There is a lot of confusion around cortisol. Many people are unsure whether or not they may have high cortisol or low cortisol. Today I want to help clear up this confusion.
Symptoms of high cortisol (Cushing’s syndrome):
• Large waist
• Thin leg muscles
• Round face
• Insomnia
• Blood sugar issues
• Atrophy in the gluteus maximus (butt muscles)
• Acne
• Allergies
• Low vitamin D
• Excessive thinking
• Osteoporosis
Symptoms of low cortisol (Addison’s syndrome):
• Thin waist
• Tan
• Vitiligo
• Poor immune system
• Salt cravings all day long
• You’re completely burnt out
Cushing’s syndrome is very rare. Addison’s disease is also very rare. However, there can be a subclinical problem with cortisol. This means that it may not show up on a blood test or a saliva test until it’s very advanced. I believe many people have a subclinical cortisol problem that’s hard to detect with certain testing.
With a subclinical cortisol problem, the receptor for cortisol has become downgraded. There is now a cortisol resistance problem. With this situation, you can actually have symptoms of both low cortisol and high cortisol.
To potentially help with cortisol resistance, you need to do whatever you can to inhibit the trigger for cortisol. You need to drop your stress. Isolate where your stress is coming from and do whatever you can to minimize the stress. There are things you can do as far as exercise, diet, nutrients, and even a certain massage technique that I've outlined in other videos. There is also something natural called Panax ginseng that may potentially help, along with lowering your stress.

Thanks for watching! Overall, whether or not you may have high or low cortisol, you may really want to focus on reducing your stress as much as possible.
Interesting topic Dr. Berg. I've been living under constant stress for the past 3 years and my adrenals were so fatigued I could barely get out of bed in the morning and felt so lethargic throughout the day, and to make things worse I used to drink a lot of coffee to keep awake, and of course it was impossible to sleep at night, and when I did, I'd wake up in the middle of the night and never been able to go back to sleep. I even always got dizzy when I stand, which is another sign of adrenal burn out. Then I learned about the ketogenic diet, and within 4 months I managed to bring my blood sugar levels to normal, and started taking nutritional yeast and some adaptogenic herbs (Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Astragalus, Stinging nettle roots, Reishi mushroom, Cordyceps, Lemon balm, Skullcap, Passionflower, Ginseng, Gotu kola, Brahmi, Ginkgo, to name a few), in short I confronted my adrenal fatigue head on very aggressively. I also stopped drinking coffee and tea. Now I feel much better, I can sleep through the night and wake up refreshed and full of energy with a positive outlook, all praise to God. Now I make it my mission to raise the awareness of the people around me about how to combat chronic stress and restore the hormonal balance since so many people are suffering silently without knowing what's wrong with them, and the criminal medical establishment is not helping either, so it's very crucial, I think, that people share their knowledge and experience with these unrecognized conditions by the criminal medical establishment, and that's why I really appreciate what you're doing, Dr. Berg. God bless you!
Thank you very much Ahmed... what an inspiration to me... I started KETO/ IF, supplements 6 weeks ago, stop blood pressure ad thyroid meds, I have all the symptoms you had and I cannot sleep..... I also been watching DR.BERG videos , he has all the answers....Dr.Berg supplements plus the products he recommends elsewhere...
Cleaned my pantry and fridge, ordered organic, grassfed everything.... done 72 hours fasting, no cravings no snacks, OMAD at the moment, at 67 I had 40 pounds to loose, lost 15, exercise 6 times a week in a pool....
Sleeping is the issue but I am so encouraged that you did it... it gives me hope
Dear ahmed you consumed all those supplements ?? How you consumed them all and where did you get them all from .. is it really healthy n long run using all those supplements ?? Can u give more information about all this if you could please ?? Thanks..

Avoiding stress is easier said than done
Walking for 20-30 minutes first thing in the morning does wonders for cortisol issues :)
and you should go to a physical therapist there are a lot of hidden stresses in structural imbalances

THE AMAZING DR BERG READ MY MIND 😍❤️❤️❤️
I'm in remission from Cushing's disease, your cortisol related videos are so helpful
Can you share what has helped you? I’m doing everything possible and still jump out of a chair if my cat knocks something over.
@@magnoliannaart turns out my surgery failed so I'm not in remission, but usually for Cushing's disease you either have to have surgery or be on a medication, there aren't really any other options
Best explanation I’ve seen !!
😂 Why was I confused just yesterday and this pops up! Thanks Dr.berg!
You must be related to Dr Berg and you told him about it yesterday. 🙊
at this point im assured that we live in a simulation because i was thinking the same thing 2 days ago :D
Suffering with cortisol related issues for long time now, medical community is really a waste, my Dr didnt even want to listen to my symptoms, no cooperation at all to find out whats going on, thank you for Drs like you Dr. Berg for spreading awareness, much important in todays world. People are done with big pharma. Ayurveda, naturopathy and homeopathy are the way to go🙏🙏
Same here. I had a private test done to measure my cortisol. It turned out that I had insufficient cortisol throughout the day. I come alive at 6 pm.
The laboratory said I needed to show my Dr the results of these findings because further investigations need to be done, and this should not be mistaken for Addison's disease.
So I did, and that was last year, 2021. Nothing is being done?
It's now July 2022, and a locum Dr at my surgery reckons to be getting a full blood panel and looking at my adrenals.
Meantime I am going to see a private consultant.
I have lost loads of hair and changes to the cells at the back of my eye.
I do wonder if this is bc of having been left with this problem for so long.
Same. And they took hydrocortisone off the shelf. Now you have to get an rx. I guess this adrenal thing is like Cushing's disease.
@@ToBeAnnounced2024 I think so too, it has all the symptoms of cushings
Helpful information, thank you for sharing Dr. Berg 🙏
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much Dr berg for much needed information. 👍👍👍
Very glad to be of help.
Happy thanksgiving dr berg & crew
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
Love to see white board back 👍👍👍
Wow this is the best video ever. Explained very well.
I'm from the 1% . 😱😱😱 though I am not stressed now. Its still taking time to be okie.
Thank you ❤
Thanks, this sounds like me. Will start researching. Many thanks.
Thanks Dr.Berg ❤️👍
How timely!! I was up tossing and turning most of the night last night, and caught myself wondering if it has to do with cortisol.
Yikes... big gut, round face, super skinny legs, racing thoughts... check all the boxes. Well, glad I watched this!
Happy Thanksgiving Dr Berg!!! :)
YOUR AWESOME!!!
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!
Another issue that has come to my attention recently is the connection between thyroid issues and low cortisol. I had/have low morning cortisol and have had it for about ten years. I was given products to help and they did for a while when I was on them. The problem is that it didn't fix the whole problem. The low cortisol interfered with my body's ability to convert thyroid hormone to the active form properly. I have a high reverse T3 which and CRP with low cortisol which means my T3(the most active part of thyroid hormone at the cell level) isn't able to connect to it's receptor sights. So I feel like I have hypothyroid symptoms all the time even though all the rest of my thyroid labs are normal. I'm in this never ending loop of low cortisol causing t4 conversio to rt3 which causes low cortisol because t3 is being blocked. The only way out is to take thyroid medicine preferably T3 2-3 hours before waking to match the circadian rhythm of cortisol production. I'm currently on NDT so I started taking it in that time frame and man did it make a difference in how I feel. I can only imagine what it would be like if I could be on the correct medicine Good luck getting a doctor to do that. I found this information in the book by Paul Robinson called Recovering with T3. It actually works.
Omg this is almost my exact situation how are u now
Same situation
I so relate to you! I had been on Synthroid for 27 years until last week when I began NDT. I wasn't converting t4 to t3 rt3 lab is high. I have low cortisol and am concerned it should be fixed now, my Dr thinks it will bounce back up once things "calm down". I'm concerned that the high cortisol could interfere with the NDT, I had to lower the dose to 15 mg! Just went up to 30 mg 3 days ago, the equivalent dose should be 60 mg of NDT but at that dose I had pounding heart and severe jitters and headache. 😢 Can you please share what I can do to help this now? -Katrina
Thank You Dr Berg! = Very interesting!
Glad you liked the video!
Tks very Dr Berg. Your videos had helped me increase my healt for sure!

I had low cortisol, was eating salt like food, on top of that i was diagnosed with undetactive thyroid and h pylori infection. I struggled for 4 years. When I go to doctor they say nothing wrong with you although I couldn't sleep during night, i was irritable and my body shape changed i suddenly looked old. But all that has changed after i found your channel. Thanks dr berg
Could you sum up the steps you took to get better?
Help me, what did you do? Dr's are useless.
I'm facing this, I have hypo-t and low cortisol, what can I do?
❤❤❤Thank you for the video dr. Berg.
My pleasure!
Thanks for this video im wondering this exact thing myself
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching!
I like your style, dude
i believe topical steroid withdrawal has a lot in common with this great video. Could you please do a video on it and how steroid addiction affects the body.
Using organic KSM-66 Ashwagandha right now for high cortisol. It works wonders. I'm no longer anxious and it looks like my testosterone is beginning to work properly again (seen massive muscle gain & better sexual performance)
High Cortisol Levels Symptoms and Signs👍

This is helpful Dr. Berg.
I first wanted to be a Naturopathic medicine doctor, I am in my 40's so I don't want to spend 10 years in school. So I thought of being an RD. Still time consuming 6 years. I just want to help people improve quality of life. Not wanting to go into debt is also a problem.
Thanks Dr. Berg 💜🌼
Absolutely!
Glucocorticoid resistance, also named Chrousos syndrome, is a rare, sporadic or familial condition characterized by biochemically proven hypercortisolism without the clinical stigmata of Cushing syndrome, its because gen mutation not stresss
Hellooo, i have a big question and you are the best source of knowledge in this. I have been doing intermittent fasting for 3 years and recently i was diagnosed with gastritis, my doctor said it was probably my fasting. Not sure what to think of that. Hope you see this.
Am in Arkansas and I grow my own ginseng. I drink tea from it's leaves. I call it "paradox tea" because while I get a calming sensation soon after drinking it, I get a very noticable sense of heightened awareness at the same. No nervous or jittery feeling. Just an energetic one. Drinking it is literally like your senses have a volume knob and you just gently turned it up. One drawback being it tastes very bitter.
I have a ginseng/green tea blend, I notice a similar effect.
Stress levels are about as low as I can reasonable make them in my life, I think I better ramp up my ginseng intake.
@@JamesPawson It may well help you out with those issues. It's a great adaptogen.
The L theanine does that,,, better than coffee,,,
Happy Thanksgiving!! :)
Thank you and we are waiting for translation into Arabic🙏🏻
Hi Dr.Berg can you do a video on your opinion on drinking sole salt? is there any benefits versus just supplementing salt?
Thanks Dr Berg. Glad to c u standing again - I was worried something was wrong. Or maybe ur just getting lazy - just kidding 😉 I was in a very stressful situation for the past 11 years, ended 2 months ago. Now I am riddled with inflammation all over. My doc wants me to go on steroids - I don't want to. So I'm trying to cure it with ur help. I'm out walking every day. I'm intermittent fasting and eating 2 meals in a 4 hour window. I'm eating big salads and lots of veg, with healthy fats and some protein. And doing some acupressure too, I have ur tool thing. No change so far - I'm not expecting an overnight miracle but hoping for some improvement by the new year. I've been burnt out for a long long time so hoping for a way back to health. I do sympathise with others in stressful situations like I was especially if it's a family member. It's not always possible to get away from it. A job is different, u can get another !
I grew up with a sister with narcissistic personality disorder and cried for years when I left and needed a lot of healing. I got sick by 26, 8 years later. Nursing school healed me to help me understand. Id really encourage you to do therapy. Theu can get you on your way and you can have a safe person if you need them in the future..its "funny" how things pop up to trigger past traumas. Take care and you got this!! I've been keto and IF for 3 years and one meal a day most of it..I actually had to wake up early to eat something-- to not fast too long-- for a blood test in 5 hrs LOL.. I haven't eaten this early in probably 6 years! Just remember, everything changes if you change it. You make it happen 🙏🤗🖖
@@sarahm3614 Thanks Sarah, glad ur back on track. 2 years to recover wow. I was thinking maybe a year for me but I guess it'll take as long as it takes. Good luck 🙂
@@dana102083 Thanks Dana. Don't worry my number one priority is me now ! Strangely the relationship I have come out of is not divorce or anything like that.

I was in the hospital 5 months for perforated bowel and they found an adrenal nodule, so that explains the mess of my hormones. Cushing's Sx you missed, buffalo hump (fat developing in upper back), stretch marks, thinning hair, excessive body hair (hirsutism).
Only I don't think I'm under a lot of stress, so I think it's the nodule.
Superbbb video very informative Thanxx
Thank you for watching!

Borderline low cortisol for me. I have had cortisone induced Cushing's years ago. Adrenal tumors.
Wow.. Dr berg my son has low cortisol! He is 16 and he always eats lots of salt, to the point of just shaking it in his mouth. He sprinkles loads on his food and even makes food that no one else can eat cos it's way to salty. Im always tell him to eat more because he is very thin and tall! I have looked up about his excessive salt eating and Addisons disease did come up. Is this a dangerous condition and how can it be fixed?
Thanks

Dr. Berg, what do you think about Ashwaganda? I'm going back to my toxic workplace post mat leave and thinking of everything i can do to thwart stress.
I'm shocked he didn't talk about stress from over eating & high carbs which are taxing on the adrenals. Also GI problems, infections, trauma, plant toxins (let alone junk), some nutrient deficiencies and staying up late are huge stressors. Also EMF and many other environmental hazards... Reducing stress is pretty stressful ;)
Lol 🤣
@@mariejuana2993 to reduce stress you have to get out of bed first 🤣🤣

This was confusing....😂 still love dr. B
Dr. Berg does drinking energy drinks elevate cortisol? Thank you in advanced.
I’m stuck in the loop where I wake up 2 hrs after I go to sleep . It’s down hill after that . Lack of sleep of course leads to more issues
Thank you! 🙏

Dr Berg in case of huge longtime chronic stress could it help to supplement L Tyrosine to support your thyroid gland ?
would high cortisol affect tendon issues and numbness
Know this is old but I have some symptoms of high Cort levels and zero from low BUT my blood tests say I have low Cort levels.

@@paruvathyraman8548 You can ask your doctor to try other types of meds that work the same as hydrocortisone but may not cause gastro problems
I have a question. Can you have cushings with low cortisol? I have a pituitary tumor I have gained a ton of weight and cannot loose it now. I look like I have cushings. My issue is morning until 3pm I have no energy and can barely function. But after 9pm it's like I feel normal I get energy my muscles are not so tired. I have also noticed when I get low cortisol I break out in rashes and my allergies get worse like my body is fighting to raise it. I have had this tumor 17 years now and it's pure hell I can't find doctors that know cortisol enough.
Me - walnuts cashew nuts ground nuts all vegetables semi vegan only unfertilized eggs milk occasionally not much grains - good cholesterol levels without statins
Dr Berg, Can the glucocorticoid resistance’s root cause be infection? Which is indeed stress but internal stress. Maybe a inflammatory type of infection? Such as syphilis, AIDS or Crohn’s Disease?
I am not Dr Berg, but believe yes
How to deal with low blood sugar take glucose tablets ? Please let me know ?
Can you please do a video on lipomas I have a few small ones...my dad had them too. Only 1 bothers me it’s on the inner left elbow

For those that might need it, Korean or other ginsengs are better than panax ginseng.
What is the difference? Or how are they better? thx
I'm surprised Dr. Berg didn't recommend intermittent fasting/prolonged fasting for cortisol resistance. It may be because fasting in itself is a stress to the body initially, but rebounds the longer the fast goes on since cortisol usually drops along with insulin. High Cortisol/Cortisol Resistance could be caused by a chronic infection that the body is having trouble fighting or clearing due to not having enough time and more importantly energy due to the body's continuous attempt to balance out chronic elevated insulin levels due to bad eating habits and chronic emotional stress along with the infection. I'm curious what you think of this theory.
I agree somehow with your theory. I was experience several symptoms related to low cortisol, including hypoglycemia symptoms (but the blood tests normal). However I am dealing with sibo and gut issues. After take a round of antibiotics, the hypoglycemia symptoms went away, but they returned a month after. I am looking natural alternatives for sibo, since it is not a good idea been on antibiotics often.
How many hours do you recommend fasting?
Dr Berg, I really appreciate your videos. My cortisol labs are " normal" with the exception of no cortisol in the morning and very high levels at midnight. So it's flipped.
What could be helpful for that? I'm also 53 and 6 years post menopausal with 25-30 lbs loss.
I have symptoms from each list you present but more of the "high" cortisol list.
Thanks much
Just learning about this in FDN....cortisol is supposed to be highest in the morning and come down throughout the day and lowest at bedtime. My cortisol levels super low, exhaustion phase. I'm 59 post meno. He has 2 products available. but if cort is low get the right one. Getting to bed b4 10 pm is key too, not easy Im working on this. Good luck!

My adrenal issue was due to a pituitary tumour so wasnt making ACTH which in turn wasnt signalling my otherwise healthy adrenals to make cortisol .
Does chamomile help?
Can you have normal cortisol but be anxious or have overactive sympathetic nervous system
What about cannabinoids? I am not advocating the abuse, but rather it’s ability to stimulate multiple receptors in the body (hence why it seems like it is a cure for all ailments lol). Would that not help with cortisol resistance?
Someone can help mi with that book what dr Berg's holding. I need name. I can't hear dr Berg's properly.
I believe it is : Endocrine System and Selected Metabolic Diseases (The CIBA Collection of Medical Illustrations, Vol. 4)
