Even if I hide out at home, crazy stress inducing circumstances seem to always find me. Last weekend, neighbor downstairs locked their dog in a bathroom for days and it literally barked, cried, whined for 24 hours straight. Two days ago, AC went out, and was 83 inside my place for 24 hours. A couple months ago, I came home at 3am to find a strangers dog inside my home, with a closed front gate and closed door, so a stranger opened my door to let this dog into my home (I was of course majorly frightened thinking there may also be a stranger in my home as well to go along with the dog). A few months ago, a crazy neighbor lit her 30 foot high tree on fire just 25 feet from my door, and was yelling like a crazy person for 2 hours outside prior to lighting the tree on fire, and I had to call 911. I don't even live in "bad" neighborhoods, just nothing fancy. But I literally can't avoid weird super stressful things even when I hide out at home.

I am an internal medicine doctor going through chronic stress. I started watching Dr Berg’s videos for weight loss and I am amazed by discovering much more than this and I believe this will be really life changing for me.

[@stefaniehowell9257]

I can't tell you how many problems my youth has given me! Now, I am more conservative than I was then and I feel less stressed. My motto this year is to live in joy by filling my world with good things.

[@SavikalpaSciences]

Keep living by that motto - it’s a great path to lasting contentment and mental peace!

[@carriebarberlpn6283]

This makes so much sense to me looking back at highly stressful situations in my past. I'm going to work at adding exercise, green tea and shifting my perspective now. Thank you Dr. Berg! I started watching you last week, started OMAD 3 days ago and already lost 6 lbs and even my face looks better already!!

Listening to Dr Berg talking about all the things stress does to the body is stressing me out!

[@gutmicrobiomequeen]

😍 This is my new fav Dr. Berg video! Usually you hear this as a convo to "reduce stressors," which often feels impossible and leaves you feeling stuck and frustrated. This perspective shift is SO hugely helpful! Simple, yet profound. Thank you Dr. B!

Great video, for decades I’ve been using exercise to fight stress and it definitely works ! As an added bonus it keeps my waist at 32 inches.

My home environment has made me very sick from mold. Plus I have 12 fillings in my mouth. I have histamine intolerance and the past 4 months I have had horrible adrenaline rushes esp after eating. Woke up wired and watched one of your videos which explained my muscle tightness and cramping from the adrenaline. Felt relaxed for the first time in months. Got up and ate and bam. Now I am wired again and itchy. Had chicken peas and ghee. These rushes started when I tried to go low carb but I had cortisol,thyroid histamine issues before that. Menopause made all my symptoms worse. These rushes deplete me of electrolytes, and energy and I feel weak and dizzy.

You are a born leader and gifted educator. I'm sure you're patients adored you when you were in private practice. Thank you for moving your practice to a larger audience.

I never get enough and everything you say never gets old. I actively dropping stress as I’m watching. I’m meditating while watching. Breathing in and out. I’m actually on vacation and I ruined my trip with stress and worry about everything suddenly because I’m suppose to relax. Also not in my surroundings and it’s getting best of me.

[@esotericonetwork]

😂hope you are much More relaxed now

One thing that really helps me with stress it’s just learning how to sometimes stop, stop giving a f***, and let go of whatever I’m stressing about. Everything will be okay! Have hope and faith!

The world is changing to better understanding of health thanks to teachers like DR Berg. Should be taught in every grade school.

I shared this on Facebook. I find the workers shortage is making our jobs more intense and stressful and managers want us to keep up or get out.

[@annmariewrubel4564]

Agree! Management doesn't pitch just sit in offices while we do the work, more work with less people. I still take breaks to keep my sanity and physical health as well. We need to take care of ourselves, nobody else will!

[@DaveCooksBiz]

Hi Doc! I've been watching (and learning from) you for years! One of the best pieces of advice you gave, which I share with everyone, is your advice on lowering cortisol. Long story short, I was suffering from irrational stress. I would worry about stupid things like volcanos erupting or meteors falling from the sky. The most tangible fear was a new fear of driving on the highway. I've driven literally millions of miles in my career in agriculture as well as an active reservist (USAF) commuting hours one-way several times a week. My "irrational worry and stress" manifested itself at highway speeds in my little Saturn View. I worried that I would slip off the road and crash. AMAZING! I watched one of your videos back in 2017 or 18, where you suggested vitamin C as a cortisol reducer. I bought the most organic and high-end C I could find. I took 1,000 mg for a few days and drove from Tucson to Sadona - terrified the whole time that I was about to spin out and crash our car. So on a whim, I bumped the dosage up to 3,000mg and what happened next was the on of the most profound experiences in my life. While driving on the highway, just south of Flagstaff, the worry, fear, dread, and stress just lifted. I relaxed in my seat and took one hand off the wheel, on a slight left turn at 70MPH. Incredible! It worked and I've wanted to thank you since. I share this with anyone who will listen and I tell them my KZbin Doctor cured my worry and dread with vitamin C!! p.s. I don't buy the expensive stuff anymore, Kirkland's is fine and I don't have to take it (3gr) every day either... but I can tell when I need to, and when I do, the stress is relieved and the dread subsides. Thank you!

[@siobhancleary3018]

How long did you take vit C and how

[@DaveCooksBiz]

@@peaceandlove544 I felt the effects of the megadose in about 2 hours. I took 3 to 6 grams a day for a few months. I drank a lot of water (a gallon per day). Now I take 3 grams when needed.

[@lindasue8719]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. It made me chuckle (in kinship!) about the vehicle going off the road. I totally relate! ☺️I don't like high speeds or bridges, and I'm always feeling that somehow my car is just going to...I dunno... defy the laws of physics LOL. Thanks to Dr. Berg and his video on vitamin B1, for me that has been a life-changer! When I can feel myself getting stressed or wound-up, I pop one of those and next thing I know I'm back to normal, it happens so fast!!

[@madlenj.4644]

@@DaveCooksBiz i got my results from my hormonetest today and tada, my cortisol is higher than the highest allowed normal value. Even though it was measured at a day when nothing had happened to stress me out. I have cravings, i feel depressed, stressd and irritable.I´ve withdrawn from family, from friends from everybody..all of them stressed me out. Sure, there are stressors in my life from which i can´t ru away. I also do go out a lot in nature ad take long walks with my dog. But if something bad happens somtimes i can´t find the energy to go out. Also my TSH is higher than it should be (may be hypothyroidism). My calcium is also low, maybe because cortisol took away the glucose from the muscle and therefore the joints needed to carry more weight which meant that they needed more calcium to try to prevent from rub off. And all you did to lower the cortisol was taking Vit c? Really this helps that much? How much would i have to take? My cortisol is at 226 and the maximum if i remember right is at 195. So its higher, and it was measure at a day when nothing had happened. 121,25 pound. Taking even 1000mg is a lot for the stomach 🙂

what about for people whos introverted

[@reesedaniel5835]

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7 Satan needs us to be in fear because it gives him control. The media belongs to Satan who is the "prince of the power of the AIR WAVES"....Ephesians 2:2

[@carolineharrold4460]

Thank you so much for this video Dr Berg! This explains such a lot for me. I have lived with chronic illness for nearly 15 years now and have also had family stress piled onto me on top of that. I know my Diabetes Type 2, hypertension & high LDL are the result of all this so now I really try to keep my stress levels down as much as possible. In fact, I have a imaginary bucket that I throw things into that I can do nothing about and which do not affect me. But I see so many 'angry' people around, all wound up because they have swallowed so much misinformation and embellished 'news' that they have read or heard online. Why live your life in such stress? It is sad.

We have since let the fights go, and are working with non-stress model and walking for 10,000 steps per day. Symptoms and stress have helped and she feels much better.

SO beautifully put together. I often summarise this to my patients that come for Bowen Therapy. Even though its a manual therapy it impacts and balances the Nervous system so often they notice improvement not only in posture but sleep, improved digestive system, helps regulate hormonal imbalances etc.. They often don't understand how the Bowen Therapy can have such a profound effect on the body. So good to have found you and your videos as it it great to help my patients understand. I will certainly refer your videos to some to my patients. Also if the body doesn't respond is often a gut issue. There is so much I can do during my sessions and people need to be informed to be motivated to change their lives. Thank you Dr. Berg.
