In this video, I want to cover low cortisol and the problems with low cortisol. Cortisol has a lot of good benefits. But, cortisol levels that are too high or too low can be a problem. 

One of the causes of low cortisol is cortisol resistance. This means you had high levels of cortisol (stress) for a long time, and the receptors for cortisol started to downgrade. Now, you can’t absorb cortisol anymore. 

Your cells can’t get the benefits of cortisol despite having high levels of cortisol. You essentially have both high cortisol and low cortisol, as well as the bad side effects that accompany both of these issues. 

Potential side effects of low cortisol:
• Inflammation 
• Arthritis 
• Low immunity 
• Allergies 
• Asthma 
• Low stress tolerance 
• Low vitamin D 
• Poor memory 

How to support cortisol levels:
1. Support the adrenals and cortisol with my Adrenal and Cortisol Support supplement 
2. Identify and avoid the source of stress
3. Get plenty of good sleep 
4. Take walks 
5. Change your environment, so you’re not in a stress state

"What is stressing you out?" One of my biggest stress factors, especially in the world we live in today, is finances. But I don't think there's a cure for that. 🤔

Thank you for this video. 🌷

Very interesting about synthetic vitamin C weakening the I was taking this thinking it was helping me and not understanding why I felt worse and why I was getting low blood sugar out of the blue. Makes sense now. Thank you Dr. Berg!! You are amazing!!

He's right. I have low cortisol and daily life is a nightmare

[ZombiesMyPizza]

You forgot low blood sugar as a symptom of low cortisol. One of the worst symptoms if you get it.

I have had untreated Addison's desease since I was 19. I was never tired. Actually I always had lots of energy. I was only low on energy after surgery. During the flu, infections etc. Luckily I never had the symptoms of low cortisol. When I was diagnosed my cortisol was at 5. Normal is between 10-20. You all need to be tested. You might have dangerously low cortisol without knowing it like me.

Hi! I started taking Adrenal and cortisol relief formula a week ago, and I noticed that I become very sleepy after taking it. I am not sure now what level of cortisol I have and if I should continue taking it :) I do have belly fat, I have a very bad memory and low stress tolerance.

My cortisol is zero 😢. I wake up with no energy or motivation, memory problems and joints hurt. Just found out I have few mutations as well.

Thank you for sharing your wealth of information on this, and many subjects. I was diagnosed with low to n0nexistent cortisol levels a couple years ago, and prescribed daily low dose prednisone. It has relieved a lot of the symptoms I had, and I understand I'll probably need to always take Prednisone.

[creativefun]

I have Addison's desease and therefore a low cortisol. Great video.

[marimari]

This is exactly what Im going through. Thank you for this video

[jayribujanda]

Also, for the supplement you recommend, is that going to make the body dependent on it? Like if you stop taking it will your cortisol levels drop?
