Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg

takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

There's a really great tea that you could consume on a regular basis.

In fact, you only need to drink a half a glass of it per day to create some really significant

effects, especially on cortisol.

As you may already know, cortisol is the main stress hormone, and a lot of people are

being exposed to a chronic amount of high-level cortisol.

And here's the problem.

When you're exposed to cortisol over a long period of time, it's like being exposed

to insulin over a long period of time.

Your body starts developing cortisol resistance, just like insulin resistance.

And that's a situation where there's a feedback loop problem.

So in other words, the receptor is blocked, so the signals don't get back to turn off things.

And so the cell actually is suffering from a cortisol deficiency.

And so then the adrenals just start pumping out more and more and more and more.

So you have a situation where you have a lot of cortisol in the body, yet it's not working.

So you have all sorts of problems, inflammatory problems, stress problems, weight problems,

etc., etc.

But this problem can actually come from two different ways.

One is through stress, but the other is not through stress.

But just by having a genetic problem with that enzyme, you can either have two situations.

One is that the enzyme is turned up too much.
