Zinc Can Help Lower Cortisol

Let's talk about zinc's influence over cortisol .

Zinc is a trace mineral .

I've got a lot of videos on it , But it has a huge influence over something called the HPA axis .

Hypothalamus which is in the brain , pituitary and then we have the adrenal .

So we have this whole feedback loop going on .

So the adrenals are controlled by the hypothalamus through the pituitary's help .

And zinc supports this whole pathway .

So when you take zinc , you actually have the ability to lower Cortisol .

Zinc also increases GABA which is very calming .

So when you take Zinc , it calms you down .

Here's another problem with lowered zinc .

When you're low in zinc , you're automatically gonna be a little bit higher in copper because they work together .

When you have this ratio right here , it's not good because then you start getting copper toxicity or copper overload , and you get anxiety , depression , high levels of cortisol , and it puts your body in a stress mode .

So you're in flight or fight .

The other point I wanna make is if you have a hidden infection in your body , some people have chronic fatigue syndrome or they have fibromyalgia or they have some type of low grade infection behind the scenes .

They're under stress .

They have this infection .

They have inflammation in the joints , other places in the throat .

That is going to deplete a lot of your zinc .

And it's gonna raise your cortisol .

So that has to be addressed .

So if this situation is going on , you need to do some additional things like olive leaf extract , colloidal silver , oregano oil to handle the deeper source of the infection so your body doesn't have to utilize all this zinc .

You can get zinc from shellfish , pumpkin seeds , Brazil nuts .

So the point of this video is if you have some underlying stress , situation or you can't sleep and you're trying to do everything you can , you may wanna also include zinc .
