolism? Your work bolts up to what she says in that book, but her diet recommendations are quite different and I did not lose the weight the way I am with your keto/if suggestions.
Right, shes not IR. She doesnt understand IR. Shes able to do what she does and have it be successful. Its successful for those like her also.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah makes me wonder who those people are.
J HARDY there ARE ppl who dont have moderate to severe messed up systems. Not many anymore, but there are lol
@@YeshuaKingMessiah it's hard to imagine that there's someone who exists with a weight problem, or a sluggish metabolism, where IR isn't the culprit these days
Thank you Dr berg.!! Great ,great info.❣. Ooh my fatiguenes I feel most of the time....will increase my vitamin D and c I think.
