hey guys Dr Burke here in this video we’re going to talk about the biggest barrier to weight loss and that is fatigue here’s the thing if you’re tired you’re not going to lose weight why because fatigue is not just about burning fat it’s about generating energy okay so many people are tired during the day yet they can’t sleep at night so the biggest reason why someone is tired and there are other reasons but the biggest one is that you’re not sleeping okay so I want to talk about how to fix the sleep that’s a real big Point um and just one point um when you’re sleeping you’re triggering the growth hormone that’s the main fat burning hormone and that helps you that’s why you burn most the fat when you’re sleeping if you’re sleeping okay so the point is we want to get your energy up so you can burn more fat but if you notice what happens when you sleep there’s actually a a cycle a wave of hormonal flows they’re called a circadian rhythm okay of growth hormone and it’s kind of similar to an alternator in your car where it’s recharging the battery and that’s what happens there’s four cycles of sleep that you go through that are supposed to generate the Deep Delta wave sleep so there’s something in your body that pushes you deeply into the sleep it’s not a passive it’s an active thing that pushes you into the sleep it’s the same mechanism in your body body that helps you recover from an injury recover from exercise so let’s say you spike your pulse rate and it’s supposed to come back down there’s a system that helps you recover okay and that system is the recovery it’s the reset it’s the rejuvenator all right it’s called and this is it might be a new word called the parasympathetic nervous system okay that sounds like what is a Paras sympatic nervous system it’s a part of the body that helps you active recover it helps you push you into the Sleep there’s a machine that I have that measures that and a lot of times when people come in we check them and it’s very really low and it’s it’s a direct connection they’re they’re tired and that means that they’re not recovering from the day from the stress and they’re not sleeping okay so even when you exercise this is the system that helps you bounce back fast and if you exercise and it takes you a long time to recover you’re not going to burn fat so this is the system that we need to focus on to heal so now let’s go a little deeper and talk about how do we fix the parasympathetic nervous system well first of all what destroys that system is an overactive adrenal gland it’s a basically flight or fight being in stress for for a long period of time that’s what’ll do it okay so the adrenal is really behind that and if you’re so flight or fight which is basically the opposite of that system called the sympathetic nervous system you’re going to kind of nullify that parasympathetic so you’ll lose your ability to sleep recover bounce back from things okay so there’s a couple things you can do to fix that system number one you can either do nutrition for the adrenals or you can do ACU pressure for the adrenals now I put a link Down Below in the description which I highly recommend that you watch and I show you how to do acute pressure for the adrenal glands okay so you can watch that and you’re actually not directly doing acupressure on the adrenals you’re working on the soft tissue around the adrenals which indirectly creates a nice relaxation effect with the adrenal so it’s going to help you the other thing is the nutritional aspect there’s a product called adrenal night formula it’s not a sleeping pill it’s an adrenal rejuvenator to help this system repair you take one before bed okay so the combination of the acupressure and the nutrition is really awesome to fit fix the sleep cycles okay that’s one thing now once you sleep for a period of time you’re going to notice your energy is going to improve you’re not going to have as much fatigue then at that point then we plug in more and more exercise to start spiking the growth hormone but you don’t want to do that before you’re sleeping you can do long walks and things like that but the goal is to have you sleep at night so you have energy during the day it’s very very rare to find someone who has a lot of of energy that can’t lose weight most people that are stuck with weight loss are always fatigue okay so the biggest weight loss barrier is fatigue and the key is focusing on getting energy by enhancing the sleep okay all right I will see you in the next video
