I know me too. This has completely made things so much clearer to me. The years of thyroid issues vitamin D deficiency. My sleep schedule. So many things.
I have just come out of 18 months of stress, fear and worry, shame and guilt. A dark night of the soul, but, I am lucky I had tools to survive. I was in a bad way though, eating crap (high carb and sugar) I didn't give a fig for my own health and fasting went bye bye. I am thankful I had a diabetic crisis, hospital with outdated medical procedures for diabetes (dextrose and insulin) I was teetering with potassium and magnesium deficiency and circling the drain after my whole system went down... 4 months later... I am almost normal 1980 normal, I am eating right, walking, fasting, mindful, and about to learn how to heal my darling little adrenal glands. I love life, I am thankful and appreciate you Doctor Berg
Of course I'm watching this at 2am.. I have all those symptoms except high blood pressure. Gastrointestinal issues that can't be explained. Breathing problems. Over weight. Can't deal with stress. Takes everything seriously. Poor diet. Aggravated easily. Wow thank you Dr for making this video
@hotgrin3478 wow u really prove the OP's point!! U have NO IDEA what ur talking abt. Adrenal fatigue isn't abt overeating, it's abt hormonal imbalance. Why don't u watch the video before u comment
So grateful to you, Dr. Berg for not asking for money, or leading to an ad to get to the answers. You had it all in one spot without asking for a thing. Thank you!
I ran on continuous adrenaline 20-24 hours a day from age 19 on, and had zero to 5 hours sleep a night , had abnormally stressful home life and a stressful job. I was burned out by 35. Now I’m 50 & still trying to fix my self. I wish I knew all this when I was younger, especially when I was trying to raise my kids in that constant state.
you know, as a phlegmatic person I always thought I never got stressed out, but my body type is clearly adrenal!! Now I understand that I internalized my stress. Thanks for all your teaching, Dr Berg!!
I was the classic Cushing’s syndrome body type. Through a proper human diet I removed the roughly ninety extra pounds I was carrying. After they found my muscle invasive bladder cancer they found the tumor on my adrenal. A suppression test showed it was putting out extra cortisol. Removal corrected my metabolism with a tremendous improvement in health. Not only physically but also mentally.
@@loiscashner6567 They give you a 1mg steroid pill to tell your adrenals to turn off. If your own cortisol is still being produced it will be over 1.88mcg/dl. They call it a suppression test.
I would love to chat more with you! I found out i have a benign tumor on one of mine also which has been causing my high blood pressure! Was surgery the only option they gave you?
@@chocolatesunflower2386 They treated my high blood pressure with inderal and an ace inhibitor in my early 30’s. I’m 67 now. Once I went ketogenic a few years ago I got off the meds. The clue for me was my high fasting blood sugar. I fought tooth and nail that I wasn’t insulin resistant. I got those useless diabetes talks. I kept telling them I ate less that 20 carbs a day. I guess they thought I was lying? Anyway an Adrenal Center in Tampa consult with a world class surgeon had me on the table on Valentines Day for removal. I believe it was messing with my metabolism. Hence my feelings were often jumbled. It’s taken some time but I sense a new feeling of self.
This Doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely 😊😊👍👍
Tell us something we DON'T know. He's smarter than ANY medical doctor I know now. He hasn't been bought out like the rest of the "deep state physicians".
I know I have this condition!! I been a correctional officer for 10 years and been in horrible stressful situation, have had life stressors and have a disabled adult child I care for. Thank you so much for this video. Very informative I don’t take any medication but am in my fifties. Definitely gonna learn to manage myself use these suggestions. Thank you Dr. Berg. I have hope.
10:08 This is not an exaggerated drawing - many of us post-menopausal women are very familiar with this body type and look almost exactly like this. It seems to happen to many of us that our bodies change to this type and shape.
0:33: ⚕ The adrenal body type and adrenal fatigue are discussed, with a focus on natural remedies. 3:53: 📝 Stress and adrenal dysfunction can lead to various physical and mental health issues, including anxiety, excessive thinking, blood sugar problems, inflammation, and immune system suppression. 8:04: ⚕ The video discusses the effects of adrenal fatigue on the body and the importance of regulating breathing and sleep. 12:45: 📝 Testing the function of the adrenals can be done using the Raglins test, which involves checking blood pressure while lying down and standing up. 15:15: ⏰ The adrenal system plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and blood flow to the brain, and adrenal dysfunction can lead to symptoms such as dizziness and weakness. 19:01: 🌿 Vitamin C, potassium, sodium, and vitamin B1 are important nutrients for adrenal health. 22:50: 🌿 To fix the adrenal body type, follow these steps: Recap by Tammy AI
Not only doctors do not talk about it, but they ingore it completly ☹️ had two serious surgeries in 5 years and all the symptoms were ignored by doctors, like it was something in my head… while it is just basic physiology!
For the longest time I thought I had thyroid problems (always tired to the point I could barely function, bad brain fog, craved sugar like crazy, could never shut my brain down at night, close to morbidly obese). I went to a couple doctors who tested me and said I was on the verge of having hyperthyroidism. That didn't make sense. They were both supposed to be holistic, too. One wanted to put me on testosterone. No thanks. I finally found one who said, let's test the adrenals. Turned out (I don't know the unit's name) I was making 3.8 units of adrenal whatever he tested when the minimum was supposed to be 14. Well, there's the problem. He put me on some vitamins that really helped. I will add your suggestions to the mix. He never explained all this like you're doing here and I really appreciate the information. I want to go the natural route, I don't want to be on medicine that doesn't cure the problem.
Another key cause of ad fatigue is Caffeine. Been taking strong tea and coffee for decades now and never understoos why i have chronic low bp, fatigue, nocturnal routine, the body type, and am alwayss craving salt! I can not thank you enough Dr Berg!! May God reward you with great abundance for your kindness.
I feel like I became this way over the years, because people told me I'm too relaxed and I don't work as fast as other ppl. I want to retrain my body to be calm and be at its natural state of calmness. Thanks Dr. Berg, this video just affirmed what my intuition told me. Thank you for helping us
Dr. Berg--Thank you for this confirmation of what is so true about us burnt out overworked people, but not clear to our clueless "healthcare" system. This is exactly what happened to me with stress--I'm more awake at 2am than any time. A major loss, grief, horrible break-up, head injury, surprise pregnancy during peri-menopause, and caregiver for a dying loved one....serious overwhelm and burnout. Developed multiple autoimmune diseases....ZERO help from the medical system.....clawing my way back to some measure of health after a decade of ongoing pain and disability--trying to follow your advice...using herbs, diet, meditation, and a LOT of PRAYER. Also working on forgiving myself for not figuring out how to be made of steel. But still suffer terrible insomnia--sometimes don't sleep at all for 36 hours at a time even after hard physical work like mowing the lawn with a push mower or weeding the overgrown garden...it's hell to lie awake exhausted. Never sleep more than a few hours, not for years.
Massage is great to extract stress from the body. Dr. Berg's massage tool and the Nordic stick roller work great as a DIY. Sleep is so vital, good luck!
Oh wow!!! It's like you follow me around!!! Easily irritated, diabetes, ulcer, shortness of breath, the low potassium which caused PAC/PVC, the physical body changes, salt cravings, sleep patterns you described, all of it!!! I cannot thank you enough. I am going to put all of your recommendations into actions! Thank you!!
This is one of THE best videos from Dr. berg. I wish everyone would watch and truly understand this message. I do my best and STILL have issues. Imagine not trying at all.
THANK YOU Dr. Berg I have been struggling with weight , awake all night or wake up at 2am and can’t go back to sleep on and on hearing my pulse in my ears at night. Your timing is as always perfect. Again Thank You.
It's almost 5am and I'm fully awake. I had a pituitary tumor years ago that wrecked my life but since then I've had these issues you described. I'm listening!!
Sorry you are suffering sleep issues. Get a full panel vitamin & mineral deficiency test including a ferritin iron test, B12, folate = deficiency in these can cause sleep issues. take care.
I went through severe stress when my husband was ill and then developed hypothyroidism, insomnia, anxiety, weight gain, candida and sibo - I literally spent quite a few nights awake all night. It’s taken years of research to realise what was going on and now I’m going through the menopause, I realise I’ve also been estrogen dominant for years so I’m finally addressing that and trying to support the adrenals. I’m hoping that finally I’ll be able to lose weight and get my thyroid in better shape. Thank you Dr Berg!!
@@joanneclark8256 I’ve been doing it alone but it’s so overwhelming as I now am going through menopause so I’m seeing a medical herbalist next week who specialises in hashimotos. Hoping for a more focused approach. Have started taking Rhodiola which has really helped the anxiety.
This video is AMAZING! I'm 61 and in menopause. For Menopausal women, dealing with stress is very difficult. Our bodies are under stress just because of our flucuating hormones alone, so learning how to DE stress is so important. Thank you SO SO much for this.
I am crying while watching this. I was recently diagnosed with "end stage" adrenal fatigue but the protocol prescribed was so costly and overwhelming I didn't think I would ever be able to get better. Your tips for recovery sound so much more achievable and gives me hope. Thank you.
This is 100% me. I seriously can't take stupid people anymore, along with dealing with everything else he said. Peoples process of thinking has gone down quite a bit the past 3 or 4 years. Tired of carrying the dead weight around me.
Would add-Need to get the nervous system calmed: Magnesium supp or epsom salt baths Meditation Yoga Feel breathing Earthing Sleep and rest CBD w/out THC Also: Get more protein Eat regularly to stay balanced Take an electrolyte Drink bone broth Take a probiotic
I have stayed up so many nights without sleeping one min. I suffered CSA and also have a rocky marriage. I have high stress and anxiety daily. Im exhausted. I have all these symptoms. I will definitely try this. Thank you Dr. berg
So glad Dr. Berg made this specific video. I have chronic adrenal fatigue. My protein is converted to sugar and I lose muscle mass. Diet, sleep, meditation, less over training and mindful stress reduction is going to be my ticket to succeed. I refuse to let others, especially the most troublesome people I can't immediately rid myself from, dictate my happy place inside myself.😂🎉
Dr Berg is fasting ok to do if suffering from adrenal fatigue. I've been very low carb for over 2 years & can only eat 100g of meat at a sitting & didn't know if fasting might help. Thank you for all your information on RUclips Sal
Boy has this hit home! I worked a very stressful job in legal for 20 years, as well as being a single mum. So I was stressed to the max alllll the time. Suffered from severe headaches which I later found out was from sugar, but I heavily medicated on opioids to cope. Finally got out of that situation but years later went into another major stress episode when my partner and I built our own home with very little money, and used some very unhealthy coping mechanisms. I’m now dealing with the negative effects of all that in my 50’s, but thank goodness for Dr Berg, Healthy Keto and natural remedies. This information here, today, is the key I needed to truly get my health back. Thank you Dr Berg 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 The first description of low tolerance to stress is me in a nutshell 😂😂😂 Cannot handle stooopid people, slow drivers …..
I absolutely can relate to every single thing you've said in this video. It all started when I was a 24/7 lone caregiver for my elderly parent with dementia. The stress & isolation was unbelievable & I could quite literally feel my health slipping away. When the caregiving ended & I went back to work, I ended up having to take a job working nights. At first it seemed ok but the past few years having to constantly buck my body's natural Circadian rhythms is taking its toll. I've gradually acquired nearly every symptom on your list...especially not being able to tolerate stress & people who half-@ss their duties at work.
I’ve just been put off work for burn out after years of overworking. I piled on 35 kg in that amount of time and my body is exactly as described. My body was aching all over, I had an inflammatory syndrome. I started a keto diet 1st July and lost 10kg already. I feel much better already. I realise that the constant stress was the problem
Keto seems to be really good for most people. However I'm on a healthy carboyhydrate diet and its not bad either. I excluded bread. and before I was on medication I could do IF 16-8 aswell.
This is so on the money for me it's unreal. Just described my entire health battle ever since I had my gall bladder out it's just been downhill. Amazing information. Thanks
Best info hands down ! Why aren’t MD’s explaining this to all of their patients ? I guess it pays them for us to remain sick. Now that we all are better informed about our health thanks to you, we all will have a more healthy life and we’ll-being. ❤
This is a true blessing to me, I recently lost my job and it is a job finding a job😮 restarting my career. This can be so 🥺 stressful. I feel very stressed some days and overwhelmed by the process of working temporary jobs and information just spoke to me; the cravings the salty chips in the middle of the night, the feelings of anxiety 🤔 (where did that come from) 10pm, getting that second wind to stay up until 3 in the morning , extreamly tired (even after sleeping) not being dedicated to my intermittent fasting time 😢. Knowledge is power, I feel a exhale coming😘 this is a blessing and I am committed to my distress exercise, getting back to the gym for the distressed I'm in the pool in the sauna and the physical exercise 💜 Im sharing this information, Thank you Dr.Burg, I'm committed to getting back on track 17-7 with no snacking🎉. My way of life. 🌞
So me! Breathing issues that are severely affecting my lifestyle. The high anxiety, inability to deal with certain people/situations is SPOT ON! Surprisingly, I do have high blood sugar levels even though I hardly eat simple carbs. Thank you for bring light to my symptoms and offering solutions! 🙌🏻
I have been following you, watching your videos the last few weeks, implementing your advice. I have had these issues all my life. I am now 56! Where have you been all my life! I honestly thought I had a unique body shape as no matter how much I dieted and exercised, changes were minor. I have been fasting and following your recommendations for just a week. Sleeping almost through the night and breathing better as I have always felt I could not get enough oxygen in my body and also tend to hold my breath a lot! Thank you Dr Berg! This is already life-changing in as little as a week!
Dr. Berg, as an avid watcher of your videos over the years, I think this one is one of the most important and educational you’ve made. Thank you a million times!!! I have learned so much about the human body from you than any textbook I’ve ever read. Thank you again! Stay safe and healthy so you can keep us educated and informed.
This is definitely me! Was just at my Dr. yesterday and told her i sometimes don't sleep at all through the night, just like Dr. Berg said he did in his 20s. My Dr. suggested therapy
This sounds so much like me…. Highly stressful job, severe personal setbacks since 2009-10 onwards with no healing.. was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, went through gall bladder removal, diets don’t work …. Putting on weight in spite of fairly controlled diet and clean eating. Now it all ties up with this video. Thank you Dr. Berg: will look it up more. I would love if you can also guide us through more helpful tips. And I will start with Ashwagandha right away. 😊❤
Wow. So glad I stumbled onto this video. Thank you so much. That is exactly me. The "can't catch my breath" sensation, the stairs, the sleep interruption, the morning sleepiness, the anxiety- and lots of surgery recovery. And ugh the dreadful disfiguring body disarrangement... haha! Does this mean there's hope for my butt? It seems to have moved to the front of me! 😅
Dr Berg, this is so useful. I've been doing the Keto diet for two years now; got rid of the diabetes and managed the cholesterol until my last blood tests. I have so rarely felt I have got into ketosis, and perhaps this cortisol resistance is the cause. I've lived a fairly stressful life and all the symptoms you've described are all too familiar, including not being able to lose the belly fat. So thank you, I have to learn to relax.!!
Dr. Berg you nailed it! Your grip on the nitty gritties of health conditions and the way you pin down all the symptoms makes one feel like being personally diagnosed! It's just that some of us have it despite having a low BP and ensuing cravings for salty and tangy snacks/juices.
Dr Berg, you’re videos on vitamins and minerals are such an awesome source of info. Can we get a synopsis video in which you tell us how much of each that you recommend each day?
He’s made videos to answer this the best he could. But amounts needed very much depend on many factors, including stress, digestion, ect, which he describes in a few videos.
Sir, you hit the nail on the head this time 👍 The world we live in today is a lot more stressful in general if you pay attention to anything. I need to work on things to lower stress- including meditation, which I don't do enough of, outside of a normal God-consciousness. I could probably get up after 4 hours sleep at 2a.m. and start my day but I know that wouldn't last a long time before I got fatigued. Obviously 4 hours sleep is not enough.😢
You just described every single thing in order of all my health problems. I believe this is the answer to my health issues. Wow this is the first time I have ever heard all my symtoms being addressed. Thank you, now I have a place to start.
Dr. Berg, you are so calming to the soul. You give wonderful information and provide us with great advice. Just listening to you helps me relax. God bless you and your family. ❤
THAT'S ME! I knew it was since I've been bad before, but knowing that Ragland test showed it to be the case now. My systolic totally dropped. Now to focus on some of your recommendations. Thank you. I've spent the last year and a half dealing with cancer treatments and surgeries on top of regular stressors. Time for a change.
So the results from a Raglan test... my systolic went up by 39. I felt dizzy and faint immediately upon standing and had to sit. My doctor told me that was 'normal' and 'nothing wrong'. He's still 'confused' what my symptoms mean - pretty much most of the symptoms that you have listed in this video. I've been fainting a lot - and even I worked out it was shortly after standing and asked him if there was a link. Thank you for the clear explanation Dr Berg, and the solution.
Tears of both anger & relief as I am watching your video because yesterday I prayed & hoped a way to fix bodies like mine exist, not knowing exactly what was wrong, & today I find your video with the answers I needed. It’s frustrating to know your whole life has been playing against you & separating you from having your dream body because of being overly stressed, but it’s also encouraging to finally get answers so thank you so much for that. Really looking forward to starting my recovery journey especially if fixing my body can invert the fat pulling from the glutes, I’ve been considering using surgery for glute enhancement but, maybe it won’t be necessary anymore after I follow your recommendations!
The mere fact that the very first advice for a disorder with a stress-related etiology is not just saying "reduce it" then to say how to later is exactly why I followed Dr. Berg and trust him. Full advice with zero gaslighting.
Wow! This video described all the symptoms that I have! Thank you soooo much! It was very informative! I recently tried eating all plant based because I have seen some health summits on their theory and was trying to lose weight. Instead I gained a lot of weight quickly but it makes sense because my body is already converting my foods to sugar and then add a predominantly starch based diet and I ballooned. I’m going back to the keto way of eating. It’s so confusing with so many doctor’s opinions that contradict. That adds stress around eating too 😢
I have had adrenal fatigue for over 20 years. I had twins in 2001 and they were delivered by emergency cesarean at 28 weeks. One was released at 6 weeks and the other at 4 months. Both had apnea monitors and the one that stayed in NICU for four months also had oxygen. And I was alone. I also had severe anemia and pneumonia when they were delivered. They are now 22 years old and I am only now feeling alive again. But for so many years of no sleep and no help and dealing with a school system that was clueless was a nightmare. And I have a 22 year old that was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 12 months. I am a full time caregiver. 24/7/365. It comes in phases though. I feel good for a while then bam I’m down again.
OMG! Bless you! This video is UNREAL. I don't know where to start. I've been trying to get my doctors to listen to me. I researched adrenal fatigue years ago and just went back to PC doctor and he agreed to test my cortisol. We are doing the 24 hour urine test. But I jumped off the bed and was telling my bf to listen to you while watching this video. Thank you so much. I have the EXACT adrenal fatigue body. AND all the symptoms. And I HAVE to wear oxygen at night still. I was on oxygen 24/7 for severe hypoxemia back in 2018. I was 405 pounds. It was horrific. Then, I had gastric sleeve lost 150 pounds. But I still have too much C02 in my blood. I can't believe you nailed this. I know you said to work out, but I can only walk for 15 to 20 minutes. If I walk or overexert myself I will be in bed for 2 days in excruciating pain. I am not sure why I know this, but I think that maybe some sort of acid builds up when I over do the walking? Maybe you could help me figure that out? But I was diagnosed with Pickwick. Just unreal. My belly is HUGE and hangs over like this picture you put in the video. Your video is so good I'm going to tell my doctor to watch you. He and I have a good relationship and he has always been eager to help me. You literally confirmed what I knew was wrong with me for MANY years. I kept saying adrenal fatigue. Thank you..
Narcissistic mother & now ex-husband. Put on weight as a kid, lost it as an adult, put on a LOT of weight at end of marriage and totally unable to lose it. Chronic bronchitis, possible fibromyalgia as well. Started long-term fasting and got a job with a door that closes. Started meditating to sleep. Trying everything I can to lower stress. This vid is a godsend.
Thank you for a thorough explanation. I found out last year at 45 that I have diabetes and this year an autoimmune disease that they can't figure out. They did discover that I have 2 tumors on my adrenal gland, and I'm over producing cortisol. I literally have 100% symptoms you described. Because of my diet changes I've brought my sugar levels down to pre-diabetic. The Dr said that once we get my cortisol under control, I most likely won't be diabetic anymore.
This is a very delicate, complex issue , and few pay attention to it..unfortunately.. It is of tremendous importance ! Thank you very much , Dr. BERG !
Thank you Dr Berg for posting this! I was just diagnosed with adrenal fatigue. This put the final puzzle pieces together for me. I’ve had air hunger, racing heart, cry easily, digestion and acid issues, anxiety, dizziness. My cholesterol, the bad kind, is high. I have glucose regulation issues. I didn’t realize it was all connected.
I am so grateful for you Doctor Berg. I watch all your videos as much as I can and I'm learning so much from you I just have to be more diligent and apply I have been years still working on myself it is never a easy thing I just cannot tell you enough how grateful I am for your education and sharing easily. you are on my top five bucket list to meet in my life. I am a walking miracle since birth. Having thrombocytopenia, TAR, ..
Yup.. It’s rare that adrenal fatigue gets diagnosed but it does happen. Ironically both me and a colleague were found to have adrenal problems. Very hard to find it. I collapsed at work actually so landed in emergency room with a good practitioner. Lots of other health troubles, also executive function challenges, eventually a couple cancers, auto immune, diabetes, digestion issues, more. Wrote on this before. Found out I cannot detox chemicals well, so that caused, causes, major issues. Was fortunate to have run into some helpful practitioners. Adrenals improved with some herbal treatments and stress treatments. Quite serious situation now with work lack and loss of home. Doing what can. Years I couldn’t walk up stairs and spent nights in kitchen or days upstairs. Much improved but worried about recurrences of many issues due to lack of funds, help, self sufficiency. (Simple test with flashlight and pupils might be interesting for people to try).
Sounds like what I'm going through now , I've been to 4 doctors no diagnosis im having palpations with heart can't walk up stairs without feeling out of breath anxiety early morning with lots of mucus runny nose sitting in front of the heater because I feel cold out of nowhere high heart rate a feeling of pressure in the collar of my neck bloating with breathing troubles stomach extended like I'm pregnant "im a male" 42 years old on certain days I feel normal ..I just don't know what to do no one can help me or diagnose me . Dr berg's videos help with nutrition info but only temporarily ..fyi this all happened after I went through a divorce I was very stressed i cant deny that but now I've moved on and am happy with my life and these problems are affecting my quality of life 75% .....thank you all for your comments at least we can give eachother some insight when the doctors give us no answers ❤
@@russdadog look into whole food vitamins/supplements by Standard Process, it sounds like you might have nutritional deficiencies, especially vitamin B's very very mportant for your nervous system along with magnesium glycinate and vitamin D3/K at the very least. Cataplex B by Standard Process is excellent. Also look up Dr. Stephen Stokes on RUclips he may be able to help you if you email him at no cost he's awesome DC and very knowledgeable! Also IF really does help, not easy at first but once you get thru the hard part of adapting its amazing to help you feel better in my experience Good luck
@@russdadogmy suggestion isn’t necessarily “The answer” since what I know is still very limited but I would seriously consider talking organic psyllium husk everyday . It is meant to help your health overall but one of the first places you’ll feel it is in your bloating in that you’ll have less and less of it as time goes on. If you have a community tab I can suggest specific videos with a specific name . It seems sometimes comments get deleted for no obvious reason so I don’t want to mention the names of them here.
I started a caffeine withdrawal one week ago after drinking tons of coffee each day. I was a nervous, anxious, angry and tired wreck. Now I feel so much better.
Thank you. All signs point to Severe Adrenal Fatigue. I’ve been flat lining energy wise for years if not well over a decade. I suffer with all the other symptoms mentioned. Praying this will turn around now.
Dr. Berg PLEASE update your video description!..."Chronic stress can lead to adrenal fatigue" does NOT do justice to the amount and type of knowledge you are dropping in this video. Seriously. I'm a holistic health and integrative medicine specialist. I work with clients on this exact issue every single day. But somehow I *always* manage to learn something new watching your videos. Thank you so much for what you do!
Thank you so much Dr Berg , I have adrenal insufficiency for almost two years now , all this started after I did a nissen fundoplication and it's really been a roller coaster ride ever since , haven't been given any clarity why I'm on chronic medication, will definitely be saving this video
Dr. Berg, when I listen to you and you are describing exactly how I feel, it makes me so happy I am not crazy. Then I read other peoples comments and there are more people like me. I just want to hug you ! Thank you for all your hard work, and the wonderful way you explain things.
Wow! This is just eye opening, I have Adrenal Insufficiency and I’ve gotten more answers in this one video than I have had in all my years of conventional medicine and medicine. My biggest source of stress is my medical appts with my Endocrinologist I kept thinking there’s got to be a better healing/ health way now I know there is. Thank you Dr. Berg you’re a life saver.
The picture of the woman is my portrait ! 😂😢...I have suffered big stress during the last years and last months, first I have had a sort of burned out at work because of my boss, then my mother was very ill and I cared about her until she passed away, then my brother got very ill, he has been in coma 3 times in the space of four months and now he will not really recover from his diseases...So any bad news and I think worse and wake up at 3/4 in the morning, making stupid nightmares ! Thank you dr Berg for all your advices, nobody would give and explain the body like that, I have already begin to take vitamin D without knowing it was good for stress...❤
I have adrenal fatigue - I am working on stress relief. I just ordered your supplements and I am also taking homeopathic stress calm which has helped alot. I take holy basil and l-theanine as well. It all has helped but I am still on the mend. thanks for putting information out there.
Oh my! You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly me. I just made an appt. with an endocrinologist. (I wish it was with you.)Thanks so much for this very valuable information! I am so grateful and will be following your good advice.
I have 2 adrenal adenomas that have been monitored by MD Anderson for 4 years. I have All of these symptoms. I just quit my job as a Special Education Teacher because it was making my health worse. Thanks for this video. I'm ready to properly get my health right.
It all makes sense now! Reset the circadian rhythm by sun light exposure! It increases your vit D level and resets your bio clock, and then your gut microbiome too. Wow
Jaysus, this is me for the past almost sixty years, every single symptom! My doc always tells me my adrenals are fine, but I think it's the basic test they always do, not the 11 point one. Keto helped, but I had a big dosing of strong steroids last summer and I've not been the same since, even problems with keto.
I have so much respect for Dr Berg. He does all this incredible research then offers the data to the public free. In doing that he has changed the health of so many people worldwide ❤. I have a kidney issue & my kidney "expert" told me to eat cake & drink Gatorade to handle severe weight loss & electrolyte problem. 😢 Obviously I didn't take that advice. Thank you for caring Dr Berg ❤
Dr. Berg, I've gained so much understanding & insight on how my body works ( or doesn't) through your videos...I can't thank you enough for educating me with all of your profound informations & knowledge!! 🤗❤ I wish you could educate all the doctor's I've encountered throughout my life, who would always dismiss my pain. It's a shame how many medical professionals seem to have zero interest nor knockledge on finding the cause & only treat the symptons ( if anything!! ) You are a true gem, Dr. Berg & your work is paramount!! 🙏 Thank you so so much & stay blessed!!
Thank you!!! I got so stressed by something a couple years ago I couldn’t even listen to music without getting enraged!! And music and dance were a HUGE part of my life!! That particular event was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but it was bad on it’s own. I’m recovering- but I finally was able to get back to the gym (12 surgeries and 13 rounds of PT over the last 5.5 years) and I cannot breathe!!! I was super fit before all the injuries, an over exerciser, and now I just can’t breathe!! This helps me understand why. I got some benfotiamine yesterday after watching one of your videos and I think it’s already helping. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks!
I never understood how people do this. Is this a robot ??
@@yourenough3 I'm sorry robot don't have adrenal fatigue, they do run out of battery power though 😁
This brought me to tears. I finally understand what I’ve suffered from for years. This defines all of my symptoms.
Thank you! I’ve dealt with this for a decade.
Glad I was able to help you. Sharing more videos here on adrenal issues: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=adrenal%20issues

I know me too. This has completely made things so much clearer to me. The years of thyroid issues vitamin D deficiency. My sleep schedule. So many things.
Me too
Anyone else feel better just hearing his voice?
yes ❤❤

Always! He would be a great psychologist!
Yes!
The knowledge he gives is the best. The way he speaks calmly, is the cherry on top
I have just come out of 18 months of stress, fear and worry, shame and guilt. A dark night of the soul, but, I am lucky I had tools to survive. I was in a bad way though, eating crap (high carb and sugar) I didn't give a fig for my own health and fasting went bye bye.
I am thankful I had a diabetic crisis, hospital with outdated medical procedures for diabetes (dextrose and insulin) I was teetering with potassium and magnesium deficiency and circling the drain after my whole system went down... 4 months later... I am almost normal 1980 normal, I am eating right, walking, fasting, mindful, and about to learn how to heal my darling little adrenal glands. I love life, I am thankful and appreciate you Doctor Berg
Of course I'm watching this at 2am.. I have all those symptoms except high blood pressure. Gastrointestinal issues that can't be explained. Breathing problems. Over weight. Can't deal with stress. Takes everything seriously. Poor diet. Aggravated easily.
Wow thank you Dr for making this video

I ran on continuous adrenaline 20-24 hours a day from age 19 on, and had zero to 5 hours sleep a night , had abnormally stressful home life and a stressful job. I was burned out by 35. Now I’m 50 & still trying to fix my self. I wish I knew all this when I was younger, especially when I was trying to raise my kids in that constant state.
I’m 57 and it’s like I read my story when I read yours ❤️…. Still struggling with it. Menopause made it worse unfort..
Same here.
@@RedlingsteinSame here, same age❤
Same here but I’m now 75 & while I’ve gotten somewhat better, still many symptoms. This man really identified
many things I didn’t know were related.
Ditto!!
As a retired nurse of 30yrs, you are spot on doc
you know, as a phlegmatic person I always thought I never got stressed out, but my body type is clearly adrenal!! Now I understand that I internalized my stress. Thanks for all your teaching, Dr Berg!!
I was the classic Cushing’s syndrome body type. Through a proper human diet I removed the roughly ninety extra pounds I was carrying. After they found my muscle invasive bladder cancer they found the tumor on my adrenal. A suppression test showed it was putting out extra cortisol. Removal corrected my metabolism with a tremendous improvement in health. Not only physically but also mentally.
Could you please explain what you mean by a compression test. I’m apparently very much an adrenal. Body type. But trying to figure it all out.😢
@@loiscashner6567 They give you a 1mg steroid pill to tell your adrenals to turn off. If your own cortisol is still being produced it will be over 1.88mcg/dl. They call it a suppression test.
@barkpeeler2000 The surgeon left a sliver after removal to allow a possible grow back.
I would love to chat more with you! I found out i have a benign tumor on one of mine also which has been causing my high blood pressure! Was surgery the only option they gave you?
@@chocolatesunflower2386 They treated my high blood pressure with inderal and an ace inhibitor in my early 30’s. I’m 67 now. Once I went ketogenic a few years ago I got off the meds. The clue for me was my high fasting blood sugar. I fought tooth and nail that I wasn’t insulin resistant. I got those useless diabetes talks. I kept telling them I ate less that 20 carbs a day. I guess they thought I was lying? Anyway an Adrenal Center in Tampa consult with a world class surgeon had me on the table on Valentines Day for removal. I believe it was messing with my metabolism. Hence my feelings were often jumbled. It’s taken some time but I sense a new feeling of self.
This Doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health.
He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely 😊😊👍👍
Yes, me too. Amazing human 🙂
They would do that IF the goal was for ppl to be healthy and live but they don’t 🤦🏽♀️
So very true! Agree 100%! I had docs telling me just the opposite what he said here😮
Well said!! I love Dr. Berg ❤ I could he could be my primary care doctor 😢
Tell us something we DON'T know. He's smarter than ANY medical doctor I know now. He hasn't been bought out like the rest of the "deep state physicians".
I know I have this condition!! I been a correctional officer for 10 years and been in horrible stressful situation, have had life stressors and have a disabled adult child I care for. Thank you so much for this video. Very informative I don’t take any medication but am in my fifties. Definitely gonna learn to manage myself use these suggestions. Thank you Dr. Berg. I have hope.
BEST WISHES!!!!🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Recap by Tammy AI
Awesome 👏 thanks for sharing 🎉
Thank-U. ❤
I really wish more people/physicians talked about the adrenal and cortisol reactions to surgery
Not only doctors do not talk about it, but they ingore it completly ☹️ had two serious surgeries in 5 years and all the symptoms were ignored by doctors, like it was something in my head… while it is just basic physiology!
For the longest time I thought I had thyroid problems (always tired to the point I could barely function, bad brain fog, craved sugar like crazy, could never shut my brain down at night, close to morbidly obese). I went to a couple doctors who tested me and said I was on the verge of having hyperthyroidism. That didn't make sense. They were both supposed to be holistic, too. One wanted to put me on testosterone. No thanks. I finally found one who said, let's test the adrenals. Turned out (I don't know the unit's name) I was making 3.8 units of adrenal whatever he tested when the minimum was supposed to be 14. Well, there's the problem. He put me on some vitamins that really helped. I will add your suggestions to the mix. He never explained all this like you're doing here and I really appreciate the information. I want to go the natural route, I don't want to be on medicine that doesn't cure the problem.
Another key cause of ad fatigue is Caffeine. Been taking strong tea and coffee for decades now and never understoos why i have chronic low bp, fatigue, nocturnal routine, the body type, and am alwayss craving salt! I can not thank you enough Dr Berg!! May God reward you with great abundance for your kindness.

I feel like I became this way over the years, because people told me I'm too relaxed and I don't work as fast as other ppl. I want to retrain my body to be calm and be at its natural state of calmness. Thanks Dr. Berg, this video just affirmed what my intuition told me. Thank you for helping us
exactly... its positively incentivised to be this way!
Same here, my family used to tell me to get better batteries cause I was too low energy and calm.

@@angiecats5298 Amen 🙏
Dr. Berg--Thank you for this confirmation of what is so true about us burnt out overworked people, but not clear to our clueless "healthcare" system. This is exactly what happened to me with stress--I'm more awake at 2am than any time. A major loss, grief, horrible break-up, head injury, surprise pregnancy during peri-menopause, and caregiver for a dying loved one....serious overwhelm and burnout. Developed multiple autoimmune diseases....ZERO help from the medical system.....clawing my way back to some measure of health after a decade of ongoing pain and disability--trying to follow your advice...using herbs, diet, meditation, and a LOT of PRAYER. Also working on forgiving myself for not figuring out how to be made of steel.
But still suffer terrible insomnia--sometimes don't sleep at all for 36 hours at a time even after hard physical work like mowing the lawn with a push mower or weeding the overgrown garden...it's hell to lie awake exhausted. Never sleep more than a few hours, not for years.
Massage is great to extract stress from the body. Dr. Berg's massage tool and the Nordic stick roller work great as a DIY. Sleep is so vital, good luck!
I so identify!!!

Sorry you are suffering sleep issues. Get a full panel vitamin & mineral deficiency test including a ferritin iron test, B12, folate = deficiency in these can cause sleep issues. take care.
I went through severe stress when my husband was ill and then developed hypothyroidism, insomnia, anxiety, weight gain, candida and sibo - I literally spent quite a few nights awake all night. It’s taken years of research to realise what was going on and now I’m going through the menopause, I realise I’ve also been estrogen dominant for years so I’m finally addressing that and trying to support the adrenals. I’m hoping that finally I’ll be able to lose weight and get my thyroid in better shape. Thank you Dr Berg!!
Did you have pcos? Are you seeing certain Dr? How you addressing it all
@@joanneclark8256 I’ve been doing it alone but it’s so overwhelming as I now am going through menopause so I’m seeing a medical herbalist next week who specialises in hashimotos. Hoping for a more focused approach. Have started taking Rhodiola which has really helped the anxiety.

Would add-Need to get the nervous system calmed:

Meditation
Yoga
Feel breathing
Earthing
Sleep and rest
CBD w/out THC
Also:
Get more protein
Eat regularly to stay balanced
Take an electrolyte
Drink bone broth
Take a probiotic
Never take bath salts, some guy started eating his friends face, he took out as a fake LSD I guess
Bath salts are for taking a bath in salt water

So glad Dr. Berg made this specific video. I have chronic adrenal fatigue. My protein is converted to sugar and I lose muscle mass. Diet, sleep, meditation, less over training and mindful stress reduction is going to be my ticket to succeed. I refuse to let others, especially the most troublesome people I can't immediately rid myself from, dictate my happy place inside myself.😂🎉
You have a good attitude.
Dr Berg is fasting ok to do if suffering from adrenal fatigue. I've been very low carb for over 2 years & can only eat 100g of meat at a sitting & didn't know if fasting might help. Thank you for all your information on RUclips Sal

Boy has this hit home! I worked a very stressful job in legal for 20 years, as well as being a single mum. So I was stressed to the max alllll the time. Suffered from severe headaches which I later found out was from sugar, but I heavily medicated on opioids to cope. Finally got out of that situation but years later went into another major stress episode when my partner and I built our own home with very little money, and used some very unhealthy coping mechanisms. I’m now dealing with the negative effects of all that in my 50’s, but thank goodness for Dr Berg, Healthy Keto and natural remedies. This information here, today, is the key I needed to truly get my health back. Thank you Dr Berg 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The first description of low tolerance to stress is me in a nutshell 😂😂😂 Cannot handle stooopid people, slow drivers …..
I absolutely can relate to every single thing you've said in this video. It all started when I was a 24/7 lone caregiver for my elderly parent with dementia. The stress & isolation was unbelievable & I could quite literally feel my health slipping away. When the caregiving ended & I went back to work, I ended up having to take a job working nights. At first it seemed ok but the past few years having to constantly buck my body's natural Circadian rhythms is taking its toll. I've gradually acquired nearly every symptom on your list...especially not being able to tolerate stress & people who half-@ss their duties at work.

I’ve just been put off work for burn out after years of overworking. I piled on 35 kg in that amount of time and my body is exactly as described. My body was aching all over, I had an inflammatory syndrome. I started a keto diet 1st July and lost 10kg already. I feel much better already. I realise that the constant stress was the problem
Keto seems to be really good for most people. However I'm on a healthy carboyhydrate diet and its not bad either. I excluded bread. and before I was on medication I could do IF 16-8 aswell.
For keto ,what are you eating as meals
10kg is a big deal 👏👏👏
I day 3 of water fast. Trying to go 10 days. I smell hamburgers, cake all over when I am work.
On my 4th sick leave for this. No amount of doctors have not helped me. 🤢

This is a true blessing to me, I recently lost my job and it is a job finding a job😮 restarting my career. This can be so 🥺 stressful. I feel very stressed some days and overwhelmed by the process of working temporary jobs and information just spoke to me; the cravings the salty chips in the middle of the night, the feelings of anxiety 🤔 (where did that come from) 10pm, getting that second wind to stay up until 3 in the morning , extreamly tired (even after sleeping) not being dedicated to my intermittent fasting time 😢.

I have been following you, watching your videos the last few weeks, implementing your advice. I have had these issues all my life. I am now 56! Where have you been all my life! I honestly thought I had a unique body shape as no matter how much I dieted and exercised, changes were minor. I have been fasting and following your recommendations for just a week. Sleeping almost through the night and breathing better as I have always felt I could not get enough oxygen in my body and also tend to hold my breath a lot! Thank you Dr Berg! This is already life-changing in as little as a week!
Dr. Berg, as an avid watcher of your videos over the years, I think this one is one of the most important and educational you’ve made. Thank you a million times!!! I have learned so much about the human body from you than any textbook I’ve ever read. Thank you again! Stay safe and healthy so you can keep us educated and informed.
This is definitely me! Was just at my Dr. yesterday and told her i sometimes don't sleep at all through the night, just like Dr. Berg said he did in his 20s. My Dr. suggested therapy
This sounds so much like me…. Highly stressful job, severe personal setbacks since 2009-10 onwards with no healing.. was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, went through gall bladder removal, diets don’t work …. Putting on weight in spite of fairly controlled diet and clean eating. Now it all ties up with this video. Thank you Dr. Berg: will look it up more. I would love if you can also guide us through more helpful tips. And I will start with Ashwagandha right away. 😊❤
Wow. So glad I stumbled onto this video. Thank you so much. That is exactly me. The "can't catch my breath" sensation, the stairs, the sleep interruption, the morning sleepiness, the anxiety- and lots of surgery recovery.
And ugh the dreadful disfiguring body disarrangement... haha! Does this mean there's hope for my butt? It seems to have moved to the front of me! 😅

Dr Berg, this is so useful. I've been doing the Keto diet for two years now; got rid of the diabetes and managed the cholesterol until my last blood tests. I have so rarely felt I have got into ketosis, and perhaps this cortisol resistance is the cause. I've lived a fairly stressful life and all the symptoms you've described are all too familiar, including not being able to lose the belly fat. So thank you, I have to learn to relax.!!

Dr. Berg you nailed it! Your grip on the nitty gritties of health conditions and the way you pin down all the symptoms makes one feel like being personally diagnosed! It's just that some of us have it despite having a low BP and ensuing cravings for salty and tangy snacks/juices.
Thanks. Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching!
Dr Berg, you’re videos on vitamins and minerals are such an awesome source of info. Can we get a synopsis video in which you tell us how much of each that you recommend each day?
He’s made videos to answer this the best he could. But amounts needed very much depend on many factors, including stress, digestion, ect, which he describes in a few videos.
Sir, you hit the nail on the head this time 👍
The world we live in today is a lot more stressful in general if you pay attention to anything.
I need to work on things to lower stress- including meditation, which I don't do enough of, outside of a normal God-consciousness.
I could probably get up after 4 hours sleep at 2a.m. and start my day but I know that wouldn't last a long time before I got fatigued. Obviously 4 hours sleep is not enough.😢
You just described every single thing in order of all my health problems. I believe this is the answer to my health issues. Wow this is the first time I have ever heard all my symtoms being addressed. Thank you, now I have a place to start.

Dr. Berg, you are so calming to the soul. You give wonderful information and provide us with great advice. Just listening to you helps me relax. God bless you and your family. ❤
THAT'S ME! I knew it was since I've been bad before, but knowing that Ragland test showed it to be the case now. My systolic totally dropped. Now to focus on some of your recommendations. Thank you.
I've spent the last year and a half dealing with cancer treatments and surgeries on top of regular stressors. Time for a change.
Right. Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on stress relief, on post surgeries, on recovery, ect, may help.
So the results from a Raglan test... my systolic went up by 39. I felt dizzy and faint immediately upon standing and had to sit. My doctor told me that was 'normal' and 'nothing wrong'. He's still 'confused' what my symptoms mean - pretty much most of the symptoms that you have listed in this video. I've been fainting a lot - and even I worked out it was shortly after standing and asked him if there was a link.
Thank you for the clear explanation Dr Berg, and the solution.

It’s frustrating to know your whole life has been playing against you & separating you from having your dream body because of being overly stressed, but it’s also encouraging to finally get answers so thank you so much for that. Really looking forward to starting my recovery journey especially if fixing my body can invert the fat pulling from the glutes, I’ve been considering using surgery for glute enhancement but, maybe it won’t be necessary anymore after I follow your recommendations!
Right! Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on adrenals may help further.
The mere fact that the very first advice for a disorder with a stress-related etiology is not just saying "reduce it" then to say how to later is exactly why I followed Dr. Berg and trust him. Full advice with zero gaslighting.
Wow! This video described all the symptoms that I have! Thank you soooo much! It was very informative! I recently tried eating all plant based because I have seen some health summits on their theory and was trying to lose weight. Instead I gained a lot of weight quickly but it makes sense because my body is already converting my foods to sugar and then add a predominantly starch based diet and I ballooned. I’m going back to the keto way of eating. It’s so confusing with so many doctor’s opinions that contradict. That adds stress around eating too 😢
Excellent informative delivery with solutions 🙏🙏🙏
I have had adrenal fatigue for over 20 years. I had twins in 2001 and they were delivered by emergency cesarean at 28 weeks. One was released at 6 weeks and the other at 4 months. Both had apnea monitors and the one that stayed in NICU for four months also had oxygen. And I was alone. I also had severe anemia and pneumonia when they were delivered. They are now 22 years old and I am only now feeling alive again. But for so many years of no sleep and no help and dealing with a school system that was clueless was a nightmare. And I have a 22 year old that was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 12 months. I am a full time caregiver. 24/7/365. It comes in phases though. I feel good for a while then bam I’m down again.
OMG! Bless you! This video is UNREAL. I don't know where to start. I've been trying to get my doctors to listen to me. I researched adrenal fatigue years ago and just went back to PC doctor and he agreed to test my cortisol. We are doing the 24 hour urine test. But I jumped off the bed and was telling my bf to listen to you while watching this video. Thank you so much. I have the EXACT adrenal fatigue body. AND all the symptoms. And I HAVE to wear oxygen at night still. I was on oxygen 24/7 for severe hypoxemia back in 2018. I was 405 pounds. It was horrific. Then, I had gastric sleeve lost 150 pounds. But I still have too much C02 in my blood. I can't believe you nailed this. I know you said to work out, but I can only walk for 15 to 20 minutes. If I walk or overexert myself I will be in bed for 2 days in excruciating pain. I am not sure why I know this, but I think that maybe some sort of acid builds up when I over do the walking? Maybe you could help me figure that out? But I was diagnosed with Pickwick. Just unreal. My belly is HUGE and hangs over like this picture you put in the video. Your video is so good I'm going to tell my doctor to watch you. He and I have a good relationship and he has always been eager to help me. You literally confirmed what I knew was wrong with me for MANY years. I kept saying adrenal fatigue. Thank you..
Dr. Berg, You are so appreciated. I cannot thank you enough for the thorough and detailed explanations.
Narcissistic mother & now ex-husband. Put on weight as a kid, lost it as an adult, put on a LOT of weight at end of marriage and totally unable to lose it. Chronic bronchitis, possible fibromyalgia as well. Started long-term fasting and got a job with a door that closes. Started meditating to sleep. Trying everything I can to lower stress. This vid is a godsend.
Great 👍 Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on adrenals may help further.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I PRAYED FOR!
Understanding. 🙏🏽
Awesome!
Thank you for a thorough explanation. I found out last year at 45 that I have diabetes and this year an autoimmune disease that they can't figure out. They did discover that I have 2 tumors on my adrenal gland, and I'm over producing cortisol. I literally have 100% symptoms you described. Because of my diet changes I've brought my sugar levels down to pre-diabetic. The Dr said that once we get my cortisol under control, I most likely won't be diabetic anymore.
Great 👍 Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on adrenals , on autoimmune, on tumors, ect, may help further.
This is a very delicate, complex issue , and few pay attention to it..unfortunately..
It is of tremendous importance !
Thank you very much , Dr. BERG !
B1, potassium (salads), C (citrus, sauerkraut), excercise - have I remembered everything?
Thank you, interesting material, as always.

Thank you Dr Berg for posting this! I was just diagnosed with adrenal fatigue. This put the final puzzle pieces together for me. I’ve had air hunger, racing heart, cry easily, digestion and acid issues, anxiety, dizziness. My cholesterol, the bad kind, is high. I have glucose regulation issues. I didn’t realize it was all connected.
You are most welcome, Nicole. Very glad the information is helping. Here is another video for you! 👉 ruclips.net/video/FQ_e0iS0lhQ/видео.html
I am so grateful for you Doctor Berg.
I watch all your videos as much as I can and I'm learning so much from you
I just have to be more diligent and apply I have been years
still working on myself it is never a easy thing
I just cannot tell you enough how grateful I am for your education and sharing easily.
you are on my top five bucket list to meet in my life.
I am a walking miracle since birth.
Having thrombocytopenia, TAR, ..
Yup.. It’s rare that adrenal fatigue gets diagnosed but it does happen. Ironically both me and a colleague were found to have adrenal problems. Very hard to find it. I collapsed at work actually so landed in emergency room with a good practitioner. Lots of other health troubles, also executive function challenges, eventually a couple cancers, auto immune, diabetes, digestion issues, more. Wrote on this before. Found out I cannot detox chemicals well, so that caused, causes, major issues. Was fortunate to have run into some helpful practitioners. Adrenals improved with some herbal treatments and stress treatments. Quite serious situation now with work lack and loss of home. Doing what can. Years I couldn’t walk up stairs and spent nights in kitchen or days upstairs. Much improved but worried about recurrences of many issues due to lack of funds, help, self sufficiency. (Simple test with flashlight and pupils might be interesting for people to try).
Sounds like what I'm going through now , I've been to 4 doctors no diagnosis im having palpations with heart can't walk up stairs without feeling out of breath anxiety early morning with lots of mucus runny nose sitting in front of the heater because I feel cold out of nowhere high heart rate a feeling of pressure in the collar of my neck bloating with breathing troubles stomach extended like I'm pregnant "im a male" 42 years old on certain days I feel normal ..I just don't know what to do no one can help me or diagnose me . Dr berg's videos help with nutrition info but only temporarily ..fyi this all happened after I went through a divorce I was very stressed i cant deny that but now I've moved on and am happy with my life and these problems are affecting my quality of life 75% .....thank you all for your comments at least we can give eachother some insight when the doctors give us no answers ❤
@@russdadog look into whole food vitamins/supplements by Standard Process, it sounds like you might have nutritional deficiencies, especially vitamin B's very very mportant for your nervous system along with magnesium glycinate and vitamin D3/K at the very least. Cataplex B by Standard Process is excellent. Also look up Dr. Stephen Stokes on RUclips he may be able to help you if you email him at no cost he's awesome DC and very knowledgeable! Also IF really does help, not easy at first but once you get thru the hard part of adapting its amazing to help you feel better in my experience Good luck
What supplements did you take?
@@russdadogmy suggestion isn’t necessarily “The answer” since what I know is still very limited but I would seriously consider talking organic psyllium husk everyday . It is meant to help your health overall but one of the first places you’ll feel it is in your bloating in that you’ll have less and less of it as time goes on. If you have a community tab I can suggest specific videos with a specific name . It seems sometimes comments get deleted for no obvious reason so I don’t want to mention the names of them here.
@SleeplessinOC Thank you i will give it a try anything is worth a shot!
I started a caffeine withdrawal one week ago after drinking tons of coffee each day. I was a nervous, anxious, angry and tired wreck. Now I feel so much better.
Awesome 👏 Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on adrenals may help further.
Yes--I grew up ultra-vigilant and walking on eggshells. Problems ensue for a lifetime.
Same here. Childhood trauma? = Life of stress and anguish.
Try living in NYC😢
Thank you. All signs point to Severe Adrenal Fatigue. I’ve been flat lining energy wise for years if not well over a decade.
I suffer with all the other symptoms mentioned. Praying this will turn around now.
Dr. Berg PLEASE update your video description!..."Chronic stress can lead to adrenal fatigue" does NOT do justice to the amount and type of knowledge you are dropping in this video. Seriously. I'm a holistic health and integrative medicine specialist. I work with clients on this exact issue every single day. But somehow I *always* manage to learn something new watching your videos. Thank you so much for what you do!
Thank you so much Dr Berg , I have adrenal insufficiency for almost two years now , all this started after I did a nissen fundoplication and it's really been a roller coaster ride ever since , haven't been given any clarity why I'm on chronic medication, will definitely be saving this video

I have never heard this explained in this way. Incredibly helpful. THANK YOU, Dr. Berg! ❤
I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
This man have been life saving for me.. Thank you Doc.. N may God bless you in abundance🎉🙌🥺
Dr. Berg, when I listen to you and you are describing exactly how I feel, it makes me so happy I am not crazy. Then I read other peoples comments and there are more people like me. I just want to hug you ! Thank you for all your hard work, and the wonderful way you explain things.
Thank you very much. Love you all!
Wow! This is just eye opening, I have Adrenal Insufficiency and I’ve gotten more answers in this one video than I have had in all my years of conventional medicine and medicine. My biggest source of stress is my medical appts with my Endocrinologist I kept thinking there’s got to be a better healing/ health way now I know there is. Thank you Dr. Berg you’re a life saver.
Yes 🙌 there is a better way!! Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on adrenals may help further.
The picture of the woman is my portrait ! 😂😢...I have suffered big stress during the last years and last months, first I have had a sort of burned out at work because of my boss, then my mother was very ill and I cared about her until she passed away, then my brother got very ill, he has been in coma 3 times in the space of four months and now he will not really recover from his diseases...So any bad news and I think worse and wake up at 3/4 in the morning, making stupid nightmares ! Thank you dr Berg for all your advices, nobody would give and explain the body like that, I have already begin to take vitamin D without knowing it was good for stress...❤
I always look forward to your videos. I learn so much! I have suffered from adrenal fatigue for years due to stress in my life. Thank you!!
Glad you found my videos helpful! Thanks for watching!
I have adrenal fatigue - I am working on stress relief. I just ordered your supplements and I am also taking homeopathic stress calm which has helped alot. I take holy basil and l-theanine as well. It all has helped but I am still on the mend. thanks for putting information out there.
Have you tried his electrolytes? Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on adrenals may help further.
Oh my! You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly me. I just made an appt. with an endocrinologist. (I wish it was with you.)Thanks so much for this very valuable information! I am so grateful and will be following your good advice.
I fired mine and found Dr Berg. ❤
I have 2 adrenal adenomas that have been monitored by MD Anderson for 4 years. I have All of these symptoms. I just quit my job as a Special Education Teacher because it was making my health worse. Thanks for this video. I'm ready to properly get my health right.
Great 👍 Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on adrenals may help further.
It all makes sense now! Reset the circadian rhythm by sun light exposure! It increases your vit D level and resets your bio clock, and then your gut microbiome too. Wow
Holy cow! This video makes so much sense for my body!!
Thank you so much for this video 🙏
I’m a skinny fat girl and now I understand why.
Most welcome! Glad you found the information useful!
Jaysus, this is me for the past almost sixty years, every single symptom! My doc always tells me my adrenals are fine, but I think it's the basic test they always do, not the 11 point one. Keto helped, but I had a big dosing of strong steroids last summer and I've not been the same since, even problems with keto.
Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on adrenals, on steroids and on absorption of vitamin d may help further.
Thank you again Dr Berg
It's just such a blessing to have a doctor sharing all these knowledge. God bless you and your family
Dr.Berg is just such a good educator. Fabulous presenter. I love every video of his!
Glad you enjoy my videos! Thanks for watching!
I have so much respect for Dr Berg. He does all this incredible research then offers the data to the public free. In doing that he has changed the health of so many people worldwide ❤. I have a kidney issue & my kidney "expert" told me to eat cake & drink Gatorade to handle severe weight loss & electrolyte problem. 😢 Obviously I didn't take that advice.
Thank you for caring Dr Berg ❤
Dr. Berg, I've gained so much understanding & insight on how my body works ( or doesn't) through your videos...I can't thank you enough for educating me with all of your profound informations & knowledge!! 🤗❤ I wish you could educate all the doctor's I've encountered throughout my life, who would always dismiss my pain. It's a shame how many medical professionals seem to have zero interest nor knockledge on finding the cause & only treat the symptons ( if anything!! ) You are a true gem, Dr. Berg & your work is paramount!! 🙏 Thank you so so much & stay blessed!!
Thanks for your kind comment, I'm so glad to help!
Omg!!!! This is me. I swear I want to cry. Everything u just described I’m going tru with no help 😢😢😢 I can’t even speak omg
Hope you found the video helpful!
@celestialrodriguez891 This is me too, I found Dr Berg a month ago 🙏
Dr Eric Berg thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am now confident this what has caused my autonomic dysfunction.
Thank you!!! I got so stressed by something a couple years ago I couldn’t even listen to music without getting enraged!! And music and dance were a HUGE part of my life!! That particular event was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but it was bad on it’s own. I’m recovering- but I finally was able to get back to the gym (12 surgeries and 13 rounds of PT over the last 5.5 years) and I cannot breathe!!! I was super fit before all the injuries, an over exerciser, and now I just can’t breathe!! This helps me understand why. I got some benfotiamine yesterday after watching one of your videos and I think it’s already helping. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
