Dr. Berg’s Body Types

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

in this next slide you’ll see a image of four bodies it’s called dr. Berg’s body types in the last 13 years I’ve been discovering different unique factors about people and their shapes and where they hold weight and I developed a technology of body types and in the first body type you’re gonna see the adrenal body type that person holds weight in the midsection and you probably see a lot of people that you know like this they hold it in this belly its belly fat it’s called the pendulous abdomen because it sags and it hangs in the next shape you’ll see the ovary body type that’s the person with the saddlebag on the side you’ll see a lot of women look that look like that not men simply because it’s coming from the ovary so it’d be an ovary body type men don’t have ovaries so obviously women that produce excess estrogen are going to develop that in the lower pooj and and the side of the thigh the next body type is called a thyroid body type simply because the person has weight all over not in any one location why is it all over simply because the thyroid hormones innervate and control all of the cells in the body and when the thyroid doesn’t work correctly the person starts expanding at every part of their body in the legs and the neck and the arms so you can you can now differentiate there are different body shapes and the last body type you’ll see more of a belly but it’s more of a protruding belly like a basketball and you see that a lot of men difference between that shape and the first body is that it’s a protruding belly and it just you could put a plate right at the top of it because it sticks right out and you usually see that on the guy on the beach with the speedo he wears he has his potbelly and he he’s proud of his belly so you have the adrenal body type which is the first one which is sagging and that body type by the way has very interesting characteristics it’s interesting to note that if that person has a belly they usually are under lots and lots of stress because that’s coming from a gland called the adrenal when the adrenal gland does not perform like it should this person developing sleep problems lower tolerance to stress impatient low tolerance to incompetent people mistakes errors they’re always thinking 24/7 they can’t turn it off they crave salty foods they have calcium problems they can’t absorb calcium they might crave chocolate they have problems with fluid in their ankles if it’s a female they might get facial hair or acne other than that they’re perfectly fine but with that body type they have very specific characteristics in the next body type you’ll see the ovary now the ovary type is mainly related to estrogen because it’s related to the ovaries in and every month female goes through a menstrual cycle so a lot of times in this body type they have problems with the cycle whether it’s excessive bloating excessive cramps irritability extra weight gain that time of the month anything related to cyclic problems they might create ice cream they have problems with excessive cellulite and the side leg so that would be about that body type the next body type would be the thyroid body type that person has cravings to carbohydrates specifically refined carbohydrates like breads pasta cereal crackers biscuits waffles pancakes muffins sodas juice things like that they have hair loss they have loose skin underneath ur their chin underneath their arms their nails are ridged vertically ridge nails they have problems with cold feet a lot of times they’re depressed they can’t absorb vitamins so they have a lot of problems related to that thyroid they also have a problem with depression the last body type the liver is very unique in that the person’s belly many times is not actual fat it’s fluid if you look at the definition of the word ascites that comes from the derivation latin which means fluid the liver is leaking fluid into a sac around the abdomen so instead of actual fat they might have some fat but if you do a body fat testing it’s fairly normal that person is filled with fluid they’ll have problems with the right shoulder why because the livers on the right side and you can refer to the right shoulder they crave fatty foods they like deep fried foods they have little skin problems they have little red dots they had on their skin they have problems with low back stiffness they have problems with arthritis their whites of their eyes are yellow they have bad skin their their feet are hot so they’re always either scratching and they have digestive problems bloating things like that because the liver can create all those problems so basically what I’m saying here not all bodies are the same each body has a different problem the problem with me teaching you this now is you’re going to evaluate every one from the standpoint of body type so just don’t mention my name when you’re observing someone walking on the street that looks like a liver body type and just don’t mention oh you’re a liver body type or your thyroid body type but the point is that bodies are different and each body needs a different program
