Find Your Body Type: http://bit.ly/BodyTypeQuiz

the problems that people have if they ever been injected by a steroid or prednisone would be more adrenal problems that’s why when you get too many injections your your face actually becomes round and you start getting more belly fat I this his patient she was a swimsuit model had one injection of a prednisone shot and her heel spur and four years later just huge in fact one of the things that caused my health problem when I was 28 is that I had steyr steroid shots for poison ivy five years in a row and I noticed that that was when my health started going down so they have problems with pain they have problems with fluid and water why because the adrenals control the salts of the body the electrolytes so when you run out of the salt you’re gonna tend to crave salty foods so that would be chips cheesy things just plain salt in general they like the nuts they’re like that crunchy if you they take their socks off at night they’d see that little ring around the ankle that’s pitting edema that’s adrenal if you take a test on them their fluids they’re completely dehydrated yet they have fluid retention to the exact same thing so they have this water that’s going outside the cell and they’re waterlogged in the ankles you should not be able to press on your ankle and leave a dent so that’s not normal so they have fluid issues and what do people tell you to do drink more water right the problem is they just they’re waterlogged the more they drink the more dehydrated they become because water doesn’t hydrate you it’s a combination of water plus electrolytes plus good adrenals all three of those together so just drink when you’re thirsty you can overdo it so they also crave chocolate how many of you like chocolate okay chocolate makes you feel better doesn’t it increases a hormone what’s the hormone that it increases serotonin serotonin is the hormone that makes you feel better serotonin gets stimulated by chocolate seventy five percent of the serotonin is made by the adrenal glands interesting so the adrenals will take the muscle from your thighs strip it down and turn it into fat around your vital organs so this person’s belly is coming from muscle tissue primarily in the front part of the legs and the gluttonous Maximus what muscle is that your butt muscle so it starts to go from here to here and this person there mine has this idea I’m gonna do some sit-ups how many sit-ups it’s gonna take to flatten that belly a long time it won’t work because it’s not coming from a lack of abdominal muscles it’s coming from a hormone called cortisol cortisol is a very deadly hormone it’s very destructive on your tissues it’s an aging hormone it makes you old quick and it makes you large in the belly so this person usually is uh up at night because they can’t sleep so they usually watch the infomercials and they get that bun machine that six-minute AB machine they start doing sit-ups and it just never works so it really comes from the inside out I’m gonna just see if I can show you another image here okay salt in chocolate these are two adrenal craving things so I point it at it oh well it worked before I just don’t know what to point it to okay how about that okay all right adrenal adrenal body types are stuck in anxiety nervousness they get high blood pressure why because everything is going too fast their adrenals are jacked up and everything’s kind of going high and they don’t have that push down that calming ability to sleep and they their ability to burn when you have high cortisol levels which is a stress hormone the fat burning hormones are blocked they’re nullified so you could do a lot of good a lot of workouts good eating but if the chorus all is too high the weights not going to come off so what happens if people don’t see results they tend to give up and then they think that they have low willpower when in fact they’re just it’s coming from a hormone that’s blocking their progress so it’s very difficult to have motivation if you’re not seeing results so the key is finding out what the problem really is with cortisol it’ll just it’ll create all sorts of problems with blood pressure heart rate and a good indication of how healthy the adrenals are or how fast your heart weight can come down within one minute after doing a like a short burst of exercise the current research on heart rate is very interesting with the risk for heart attacks the pulse rate should come down greater than 12 or more so you want a fast downward motion after one minute if it’s only like six or eight then you’re at risk for a heart problem so you wouldn’t want to do high-intensity workouts so we’re gonna get more into exercise but the pulse rate the body won’t let the pulse rate come down as fast if there’s an adrenal issue one of the principles I want to talk about while we’re on the topic is that you’ve been taught that you need to lose weight right to get healthy because if you ask people’s goal they want to I says why do you want to lose weight they say I want to be healthier when in fact you have to get healthy before you lose weight I had a patient who is she came in she weighed 325 pounds she did my program and the first month she lost zero pounds but her energy was better her cravings were better the second less she lost 21 pounds the third month she lost 63 pounds so what we found is people tend to lose weight as they get healthier as compared to what most people are focused on the weight trying to get healthy it’s very—it’s backwards if you don’t understand that principle you’re very susceptible to the next unhealthy diet that comes along that could actually not improve your health I’m not going to mention on health
