Chronic stress can affect every system in the body. Let's talk about how to lower cortisol and relieve stress.
We've been told that our environment is dangerous, which causes a lot of stress and anxiety. But, while our environment may be dangerous, it's not as dangerous as many are led to believe-and it's not healthy to keep your attention on this negativity.
It's vital to change your viewpoint on your environment and see it in a positive light, as well as filter out some of the negativity you're exposed to.
Chronic stress can potentially lead to various health issues, including:
• A weak microbiome and more pathogenic bacteria
• A poor immune system
• Inflammation
• Fertility problems
• High insulin levels
• High triglycerides and LDL and low HDL
• Poor detoxification
• Slow digestion
• Poor absorption of vitamins and minerals (including vitamin D)
• Tightened fascia
• Cognitive problems
• The activation of bad genes and suppression of good genes
Two of the best ways to deal with stress and cortisol:
1. Change the viewpoint of your environment and filter out various threats of danger
• Get space in nature
• Connect with your environment
2. Physically flush out accumulated adrenaline and cortisol
• Exercise
• Do physical work

Dr. what do you think about Chlorine Dioxide. I, 've heard some people talking about Oxidative Therapy?
Reading my Bible and journaling every morning really helps release any anxieties I’m entering the day with. Mindfulness really makes the difference.
The bible is quite anxiety making
1st Corinthians 1:18
The Bible and Meditation of The Holy Scriptures has changed my life around.
@@penderyn8794 for me too.
I started journaling as well, and it's so therapeutic !!
I stopped watching news and I tell you it’s a huge difference. Feel very good.
💯
Me too. It's a life-changing shift.
The Bible!! I listen every morning and write my prayers - I’m pretty sure it’s keeping a darn stroke away. Stress is so destructive and Jesus is the only answer xx
I wish I could do that with my Job. It’s my number 1 stressor
Thank you for this tip... I'll try this 😔
As a Muslim when I say “alhamdulillah” ı feel ok that reminds me the blessings of Allah on me.
I lost my husband in 2021 to covid. It was unexpected and extremely traumatic. I had fight or flight and extreme stress. It affected every part of my being. It has taken me a year-and-a-half to get back to 80%. I lost weight my digestion was terrible no sleep, night terrors. I have learned a lot and have great advice on how to get past traumatic grief. I have a good faith, and know I will see my husband again one day.
What’s your advice on how to get past traumatic grief?
Hope you're feeling better now. May you feel better and healed.
@@IWearACrownsurround yourself with pets. Connect more with your family. A lot of people won’t have the patience to hear what you go through everyday. But that is not necessarily the case with family members.
Having two or more cats would really help you.
Closing yourself in a room when things are upside down would just make you feel a lot more depressed. It is better to sit outside and see people doing their daily activities.
Finally exercise a lot to beat your stress and eat healthy. With time things would get better as time is the best healer
@@IWearACrown after the death of my boyfriend, I liked the book "Bearing the Unbearable: Love, Loss, and the Heartbreaking Path of Grief" by Joanne Cacciatore
Take care❤
Great advice & needed for myself
1 AVOID MEDIA
2. Avoid Negative People just so draining . Love this upbeat video . Thank you Dr. BERG. Enjoy the day ..
Perfect 👍🏼
It's literally 5 am
YES to this Patricia 🙌🏽 Avoid where you can, and where you can't, develop a 'protective' mindset to protect your energy from the negativity ❤
Changing your mindset from the environment...also works
@@trelllmaoyessir
Lol wow where are you at in the world. It is now 745a here. Still exhausted for me but listening to yet another video of good news by the doc.
Dr. Berg should be given an award for best Dr in the world
100%. He says it as it is. Also he offers excellent medical advice that you’d never get from your massively overpaid General Practitioner ( in UK they’re paid up to £140k for writing out a few prescriptions - madness ).
I'm ready to vote for him.
I agree, Dr Berg thank you for setting the standard for other doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists to follow by following an holistic approach to health with pharmaceutical intervention as a last resort for emergency cases 👍
Short answer; yes!
I most definitely agree! He is the greatest. ❤
Gardening was an ultimate game changer for me! It is the single best thing any of us can do to address, literally, all of the world's current problems! Gardening lowers stress, provides exercise, improves mental health, beautifies communities, helps the environment, is a source of healthy/real food, and provides abundance to local economies.
True! Butk right now it’s winter.
True tq
True but I live in a flat, no balcony
Adam and Eve,.. full circle
The microbes in the soil are absorbed by your body and change the serotonin and dopamine levels in your brain.
Exercise is key! As little as 30 minutes a day makes a world of difference.
be carefull, I used to lift weight and burned my CNS, results overtraining, insomnia and chronic fatigue. So as you agees, adapts the weight even if you feel you can lift musch more !!!

Cardio like running is great for releasing stress. But bodybuilding is just the opposite. Bodybuilding makes you more angry and irritable.

“Those who don’t read the paper are uninformed. Those who do read the paper are MISinformed”- Mark Twain.
As a little child, I lived through WWII in England but lost both parents. Life has been difficult for me, and if it were not for faith in GOD, I would not have made it this far. Came across your videos some time ago Dr. Berg, and your wisdom has helped me and my extended family so much. "Avoid the media" is the best advice you could possibly give, instead take that time to read the scriptures and you will be able to overcome anything. May GOD richly bless you for all the many years you have given in study on how to help people to live a healthier life. Priceless!
God bless you too.
Avoid the news!!! So true
Amen & Amen. God bless you
God bless you, too. My Mother also lived in England after the war. She’s not been back in 60+ years. I wish we could travel, but her health is challenged…as is mine. We’re going to make some changes.
And relate the news you inevitably hear to the prophetic Scriptures. You will see that the world is not falling apart, but falling into place. Trust in Jesus Christ.
“Stress is not what happens to us. It’s our response TO what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose.”
-Maureen Killoran
😊
When you are conscious you can choose the response
Don't consume the crap broo
But what happens can mess with our responses in the future.
This is not true! My father is very toxic and stresses me out daily. Even if I don't respond his negative energy that he gives off stresses me out. Real negative people give off negative energy.
I was stuck in an anxiety state for almost a year. I couldn't be around a lot of people or just little things would make me jump and make my heart rate go up and it was skipping a lot as well,so much so that I made a cardiologist appointment. I started watching you and taking the right vitamins, exercising regularly and eating better and meditating. Being outside did wonders. Thank you for your videos
What vitamins do u take??
I’d also like to know what vitamins you started to take.
All the ones Dr. Berg suggested. Magnesium, vitamin B1, Zinc, a prenatal and started eating more vegetables
Please help with your Vitamins and what specific things you did ? I'm stuck with sever Anxiety since almost last 10 years I'm wise enough to understand everything but i believe it's just my body's reaction and not my mind hence i think this is more biologically wrong with me than my thinking alone. Medical drugs destroyed me and many other things. Hence now I'm figuring things own my own and i wonder how people are doing it. I'm sure they can and i know stories that people were able to get control of these things. So yes i can too. Please help with your experience. Thank you much love and peace \m/
How to go out I can’t go out I am having panic attacks when I go out🥺
Having bills paid and the ability to do so is the absolute #1 way to keep stress at bay.
Frfr❤
Imagine beingba woman leaving rhatvto a man . Trust got lost . Men could have taken care of woman . They couldn't handle it.
@melindasmith3713 That happens a lot. Also, strange how someone can forget bills of all things.
Sometimes its not easy to reduce stress when it's the family that's causing the stress.
I know right ?! So what we should do? Avoid talking to them just for a while
@@100purepinay2 take the time you need a way from them to find your inner peace and strength which will prepare you to face future difficulties with ease ❤️
Telling someone who is stressed all the horrible things stress does to you only makes more stress.🙄
Especially when they won't move out!!!
Last May, I walked away from my mum, she has been causing me and my hubby so much stress. In the five months we didn't deal with her my stress levels decreased, my digestive issues got better as did my mood and sleep. Since last October 2022 we had to get involved again so all the issues we were having especially myself have come back and twice as bad.
Veteran with PTSD, I've been aware of my sensitivity to stress for decades, but everyone around me acts like this stress is all okay. To break out of the pattern makes us subject of ridicule for being different. Find people that think like you and enjoy life, it's too short to live it being miserable.
Very true
@d.f.9064 Thank you for your sacrifice and service, god bless you🙏
You're ok to not be ok with what others think is ok. They're wrong, you're right... end of story! The Word of God tells us to 'Guard our hearts. That include our mind. 😊
PTSD-C over here, and it feels nearly impossible to avoid stress and I've not managed to get a handle on my stress response. Even if I hide out at home, crazy stress inducing circumstances seem to always find me. Last weekend, neighbor downstairs locked their dog in a bathroom for days and it literally barked, cried, whined for 24 hours straight. Two days ago, AC went out, and was 83 inside my place for 24 hours. A couple months ago, I came home at 3am to find a strangers dog inside my home, with a closed front gate and closed door, so a stranger opened my door to let this dog into my home (I was of course majorly frightened thinking there may also be a stranger in my home as well to go along with the dog). A few months ago, a crazy neighbor lit her 30 foot high tree on fire just 25 feet from my door, and was yelling like a crazy person for 2 hours outside prior to lighting the tree on fire, and I had to call 911. I don't even live in "bad" neighborhoods, just nothing fancy. But I literally can't avoid weird super stressful things even when I hide out at home. So exhausting, and I have no clue how to avoid constant stress mode. 🤦🏼♀️
so true, as much as it may seem shallow to be just living with people who agrees with you, why do the opposite when it's just a matter of opinion at the end of the day?
As a Christian I am in this world but not of it, so no matter what, my faith and staying in God's Word is paramount to dealing with issues.
Make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it
You're not helpin' to make this earth a place sometimes called hell
You nailed it again Dr. Berg. My wife and I were having difficulty getting to sleep and staying asleep. I suggested to her that we turn off all of our electronics 2 maybe 3 hours before bedtime. Now both of us get to sleep faster and stay asleep until our dogs start crying to go outside in the morning. We can't fix the world. And on that note, I don't think the world is as broken as they say.
@Celwood....and what cause people to be broken...other people
and the ways of a society, no?

Hello what do you mean turning off all your electronics disconnect them,TV cell ?or all I'm having problems with sleeping 2 years ago very bad insomnia
exactly, some people just give us stress and negativity, to put us under pressure and fear of their own. Don't take that. Be with people who always bring peace, joy and good news.
I've had chronic stress for my entire 52 years. Now at menopause my body is revolting. My body has reached it limits.
Happy thanksgiving
Me too
I desperately needed this.
I am PhD student in pharmaceutical science and I also have Myasthenia Gravis. Stress is taking its toll on me and triggering my symptoms. This video is a treasure to me. Thanks Dr Berg.
I hope Baraa , after joining professional life you will try to follow Dr Berg , for the sake of humanity .
About the Myasthenia Graves how do you cope with and have you tried different remedies ?
I truly wish you a good health and recovery. Take care. 💖
Look into the works of Dr Dennis McKenna! And his late great brother Terence McKenna
I hear you - I did a phd and it was the single biggest mistake of my life - acadamia I’d totally negative and toxic - in the end I got out - it’s not you
This man is a devoted researcher.
Plenty love for you Dr Berg.
You’re so right. The past few years have wrecked me. I’m a completely different person. Slowly trying to get back to who I was.
I love the intelligence of this man explaining the body, the brain of mind…the soul.., the environment and how harmful the stress is on us all. I just love everything about him in his dedication to help us.
Stress and fear also lower your immune system. So before you start to stress and fear things, don't start 😀

Working in a busy, hectic environment was causing negative health effects. Now I camp every weekend with my dog and UTV and dirt bike. 40hrs a week working, 40hrs a week playing, in a totally relaxed state. No pressuure, no negative energy from others. Happy Hustle!
Sounds like a dream.
If you are living in Montana in the rural area that is a big distressing factor in itself.. I'm moving to the Philippines in a couple of months but if I do not like it I'm going out west and Montana is the first place I'm going to try.. you got the right idea for living a long happy and healthy life.. hello from south Louisiana..,🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊when the hurricanes get in the Gulf it is very stressful and not because of the wind but because of the power outage that it's going to cause if it hits where you live.. I plan on being in the Philippines this next hurricane season.. I will be living in a house on the ocean with Crystal clear Blue Waters and white sand beach as my front yard and rainforest mountains as my backyard. I can walk 15 yards to the crystal clear lagoon in my front yard and spear some fish for lunch and my Filipino companion / fiance/future wife will clean them and cook them.. now that is what I call de-stressing. We also live walking distance to a fresh vegetable fruit and seafood market.👍👍👌😎🤗
Yes that sounds awesome! Just missing the pristine fresh cleanliness of snow covering everything!! Lol 😆 good luck to you my friend!
40 hours a week? What a blessing! Be grateful. Your weekends sound amazing!
@@ozztenn I did this 6 months in a row, not missing 1 weekend of camping! And yes, I thank God almost every day!
I even don"t have TV for 16 years now on purpose and left the fb a few months ago. Living much happier, my own life. Thank you, doc, for all your videos.
Lifesaving video. I’m dumping out potassium like crazy and found it was due to high cortisol. Stress literally kills. Low potassium can kill you. Good video!!
- Excercise
- Read the Bible
- Learn something you always wanted to... mine is playing the piano and learning Spanish
- Hang out with family and friends that make you laugh
- If you can control it, avoid negative things that drain your energy and put you in a bad frame of mind or mood
- Take care of yourself, treat yourself, love yourself (make it a constant effort)
I've stopped watching the news about 1.5 years ago. Now I am sleeping better, my mood is better, and psychologically I feel much better. This is accurate
That's great!
Love all Dr Berg's tips. My main one is... get outside IN NATURE as much as possible! Almost anyone can do it, and it's the best stress relief ever.
This touches on exactly what I've been going through. I can't watch social media and especially the news anymore. Unless the message is about health , good energy or cute animals. Im effected right now. I've started walking more.
If you are having a bad day,
Try listening to these two things :
1. "What a Wonderful World" - A Song by Louis Armstrong.
2. Dr. Eric Berg's videos.
Definitely works ❤️
Well stated. I do these things. I am 74, healthy, and moving 1,500 miles to a state that is beautiful and free. I live the way he speaks about. I stopped watching the news when I was 30! I hope many people watch this and get it!
You're going to love it here in Florida!
I was thinking the same. Welcome to free Florida!
You go girl😊Keep that beautiful spirit and mind set.🥰🙏🏾🌹
Turn off the news.
I have been on a news/social media fast for the last three months and feel sooo much happier and calmer. Thank you for addressing the insanity.
I choose try not follow mainstream and alternative media and stop seeing some friends who i feel dragging me down, i feel so much better! A day without negativity and stress is for me a amazing medicine ❤
A much needed topic.
I'm mindful of what I watch, read, musical choices, and practiced meditation. Changed my environment, grew more food, and eeeeeased away from over stressed people.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. You share THE most helpful and stellar content. Had to create a category on youtube just for your content. What an impact you made on this world. Continue to have an amazing life journey.
@@jacoriadams my mom has that attitude and none of her kids mess with her and she has no friends.
@@Kboogie90 Sometimes that's just the best way to be
@@jacoriadams maybe you're right. She always gave that advice out and was always a negative and troubled person. Being alone for her is the best for everyone and may be the best thing for herself too.
@@Kboogie90 yeah I know a lot of people that be alone and they said it's the best thing for them because they say everytime they're around other people , it's always problems.
@@jacoriadams maybe it's them lol but yeah some people are meant to be isolated. If it works for them then good.
I was really upset and anxious just now. I searched Dr. Berg and within 3 minutes of this video I calmed way down. Thanks Dr. Berg for the great advice and for always delivering in such a calm and soothing tone! I really appreciate your work.
One thing that really helps me with stress it’s just learning how to sometimes stop, stop giving a f***, and let go of whatever I’m stressing about.
Everything will be okay! Have hope and faith!
I'm 23 and I've learned to live life as calmly and peacefully as a I can. Really helped me through my anxiety and social skills also.
Dr. Berg is a Rockstar! I started watching his videos for a year now and he has helped me so much!
I stopped watching any news over 2 years ago because of the insane amount of stress it caused. It made a huge difference in my life.
Dr. Berg I so appreciate you. This message spoke volumes to me. Fear can and will paralyze you. And it makes it impossible to process things and think rationally.. I have personally found to combat fear and negative thoughts I pray, and I guard what I see and what I listen to. It’s all about perspective.
Thank you Dr Berg. I’m an MD in New York (Internal Medicine) and wholeheartedly follow your wisdom and guidance on living a healthier life. Each video of yours is a gem!
I bet you are a great doctor !
I cannot watch the news. They say the same negative 💩 over and over! Idk why but when people tell me to relax my body does just the opposite. Nature does help. Thanks for this helpful information Dr. Berg!❤
I can't tell you how many problems my youth has given me! Now, I am more conservative than I was then and I feel less stressed. My motto this year is to live in joy by filling my world with good things.
Im in shock how he has clarified all the symptoms of the mental stress i have been feeling and how to get rid of it.Thank you Thank you.
I never get enough and everything you say never gets old. I actively dropping stress as I’m watching. I’m meditating while watching. Breathing in and out. I’m actually on vacation and I ruined my trip with stress and worry about everything suddenly because I’m suppose to relax. Also not in my surroundings and it’s getting best of me.
😂hope you are much More relaxed now
My therapist has me do the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method when I get overwhelmed. 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, 1 thing you can taste. The last 2 usually turn into sense memories and I end up telling her stories about my favorite smells and tastes from childhood and I'm smiling before I realize it. Then we do some box breathing and progressive muscle relaxation followed by some light Qigon tapping.
This video needs to be seen by everyone in the world. 🙏🏽
Dr berg you are amazing. Im staying conscious and surrounding myself with REAL experiences like gardening, exercise and healthy eating every day. Live life on your own terms people. Peace
a couple years ago, dr. berg did a video on bird watching. stress is killing me. tmj. insomnia. emotional eating. i just started swimming again yesterday. all the carbs and sugar in the trash. 2022 was terrible for me. thanks for the sane advice. time for a positive change.
Good health to you!
Yes! Good reminder on his video on bird watching! And on TMJ and insomnia! He’s made very helpful videos ❤
@@experimenthealthyketo83 yesterday was my first day returning to omad. things are moving forward. i have a b1 deficiency, everything is progressing. please have a great weekend.
@@fessendenful Great 👍 you too!
I stopped participating in social media and stopped watching the news over two years ago, it has helped TREMENDOUSLY. I feel so much peace in my soul, along with being a Christian and obeying the Lord. His ways are the ultimate way to live life. I still have stress, but it's relieved immensely just by cutting those two toxic things. Plus cutting half of my evil family members out of my life has helped too.
You are a saviour and such a rare soul. May god bless you. You are helping some of us helpless people who would otherwise would be lost and not know where to get the right help. Fear is the cause of a lot of problems and illnesses especially anxiety.
No sooner did Dr. Berg convince me that there's no danger lurking outside my window or in the house around me, then he spent the rest of the video convincing me that there's horrible dangerous stress reactions going on INSIDE my body...
Same 😀😀
I totally agree with everything you said. Right now I am slowly recovering from a bad case of shingles, brought on by stress from watching too much bad news, family issues, etc. I am trying to de-stress.
There is one thing I can always count on with your videos Dr. Berg - Consistent Detailed advice that saves lives and makes anyone who listens and learns from them - healthier.
I'm so glad you mentioned how watching certain video can effect our mind
You are a born leader and gifted educator. I'm sure you're patients adored you when you were in private practice. Thank you for moving your practice to a larger audience.
Can you imagine if all doctors had the time, education and willingness to do this, how different we all would be as a society?
This is great advice, I stopped watching CNN because I would get angry, watching your videos make me feel more grounded and in control, and this video made me more aware of the stressful things I have in my life and need to get rid of. Thank you Dr. Berg 🙏
Watch WION news on youtube because American news is all biased they tell you the Ukraine is winning the war when in rurality Russia is in the process of taking over many more countries after they destroy what's left of the Ukraine.
@@parkerbohnn yes, that is what I am trying to stay away from, like Trump said to Zelensky they, he and Putin both need to sit down and talk for peace but then the elections were stolen by Democrats and China, there’s the Ukraine war and our country is in horrible shape too. I don’t believe anything on the news and try to stay away for a little bit of sanity. If Russia wanted to annihilate Ukraine they could, I hope it doesn’t come to that and I don’t want Putin to get ousted, the alternative could be worse. So yeah
Good job, the media is evil
CNN is a cancer to society
CNN is garbage 🗑!!!
Great video advice.thank you dr
SO beautifully put together. I often summarise this to my patients that come for Bowen Therapy. Even though its a manual therapy it impacts and balances the Nervous system so often they notice improvement not only in posture but sleep, improved digestive system, helps regulate hormonal imbalances etc.. They often don't understand how the Bowen Therapy can have such a profound effect on the body. So good to have found you and your videos as it it great to help my patients understand. I will certainly refer your videos to some to my patients. Also if the body doesn't respond is often a gut issue. There is so much I can do during my sessions and people need to be informed to be motivated to change their lives. Thank you Dr. Berg.
I live way out away from any city, in a log home surrounded by woods. One of the best ways I’ve found to relieve stress is to split firewood. I hand split some but the sound of the hydraulic splitter and the repetitive motions take you far away. You’re heating homes, fire pits, getting exercise and getting your mind off of things. Win-win-win-win. Thanks Doc!
Lucky you
A job that has a real benefit at the end of the session
One of the best messages you have given this year. God bless you for all that you do save lives
Hands down the most helpful video I have ever seen. We need more people that advocate healthy solutions rather than pushing medicine. Thank you so much!!!
Most welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
If you never watched the news again, would you ever miss anything important to your existence?
Real
😍 This is my new fav Dr. Berg video! Usually you hear this as a convo to "reduce stressors," which often feels impossible and leaves you feeling stuck and frustrated. This perspective shift is SO hugely helpful! Simple, yet profound. Thank you Dr. B!
Dr Berg you are so right.
I turned off the TV news and did self care for the entire weekend and felt rejuvenated. Everyone must watch this video. Thanks for the science and wisdom.
You are the best of the best. This is the truth. A big thanks professor !!!
I’ve been loving sleeping more and with being pregnant I prioritize what I let into my life way more (people esp.). It’s amazing what can happen when calmness is a priority
You're truly one of my favorite content creators. You've helped me more than you'll ever know- from anxiety to postpartum. A huge THANK YOU and Happy New Year.🌹
I LOVE this video especially with what has been going on for the last 3 years. I had to really back away from all the news and doom and gloom and only keep an ear out for things that will affect my daily life.
What worries me are the things are impact be directly. I have learnt that toxic/jealous people can ruin your mental health so now i keep myself to myself and only communicate with a handful of people i really trust.I take the news/media with a pinch of salt
Thanks Dr. Berg. Much needed video espexially during this time. I believe if your surrounded with degative pessimistic people, they will create stress and anxiety. I can not deal with stress at work, home ir even with my surrounding. I always go for a long walk to relax and get my mind off of these stressful things. Now I have zero fat and more muscles.
This is such a needed video and perspective. Thanks Dr. B for always bringing the science ,the common sense, and overall great perspective on life and health. Much appreciated for what you do sir!
The world is changing to better understanding of health thanks to teachers like DR Berg.
Should be taught in every grade school.
Thank you Dr. Berg for being honest and brave. That's the example we all need in times such as these. Shalom.
Excellent summary! Thank you 🙏🏽
Happy that you found it useful!
Avoid media but be informed about what's going on around. Avoid social media if it starts affecting you. Thanks Dr. Berg for your efforts in educating.
I guess burying head in sand and be healthier?
NO Social media! GARBAGE! esp tic toc 👍
@@druannpellegrini5661 I think that often less is more. Being bombarded by the same news or 160 character Twitter posts never actually made me feel more informed.

I think I have been in danger mode my whole life because of the environment and messages I grew up with. This has disabled me in so many ways: feeling alien, not good enough no matter how much I do or how hard I try, overworking myself in work and in relationships, being too nice, giving too much , putting up with abuse... My health has massively suffered because of this and I am sure the perimenopause symptoms I have are also due to this. Even though I exercise and eat a lot of healthy foods, my cortisol levels are off the charts and the slightest 'threat' stresses me out. That defense posture you describe is my posture and no amount of exercise has fixed it. Thank you for this enlightening information. Nature, exercise by the sea, spending time outdoors daily is vital for me
I have not watched nor had a television for 20 years now and I AM a positive Soul. It starts with me 😊I attract what I AM ❤ Namaste 🙏
As a police officer, this is a much needed word today. Thank you.
God Bless you! 🙏💙🙏
Thank you for your service!
I’m extremely grateful for your content and all the benefits it’s giving me. Thank you Dr Berg!
So much truth here, thank you Dr. Berg for helping put this in perspective for the world. It's so needed. Greed is the base of it all in regards to what's happening in the world and the fear mongering.
I really needed to hear this 20 years ago; I'm now trying to heal from all the damage of massive chronic stress over many years. I heard that stress can have negative affect on the body but no one at that time could explain how. :(

Do you have memory or cognitive decline form the stress?
I am wondering if my inability to feel, think, or remember is related to years of chronic stress.
Great video, for decades I’ve been using exercise to fight stress and it definitely works ! As an added bonus it keeps my waist at 32 inches.
Just listening to your videos is comforting... Over the last year I have been doing what yiu have just mentioned and it has made a world of difference
Wow, you are spot on with this video! I am seeing people posting videos of how they feel fed up with the world that they are living in today. Change is easy and imminent if they would start by changing their environment and get moving. Thank you for your videos Dr. Berg .
I shared this on Facebook. I find the workers shortage is making our jobs more intense and stressful and managers want us to keep up or get out.
Agree! Management doesn't pitch just sit in offices while we do the work, more work with less people. I still take breaks to keep my sanity and physical health as well. We need to take care of ourselves, nobody else will!
Great advice, as always. The media is motivated to be a stress monger.
We appreciate your research and sharing your findings with us in a caring way.
High Cortisol sets us all up for the next pandemic.
You're such a clued up doctor. God bless you
I was having fast heart rate and some heart palpitations before watching this video. All that stopped and I feel so calm and relaxed now that I watched this video. I just want to thank you Dr. Berg this really helped me
Same. It worked instantly.
This makes so much sense to me looking back at highly stressful situations in my past. I'm going to work at adding exercise, green tea and shifting my perspective now. Thank you Dr. Berg! I started watching you last week, started OMAD 3 days ago and already lost 6 lbs and even my face looks better already!!
What is OMAD?

Добрый вечер, доктор Берг!знайте вы помогаете не только своему народу, но и многие чеченцы на вас подписаны. Кто бы мог подумать. Благодарю за полезную информацию 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That’s seriously awesome 👏
I am working on cutting out stress. The news is depressing, so I watch something wholesome or funny. Staying away from negative people (for me, its family). Its also helped me quite a bit now that I am working from home part time. My heart palpitations are almost gone! Doing something or being nice to someone else who really appreciates your kindness is another boost. You're so right about the fear mongering that goes on. Its so out of control. Love your videos!
For me personally, the main source of stress was thinking that I have to accomplish as much as possible in a day or that things are urgent, they just have to be done. I was constantly speeding through every task. I was constantly thinking of the next thing I have to do. But one day it clicked : that’s not why I live and that’s not what I live for. I live to enjoy my life with the people I love. I started to embrace a slow living lifestyle and I feel totally different. I stoped rushing and I try to do everything with enjoyment and at my own natural pace. So what if something remains undone? Not the most important things like eating and taking care of my children, but so what if the house is not perfectly clean? Me being calm and happy is more important!
I also try to avoid stress coming from other sources. I don’t watch the news. I take care of my mind, to feed it positive and good things.
You sounded like myself. Thanks for your advice.. I will take it!!
Dr Eric Berg, you're genuinely the only person I follow on TH-cam. Live changing advice.
