This SUCKS! - Dr. Berg

Every year, a few times a year, I have a bad reaction to poison ivy. This time, it has affected my eye.


Each time I was exposed and had a bad reaction, I was given prednisone. It got to the point where, after I was exposed, the effects of the poison ivy wouldn’t go away after using prednisone.


People typically take prednisone for its anti-inflammatory or immune suppressant effects. But prednisone has side effects.


Prednisone is a synthetic version of cortisol. Cortisol has benefits. It’s a hormone that helps the immune system and prepares the body for stress. But high cortisol levels can lead to a lot of health concerns.


You don’t want to be on prednisone forever. The more you take it, the more it weakens the system. But if you stop taking it, your symptoms may come back. So, why don't we get to the root problem? Keep in mind that once you start taking prednisone, it’s important not to come off of it too fast. Prednisone and cortisol also deplete the body of numerous vitamins and minerals.


The best ways to lower cortisol:

1. Lower your stress (do physical work, exercise, spend more time on a hobby, and take certain nutrients)

2. Take ashwagandha

3. Try breathing exercises

4. Use an HRV device to better understand your stress
