Let’s talk about how to reduce stress using ashwagandha.
Ashwagandha is an herb that has been around for a very long time and has minimal side effects.
Potential benefits of ashwagandha:
• It’s an incredible adaptogen (it helps you cope with stress and depression)
• It may help increase exercise performance
• It may help decrease cortisol
• It may help reduce fibroids
• It has anti-inflammatory properties
• It may help improve the immune system
• It supports cognitive function
• It may help lower blood sugar levels
It seems like natural alternatives are always attacked. Recently, there has been some fear around ashwagandha because, like other natural remedies, it’s not FDA-approved.
The committees that approve drugs have a lot of conflicts of interest. Many medications that are FDA-approved have a massive number of side effects, but people take them without hesitation.
You may find it beneficial to try ashwagandha and come off of it for a while to see how you feel. Ashwagandha is powerful for stress, but you may not need it after you change your lifestyle and get rid of stress. Natural remedies are great tools but aren’t meant to be taken for the rest of your life.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the benefits and side effects of ashwagandha. I’ll see you in the next video.
Good morning Dr Berg, After I lost my wife last year, I kind of lost purpose in life, while searching for the answers I found you and listening to you I started taking Ashwagandha, Vitamin D,B1 some of your other Supplements and got on healthy Keto walking in nature, that emptyness may never end but you taught me how to live a healthy life and manage stress. Thank You Sir, may God Bless You.
I’m sorry for your loss 😢
@@tacooflove6175 Thanks.
I am so sorry for your loss and what you have been going through . I know the feeling you are speaking of. It is the worst. You are doing the best you can to help yourself by being mindful of your health , mentally and physically . I will pray for you to have peace and less uneasy feeling .
Did your stress go away with ashwagandh
@@vanitagomes3794 Yes it did.
If it’s not FDA approved then it must be beneficial

It's a traditional herb here in India mainly to boost testosterone and to cope up with stress and to have better sleep
what about Tongkat Ali? Is that popular in India too?
Thank you
Yes
@@lilianflynn1876yes, it's a traditional herb
aren't there a lot of recent news about ashwaganda actually cutting testosterone and chemically castrating men that take it?
The fact that Dr Berg said it’s not meant to be taken for the rest of your life ... stop taking it, see how you feel, maybe your lifestyle has changed and you’ve reduced some stress in your life ...
This makes absolute sense!
Thank you!
Most welcome! Glad you found the video helpful!
I take SSRI ( DESVENLAFLAXINE) not recommended to take. Unless, the info I read is incorrect. Can you tell me if I can take Ashwaganda while on SSRI ( DESVENLAFAXINE)
Agree! Take it when you need it, then stop. The next time needed, the results will be effective once again.
I do not trust FDA. So if they don’t approve, it wouldn’t bother me.
I’m 33 years old, as growing up my mom said she never trusted doctors or believe them. As I got to my late 20’s I realized she wasn’t just crazy/ old mentality of thinking. Thank you for being brave enough to risk backlash for educating the masses.
Doctors are trustworthy and they have an immense knowledge.
The issue is that healthcare is a generalisation and more focused on symptoms than causes.
Unless you are rich and can afford a personal doctor or are lucky enough to get one of the few that goes above and beyond than they simply don't have the time or resources to delve deep into your history to work out the root cause which could take many hours and many tests.
For the most part they operate by a system where they may take some visual/physical cues, input the symptoms you have and the system computes the most common medication to treat those symptoms.
It works for most people and will often cure the underlying cause but some things are simply to complex and varied for that system to be adequate.
Some things like indigestion or chronic diarrhoea for example can be multifaceted and different between individuals with the exact same symptoms.
To narrow down the exact cause might take 10 hours of one on one appointments and a dozen tests - it's simply outside the practicality of most doctors to dedicate that much time to a single patient.
However I do wish they were more willing to allow patients to self diagnose and listen to what they think might be the issue and medicate accordingly.
It's very rare to find a doctor that is willing to ignore the system and genuinely consider the patients thoughts as an individual.
@@retsaMinnavoiG Doctors don't know crap about vitamins or nutrition.
@@retsaMinnavoiG Thanks Dr Dipshit
Right I am tired of doctors they have their purpose but I've been prescribed three different medications for high blood pressure. Doctors just keep giving me medication to lower the blood pressure which makes me want to lay on the couch all day what kind of life is that ? I have developed arterial sclerosis in the arteries leading to my kidneys, and after much desperation I found out about K2 D3 and magnesium and the ability to restore plasticity to my arteries no doctor wants to hear anything about anything they didn't learn in college which is pretty much everything. Physicians are too busy keeping everyone coming in who are healthy every 2 months to make sure they don't develop something instead of treating those who need help. So they're Band-Aids are pills chemicals, which are foreign to the body but make big Pharma so happy. This is what you get from the Healthcare System. Just my humble opinion
@@retsaMinnavoiGthe misconception is that these pharmaceutical drugs cure simply because they reduce symptoms & the patient may feel better temporarily but they do not! Aside from an antibiotic to cure an infection but for the most part these drugs do not cure.
Thank God at 63 next month, I’ve never had any maintenance drugs but my 5 siblings have. Happy to say I do IF (omad) & keto & take some supplements since I first learned about Dr. Berg. He’s incredibly helpful! 😊
Dr. Eric Berg, thank you for caring enough to produce ample video's on teaching folks how to care for self. This "Dramatically Reduce Cortisol Stress: Ashwagandha," video is an example. You've changed many lives.
Thanks doc! I appreciate you explaining this in a simple, straightforward manner. Keep up the good work! 😊
I am a caregiver for my brother who is mentally challenged with psychosis - talk about stress - since I have been taking ashwagandha I am much more relaxed and able to deal with the stress of taking care of him. It really works!.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! FINALLY a doctor who cares enough to be truthful and say the quiet part out loud! The past 3 years have made me question many things with regards to "big pharma" and the medications being pushed onto society. I've been following your videos for the past few years because I can tell you know...NTM everything you share is very detailed and absolutely great advice!
Love the videos. As a pharmacist I’ve actually referred a few patients to your videos that have mentioned wanting to try natural alternatives (prefaced with check with your doctor). It’s crappy dispensing this junk to people every day but if I can help a few people find health with less medication it’ll be worth it.
With all your great knowledge and hard work that goes into doing what you know and to help people that really want the help is much respected and appreciated by me and others! Thank you Dr. Berg!!!
I appreciate your support!
@@Drberg Could you please make a video about Phosphatidylserine, for stress?
Great advice as always. Very informative, explicit, and explanatory.
Thank you for doing this video.
I have been caring for my mother, who has Alzheimers for 10 months, 24 hours a day without a day off, and I can tell that my cortisol levels are EXTREMELY out of wack. I've never had an issue with my weight or weight in my tummy, but I do right now.

I do take different B vitamins, because my family usually runs low in it, especially B12.
I will look into B1 specifically, though. Thank you
What kind do you take?
@@Tinyteacher1111 I take Bi Benfotiamine
Edit* I'm speaking to ashwaganda in response to the OP
You won't have any regrets! If you take 300mg like right now and another 300 before sleep- just make sure you have room for 7 or 8 hours of rest, your body likely needs it- you will notice a difference within a day. I just started less than a week ago and needed it more than I knew. I could cry from gratitude. Blessings to you and your family ❤

Ashwagandha + magnesium glycinate helped me a lot with anxiety.
I have read some that people that take magnesium glycanate talk about how when they miss a dose. They have severe anxiety and depression episodes. Has this been the case for you?
I was having trouble sleeping at night during 48h fast and now, thanks to ashwagandha this problem is solved. I started doing this fast on a weekly basis.😀
What brand did you take?
@@jocelynvasquez4260 I bought on eBay, from India. If it's OK, I can send you the link.

The absolute BEST thing I’ve ever used.
When my grandmom was about 68. I told her that studies provided "evidence" that daily aspirin would reduce her risk of stroke. She was in fairly good health. She spoke to her doctor who put her on a daily regimen, which she adhered to for 16 yrs. At the age of 84, she was told her kidneys were badly damaged (by the use of the aspirin) and was taken off the aspirin. A few months later, I got wind of a study that said long term use of aspirin was no longer recommended.
It is to my eternal regret that I didn't leave her to manage her health with her traditional /natural remedies, now that I realise how many "studies" are funded by corporations that skew data to fit their narrative.
There is a reason that certain herbal remedies last beyond the few months or couple of years of a fad and have transcended generations for hundreds of years.
Forgive yourself
@@neelafung8787 thanks for your kind words.
FYI aspirin is just the concentrated form of a natural occurring herbal substance that was used in traditional medicine for thousands of years.
It absolutely does have benefits though and it potentially prolonged her life as well despite it eventually causing kidney damage which may have occurred anyway.
Although it seems it's regular use might be less positive in women and more positive in men.
It's the doctors that caused the problem, NOT you! We have been conditioned to rely too much on man! Not what God gave us... your grandma did live a good long life tho, because she took care of herself before that switch..

Yesterday I took Ashwagandha before going to my dentist for a root canal. It did it’s job and is my go-to when I need unnerving. Thank you Dr Berg for the reinforcement.
What brand did you take?
How did you take it?
It takes 4 to 6 weeks to see any effects bud
Good to know I had 5 hypnosis treatments before even a dentist consultation! I’m saddened you for a root canal, worse thing ever ,,, I’m having mine removed
@@Suzanna-wh3nrI had my root canals removed because they assessed when I was extremely sick and have Sjogren’s.
Been taking it for over a month, due to the pain of losing my mom and brother in a four month gap. I also take Gingko Biloba every night. Getting a puppy has also helped. My Cookie raises my oxitocin levels and forces me to walk and run! at least twice a day. Sadness is still there, however depression is slowly but steadily leaving the picture. No side effects of ashawanda. Only the first week I felt a bit low. After 2 weeks I was feeling much mentally stronger. It really works.
Thanks a lot dr.Birg 🙏🙏😊
Thank you Dr. Berg! I've learned a lot with you!
Glad to help!
Thank God someone educated and shared this with me!! Ashwaganda works! And its not too expensive at all. Only like 20 bucks and worth every cent! For years, dealt with ever changing work and home situation and schedules, irregular diet, little to no exercise, barely sleeping, living off coffee- and infertility. Chronic stress is insidious. Since taking this I've been able to sleep through the night, no more anxiety that causes me to cry unnecessarily, and able to cultivate some self discipline.. not the kind that comes from running yourself ragged but the fulfilling kind. Getting marriage together and hoping to be blessed with children❤ If you are struggling, this can really be so supportive.

Wonderful!
I started taking ashwagandha because I found that my blood sugar remains high whatever I do. Then I realised that this is because I feel stressed all the time. I started Ashwagandha 150 mg twice a day and my blood glucose is near normal. After two weeks I have taken a day off all supplements except B Complex today. From tomorrow I will reduce Ashwagandha dose to 150 mg at night.
It has definitely made me much calmer.
I appreciate you uploading this educative video. I’m been taking Ashwandha for about three weeks now. As a person with GA due to ADHD (without hyperactivity), ASD (most likely “Asperger”), and a single mother and woman of color in almost mid 40s who exercises moderately to mitigate fibromyalgia, I take this high dosage in the AM. I started to take it 3 weeks ago. So far it’s working great with stress. Thank you for reading my long story 😅 ❤❤

I've been taking it for 4 months and I've received all of the benefits you mentioned. I've had chronic stress especially after kicking some anti depressants.

I couldn't agree more with everything said, and what the FDA approves i wouldn't trust. I bought some Ashwagandha a few months ago. I reacted badly to Anaesthetic years ago, developed physcial and mental health issues, literally damaged my body, still is and years later still finding a way to recover as the results has left me with ME/CFS but only discovered a couple of years ago what caused it. and i discovered it because of what happened over the last 3 years and certain interventions i stayed away from but saw the affects to others. It finally clicked. Ashwagandha is helping my low mood and blood sugar levels.
Thank you for your honesty ❤❤❤!
Anytime!
These older videos are so awesome Dr. Berg, because you could speak more freely and clearly!
Ashwagandha and Fenugreek for the win!!
I've been adding ashwagandha to my morning smoothies for maybe a year now. But also been exercising more, my stress levels seem to have dropped. One a side note, I recently started interment fasting, overnight, and doing my first workout of the day in the mornings before breakfast. I feel better during the day and have to force myself to eat before the next daily fasting begins. I'm almost 64 and about 100 lbs overweight.
That's a great start!

Thanks Dr. BERG. what would the dose be for estrogen driven cancer?
Thank you, Dr Berg!
No problem. Hope you learned something new here.
Would have liked to see you talk about seratonine syndrome in relation to Ashwaganda. There are ALOT of stories popping up about this lately. One should be especially careful using alongside any SSRI and/or using alongside Methylene Blue which you've also talked about the benefits of. Seems you've glossed over some contraindications here.

Good Morning Dr Berg,
I am having hypothyroidism for last 20 years. I am using Synthroid 37.5 mcg as prescribed by doctor. Does Ashwagandha has any side affects with Synthriod. Can I take Ashwagandha small amount? Please guide me. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have been taking Ashwahganda for over three months or so daily and I feel as if it helps me alot
Same I’m on week 3. Plan to take it for another 3 weeks then come off 3 weeks and then take it again during exams. It’s true what he says. They also help in stabilizing testosterone and reducing blood sugars. I would take mine first thing in the morning at 6am and was beginning to worry because they’d be at 140 which is elevated. Normal should be in the 90s or up to 125 max. Mine reduced to the 80s and 90s within 2 weeks.
thanks a lot for this video Dr Berg 🙋🏻♀️👍

What time of day did you take ashwagandha if you don't mind me asking? :)
@@AnneAlready I took it after ive had my dinner.
BUT hear me out. It depends on a few factors. Ashwagandha has both relaxing and stimulating properties so basically you have to try it out how it works for you. You don't want to disrupt your sleeping cycle too right. But I've felt it to get me to the relaxing mode so i consume it at night. One of the main property that ashwagandha does, is to reduce cortisol, and if thats the case we could consider taking it in the morning as cortisol is high after the waking up.
Next main thing to consider is what form of ashwagandha you're using. If its root powder (be it in tablet/capsule or just the powder itself) then you must consume it with some fat source like dairy, nuts, eggs etc....as most of the active compounds of ashwagandha are fat soluble. Best thing to do is to take it with a meal and forget it. Or you could consume it with milk(you can add some sugar or honey too)
Now if the form you are taking is an extract like ksm 66 (which i would prefer more) it doesn't matter you can just consume it at your convenience...but i would still take it with a meal.
I took it for 2 to 3 months, took a break for 1 or one and a half months.
I've used both root powder and the switched to Unived ksm 66 ashwagandha. I don't if its available at your place. Just get one from a reputable brand.
@@AnneAlready I took it after I've had my dinner. It kinda helps me relax.
Just make sure you consume it along with a fat source. It has both relaxing and stimulating properties so either you can take it in the morning too to reduce cortisol. Try how it works for you. I've tried the powder first and switched to Unived ksm 66 ashwagandha extract. I don't know if its available at your place. Just get one from any reputable brand.
I've also have to mention i take vit d3 1000iu in morning with breakfast and magnesium glycinate 650 or 1300mg after my dinner and still continue taking these two. I've stopped taking ashwagandha for now.
@@thetimewhack Thanks so much for that detail. I'll make sure to have some fat at the same time....haha just ran and got some.
I bought a different brand, Allmax KSM 66 extract. Good tip with taking magnesium in the evening too. My problem is non restorative sleep and 3am waking so yes I need to experiment a bit.
Thanks again for sharing your experience.
It took me roughly 20 days to see the effects of Ashwaghanda. It felt like I could finally take a deep breath and lower my feeling of stress. It’s as if it works on the fight or flight mechanism.
Make sure to keep taking it. I was stuck in fight or flight for a couple of weeks, going to bed stressed, and waking up even worse. Ashwaghanda helped tremendously, made me feel normal again
@@AdamN-uq9fyDoes it hace some negative side effects?
@@petyabor5223 yes your peepee shrinks to a tiny size
Hi, what dosage did you take? I'm like this at the moment and Dr keeps wanting to put me on antidepressants and refer for cbt :(
At 85kg body weight, I took one heaping teaspoon daily. The package recommended a level teaspoon. Nothing was happening with that dosage. So I upped it and I started to feel the effects.
It has helped me tremendously
I highly recommend it
That's great. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you for your work👍👍
You're very welcome!
I took it for stress and my sleep really improved. But a big downside ( the only downside for me) was low mood. It really made me feel flat in the day and I was taking it just at night. I had to stop after a week. Once I did, my sleep took a while to regulate but I definitely didn't feel depressed. I think we all have different responses to things and for me, Ashwaganda was a success for sleep and reducing stress but bad for feeling really quite depressed aswell.
Same exact thing for me
I drink it as a tea every two to 3 days and it really helped!
I take it with cocaine

How much should people take to anxiety, stress and sleep?
I know you did some videos on walks, do one on mindfulness meditation for cortisol levels :3
Time to start growing my own!
Boy I needed this! Back on my ashwaganda..
