Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Today we're going to

today we're going to

today we're going to talk about some natural beta blockers. Now what is a beta

blocker? Well a beta blocker is something that inhibits or blocks beta adroergic receptors, which are certain receptors for adrenaline. So basically it blocks the stress response which is part of the sympathetic nervous system and doctors prescribed

beta blockers for various conditions. Number one, to help slow down the heartbeat, for abnormal

heartbeats, arrhymias, for high blood pressure, for second heart attacks, for angina, which is chest pain, for essential tremors if your hands are shaking and the word essential means

unknown cause so they don't know what causes this type of tremor also my troll valve

prolapse and a condition called pots where you get dizzy if you stand up and it's been used for anxiety as well.

All right, so the problem is there are some side effects from taking a beta blocker.

So I'm going to talk about some natural beta blockers, which are certain remedies to reduce adrenaline.

Now, of course, adrenaline is part of the stress response. So anything you can do to reduce stress would be a very good thing. So the first thing I'm going to

recommend is potassium to increase your potassium. Potassium is a physiological

tranquilizer it calms the nervous system down. Number two, garlic. Garlic has properties to reduce blood pressure and it can

also help reduce adrenaline. Also, garlic is loaded with vitamin B1, which is another remedy,

thineine. B1 is a great natural remedy to help lower the stress response.

It can reduce both cortisol and adrenaline.

Then we have magnesium, which is another mineral that helps calm the

nervous system. And by the way, calcium is not something you want to take if you're trying

to lower adrenaline. It can increase adrenaline because calcium is part of the contraction mechanism

whereas magnesium is part of the relaxation mechanism.

All right, the next one is vitamin D. Vitamin D is really good to help produce cortisol as well as adrenaline as part of the stress response and a great herb to take which is an adaptogen for the adrenals, which can help produce cortisol as well as adrenaline is ashwoganda.

Now, the next thing I would highly recommend to do is do long walks.
