So complete and for me so timely, thank you for your fantastic work! Would you have a video that puts together how to deal with colon cancer? I understand keto + cortisol management (this one! 💓) + cruciferous vegetables + antioxidants -, what else?
@Dr. Sten Ekberg Do you have this video but with spanish subtitles? my mom doesn't know english and i wanted to show your video but i did click on CC but there is only arabic and english.
Root/core issue for me was an abusive x husband...lived in flight or fight mode for years...he was seriously slowly killing me and my adrenal fatigure and lack of cortisol production were my signs. I left -healed my body and becoming better and better every day. People don't talk about this enough when it comes to relationships - you must leave them in order to heal not only your mind but your body as well.
Stress causes you excess cortisol, not a lack of, just so you understand, cortisol in excess is stress, , I'm glad you broke free, and hope you do well now .

Thank you for this learning aid. It helps me learn how to relax after a lifetime of bottling up my stress 🤐. Evening out my blood glucose is my favorite.
Screaming helps too. I bike to de-compress and de-stress. I live near DC National Airport and one time I was too stressed out and for a moment I thought I was going to "lose it". I was riding on a bike path right along the airport, I stopped briefly and just screamed at the top of my lungs. Nobody can hear you because of the airplanes engines noise, so I just composed myself, I immediately felt better, and kept on a much happier bike ride. Good exercise screaming 😄
Dr Ekberg, You are the first person I've ever heard say that the Frontal Lobe turns off the Stress Response. I suffered a Brain Injury in 1994, now dealing with Anxiety and Panic ever since. And after 28 years I now have Adrenal Fatigue and Cushings.
Years ago my weight got out of control, and my blood sugar, when I worked overnights. I could not lose an ounce of weight back then. I’m sure it was cortisol, and not just insulin/ T2D. I am still working on decreasing stress, glad to have found these videos!!
I grew up with an alcoholic father codependent mom. It left me in a fearful state for many years. I didn't learn to turn off all negative triggers until type 2 diabetes! Thank you DR for the incredible information and delivery. You are giving me hope and encouragement ty❤❤🌠🙏
Brilliant! Brilliant! Since 1986, when my father died I had been training Malaysian executives on stress management. I retired in 2001 when my husband died. Man! do I know about grief as a stressor. Dr Eberg, you are the best ! Well done! You are so knowledgeable and communicate your ideas so well. I have been listening to you for the past week and truly you are the best.

💥 I'm turning blind by high cortisol level. CSR - Central Serous Retinopathy is a terrible disease caused by excessive cortisol and stress. My left eye is almost lost, and the right one has dark spots at the center. It's in a chronic state now for 16 years. And since last month, I'm on a descend spiral.

I absolutely agree with what you've said. Give yourself a liberty to avoid people who make you feel bad and the people who pull you down they are great stressors.
I keep my cortisol levels down by limiting my consumption of caffeine, sugar or alcohol to a minimum, And walking, hiking, meditation and rest. But I am human and succumb 🧐 to inflammatory foods sometimes. Thanks for your excellent presentations.
This is an under rated video that deserves alot of views and focus to anybody dealing with psychological issues as well. After an year of anxiety and another year of medication and still getting those bursts.. learning and practicing things that actually helped me. All of it is summed up here , I'm yet to try more of nutrients like magnesium, but exercise, focus on gut health, breathing (box, sudarshan kriya) if stress is like fire, all these are like water shower, though we think how are they gonna help with stress, they are not addressing the cause of stress ...but these are magical things that changes our view, or equips us to handle things with ease. I wish I had seen this video earlier.
A TRUE teacher here boys and girls. What a jewel of a person this Doctor is. The kind of person this messed up world needs right now.....Not the one we deserve, but definitely THE ONE WE NEED 🙏🙏
These video presentations are rich in content. The delivery is calm without putting me to sleep. The information is concise & to the point which provides a comprehensive understanding, making it more likely to retain the info. Last but not least, no annoying commercial interruptions!! 🙏
Topic: As an Olympic Decathlete and Holistic Doctor, you would know about, and have personal experience, this. Strength building in conjunction with a ketogenic nutritional program. My personal interest in this is diagnoses of MS and Type 2 Diabetes. I've lowered A1C from 12.9 to 6.4 in 10 weeks, gone from 250 to 185 lbs in 5 months (since March) and feel like I can start to exercise now (and have started 30-minute, overall body, resistance band workout) to overcome muscle atrophy in right leg, neuropathy in feet, overall weakness, etc. Seeing many positive results already
Wayne Rogers for muscle atrophy, joints...check into acupressure. I had neurologists, all kinds of specialists making money on tests or whatsoever attest that I am close to a paraplegic and there is no need to test again. Accidentally in Singapore I ran into a reflexologist who after an hour rubbing at one same location in between toes, I walked out with no pain for the rest of my life. I didn't know Keto then and many acupressure practitioners are vegetarians eating one meal a day. I vowed never go back to those specialists, only listen to Dr Eikberg, my favorite and practice acupressure daily besides the list of things shown on this video. Life is perfect and I'm grateful. Check out the temples. The monks are not there to make money. You have to see their practice to believe. Know that they can show you how to cure because they believe if anything comes back within 6 months then they did not cure anything. Trust me, you will be cured.
I went to a lavender festival in cherry valley ca...this festival was located within close proximity to acres of lavender fields...just the continuous scent of lavender was enough to keep me calm and so contented through the day.

I've been doing this intermittent fasting this quarantine. But these trying times are also stressful, that's why I wake up in the middle of the night. Thanks for explaining and for your tips, Doc!
Solution Nr.10 -reading can easily be done with your wonderful educational videos. You have already changed my life and I`m very very grateful to you for that. Thank you ! 👍👍👍😊

Thank you so much for this. I've been searching so long for some in-depth answers to the cortisol problem. I've been doing a strict keto diet and monitoring of my calories, macros, and weight and have been frustrated to have stalls in progress after I've had a highly stressful week. The only metric that had changed was the stress level.
Good morning Dr. Ekberg, I just want to say thank you for teaching these things, I learned a lot especially on topics of IF, healthy eating, and weight loss. I myself already loss 6.5 kg since i started IF 3-4 weeks ago 😊💕. My BMI was 30.7 last Aug.10, 2021 and now its down to 28.6 Oct.4, 2021… I hope I can reach the healthy level….🙏😊 Please continue doing this, you are helping many people…. sincerely, Charlie from Philippines 🇵🇭 😊💕
This video has explained much for me at 66 carrying weight but also shows me how to assist my heart out of not one but two episodes of takosubo syndrome which has had me on beta blockers which have slowed down my energy levels. Have just taken myself off the beta blockers. Introduced small yoga stretches every 2nd day. Thank you.
Before: MAYBE I'll watch this one. During: He's got me taking notes again. 😁 But seriously, Doctor, thank you for such beneficial information and for the organized way you present it to us, which seems to even be perfect for my ADHD brain. 🥰
Heard much about negative effects of cortisol but never had such a complete guide on this important subject that affects health. Not long i tumbled on your videos and find your presentations VERY fulfilling indeed. Maybe because of your teaching method that I personally admire as a teacher myself. Thanks doc and keep it up
My husband has a high stress job and gets very little sleep. He had two major episodes that really scared him so we got bloodwork done. It showed his A1c was 5.8. He immediately went off of sugars and carbs not coming from vegetables and started working on sleeping and breathing. It has been 3 weeks and he still gets shaky when his blood sugar drops. Thank you for all of this information. We are hopeful that things will improve soon.
@@scottp6761 plzzz help me doc, i am having 3 times a day blood sugar drop cause of stress Plzzzz say how can i cure this I am scread 🙂🙂 Plzzzzz help me
Dr. Ekberg I am a vegetarian for 14 years plus vegan for 4 years but with this video you inspired me to buy nutritional yeast and make a vegan chease sauce, I am so grateful
Hello, i just have discovered your videos a few days ago, and i already watched several of them. I love the way you explain concepts, so calm, clear, very easy to understand. Best Regards from the caribbean 🇩🇴🌴☀️
Thanks Dr.! This was so helpful. I'm 26 and I'm recovering from hormonal/metabolic dysfunction from 7 years of undereating/overexcising and poor stress management. I'm learning so much on this journey. I thought I was doing everything right by eating SUPER "clean" and eliminating carbs and red meats and fats and working out vigorously 5x or more a week. I'm learning now that less is more
I picked up weight after my son was senselessly murdered. I just beat cancer (caused by stress) and I’m still gaining weight. I watch what I eat, I’ve been drinking water, walking, went to the doctor and gained 3 pounds, which is adding to more stress and depression. I don’t know how to let go. We didn’t even get efficient justice. I internalized it. I’ve been to counseling…This is horrible! I’m super petite. I’ve never been this big in my life
Saying this after months spent watching multiple channels and videos relating to health and nutrition: Dr. Sten Ekberg is more trust worthy than many popular speakers out there (don't want to name names). I have yet to find a biased or false statement, which I would find in others'. No doctor is perfect, but I find Dr. Ekberg creates very thorough, reliable content.
The first half of your talk is super scientific - which is challenging, but necessary:) The second half totally rocks my world! It’s so full of perfect advice and suggestions! Thank you once again Dr./Sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
Vilken underbar video! Folk har aldrig fattat varför jag inte vill ta del av hög intensiva träningspass utan insisterar på att simma och gå långa promenader i naturen istället. Detta förklarar det perfekt.
Best info I've got so far about cortisol and solutions to reduce it. I'm struggling with insomnia and get really anxious during the day and night to sleep. It would be great to have a video about insomnia. Thanks a lot for the tips though.
Try putting 2-3 drops of 100% lavender essential oil (with no fillers) on about two tissues and stuff them in your pillowcase. You will be amazed at how much it relaxes your mind, before you know it you’ll be off to lala land.
Thank you very much! I recently found out I have adrenal hyperplasia and always felt something was not quite right. You have a nice, clear, soothing voice and presentation. I will try your suggestions. Frank
I have only recently found your videos but it has changed my life. I really like knowing the facts and figures and reasons behind things. I have two severe autoimmune illnesses and I am post menopause and even so applying the things you shared I am healthier and my weight has dropped substantially. One thing I do in addition is drink a gallon of water a day. I would love it if you would do a video on the importance of water.
Speechless! So much truth and meaning in this video Dr Ekberg. So many things which we have forgotten. It's funny how a breathing exercise I learnt in 2003 actually mentioned breathing out and holding the breath as activating the para sympathetic nervous system. And I'd been skimping on it in the past number of years. At that time I didn't know about Cortisol, GH and weight-loss. I'd been doing Keto for a long time with not much result and then in the past year or so got lazy and gained back the weight. Now have again started again. It's most definitely been the cortisol. Since I got married and shifted home my sleep wake cycles changed cz of my husband. Now I need to go back to my old ways of sleeping at least by 11. He's such a night bird but it will need to be done for me by me. I have tests scheduled for Cortisol etc. Hope to surprise my doctor with good results. Funny how a small change can change everything. Thank you Dr Sten... Will follow and make things right again 🤗🤗
@@drekberg Thank you sir, for immediately making the change that I've suggested; you'll notice that I've deleted that comment since it has been changed. You're a real gem! Thank you again and God bless 🙏🙏🙏
This was the first time I was able to focus on an informational video of this length and I was able to stay with you without wandering off in my mind. May this course find all those who need it.
This presentation is a master piece of Dr Ekberg .so clear and perfect solutions explained for controlling and preventing and reducing adrenal stress ..simply Superb ..Thank u sir lots of regards from India.
WOW, that was the MOST complete, informative and comprehensive video I've seen on stress and stressreduction - EVER - and I have seen A LOT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH😄😄😄😄
Every morning I watch your videos and I trust you 100% the way you break things down and explain everything really do appreciate. Doing for the right reason not try to sell anything with a very calming voice which makes me so relaxed you are one of the kind human being who care for people, you should teach new generation college.
this is pure gold! I've known for years that my cortisol is too high and is causing my hypertension. But when I asked my doctors for years what to do to drop cortisol I'm told nothing about diet, only reduce stress through meditation. So grateful for this video and the one about sugar because now I have tools to plan healing and get off BP meds.
Can you pls address if stress/anger increases your risk of cancer? Also, how do hormones affect mental dx (ie. depression, bipolar disorder, etc.)? Thank you so much for your detailed explanations ❤️
What a great video. Helps me a lot to understand what went wrong with my body over decades and what to do about it. One thing that I'd realy like to understand better and therefore wishing for a separate video, is how to revert gastroparesis, potentially originating from insulin resistance and cortisol.
I love all the videos in this channel. Dr. Sten, you speak like a teacher, factual critical argument like a scientist and that is why you're a good doctor. I love it whenever you say "body is not stupid" (make big sense to me) in other video 😂😂😂 And I don't understand why other youtuber speak too fast. It increase my cortisol hormone 😇
Thank you for this video. I know my life has allot of stress in it. i am totally blind and pretty much operating in the world alone. I have emotional issues from childhood that i deal with along witPTSD and Depression and anxiety. So these tips help me so much to create a new lifestyle for myself. I would be interested in hearing more about the whole Adrenal massage techniques as well as the nutrients, herbs and minerals that could help calm me down. how to take them, how much do i use, etc; would be helpful. Also more info on the flower remedies would be great as well. thank you for all your work through these videos.
Never before have I come across a video that SO APPLIES TO ME iro stress. Phenomenal ! Lots to think about and look at in a more focused way. I wish I had this in text or book form which world give me ready access to parts I need to go back to. Brilliant Dr Sten. THANK YOU ! I will come back and back and back to this video - perhaps even write it all out by hand.
You are such an amazing teacher. I have been telling everyone I know about your videos/channel since I found you on RUclips last year. Some functional providers simply appear to be providing unsupported and potentially dangerous medical advice and/or clearly have a “quiet” self serving agenda. Your videos are backed by science and address the body AND mind as a whole…with no agenda but helping people. 😊 I, personally, appreciate you. 🙏🏻
This might be one of the best videos I've watched that could help so many people in their lives. I love all of the other ones too, as they apply to me and my situation. However this video would surely help everybody find the essential balance in their life that is so important. Thank you once again Dr Ekberg for your unique and efficient manner of explaining things.
Hi! This is the first video I have watched by you. I have subscribed! I have all of the symptoms.of staying in fight or flight. I believe it stems from childhood trauma. The doctors that I’ve seen have only treated the symptoms for many years. I have mentioned adrenal fatigue and too much cortisol and they don’t even address it! I've been getting worse and worse over the years and finally found you and others who I'm learning from and can start to heal myself. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge you learned. Also congrats on all of your medals and athletic and Olympic career! So impressive!
For me is lovely walk under the table mountain and have a healthy breath 5 seconds brain stimulation finding the deep peace something to do all my life and grow myself.
I love the way you explain EVERYTHING….after listening to YOU speak … I understand…ty so much for sharing everything with us&&& I LOVE ❤️ YOUR VOICE…it’s so calming!!!😊😊😊

12:13 Stabilizing blood sugar, Chromium Picolinate with B-6, and minerals worked wonders for me.
Test for b6 before supplementing. Mine goes from too high to too low
Best to supplement with magnesium malate and chromium polynicotinate along with meals to stabilize blood sugar...
Berberine may be helpful. Apparently it stimulates AMP in the cell which helps glucose metabolism in the cells.
How,,,
What minerals
I absolutely agree with what you've said. Give yourself a liberty to avoid people who make you feel bad and the people who pull you down they are great stressors.

Me too, fantastic man , really , I like his video and voice so much
no one is english from birth xd. people become english when they eat fish and fries
This is an under rated video that deserves alot of views and focus to anybody dealing with psychological issues as well. After an year of anxiety and another year of medication and still getting those bursts.. learning and practicing things that actually helped me. All of it is summed up here , I'm yet to try more of nutrients like magnesium, but exercise, focus on gut health, breathing (box, sudarshan kriya) if stress is like fire, all these are like water shower, though we think how are they gonna help with stress, they are not addressing the cause of stress ...but these are magical things that changes our view, or equips us to handle things with ease. I wish I had seen this video earlier.
A TRUE teacher here boys and girls.
What a jewel of a person this Doctor is.
The kind of person this messed up world needs right now.....Not the one we deserve, but definitely THE ONE WE NEED 🙏🙏
❤ agree
BP 105/69 just now. On healthy keto for over a year, BP has slowly gone down down down. No pills.
I listen to this channel every day! The only drawback is it ruined majority of other channels being superior on so many ways 👍
Excellent video. I've read a book on cortisol, oxytocin, serotonin, adrenaline and endorphins. This just cements what I've read.
Thanks 👍🏿
I think you are a very kind person to give us all this valuable information, thank you.from the bottom of my heart.
Agree
i smile every morning because being able to wake up is something to celebrate..
Me too
You’re an amazing adviser, lecturer & absolutely perfect for me. You’re voice is so calming. God bless u always Doc.
Dr. Sten, my doctor advised me to take fish oil after my total hysterectomy. What kind of fish oil is best? Of good quality. Thank u.
Finally, I now understand why I can’t sleep or stay still or focussed when fasting . Thanks
The very best online summary on what for me has been a life-long issue: informed and articulate. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
I break my OMAD fast daily by watching any of your videos, best Brain Stimulus ever!
These video presentations are
rich in content. The delivery is calm without putting me to sleep. The information is concise & to the point which provides a comprehensive understanding, making it more likely to retain the info. Last but not least, no annoying commercial interruptions!! 🙏
we get enough of these comments
This video could be titled "How to live your life". Outstanding as always, Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
I agree with you. Thanks for sharing that.
Topic: As an Olympic Decathlete and Holistic Doctor, you would know about, and have personal experience, this. Strength building in conjunction with a ketogenic nutritional program.
My personal interest in this is diagnoses of MS and Type 2 Diabetes. I've lowered A1C from 12.9 to 6.4 in 10 weeks, gone from 250 to 185 lbs in 5 months (since March) and feel like I can start to exercise now (and have started 30-minute, overall body, resistance band workout) to overcome muscle atrophy in right leg, neuropathy in feet, overall weakness, etc. Seeing many positive results already
Good job!!!
Inspiring!
Wayne Rogers for muscle atrophy, joints...check into acupressure. I had neurologists, all kinds of specialists making money on tests or whatsoever attest that I am close to a paraplegic and there is no need to test again. Accidentally in Singapore I ran into a reflexologist who after an hour rubbing at one same location in between toes, I walked out with no pain for the rest of my life. I didn't know Keto then and many acupressure practitioners are vegetarians eating one meal a day. I vowed never go back to those specialists, only listen to Dr Eikberg, my favorite and practice acupressure daily besides the list of things shown on this video. Life is perfect and I'm grateful. Check out the temples. The monks are not there to make money. You have to see their practice to believe. Know that they can show you how to cure because they believe if anything comes back within 6 months then they did not cure anything. Trust me, you will be cured.
Great job, Wayne. I am dealing with many of the same issues.
What is it this crazy habit of not eating carbs ? Carbs are not the problem.
If you want you can start the video at 11:45 (for those very stressed).
I went to a lavender festival in cherry valley ca...this festival was located within close proximity to acres of lavender fields...just the continuous scent of lavender was enough to keep me calm and so contented through the day.
Wow, sounds amazing.
Crying releases cortisol and tension too!
I'm very gentle and sensitive person who cannot cry 😪

I've been doing this intermittent fasting this quarantine. But these trying times are also stressful, that's why I wake up in the middle of the night. Thanks for explaining and for your tips, Doc!
Absolutely the best vid on adrenal fatigue I've ever seen. Thanks doc, you rock!
Adrenal fatigue is when your adrenals can't produce more cortisol. It's different. 👍
I wish they could teach like you in med school. Very simplified without the useless information overload. Nice job Dr. Ekberg!🙏
Useless talk about not knowing. Med schools confuse busyness with knowledge & accomplishment.

Hi Doctor, I watch your videos daily. Learning a lot and have already reduced 5kg from IF, HIIT + OMAD in 2mths. Thank u for your teachings.
Thank you so much for this. I've been searching so long for some in-depth answers to the cortisol problem. I've been doing a strict keto diet and monitoring of my calories, macros, and weight and have been frustrated to have stalls in progress after I've had a highly stressful week. The only metric that had changed was the stress level.
Good morning Dr. Ekberg, I just want to say thank you for teaching these things, I learned a lot especially on topics of IF, healthy eating, and weight loss. I myself already loss 6.5 kg since i started IF 3-4 weeks ago 😊💕. My BMI was 30.7 last Aug.10, 2021 and now its down to 28.6 Oct.4, 2021… I hope I can reach the healthy level….🙏😊 Please continue doing this, you are helping many people…. sincerely, Charlie from Philippines 🇵🇭 😊💕
This video has explained much for me at 66 carrying weight but also shows me how to assist my heart out of not one but two episodes of takosubo syndrome which has had me on beta blockers which have slowed down my energy levels. Have just taken myself off the beta blockers. Introduced small yoga stretches every 2nd day. Thank you.
Before: MAYBE I'll watch this one.
During: He's got me taking notes again. 😁
But seriously, Doctor, thank you for such beneficial information and for the organized way you present it to us, which seems to even be perfect for my ADHD brain. 🥰
He does that to me, too 🤣 I feel like I'm back at University
@@carleegger5322 right??
Me too. What a fantastic resource and teacher Dr. Ekberg is. God bless him.
@Dave YES yes yes me too 😊
Heard much about negative effects of cortisol but never had such a complete guide on this important subject that affects health. Not long i tumbled on your videos and find your presentations VERY fulfilling indeed. Maybe because of your teaching method that I personally admire as a teacher myself. Thanks doc and keep it up
My husband has a high stress job and gets very little sleep. He had two major episodes that really scared him so we got bloodwork done. It showed his A1c was 5.8. He immediately went off of sugars and carbs not coming from vegetables and started working on sleeping and breathing. It has been 3 weeks and he still gets shaky when his blood sugar drops. Thank you for all of this information. We are hopeful that things will improve soon.
Have some saltines on hand for him. Im the same way.
He could try DIM 100mg. It helps cortisol and high estrogen.

Quintessential advice for holistic health. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
Dr. Ekberg I am a vegetarian for 14 years plus vegan for 4 years but with this video you inspired me to buy nutritional yeast and make a vegan chease sauce, I am so grateful
Hello, i just have discovered your videos a few days ago, and i already watched several of them. I love the way you explain concepts, so calm, clear, very easy to understand. Best Regards from the caribbean 🇩🇴🌴☀️
Thanks Dr.! This was so helpful. I'm 26 and I'm recovering from hormonal/metabolic dysfunction from 7 years of undereating/overexcising and poor stress management. I'm learning so much on this journey. I thought I was doing everything right by eating SUPER "clean" and eliminating carbs and red meats and fats and working out vigorously 5x or more a week. I'm learning now that less is more
I picked up weight after my son was senselessly murdered. I just beat cancer (caused by stress) and I’m still gaining weight. I watch what I eat, I’ve been drinking water, walking, went to the doctor and gained 3 pounds, which is adding to more stress and depression. I don’t know how to let go. We didn’t even get efficient justice. I internalized it. I’ve been to counseling…This is horrible! I’m super petite. I’ve never been this big in my life
Please take the time out to heal your self. You may find you are punishing yourself x
My heart goes out to you, I hope you are in a better place nowadays
Take care ❤.
Condolences for the loss
Love and light❤💫
Saying this after months spent watching multiple channels and videos relating to health and nutrition: Dr. Sten Ekberg is more trust worthy than many popular speakers out there (don't want to name names). I have yet to find a biased or false statement, which I would find in others'. No doctor is perfect, but I find Dr. Ekberg creates very thorough, reliable content.
You don't want to name names because you can't remember their names,,,
@@lightbeingpontifex You are living in your own tiny world with a tiny little mind.
The first half of your talk is super scientific - which is challenging, but necessary:) The second half totally rocks my world! It’s so full of perfect advice and suggestions! Thank you once again Dr./Sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
Vilken underbar video! Folk har aldrig fattat varför jag inte vill ta del av hög intensiva träningspass utan insisterar på att simma och gå långa promenader i naturen istället. Detta förklarar det perfekt.
The best stress reduction program, and watching Dr. Ekberg is so calming.
Best info I've got so far about cortisol and solutions to reduce it. I'm struggling with insomnia and get really anxious during the day and night to sleep. It would be great to have a video about insomnia. Thanks a lot for the tips though.
Try putting 2-3 drops of 100% lavender essential oil (with no fillers) on about two tissues and stuff them in your pillowcase. You will be amazed at how much it relaxes your mind, before you know it you’ll be off to lala land.
Magnesium lysinate!
Thank you very much! I recently found out I have adrenal hyperplasia and always felt something was not quite right. You have a nice, clear, soothing
voice and presentation. I will try your suggestions. Frank
I have only recently found your videos but it has changed my life. I really like knowing the facts and figures and reasons behind things. I have two severe autoimmune illnesses and I am post menopause and even so applying the things you shared I am healthier and my weight has dropped substantially. One thing I do in addition is drink a gallon of water a day. I would love it if you would do a video on the importance of water.
Vielen Dank, Dr. Sten immer wieder eine Freude ihren Vortrag anzuhören. Sie sind Leuchtfeuer menschlicher Vernunft.

It looks like a few saw your post and said, "Hold my beer!" There's always a few.
Stress is just another word for fear. And fear is almost always a response to an exaggerated threat.

Speechless! So much truth and meaning in this video Dr Ekberg. So many things which we have forgotten. It's funny how a breathing exercise I learnt in 2003 actually mentioned breathing out and holding the breath as activating the para sympathetic nervous system. And I'd been skimping on it in the past number of years. At that time I didn't know about Cortisol, GH and weight-loss. I'd been doing Keto for a long time with not much result and then in the past year or so got lazy and gained back the weight. Now have again started again. It's most definitely been the cortisol. Since I got married and shifted home my sleep wake cycles changed cz of my husband. Now I need to go back to my old ways of sleeping at least by 11. He's such a night bird but it will need to be done for me by me. I have tests scheduled for Cortisol etc. Hope to surprise my doctor with good results. Funny how a small change can change everything. Thank you Dr Sten... Will follow and make things right again 🤗🤗
As usual a wonderful video; thank you Dr. Ekberg for educating us worldwide! May God bless you forever!

Sun/light exposure, calming music, human touch, warmth could be added to the list
Thank you for this. I've been grieving for several years, and this is helpful.
So have I hun. Many years. Time for us to move past it. Big (hug)
WOW, that was the MOST complete, informative and comprehensive video I've seen on stress and stressreduction - EVER - and I have seen A LOT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH😄😄😄😄
Needed this when I was in the military. Thanks for this great presentation!!!!!
Every morning I watch your videos and I trust you 100% the way you break things down and explain everything really do appreciate. Doing for the right reason not try to sell anything with a very calming voice which makes me so relaxed you are one of the kind human being who care for people, you should teach new generation college.
this is pure gold! I've known for years that my cortisol is too high and is causing my hypertension. But when I asked my doctors for years what to do to drop cortisol I'm told nothing about diet, only reduce stress through meditation. So grateful for this video and the one about sugar because now I have tools to plan healing and get off BP meds.
( tried ashwaganda and after a week I got very, very tired and got arthritic pains never had ever before, had to stop). Love thankful Christ-prayers.
Can you pls address if stress/anger increases your risk of cancer? Also, how do hormones affect mental dx (ie. depression, bipolar disorder, etc.)?
Thank you so much for your detailed explanations ❤️
What a great video. Helps me a lot to understand what went wrong with my body over decades and what to do about it. One thing that I'd realy like to understand better and therefore wishing for a separate video, is how to revert gastroparesis, potentially originating from insulin resistance and cortisol.
Whenever I do the Hitt excercises my body feels very relaxed..
I totally understand you. I like having better direction and am happy to be more organized.
I love all the videos in this channel. Dr. Sten, you speak like a teacher, factual critical argument like a scientist and that is why you're a good doctor. I love it whenever you say "body is not stupid" (make big sense to me) in other video 😂😂😂
And I don't understand why other youtuber speak too fast. It increase my cortisol hormone 😇
This is not just Health advice. This is key wellness at his best. Thanks very much.
Thank you for this video. I know my life has allot of stress in it. i am totally blind and pretty much operating in the world alone. I have emotional issues from childhood that i deal with along witPTSD and Depression and anxiety. So these tips help me so much to create a new lifestyle for myself.
I would be interested in hearing more about the whole Adrenal massage techniques as well as the nutrients, herbs and minerals that could help calm me down. how to take them, how much do i use, etc; would be helpful. Also more info on the flower remedies would be great as well. thank you for all your work through these videos.
Praying for u hon. 🙏🙏🙏
Never before have I come across a video that SO APPLIES TO ME iro stress.
Phenomenal !
Lots to think about and look at in a more focused way.
I wish I had this in text or book form which world give me ready access to parts I need to go back to.
Brilliant Dr Sten.
THANK YOU !
I will come back and back and back to this video - perhaps even write it all out by hand.
This has been a tremendous help, very concise and to the point. Thank you!
You are such an amazing teacher. I have been telling everyone I know about your videos/channel since I found you on RUclips last year. Some functional providers simply appear to be providing unsupported and potentially dangerous medical advice and/or clearly have a “quiet” self serving agenda. Your videos are backed by science and address the body AND mind as a whole…with no agenda but helping people. 😊 I, personally, appreciate you. 🙏🏻
…and yes, I DO realize you make money off of advertisements and/or sponsors…you honestly deserve every penny.
This might be one of the best videos I've watched that could help so many people in their lives. I love all of the other ones too, as they apply to me and my situation. However this video would surely help everybody find the essential balance in their life that is so important. Thank you once again Dr Ekberg for your unique and efficient manner of explaining things.
Hi! This is the first video I have watched by you. I have subscribed! I have all of the symptoms.of staying in fight or flight. I believe it stems from childhood trauma. The doctors that I’ve seen have only treated the symptoms for many years. I have mentioned adrenal fatigue and too much cortisol and they don’t even address it! I've been getting worse and worse over the years and finally found you and others who I'm learning from and can start to heal myself. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge you learned. Also congrats on all of your medals and athletic and Olympic career! So impressive!
