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

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

So I'm doing a series of videos on natural plants and herbs that mimic the effectiveness

of certain medications.

And of course, anything that I'm about to say is not meant to diagnose you or replace

your medical care.

Check with your doctor before trying out these ideas.

But today we're going to talk about passion flower and its effectiveness acting as a sedative.

In a 2001 clinical trial, passion flower was as effective as relieving anxiety as oxazepan,

which is a conventional tranquilizer with fewer side effects.

And in the RAT study, which I'm going to put those studies down below, there was a significant

increase in deep sleep as well as an improvement in falling asleep more quickly.

And so the active compound in passion flower increases GABA.

Now GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitters are like hormones that travel through the nervous system.

And GABA slows things down and inhibits excitement, so you're going to feel more calm.

It regulates your mood and nervous anxiety to make you more calm.

And the benefits of passion flower are anti-anxiety, improvement in your sleep cycle, decrease

of pain, decreasing menopausal symptoms, as well as improving ADHD.

So I put some links down for more data, so check it out.

Hey, before you go, if you're benefiting from any of my content, I would love to hear

about your success story.
