Nice thanks!
Thank you for this video! How much green tea does it take per day to get a good result?
I like to mention here that the herb or supplement ashwagandha significantly lowers cortisol and some other type of adaptogens or adaptogenic herbs like rhodiola, reishi mushrooms. But i must say that if you have way too low cortisol it can also cause emotional numbness where you cant feel any emotions thus leading to depression and low motivation. I believe ashwagandha doesn't really lower cortisol but actually depletes cortisol, as people who have taken it like myself experience feeling very empty headed like i cant feel my emotions and it is not a good feeling it make you feel so depressed you will want to die. Seriously. I would never suggest ashwaghanda to anyone. They claim it will make you feel calm yes but at the cost of completely feeling emotionally numb like you been chemically lobotomized. I just had to put it out there. that if you want to lower cortisol i would not recommend ashwagandha or these other adaptogenic herbs they will numb you so bad. You will never feel the same again
Nuts make you fatter though ? You can’t have just five etc
The problem with green tea is, I don't like the taste 😞
I can't recall if I already asked this question here cuz I didn't write it down n I've been to a few sites so bear with me please. Has anyone ever had their supplements just stop working that I believe it is from Cortisol from what I've read. But even my prescriptions have stopped working or only work slightly. Ashwagandha Magnesium I've tried them all but I just went through a 10 day period where my calming pills did nothing at all and I'm exhausted. This has now got me afraid of being afraid I won't sleep ever again lol.
I feel like I’ll never get free from high cortisol..this is killing me
I eat all of those, Thanks at least no Ai
sigh. Just feel the need to address this cortisol bs all over the internet. do you what organs produce cortisol? Do you understand how the HPA axis works? Because IF you did (which you don't) you would know that if a person's body is producing sustained levels of excess cortisol it can ONLY be because of 1 of 2 reasons: 1. They have Cushing's disease or Cushing's syndrome (extremely rare diseases caused by tumors. requiring specialist diagnosis and treatment) or 2. They have Pseudo-Cushing's (non-neoplastic hypercortisolism) which can be caused by excessive steroid use OR as a result of EXTREME alcoholism, depression and a few others (this is extremely rare and would only be diagnosed with a team of doctors) Our brains, if working correctly regulate the production of cortisol and if it isn't being regulated you likely have a serious medical issue that requires diagnosis and medical care. I know this because I had Cushing's disease. Please educate yourself.
I love dark chocolate and avacado
Almonds and blueberries in oatmeal. So good .
Most of the people on earth gets rest, rest, rest, and calm nights. Those have real issues. What is our excuses for? Abundant food, cars, comfortable homes, and our tvs? Quite whining ..
I do all of them foods except dark chocolate yuck
Get to the point sweetheart
Way to drag out a video. Here's the list of the 5 foods mentioned:
Green tea
Fatty fish
Nuts
Avocado
Dark chocolate
forcing yourself back to sleep is worst thing you can do
Chocolate makes my poop ..weird
Omega 3
Magnesium
Polyphenols
Fiber
Thankyou.
Thank you, ma'am!
What kind of green tea please. I'm sure Lipton is useless, right?
This is a helpful reminder that managing stress and cortisol is also about everyday habits, good nutrition, sleep, movement and understanding what your body needs. I’d also suggest checking out AlterMe if you want a more personal approach to wellness. It can help you understand your body and build simple habits around nutrition, movement, sleep and overall health🌿
I eat all of them
Please just give the foods
I've been taking magnesium glycinate daily to lower my cortisol.
I am happy with the results
Green tea inhibits iodine uptake, causing more problems than you are trying tonfix! Fiber is not needed at all, it just takes up space , those SCFAs are called ketones, as in ketogenic diet! And the " anti inflammatory " veggies and fruit are not SUPPLYING anti oxidents, they are inducing the body to create antioxidents to COUNTERACT the toxins in the plants ,that you should not be eating in the first place! On the bright side, there is the dark chocolate, 90% is best , not too sweet but not tasting like dirt either!
What kind of Dr. degree do you have? Do these tips work even if I have PMR?
I eat all of those multiple times each week with tea and nuts every day, and my cortisol is still high. Why? Because my sleep is terrible despite trying so many things to improve it. Good luck to others on here.
Green tea. Fish. Nuts. Avocado and dark chocolate. Save you having to listen to her blabber on. If only you could eat word salad
Thank you Dr Kate, very informative. Clearly you are about helping, not selling your own line of magic cures.
Hi Dr Kate appreciate the little bit of info you've provided. What about Chia seeds ( soaked for 3 hours if not overnight in plain water) What about letting people know that " Lots" of Guacamole/ Avocado is recipe for weight gain. 1/4 to 1/2 is usually the recommended amount Hemp seed hearts, Raw Cacao ( far healthier than dark chocolate bars, my skin can attest to that& you can make many things) etc.
Plus, for those of you for convenience using ai to make your videos…shame, among other things adding to already dangerously low water shortage. Without water we will have no health no life to discuss
Mrs Berg? is that you? ! 😀
Out of curiosity I started taking cocoa flavanols and flavanoids. My BP has dropped even though I don't feel any different. I have been eating 90 percent chocolate with cherry juice and I get sleepy shortly after and rest much better. I am astounded that few doctors have ever told me about so many things that I have found out myself!😊
Thank you so much, Dr. Kate. I did not realize this. God[Bible] Bless.
Ahh,too much talking,typical click baiter
Awesome video,,my problem exactlt-stuck in survival mode!!
Thank you!❤❤
Omega 3, Magnesium, Polyphenols, Fiber: green Tea, fatty fish, almonds, avocado, dark chocolate
green tea and dark chocolate have caffeine, and it tends to affect my sleeping. so, i mostly use them during breakfast and lunch. no later…
You can relax yourself out of a courtisol response. It's called meditation.
Thank you very much Dr.
All MDs should be similarly educated and teaching their patients this crucial info.
As a long time nutritionist and health and longevity educator I have seen and experienced the power of food as medicine.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whoa, are you telling me i worked through a bitter 90% dark chocolate for nothing?
How would eating 1/2 oz of 80% Dark Cocao Chocolate before bed affect my Cortisol levels during sleeping hours?
