    Root/core issue for me was an abusive x husband...lived in flight or fight mode for years...he was seriously slowly killing me and my adrenal fatigure and lack of cortisol production were my signs. I left -healed my body and becoming better and better every day. People don't talk about this enough when it comes to relationships - you must leave them in order to heal not only your mind but your body as well.

      Wayne Rogers for muscle atrophy, joints...check into acupressure. I had neurologists, all kinds of specialists making money on tests or whatsoever attest that I am close to a paraplegic and there is no need to test again. Accidentally in Singapore I ran into a reflexologist who after an hour rubbing at one same location in between toes, I walked out with no pain for the rest of my life. I didn't know Keto then and many acupressure practitioners are vegetarians eating one meal a day. I vowed never go back to those specialists, only listen to Dr Eikberg, my favorite and practice acupressure daily besides the list of things shown on this video. Life is perfect and I'm grateful. Check out the temples. The monks are not there to make money. You have to see their practice to believe. Know that they can show you how to cure because they believe if anything comes back within 6 months then they did not cure anything. Trust me, you will be cured.

    This is an under rated video that deserves alot of views and focus to anybody dealing with psychological issues as well. After an year of anxiety and another year of medication and still getting those bursts.. learning and practicing things that actually helped me. All of it is summed up here , I'm yet to try more of nutrients like magnesium, but exercise, focus on gut health, breathing (box, sudarshan kriya) if stress is like fire, all these are like water shower, though we think how are they gonna help with stress, they are not addressing the cause of stress ...but these are magical things that changes our view, or equips us to handle things with ease. I wish I had seen this video earlier.

    My husband has a high stress job and gets very little sleep. He had two major episodes that really scared him so we got bloodwork done. It showed his A1c was 5.8. He immediately went off of sugars and carbs not coming from vegetables and started working on sleeping and breathing. It has been 3 weeks and he still gets shaky when his blood sugar drops. Thank you for all of this information. We are hopeful that things will improve soon.

    I used to manage a health supplement shop, and ginseng was marketed to us as an energising agent that stimulates the body, like caffeine in many ways. It can cause diarrhoea, insomnia, headaches, rapid heartbeat, blood pressure fluctuations, and more. To anyone reading this, please be careful with ginseng, especially if you haven’t used it before. Personally, I wouldn’t use it for stress, especially if you suffer from anxiety to any degree.
    Some studies seem to say it might be useful in treating stress and regulating certain body rhythms, but from years of personal experience in dealing with customers who have tried it, it appears the opposite is often true. It makes many people’s bodies react as if they are in fight or flight mode. Very stress inducing!
