DR MINDY'S NOTES:
Adrenal Fatigue Symptoms:
-heart palpitations
-craving salt
-low energy throughout the day
-waking up at 2am
-get dizzy when standing
-hungry all the time
STEP ONE: What tissues are involved in proper adrenal function?
1. BRAIN- HPA AXIS (communication from the brain to adrenals
2. LIVER- METABOLIZE CORTISOL
3. CELLS RECEIVE CORTISOL
BOTTOMLINE: 4 tissues to think about: brain, adrenals, liver, cells
STEP TWO: How does cortisol dysregulation happen?
-Brain: toxins
-Adrenals: overuse, toxins
-Liver: toxins, microbiome
-Cellular membrane; inflammation (bad fats, high blood sugar, toxins)
STEP THREE: Can fasting help?
BRAIN: Ketones heal the brain
LIVER: low bs, increases cortisol, increased cortisol stimulates the liver to release sugar (
CELLS: Autophagy, Apoptosis, Anti-inflammatory,
ADRENALS: mild stressors force adaptation (hormetic effect)

I've been a Chiropractor for 23 years and I started fasting 30 years ago when I was in the Peace corps. Have been suggesting fasting for years but never had this level of understanding. Thanks Doctor Mindy! Super helpful for our patients. Many are really benefitting.
"You were born in an intelligent, miraculous body..." I love you Dr Mindy! Thanks for reminding us how amazing we truly are 😊
Toxin reset
Dr. Mindy Pelz hello! Thank you for all you do...plus, toxin reset please
If it was that intelligent it would get sick.
😅😅😅😊
I have struggled with adrenal fatigue since I was a teenager, supplements helping, increasing salt helped, but nothing fixed the problem. I looked into intermittent fasting after my third child left me with weight that wasn’t going away. I almost didn’t do it because of everyone saying how those with adrenal fatigue, and those with low blood pressure should not. I decided to try, and if I noticed ill effects I would stop immediately. I am so pleased to say that I feel better than I have in my life. Honestly, I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so mentally clear, and energetic, and HAPPY!!! The weight loss hasn’t started yet, but it has only been a couple weeks doing my 16 hour a day fast, and honestly, even if I were to stay overweight, it would be worth feeling this way!
Did you lose the weight too?
@@anneross1859 I didn’t lose weight with the intermittent fasting, but I did start to lose weight doing it once a month three day fast on water only. And then I had another baby and I have yet to get back on the bandwagon 🙃. I have quit sugar and alcohol five days a week. And that is as far as I have gone since the baby, but it has helped immensely.
@@keelyokeefe5270 I’m in my 50s so weight loss is very challenging. I find I’m not as bloated and the fat is slowly coming off. I have hypothyroidism so patience is key for me too!!
How much salt are you taking?
@@sdmains I just added extra salt to my food, sometimes even before tasting it. Make sure you have absorbable salt like sea salt. I would take a salt pill if I felt especially crappy 🤷♀️
Dr Mindy - I found you a week ago & am one week in on my fasting journey. I’m feeling lighter in mind & body which is amazing as I’ve been battling with menopausal fog brain, stubborn belly fat & fatigue - for years. I’d begun to lose hope. I’m beginning to understand from you what’s happening with my body & working with it. Thank you - you make it so clear & interesting. 🙏I’ll let you know how I’m going in a month’s time! 😀
You've got this! 💪🏻🤗
Thank you for talking about adrenal fatigue and intermittent fasting. I have been doing IF for the past 8 months and it has really helped my adrenals ! I appreciate your strategies and will tweak my process a little more 😊
Marie Dylke what stage of adrenal fatigue would you estimate you were at?
How did you tweak the process? And how are you doing now?
Was born with symptoms of stage 3 adrenal fatigue, have never functioned, was mainly bedridden so no school, work, education or class have I been able to enter for a longer time. At 30 I was on disability for the extreme tiredness. At 35 they found I had graves. Now at 43 Im in a real bad place where nothing makes me better. Ony thing that ever helped and actually made me 100% symptom free, was supplements for adrenal fatigue; Ashwaghanda and Cortrex. I'm still on it but its not helping anymore though, think I'm completely stressed out. I was one of thos who didnt believe in natural medicine but wow..It really does work.
Meditation is the thing that will help you. It's destressing. Check out Dr. Eric Berg's videos on adrenal fatigue.
I just wanted to share how fasting and a low carb diet has improved my health . I started Atkins in January 2020. Then started eating a ketogenic diet in February. And, then I started fasting in April, I think. The first thing I noticed was the weight loss. Then my blood pressure started going down and I was able to stop taking medication. Next, my blood sugar started coming down. I was not on any medication for that, but I was headed in that direction. But, not anymore. And, just recently within the last week I’ve noticed that I sleep through the night without having to get up and go to the bathroom 2 or 3 times in the middle of the night. Who knew fasting could improve incontinence!?
Melissa Andrews How are you doing these days? Still thriving on Keto?
Thanks for sharing your experience ❤️❤️❤️🙏
How are you doing with the fasting now?

Great subject! Finally having this answered for me since all my weight and health issues started from chronic stress after a major life event and almost went into adrenal failure. Have come a long way by myself, but need help from health practitioners that actually understand adrenal fatigue! Thank you!
Finding people that are supportive in your journey is vital. Hope you're doing well.
They are impossible to find! So glad a friend found this channel for me!!!
Sounds like you need a functional medicine practitioner
How are you doing now?
Dr. MINDY is a MIRACULOUS INTELLIGENT BODY
i get a massage once a week at least...helps me with any fatigue i have...it can get expensive but its worth every dollar.
I wish I could every week. I do once a month.
I bought a shiatsu massage cushion, it doesnt work miracles but it helps a bit.
I had low cortisol issues. Did a 5 day fast followed by blood tests. My Dr couldn’t believe the results. My cortisol normalised.
Toxin reset
What kind of fast, did you eat 1 time a day?
Here are some common causes of adrenal fatigue:👇
Poor diet.
Lack of sleep.
Working too hard.
Emotional trauma.
Lack of exercise.
Too much exercise.
Mold exposure.
I have two of those on the list that it’s making it tough for me
I hadn’t known mold exposure also!
I have 5 out of those :)
And a huge one is caffeine
First, thank you for this video. I've had anxiety since I was a kid and it has eaten away at my body since, I never have energy and I have over 20 other symptoms including a burning brain. It seems I have adrenal fatigue among others because since I'm fasting my Garmin watch shows me how my stress level and heart rate drop the longer I fast, to the point where I am far more relaxed awake than I ever was when I am asleep. It's difficult to put into words how this information is helping me.
The fasting information is very helpful on this channel.

Great information. Thank you for explaining in so detail! I will break my fast today evening. 72 hours!
This is a good video as my hormone groups all say fasting will raise cortisol and you only feel good while fasting because of adrenaline until you crash. I appreciate hearing other facts!
I started my 24 hour fast at 2 PM.
This is SO amazing. About 8 months in to my 2nd round of healing extremely severe adrenal insufficiency. Working on step 6, did/doing 1-5! I'm going to have to join the resetters.
Thank you....not only for the video but also for the foot notes in detail...❤❤ Struggling with menopause battling with unexplained weight gain for 2 decades losing hope bcos fasting is also not showing results. U have categorised it clearly, so now hv to work in brain health 🙏

On Keto with intermittent and longer term fasting (from Nov 1, 2018) I had ALL of those symptoms of adrenal fatigue. I started Carnivore on Aug 1, 2020 and a bunch of issues have stopped. But I still feel that I need more adrenal healing. I have been doing everything you mentioned. I’ve been checking my blood glucose regularly and I’ve been between 87-102...on Carnivore! And OMAD! I have had zero cravings and don’t cheat. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I figure there is probably a tiny tweak that I’m missing. All good information here, except that I’m already doing it all! Now what? (Be patient and consistent? I think nearly 2 years is patient and consistent.)
@@ratqueen3809 I still have those 12 little pounds left that will not go away! But I feel great! Most days are amazing compared to the 20 years I suffered! How are you doing? Truly, it is certainly worth whatever we feel like we are missing out on!
I know you commented a long time ago, but I was in a similar boat. Look up Dr. Andrew Neville if you are still having problems, life changing. Good luck!
You're still in stress mode stop fasting happened to me to I eat all the time every 3 hours I lost more weight than when I was fasting my body was in stress mode from fasting its not a one size fits all she's talking crazy
I took me 2 years to realize stop listening to people and listen and figure out what my body was doing nothing is one size fits all
I agree, fasting doesn’t work for everyone. I was doing very clean if and low carb for 2 years and had adrenal failure. Hospitalized and drs insisted I quit fasting. Damn 😢
Toxin reset? Please advise, I just found this channel. I'm asking questions but I am not getting answers from medical community. None of my Drs are talking about diet and fasting, they are talking drugs. I think there's more to this toxicity thing. Sign me up Dr Mindy.
OMG! I had all the signs of adrenal fatigue. I kept fasting and kept keto-ing for almost 2 yrs. At first it seemed good. I finally just hit a wall. I barely got out of bed. My hair'd mostly fallen out, my arms n' legs were empty and shriveled...where had my muscles gone? Guess I never really keto-adapted. I'm 68, My skin was so dry and crepey. This: after a life time of studying nutrition and striving for good health. So, what hap'n? I noticed a thumbnail of Dr Berry...Why was he posting such an old pic? LOL I clicked on it and he was talking about carnivore. Weird. We'd all been eating 10 cups of veggies a day, right? But, damn, he looked good! I'd stopped following a while back cuz he looked like a heavy drinker...the sagging skin. Not MY health goal! Now, here he was, looking 20 yrs younger. I decided to give carnivore a 1-2 day trial. After only 1 day, I woke up in the morning feeling so awake and refreshed. Where was my brain fog? My resistance to moving a muscle? Hey...My BACK PAIN? My neck pain and daily headache? My mouth didn't even feel dry. I got out of bed in one fluid movement..wait...my injured knee...it feels fine! Now, I'm on day 12 of the avo-vore diet. I eat all I want, I don't fast...I just eat. Feels like vacation every meal...butter, eggs, meat, bacon, salmon, avocados, cream in my coffee! I was always fasting...never early morning cream. My friends say my face is looking smoother, I can even see a dif! In about 10 days, I'll add in some berries. I'll add back foods one at a time. See how well they serve me/ which ones give me inflammation. Never going back to chronic back pain! Those foods, I'll skip.
👏👏👏
6:00 steps to fasting. Very helpful and informative.
Toxin reset, please! I’ve been keto for 2 1/2 years and was doing great- down 50 lbs. Then 20 lbs slowly came back over a year. Been struggling with thyroid and adrenal fatigue for years. I felt better for about 10 months then energy tanked. I still do IF and keto so hoping it’s the toxins that are my problem!
Sounds similar to me.. recently discovered it could possibly be hormones at 56 years and suffering with adrenal fatigue, IF for a year 18:6, OMAD, 36, 48, 72 hrs and with exercise depleted my system, feel unable to kickstart energy... at a loss tbh... hadn't seen videos on over 50's hormones/menopausal/post menopausal and the effects IF has on these... thought I was resetting 😭
Hope you are on the road to revovery

Thank you for this video. I have the most signs of adrenal fatigue but I always done intermittent fasting. I did also a 3 day fast but lately I can't succeed any more to do fasting. I get hungry very fast and feel tired and slogish...don't know why 🥴
Omega-3, minerals, vitamins, healthy oils/fats should be consumed during IF, and a high quality water.
Toxin reset, please.We can not thank you enough for this awareness you are kindly providing.
my studies chose that paleo and fasting is the future of the planet
Toxin reset
Toxin Reset, please, and thank you for all of the meaningful work that you do!
Please help with hair loss on keto diet. I’m at my wits end! 🥺
Yes great comment. @dr Mindy, could you do a video on hairloss due to adrenal fatigue & keto diet please. Perhaps hormone related (for woman)?
@@DrMindyPelz Thank you. I will check it out. God bless. 💕
Toxin Reset, please. And thank you for making these available.
Great video. I'm wondering what impact this also has on fibroids? It seems like every issue I have is totally linked to stress and hormones. I'm getting results, better energy, weight loss etc, so I know it's working.
You’re iodine deficient. I had this, too. Fixed it with adding seaweed to my diet.
So far my test for hyperaldosteronism has been positive, I'm waiting on the reading of my ct scan. I've had HBP for over 47yrs starting in my teens. I continue to fast. Over the year I've lost 30 solid pounds. will continue fasting repair adrenal glands
I go in for this test next week! So nervous.
@@taibug7813 ct scan was no problem for me. the contrast made me nauseous but I think the 3 day fast I did beforehand helped it clear my system much faster than other contrast I've had. I'm hoping they will see whats they need so they won't have to go through the groin which is a stay at the hosp.
@@RPJtotalcare4you Fingers crossed for you!!!
Adrenaline is how I operate.
If I can't sleep throughout the night,
I must focus on my adrenal glands?
Good to know.
Yes, if you have insomnia, your adrenals are fatigued.
I had chronic insomnia for 2 years and severe anxiety. Took benzos for months.
Now that I eat a Paleo diet and I take care of my adrenals, I sleep much better.
I am pretty sure my adrenals are just about shut down ....fatigued, unable to get up for hours, don't sleep in till 5 a.m, love salty food, don't loose weight not matter what! my last 5 day water fast I spent 2 days throwing up and the other one end too.... mostly bile! My liver is damaged also, so I fast and wait for it to heal; and ....just noticed my thyroid is larger and hard, tired of going to the dr for it, !
TOXIN RESET
Love this channel so much! Thank you Dr Mindy for your amazing science as it's helped us to lose over 100lbs using keto and IF! 💕
Nice results!!
Toxic Reset, YES please. The more we take care of our own health, the better. Every bit helps, I have come back from a critical illness one step at a time. I am so grateful for this support. Thank you Dr. Pelz, conventional medicine in Canada just IGNORES you to death.
Good day, I will like to participate in the 90 detox reset. --
I jumped into fasting and I think my adrenals got way too stressed as I experienced a panic attack/anxiety episode last week (I was shooting for 24 hours and maybe 3 days to reset mental health but opss! Didnt make it & Didnt take into account my main issue is my adrenals) I did do 36 hours the week before because on weight loss journey as well and even though I was exhausted I didn’t experience anxiety.
Dr Mindy, I did read your book
And thought I was doing it correctly but came to the realization my adrenals are the main issue because of all my symptoms.
Im following your adrenal fatigue protocol and will then slowly start incorporating more time. I want to feel normal and wish for sharp mental health till Im really really old🩷 wish me luck.

Dr. Mindy, what about Green and Black tea ? ARe they supportive of adrenals or adverse?
no cause they have caffeine which worsen adrenals try aswaghanda or ginseg those lower cortisol level and support adrenals
@@SuccessfulChan thanks...needed this reminder. . . can you get these in a drink or food ?
@@bonniebucklaw6247 You can drink them as a tea for example ginseng tea
You can drink de caffeinated ones.
Thank you so much for talking about adrenal fatigue. I’ve been experiencing this for quite some time now. I’d like to start intermittent fasting , and also would like the toxic reset .
Amazingly succinct, lucid exposition of a complex topic!
I do all of these things, but it seems the last step is what I now need. Toxin reset, please! 🙏🌟💞☯️
Toxin reset please
Toxin reset. I'm not sure where to start. I'm having hormonal, thyroid, adrenal, blood pathogen(m protein) issues, fevers, etc...🤯
Toxin reset sounds like something I need. Thank you for your wondderful service Dr Mindy 💕
@@DrMindyPelz Dear Dr. Mindy, can I join your detox programm from Switzerland? Are the products available?
Thanks Doc. Toxin reset please.
Also I'm having trouble finding the whole series of three thyroid videos, one of which I have seen and loved. I'd love to listen to the second and third.
Thanks for your encouragement and endless learning and tweeking to root out the causes and solutions for our health crises in these difficult times.
Thanks! I’ve been keto for year and half. Getting ready to eat high carb for first time due to period coming. I’m exhausted all the time despite five days exercise. Naps twice a day. Sleep 9 hours. Not good sleep
Your awesome Thank you for sharing this beautiful information

High dosage of fresh Vitamin C with no sugar no oranges no grapefruits
Why no grapefruits?
Some medicines are ineffective with grapefruit. I forgot why though. Otherwise good to go
Amazing, I love your knowledge and the way you explain everything
Toxin reset please
How do i know if i’m adrenal fatigued? I’m constantly exhausted!
Chantelle Beer same here
You can check with your doctor if it is not pfeifer or something related. I had pfeifer and toxoplasmosis about 10 years ago, which eventually healed after 6 months (slowing down daily routine). If you have AF, it feels and is much worse. Slowing down is not enough. Still recovering after 3 years. Things are finally getting better it seems (since 3 days).
@@DrMindyPelz I have adrenal fatigue from Mono which, I had about 3 years ago and I gained weight. I did keto for over a year then went to carnivore its over a year now and still am not losing weight and my blood sugar is always between 92 and 120 I can't get it down further its mostly 98 to a hundred and something, I've been fasting... only one meal a day but, I've done this practically all my life. Up until I got Mono I only weighed 112 pounds after the Mono I gained 60 pounds I'm 65 yrs., old and having a really hard time dealing with gaining so much weight! I am so serious to heal myself I order all my food from a grass fed farm in Lancaster, Pa and in over two years only cheated eating a couple pieces of pizza maybe, three times. I can't get the keto test strips anymore (ins., won't pay for them) so I bought a ketone meter you blow in and according to this I am always in ketosis but, I'm still always exhausted. I found out about Ashawaghanda thank god and now at least, I sleep at night!

I have cronic insomnia i cant regulate my adrenals
Me too 😢
Toxin reset info would be great!!
Do we have to be in Ketosis all day? What is the % of the day we should be in Ketosis?
grace morrison the aim is to be in ketosis all the time, I was following a ketosis lifestyle till Covid, then I started drinking and eating more carbs, end result is 7 kilos added, before I was thinking clearly, I was never hungry and had a lot more energy, so here I am about to start all over again 🤦♀️
@@gemspiritmessages2754 same. I was hardcore keto then covid hit and I gained 18 lbs. Back on keto and fasting. 5 lbs to goal

I have been on keto for 8 months with IF...lost 65 pounds and in my mid 60's. Female....started every so often extended fasting for 24 36 hours...just recently did 3 day fast with electrolytes and water...on 3 rd day broke out in rash on throat and neck and arms and hands and on pubic area...now very fearful of fasting. Still have itchy rash for over a week!! I know I have adrenal fatigue...and my blood pressure on 3rd day rise to 176/127 !! Help!!
Wow! Wild reaction you’re having. I wonder if it’s a detox reaction? I’ve read rashes Can be a sign of detox during a fast. 🤔
@@amandatkids854 yes that was my sense...just got some williards water and back on celery juice as of yesterday...hopefully will clear up soon...
Goldie I too hope it does for you Goldie, that could be unsettling seeing all the rashes, I imagine! Feel better and yum, celery juice!
I notice that whenever I do a three or more day fast, I get a YUGE ugly boil on some part of my body or other...thinking it’s a detox thing.. sorry about the rash..😓

Is it just the Cortisol involved? What about excess levels of Aldosteron wile normal levels of Cortisol and still feeling tired (one year in
Keto vegan and at least 17 h of fasting/day, 75 mg Aldacton/d, B12 ok)?

Eat some animal products, eggs. Alone can make a difference x

Does the hormetic affect also apply to a person with one adrenal? Anything I should be careful of? I am 2 months post op adrenalectomy due to a pheochromocytoma and I'm trying to get my health back. I am 43 and have not been able to lose any weight due to excessive amounts of cortisol and adrenaline (due to tumor) and have been trying to IF and keto but have been just tired and craving sugar since my surgery! Im also trying to heal nodules on my thyroid and am on information overload. I so want my health back!
God love your heart. I feel so bad for you because I can only imagine how bad you feel. I have/had a burned out thyroid and adrenals and I know how exaustingly tired I was all the time, still struggle with the weight. I went from 110 pounds to 160 in 4 months. Havent been able to lose any weight but have at least managed to stabalize and not gain any more in the past year. I also feel your pain on the information overload....and as you keep going there are going to be times where you feel like you have to live so restricted but in the end every time I cave and eat wrong I regret it because I soon feel bad again all over again. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND looking up a woman named Dr. Izabella Wentz. She is a pharmacist who helped heal herself of thyroid and adrenal problems and teaches others how to do the same. It has taken me a year of working out kinks but I finally feel a lot closer to my old self before everything went haywire. For me I had to pretty much give up gluten all together...I avoid it like black death now lol. If I eat a regular sandwhich on regular bread I am in the bed needing a nap an hour later, my energy crashes bad. I also do the intermittent fasting most days, but I was never really a breakfast eater anyway so I just increased my water intake around lunch to help me hold out til dinner and it wasnt that bad. I do take a lot of supplements however, some of which I have weaned off of over time and others I still continue and may for another year. Selenium helps the thyroid, N-ACETYL-CYSTEINE has been a game changer for me in getting rid of brain fog, all the B vitamins for energy (I take a B complex but I also take some of the B vitamins seperately as well, like extra B12, benfotiamine, and L-Methylfolate...although that last one is different for everyone and may make you feel like a million bucks with energy galore or could make you feel worse within a month, depending on a specific gene mutation you may or may not have). I also took Liver detox supplements, learned to cook in glass, cast iron, or stainless steel...no aluminum, no aluminum foil, no aluminum in deodorants, etc..... It can be a lot esp if you try to tackle all at once so start slow and be patient with yourself (which I know is extremely hard to do when you just feel like crap and want your health back like NOW). Toxic overload didnt happen overnight and healing wont be overnight but you can feel a crap ton better than you do now. You will have to be your own best friend and researcher because most of the stuff that will actually make a difference in how you will feel will not come from a pharmacy or doctor. I cannot stress how great Izabella Wentz is, even just subscribing to her free emails you will learn a lot over time. Best of luck, wishes, and my heart and prayers go out to you!!!!
Selena Hayes thank you! I’ll take a look at her! This has been a long health journey for me also. The tumor was a surprise but I am sure now it’s just going to take lots of time of internal healing, like you said. My husband reminded me that I lived with it causing havoc for almost 3 years so it is going to take just as long to level out. I have been pretty good at staying keto for the last 3 years But I just realized they put me on antibiotics before my surgery (and didn’t tell me!) and so I understand now why I was crazy sugar so badly! I do know that gluten is horrible for me and I am going to cut it out now for good. I actually do a lot of the same supps and we have cut toxins including aluminum over 13 years ago.
Selena Hayes and thank you for sharing all of that!!
@@mama2halfadozen175 No problem, I really sympathize with you. I know how bad I felt so I cant even imagine how bad you feel. Anyway I can help someone feel even a little bit better from this awful mess I sure would try. Much love and prayers for you on your journey to healing 💜🙏
@@selenahayes7244 Thank you!
I can barely make it a few hours without eating before hypoglycemia 🥴
I was the same way until I recently learned that I cannot eat in the morning when my cortisol levels are high. I just fast all morning long and wait until afternoon when my cortisol levels are lower. That helps me immensely. It didn’t matter what I eat in the morning. Even fat and protein made me feel hypoglycemic.
@@barlowwe feeling hypoglycemic means you’re feeling sick because you haven’t eaten, not because of what you ate
@@LoveLeigh313 I am aware of what hypoglycemia is. I feel hypoglycemic when I’m hungry and after I’ve eaten. Basically all the time. I was offering you a suggestion that has helped me. Fasting has improved my hypoglycemia immensely. But anyway, nevermind.
@@barlowwe no need to get upset at me pointing it out. I literally can’t fast because I get sick.. that’s what hypoglycemia is… feeling sick so you have to eat
7: 06 Caffeine is a neurotoxin. Putting it in the front end of your digestive system is bad enough but putting it up the other end is just batcrap crazy.
Totally on board with fasting, I do OMAD daily, but coffee up the rear, no way is that healthy.
@Anita Martini It makes a terrific garden pesticide. Lethal to slugs and snails.

But seriously: this article shows that caffeine is a drug.

I have epilepsy and I have researched this regarding seizures extensively :
seizures.dolyan.com/caffeine-and-grand-mal-seizures/
Caffeine will make me have a seizure. It doesn't do that to everybody but that doesn't mean it is good for anybody. It just means that some brains have a higher "seizure threshold' than others.
Coffee enemas may be the chic thing to do according to Gweneth Paltrow but ask an ER doc, they will tell you to not be foolish.
www.menshealth.com/health/a19546526/gwyneth-paltrow-coffee-enemas-dangerous/
@Anita Martini In perfectly healthy people caffeine may not cause any damage. I drank coffee for years before I started having seizures. It is a neurotoxin. The fact that a small amount won't hurt you doesn't make it a good thing.
Coffee is also a diuretic and can lead to electrolyte imbalances, leading to muscle cramps, headaches, etc. It's also highly addictive. That's called a drug. If you don't mind being a junkie, be my guest.
Sure you can find a study (probably funded by Maxwell House) that says caffeine is beneficial. And I really don't care about healthy people having a morning cup of joe. But when you start putting it in at the other end, it is impossible to tell how much you are or aren't getting. Different people's guts are damaged to different degrees in different ways and so absorb chemicals such as caffeine differently. This is dangerous. You can get WAY more caffeine as an enema than you would get drinking the same amounted and people often use way more than a pot of coffee.
It's not meant to go in that way and it serves no purpose. People report feeling awesome. Of course they do. They are freaking high.
Coffee is big business and they have a whole "research" section to the marketing association.

My shortness of breath started the day after my son moved away after college. my wellness doctor determined I have AFS. I have had no energy. Always wake up at 2. I have done fasting in the past. Now I am going to go back to fasting. Hfcs is my weakness. We just can’t eat most foods now. Sad
We all go through phases in life💚 Be gentle with yourself and you will get there!
Thank you Dr, Mindy! my nutrienous says thats my biggest problem. I used to do a ton of cocaine(13 years clean) and she says ive put damge to my adrenals. Ive started 16 -17 hour fasting, Thank you for the advice of breaking a fast and whats best to eat, My addictive brain says" go get pizza" , ill stick with the avocado and chicken.

Thank you, Mindy, from Santiago, Chile!!! Awesome Channel!!!
Please detox reset group!
Thanks a lot!!!! Many blessings to you and your beautiful work
Thank you, now I also know, why that wim Hoff breathing and those cold showers 🥶 are also helping my adrenals....unfortunately there is no direct noticable benefit from those for me, but your information about using little stressors to revitalize my adrenals helps me to keep up my motivation...
Dr Mindy Pelz is wonderful. I love to learn all this fascinating stuff. 🙂

I like your video, to reset the brain, a good quality sleep is the best way, I know the basic of keto and IF, but I have trouble sleeping, I hope you can do some of the brain reset method on TH-cam.
Yes, please to reset. Thank you so much.
What about fasting or IF and the breakdown of muscle. I was told by my naturopath that anyone with tired adrenals should not do any type of fasting because the body will breakdown the muscle for energy.
Yep this lady is just spewing nonsense if u have adrenal problems u should not be fasting your body already has a stress issue
Detox reset please
This video has given me hope! Thank you DR.Mindy. You are amazing.
Toxin reset.

Toxin Reset. Thank you Dr. Mindy!
Thank you for the information Dr Mindy. I need a toxic reset plan.
I’m a newbie to this channel and know a bit about fasting to reset the body. I have had a lot of health issues I didn’t realize were from rheumatic fever, leg and body pain,strep throat, penicillin for 20 years, etc.
I did have a teaching career and raised two children, but insanely, got breast implants 17 years ago, and my body became wracked with pain and autoimmune illnesses and other infections, including mold toxicity. I had to retire from my teaching career and go on disability, then learned about breast implant illness. I was furious at the medical system for all the lies and cover ups. I had to have 3 major surgeries because of failing organs, and had to get well enough to have the implants removed by a specialist. That was 2 1/2 years ago, and now I’m on an antifungal diet, moved to a cleaner environment, and have clean water.
However, it seems I had a setback this past spring when I was exposed to molds and toxins volunteering at a community garden.
I’ve been sick for the most part for 4 months. I don’t sleep, have very little energy, and I’m at a loss.
I read anything I can in getting well with functional medicine, and my thyroid and hormones are imbalanced. They just put me on a pill for that, I see a pain doctor for my back which is disgusting and has a birth defect, and two specialty chiropractors.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Will this help me? I do skip breakfast and usually only eat one meal a day, but I’m probably deficient in something.
Thank you for any help!
You’re very good at explaining this, but I’m unsure of a lot of things.
Hi Kathryn, so sorry to read about your situation. Gently easing into intermittent fasting is not a bad idea. And perhaps also adding a ketogenic diet to it may help give it the extra boost to your health.
It looks to me that your endocrine system has been damaged. Have you seen an endocrinologist or a orthomoleculair therapist? Make sure whomever you're seeing works in a holistic manner, everything is connected (not just every organ, but also the mental, physical, emotional, energetic & spiritual body). Hope you'll feel whole soon!
Sand Tx I was seeing a naturopath until I found a doctor around me that specializes in molds and holistic therapies, but she’s hard to get into, and doesn’t take insurance. That’s really not the issue, but she gave me a pretty clean bill of health with a list of autoimmune issues in my body, having conquered the mold situation, and testing me for parasites. I had no hormones, and I’m not sure what is going on.
I DO know that everything is connected, and I think I felt better seeing the naturopath who did hair mineral samples and gave me a ton of supplements I had to take.
I am thinking of seeing a doctor here who is also a functional medicine practitioner. I saw him for a while, and had a TON of food allergies. But, after my disgusting-looking capsules and implants came out, a lot of my symptoms went away.
I’m still following Doug Kauffman’s antifungal diet, and taking supplements and vitamins (holistic), and doing the best I can, but I just feel like I kind of have the flu all the time again. It’s so disheartening. I have lost so much including a lot of money, friends, relationships, etc. I’m going to try to find an endocrinologist, but they are rare. I don’t know what the other doctor you mentioned is.
Maybe I should go to an integrative medicine doctor, or back to a naturopath.
Thank you for your response and good advice! 🙏💕💫
@@Tinyteacher1111 it seems to me you have been doing a lot of work, finding the right therapist, diet, etc and just doing the best you can. I know it takes a lot of energy to get to the place you want to be at. And unfortunately most doctors don't work in a holistic way and don't go and find the root cause, they just give you medication (suppressing the symptoms). Your body seems to be overloaded with toxins and need time to heal from it, pharmaceutical medication is not going to help (in the long run, just more toxins in the body). It may also help to rid all other toxins from food (including sugar, gmo food/drinks, alcohol, coffee, chemicals), pharma drugs, chemicals in beauty products, bpa in plastic, etc. I have been doing this as much as I can. It is crazy how we have been overloaded our system with toxins, most hidden in products we consume and use daily, and also chemtrails and if you live in a big city it is even worse.
I don't know what a anti-fungal diet looks like, but was wondering if you had your gut completely checked next to the parasites? Because if you have other gut issues (like sibo, leaky gut, etc) this can cause serious health problems as well and need to be addressed first before anything else can work, which also can take weeks or months, maybe even years (not sure).
I have been trying to heal from severe adrenal fatigue for more than 3 years and childhood trauma (which had come to the surface due the AF) which also caused a lot of physical ailments (psychosomatic) for more than 20 years without any luck or progress. It was very time consuming, costly, frustrating, stressful and disheartening not to get the right help from doctors, therapists, etc. or get any better. It wasn't until I started going to ayahuasca and psilocybin ceremonies that things shifted for me on more levels than just physically. I am starting to heal for the first time in my life, and I'm healing in a holistic way. I feel more aligned with my true self and wish the same for everyone. I knew that the body has it's own intelligence and is able to heal any ailment (I've experienced it myself), but it is our mind that is in the way of its healing abilities. It may not be for everybody though, but if you have the courage to explore and if you don't have any contra-indications it may be for you as well. P.s. an orthomoleculair therapist (an alternative profession in the Netherlands) is someone that is specialized in molecular structures but is not a endocrinologist, may be the same as a naturopath, not sure though. If you have never started to practise meditation I would highly recommend it next to journaling. It gives me so much insights and it connects me.
Sand Tx Thank you so much again for your thoughtfulness!
I have done EVERYTHING you mentioned. I healed my leaky gut, h-pylori, mold, had my tonsils removed which were infected for a long time, have been seeing a holistic dentist, had two abscessed teeth removed (which I didn’t even know were abscessed), have extremely clean products including makeup, which I very rarely wear. I take epsom salt baths, use ACV, cleaning products, colloidal silver, hydrogen peroxide, and I make a lot of my own products with with essential oils and organic and clean products and water.
I have gone to therapy, and done everything I can.
However, last night I put a blackout sheet on my window, because the neighbors across the street have lights on their garage that shine in my windows, and I slept until 4 from about 8! Yippee! I feel so much better!
I wish I could try some of the stuff you mentioned, but I don’t know where I could do that. I live in Michigan, and although good doctors are around, most of them don’t connect the dots.
They don’t ask about your diet, your past history, etc. EXCEPT for the one that’s hard to get into and is very expensive, but I may go back to her.
Are you in another country?
I actually found some women around here who have had a toxin overload and are getting rid of it. I’m going to have a chat with them. It really helps to know I’m not a freak, and there are other people out there who are in the same situation!
Thank you, again! Much love and light to you! 💕💫🙏
@@Tinyteacher1111 hi Kathryn, not sure if there are any trustworthy ayahuasca or psilocybin facilitators in or near Michigan. I myself live in the Netherlands and have it done only here. But it is not an easy route, you have to feel the calling or the urge. And it is important to do your homework, find out as much as you can about it, if it is for you, if you are physically/mentally up to do this, etc. Because you have to be (chemically) clean, participate with the right pure intention otherwise it could harm you. You may find out things about yourself, about life you don't want to know or are not ready for, or when you let go you may find answers to questions you didn't even know you had, it can heal in so many ways. It did for me, but I'm not quite there yet. I know that there are psilocybin researches for depression. You may want to look into that. Because with all you have been through I wouldn't find it strange if you feel depressed now and then. I recently found out that I did and I was able to cry away a lot of repressed emotions.
But what I also want to mention is that, apart from the physical ailments you are focusing your healing journey on, are you also focusing on the mental, emotional (energetic and spiritual)? For instance past (repressed) traumas. Also, any ailments in the body means your energy flow (in the chakras) is blocked, which can cause a domino effect of ailments. Massages, dry needling, acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, qigong, warm baths, sauna, deep breathing etc are great examples to help with releasing tension and the energy flow. Trauma Release Excercises (TRE), Trauma Experiencing (a somatic trauma therapy by Peter Levine) and holotropic breathing can help release stored trauma in the physical body. And plant medicines (entheogenes) such as ayahuasca, psilocybin, kambo, san pedro etc can also heal the physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual body. Always remember that you are your best healer, and that healing starts from within, you just need to let go of the egoic mind. The body knows exactly what to do and what it needs, it has it's own intelligence. Try to listen to it and if that's too hard right now, try to feel which therapy is working (even its a little) and which therapist you feel comfortable and save with. If you feel any doubt or resistance, respect that feeling and try to figure out if it's the doctor/physician/therapist or treatment/therapy or if you are simply just not ready at that moment. I am starting (trying out) somatic trauma therapy for the first time next week. I have contacted a few therapists and made appointments with two. I have let them know about it. I want to be honest about it and I want to explore and experience what works best for me and who feels savest from the beginning in stead of staying somewhere just because I have started treatment. I hope this helps you in any way. Thank you for sharing your story and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Sending you much love and light and know that you are already whole. ❤
Awseome as always Dr. Mindy 😍⚘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks!
Toxic reset. Thank you for putting this video together. It’s very informative and I will continue watching until I have everything down.
