thank you so much for this video . I have been dealing with insomnia since two months , I did all the check ups and they told me you have anxiety. I don't believe them I keep searching till I find out that the adrenal glands if they are tired you can will have sleep disorders. I have all the symptoms that you said on the video. especially lightheaded I have if I want to grab things from the floor or if I lay down on the couch or in the bed to sleep or if I stand up . I was always asking for an answer. now i am 100% sure that my insomnia root cause is the adrenal gland fatigue. i slept at night for one hour then boom my eyes open , now I know why I have all these things going with me. thanks a lot.

Thank you. I don't know there are times when I can't speak correctly I hear myself mixing my words. I maybe overly fatigued, stressed and not getting adequate sleep.
I cannot stress enough how perfectly right this man is. Stress has been breaking me down for about 4 years. It's a really bloody fight and totally not worth it.
You described me to a tee. Light headed, racing mind, lack of sleep, always on the go, always exhausted even upon waking in the morning and so on. Thanks for the video.
Ignorant GPs in UK will deny to your face adrenal fatigue isn’t a thing. They say it doesn’t exist. Thanks for this video. You & I know know it exists.
The thing is that what they learn in school is to identify possible medical conditions, confirm w tests/scans & medicate w prescriptions. If it was not part of their curriculum, they usually either aren't familiar or aren't interested in entertaining the process to figure it out. Without treatment, depending on the ailment, this can result in extra stress, mental health issues, further physical issues & worst case, death. It's pretty sick & twisted that mental & physical health are treated separately, when the gut- brain connection is understood & accepted. Its almost as if...they don't actually care abt ppl getting better, abt treating & healing illness; only the profits from long term (if u make it that far) management.
Thank you so much this has absolutely saved me from going into depression..... I have extreme anxiety disorder from a very young age and after getting a stage 1 breast cancer diagnosis my racing thoughts, and fear multiplied. Then a few times I experienced a weakness when standing which only spiked my fear not allowing me to sleep for 2 days. All tests clear. Searched the net nothing but as I am subscribed to your channel this popped up today. I DONT KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I came across this after years of not understanding what was wrong with me. My GP kept telling me i was fine. Now i undrstand everything and i can start to heal myself. I cannot thank you enough.😊
Thanks so much for sharing this! When I speak with patients, adrenal fatigue is a HUGE place where we start otherwise the thyroid, progesterone loss and gut dysfunction can ensue. Healing the adrenals and how we show up in life is massive!
Your way of explaining complex things in a simpler manner is as addictive as sugar.😊 You have changed my life Dr. Sten Ekberg. I am just 32 and I struggled remembering numbers. Body was shapeless. Found your videos on a lucky day and now I see them on repeat mode. Love and Blessings from India. ❤
I do not know where to begin, thanking you for this video ❤️ In 2014 I was diagnosed with Cushing which in my case was a carcinoid in my lung “Beneign tumor”, which sky rocketed my cortisol levels for a long time. This was surgically removed and since then I have tried to recover from tiredness, several naps during the day, severe moods wings, which I was told was a bipolar disease which I had pills for, lack of energy and so fourth… I saw your video 15 days ago and though, OMG “adrenal fatigue” makes so much sense… The following 3 days I did a water fast and after that I have been on a intermittent fasting where I do not eat for 16 hours and reduce my eating window to 8 hours. After day 5 of viewing your video I realized I had not had a single nap since I started and my energy level has been through the roof. Even my wife asked if I was okay 🤣🥰 She has seen a dramatic transformation with my energy level and mood. Furthermore I am now of the bi-polar pills which has no positiv effect as this was clearly an adrenal fatigue issue. I have visited my doctor so many times to get help, I have been MR and CT scanned so many times and been in the hospital several times for days to find out what was causing my “Fatique”. Sten, you may have saved the wellbeing of my life. ❤️ Thank you so much. Karsten 38 year old Male, from Denmark 🇩🇰
See an alternative doctor. I had Cushing's disease in 2010. There are alternatives to the pill pushing doctors so quickly give out that have more negative side effects than positive!
Absolutely the best adrenal video on TH-cam I've ever seen. So easy to understand and not too complicated. All those other videos about adrenals just whip my adrenals even more trying to understand them for hours on end. Thank you, kindly.
I had AF and CF back in 2018. I was over-exercising and was stressed. My Diet was good - ketogenic, but I also did extended fasting at that time. It took me a year to get over this. I've never been so tired in my life. It feels horrible. I never want to get AF again.
Hope all is well! I’ve over excersiced myself aswell. I’ve heard that keto is good for recovery and here he is saying it’s bad! What is your experience?
@@User98681 I went from a keto diet to carnivore diet and have eaten that way ever since (5+years now). At the time when I was at my worst with AF I stopped fasting and for a few weeks I ate 4x a day, small meals. After a while when I started feeling better I went back to eating 2x a day, which is what I mostly do now as well. I couldn't fast for a long time, only now I'm getting back to it but not as extreme as before. And the other thing was REST, a lot of it. It was uncomfortable to just think of doing nothing because of the over exercising I did but my body needed it. Now, I'm trying to not do any extremes in any field. I had to stop using apps to show me my how much I did, because I always want to do better and that encouraged a bad cycle for me. I unfollowed most of the people who influenced my actions and it was good for my mental health.
@@Moni-ui5bz I agree it’s really hard to get yourself to crash upon over excercising and it’s very hard to get out. 2 different sets of tools needed to get each job done. IF Keto Smoking Coffee and 8+ hours of heavy labour a day wrecked me. Pretty well bedridden the smallest Of stressors takes me out. Insomnia is tough. I find eating very often balanced meals is helping me. I look forward to trying carnivore but my body needs full nourishment now! How bad was your crash on a scale 1-10?
@@User98681 I would say a 10. It was the worst time of my life so far. I was so exhausted, just sitting at my desk was too exhausting. sometimes I just slid to the floor and lay there for ten minutes before I could get up again and get on with my day. Thank god that's over! Besides exhaustion I just felt so unwell overall no matter what I did. That was not a feeling I ever want to get back. Good luck to you!
@@Moni-ui5bz thank you for sharing !! I was about the same level. 4 months in, can handle small walks around the block. Something as simple as grocery shopping is to much for me. You healed yourself really quick considering it only took a year!! Cheers to your recovery. God bless you Moni!
Thanks Doc, I have this. Nearly passed out the other day after standing up quickly. Thanks for solutions. I am all over it now. Kudos, watching all your vids.
A very calm and pleasing voice - It makes it easy and enjoyable to listen on what otherwise might seem dry and technical if the same topic is spoken by others.
Lemon 🍋 helps to reduce your acid. I had it after months of stress. I had to go down. I had such terrible muscle aches. But I was drinkig tea and eating lemons and oranges. It help me.
@World Viral Daily lol, I read about this for increasing testosterone, but guys wanted privacy so they used a red lamp. I also read sunlight on your chest and back was powerful in increasing testosterone.
I used to drink cola as my form of energy. Had an anxiety attack and stopped drinking the soda. Getting better but didn't know about the carbs. Thanks Dr!
❤ thank you 💕💕💕, i tried to get my dr to test my cortisol levels, they want, but i was 140 lbs in one year 170, never had high bp now i do thank you i know this is my problem, i stay under stress
This is far the best explanation on adrenal fatigue or ME/CFS so far. Thank you very much. I hope one day humanity finds a permanent and fast cure for this issue.
It is a slow cure. It took years, to go down. It will take years to go up. But if you do not have anyone, who nurtures you to help...It is very difficult.
The interaction between melatonin and cortisol in interesting - i guess that’s why I can’t sleep sometimes if I’ve not eaten enough, even tho I’m tired.
You had Lightheadedness on your board and it woke me up. You described my Vertigo and the alarms in my head went off! I always thought it was from my Hypotension, I have a history of a Diastolic below 64 for decent periods of time. I had a UTI when I was COVID Positive and I had a Diastolic steadily maintaining 57-61. I was fully lucid and interacting smoothly with the ER Staff. I also was diagnosed ADD in high school. Prefrontal Cortex 45mph, rest of the brain 55mph, Adrenal Cortex sending Adrenalin on a steady basis to set things right, and messing with my sleep patterns. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
This is really good information, I truly feel the peace that surpasses all understanding can only come from God. This peace will help to stabilize the adrenal fatigue. This will effect physical, mental, and spiritual health, since all facets are interconnected. 🕊🕊🕊
Thank you for your adrenal info much appreciated. Sending it to everyone I know as this is a crisis in our human condition at this time. Will watch it over and over until it sinks in for a better and healthier body. 😇
What a FANTASTIC presentation !!! It certainly shed a lot of light on some issues that I experienced. And the manner in which you shared your knowledge and given us your advice is the most calm...consise and easy to follow. A big THANK YOU !
Thank you Dana Ricci. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
@@drekberg I always do! The unprecedented availability of knowledge on You tube via presentations as yours is the only way ppl I know and care about can utilise new research to their advantage. Thanks to other health seminars and videos I've successfully interviened in a couple of friends who strictly relied on regular M.D. s advice and protocols. Nobody in my opinion should do that without exploring all this new evidence of the TRUE medical knowledge. Namaste!
this just popped up on the home page, and it hits home with me. thank you so much, also, i just shared this with a neighbor dealing with a similar issue. YOU are the gift that keeps on giving. so, thank you.
I had cushing disease from a pituitary tumor that wasn't diagnosed until i was 33. I had brain surgery and radiation surgery where they destroyed my pituitary so now I have addisons, so I've been threw the ringer. Now that Im 47 I have learned to live with the problems but it's very hard, full on diabetes type 2 from living years with high blood sugar. I really feel that it has taken years off my life span and I will not see old age. The medical personnel that normally are seen have no idea how to diagnose these types of disease, I had to demand the blood test that finally found my cushing's tumor. Most people don't realize how your personality is driven by your hormones and endocrine, I have experienced the extremes and the psychological differences caused by it.
Sorry to hear that. That certainly adds some challenges. Still your best bet is to do the best with what you have. Look at as many videos of mine as you can. They all talk about how to support the body holistically.
@@drekberg I believe that holistic treatment is best and it is not what you get in American healthcare. I will watch your videos as Im always looking for relief and information.
Remember some years back a dentist asked me if I was a stressed out person ,he was concerned about the amount of plaque on the back of my teeth , he asked me if I was a stressed person and when I replied yes I'm sure he said an overworked adrenal gland could be the reason. Also recently I was training for triathlon and doing 100k a week running,swimming,cycling and ended up really skinny but always felt light headed when I stood up, until one day I fainted before I realized I had an obsession. Now I know what the problem was
I'm in the UK & have been diagnosed with ME but don't have all ME symptoms...was diagnosed by default as blood tests all ok....maybe it's this....had 14 yrs of constant stress at home...away from that now but surprised that health, fatigue has still not improved as hoped...thanks for this. Much appreciated 💖
Im a male with Non-Classic CAH - I know all to well the symptoms even with treatments I have days were I simply just check out luckily i work for a company who is understanding works around me.
Thank you. My figure is demolished due to my diabetes, over 59 and stress. My legs and buttocks are smaller. I’m going to make an extra effort to solve this issue.
Thank you very much for you amazing and easy to understand explanation, English isn't my first language but your impeccable pronunciation makes me go through the video like a butterfly. You have described all my symptoms and have given me the solution, because until now just my aunty cbd cookie was helping me to fall sleep, but in the morning I'm so so tired that is a challenge go through my daily tasks. Thank you again. GOD BLESS YOU.
Thanks for the time and effort. We know it's in the magnitude of decades, so we deeply appreciate... I be back here some time later and thank you once more for having changed my life..
Thank you so much for this video...i have looking this explanation for some time now...i had suspected that this was the troubles I was having....i do believe in controlling ones thoughts and and activities on the other hand we have no control over what life can throw at you to deal with... Yes we all have the normal stresses of life or what is considered normal now...which is already at an unhealthy level. Add to this the loss of loved ones around you .... I have experienced these extreme losses...i can say that while you can couch your mind to try and stay healthy ....the body is under extreme stresses.....the adrenal is working overtime...this will bring you to your knees...you will have no energy for life...i have been two year's recovering from the over load unable to work properly...the good news...you can recover with rest and keeping your mind in a peaceful way. Keep in mind: the good Lord dose not give us challenges that we can't over come or mountain's we can't climb
Thank you for this excellent information. I have had years of what you have described. GPs never explain this, they just give you more medication. I finally listened to Dr Jason Fung about 3 years ago and it saved my life. Your videos and Dr Eric Bergs also are what has helped millions to recallerbrate our bodies. Keep up the good work. ..
If we could only make 2 thumbs up for this video.... God bless you more dr. Ekberg ..this is very relatable to my case after 50yrs imprisoned eith this sickness i found my cure. Thank you dr Ekberg.
I was very stress and has PTSD for a few years. I changed job, helping a lot. Now exercising with weights and fasting, plus sauna and cold plunge. I feel I’m getting weaker in the gym. And fatigue after workouts. Not sure about the cold plunges, but shorter saunas and more rest / sleep at the Spa helps. Taking electrolytes of salt, potassium citrate and magnesium L-Threonate, I think these help. Going lighter in the gym!
Fantastic, thanks Dr Eckberg and team. This really sums it up for me, one of the main issues effecting such a huge proportion of the population. I'm dreaming of a World where we don't all constantly whip our adrenals into submission/burnout...
Thanks for such a wonderful and clear presentation . I suffer severely from fatigue and have to nap sometimes twice a day for an hour to 2 hours . I stopped all starch (bread , pasta , pizza , rice , etc 6 months ago ) except small potato or sweet potato and in the morning a small raisin bran . No processed foods , all meat boiled not fried , some fruits and lots of vegies , regular tea but no coffee or alcohol and no sugared refined products , not even commercial fruit juices or soft drinks , but still I am fatigued . I do take a walk in town every day but need to rest soon afterwards . I am of Teutonic ancestry and live in the subtropics so vitamin D is not a problem . What now ?
Sounds like you've done a lot of good things. Just keep looking. Anemia, hypothyroid, stress? Nutrition Response Testing might help get to the bottom of it. Are you in the U.S?
Dr. Ekbert, I now understand. I’ve been living with Adrenal fatigue for 25 years I’m sure. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD. I’m on 70 mg Vyvanse daily and about 10 coffees a day. I’m thinking I’ve been running on adrenaline all my life. I have many of the Cushing symptoms. I don’t know how to explain this to my family doctor, do you have a video that could help/advise?
I have had the lay down/get up lightheadednessfor years along with crummy sleep. I am a very fit triathlete and always just assumed it's bc I train and train to compete at a top10% level. This video has been very informational. Much appreciated

Man, I’m exhausted after reviewing all the things I need to ‘adjust’ (lol). I do believe it is possible to learn to handle many stressors in a way that minimizes their negative effects, by living with a ‘non-stressed’ attitude, and ‘tapping into’ the stress response for energy to meet deadlines or deal with other priorities. I work 2 jobs, including overnights on weekends; so I put a priority on NOT getting stressed-out by minor disruptions, etc. I wise man once said, “Don’t sweat the small stuff, and by the way… It’s ALL small stuff.” While some things are not really ‘small stuff’ , the perspective is a good one. Your thoughts?
Exercise is also supposed to lower stress though and keep cortisol levels in check if I'm not mistaken so hopefully people don't use this as an excuse to not exercise just because of being slightly anxious about something.
Thanks doctor for this amazing video. I had a CT scan and there is an Incidental. 10mm left adrenal nodule. Is any other advices should I follow beside what you explained in this video? Thanks a lot
What can you do about the things you worry about? If nothing, let go. If something, get busy. My wife has this problem. I think worry is a way to try to control things even if you can't.
There's an old saying, God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.
boost your dopamin, serotonin + endorphine and learn some cognitive-behavioral therapie technics to improve your think-/feel-/behavioral patterns! Greetings from Germany!
Breathing exercises, relaxation, exercise, positive reading, funny movies, fish oil, minerals and watch enough of my videos to get the big picture. Good luck
As an Addison"s Crisis can be fatal I think you should have advised people with preexisting hashimoto's thyroiditis,darkened skin (spots on gums darkened lines in hands) increased sensitivity to sound to visit an endocrinologist to get checked.If you seriously have minimal adrenal function and get the flu or physically injured or traumatized it is difficult to get the appropriate life saving treatment without a diagnosis of Addison"s disease.

I always thought it was from my Hypotension, I have a history of a Diastolic below 64 for decent periods of time. I had a UTI when I was COVID Positive and I had a Diastolic steadily maintaining 57-61. I was fully lucid and interacting smoothly with the ER Staff. I also was diagnosed ADD in high school. Prefrontal Cortex 45mph, rest of the brain 55mph, Adrenal Cortex sending Adrenalin on a steady basis to set things right, and messing with my sleep patterns.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
This is really good information, I truly feel the peace that surpasses all understanding can only come from God. This peace will help to stabilize the adrenal fatigue. This will effect physical, mental, and spiritual health, since all facets are interconnected. 🕊🕊🕊
Amen
Amen
Thank you for your adrenal info much appreciated. Sending it to everyone I know as this is a crisis in our human condition at this time. Will watch it over and over until it sinks in for a better and healthier body. 😇
What a FANTASTIC presentation !!!
It certainly shed a lot of light on some issues that I experienced.
And the manner in which you shared your knowledge and given us your advice is the most calm...consise and easy to follow.
A big THANK YOU !
Thank you Dana Ricci. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
@@drekberg I always do!
The unprecedented availability of knowledge on You tube via presentations as yours is the only way ppl I know and care about can utilise new research to their advantage.
Thanks to other health seminars and videos I've successfully interviened in a couple of friends who strictly relied on regular M.D. s advice and protocols.
Nobody in my opinion should do that without exploring all this new evidence of the TRUE medical knowledge.
Namaste!
YOu suggest paleo & keto?I'm not going to eat carcinogenic meat linked to heart disease and cancer.
@@user-dp4bu8jy4b
Your ignorance in this matter is overwhelming !!!!!
this just popped up on the home page, and it hits home with me. thank you so much, also, i just shared this with a neighbor dealing with a similar issue. YOU are the gift that keeps on giving. so, thank you.
I had cushing disease from a pituitary tumor that wasn't diagnosed until i was 33. I had brain surgery and radiation surgery where they destroyed my pituitary so now I have addisons, so I've been threw the ringer. Now that Im 47 I have learned to live with the problems but it's very hard, full on diabetes type 2 from living years with high blood sugar. I really feel that it has taken years off my life span and I will not see old age. The medical personnel that normally are seen have no idea how to diagnose these types of disease, I had to demand the blood test that finally found my cushing's tumor. Most people don't realize how your personality is driven by your hormones and endocrine, I have experienced the extremes and the psychological differences caused by it.
Sorry to hear that. That certainly adds some challenges. Still your best bet is to do the best with what you have. Look at as many videos of mine as you can. They all talk about how to support the body holistically.
@@drekberg I believe that holistic treatment is best and it is not what you get in American healthcare. I will watch your videos as Im always looking for relief and information.
By far one of the best videos on adrenal fatigue on TH-cam. Great information and advice. Thanks.
Dr Sten Heart Felt thank you for the information you provided. God Bless you.
Remember some years back a dentist asked me if I was a stressed out person ,he was concerned about the amount of plaque on the back of my teeth , he asked me if I was a stressed person and when I replied yes I'm sure he said an overworked adrenal gland could be the reason. Also recently I was training for triathlon and doing 100k a week running,swimming,cycling and ended up really skinny but always felt light headed when I stood up, until one day I fainted before I realized I had an obsession. Now I know what the problem was
am a retired biophysicist/biochemist [research and teaching; nordic heritage
I'm in the UK & have been diagnosed with ME but don't have all ME symptoms...was diagnosed by default as blood tests all ok....maybe it's this....had 14 yrs of constant stress at home...away from that now but surprised that health, fatigue has still not improved as hoped...thanks for this. Much appreciated 💖
Thankyou , your subscribers comments help too .
Chronic stress is killing me ! What about toxic people 😒
Punch them in the face lol
Get rid of them
This video is a real masterpiece for good health 🙏💛
Im a male with Non-Classic CAH - I know all to well the symptoms even with treatments I have days were I simply just check out luckily i work for a company who is understanding works around me.
So basically I should try to be permenantly drunk and stoned to calm myself down, which will result in less stress and no adrenal fatigue
i love the way you present the information. calmly!!
You described my mother when you explained Cushings and Addisons. Unfortunately either were known to us.
Thank you. My figure is demolished due to my diabetes, over 59 and stress. My legs and buttocks are smaller. I’m going to make an extra effort to solve this issue.
You have a great way of explaining things. Thank you for this
Thank you very much for you amazing and easy to understand explanation, English isn't my first language but your impeccable pronunciation makes me go through the video like a butterfly. You have described all my symptoms and have given me the solution, because until now just my aunty cbd cookie was helping me to fall sleep, but in the morning I'm so so tired that is a challenge go through my daily tasks. Thank you again. GOD BLESS YOU.
I am so sad that I l had to have a stroke at age 45 to learn all this only now.if only I knew. Thanks for all your other videos as well
Story of my life, dont work overnight then during the day too, dont work 7 days a week in the heat and dont work for your dad.
Hello Dr Ekberg. I'd like to understand one thing . Does adrenal fatigue mean low or high cortisol level on your body? Thank you
Congratulations and Thanks a lot. : this is the best adrenal presentation I have seen and read.
The way you talk and explain is so impactful. Incredible knowledge and logical reasoning and explanation. Very digestible 🙏🙌
Thanks for the time and effort. We know it's in the magnitude of decades, so we deeply appreciate... I be back here some time later and thank you once more for having changed my life..
Thank you so much for this video...i have looking this explanation for some time now...i had suspected that this was the troubles I was having....i do believe in controlling ones thoughts and and activities on the other hand we have no control over what life can throw at you to deal with... Yes we all have the normal stresses of life or what is considered normal now...which is already at an unhealthy level. Add to this the loss of loved ones around you ....
I have experienced these extreme losses...i can say that while you can couch your mind to try and stay healthy ....the body is under extreme stresses.....the adrenal is working overtime...this will bring you to your knees...you will have no energy for life...i have been two year's recovering from the over load unable to work properly...the good news...you can recover with rest and keeping your mind in a peaceful way.
Keep in mind: the good Lord dose not give us challenges that we can't over come or mountain's we can't climb
Good to hear that you are coming through it. Breathing and meditation can be powerful too.
Can it cause erectile dysfunction?
Thank you for this excellent information. I have had years of what you have described. GPs never explain this, they just give you more medication. I finally listened to Dr Jason Fung about 3 years ago and it saved my life. Your videos and Dr Eric Bergs also are what has helped millions to recallerbrate our bodies. Keep up the good work. ..
You explain everything very well, thank you.
What stress me out is our government
May God bless you for your informative ...thanks
Thank you doc... This is the best advice I have had all day
Love how you explain the functions of the human body in factual information to us your viewers. I. Learning SO much. Forever grateful 👍❣️
If we could only make 2 thumbs up for this video.... God bless you more dr. Ekberg ..this is very relatable to my case after 50yrs imprisoned eith this sickness i found my cure. Thank you dr Ekberg.
I was very stress and has PTSD for a few years. I changed job, helping a lot. Now exercising with weights and fasting, plus sauna and cold plunge.
I feel I’m getting weaker in the gym. And fatigue after workouts. Not sure about the cold plunges, but shorter saunas and more rest / sleep at the Spa helps. Taking electrolytes of salt, potassium citrate and magnesium L-Threonate, I think these help. Going lighter in the gym!
Fantastic, thanks Dr Eckberg and team. This really sums it up for me, one of the main issues effecting such a huge proportion of the population. I'm dreaming of a World where we don't all constantly whip our adrenals into submission/burnout...
Thanks for such a wonderful and clear presentation . I suffer severely from fatigue and have to nap sometimes twice a day for an hour to 2 hours . I stopped all starch (bread , pasta , pizza , rice , etc 6 months ago ) except small potato or sweet potato and in the morning a small raisin bran . No processed foods , all meat boiled not fried , some fruits and lots of vegies , regular tea but no coffee or alcohol and no sugared refined products , not even commercial fruit juices or soft drinks , but still I am fatigued . I do take a walk in town every day but need to rest soon afterwards . I am of Teutonic ancestry and live in the subtropics so vitamin D is not a problem . What now ?
Sounds like you've done a lot of good things. Just keep looking. Anemia, hypothyroid, stress? Nutrition Response Testing might help get to the bottom of it. Are you in the U.S?
@@drekberg No , Im in Belize . Anaemia , I doubt . Any wound doesnt bleed long . Hypothyroid , maybe . Allergies ? Unsure.
Holy crap that's me 😳
I mean everything you mentioned I do have and I do, this is crazy😧
A very important topic and a very enlightening explanation.
Another very interesting segment, thank you
Thank you Mette Harter. Good to see you here.
Dr Sten ,…..listening to you alone, ….relieves stress,….such Consise explaination needs a lot of research , a Gem of infos
Pretty sure you just saved my life with this video. THANKYOU.💖
Dr. Ekbert, I now understand. I’ve been living with Adrenal fatigue for 25 years I’m sure. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD. I’m on 70 mg Vyvanse daily and about 10 coffees a day. I’m thinking I’ve been running on adrenaline all my life. I have many of the Cushing symptoms. I don’t know how to explain this to my family doctor, do you have a video that could help/advise?
I take low dose naltrexone (4.5 mg). It changed my life!!!
Thank you very much Doc for excellent explanation.
Thank you Fluffy. Feel free to ask any health questions, and I will do my best to answer them.
He always gives helpful information
Thank God for dr Ekberg. 🥇
I have had the lay down/get up lightheadednessfor years along with crummy sleep. I am a very fit triathlete and always just assumed it's bc I train and train to compete at a top10% level. This video has been very informational. Much appreciated
You may have POTS. I hope you feel better soon.

Do you think that a high rice Asian diet contributes strongly to diabetise? Rice like two and three times a day in India etc.
I needed that, don’t get married. I was so down in the dumps but I could not stop laughing. Thank you for that.
I do believe you are one of my very favorite people.
Amazing' thank you!!

Absolutely brilliant, thanks from Norway 🇳🇴 . Om shanti Kaveri Om 🕉
It looks like my cortisol always low, cause I can go to sleep at any time of a day with no problem, if I have time for that
Or you're completely spent and unresponsive to it because of prolonged overexposure
Man, I’m exhausted after reviewing all the things I need to ‘adjust’ (lol). I do believe it is possible to learn to handle many stressors in a way that minimizes their negative effects, by living with a ‘non-stressed’ attitude, and ‘tapping into’ the stress response for energy to meet deadlines or deal with other priorities. I work 2 jobs, including overnights on weekends; so I put a priority on NOT getting stressed-out by minor disruptions, etc. I wise man once said, “Don’t sweat the small stuff, and by the way… It’s ALL small stuff.” While some things are not really ‘small stuff’ , the perspective is a good one. Your thoughts?
Your explanation really praiseworthy.Enjoy it always.
Exercise is also supposed to lower stress though and keep cortisol levels in check if I'm not mistaken so hopefully people don't use this as an excuse to not exercise just because of being slightly anxious about something.
I started taking medication to help me sleep. I wish I didn't have too, but it is working for me
Thanks doctor for this amazing video.
I had a CT scan and there is an Incidental. 10mm left adrenal nodule.
Is any other advices should I follow beside what you explained in this video?
Thanks a lot
You are a gift. Thank you so muchz
Dr pls help me to cope up with panic thoughts & worries. Quite often I feel drained.
What can you do about the things you worry about? If nothing, let go. If something, get busy. My wife has this problem. I think worry is a way to try to control things even if you can't.
There's an old saying, God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.
boost your dopamin, serotonin + endorphine and learn some cognitive-behavioral therapie technics to improve your think-/feel-/behavioral patterns! Greetings from Germany!
Breathing exercises, relaxation, exercise, positive reading, funny movies, fish oil, minerals and watch enough of my videos to get the big picture. Good luck
Very illustrative presentation .Thank you very much for this.
As an Addison"s Crisis can be fatal I think you should have advised people with preexisting hashimoto's thyroiditis,darkened skin (spots on gums darkened lines in hands) increased sensitivity to sound to visit an endocrinologist to get checked.If you seriously have minimal adrenal function and get the flu or physically injured or traumatized it is difficult to get the appropriate life saving treatment without a diagnosis of Addison"s disease.
This sounds a lot like what I deal with living with fibromyalgia. Is there a video on focused on fibromyalgia?
Very nice explanation👌🏻💐👍🏼
Thank you Soumya Duraipandian. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
