Is Your Butt Turning Into Your Belly at MENOPAUSE? – Dr. Berg

Take Dr. Berg’s Advanced Evaluation Quiz: http://bit.ly/EvalQuiz

Hey guys, Dr. Bur here. I have a question off my website. Someone wants to know um why during menopause is she losing her butt and her bell is getting bigger. Okay.

So, I’m going to show you what that’s all about. Turn to the adrenal chapter. Okay. All right. So, this is in chapter five.

And here’s what happens during menopause. The adrenal glands have to back up the ovary. In fact, they take over. They make the same hormones as the ovaries. So, when the ovaries go in retirement, the adrenals have to then take over.

If the adrenals are stressed out, okay, what happens is you’ll have an excessive amount of adrenal hormones that you normally shouldn’t have. And that excessive adrenal hormones during menopause literally destroys proteins. Now, what it’s doing, it’s robbing, it’s stealing protein from two main muscle groups. One is the glutamus maximus, and that’s your behind, your butt, and it’s also um your quadricep. That’s the thigh muscle.

So, it’s stripping off muscles, protein from your butt and your thighs. Okay? It’s converting it to sugar which then is converted to fat primarily around the middle section. Okay. Now you probably have seen this in women after menopause they get this huge trunk this midsection with two little stick legs when before menopause they had a nice little curve and now they lost their butt.

The butt has turned into the belly and that has to do with the adrenal hormone. Okay. So, what happens if your adrenal glands get bad is your your butt turns into your belly. Okay, that’s really what happens. And that’s why the legs get really really thin.

They look like they’re really lean, but they’re really atrophying. They’re weaker and they get a little flabby sometimes as well. Okay, so what what you need to do is not necessarily eat a lot of protein. That’s not going to work. What you have to do is fix the adrenal.

It’s not a little thing. It’s a it’s a big thing and it it requires a lot of different things from changing the diet, taking the right nutrition, doing the right exercise, sleeping, all those things which I discuss in the book. Uh it’s not just taking one pill. So I just want to answer that question and kind of guide you on if you have that problem where you need to start doing your research and focus is on the adrenal. Okay, I’ll see you in the next video.
