How to lower cortisol

[Scazzoh]

This is a pithy, short video from Erik Berg. He's got a lot of lectures on his YouTube channel.

For any other deaf old coots like me, it is worth pointing out that this video has subtitles.

I found the video interesting - particularly the references to potassium which I take occasionally, but in tiny doses because it worries me. And I wondered if his mention of calcium could explain why so many people like milky drinks just before bed.

BUT - I wanted to scream when he said people who want to lower cortisol should get more sleep. I always want to yell at this comment - HOW? I've had insomnia problems for about 45 years. It's almost as if people who say "Get more sleep" think I'd never thought of it before.

Oh yes HB, I'd like to know how to get more sleep too! Magnesium citrate and Melatonin before bed doesn't do much for me and I've been a poor sleeper for donkeys years like you

Very interesting Scazzoh , great find. I'll check out his other videos.

The 10,000iu daily D3 is a bit worrying, I reached toxicity level on 5000iu daily after I got mine up from severe deficiency so that's something to look into. Good to see he mentioned K2 with the Vit D.

Yes, I thought that 10,000 iU recommendation for vitamin D was a bit scary and way over the top. I keep my level at roughly 100 nmol/L with a dose of 2000 iU per day.

Yes, I take 1,000 per day when the clocks go back until they go forward again, when I stop.
