    Chronic stress can affect every system in the body. Let's talk about how to lower cortisol and relieve stress.
    We've been told that our environment is dangerous, which causes a lot of stress and anxiety. But, while our environment may be dangerous, it's not as dangerous as many are led to believe-and it's not healthy to keep your attention on this negativity.
    It's vital to change your viewpoint on your environment and see it in a positive light, as well as filter out some of the negativity you're exposed to.
    Chronic stress can potentially lead to various health issues, including:
    • A weak microbiome and more pathogenic bacteria
    • A poor immune system
    • Inflammation
    • Fertility problems
    • High insulin levels
    • High triglycerides and LDL and low HDL
    • Poor detoxification
    • Slow digestion
    • Poor absorption of vitamins and minerals (including vitamin D)
    • Tightened fascia
    • Cognitive problems
    • The activation of bad genes and suppression of good genes
    Two of the best ways to deal with stress and cortisol:
    1. Change the viewpoint of your environment and filter out various threats of danger
    • Get space in nature
    • Connect with your environment
    2. Physically flush out accumulated adrenaline and cortisol
    • Exercise
    • Do physical work

It has taken me a year-and-a-half to get back to 80%. I lost weight my digestion was terrible no sleep, night terrors. I have learned a lot and have great advice on how to get past traumatic grief.

Medical drugs destroyed me and many other things. Hence now I'm figuring things own my own and i wonder how people are doing it. I'm sure they can and i know stories that people were able to get control of these things. So yes i can too. Please help with your experience. Thank you much love and peace \m/

      PTSD-C over here, and it feels nearly impossible to avoid stress and I've not managed to get a handle on my stress response. Even if I hide out at home, crazy stress inducing circumstances seem to always find me. Last weekend, neighbor downstairs locked their dog in a bathroom for days and it literally barked, cried, whined for 24 hours straight. Two days ago, AC went out, and was 83 inside my place for 24 hours. A couple months ago, I came home at 3am to find a strangers dog inside my home, with a closed front gate and closed door, so a stranger opened my door to let this dog into my home (I was of course majorly frightened thinking there may also be a stranger in my home as well to go along with the dog). A few months ago, a crazy neighbor lit her 30 foot high tree on fire just 25 feet from my door, and was yelling like a crazy person for 2 hours outside prior to lighting the tree on fire, and I had to call 911. I don't even live in "bad" neighborhoods, just nothing fancy. But I literally can't avoid weird super stressful things even when I hide out at home. So exhausting, and I have no clue how to avoid constant stress mode. 🤦🏼‍♀️

    You nailed it again Dr. Berg. My wife and I were having difficulty getting to sleep and staying asleep. I suggested to her that we turn off all of our electronics 2 maybe 3 hours before bedtime. Now both of us get to sleep faster and stay asleep until our dogs start crying to go outside in the morning. We can't fix the world. And on that note, I don't think the world is as broken as they say.

I plan on being in the Philippines this next hurricane season.. I will be living in a house on the ocean with Crystal clear Blue Waters and white sand beach as my front yard and rainforest mountains as my backyard. I can walk 15 yards to the crystal clear lagoon in my front yard and spear some fish for lunch and my Filipino companion / fiance/future wife will clean them and cook them.. now that is what I call de-stressing.

They often don't understand how the Bowen Therapy can have such a profound effect on the body. So good to have found you and your videos as it it great to help my patients understand. I will certainly refer your videos to some to my patients. Also if the body doesn't respond is often a gut issue.

This has disabled me in so many ways: feeling alien, not good enough no matter how much I do or how hard I try, overworking myself in work and in relationships, being too nice, giving too much , putting up with abuse... My health has massively suffered because of this and I am sure the perimenopause symptoms I have are also due to this. Even though I exercise and eat a lot of healthy foods, my cortisol levels are off the charts and the slightest 'threat' stresses me out.

    Avoid media but be informed about what's going on around. Avoid social media if it starts affecting you. Thanks Dr. Berg for your efforts in educating.

      @@druannpellegrini5661 I think that often less is more. Being bombarded by the same news or 160 character Twitter posts never actually made me feel more informed.

    I really needed to hear this 20 years ago; I'm now trying to heal from all the damage of massive chronic stress over many years. I heard that stress can have negative affect on the body but no one at that time could explain how. :(

      Do you have memory or cognitive decline form the stress?
      I am wondering if my inability to feel, think, or remember is related to years of chronic stress.
