| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.7 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:24.0 | Hello, Dr. Berg here. In this video we're going to talk about how to lower cortisol. |
| 0:29.1 | Cortisol is a very destructive hormone. It's a stress hormone. It makes belly fat and there's a lot |
| 0:36.8 | of theories and mixed confusing ideas about cortisol. But I'm going to show you what is known |
| 0:43.9 | about cortisol. It's far harder to lower it. Things that you can do, things that you can avoid. |
| 0:49.1 | Again, it's made by the outside of the adrenal gland on top of the kidney and it reacts to stress. |
| 0:54.2 | So as you age, the opposing hormone called growth hormone, this is anti-aging, goes down. It |
| 1:02.4 | bottoms out at age of 50. So in other words, the relative ratio of low growth hormone to cortisol, |
| 1:11.4 | cortisol naturally goes higher because it's unopposed. It has nothing to push it down. So growth, |
| 1:17.3 | anything that increases growth hormone will help lower cortisol. So growth hormone is made by a |
| 1:22.5 | gland. You put to a tarry gland and it works with a liver and guess what? It activates during sleep. |
| 1:29.7 | So if you can get more sleep or do something to improve your sleep, |
| 1:36.4 | then you will help yourself lower cortisol. Whatever that means. More sleep, but not necessarily |
| 1:42.9 | taking a drug, but doing it naturally. More sleep, more growth hormone, less cortisol. Okay, that's |
| 1:47.7 | number one. Number two, what's IGF? Insan-like growth factor. What is that? That is a hormone that is |
| 1:56.6 | very similar to growth hormone, but it's produced by your liver. So it's released by the liver and it |
| 2:04.1 | regulates fat burning and it actually helps regulate blood sugars when you're not eating. So insulin |
| 2:12.8 | regulate sugar when you're eating. IGF regulate sugars when you're not eating and primarily when |
| 2:17.8 | you're sleeping. So if you're just grazing all day, eating all day long and never give your |
| 2:24.4 | body a chance not to eat, then you will not trigger growth hormone unless you're sleeping really good. |
| 2:29.6 | So I recommend you two to three meals a day if you really want to stimulate this and not have |
