[Music] you know I had this patient uh she’s 25 years old she weighed 325 lbs and she came in and she did my program the first month she lost absolutely no weight but she wasn’t unhappy because her Cravings were gone she was sleeping better she had lots of energy her skin tone was much better and then the second month she lost 21 lbs third month she lost 63 lb it was at that point where I really realized that you don’t lose weight to get healthy you have to get healthy to lose weight and this principle has been so successful that in fact I don’t even know a time where it didn’t work it works pretty much in everyone and if a person doesn’t understand that philosophy of that sequence it boils down to a correct sequence they’re very susceptible to the next unhealthy program that com along and there’s so many unhealthy programs and I’m not going to mention any unhealthy program names calerie counting uh prepackaged Foods B12 shots all these programs don’t necessarily get you healthy the foundation of getting healthy is actually nutrients so unless the person has the nutrition in those calories you never have increased the Health in fact Cravings won’t go away either one of the reasons why people have cravings has to do with nutrients do they have nutrients in the calories or not if you stimulate the body with B12 shots and all sorts of diet drinks you won’t necessarily improve the person’s health so the first principle that you need to know is that you need to get healthy then lose the weight so one of the things I want to talk about is the adrenal body type um the adrenal gland monitors stress it counters stress so all the stress in your body um is reacted to by the adrenal gland hormone so there’s a couple things you need to know about stress stress is accumulative old injuries injuries infections um there’s no difference no reaction difference between having a loss of a loved one and getting hit by a car it’s the same reaction on the adrenal so all stress is cumulative and um one of the things that we found with adrenals is that the adrenal gland tends to keep the body in a constant state of stress and that interferes with sleep so let’s take a look at sleep here and we have um this time picture this is midnight and this is noon and this is when you sleep take a look at these waves right here this is the hormone called growth hormone and this is where you burn all of the fat you don’t really burn any of the fat during the day it’s all at night I mean you might burn a tiny bit during the day but it mainly happens at night and here’s the problem is that stress hormone cortisol uh interferes with growth hormone so the more stress you have the less you can sleep uh in fact let’s just take a look at something right here when you go to sleep there are four waves or what’s called circadian rhythms that one goes through um these are 90minut Cycles they actually go 90 to 110 and this is the REM sleep that’s when you dream it’s very active it’s actually not a um restful sleep but rapid eye movement is is kind of a superficial type sleep now down here is where you have the Delta wave this is the really good sleep that’s all the Regeneration that’s the Rejuvenation this is where you burn the fat right here what you do during the day like how you exercise all that um affects you at night when you’re sleeping in fact it all the um exercise and the eating good things that you do during the day will end up burning fat 14 to 48 hours later when you’re sleeping so sleeping is a very very very important part of burning fat in fact if you’re not sleeping and you burn all the fat when you’re sleeping then it’s obvious what’s causing the problem but the sleep cycles are important important to remember and also just to realize that um getting the proper sleep when people sleep they go to bed like at 1 you miss the wave so you never get that full Rejuvenation um with the adrenal body type um they can’t really get to sleep if they if they don’t go to sleep by a certain time they miss the wave and now it takes like 90 minutes to finally get into that sleep there’s something else I want to show you um I’m going to draw a body here this is my great handwriting here here’s what we found the body accumulates stress so it’s very important when um when evaluating someone that we look at the accumulated stress physical stress as it relates to um their sleep patterns so let’s say they broke their nose or they get hit in the nose or they got hit in the head they broke an arm they had a whiplash injury they had three children with a C section they fell on their knees many times sprained ankles they fell in their tailbone which uh locks up the back of the the neck right here see what happens when you injure uh a part of your body the force gets stuck on the next bone over so if you fell on your hand your elbow will start hurting or your shoulder so let’s say they had that they fractured a rib they have their gallbladder removed appendix removed tonsu removed sinus problems asthma these are all the questions that I’m interested in knowing about because that’s the stuff that is still stuck there so the body especially the adrenal gland circuits tend to um keep the pain or not just the pain but the energy stuck in these different points so we do what’s called ACU pressure and the ACU pressure is a technique to release this old stress uh from old old um infections or old injuries and when you release that stress and it’s done in a very unique way um we don’t actually press on the old injury we release it with a technique called aset acupressure stress elimination technique it really helps a person get into the deep sleep cycles right here so we actually do a test and I want to show you uh a diagram of this test I’ll show you what it looks like this right here it’s a little blur but you can see this is one of the tests that we do we measure power of the nervous system this dial right here should be completely balanced it should be right here it shouldn’t be that low this tells me the person is uh burnt out so we’re actually able to measure how much stress is in the body so let’s take a look at someone else here and this one right here here’s another example this person is physically really stuck in a lot of stress it’s way too high High remember this one should be balanced so this person is stuck in stress this person is already burnt out this person is in the process of burning out this person already achieved burnout so the reason why we do this test is we’re able to measure how much stress is in your body and we use this as our our feedback to when we do the technique acupressure we do before and after so we’re able to see the stress coming out of the body the thing that most people focus on is trying to they’re tired and they try to stimulate their body with a B12 shot or a caffeine or something like that we have a different approach we’re extracting old stress from the body that makes the graph get better and pulls the stress out and allows the person to sleep better that’s part of our program now if the person has good graphs we don’t do that but if they have a lot of old stress stuck in the body it’s essential to help them it’s one part of the uh getting healthy um removing stress it’s why because of this darn hormone called cortisol cortisol interferes with weight loss so the more stress we can extract from your body the the better chance you have of losing weight
