I so appreciate the calm, factual, non-sensationalized approach of this video. It's so welcome after all the bs and hype of so many Internet diet and health "experts" only seeking to promote their supplements/diet approach/latest craze grift.
Absolutely agreed! All it takes is a little actual information from a trained professional, and most of the hype claims crumble under the weight of logic.
Yea I realized why not everybody made it to televison back in the day. Social media is the perfect example as to why ...haha. And thank GOD for that ! I would rather go back to the days people watched television pre-social media days. So much saner.
funny you say that when this doc is literally gaslighting everyone, it's common knowledge people who take steroids for medical issues like joint/inflammation issues balloon out and are all puffy. It's been common knowledge for decades because we all see it first hand.
Thats a fallacy. Flawless skin ppl usually do not know how to get a skin ravaged by skin issues to something near flawless because they have never experienced a skin with issues. Thats why most ppl with flawless skin usually say they use soap to wash their face and moisturisers.
@@jerseycatmews828 ikr? I mean, I'm not asking for me, but I have a niece who would be interested and I would *love* to have him as a new nephew. He would be a great addition to the family!
I was near Addisons disease back in my early 30s and had to take a steroid to get my cortisol numbers back up to normal, and I took time off work too… It was an awful time in my life. I’m so much healthier in my mid forties now! I’m thankful.
Makes sense, my friend grew up in a highly stressful environment her face is round and fat. She always used to ask us why her face wouldn’t slim down when she would lose weight.
Omg same. So you're telling me that my severe childhood trauma and CPTSD is why I have a baby face? I'm 26, a teacher and look younger than the middle schoolers at the school I work at. I lived my whole life with high cortisol levels and it's showing...
When I was in grad school and graduated at 38 I looked older in the face than I do now at almost 47. The stress was killing me then. I do believe it was a combo of things including stress.
A children's neurologist I know said that screen time stimulates cortisol production which is why children younger than 7 years of age should not be exposed to computer screens. She said they ultimately get addicted to cortisol production and then grow up with emotional problems.
My childhood was very stressful along with a poor diet and I feel like till today as a grown adult it’s still effecting my quality of life. I don’t know where to get help.
I think all my symptoms of illness would disappear as soon as a Doctor, this good looking walked into consultation room. Maybe this could be a new, more affordable stategy for the US Health System.
Lately, I feel like my cortisol levels have risen because of excessive noise at where I live. There's construction going on and the noises are unbearable. I've been feeling very healthy until recently. I'm in a state of shock, having shakes, coughing, depression, and dizziness because of all of the noise. It's not fair!
Hello. I'm particularly sensitive : I have professional "3m peltor x series" earmuffs (the stronger ones), and the Silicone ear plugs by "SleepDreamz" are the best I've been able to test...! 🤍
Cortisol can derive from stress. I have Graves’ disease and ptsd my face has changed drastically in the last ten years. Great Dr and I’m sure his mom is proud 🥰
This has me randomly researching for myself - there was a period about 5 years back when I look at my pictures and my face is at it's chubbiest. I am a slender person, and I didn't gain any significant weight in my face, and honestly today, I'm the heaviest I've ever been, and my face isn't anywhere close to the puffiness I had then.
When I was puffy I read it's because it's the way of your body telling you "I need more water." So I started drinking more water every day and wat do you know - face looks normal when I wake up. 🤷♂😁 Doc's giving great advice, listen to him! 👌🙏
My cortisol levels have been extremely high due to the toxic environment I was living in for more than 5 yrs I also have chronic inflammation throughout the entire body that never shuts off I have gained so much weight due to mold it’s ridiculous I still have a hard time trying to lose weight even though I’m no longer in that environment this has caused aging I’m starting to look older because of the chronic stress my dr has ignored my symptoms for yrs and I can’t seem to get any help my face was so swollen and fat I look like a pin cushion also with my high stress levels led to a poor diet for yrs 🤦🏽♀️😩
Listen to doctors first. Taking medical advise from influencers is like taking car advise from a used car dealer: they're not there to help you, they're there to make a sale.
I was in a lot of stress at one point and when I look back on any photos of me from that time, I am alarmed at how round my face is. Everyone around me also realised the comparison. I didn't gain or lose weight. It was just my face bloating like crazy
It’s hilarious seeing the news, they’re just soooooo behind compared to social media. We’ve been discussing cortisol face for damn near a year on tik tok, this is so old this info lol news stations aren’t reliable for information anymore
Nope no treatment exists for this condition. Like the doctor said go back to regular life style. Something different must have changed in your life to cause this reaction to happen.
He said if you’re not getting enough sleep, it can be a contributing factor. If you’re drinking caffeine at night and it’s causing you not to sleep well, it can very well be.
I was amazed how many women were expressing desire and passion until i realized we're all older..its Good Morning America! We have more hormones than the younger generations - I kid you not.
I dramatically reduced my cortisol, and the high blood pressure that underpinned it, with the following steps: 1. Stop drinking alcohol. It's both a depressant and a neurotoxin. You don't need it to 'manage' everyday stress. It causes the very stress you are trying to manage! 2. Do some mild exercise in the morning. Walking to work instead of driving gets your heart going and exposes you to natural light, which has a direct bearing on the quality of your sleep. 3. Eat a plant rich diet. There is a well established link between your gut microbiome and your mood and the best way to feed the biome is to eat a lot of probiotics and prebiotics. This does *not* mean a lifetime of salads or veganism. I eat plenty of white meats, including oily fish which is essential for brain health, and the occasional steak. 4. Exercise at least three times a week with intensity. While your morning and afternoon walks will keep you moving, you need a strength and endurance regime to get fit. No exceptions. 5. Walk / clean / move for twenty minutes after every big meal. This improves digestion, nutrient absorbtion, and blood sugar regulation. It also kills your afternoon crash. Try it. 6. Reduce caffeine consumption. You cannot reach a state of deep sleep if you consume caffeine 12 hours before bed. Why? Because the body produces neuroadrenaline - a form of adrenaline that circulates in the brain - that prevents you from having non-REM sleep. Alcohol has a similar effect. Both destroy your deep sleep cycles and you need them for proper hormonal balance. The above steps have quite literally changed my life. I look better, feel better, and am better. No medications, no over-the-counter remedies, no supplements.
I love when doctors take pride in their role as educators. Some think it’s beneath them.
I doubt that very much They like to have hear themselves speak

The irony of the fact that the love to hear themselves talk but won’t educate you on what’s going on with your body 😂😂
I dont know about cortisol face, but your face is GORGEOUS🥰

He has a strong jaw and good facial proportions because of that. I agree
I was just gonna say something like that.😂
Thanks

Stop taking medical advice from influencers. Plain and simple.
Listening to medical commentary and from professionals is education.
@@maggie2sticks717 who says he’s an influencer? He’s a doctor with medical license. 🙄

It depends if the information is true or false.
His skin is FLAWLESS! ❤ I’ll take his beauty recommendations.
Baby that’s genetics you just know his grandparents were/are beautiful people
Zero puff on that face lol

Surname checks out.

That was a simple, accurate, and helpful answer! Thanks, Doc!
it was gaslighting, it's common knowledge people who take steroids for medical issues like inflammation and joint issues balloon out.
I had to listen twice to get it, the first time I was distracted admiring this smooth blk man😊❤❤❤
His skin is gorgeous
Maybe try admiring a smooth white man the dominant supreme race
He is cute, ain't he?
LOL, he is a good-looking dude, if he's not married, I bet he has to fight the ladies off. I'd like to be his wingman.
My name is Darien. Maybe I can become a doctor too! Shout out to this brotha!
you sure can!
I'll make sure to keep an eye on you Darien! Take care bud
He’s finnneeee! 😍😍😍😍
He is indeed, a very handsome young man. And a doctor! And most importantly, he cared enough to make this video. Triple threat!
Is he interested in a single mom? Not me, ofc 😂
Focus😂😂😂😂😢

In less than two minutes he said everything everyone should hear. Simple, yet effective. And he's a great communicator as well!
He don't gave cortisol face he has fine face 😂
He has a beautiful face.
Beaaaauuitiful
Sugary food and drinks can make our faces puffy too.
As a skinny person, I'm still waitin' for it. Anytime I get sick and my face puffs up people tell me how good it looks. 😂😭
I recall when I used to get high and eat a heap before bed I'd wake up with that "puffy face" look. Noticed it in some friends also.
Makes sense, my friend grew up in a highly stressful environment her face is round and fat. She always used to ask us why her face wouldn’t slim down when she would lose weight.
I think I'm the same. My face doesn't match the rest of me. I have C-PTSD
Omg same. So you're telling me that my severe childhood trauma and CPTSD is why I have a baby face?

And here I thought this was a new tiktok beauty trend of raising your cortisol to get a fuller face.lol

WOW he was fantastic!!!! To the point, I learned so much in a short amount of time.. thank you!

Found out I have Cushing after the inflammation and puffiness in my face was ignored by my providers for decades regardless of my requests.
That face card Doctor 😌 Never Declines 🫶🏼
Thanks so much Dr Sutton!! Good to know! You are so kind and sweet. ❤🙌🏾
Jawline informed me that he knows what he's talking about at all times.

Listen to that Doc.! I love the added tip on meditation. 😊
Corticosteroid moon face is a real thing. I have it due to needing prednisone often for asthma. It is awful.
Thanks doc 🍎
Damnn didnt know Ippi was a part time doctor too ong
I remember when we used to tell people to film stuff horizontally so we can actually use our entire screen.
I hate TikTok.
Dude said 🩺🗿
Thanks Travis!
Thanx for informing us.😊
I need a house call😂
Good job GMA for spreading medicla facts.

Imagine getting medical advice from beauty enthusiasts and content creators
If a content creator tells you the exact same information that doctors/studies etc have said, then how is it not valid?

Sir, if you would kindly drop that skincare routine in the chat because geyawwdamn that skin looks like polished onyx
Whay did he say? Let me watch it again 😅😅
Does caffeine impact cortisol levels enough to create cortisol face?
Hunnie, quit drinking coffee. if your body is giving you signs that it has reached toxicity levels. the message oughta be clear
