| 0:29.0 | 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. Hello Dr. Berg here in this video we're going to talk about how to lower cortisol. |
| 0:51.1 | Cortisol is a very destructive hormone. |

| 1:59.2 | will help yourself lower cortisol, whatever that means. |
