| 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 weights. |
| 0:28.1 | Let's talk about how to stay calm when you're stressed and you have high levels of cortisol. |
| 0:34.1 | Now, if you live on planet Earth, you may have experienced stress at least once in your life. |
| 0:38.1 | I'm being very sarcastic because it seems like the motto is to keep your adrenals jacked up and keep you in stress mode 24-7. And anytime you're trying to solve |
| 0:43.8 | a problem, it's vital to understand the problem a little bit more. So we're going to do a deep dive |
| 0:48.2 | into the main hormones that regulate stress. And those two hormones are both cortisol and adrenaline. And they're |
| 0:58.9 | both produced by your adrenal glands. And you got two adrenal glands. They sit on top of the kidney. |
| 1:03.8 | You have an outside and you have an inside. The inside is all neurological tissue. And that is where |
| 1:10.1 | adrenaline is produced and released from. The outside is all neurological tissue, and that is where adrenaline is produced and released from. |
| 1:13.0 | The outside is all glandular tissue, and that's where you have cortisol. |
| 1:18.4 | And cortisol is the hormone, but adrenaline is a neurotransmitter, which is similar to a hormone, |
| 1:24.6 | but it works through the nervous system. |
| 1:33.2 | And both of these hormones basically adapt your body to stress states. |
| 1:38.4 | So the more environmental stress you have, the more those adrenals have to be activated to adjust your body to survive better during stress events. |
| 1:43.2 | These two hormones are not designed to be long duration. |
| 1:48.8 | They're designed to be of a short duration and then turn off. Now, the problem is the adrenal glands |
| 1:55.9 | were not built with an off switch. They only have an on switch. You probably heard of the flight |
| 2:02.3 | or fight mechanism as a part of the autonomic nervous system, and that is called the sympathetic |
| 2:07.6 | nervous system. That's the on switch. The off switch is called the parasympathetic nervous |
| 2:13.7 | system, and they call that rest and digest because it occurs when you're in a calm, |
| 2:19.8 | relaxed state. So if you happen to get stuck in stress, like a lot of people, you're going to be |
| 2:26.6 | heavy on the sympathetic nervous system, the flight or fight, and very, very light on the |
