the next body type we’re going to talk about is going to be called the adrenal now the adrenal gland sits on top of the kidney right here you got two of them go ahead and put your fingers on your adrenals now the adrenal gland is a stress gland how many have ever experienced stressed before got 1 2 3 4 5 six give me an example of what stresses people outa work traffic children kids husbands being overweight School Rel relationships life finances wow you guys can relate to that um how many have ever had a stressful relationship before at least once twice okay we’ll stop right there um so the adrenal reacts and adapts the body to stress so if you pretend like you’re being chased by a tiger for the next 10 years and how your body would react to that that’s what happens with the adrenals over time when it burns out well if you’re being chased by a tiger you’re not going to be able to sleep okay you’re not going to be able to reproduce so you’re going to have problems with hormones reproductive hormones you’re going have problems with digestion you’re going problems with blood pressure and cholesterol and all these other things with blood sugars because you’re running on sugar so I’m going to go through all of them but the adrenals regulate stress and stress does accumulate yes you’re like a bucket and you filled up in fact there is always some stress that has occurred right before you started developing a stubborn weight issue always if you ask a person they think it’s just calories right well if you take it back when did you start gaining weight what happened just before that you’re going to find that they had a baby c-section a surgery a hysterctomy tubal liation they got married they got a divorce all on that same date now they have just a lot of different stresses I’ve had people even as kids be be overweight and many times it comes after an asthma attack or or a ear infection or a throat infection so many things that can stress the body out but stress does accumulate and over time you develop too many applications on your desktop computer which is your body so all these things accumulate and you’re just like a bucket of stress um you’re kind some people when we measure the inside of you are so jacked up they can’t sleep they can’t relax so I would say um probably the biggest thing that stresses people out are other people is that true there’s certain personality types that kind of get to you you got the whiner right they’re like um will you please help me will you please help me do they ever accept your help no you just want to help you just want to like okay let me push you downstairs now do you want my help so it’s like you have whiners you have the antagonistic person who’s rude you have um the real depressed person that brings you down you’ll give them a solution they say no that will never work or you have those really happy people that are always this happy that doesn’t stress me out but sometimes it’s like if you’re depressed you don’t really like these happy people they’re just too positive all the time but there’s one personality type that really gets on my nerves and they call it the um passive aggressive called underminers now let me show you what they what they look like so everyone look at me very very hostile right now you’re smiling look at me very mean okay now smile hi nice to meet you they’re going to backstab you to your face they told you they stood up for you but they actually ruin your reputation they love Gossip how many of you know anyone like that they give you a compliment but they follow it up with a sharp critical comment they’ll say something like hey that’s a nice uh jacket was it on sale I’m like who would ever say that it’s like oh that’s a nice haircut did you get at cheap cuts my uncle I mean um actually yes it was my uncle um he goes uh congratulations you graduated as a as a chiropractor congratulations hey why don’t you want to become a real doctor so um you have have people that are bringing you up and people that are bringing you down right so those people they bring you down covertly so they’re very introverting they’ll they’ll um do something like this are you feeling okay you look really tired are you sick and you’re like I was fine until you said that so I do have a way of getting back at these people if You’ like to know about that anyone want to know the technique okay just reverse the flow just do it back to them have you had has that been growing for a while you don’t have anything in your face they’ll be in the bathroom for hours looking at their face going is there anything on here because they’re introverting you so yeah okay so let’s move on to something less stressful but if you’re in a relationship like that or someone’s connected and you’re trying to reason with them don’t hold your breath you can’t reason with them that’s what frustrates you because you just want to get them to see can’t you see that you’re crazy no they’re not going to see they have to be right they’d rather be right than successful so you just better off just ignoring them okay so adrenal when the adrenal gland gets burnt out your tolerance or stress goes down you don’t tolerate people anymore people get on your nerves you become edgy um especially incompetent people people that make mistakes you kind of like you might react more than you should right you’re not going crazy okay it’s the adrenals because the tolerance of stress your ability to tolerate St stuff this kind of buffers it so sometimes that buffer goes down and you’re and you’re just kind of on edge all the time um the way you think it’s not linear it’s like popcorn thoughts just come in there like this um your memory starts the adrenal affects the GPS in the brain so it’s kind of like you’re going downstairs you’re like um what am I looking for again got a backtrack okay um you’ll be talking to someone but you’re actually having another conversation in your head you might be waiting for the person to stop talking so you can talk because you’re kind of thinking too fast it’s going too fast what you’re doing you’re solving problems 24/7 you can’t stop solving problems in fact you can’t stop thinking so with adrenal they do a lot of thinking and uh because they’re in a survival mode it’s called flight or fight mode that is uh the problem with that is it stir up adrenals even more what they should be doing is just turn it off for at least I don’t know like a half hour a day go for a walk look at a tree a bird a cloud and just get Space don’t get the headphones on and you know look at your computer all the time how many of you sit in front of a computer more than um five hours a day 16 16 hours a day wow um that what happens is that it really kind of the computers and everything kind of will stress your your body too especially if you have the computer right right next to your body I would try to get as far away as possible um and even when you go to sleep at night make sure there’s no electrical stuff right by your head um you got cell phones you know all that stuff I I’m very sensitive to um energies and I can pick up like I don’t like talking in that cell phone somehow it just like feels like there’s a microwave in my brain so I’m like okay I got to go you know just that’s why everyone’s like what’s your cell phone number uh I never pick it up CU I don’t like that cell phone so the adrenal when the adrenal gets stressed you can’t tolerate stress and you start increasing hormones that are going to cause belly fat all right so this is an adrenal body type shape right here the weight is right there now why is it in the belly primarily because your body’s in survival and as a stress mechanism you’re going to hold it around the most important organs which happen to be in your midsection your body’s trying to survive it’s trying to help you it’s protecting you aga
