In this lecture, we’re going to talk about how you can lower your cortisol. Cortisol is a destructive stress hormone. It makes a lot of belly fat and can cause problems throughout the body when your levels are too high.

There’s a lot of confusion about this hormone and how to lower cortisol—let me help clear up the confusion.

The adrenal glands are responsible for creating cortisol. Your adrenals are located in your abdomen right on top of your kidneys. The adrenals react to stress. That’s why cortisol is often referred to as the “stress hormone.”

As you age, the hormone that keeps cortisol in check begins to decline. This hormone is called growth hormone (GH). This allows your cortisol levels to skyrocket. The key is to help increase your growth hormone naturally. The best way to do this is to get good sleep or get more sleep.

Insulin-like growth hormone (IGF) is very similar to growth hormone. This hormone can help regulate your cortisol level. You can increase this hormone by fasting and getting plenty of sleep.

Vitamin D and sunlight can also help lower your cortisol levels. You need regular sun exposure to get plenty of vitamin D.

Walking helps reduce your stress levels, which can lower your cortisol. I recommend walking daily.

You can do acupressure to help pull stress out of the body.

And finally, potassium, vitamin B1, and calcium and fantastic nutrients for regulating cortisol.

Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. This episode is inspired by Dr. Tracey Mark’s message on Emotional Intelligence. The following statement below is directly from Dr. Tracey Marks:

“ Do you seem to take on other people’s emotions and then have trouble managing them? In this video I answer a viewer question and discuss two reason you can be an emotional sponge:

1. Having low emotional intelligence

2. Being a people pleaser or wanting to save people

I also discuss 5 ways to stop being an emotional sponge.

1. Increase your self-awareness. You can get help identifying your true emotions with emotions cards that you can download from

2. Identify the origin of your emotions

3. Learn to manage your emotions so they don’t overwhelm you

4. Establish clear boundaries between yourself and others

5. Understand what’s behind your need to save people”

Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. This episode talks about Trauma, PTSD, and 9 Signs of Unhealed Trauma. Thank you Psych2Go for the information provided. Please Enjoy!

"Trauma is often the result of an overwhelming amount of stress from a situation that exceeds one's ability to cope, such as the death of a loved one, the end of a meaningful relationship, or the rejection of a loved one. Do you pretend that everything is good when it really isn’t? When you don’t have a positive and healthy way of dealing with your trauma, you end up repressing your negative emotions. It can be hard to recognize unresolved trauma on the surface, especially within ourselves." - Psych2GO
