There is a simplistic lifestyle peace

I have HARD CHRONIC low cortisol and sugar cravings are the least thing I got on my mind...

@@dodododes have you been diagnosed with Addison? How are you doing?

I agree. I have this currently

Trueeeee this what am suffer

I'm thinking I might have low cortisol. I have low blood sugar, hypoglycemia at times (rare now, that I take iodine), insomnia ( started when I got out of the Marine and I take meds to sleep, now), body aches (fibromyalgia), vitiligo, and stress/anxiety (single mother). Hoping the VA will do the cortisol testing.

I've been looking for someone on u tube to describe the day to day w cortisole issues ,,,I am positive that this is an issue for me but my endocrinologist was practically laughing at me when I described my symptoms ,,,refused to test me ,,,overnight I got really loose skin ,,I'm not young I'm 38 but I've weighed the same pretty much my entire life and one day my skin looked loose ,,,the way I'd describe it was when you see people after they have been obese and done gastric bypass ,,,obviously it wasn't to that extreme but I noticed it all at once that's why I'm not giving it up to simple aging ,,,,we don't age over night ,,,my skin very dry ,,,,fluid retention like crazy ,,I feel bloated a lot but the frequent urination and extreme thirst arnt every day ,,it seems to follow something else happening ,,,what I don't know ,,,but when that starts it's also very obvious ,,especially because I know parts of my body appear to be swollen ,,, so naturally knowing I'm at least some what swollen a decent amount of time and than say monthly ( at least ) I begin to let go of the water ,,,it's become pretty noticeable ,,,also vericose viens seemed to come out of no whair ,,I let that one go because genetically my meme and my mother both have horrible issues w them so I new they would come eventually ,,,but I am not kidding wen I say it was overnight and seemed to some how tie TOGHTHER w thier appearance on my legs w all the other weird skin stuff ,, also I've never had issues w allergies and recently I had a bad reaction to hair die ,, again I don't take that one to seriously but I've read a lot on here and aside from someone who is actually living w this problem all of what I've mentioned has been touched alone in some way in different articles ,,,if u could shed light on so,e of your symptoms,,,lots more symptoms but those are the first that come to mind ,,,

So basically feel as if I've aged overnight ?? Knw my stress level is outrageous ,,I have a child who is considerd terminally ill among other issues lack of support Ect ,,I'm on add Meds which I'm reading can def help to increase levels ,,and I recently just had my first ever in my life high blood pressure reading ,,,sorry don't ,mean to be a pest but I'm going to have to fight my endocrinologist on this for some reason so the more I know the better

Get a different endocrinologist.

@@daydreamdragons9672 Endocrinologists are notoriously awful when dealing adrenal fatigue/exhaustion because they don't believe it exists. I've dealt with it for 27 years. Throw the endocrinologists away and find a holistic or functional doctor that works with the endocrine system or HPA Axis problems. Then you'll get the proper testing (4 point saliva testing to measure your cortisol levels throughout the day to see when you are low or high or normal), a proper diagnosis, and help dealing with this. I hope you're feeling better by now, but if not, don't waste any more time on endos.

So what do we do about it?

How to test that cortisol levels?

So what did u do to fix

How did you treat or fix it?

Get a blood test to check your cortisol level

@@scotthoward4836 we know that. We're all wondering how to fix it.

How low is low blood sugar?

What's helped you

What helped?

How do you feel now please update

What helped you??

What did u do to fix

@@carmella88 i still havent figured it out 🙃

What was your reading? I got 138n/Mol and 121 after 2 months. I'm still trying to figure this out. I just started hormone treatment but I'm not scared about the fact that it's a k8fetime drug. I'm just 39 years old

Any update?

What is the normal cortisol level?

What do you do for this ?

Can you talk about which mutations please? I'm also get tested for cortisol levels so I'm interested in learning more, thank you!

Addisons disease?

@@emilyingridlaura3419 no everyone with low cortisol has Addison. I tested for it and even for tumors they found nothing but I have all the systems

@@FaithandNova you mean not everyone, I assume. And symptoms.

Christian have you seen a doctor or better still see Dr Bergs video on low cortisol You need a blood test to check your cortisol level n then take HYDROCORTISONE tablets OTHERWISE this is FATAL. YOU CAN DIE from low cortisol I know because I HAVE IT n was suffering until I WASPUT ON HYDROCORTISONE n VITAMINS TAKE CARE N BE WELL

Definately

You could take a cortisol saliva test. You collect saliva 4 times during the course of 24 hours and it measures your cortisol levels at each time. Many labs available to do this. I used ZRT labs.

Urine tests like DUTCH adrenal are offered as well with functional medicine doctors

Shenade Finnestad how do you know you have adrenal fatigue

I'm wondering the same thing.

I've found that they lower cortisol. Also, magnesium lowers cortisol. Possibly progesterone and Vit D, but not sure. I have to be very careful about all supplements because a lot of them lower cortisol and it makes me feel like death, extremely depressed. I understand your question, but just thought I'd throw that in. I can't take anything that is generally "calming" to most people. Even chamomile tea did me in.

​@@beannamatedthat happens to me also, magnesium makes me feel weaker, anything calming also stress just drains me, low sugar levels.

Research the benefits of bilberry fruit extract powder, it has lots of benefits for the eye and their is research to back it up.

Well done you went from low glucose to adrenal crisis after becoming dependent on hydrocortisone. You realise what’s happening here ?

Hi are you doing still fine? Thanks for this tip I will check for that

DUTCH test by Precision Analytics is very thorough. You'll have to get it through an Integrative or Functional Medicine practitioner.

For LOW cortisol?

Did you get healed?

@@rebeccaowen287 I wouldn’t say “ healed”, but I definitely haven’t had that crash since being on keto 😁

how are you doing now?

Great - lots of people come onto my membership to get the advance data - it's on my website

Dryness eyes can be from low cortisol? I did only one salive test and it’s low (with glandular)

Blood work will show low cortisol only if your have Addison. In other cases it should be measured by 24-h urine or saliva tests

How do you treat it? And how do you feel?

I also live on sugar and caffeine to just get through the day. my fatigue is crippling.

i know its crippling, but please, get off the sugar and caffeine..there are plenty of extracts that you can take.

moonlightontheriver What kind of extracts should I take?

Amy Rising im not really sure amy...if you research them and what they are used for, then you will know which one you should try..i know that extract of turmeric and white willow bark are used for pain..i use passion flower for sleep...im sure you will find some that will help you..i prefer the alcohol and gluten free ones..i like Natures Answer brand.

Thank you

Name of the brand? Please tell me

Yes

Have you done an ACTH Stim Test? That's the gold standard in diagnosing adrenal insufficiency. A simple cortisol level does not tell the whole story.

DAISY DID YOUR DOCTOR NOT SUGGEST YOU TAKE HYDROCORTISONE TO IMPROVE YOUR CORTISOL. MAYBE YOU SHOULD SEE ANOTHER DOCTOR OR DONT KNOW WHETHER YOU CAN BUY THEM FROM PHARMACY Low CORTISOL can KILL I KnOw CIS I have low cortisol too n am on hydrocortisone Please stay safe n be well

@@paruvathyraman8548 YES BUT WITHOUT THE HYDROCOT ,I WOULD GO IN A COMA BEFORE MY DIAGNOSIS,I WAS IN N OUT OF COMA ITS CALLED ADDISON CRISIS N ITS FATAL HAVE SUFFERED FOR YEARS FROM IT UNTIL I CHECKED MY CORTISOL IT WAS WAY WAY LOW N AM NOW ON HYDROCORTISONE. Yes there are side effects. My skin turned dark n I have pigmentation n still have bad days too .

HAVE TO TAKE MULTIVITAMIN N TRY TO TAKE CHICKEN SOUP OR OTHER NUTRITIOUS FOOD AS HYDROCOT IS A STEROID

@@tingmeekiaw1313 how do you feel taking the pills? Does it work. Any side effects?

Would'nt recommend keto if you have adrenal fatigue. No carb will stress the adrenals. Get some complex carbs in your diet.

@@marcusljung I am insulin resistant and pre-diabetic. I can’t eat carbs. I’ve had to readjust my diet so that I’m making sure I’m not eating any hidden sugars and very limited carbs (only carbs from keto-approved veggies).

You're very welcome!

I have the same problem. I had Cushing's from adrenal tumor, had tumor removed and adrenalectomy, and have Addison's. I am on hydrocortisone replacement.

@@ProfessionalWidow291 how do you feel now ?

Benjamin, I feel a lot better but not perfect, since having both adrenals out. I had Conn's as well as cyclical Cushings , and that caused a lot of dangerous hypertensive crisis, and other dangerous instabilities.

TAKE A BLOOD TEST ON CORISOL N U WILL KNOW

Thats because it's illegal to make claims - but it is a great support for the adrenal gland itself versus just the hormone

I don't trust the whole adaptogen theory. Too many of them lower cortisol and don't "balance" it. They MIGHT relieve stress somehow, but I've had horrible experiences with them and magnesium, chamomile, and anything that is said to be "calming".

I thought it was explained in another video like a disease getting worse almost ,,,starts off high and over time gets worse and than yes your body isn't producing on its own ,,,,the process of that is a little confusing but that's the gist

The two big symptoms of adrenal fatigue are: 1. Chronic fatigue 2. Chronic inflammation 👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLePmJOauJbQmIU.html

@@adrenalinejunkie3828 any advice what to do, diet/supps nutritionwise? even if difficult

Do you have low cortisol ?

Yes, thats right

It is high in morning and low at night

Omg 😱 true amp suffer with this

Ups and downs of cortisol make you insulin resistant, your cells, insulin reseptors on tbe cells less responsive/sensitive to insulin Proteins and fats are great to keep your blood sugar leveled. I hope it helps!

See your mind is concerned about the lighting of the video not the information that you are here for.thats low cortisol symptom🙂

Leilani Brabant high and low cortisol have very similar symptoms! He actually has another video on it😊
