  • Are you serious...marijuana increasing stress. Very uneducated statement. Especially for those who do not smoke it and have other ways of using it. Vaporizers or edibles. Educate yourself. And just because doctors say theirs a disorder from marijuana doesn't mean they are correct. They have been wrong or controversial for like 99% of medical history about everything. (Not an actual fact- just my opinion)

  • @BeautifulDisaster825 Although you are correct to an extent, Marijuana for most people can relax them, but for people who suffer from anxiety (being myself) I personally used to smoke weed for years and during that time thought i was having a heart attack and even went to the ER for a "heart attack", found out later that the weed was messing with the chemical synapse causing my brain to fire off unevenly, inducing a panic attack. So please, enough with the uneducated talk.

  • Okay so for number one.Do not take the drug that can directly mimick the stress response or get off it.

    For number two.IF U NEED to get off the drug in the first place,do it very gradually,while under the doctor's care.

    For number 3...Put more vitamins and minerals back into your system so there will not be any deficiencies.

    When it comes to emotional, psychiatric disorders, YOU, not her, not me, not anyone, is the expert of your own body.If psych. meds help, there's no shame in that either.

  • thank god im Muslim , because Islam doesn't allowed us to harm or abuse our body in any anyway .......only truly Muslim do

  • if you want more views wear less clothes :D

  • how do you get rid of these habits like smoking,coffee.

  • @8066Donald1 the best way i have found is to use the nicotine patches and step down gradually over about 8 weeks. it is absolutely crucial not to smoke during this duration. i would start on a friday because you are going to be most irritable for the next 3-5 days and you atleast have the weekend to relax. this also applies to the transition between steps. whenever you have the urge to smoke go for a walk. continue aerobic exercise after cessation along with good diet and steady sleep pattern.

  • when you have P.T.S.D the only thing that calms you down is weed..

  • Hi Natalie, can you send me references that support your presentation?

  • This was a good watch, but also that background is amazing. I'd love to be wherever that picture was taken, when it was taken.

  • I use marijuana a only a few times a month or every other month at night when I can be alone as a tool for inner journeys of understanding my self & emotionally refreshing & releasing & healing wounds I feel no with-drawl at all and feel like if everyone could use it like I do it could benefit life.

    However I was once addicted and smoked just to 'feel good' and couldn't feel good with out it, which like you said is counter-productive.If you can't feel good normally you need to fix that first.

  • Can i mix caffeine with xanax? anybody know???

  • Don't trust anything you read from other addicts - their logic is built around their attachments and addictions. And they want to drag you with them.

  • Weed withdrawal took me 2 weeks (relatively intense), mostly emotional ups and downs, as if the body was demanding it's high like a child demands a candy, confusion, crying, crazy thoughts, etc. After that the peace and sharpness I have forgotten began to return and I was like FUCK.... thankfully I woke up and quit, got out of the ditch. Don't trust anything you read from other addicts - their logic is built around their attachments and addictions. And they want to drag you with them.

  • meditation, nature and yoga are the only true medicine

  • I smoked weed for about 2 years consistently - it slowly sipped itself into my system starting from "occasional" hanging out with friends. I was lucky to have had enough insight to quit and I feel SO much better now. It is very tricky and it takes intelligence to get off it. It does not help - it just creates an illusion of being helpful while it slowly makes you retarded, gives you bad memory, and takes away clarity, speed and intuition. Very dangerous.

  • another high school project video, im sure this one got an A

  • your backyard... is just... fantastic.. so vibrant.. and inanimated.. is that a mountain? gall! I need to climb that mountain.

  • Is not Ritalin just Crack?

  • I think you must be a drug Natalie, because Im getting hooked on you!

  • no research paper can be provided based on single blood test for the referred disorders from psychiatric desk manual she is advertising lol

    as she may also easily find out %80-90 or the revenue of association comes from advertisements in their annual meeting booklet LMAO i wonder if she reserves time to correct this but hey without the requirement of single unit nutrution class they graduate as psychologists LOL neuropsychopharmacology is the only hope to get rid of american pyschiatry ass

  • i dont really know what shes talking about im just gazing at her talk shes pretty hot.

  • WHAT ABOUT IF YOU LIVE IN AUSTRALIA? WHATS SO GOOD ABOUT AMERICA?? FKN DUMMY!!!

  • @hotpsych1

    haha i know what you mean. I am Indian in India, I lived in US 6 years but to claim this general video which can be applied to any human on earth, is just for those in US of A is itself utter bollocks. Maybe it came from the presenter making too many videos than she could handle and then the resulting stress, lol

  • You commentators are hilarious. You LOVE Natalie when she is strictly speaking food (too much I might add - vulgar most often), but when she veers off that path the claws come out you!!!

  • i dont like you or anything your about

  • Which was it @14:16 ? Caffeine or Cocaine?

  • You are talking textbook. Every case is different, patient to patient. Some doctors believe a small amount of coffee is not bad for you. Well. Just look at this realistically. Consumer science is trying to adjust its rules so that they fit everybody. This actually leads to misconception about many things. My take is - MEAT is bad for you. But you like steak, right? Meat in me personally leads to hightened anxiety.

  • Thank you very much. I smoke mary jane daily and it's having adverse effects with my stress levels so this helps alot.

  • Thank You for the information..... it is very hepful for me because I am going through these detox situations at this time. And you are very insightful to me during this troubled time...... Thank You again and God Bless !!!

  • very informative, unlike your 1st video. For what its worth... youre obnoixouly sexy, this video was helpful and THANKS FOR TURNING THE MUSIC OFF FROM VIDEO 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have had anxiety my whole life. Even before I took any drugs. Caffeine, pharms, etc...

  • My doctor prescribed me Adipex-P (37.5 MG) for two months for weight loss. I was at 270 when I started, at the end (1 and a half months) I was 235 lbs. I dropped the drug completely, because I was having panic attacks every single morning, and about once an hour. So, he gave me Valium for a week then Ativan for 21 days. Haha... My doctor kinda screwed me up :)

  • just watching you sand listening to you calmed my anx ;).. your a babe ...

  • @firfuksake: Same here man. She talks like a Guru.

  • Cortisol ya'll.

  • Yes that "not feeling good" part is "I'm not high anymore", it's a feeling of normality, not discomfort or pain. Your body detoxes EVERYTHING you put in it, drugs, food, liqiuds etc. You smoke weed, get high, it detoxes, you lose the high. Same exact principle goes for eating food when you're hungry. You feel fuller, it digests (detoxes) you feel hungry again. Btw that background is very pretty and trippy, it makes me wanna smoke weed and run through it while listening to Bluetech.

  • Since weed is illegal, feeling paranoid is understandable. Making sure people you know wont say anything about what your doing. Minor traffic stops are probably pretty stressful. I'd feel pretty paranoid if I got pulled over for running a stoplight and hoped to god the cop doesn’t smell anything or decide to search me.

  • If you think that diet can manage a neurological disease you are a moron. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR YOU TO SPEAK AS IF YOU HAVE ANY MEDICAL CREDENTIALS. YOU ARE DANGEROUS. Some people require medications. I for one think youd benefit enormously by looking into a few...few meaning you should be on more thaan one.

  • I drink Chamomile Tea, n chew on Lavender leaves. I use lavender body wash, and shave with lavender foam, n use lavender oil after. All before bed, n i use a eye mask, but I that's because I have a sleep disorder... I use to take an anti depressant from 19 to 23 yrs old. I still hav to take care of my sleep pattern four years later. Do you hav suggestions...

  • jjj

  • natalie, please marry me

  • I've been a casual smoker for the past 2-3 years without any problems at all. I played sports, ate lots of food, and generally felt healthy. Then about 6 months ago I was prescribed adderall because of my ADHD and it helped. However it only paid off in the classroom. So long story short I've developed some VERY bad habits lately. I smoke more, have no social skills, drink TONS of caffeine, don't exercise, and I have a bad diet. WHY?! I'm mad b/c I feel defeated, but I'm scared that I'll die!!

  • great video, a beautiful woman providing a weath of useful information! love it.

  • there is no withdrawals if you have 1-2drinks for social occasions. not everyone drinks everyday nor drink to get drunk.

  • Thank you for being a normal ,normal.normal....im so so high on weed and having my panic attack at this very moment....very helpful info.

  • this is really good information for anxiety in general and stresss....my anxiety had gotten wrose from medication.....Increasing my heartrate and theln not. One drug called Effecor I heard give you "brain shivers" as a widthdrawl. d

  • Awesome Video...

  • I have been prescribed ADHD drugs for years and failed on every drug because it felt so hard and made my body feel burned out and malnourished and using caffeine every day was the same and I was prescribed Desoxyn tabs and took 20 mg 4 times a day and that is rx meth and I ate and slept and wasn't pumped up or anxious or psychotic like all other stims and it was mental and didn't make me high and was easiest to stop taking and all other stims made me fear it's impact on my body...

  • great video, so far everything i've seen from you has been reasonable, keep up the good work!

  • um, what if you HAVE an anxiety disorder.. such as panic disorder, where you have an issue with an imbalanced fight or flight response? What if you don't take caffeine, since it triggers anxiety and paranoia... what if you SMOKE because it relieves some of the anxiety ASSOCIATED with having an anxiety disorder such as GAD or panic disorder, which is WHY you self medicate because it helps RELIEVE some of the symptoms GAD or panic disorder gives you??

  • I do not and will not take medications such as xanax because of the high risk of addiction associated with it. I have been prescribed several different SSRIs to help treat my anxiety, and depression that is a cause of my anxiety. But the SSRIs seem to just cause further side effects, that make matters worse and don't directly cure the anxiety. SO what are medications I CAN take that are not addictive but WILL help cure that chemical imbalance that is causing my Panic Disorder and GAD?

  • cannabis is the only drug for me...

    ive tired different drugs out a curiousity tho. i just snorted 40mg of focalin, and 5 hours later its 3 am and im fucked up a regretting it. im just amazed people take 20mg on a daily basis.

    im having to smoke weed so i chill the fuck out from this. its hella stronger than midgrade cocaine, and thats what kdis are being perscribed?!?!

  • that would be because you snorted it, which you aren't supposed to, and because you snorted it at 10pm. if you swallow it at 8 in the morning it's a different story.

    BUT

    stimulants suck, i agree. depressants too. it's weed and psychedelics for me

  • What is good for comming off depressants, such as shakiness, feeling bad maby more depression. I found out it could take many months for your body to readjust from the side effects.

  • cannabis and strong drink are sanctioned by god in the bible for the spirit uplifting proporties of each and also for the other various uses of hemp and other herbs. also i wouldnt consider dmt a "drug" from my point of view either nor mushrooms/ any plants. all the things mention excluding alchohol are all drugs not physically addicting. anything can be addicting by the way, its human nature lol, people can be addicted to something and not even achnowledge it as so.

  • can you please do a video on acne and skin issues :)

  • yehh...is that linked to stress? :)

  • post note, have any of you ever heard of yuengling beer? christ it tastes like railroadtracks and old people homes, don't drink it!

  • There are no negative health effects by orally consuming marijuana, in fact it can be like vitamin C for the emotional & stress side of your brain... and studies show it can prevent and sometimes reverse brain tumors. Many psychedelic mushrooms are also a very useful emotional & spiritual medicine when used in that context, with no negative health affects.

  • Tabacco is the same as cocaine as is alcohol as is LSD they are all drugs and should be looked as such.

  • shut the fuck up you bitch!

  • @mistaben2k LOL you have never done any drugs have you,

    Lsd high compared to cocaine is like the differnce between Methamphetamine and morphine

  • Natalie... Please marry me!!! You're amazing.

  • mraches is a sheeeeeeeeeeeep......get a brain moron

  • It's refreshing to see such a beautiful woman with a brain. Great video!

  • 13:41 WHOA

  • Very smart woman! more people should watch this video.

  • i smoke a small amount of cannabis when i get off work before i take a bath. i take a hot bath, take a few hits before i get in , then take a few when i get out. this helps me with me anxiety and stress greatly. i take less then 10 hits of mary j a day though. dont abuse it because to much of a good thing can turn into a menace.

  • @512thewiseowl I compeltly agree with you ^_^b but with me haveing Tourettes i get to take my weed in pill form, becuase i don't wanna plug up my lungs with Cancer plus i can't roll to save my life lols. while in pill form it is such a treat at 7;30 when your in your jammies with a nice blow of smart pop watching cartoons and laughting like an idoit.... oh soo good XD

  • paraphrasing: "if stimulants make you calm, it's because you're addicted and alleviating the symptoms makes you calm".

    This is completely wrong. How do you explain the fact that the FIRST time I ever took a stimulant (dextroamphetamine) for ADD I felt much calmer than normal, and my mind was able to quiet down and not think of 5 things at the same time, as I normally do?

    It's known that people with ADHD/ADD have a "paradoxical" response to stimulants.

  • yes you may be correct about the " paradoxical" response,but that could be just that your a nutter.

  • funny, since a lot of 'nutters' report this, and are helped by this effect. Hey, maybe ADHD is fake after all, and we're all just 'nutters'! thanks mrarches!

  • report what

  • Speak for yourself,nut.

  • Legalize the herb!!!

  • NEVER LEGALIZE THE" SHIT "

  • You should Legalize it, don't be silly!

    It has more arguments for Legalizion than against!

  • in your mind it has.

  • No!!!

    You shouldn'd belive all that the television says

  • i dont believe wat tv says,i know weed is shite

  • I couldn't agree with you more.

  • ive got nothing against people smoking weed,but if we legalize it everyone will want to try it as legality will give it respectability,then we will have a country full of pot head losers.

  • This thinks some people, but in Dutchland the amount of smokers doesn't get more after legalzion

    sorry, my english is horrible^^

  • dutchland is a different culture,in england everyone would want weed if it were legal,because they are like sheep.

  • Legalize a drug that is considered a gateway to heavier drugs ? That would be a disaster waiting to happen especially in the UK where booze is already causing huge amounts of trouble.

  • It isn't a Gateway drug!

    If it be legal, you shouldn't hang out with heavier drug addicts and crimminals. Alkohol is much harder than weed, but that is legal and the persons don't use/see ist as Gatewaydrug

  • it can be a gateway drug as most people wouldnt dare touch heroin and hard drugs at first,but its much easier for people to try weed as it is considered a soft drug considered harmless by many,but once you have tried weed,its not always enough for some people and if your on weed ,well your half way to taking harder drugs.Its much easier to jump from weed to heroin or another hard drug,than to go from nothing to heroin.

  • You need to show the people how bad Heroin compared to weed is

  • well i dont think i need to explain the dangers of heroin as compared to weed to anyone,i think people will know that already.they just need to know that smoking weed can lead on to taking heroin.

  • Drinking Milk can also leed to heroin as weed!

    100 percent of heroin users had tried Milk bevore

  • now thats not even a valid point/argument and you know it.

    you see you weed smokers dont have an argument for weed not being a gateway drug,so you use stupid examples,like that,what the fuck has milk got to do with it .

  • Only 2 of my 58 Weedsmoking friends are going to harder drugs!

    Weed isn't a gateway drug!!!

  • ONLY 2?Times that by how many weed smokers there are and theres your heroin problem.

  • They schould learn to use weed, or they will end bad!

  • no,remember using weed is what got them onto using heroin.

  • I don't know where u live, but at my place the ppl can use Marihuana and stop how they wan't

    I smoke some joints and wait 3 Months until i smoke again

  • all the people use weed as they want and it never causes problems,

    "are they all robots"

  • The other people who belive the Anti-Cannabis Propaganda are robots

  • Theres a Heroin problem because your lovely and honest government allow it to be smuggled into the country because it makes peoples wallets fat, and it controls the population. The british empire use it against the asians.

  • 70% of heroin users say they started on weed first

  • hey mrarches,

    I bet 100% of heroin users say they drank milk before they smoked weed or did heroin.

    You can't actually say marijuana makes you do more drugs its the person who chooses to do different things not the weed, look it up honestly its unproven and actually quite silly even

  • the only thing thats silly on here is your milk comment.

    drugs are drugs and 1 can lead to another,common sense,which u dont seem to have.

  • Ok lets look at it this way then bud. If drugs are drugs then alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine can lead to marijuana which MAKES 70% of people want to try heroin by what you are saying. The vaaaaast majority of people have tried at least one of those first three which in fact are all drugs. Your common sense seems to be common brain wash so you're right i don't have "common sense". Please research scientific, reliable resources and you will agree with me. You're using opinion, not knowledge.

  • did your coffee this morning make you wanna light up a spliff? No nor did the spliff make you wanna cook a spoon and shoot up.

  • weed can lead to heroin use,fact. not in everyone but some.

    just because your not like that it dont say everyone isnt.

  • How many of them used alcohol first as well?

  • probably all of them, cigs,alcohol,weed then heroin?

  • i i have natalie in my arms when i am woke up in the morning i beileve my depression will dissapear instantly.what a sweet girl

  • Comment removed

  • i love this woman so much. very articulate. i've been stressing out alot, even to the point of getting suicidal thoughts, i'm taking GABA pills, but i might have to go on anti-depression/anxiety drugs soon, it sucks. i'd rather become dependant on a drug then take my own life.

  • good videos thank you!!

    been stressed out for a while and it sucks

    need to get my life on track

  • if anyone is trying to quit nicotene...take 400 mg of L-Theanine for two weeks...i chewed a tin of tobacco a day for 5 years and quit w/ no withdrawl symptoms! no b/s

  • you're 100% correct and extremely sexy!

  • fuk u, we dont need to be nervos all the time, i take 2 mg of xanax, and im STILL NERVOUS, U DONT UNDERSTAND CUZ U DONT HAVE a disorder!!!

  • i quit smoking pot and cigarettes and am going through withdrawal...now suck my dick bitch

  • loool she said caffeine instead of cocain 14:16

  • They have almost the same affects. caffeine just isnt as strong and doesnt make you tweak.

  • Hmm, well I'm a raw vegan and the only thing I occasionally eat on their is raw cacao (pure chocolate).

    I think she's turned me off it though....

    I only eat it VERY occasionally though, some serious thinking now...

  • ive got a serious question... is cocaine bad 4 u??

  • of course good crack though

  • in excess yes, used under the guidance of a doctor, it can save your life!

  • wow finally someone gave me an answer..... i guess i'll quit now that i know it can be bad 4 u.. i was wondering about the chronic nose bleeds

  • POWER THIRST!!!

  • Да я чот нехера непонял чо она там пиз@ит

  • Unlike your mom.

  • I just feel relaxed coming down from pot, not bad at all.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey I agree!

    After an evening of Cannabis intoxication, the next morning I feel so relaxed, I love it.

    And I've never felt any anxiety, paranoia that was induced by the drug itself although it has indeed amplified some of my fears whenever I induced them.

  • Caffeine keeps coming up in helping to stave off dementia/ Parkinsons etc..

    

    It might just be that the caffiene BLOCKS the endogenous chemical's like Dopamine from getting at the nueroreceptors.

    Domapine etc.. ultimately causes damage to nueroreceptors as you get older so caffiene blocking that action may produce those advantages.

  • Caffeine in coffee is linked with a decrease incidence of Parkinson's disease because it stimulates dopamine and some how regular stimulation of dopamine- which is depleted in Parkinson's - prevents the disease. Maybe it keeps the dopamine receptors "in motion."

  • love the videos to help reduce stress. thanks.

  • Drugs make you cool. Do you really want to risk becoming a loser by quitting drugs? Think about it.

  • What drugs?

  • drugs/alcohol help strees... nobody does it to be cool, they want the experience. drugs make you cool???? your dont no shit about whats going though teens minds.

  • Please learn what Sarcasm is all about.

  • not funny.

  • Unlike abortion.

  • still not funny...

  • Unlike AIDS.

  • still not funny...

  • ohh for fuck sake, lets just turn into robots!

  • i'd smash that

  • yeah, just read a black box warning on desoxyn and how addictive and how abused the drug is. i am looking for a booster to perform in music and get through trade school. i heard this drug can cause cardiovascular failure,etc. is this drug safer in low dosages? which is truely better for ad/hd; adderall IR or desoxyn?

  • i just recently heard about desoxyn, supposedly a methoamphetamine drug. is it really a powerful stimulant? what, i wonder, separates desoxyn from a hard core narcotic like ecstasy which is a pure methamphetamine? is desoxyn stronger than adderall ir?

  • would you marry me?

  • Your hair looks really beautiful down

  • I love these videos they are very informative. The problem I have is that it tells me what not to do. And very little on or specifically what to do or who to see. If all these people stop self medicating and stop there meds they will be in hell. What is the next step. These people medicate themselves because they are miserable. And they are not educated in nutrition and counseling. They need more than what not to do. Where do we start and how can we help create the next step?

  • Thank you, Natalie.

  • How, btw, can I improve my diet - especially since I'm not much of a cook? I note already about the stimulants - i.e, not going to them even though they are what I want right then. I just notice I use ice cream, chocolate, coffee and other stuff to escape but it doesn't really help - but it does in the moment. I get anxious anyway so I'm going to have to watch out what I eat - especially when i get feelings of fear, stress, anxiety, etc, from life events.

  • Self-medication can be around chocolate, ben and jerry's, using the internet, using the phone, right?

  • A great movie about prescription drugs in modern America ... "THE CHUMSCRUBBER"

  • NATALIE U ROCK=NO MORE CRACK FOR ME

    JK

  • BS on the part about Weed causing a mental disorder. I'd like to see these sources that you used to come up with that.

  • nah man id believe it ! i love my weed and all but i had a bad one last time around, i duno what happend but i jst started goin trippy and shit. everything turned into a kind of stop motion film. and i got really paro aswell. it was one of the worst moment in my life ! i have no problem with weed but you just hav to no how not to over do it.

  • dam i had that too. i was thinking all paranoid. thats why i quit smoking weed. everytime i smoke i get anxiety

  • true man, i cant believe ppl hate on ppl that are quitting i smoked for yrs

  • yes my respected collegue i too have had that....for shizzzz-up=the spat

    it waz pretty BitcHen Douh

    i mean it was a detramental situation that absolved me in a negitive way

    pretty FREAKY SHIT ocuurred after quittin herb

  • i smoke pot i take dhc and oxys and pregablins and anti depressants all the time and i do agree with what ur saying i just cant stop i cudnt imagine my life without the drugs peace and love to u all

  • Your cute.

  • I used to drink a pot+ of coffee per day. I gave it up a few years ago, but then I started putting cacao powder in my smoothies, and found myself hooked on a stimulant all over again. I'm now gratefully stimulant-free.

  • Psychtruth,

    I like this video, but I have one critique! Your videos would be much more honest and clear if you state that "withdrawal" from drugs is not always as severe as you claim. And that many people don't even notice these symptoms. I just want to point out that these symptoms are not necessarily going to happen and if they do happen they can be very light in severity.

    This gives both sides of the story.

  • Yea, I disagree, depending on the drug and duration of taking it, I think many drugs cause most of the people to have withdrawal symptoms most of the time.

    Take cigarettes for example.

  • I agree that withdrawal occurs, if you don't accept this than you are in denial. What I am talking about is the severity of withdrawal is rarely something to worry about, unless you are withdrawing from heroin or hard prescription drugs.

    Most people don't have severe withdrawal after they stop smoking,and in many ways that's why it is so pervasive.

    I agree with you 99%!

  • lauraboxer does have a point.. I was a heavy smoker of 10 yrs 6 months ago and was scared to quit for years because I, like all smokers are brainwashed into thinking it's near impossible to stop. Smoking is a mental addiction more than a physical addiction. The reality is that the withdrawals are just like hunger pangs that go away after a week or so...maybe even just 3 days which is minor compared to say... herion addiction. By the way I do love this channel and Nat always makes me feel calm.

  • ok how do you lower your sympatheic nervous system so that you can digest food and be more calm? ive been clean from every stimulant for over a year and im still suffering from an overactive sympathetic nervous system. its affected my digestion and weight a lot! any advice? (my thyroid and insulin levels are fine , i dont know whats going on or why my metabolism is so fast)

  • mm natalies pretty hot but would look much better with darker and straighter layered hair... mmm keep up the good work girl,

  • can i just say i miss this girl?

  • i am taking Vilift and it really takes care of my stress. no side effects too.
