So complete and for me so timely, thank you for your fantastic work! Would you have a video that puts together how to deal with colon cancer? I understand keto + cortisol management (this one! 💓) + cruciferous vegetables + antioxidants -, what else?
@Dr. Sten Ekberg Do you have this video but with spanish subtitles? my mom doesn't know english and i wanted to show your video but i did click on CC but there is only arabic and english.
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.
Stress causes you excess cortisol, not a lack of, just so you understand, cortisol in excess is stress, , I'm glad you broke free, and hope you do well now .

Screaming helps too. I bike to de-compress and de-stress. I live near DC National Airport and one time I was too stressed out and for a moment I thought I was going to "lose it". I was riding on a bike path right along the airport, I stopped briefly and just screamed at the top of my lungs. Nobody can hear you because of the airplanes engines noise, so I just composed myself, I immediately felt better, and kept on a much happier bike ride. Good exercise screaming 😄
Thank you for this learning aid. It helps me learn how to relax after a lifetime of bottling up my stress 🤐. Evening out my blood glucose is my favorite.
I grew up with an alcoholic father codependent mom. It left me in a fearful state for many years. I didn't learn to turn off all negative triggers until type 2 diabetes! Thank you DR for the incredible information and delivery. You are giving me hope and encouragement ty❤❤🌠🙏
Dr Ekberg, You are the first person I've ever heard say that the Frontal Lobe turns off the Stress Response. I suffered a Brain Injury in 1994, now dealing with Anxiety and Panic ever since. And after 28 years I now have Adrenal Fatigue and Cushings.

Stress has been the number one challenge of my life. This video has given me more insight into what I have to do to regain my health than almost anything else I've been exposed to. Although I've lost almost 40 pounds on a keto diet, I'm not truly healthy unless I learn how to deal with chronic stress. Thanks so much Dr. Eckberg!
Brilliant! Brilliant! Since 1986, when my father died I had been training Malaysian executives on stress management. I retired in 2001 when my husband died. Man! do I know about grief as a stressor. Dr Eberg, you are the best ! Well done! You are so knowledgeable and communicate your ideas so well. I have been listening to you for the past week and truly you are the best.
Years ago my weight got out of control, and my blood sugar, when I worked overnights. I could not lose an ounce of weight back then. I’m sure it was cortisol, and not just insulin/ T2D. I am still working on decreasing stress, glad to have found these videos!!
I absolutely agree with what you've said. Give yourself a liberty to avoid people who make you feel bad and the people who pull you down they are great stressors.
💥 I'm turning blind by high cortisol level. CSR - Central Serous Retinopathy is a terrible disease caused by excessive cortisol and stress. My left eye is almost lost, and the right one has dark spots at the center. It's in a chronic state now for 16 years. And since last month, I'm on a descend spiral. Every I do worsens the situation, I almost can't sleep anymore, I'm overwhelmed, too much worried about everything, depressed, anxious. This video came on the right time. Thank God ! 🎉❤

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.
I keep my cortisol levels down by limiting my consumption of caffeine, sugar or alcohol to a minimum, And walking, hiking, meditation and rest. But I am human and succumb 🧐 to inflammatory foods sometimes. Thanks for your excellent presentations.
I went to a lavender festival in cherry valley ca...this festival was located within close proximity to acres of lavender fields...just the continuous scent of lavender was enough to keep me calm and so contented through the day.
These video presentations are rich in content. The delivery is calm without putting me to sleep. The information is concise & to the point which provides a comprehensive understanding, making it more likely to retain the info. Last but not least, no annoying commercial interruptions!! 🙏
Solution Nr.10 -reading can easily be done with your wonderful educational videos. You have already changed my life and I`m very very grateful to you for that. Thank you ! 👍👍👍😊
Topic: As an Olympic Decathlete and Holistic Doctor, you would know about, and have personal experience, this. Strength building in conjunction with a ketogenic nutritional program. My personal interest in this is diagnoses of MS and Type 2 Diabetes. I've lowered A1C from 12.9 to 6.4 in 10 weeks, gone from 250 to 185 lbs in 5 months (since March) and feel like I can start to exercise now (and have started 30-minute, overall body, resistance band workout) to overcome muscle atrophy in right leg, neuropathy in feet, overall weakness, etc. Seeing many positive results already
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.
Good morning Dr. Ekberg, I just want to say thank you for teaching these things, I learned a lot especially on topics of IF, healthy eating, and weight loss. I myself already loss 6.5 kg since i started IF 3-4 weeks ago 😊💕. My BMI was 30.7 last Aug.10, 2021 and now its down to 28.6 Oct.4, 2021… I hope I can reach the healthy level….🙏😊 Please continue doing this, you are helping many people…. sincerely, Charlie from Philippines 🇵🇭 😊💕
This is outstanding a person who dealing with chronic stress & anxiety , looking out for solutions got such nice advise from such great person you make my morning & you make my day.

Hello, i just have discovered your videos a few days ago, and i already watched several of them. I love the way you explain concepts, so calm, clear, very easy to understand. Best Regards from the caribbean 🇩🇴🌴☀️
I picked up weight after my son was senselessly murdered. I just beat cancer (caused by stress) and I’m still gaining weight. I watch what I eat, I’ve been drinking water, walking, went to the doctor and gained 3 pounds, which is adding to more stress and depression. I don’t know how to let go. We didn’t even get efficient justice. I internalized it. I’ve been to counseling…This is horrible! I’m super petite. I’ve never been this big in my life
Dr. Ekberg I am a vegetarian for 14 years plus vegan for 4 years but with this video you inspired me to buy nutritional yeast and make a vegan chease sauce, I am so grateful
Best info I've got so far about cortisol and solutions to reduce it. I'm struggling with insomnia and get really anxious during the day and night to sleep. It would be great to have a video about insomnia. Thanks a lot for the tips though.
Try putting 2-3 drops of 100% lavender essential oil (with no fillers) on about two tissues and stuff them in your pillowcase. You will be amazed at how much it relaxes your mind, before you know it you’ll be off to lala land.

I've been doing this intermittent fasting this quarantine. But these trying times are also stressful, that's why I wake up in the middle of the night. Thanks for explaining and for your tips, Doc!
Thank you so much for this. I've been searching so long for some in-depth answers to the cortisol problem. I've been doing a strict keto diet and monitoring of my calories, macros, and weight and have been frustrated to have stalls in progress after I've had a highly stressful week. The only metric that had changed was the stress level.
This video has explained much for me at 66 carrying weight but also shows me how to assist my heart out of not one but two episodes of takosubo syndrome which has had me on beta blockers which have slowed down my energy levels. Have just taken myself off the beta blockers. Introduced small yoga stretches every 2nd day. Thank you.
Saying this after months spent watching multiple channels and videos relating to health and nutrition: Dr. Sten Ekberg is more trust worthy than many popular speakers out there (don't want to name names). I have yet to find a biased or false statement, which I would find in others'. No doctor is perfect, but I find Dr. Ekberg creates very thorough, reliable content.
This presentation is a master piece of Dr Ekberg .so clear and perfect solutions explained for controlling and preventing and reducing adrenal stress ..simply Superb ..Thank u sir lots of regards from India.
Heard much about negative effects of cortisol but never had such a complete guide on this important subject that affects health. Not long i tumbled on your videos and find your presentations VERY fulfilling indeed. Maybe because of your teaching method that I personally admire as a teacher myself. Thanks doc and keep it up
Vilken underbar video! Folk har aldrig fattat varför jag inte vill ta del av hög intensiva träningspass utan insisterar på att simma och gå långa promenader i naturen istället. Detta förklarar det perfekt.
Before: MAYBE I'll watch this one. During: He's got me taking notes again. 😁 But seriously, Doctor, thank you for such beneficial information and for the organized way you present it to us, which seems to even be perfect for my ADHD brain. 🥰
WOW, that was the MOST complete, informative and comprehensive video I've seen on stress and stressreduction - EVER - and I have seen A LOT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH😄😄😄😄
@@drekberg Thank you sir, for immediately making the change that I've suggested; you'll notice that I've deleted that comment since it has been changed. You're a real gem! Thank you again and God bless 🙏🙏🙏
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.
@@scottp6761 plzzz help me doc, i am having 3 times a day blood sugar drop cause of stress Plzzzz say how can i cure this I am scread 🙂🙂 Plzzzzz help me
I am a german woman with kPTSD. This video helped me understand, why it is so difficult for me to loose weight. The sympathikus needs me to eat carbohydrates to have sufficient glucose for fight or flight situations which I cannnot avoid. What I learned is, that I need to activate the parasympathikus. Thank you for your advice. Maybe you could make a video especially for PTSD concerns?
Thank you very much! I recently found out I have adrenal hyperplasia and always felt something was not quite right. You have a nice, clear, soothing voice and presentation. I will try your suggestions. Frank
Dr. Ekberg - your last 3 videos were just what I was wondering about, even in the same order! It’s like you can read my mind! Your explanation is always on point, you really care about educating people, and you are not trying to SELL any supplements with your face on it! I’m very interested in health subjects to maintain the quality of life, and you are now officially Number 1 TH-cam channel I follow. Since I’m a very picky lady and value my time - it means: Congratulations!!! 🥇🥇🥇 Thank you for all your knowledge you are sharing! Everyone needs to watch it!!!
Thanks Dr.! This was so helpful. I'm 26 and I'm recovering from hormonal/metabolic dysfunction from 7 years of undereating/overexcising and poor stress management. I'm learning so much on this journey. I thought I was doing everything right by eating SUPER "clean" and eliminating carbs and red meats and fats and working out vigorously 5x or more a week. I'm learning now that less is more
This is tremendously helpful in my understanding of stress and how to help myself because it helps me UNDERSTAND my stress better. Thank you! Understanding our own stress is our way to control it without having to depend on drugs or other addictions to find find temporary relief. This man understands stress more deeply and is not just telling us "what to do" and then blaming us for what we didn't do. He is asking us to understand our individual stressors and gain the power to over-come them with mastery of them with our OWN power. It's about NOT being a victim anymore to our world. We have the power to overcome our negative world and thrive in mind, 🧠body, 👫 and spirit. 👻
I love to have a pet like a small dog but cannot afford it. Going to church to gather with other people and putting charity to practice helps. I also need to laugh 😂 more. I am a single parent and I feel I am always on a go! I love nature walks with sun ☀️ hitting my face plus fasting is great! But, Lord help me !! Calm down a bit 😂 I can get overwhelmed at times with work and my kids! Thanks for this awesome video very appreciated!
Thank you for this video. I know my life has allot of stress in it. i am totally blind and pretty much operating in the world alone. I have emotional issues from childhood that i deal with along witPTSD and Depression and anxiety. So these tips help me so much to create a new lifestyle for myself. I would be interested in hearing more about the whole Adrenal massage techniques as well as the nutrients, herbs and minerals that could help calm me down. how to take them, how much do i use, etc; would be helpful. Also more info on the flower remedies would be great as well. thank you for all your work through these videos.
I love you to do a video on sleep and the aged more thoroughly. I am nearly 80 and although Matt Walker is one of the best on the topic, I really would love you to do a video on sleep and the aged. I have just discovered you two weeks ago so maybe you have done a sleep and aged video and if so, can you direct me to it. Thank you so much for your dedication to our health.
The first half of your talk is super scientific - which is challenging, but necessary:) The second half totally rocks my world! It’s so full of perfect advice and suggestions! Thank you once again Dr./Sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
I love the way you explain EVERYTHING….after listening to YOU speak … I understand…ty so much for sharing everything with us&&& I LOVE ❤️ YOUR VOICE…it’s so calming!!!😊😊😊
This was the first time I was able to focus on an informational video of this length and I was able to stay with you without wandering off in my mind. May this course find all those who need it.
Since I am an audio-visual learner, your videos are really good for me to understand what and how to do in order to help myself metabolic wise. 😊 I understood a lot about how my body phisicly working, when studying anatomy preparing for my masseour exam. When I saw the structure of how muscles, joints and all the ligaments are built I immediately understood how and why they work, what harms them physically and what to do to help them work better and heal. Thank you for your work.
Can you pls address if stress/anger increases your risk of cancer? Also, how do hormones affect mental dx (ie. depression, bipolar disorder, etc.)? Thank you so much for your detailed explanations ❤️
I have only recently found your videos but it has changed my life. I really like knowing the facts and figures and reasons behind things. I have two severe autoimmune illnesses and I am post menopause and even so applying the things you shared I am healthier and my weight has dropped substantially. One thing I do in addition is drink a gallon of water a day. I would love it if you would do a video on the importance of water.
What a great video. Helps me a lot to understand what went wrong with my body over decades and what to do about it. One thing that I'd realy like to understand better and therefore wishing for a separate video, is how to revert gastroparesis, potentially originating from insulin resistance and cortisol.

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.
12:13 Stabilizing blood sugar, Chromium Picolinate with B-6, and minerals worked wonders for me.
Test for b6 before supplementing. Mine goes from too high to too low
Best to supplement with magnesium malate and chromium polynicotinate along with meals to stabilize blood sugar...
Berberine may be helpful. Apparently it stimulates AMP in the cell which helps glucose metabolism in the cells.
How,,,
What minerals
I'm not english from birth, but I understand 100% of your speech, you have a talking skills and you explain so good! thank you
He's not talking,,, he's speaking,,,
Me too, fantastic man , really , I like his video and voice so much
no one is english from birth xd. people become english when they eat fish and fries
I keep my cortisol levels down by limiting my consumption of caffeine, sugar or alcohol to a minimum, And walking, hiking, meditation and rest. But I am human and succumb 🧐 to inflammatory foods sometimes. Thanks for your excellent presentations.
Absolutely the best vid on adrenal fatigue I've ever seen. Thanks doc, you rock!
Adrenal fatigue is when your adrenals can't produce more cortisol. It's different. 👍
I went to a lavender festival in cherry valley ca...this festival was located within close proximity to acres of lavender fields...just the continuous scent of lavender was enough to keep me calm and so contented through the day.
Wow, sounds amazing.
The very best online summary on what for me has been a life-long issue: informed and articulate. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
Finally, I now understand why I can’t sleep or stay still or focussed when fasting . Thanks
I break my OMAD fast daily by watching any of your videos, best Brain Stimulus ever!
I wish they could teach like you in med school. Very simplified without the useless information overload. Nice job Dr. Ekberg!🙏
Useless talk about not knowing. Med schools confuse busyness with knowledge & accomplishment.
Or Grade School
This is not a school, college, or university.
Learn to hand out drugs for the pharma companies.
You’re an amazing adviser, lecturer & absolutely perfect for me. You’re voice is so calming. God bless u always Doc.
Dr. Sten, my doctor advised me to take fish oil after my total hysterectomy. What kind of fish oil is best? Of good quality. Thank u.
Huge respect from India, the land of ancient wisdom...Vivek 🙏
You are a Godsend...Wish u Godspeed...
These video presentations are
rich in content. The delivery is calm without putting me to sleep. The information is concise & to the point which provides a comprehensive understanding, making it more likely to retain the info. Last but not least, no annoying commercial interruptions!! 🙏
we get enough of these comments
I think you are a very kind person to give us all this valuable information, thank you.from the bottom of my heart.
Agree
Solution Nr.10 -reading can easily be done with your wonderful educational videos. You have already changed my life and I`m very very grateful to you for that. Thank you ! 👍👍👍😊
I have finally understood why i have some of my health problems. Thank you!
Quintessential advice for holistic health. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
Topic: As an Olympic Decathlete and Holistic Doctor, you would know about, and have personal experience, this. Strength building in conjunction with a ketogenic nutritional program.
My personal interest in this is diagnoses of MS and Type 2 Diabetes. I've lowered A1C from 12.9 to 6.4 in 10 weeks, gone from 250 to 185 lbs in 5 months (since March) and feel like I can start to exercise now (and have started 30-minute, overall body, resistance band workout) to overcome muscle atrophy in right leg, neuropathy in feet, overall weakness, etc. Seeing many positive results already
Good job!!!
Inspiring!
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.
Great job, Wayne. I am dealing with many of the same issues.
What is it this crazy habit of not eating carbs ? Carbs are not the problem.
Good morning Dr. Ekberg, I just want to say thank you for teaching these things, I learned a lot especially on topics of IF, healthy eating, and weight loss. I myself already loss 6.5 kg since i started IF 3-4 weeks ago 😊💕. My BMI was 30.7 last Aug.10, 2021 and now its down to 28.6 Oct.4, 2021… I hope I can reach the healthy level….🙏😊 Please continue doing this, you are helping many people…. sincerely, Charlie from Philippines 🇵🇭 😊💕
This is outstanding a person who dealing with chronic stress & anxiety , looking out for solutions got such nice advise from such great person you make my morning & you make my day.
You make complex phenomena simple without talking down to the viewer, way to go!
What an amazing trainer. What a wonderful way to make someone understand complex topics easily.
Needed this when I was in the military. Thanks for this great presentation!!!!!
Crying releases cortisol and tension too!
I'm very gentle and sensitive person who cannot cry 😪

Thank you for this video fo us fellow health champions! I would like to know more about which foods contain Vit B1and B5 please 🙏
thank you
Stress is just another word for fear. And fear is almost always a response to an exaggerated threat.
Sun/light exposure, calming music, human touch, warmth could be added to the list
Thank you for this. I've been grieving for several years, and this is helpful.
So have I hun. Many years. Time for us to move past it. Big (hug)
Reading the Holy Bible has made a significant difference in my stress levels and way of life through its teachings
I picked up weight after my son was senselessly murdered. I just beat cancer (caused by stress) and I’m still gaining weight. I watch what I eat, I’ve been drinking water, walking, went to the doctor and gained 3 pounds, which is adding to more stress and depression. I don’t know how to let go. We didn’t even get efficient justice. I internalized it. I’ve been to counseling…This is horrible! I’m super petite. I’ve never been this big in my life
Please take the time out to heal your self. You may find you are punishing yourself x
My heart goes out to you, I hope you are in a better place nowadays
Take care ❤.
Condolences for the loss
Love and light❤💫
Dr. Ekberg I am a vegetarian for 14 years plus vegan for 4 years but with this video you inspired me to buy nutritional yeast and make a vegan chease sauce, I am so grateful
Best info I've got so far about cortisol and solutions to reduce it. I'm struggling with insomnia and get really anxious during the day and night to sleep. It would be great to have a video about insomnia. Thanks a lot for the tips though.
Try putting 2-3 drops of 100% lavender essential oil (with no fillers) on about two tissues and stuff them in your pillowcase. You will be amazed at how much it relaxes your mind, before you know it you’ll be off to lala land.
Magnesium lysinate!
This is not just Health advice. This is key wellness at his best. Thanks very much.

Just knowing about hie ny body works and what is TRULY HEALTHY is the best thing that lowers my cortisol
Hi Doctor, I watch your videos daily. Learning a lot and have already reduced 5kg from IF, HIIT + OMAD in 2mths. Thank u for your teachings.
I appreciate the time and effort you've dedicated to mastering the art of articulation. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thank you so much for this. I've been searching so long for some in-depth answers to the cortisol problem. I've been doing a strict keto diet and monitoring of my calories, macros, and weight and have been frustrated to have stalls in progress after I've had a highly stressful week. The only metric that had changed was the stress level.
The best stress reduction program, and watching Dr. Ekberg is so calming.
This video has explained much for me at 66 carrying weight but also shows me how to assist my heart out of not one but two episodes of takosubo syndrome which has had me on beta blockers which have slowed down my energy levels. Have just taken myself off the beta blockers. Introduced small yoga stretches every 2nd day. Thank you.
Saying this after months spent watching multiple channels and videos relating to health and nutrition: Dr. Sten Ekberg is more trust worthy than many popular speakers out there (don't want to name names). I have yet to find a biased or false statement, which I would find in others'. No doctor is perfect, but I find Dr. Ekberg creates very thorough, reliable content.
You don't want to name names because you can't remember their names,,,
@@lightbeingpontifex You are living in your own tiny world with a tiny little mind.
This presentation is a master piece of Dr Ekberg .so clear and perfect solutions explained for controlling and preventing and reducing adrenal stress ..simply Superb ..Thank u sir lots of regards from India.
#1 Should be avoid negative people that make you feel bad. Yes you still can love and pray from a distance.
Please do..atleast try
Heard much about negative effects of cortisol but never had such a complete guide on this important subject that affects health. Not long i tumbled on your videos and find your presentations VERY fulfilling indeed. Maybe because of your teaching method that I personally admire as a teacher myself. Thanks doc and keep it up
Vilken underbar video! Folk har aldrig fattat varför jag inte vill ta del av hög intensiva träningspass utan insisterar på att simma och gå långa promenader i naturen istället. Detta förklarar det perfekt.
Before: MAYBE I'll watch this one.
During: He's got me taking notes again. 😁
But seriously, Doctor, thank you for such beneficial information and for the organized way you present it to us, which seems to even be perfect for my ADHD brain. 🥰
He does that to me, too 🤣 I feel like I'm back at University

Vielen Dank, Dr. Sten immer wieder eine Freude ihren Vortrag anzuhören. Sie sind Leuchtfeuer menschlicher Vernunft.
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.
Have some saltines on hand for him. Im the same way.
He could try DIM 100mg. It helps cortisol and high estrogen.
@@scottp6761 plzzz help me doc, i am having 3 times a day blood sugar drop cause of stress
Plzzzz say how can i cure this

I am a german woman with kPTSD. This video helped me understand, why it is so difficult for me to loose weight. The sympathikus needs me to eat carbohydrates to have sufficient glucose for fight or flight situations which I cannnot avoid. What I learned is, that I need to activate the parasympathikus. Thank you for your advice. Maybe you could make a video especially for PTSD concerns?
Thank you very much! I recently found out I have adrenal hyperplasia and always felt something was not quite right. You have a nice, clear, soothing
voice and presentation. I will try your suggestions. Frank
I love your videos .
All of them are very helpful !
Thank you very much !❤
Dr. Ekberg - your last 3 videos were just what I was wondering about, even in the same order! It’s like you can read my mind!
Your explanation is always on point, you really care about educating people, and you are not trying to SELL any supplements with your face on it!
I’m very interested in health subjects to maintain the quality of life, and you are now officially Number 1 TH-cam channel I follow. Since I’m a very picky lady and value my time - it means: Congratulations!!! 🥇🥇🥇
Thank you for all your knowledge you are sharing! Everyone needs to watch it!!!
Thanks Dr.! This was so helpful. I'm 26 and I'm recovering from hormonal/metabolic dysfunction from 7 years of undereating/overexcising and poor stress management. I'm learning so much on this journey. I thought I was doing everything right by eating SUPER "clean" and eliminating carbs and red meats and fats and working out vigorously 5x or more a week. I'm learning now that less is more
This is tremendously helpful in my understanding of stress and how to help myself because it helps me UNDERSTAND my stress better. Thank you! Understanding our own stress is our way to control it without having to depend on drugs or other addictions to find find temporary relief. This man understands stress more deeply and is not just telling us "what to do" and then blaming us for what we didn't do. He is asking us to understand our individual stressors and gain the power to over-come them with mastery of them with our OWN power. It's about NOT being a victim anymore to our world. We have the power to overcome our negative world and thrive in mind, 🧠body, 👫 and spirit. 👻
I love to have a pet like a small dog but cannot afford it. Going to church to gather with other people and putting charity to practice helps. I also need to laugh 😂 more. I am a single parent and I feel I am always on a go! I love nature walks with sun ☀️ hitting my face plus fasting is great! But, Lord help me !! Calm down a bit 😂 I can get overwhelmed at times with work and my kids! Thanks for this awesome video very appreciated!

Thank you for this video. I know my life has allot of stress in it. i am totally blind and pretty much operating in the world alone. I have emotional issues from childhood that i deal with along witPTSD and Depression and anxiety. So these tips help me so much to create a new lifestyle for myself.
I would be interested in hearing more about the whole Adrenal massage techniques as well as the nutrients, herbs and minerals that could help calm me down. how to take them, how much do i use, etc; would be helpful. Also more info on the flower remedies would be great as well. thank you for all your work through these videos.
Praying for u hon. 🙏🙏🙏
I love you to do a video on sleep and the aged more thoroughly. I am nearly 80 and although Matt Walker is one of the best on the topic, I really would love you to do a video on sleep and the aged. I have just discovered you two weeks ago so maybe you have done a sleep and aged video and if so, can you direct me to it. Thank you so much for your dedication to our health.
The first half of your talk is super scientific - which is challenging, but necessary:) The second half totally rocks my world! It’s so full of perfect advice and suggestions! Thank you once again Dr./Sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
I love the way you explain EVERYTHING….after listening to YOU speak … I understand…ty so much for sharing everything with us&&& I LOVE ❤️ YOUR VOICE…it’s so calming!!!😊😊😊
Spectacular cocktail of concepts and solutions that clarifies ideas and avoids a lot of stress.
This was the first time I was able to focus on an informational video of this length and I was able to stay with you without wandering off in my mind. May this course find all those who need it.
Since I am an audio-visual learner, your videos are really good for me to understand what and how to do in order to help myself metabolic wise. 😊 I understood a lot about how my body phisicly working, when studying anatomy preparing for my masseour exam. When I saw the structure of how muscles, joints and all the ligaments are built I immediately understood how and why they work, what harms them physically and what to do to help them work better and heal. Thank you for your work.
I love your videos. You are an amazing teacher ❤
Can you pls address if stress/anger increases your risk of cancer? Also, how do hormones affect mental dx (ie. depression, bipolar disorder, etc.)?
Thank you so much for your detailed explanations ❤️
I totally understand you. I like having better direction and am happy to be more organized.
I have only recently found your videos but it has changed my life. I really like knowing the facts and figures and reasons behind things. I have two severe autoimmune illnesses and I am post menopause and even so applying the things you shared I am healthier and my weight has dropped substantially. One thing I do in addition is drink a gallon of water a day. I would love it if you would do a video on the importance of water.
What a great video. Helps me a lot to understand what went wrong with my body over decades and what to do about it. One thing that I'd realy like to understand better and therefore wishing for a separate video, is how to revert gastroparesis, potentially originating from insulin resistance and cortisol.
Whenever I do the Hitt excercises my body feels very relaxed..
