Why is belly fat so difficult to lose? Diet and intermittent fasting may help, but chronically high cortisol can make weight loss much more difficult, especially when stress and poor sleep are involved.
🌟 Take the 2-minute Health Lever Quiz:
Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements.
Here are some of the best ways to help lower cortisol:
• Take a daily walk, especially after eating
• Stay off your phone and allow your mind to relax while walking
• Keep your bedroom between 65 and 69°F
• Stop eating at least three hours before bed
• Dim the lights two hours before bedtime
• Get at least 30 minutes of morning sunlight to support your circadian rhythm
Reducing stress and improving sleep can help your fat-burning hormones work more effectively and make it easier to lose belly fat.

Dr Berg I am 61 been retired for about five years. Been a mailman for 35 years retired early to help my mom out and every time I eat I have no energy. I feel so sleepy and I’m starting to get to point where I’ve been so isolated just through certain events that have happened to me in 2025 and I’m starting to get over it but I just don’t have a really good appetite and my stomach kind of like balloon Sup feels like I’m it swells up and diet is very bad. I’m trying to get out more and more exercise. I’m usually out every night with my dog doing about a mile or two but I’ve just lost so much strength and energy. I’m 6 foot 240 and I feel like I’m in the worst shape I’ve ever been. I just wanna lose the weight, but I don’t know why my energy is gone. Could it be low T?
Meno belly is real 😢
Me too I just doing diet and exercise but I don't lost weight must be something off
❤❤❤❤
You obviously don't live in the North West of England. Its pretty difficult to get sunlight in your eyes when its raining most of the time 😢

Hehe watching you at 3:40 in the morning 😊
Thank you Doctor Berg
Make your body a fat burning machine. Keto as dr berg recommends . Though I applied the old keto of 22 or 20 years ago. 60-80% of daily nutrition is good saturated fat. It’s the body’s and the brain’s preferred fuel.
Coconut oil, grass-fed butter, red meat fat, broth, fatty red meat, eggs, grass fed dairy, organ meats.
Fasting. Interesting fasting. When hungry I eat butter, or tablespoon coconut oil , then fruit.
When body is used to burning fat, even when you lapse and gained weight — return col turkey to eating mostly fat and good fatty food, body adjusts instantly. You just shrink.
my sleep has been awful lately and anxiety has been through the roof
Dr Berg, since listening and watching your videos my life has changed drastically and surprisingly quickly. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤
Still can't get sleep
Dr Berg how do you lower cortisol for someone who works third shift? I sleep during the day and work 10 hrs at night. Help please.
Sect leader. Stay away
Thank you Dr Berg.

Dr.
Im watching this past midnight 🥺 😂& it's been years not sleeping chronic addiction to YT and coffee ☕️ . And the temp had been over 90°
Been running the AC, so raising room temp down to 78° is lucky/ had been costly enough. 😢
1:22 omg my dead wife
This Dr is the best!
Dr Bergm 3rd shift nurse for 7 yrs. Do I do the 15 min sunlight after work and then go to bed within an hour or so? Will it help or hurt my sleep? Thank you
Well, too bad cause i work night shift. I guess there's no chance for us to lose belly fat..
This is true i’m doing fasting and I’m doing it because of my menopause hormonal situation in my inflammation and the fluid I mean it’s working it’s good but I do eat whatever I want in my open window and then I walk so I’m gonna keep up this lifestyle I really like the fasting situation. Yes I try not to stress myself because I do get bloated when I stress out so I do calmly go to sleep with the lights off and don’t let anything bother me. I put music in my ears when I walk so that also comes down.
Great advice, will be put into practice
But I'm a nightowl😥
Walking and talking to God has done wonders for me!!
I eat 3 bal meals a day so I have to walk 3 times a day, or after largest meal?
Thank you again.
Too much stressfull in life won't let it possible. Tax and bill 😂 running up and down for the government 😮 night shift. Anyway I'm still trying my best even with all these. Weighing 65kg with lean muscle. 😊
Dr. Berg I wake up every night ever so often to pee in the middle of the night, almost once every hour. I have seen a specialist but the prescription (Dutestride & Betmiga) isn’t doing much to help. I’m pretty sure this frequent waking up will affect my sleep quality and lead to higher cortisol.
Is there anything I can do to stop the feeling of needing to pee at night? It’s driving me crazy……
I could never sleep at 69 degrees. I live in Fort Lauderdale and keep the AC at 78 which is comfortable for me.
I’m so grateful for Dr. Berg
This is so true,thanks
This is the best
Any other alternative suggestions for walking ? I have horrible bone on bone arthritic knees unfortunately and sit mostly to avoid pain 😢
