0:00.0	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.
0:12.0	What is the best way to know if you have high cortisol? What is cortisol? Cortisol is the main stress hormone.
0:30.6	And if cortisol is too high, there's a lot of problems that can happen in your body. I've done a lot of videos on this.
0:36.6	Let me go down the list to give you some ideas on what happens when your cortisol is too high. You get belly
0:43.3	fat. You lose protein in your thigh muscles and your buttocks. Okay? So you lose your butt and
0:50.7	your thighs. What's not going to do your knees? It's going to make your knees
0:54.1	very painful and weak, especially when you're climbing stairs. Your blood pressure might increase.
1:00.2	First starting with the systolic, that's the top number, and then ending up with the
1:04.4	diastolic too. Allergies, asthma, acne, anxiety, low tolerance to stress. People start really getting on your nerves, especially
1:16.6	slow drivers. Inflammation. Why? Because cortisol is the main anti-inflammatory. So if you don't have it, you fill up with inflammation. It could be anywhere.

1:34.8	much cortisol. This is why when people get injected with prednisone, for example, where they
1:39.7	use prednisone a lot, sometimes they can become a diabetic. Cravings for carbs and breads, that would be one way to know that you have a problem with
1:49.0	cortisol.
1:50.0	Decreased libido.
1:52.0	Decreased potassium because potassium goes through you.
1:55.0	And that's a problem because potassium is needed for so many things like energy, relaxing you, balancing fluids. It's a main
2:03.2	electrolyte, et cetera, et cetera. You may tend to hold salts, and that's why you have
2:07.3	edema as well. But also you will lose something that is involved with making acids, okay,
2:15.1	and hydrochloric acid. So you end up with digestive problems because you don't have
2:19.1	enough acid, and your blood pH can go more on the alkaline side, not the acid side that a lot of
2:26.8	times people think, more alkaline, and that can give you a whole series of additional problems.
