Problematic leadership which is causing belly fat, acid reflux, skin problems, a flooding of the mind and body with cortisol, auto immune conditions, means that doctors need to start diagnosing patients with DISTRESS, not just "stress". And Distress in terms of oppression of human rights, which requires approaching the law to fix, which then includes talking to professionals who know what rights are being oppressed, writing it down, having meetings about it, having actions taken against the individual/s who are oppressing others. (not, diagnosing them with stress and suggesting exercise and tablets)
I get violently ill when I’m stressed. Body always responds before I recognize the cause.
Of course there's 111 👍🏻 BEFORE I comment
Reducing cortisol levels is the most important thing for everyone.
Yes... Stress will jack your body up, in ways you couldn't even imagine...
Makes sense. I would suffer from severe allergies (runny nose, sneezing, fatigue) every. time. before an exam in college. All that went away several months ago when I began ditching the perfectionist miindset and aimed to just pass with the minimum and when I finally got a room for myself
Relatable af. I used to get sick everytime I had exams. I even got addicted to porn and masturbation because of this cuz I was ignorant about all this stuff.
Relatable 100%
Aw lucky yuuh ..
@@sageofsixpaths98appreciate the honesty. What did you do resolve the deep rooted issue?
I think what you had where pseudoallergic reactions. I am a bit histamine intolerant and it used to be stronger, so strong I really had to be on a strict diet, for about 10 years.
and that is how I learned about pseudoallergic reactions.
the connection is this:
the body stores histamine in special cells. and it has a purpose. it gets released into the bloodstream when we are stressed (amongst other things) to do it's thing (I forget what it is, it's good for. it gaave me so much trouble that I thought it wasn't good for anything)
histamine is also the transmitter that is the gobetween an allergen (pollen or something) and the allergic reaction. so you can get an allergic reaction without having had an allergen because histamine was released.
it's brilliant that you got rid of it. but what can also help is to take a histamine blocker (simple anti allergy pills) before a stressfull day. the night before and in the morning. it never solved the whole problem for me, but it can take the edge off.
I knew it! I’m doing ADF, OMAD but being under stress with a narc husband is literally making me bloat
I started working in Banking in 2016, I've been gaining weight steadily since then! To say it is stressful is putting it nicely.
Many thanks Dr Tara, I was a shift worker for over 40 years and happily retired for the past 3years your advices is so good love you and your episodes. Blessings 🌻
i think shes right
im a woman mid thirties
once i stopped caring about my weight, i really started losing weight
i actually stopped working out due to just seeing no results
i also stopped eating fruit and eating more red meat and eggs
ive lost a stone in 6 months
you lost a stone? What does that mean? And why did you stop eating fruit? Thanks
@mpps770 I stopped fruit because it would make me pee more and I would get really hungry after eating it
I forgot to mention but I started eating carbs in the form of homemade whole wheat wraps
Either omelette wrap or lamb wrap at meal times with 50g of dates for the sugar craving
A big bowl of Full fat Greek yoghurt and frozen Berries for breakfast
I was sick of calories restriction and low carb high protein so I just started eating what I want as long as it add up to 2000cals per day
Hope it helps
@@mpps1990and a stone is about 6.3kg or 13 pounds.
Being a Psychologist I condemn the stressful process which occurs no where other than work place if am at home for long term I will be happy n stress free the moment I start going to work place stress will appear I don't like inviting unnecessary stress i need peace of mind Being my own boss better I start my own Counseling centre
You are the stress buster of your management. Go to office and eat their stress 😂
Sweating can be from a sauna or even a heated blanket in addition to exercise. Cold exposure for a short time like at the end of a shower for a few minutes also helps cortisol levels. This was an interesting and helpful episode! 👌👍
This is absolutely true . As someone who has a childhood truama history, which gave me a battle long standing with a generalised anxiety disorder. Iv always struggled with fluctuations in weight, and my abdominal fat is very problematic and hard to shift.
I get ill when I'm stressed, been stressed for over year. Not sleeping maybe 4 - 6 hours , my skin get dryer and duller my eyes dull toos... And feel like I have a cold/flu and when I'm upset my stomach hurts and feel bloated and I get chesty short of breath when a certain person pushes me to far. So I'm gonna try and take better care of myself and have boundaries.
Makes sense, when she explained about the inflammatory of the body and brain.
Thank you, for waking me up to myself .
As soon as i notice that i am getting stressed (which i am hyper vigilant about), i immediately do something about it. My for sure go-to(s) are my spiritual practice and exercise (in fresh air), could simply be a walk. Oh, sooo gooood!!!
Thank you Dr Swart ! ❤
This is interesting as i am piling on the weight even though i am exercising more than historically i have done, eating better also. Yes i am now 40 vs 35 or even 30 so keeping the weight off is harder. But the stress since covid is what is killing me. no income for two years lost 187k in earning savings and now i think i am working to hard to claw it all back. That being said the results are turning now, mainly i walk a lot no gym, so low intensity to clear my mind. Also hate to say it not caring, low mental impact, why care about work, do it work go home. this was tough to switch my mentality.
Such a very interesting and helpful discussion.
Wow, I needed to hear this! Thank you.
Can resonate with so much, great podcast.
Very interesting and helpful!! Thank you so much
Sleep, excersise, journaling
Best podcast ever! 😊
I've had constant extreme stress from November 2022 at my workplace which translated to my private life. I couldn't finish all my subjects at uni for the fall and spring semester. Not to mention that I can't seem to relax even a tiny bit. I still feel like a failure, a burden, no will and motivation left in me. This left me getting a simple cold with runny nose in August and coughing and up to this point resulted in laryngitis and coughing till I threw up with a killer sore throat. I've been on sick leave for the week but honestly... staying awake or doing simple chores like making myself a meal are challenging.
I feel you
@@niceguy2527I'm with you ...
Quite interesting, thank you
That explains why I'm exercising more/eating the same, but still gaining weight without explanation. The past year or two has been really stressful are work, and weight increased to the most I've ever weighed, and I spent the first 32 or 33 years of my life being really skinny.
My skin is also the worst it's ever been since I was a teenager. I plan to change jobs soon anyway. I got 3 months of leave starting January, but my last lot of holidays didn't help with my stress levels anyway. I think I'll always be like this now until I successfully change jobs.
I’m enjoying this video, but can I point out that this interview space is lovely, great lighting
This was one of your most interesting interviews. Thank you. Also, have you considered including subtitles for every video interview? Would be most helpful 🙏
UA-cam provides subtitles. I also used subtitles for some sequences while listening to this 2 hours podcast.
❤ The info on stress and weight gain! The sleep was great my brain is not getting much cleaning! I have broken sleep & a lot of dreams nonstop! 🙁☹️😣😖😫😩
I have chronic stress and I know that will have its physical implications
SubhanaAllah Islamically you need to sleep on your Right hand side and the Dr just said to sleep sideways…Thanks Doc
Extreme short term stress like just before exam makes some people lose weight. It suppresses appetite a lot
I had horrific back pain the past year, broke up with my boyfriend and kicked him out, now my back pain is completely GONE. Throughout the past year I never thought that this could be the solution to my pain, I had been using heat pads and biofreeze to mitigate the issues. Don't get me wrong, I would rather have the relationship and have worked on my back pain at the same time, but in reality that didn't work at all.
Wow, he may not realize it yet, but youve done him a huge favor. Anyone who speaks so flippantly about the end of a relationship doesn't deserve one.
@@kennethg9277 oh HELL yeah I did him a huge favor while also looking out for myself. If anyone tries to make it seem like relationships aren't selfish is lying their ass off. I'm proud that I didn't stay with this guy, it would have been out of pity rather than love and a full waste of time. And DAMN you're really that mad, sucks to suck stranger, at least my back pain is gone.
@@kennethg9277 maybe it struck a cord with you because you got dumped and kicked out xD
@@BootsieBumfield-kc1pu "maybe it struck a cord with you because you got dumped and kicked out xD" - If you type nonsense like a stupid child, you'll be treated like one, kid. You don't deserve the company of actual humans, and you don't deserve to be pain-free. When the pain returns, think of me. 😁
@@kennethg9277 ohh I must have really hit you deep there bud.
So true
Yes because I never had a belly then becoming a nurse in my early 20’s and I still didn’t have a belly, but having a baby in my 30’s and it just blew up! It’s going down but I want to make sure it doesn’t come back once it’s gone.
I totally keep to self
This makes sense why even my disciplined life with a judgmental partner will not prosper my wellness goals.
Cortisol may cause fat to be stored around mid section but the extra calories still have to come from somewhere. We're not breaking laws of thermodynamics. Otherwise, world hunger wouldn't be a thing.
It's how we deal with stress is the problem. Most people just sit down and consume a bucket of ice cream or copious amounts of alcohol.
Dealing with stress is obviously very important for many reasons and how it affects sleep is one of them. Among other things, the amount of sleep we get determines if we store calories as fat or build / preserve muscle tissue.
Not to mention I’m always tired
This is pretty serious, I’ve been followed the same gym routine when I’m stressed and when I ain’t and for REAL I’ve felt the difference. Also I developed Asthama just cause Of STRESSS
Subscribed 👍🏻
@HeidiPriber, what practices can you suggest to increase being present? I'm afraid I also don't have the emotional intelligence to navigate this, just given how much I disassociate during the day
I need to lower my stress
the title: "stress is making you fat & sick"
the thumbnail: a pregnant woman's belly
🥴🥴🥴🥴
I absolutely love this
Stress however I'm a new mom of 10month old
What can be done to help for better sleep and or stress and how to manage everything better ?
The stress in the household in whole is very tense certain days , some better and lighter
Stress is high with my partner and then mine increase during the day
When I see my baby I feel so much better and relief until my partner starts or my baby starts being difficult
What can I do to improve or better this whole stress situation ?
I am a side sleeper
Can Sauna help to sweat out Cortisol
Stress makes me skinny because it causes anxiety. Which makes me feel grossed out easily and in the end makes it difficult to eat. I do notice my stomach acts up a lot after panic attacks or a sudden stressful moment like a big startle. If I stress for more than an hour non stop, it will likely cause a migraine. I do notice my skin gets a little drier when stressing more often. & I do have acid reflux but it’s probably from a mix of anxiety and spicy food 😅
Horses for courses
Do you drink coffee?
Good info but too brief
The thumbnail is misleading. I've been extremely stressed for a long time, but it didn't make me pregnant.
Stress makes a lot of people pregnant but I think there’s an extra step missing 🍆 😂
Haha u both
No on laughed I can ecoh on it....left working for Amerjcan banks because I gained 15 kilos of weight due to stress over the last year...
Stress makes me skinny as I tend not to eat and skip meals regularly. Unfortunately it doesn't make me sick either. Just lots of muscle tension until I get ahead of the problem.
You would prefer getting sick? Why?
Slap to the fat ones. Rah rah!
Are you trying to say your body responds better to stress than other people? Who cares lmao.
I eat too much when stressed. Thanks for sharing
People who are stressed and skinny aren't always necessarily healthy. Stress-skinny people can get other autoimmune issues like mast cell activation, or chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and other stuff. That inflammatory fire burns the body eventually or people snap/project their stress outwards to the people around them. It's healthier to channel into chores, exercise, writing, or talk to someone like a friend or acquaintance who understands or a therapist if you need it. Stress is like a lot of emotions that are like hormonal-electrical whirlpools in the body that can exhaust you. Sleep too is really important.
Stress can also make you lose weight as I have been for years not one way. Feels like you have no oxygen ( too much stress)
Excess coffee causes stress
I've been more stressed in the last year than ever. And I've LOST weight!
anorexic? pretty sure stress causes that too.
Same, even if I eat.
@@pr00009stress can make people lose weight. It happened to me. I still ate. Think about it, caffeine gives the body stress, not energy. Caffeine is one of the main ingredients in most diet products. So that fight or flight mode(which is what caffeine really does to the body) gives the body adrenal, causing weight loss.
Defiantly not anorexic! Anorexia is a thing of its own
@@goddessvibes2345 ooo ok.
Stress and mineral deficiency is what causes diseases and illness
And also bacteria, viruses, fungi, genetic disorders, injury.... you're welcome
Lots of things stress me but especially someone who talks to much
If it's killing then change lifestyle is it not. Investigate where stress comes from if possible search in depth that's it ! Thankyou ☝️
when i stressed i eat!…😢
So true. Once my marriage have turbulence, work has been very stressful due to short staff . My son needed my help with so many things. What is a mom and wife to do. That’s right suppress it and get things done. At the end , I look like I’m pregnant and my immune system has weakened dramatically. From asthma trigger, eczema, bronchitis 3X. The worst part is that my son sees me. He sees that I’m stressed.
As a mom of teens, I hear you. Make sure your body is not low in vitamin D. Supplements of D3 as well as magnesium glycinate can make big difference. It has helped me a lot.
❤️💖💖🙏💖❤️💖
But if you weren't going to find food for a month, wouldn't that be stressful? Wouldn't that lead to more belly fat???
That’s funny she said exercise u can sweat out the cortisol - I find if I run too hard it increases my stress levels and I can’t relax even hours after so not sure about that one
Sweating isn't only running 😅..... Try martial arts, specially boxing 🥊, kickboxing, karate 🥋 , taekwondo, judo 🥋 or any combat sports. Mits are the best way to sweat and decrease cortisol.
What about sauna?
Run two hours after waking up.
It's called my annoying elderly Dad 😂
God ill be good without food for a year then 😅
I had to laugh because on the title page there is clearly a picture of a pregnant woman not a fat person. Unless stress is making you pregnant as well.
It will kill you only
This is the best channel ever. According to scientific America and pub med there is still no evidence for the sync effect while the guest is 100 percent sure about it. Who is right?
And pregnant by the looks of the thumbnail!
she literally said nothing new
So the fix is sleep and exercise? Surpriseeeeeee 😮
Sugar sugar and too much food simples
I like your video's, such a pitty that you use the name of Jesus as a curse word 😢
Sleeping for 8:15, and in bed for 9?
That does not ring a bell for me, and I've read many sleep studies. Maybe it's a newer study. 🤷♂️
Regardless, that does not jive with my personal experience, nor the experiences of most of the people I've spoken to on this subject.
Sleep cycles average 90 minutes for most people, and most people benefit most from 5 complete cycles. 8:15 would be 5.5 cycles for most people, which is worse than 5 full cycles. 9 hours would be 6 full cycles, which is too much for most people, and starts to cause an ironic lethargy.
Perhaps the actual data she's referring to is people taking 45 minutes to fall asleep, sleeping for 7:30, and resting in bed for 45 minutes after waking.
Otherwise, this sounds like hooey to me.
Well, i do best on 9 hours every night. Nor more not less. By the way ternagers are recommended to sleep 10 hours. Why people don't know that... and for adults+/- 7/9 hours
Lol
What about 97% of people in the world
The thumbnail photo looks like stress will get you pregnant, as the belly looks like that of a pregnant woman not a fat belly.
Already dead.
Wrong.....
People are getting fatter cause our food is getting worse..
People do not take responsibility In making healthy meals...
Iv train for over 10 years
Eaten well for 10 years...
Stress does give ur body alot of problems bt also give u benefits.. take the negative energy..an do something with it ur already struggling or in pain .so do something good with it... take responsibility...
Get in the gym.
Eat better.
Drink more water...
Get more sunlight
The main problems with the human body is are intake. Are food has got so bad over time... every tine u buy when going to the shop is full of shit... oils.. fats..
This is why people are putting on fat. An many other problems start happening..
My body has changed dramatically in last 2 years.by cutting out wheat an dairy...
My diet now is a beef an 8 vegetables stew made fresh in the morning..to take to work..6 days of the week..
Breakfast is oats in hot water with real honey. Not that crap u get at the supermarket... with organic peanut butter.
An 2 eggs every day... sometimes with avocado an fish.... or bit of bacon an mushroom make nice omelet..
Snacks are jerky. Mix nuts an seeds. Dried cranberries...
Evenings il have steak mushrooms spinach or chicken an rice or even a takeaway I still enjoy treats....
Problem is people need to be told u are lazy... take responsibility.. u might say u can't afford those foods... u can cause yes fish an steak every day u think is expensive..bt I'm not buying from the shops
Pies pizzas ice cream sweat..biscuits . Sausage rolls... I just buy fresh fruit an vegetable. Stock up on loads of meat.. the money works out roughly the same...
People get to a point where its just easier to take something out of a few boxes an chuck it in the oven....
These days there's too much bulking up in are food with oils fats an carbs....
..
Why u think they put wheat nearly in everything.... the people that have tried carnival diets have had amazing results.. even people over the age of 60 are burning fat maintaining muscle... an seeing a decline in body problems.....
I think you missed her whole point. She is not saying that if you have stress, you will become fat, She is saying people who have higher stress levels for long periods of time are susceptible to belly fat. She is saying the hormone cortisol that is released into our blood is the reason for someone to be susceptible to belly fat. Cortisol hormone is the fight, flight, or freeze reaction when our body feels it is being threatened. We all have stressful moments, but some people stay in high stress mode, and constantly having the cortisol hormone released into their bloodstream at a much higher level and for longer periods of time. Those are the people she is talking about.
I do appreciate your ideas on eating healthy and you have given me some excellent food ideas to incorporate into my healthy meal planning. Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive when you have the right foods and you have no problem making the meals your self.
