Stress lass nach: Hormone & Hilfe bei Stress

Yes, and above all, what do we have to do with it, with our stress, because I know that you are very short on time, but I said, please, please, briefly, stress relief, it's a huge, huge topic. And that's why we're just going to get started very easily and we'll make a big topic out of it later. Okay. Because stress should subside and we shouldn't have stress here either, dear Marianne. And I think it's so important that we know what we're doing when we're stressed and, above all, what we can do about it. But we're not doing all of that today, we're just getting started very easily. And I'm glad that Marianne Krug really stayed here. I was just able to hold her like that, actually I wanted to get rid of her. You also wrote a big topic about it in your book and it's worth making a big topic out of it. But it's always good when you hear things twice, three times, four times. That's why we're starting now, so that you hear a few terms, at least the first time, and the next time it will be much easier to understand. Okay. Marianne trains doctors and practitioners in bio-identical or human-identical hormone therapy. Here is the address, the www-address, you can find it here. Everything is linked below the video. And now we're going to get to the topic. Marianne, let's just start with the most important things to talk about stress, but without stress. Yes, yes, yes. Yes? Yes. Good, so completely relaxed. Yes. Maybe it makes sense to first tell a little bit about what happens in the body. Stress affects us, we think. Or the other possibility, we make stress ourselves, it develops in us. If we're not perfect enough or don't do enough, then we can, without anyone being in the room, without any external influence, also develop stress from the inside. What happens then? There is an electrical signal in a brain level. It's a part of the brain, I always say it's the part where emotions run to biochemistry. Yes? That's the hypothalamus, the so-called limbic system. There is stress running in, and then it distributes. So it distributes the alarm messages immediately. And everything is driven up so that we are put in a position to defend ourselves against an existential threat. That's the so-called saber-toothed tiger that attacks. And this hypothalamus, this part of the brain, is the central part in the fire brigade that is responsible for sending firefighters out to deal with this existential threat, the supposed one. Do you want to jump in? Yes, yes. This fire brigade and the fire brigade people, do they have names? Yes, so the hypothalamus, that's the part of the brain where the first transformation into hormones happens. That's a so-called releasing hormone, cortisol releasing hormone, called CRH or corticotropin. And that's the part in the fire brigade that says, now get out, get out, get out. And this CRH would then say in a subordinated place, namely the cerebellum, you have the hormone that fires the adrenals. We need that now. This hormone is called ACTH. And that would then be the extinct extinguishing hoses or the one that expels the extinguishing hoses. The ACTH stimulates our adrenals to release the hormone cortisol. That's the central player when we talk about stress. The cortisol is our existence hormone. It secures our existence. So listen carefully, because cortisol is not necessarily bad. No, it's not bad. Above all, it's necessary for survival. It's only a problem if it's in the body for a long time. Exactly. If we have too much of it. Cortisol is really there to secure our existence. And the body does that at all costs. The price the body pays for it is, for example, a burning, a boiling of small nerve branches. That means we keep our existence up to pay the price that, for example, three nerve branches break. Or certain inflammatory processes take place. That's a price the body pays to ensure existence. That's important. But nowadays the trigger is no longer the saber-toothed tiger. So it's not a real threat that we have to run for our lives or fight to defend our lives. But it's things of everyday life. The annoyance of time, of stress with superiors, the computer is spinning. Putting yourself under stress because you want to do something or think you have to do a lot. Exactly. And that's how it's spread nowadays. But social media also puts us under stress. It's not that easy in this fast-moving time. And that's why the body pays a higher price nowadays. Because this chain that is put in place to protect our lives is always pushed. The fire brigade is in constant action, even if only a glass of water has fallen over. If we take that as an example. And now there's something else that's important. The body also has a light defense against that. The body protects us again and again. And there's a hormone that balances the cortisol a little bit. This life-saving, beautiful and good, but dear hormone, don't give me too many side effects. And this life-saving, I sometimes call it the Schäuble, our former minister of economy, that's the DHEA. That's a hormone that's also released in the adrenal gland. It has a long name. Dehydroepiandrosterone. Don't remember. It's not worth it. DHEA as an abbreviation. And that makes sure that the price that the body has to pay for fire brigade missions doesn't get too high. And that's again in the sense of a yin-yang mechanism. It's poured out of the adrenal gland. High cortisol, so high DHEA. And then, depending on the duration of the stress, there are different forms of dysbalance. And we'll do that next time. Because there's so much more to say about stress. But we've already talked about the adrenal glands. We've talked about cortisol. Cortisol is what we call this hormone in the body. What we prescribe as doctors is called cortisone. So that's the difference. And there's also a counterpart to cortisol. That's the DHEA. And all of that is substances that we can measure. And that's why we can substitute the deficiency here. Because it's quite common. You know that, I know that. According to our patients. We can substitute or we can cure the deficiency. But we can do a lot more. And we should discuss that again, shouldn't we? It would be worth it. Definitely. About the effects of permanent stress and its treatment. Absolutely. It's coming. I don't know exactly when. We've already thought of a date. Maybe we'll make it. That would be great. Marianne, thank you for letting me move you again. Just a moment. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. If you want to know more. There's so much in this book. Explained so well. Just a great book. You can find more videos with the two of us here. And again, thank you so much. And thank you for watching. We look forward to your thumbs up. If you subscribe to the channel. And if you share these videos, please, please, please.
