hi guys in this video we want to talk about belly swelling you know the person that wakes out in the morning and their stomach is somewhat flat but towards the end of the day you feel like you’re pregnant your stomach is bulging out what is that and how do we correct it it’s one of two things it’s either high insulin or it’s low cortisol okay but odds are high insulin it’s very rare to have it to be low cortisol but that could be a factor so let’s first talk about the most common reason it’s high insulin so many people are insulin resistance which basically they have high levels of insulin there are pre-diabetic now one thing you need to know about insulin it is this it is a inflammatory hormone it will create inflammation okay so if you have too much insulin you’re going to basically create inflammation in your gut around the fat and it’s going to swell up that’s what’s happening let’s talk about what would increase insulin well you maybe already know this but eating carbs will do it combining protein and carbohydrates together will do it but there’s something that’s even bigger and that would be eating in general every time you eat you increase insulin so I’m not saying don’t eat but I’m just saying the frequency of eating if you do five small meals a day if you do three meals a day and you snack at night boom you’re going to swell your belly okay so really it’s it’s the spike of insulin because you’re eating so one of the best things to do to fix this is to have do intermittent fasting no more snacks start with three meals a day okay no snacks so you might have to add a little bit of fat at the end of that meal to go from one meal to the next and I’m sure that you if you’ve been watching the videos you already know that but for those of you that don’t I’ll put a link down below about intermittent fasting if you can get to two meals a day you will not have a swollen belly okay unless you can’t tolerate fat in which case you have to reduce your fats which is another another video but the point is that we want to decrease carbs do intermittent fasting for the swelling the next thing is the cortisol when you run out of cortisol you get inflamed because cortisol which is an adrenal hormone that is an anti-inflammatory that’s why if you have pain or inflammation the doctors give you prednisone or cortisone why because that’s an anti-inflammatory so when your body runs out of cortisol you start becoming inflamed it’s definitely on the gut as well and in joints as well so to fix that you want to support the adrenal gland itself lower the stress go for long walks vitamin D high amounts of potassium I’ll put the link down below to get more data on that if you need to go into this but mainly it’s going to be this one right here all right go ahead and apply this and tell me what you think hi guys hey listen I created a pretty amazing evaluation quiz down below that actually analyzes your symptoms to find the cause the root cause of all of your symptoms the most likely cause so take the quiz now and we’ll send you a report
