Dr. Doug Lisle: Anxiety and Panic Attacks, Webinar 09/08/16

Dr. Lisle talks about anxiety and panic attacks and how to deal with these conditions without taking medications.

[@arlee1954]

Great presentation!!! I've suffered from a severe panic disorder for roughly 40 years, and I found this very informative. Unfortunately, this video is over 5 years old, so you probably won't see this comment.

[@mowthpeece1]

Dr L's info has GOT to be the BEST I've EVER heard on how to deal with panic attacks. It's BRILLIANT! And so logical! As a first responder this is pure gold. It's going to help a lot of people. Thank you!

[@Letha222]

Great video. All my efforts to "calm down" during a panic attack have been largely unsuccessful and now I know why. Thanks.

[@tradeeagle]

Dr Lisle is the greatest !!!... Gustavo too !!!!

[@tranquil87]

Very interesting talk. I suffered from panic disorder for many years. When it first started in high school, I would have a dozen panic attacks a day. I was always pale as a ghost and sweating and couldn't focus in school as a result. I knew exactly why it was happening -- I was scared of being sick, and being embarrassed and mocked if i vomited-- and it led into a kind of cascading cycle. I eventually had to drop out of school, it was too much for my system to handle. Doug's explanation is similar to what I had come to conclude. Learning the biological mechanism helps, even if it doesn't prevent the attacks, you at least know that your life is not in danger, which can reduce its intensity. I got over them by way of healthier living and practicing detachment. I was too attached to how people would view me, which made me fear being attacked by the lion, so to speak. Nowadays I'm fine. I only fear getting them at the dentist during an important surgery, so I get a benzo just to make sure it goes smoothly. Luckily for me I feel pretty crappy on them and it's not addictive in the slightest as a result; I'm always looking forward to being back to normal. They do work though, I feel like I can't possibly panic when I use them.

Thank you for these webinars! They are always so helpful!

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

I think food can be a significant factor in stress and anxiety, since most animal foods are considered inflamatory, thus raising cortisol, thus alertness, like with cafeine. Also high (animal) fat foods will be more likely to result in extra usage of cafeine, to deal with the brain fog and lack of energy uptake from the cells. I've recently started using a water filter in a few weeks drinking unfiltered water might get me as anxious as drinking green tea now.

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

***** Yeah for most people having heart burn, cramps or constipation after a meal is just business as usual.

[@armandoarabi2825]

Thank you! I'm 54 and i have suffered from panic and anxiety since a little girl.

[@carbiegirl5899]

Oh my word!! I'm sending a link of this video to my daughter. I'm so angry that she was prescribed rivotril for panic attacks which has got her completely addicted for years. Thank you for this information, it's a life saver! !

[@2006mimi2007]

Used to be on that too. Info and therapy helped, but you should also try Rhodiola. Helped lower my constant state of high cortisol/adrenaline from having bad anxiety. When I first started taking it had the same neutralizing effects of benzo's without bad cognitive effects

[@carbiegirl5899]

Many thanks for the info.

[@dylancarter9260]

I've used Theanine Serene, too, with good results (has theanine, Gaba, Holy Basil)...

[@oceanz4]

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much!! I had a panic attack two days ago and again this morning. I will try this. God bless you!

[@Strumminmama]

Thank you! Thank you! I really can't wait to have another one so I can learn to STOP these attacks( I have them daily ). This makes so much sense! 💕

[@LorenzoBlue]

38:15 I'm deaddddddddd Dr.Lisle you're too hilarious when you laugh save meeeeee!! Btw amazing presentation, I'm just grateful to learn important things from you every time. It makes me happy. A sincere thank you !

[@zoeszozo]

Pre-ordered! Looks like a beautiful book. I can't wait to get it. Thank you Dr McDougall.

[@مفتخرواحبنفسي]

first I would like to thank you for these webinars, they are real helpful.I have suffered from panic attack from 2011 until now .During that time they had affected my life negatively. I couldn't study as usual, nor behaving as normal.I had visited religious men and psychiatrists and sycholoanalists. They diagnosed my symptoms according to the psychological analyst test and given me anti-depression and anxiety medicine but they didn't work as I had expected.

[@hayliegrayson2107]

Thank you Dr. Lisle for this great info!

[@hiddenbayes]

It's so sweet the way Dr. Doug talks about his mother in law lol

[@h0tie]

Bwhahahahahaa, infectious

[@sac1303]

Excellent! Many thanks to Dr McDougall and Dr D Lisle. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheAccessoryGirl]

This was so informative and helpful, thank you!

[@optimaldietcoach1705]

I just got the book Doug Lisle recommended, Anatomy of an Epidemic. It's very good so far and a real eye opener. Anyone who is taking drugs - or if they have loved ones who are taking them for psychological issues would be well served by reading it!

[@vanginmi]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I will do all that you suggest. I have just been 10 days off medication and feel like I have the tools to 'break it'.

[@1967hollyberry]

I have Dr. McDougall's new book pre-ordered. I can't wait!!!

[@veganadventure5282]

Man I would love to see John speak live

[@dylancarter9260]

Go to the McDougall program in Santa Rosa! Just got back from there...great experience. Doug Lisle and Jeff Novick and others all give lectures/presentations! :)

[@readytorockithard23]

exercise is critical to this condition....you need a healthy outlet to get out your emotions...that is exercise...and stay away from processed foods. Eat real food (plant or animal, yes I said animal), avoid processed foods, get enough rest, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, cut back or eliminate caffeine and other stimulants if your sensitive, AND MAKE SURE YOU DO SOME EXERCISE...THAT CAN'T BE STRESSED ENOUGH!

[@readytorockithard23]

Yes....you have to change the chemistry of your body. Nothing rewires your hormones quicker then intense exercise (i follow a bodybuilding routine and hit the gym 4-5 days a week with 20 minutues of cardio after my workouts), a healthey diet (get rid of the processed shit, if your on a budget, literallly eat nothing but sweet potatoes and water if you have too....herbal teas are great too) With the exercise and diet you will sleep like a baby...all your negative energy will be turned into working energy and you fill sleep like a child. Just my two cents though

[@bonniesouter3026]

16:27 is when Dr Doug Lisle joins the webinar and gives his presentation about panic attacks.

[@MrSuperbluesky]

Hope John publisher gets him a. NIce speaking tour

[@pamratcliffe1740]

1st time I've had this explained. Thank you. I've had 2 attacks and it was scary. I know how to break the freeze.

[@apricottorange]

I have a question for Dr. Lisle, He said that pannic attack is at the top, but how about anxiety so bad that you experience depersonalization or derealization? Can you ask him to explain why some people get more pannic attack and some more depersonalization? How about general anxiety?

[@naturallyfithealthy8514]

Could you talk about depression as well please? And also... Anxiety like symptoms with low blood sugar levels. Thank you! Always look forward to your webinars 😃

[@SolitaryReaper666]

his "gestalt" influenced his "Gustavo" - Dr. Lisle is a true psychologist :)

[@imaresurcher]

great info. I once had a panic attack while on a psychedelic research drug that lasted for several hours with stabbing pains in my heart and i was just lying in bed alone in the dark and didnt know what to do. it was the worst acute experience of my life. wish i knew how to break the freeze then

[@tt4570]

Great information!

[@laineybugger]

Very interesting idea about how to deal with panic attacks. Mine only happen while driving and I get stuck in traffic or see an accident. I can’t jog in place obviously when in my car. But I can try to break the freeze by working my muscles sitting in place.

[@zikenvamire7941]

This talk is top shelf...

[@h0tie]

Please do share this with one other person you know... if they did the same and it continues it shall become common knowledge!?

[@zikenvamire7941]

3 already

[@h0tie]

Ziken Vamire That's the stuff that changes the world 😅 Thanks a bunch

[@zikenvamire7941]

4 now actually

[@dariosergevna]

CAN YOU PLEASE SOMEWHERE TALK ABOUT GALL BLADDER PROBLEMS? IT'S SO IMPORTANT!

[@pbjrunr4468]

The freezing thing is true. I was running on a trail and came across a wild boar. I don't know about the sweating thing cause I was already sweating.

[@vc6601]

Gee Dr McDougall, you were so lucky to have the chocolate option. When I was a kid we had to drink a half pint full cream milk, no additives. And it was sometimes left in the sun for a bit in which case it was no longer chilled. It was disgusting - I hated it. I didn’t have the mindset to refuse to drink it and teachers watched over us to ensure we drank it. I had a (fat) friend who liked it so sometimes she’d drink some of mine for me. Or I’d try and pour it surreptitiously into the garden though I had to be careful as it didn’t disappear quickly. I don’t know what would’ve happened to me if I’d been caught; the strap perhaps. I never was. The school milk scheme was dumped a few years later.

[@souravsarkar7726]

being a person who suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for as long as I can remember, the best thing I ever did was take Dr Tim Noakes's advice and give up white starches and grains. I completely understand what Dr Mcdougal is saying but the situation is not as simple as that, white starches and white sugar for depression is like being on a cocaine drip. Depression and the anxiety go away because of over stimulation, ask anyone who suffers from 'anxiety related depression', the stimulants like coffee always calm them (and me) down. When these people start eating red meat or fish every day they get better and feel more natural. It is completely different than being in a constant state of stimulation, it feels much more "natural". I don't want to argue with the "starchivores" but for the love of god please don't subscribe to this "one diet fits all philosophy", everybody can't be eating the same way.

[@anselmmathieu7519]

Sourav Sarkar i cant argue with youre subjective experience, but i do believe that there's more or less one diet that fits it all, of course sensitivites etc. have to be adjustwd individually, but we still are one species. you wouldn't feed one cat meat and the other starch would you? we all have such a similiar genetic makeup that i find it highly unlikely that some of us afe designed to live on starch,and the others on protein and fat. have you tried eating mcdougall's way or have you eaten starch as well as fats and animal products?

[@Lonwolf.]

wow this really helped thanks

[@user-dy6xr5jn1m]

Thank you

[@Nina-hk7ub]

My friend gets them when driving on Freeware so she wont drive them. Says it's because she had a accident....How does she address this?

[@RRR-ck6zt]

but while driving... :( you cant just jump out of the car and do jumping jacks (and youre right about everythibg else tho)..but what about full blown attacks when driving?? thats a huge problem that cant just be cured with jogging

[@greensandbeansgaming1358]

Is the Naked Mole Rat your guys favorite animal?

[@airincronau7567]

I recently bought "The Starch Soltion" in German and was a little bit confused about the title... it is called "The High-Carb-Diet" in Germany, but I guess there would be way better ways to call it in German because Stärke (starch) also means strength ;) and also High Carb is not German either, so why even change the name ??

[@erdmaennchen82]

I was thinking the same. The title wasn't a good choice in my opinion. It sounds like it is just another diet trend (in the sense of common speech). It's the opposite of what it is about.

[@mangoauthority2897]

The privilege is to have the book translated anyway. To whatever they change the name hope they do not change the content. Some populations do not have it translated.

[@airincronau7567]

erdmaennchen82 exactly! ;)

[@airincronau7567]

Mango Authority You're right of course, but I was just afraid that the title might send the wrong message to those who don't know what the book is about. I honestly wouldn't have picked up a book with such a title if I had not known the English version before :D

[@jessedavis8753]

mines is blood pressure anaxity

[@lizzyinhawaii5713]

Jesse Davis mine as well. Recently had a bad scare with with my blood pressure at 230/163.I was taken by ambulance to the emergency room where I was told I was I was pretty much about to have a stroke.They put me on blood pressure meds and watch my diet but every since then I have been battling daily panic attacks.

[@lizzyinhawaii5713]

Jesse Davis just an update: I haven’t been having them since I have been on my blood pressure meds, severely changed my diet ,and learned a few key techniques.They have completely went away

How do I get off my bipolar meds?

[@2006mimi2007]

look for systemic hormone imbalances, amino acid transport function, food intolerances and poor diet, unresolved psychological issues.. would help to lower your dose, but you may truly benefit on being on them even at a low dose

[@bitfinesse]

You know what i think would be really cool? if everyone who eats potatoes and starch post under this comment your BMI and how many ounces/pounds of starch you eat per day. i’m hearing we can eat as much starch as we like? i like around 2500 calories of purple sweet potatoes at a time, especially the ones with white skin. God basically took a blueberry donut and stuck it in a biscuit. Nice move bro 👊🏼 i’ve over-eaten and gained weight on oats, then on grapes, haven’t tried on beans (too heavy), gained weight on dried fruit (duh). i have my calories pretty much dialed in now. i eat between 1450 and 1800 calories per day with 1650-1700 seeming like a real sweet spot. i can eat what i burn pretty well, i’ve learned to go real heavy on greens like collards, kale, broccoli and squash/eggplant (3lbs daily) to drive out the extra calories that i want to eat recreationally. i’m going along the day, eating perfectly then i find myself in front of some purple sweet potatoes. And i get the idea of overeating on them. i like the 1.5lb japanese sweet potato. i’m thinking overeating on ANYTHING shouldn’t be done. i’m here listening hoping to hear, “if you eat 500-1,000 calories more than you burn but you get them from potatoes, you may gain weight for a week or two but you can keep overeating and the weight will go away after a few months.” i want more sweet potatoes than i can burn. i’m being greedy, seeing if i can take more energy from the universe than i put out. What’s wrong with us? Am i just living with that wanting? i’m down for it : seems to be in the game. And if over eating is always a no-go, i’m just going to have to prepare beforehand for a day where i PLAN to eat 3,000 calories from sweet potatoes. Looking foreward to THAT heavy 😇 My guess is i’ll have to be in a caloric deficit for a few days to clear those extra calories. So. BMI? How much starch are you putting away? Pounds and ounces. Love you guys 😘

Does Dr. McDougall think GMO corn is safe?

[@SolitaryReaper666]

he said: "in medical literature there has never been a case of disease reversal due to switching from GMO to non-GMO corn" and that "GMO debate is a distraction from real problems"

[@veganadventure5282]

safe for what? america and the majority of his patients are not sick, fat and near death from eating too much GMO corn.

Been vegan for nearly 3 years but i was drunk and ate pizza last night didnt really care for it

[@sjr7822]

Like the technique for anxiety attacks. I find exercise good for many issues. However, the Mother-in-law jokes are outdated. Many children would not be raised in a home, if it weren't for the 'mother-in-laws' stepping in when the mother or father is irresponsible. Find a new target for your example, Doc, stick with the animal examples.

[@karensinclair1954]

I do not like Dr. Lisle. At times I get the overwhelming feeing to slap the crap out of him. AND I am a McDougaller....

[@Nina-hk7ub]

Wow! I think he's amazing.

[@levetleighhouse2629]

what nonsense!!!
