hey guys had another question from someone that wanted to know what is the hormone glucagon I’ve talked a lot about insulin but I haven’t really talked about glucagon and your pancreas you have two cells you have the beta cells that basically make insulin but you also have alpha cells which make another hormone called glucagon and glucagon basically opposes insulin so if insulin will lower blood sugar and then glucagon will raise blood sugar how by breaking down glycogen which is stored sugar in your liver it also will make new glucose if it needs to that’s called gluconeogenesis it will also activate fat release that’s why it’s one of the major fat burning hormones it will inhibit fat storage insulin will cause fat storage it will also increase bile release as well so we want higher amounts of glucagon and lower amounts of insulin all right now the question is what triggers glucagon number one lower blood glucose or lower insulin okay it’s a ketogenic diet in a minute fasting alright number two amino acids which are proteins if it’s in a moderate amount okay if it’s a little too high and also if the carbs are too high insulin is going to override this whole mechanism because insulin is a dominating hormone so you really have to make sure that there’s a low carb situation and a moderate amount of protein make note number three exercise and the more exhaustive it is the more triggering up to four to five times all right there you have it that’s what glucagon is so I hope you’re coming to the keto health summit coming up in October so I want to quickly comment on what we’re gonna do that’s different from other conventions okay the problem with these other conventions is they give you information over a load okay it’s so much data that you’re basically swimming in a sea of information we’re going to do things very differently we’re only going to cover the most important things that make a huge difference now there are three very powerful strategies that we’re going to be talking about at the summit that you will not find and any of my youtube videos number one is on memory I’m going to be showing you something very cool to dramatically increase your memory and concentration that’s going to blow you away and number two I’m going to show you how to increase your stress tolerance so you are completely calm all the time alright and number three and most importantly if you have a slow metabolism if you’ve dyed it for a long time and everything is kind of just really slow I’m going to show you how to get complete control over your metabolism so you can literally turn up the dial as high as you want and control as much weight as you want to lose and these three things are just a tiny bit of what you’re going to learn in the summit so click the link below get signed up and I will see you in October
