let’s talk about how to get rid of

cellulite the cottage cheese-like

appearance that you don’t want on your

body

i did a video on this a while ago but i

wanted to update it because i have some

new information that you’re going to be

excited about now just realize there are

things you can do that will create a

significant difference in cellulite

sometimes

people will tell you there’s nothing you

can do so just live with it don’t buy

into that on that note in order to fix a

problem we have to really understand the

problem the more we understand it the

easier it is to fix it and when people

talk about cellulite there are

so many different theories so many

different treatments

so many different

viewpoints okay

but i found some great fascinating data

in a patent which i’m going to put the

link down below and the cool thing about

a patent is they organize all the

research on cellulite for you so that

gives you a head start so you have

something to work off of here’s some

information that will kind of give you a

little foundation before i get into what

to do

cellulite only occurs in the butt

thighs and hip it does not occur in the

breast arm or your stomach okay now

what’s interesting about that is that

in this area of the body

there are twice as many alpha-2

receptors now what is an alpha-2

receptor an alpha-2 receptor is in the

fat cell and it tells the body to store

fat for

later

use okay and so one of the big purposes

of this fat

around this lower part of the body is to

act as a reserve for pregnancy

okay in lean times so this fat can

actually provide fuel for the baby if

someone’s pregnant

so what else do we know we know that

cellulite gets worse

with pregnancies okay it gets worse when

you take

hormone replacement therapy it gets

worse when you take birth control pills

it gets worse with

menopause

so

normally okay right underneath the skin

you have this

very structured organized

connective tissue like a fishnet that

holds everything real nice and organized

and very very tight so that way we have

this nice smooth layer of skin on the

outside

and then we have the fat layer and then

we have the muscle right underneath it

that’s in a normal situation with

cellulite

the bands the collagen bands are

partially

or completely

dissolved

and that is some new information that i

recently found out about okay so what’s

happening is you’re getting this loss of

this fibrous fishnet that’s supposed to

hold these fat cells really nice and

organized and they are basically all

chaotic and they’re pushing up against

the skin now because there’s nothing to

hold them in place and they’re creating

this dimple cottage cheese like

appearance

you also have an enlarged fat cell

you have usually thin skin

we have circulation loss sometimes we

have fluid retention sometimes we have a

backup of the lymphatic system and we

usually always have atrophy of the

muscles underneath so it’s a combination

of quite a few things but the question

is

why

what is causing this loss of this

collagen well this is not a fat problem

this is a collagen disorder caused by

excess estrogen okay

now wait a second how can it be excess

estrogen if if someone has menopause

well during menopause

you have a loss of ovary function and

what a lot of people don’t know is you

have other parts of your body that also

make estrogen like your fat cells

like your skin cells they actually make

estrogen and the way that they make it

is through an enzyme called aromatase

so what aromatase does

right underneath the skin

and in the fat cell

is it converts testosterone

into

estrogen so it’s going to get this extra

estrogen

from

the testosterone and

probably what’s happening and there’s

this compensatory or compensating

mechanism when there’s lower estrogen to

then make more

in various places and so we have two

things going on we have this excess

estrogen that destroys collagen fibers

and elastin okay if there’s too much if

there’s just a right amount it’s not

going to destroy anything but if there’s

too much it’s going to be a problem

and if there’s excess aromatase

that is going to destroy the fibroblasts

that make the collagen underneath the

skin and so you’re going to end up with

like virtually nothing to hold this fat

in place and that is the

jiggly kind of fat that

that people just want to get rid of and

so they get in a diet they start losing

fat and it just never gets rid of the

cellulite because it’s not a fat problem

and it’s not even necessarily

a diet problem directly even though that

is involved indirectly

it’s really a hormonal problem mainly to

do with estrogen but there’s other

hormones involved too

like cortisol because the cortisol is

going to create the atrophy of the

muscle

like a loss of growth hormone as you age

that’s the main fat burning hormone

like insulin which if you have too much

insulin that’s going to block any chance

of

losing fat which now this enlarged fat

cell never is able to go away so we want

to reduce insulin and then melatonin not

just for your sleep

for your antioxidants there’s a lot of

interesting new information about

melatonin in another video that is very

interesting but the loss of melatonin

can create

a lot of issues related to cellulite as

well as just fat burning in general

and having a nice quality sleep and

preventing a lot of illnesses

and then we have dhea this is kind of

like a

a pre-hormone that will help you make

other hormones and usually as we age we

become deficient in this precursor and

so that could be another issue as well

all right so now that you have the

foundation let’s go into a plan of what

you can do about it okay here’s the plan

number one we have to fix the atrophy

problem how do we do that

we have to stimulate the muscles which

ones the glutes

the thighs

and the hip muscles there’s some really

good exercises to isolate those muscles

doing lunges

squats

and also retro walking now what is that

that is walking backwards it’s an

awesome exercise to stimulate the areas

where people have cellulite and you can

even do it on the treadmill if you do it

very gradually because if you do it too

fast you can hurt yourself so i’m going

to put links down below so you can learn

how to do each of these with the right

form

and do it correctly don’t just jump and

start doing it i found some really good

videos relating to these three things

right here now as far as walking

backwards you can do this at a park um

just you know watch where you’re going

okay and of course when you’re treadmill

you start off like with one mile an hour

and you just gradually increase there’s

another video i’m going to put down

below that shows you

a higher level

of doing this

it should only be done once you’ve

gotten pretty good shape but i found a

video that’s just awesome that would

really work this whole area because what

we have to do is we have to stimulate

these muscles to cause

growth hormone to be activated and to

increase the muscle tone underneath this

whole thing that’s going to help greatly

now i wanted to put number four for

certain people but not everyone because

this is pretty intense

i recently did a video on the

most powerful

high intensity interval training

exercise which is sprinting it’s called

a hit exercise

this will produce the most fat burning

of anything the problem with it

you can’t do it with

bad knees or a bad back you have to be

in pretty good shape to do this

and you have to go really really light

in other words if you overdo it you’re

going to be sore for a long period of

time because you’re doing this massively

intense workout with like a 100 effort

and you really can only go for a short

period of time in fact i only recommend

going for 10 seconds

just doing it two or three times max

maybe two times right because you’re

going to feel so sore the next day

you’re probably not going to get out of

bed like myself

where i did it a lot longer thinking

that i was 18 again and so i’m only 29

so i don’t know why i can’t handle it

but you can get very very sore with this

sprinting and

you’re going to work muscles that you’ve

never ever worked before but it’s very

very therapeutic maybe you’re not going

to do a hardcore flat out sprint maybe

you just do it like at 50

all right so

you can watch these videos and start to

stimulate these muscles on a regular

basis okay

number two

you’re going to fix the circulation

problem what happens with cellulite is

you lose the vascular

system right underneath the skin so we

get a lot of congestion we don’t have a

lot of circulation we get a lot of free

radical damage and

and everything is kind of chaotic so

there’s a couple things you can do to

increase blood flow to the area there

are several things you can do you can do

the rebound exercises okay

i have a video on that i will put that

down below

and you can also do red light therapy

they have these little wands that you

can rub on your skin now at first you’re

thinking

that’s not going to do anything but

there’s some really powerful research

using infrared

light it’s extremely therapeutic for

increasing melatonin okay if you haven’t

seen my video on that i put that down

below too melatonin is one of the most

powerful antioxidants in your entire

body so it’s going to protect the

mitochondria from all this free radical

damage so it’s going to help you just

stay healthy and prevent the aging of

the skin and it’s going to help you

sleep apparently the pineal gland is

really only a backup

to this other

melatonin in all the other cells in the

body which is stimulated by infrared

from the sun in other locations but you

can use the red light therapy to

increase melatonin some people are doing

it with the infrared saunas there’s a

lot of different things you can do with

that so that’s one thing you can do to

increase melatonin increase antioxidants

and increase your sleep which is going

to lower cortisol and help you recover

much better from this workout

doing a dry brush okay i did a video on

this where you’re getting this brush and

you’re rubbing the superficial part of

your skin to stimulate a reaction in

your skin to cause it some stress so it

can rebound and actually start to

improve circulation a lot of great data

on this i would highly recommend getting

a dry brush and stimulating the outside

of the skin which is going to affect the

inside of the skin right below the

surface

the other thing you can do

is to get a massage in this area down

here on a regular basis because what

we’re trying to do is we’re trying to

get more blood flow we’re trying to get

more

lymph moving through the body the lymph

system is at the end of the circulatory

system so you have all the vascular

system that ends up in the capillaries

and then

it crosses over into the lymph system

okay and that it’s a whole different

circulatory system and so when you do

like rebound exercises and you do red

light therapy dry brush massage these

are all really good to stimulate

circulation and as well as lymphatic

drainage

all right the next one fix the collagen

problem

how are we going to do that

well

there’s a condition called autophagy and

that occurs when you do fasting

autophagy is a condition

that allows you to recycle old damaged

proteins as in

collagen scar tissue fibrous tissue

and not only does it break that down it

replaces it with new tissue so autophagy

is a condition

that is very rejuvenating it’s

anti-aging and you want to start doing

fasting on a regular basis

not only that fasting will stimulate

growth hormone allow you to burn ketones

which is all very therapeutic to your

skin as well as help you lose the fat

directly so i would recommend doing

intermittent fasting on a regular basis

as well as

prolonged fasting

on more of a periodic basis i have a lot

of videos i’ll put a link down below of

how you can get started

and then i’m going to recommend getting

an aromatase inhibitor

cream

okay

i’m not going to get into brands because

i don’t want to

mention a brand and all of a sudden if

they change the formula then then you’re

going to blame me the whole thing so

you’re going to have to do your research

on that

you want to get aromatase inhibitor

cream you can get them on amazon you can

buy them from various health food stores

one is called dim okay

that’s a concentrated cruciferous

version you don’t want to get the pills

you want to get the topical version and

you want to rub it into your skin

okay each night before you go to bed

what is this going to do it’s going to

help

reduce this aromatase which is creating

the damage so we can actually stop the

bleeding and we can actually start to

turn things around

so this is just one piece of data that i

found in that patent that was very

fascinating with all the research that

backs it up okay so mistakes that people

make going too fast okay when you’re

exercising you can very easily overdo it

and then be completely sore uh for a

very long time so you want to go into it

very slowly when you start out

especially if you have atrophy all right

the next mistake is working out over

soreness so if you’re sore don’t keep

working out because the benefit of that

workout is to get sore and then recover

okay if you work out over soreness

you’re basically damaging an already

damaged muscle all right the next point

is not creating enough stimulus for the

muscles so

if you’re going too light and you’re not

doing it enough

that’s another problem so we want the

optimum amount of stimulus to the muscle

so you actually feel it and you get sore

and then you’re going to let it heal so

we don’t want to go too light and too

infrequent

the other point is your sleep if your

sleep is poor

then you’re going to have a hard time

having this work out because the

cortisol is going to be very high the

insulin is going to be very high

because of the cortisol and that’s one

point you really want to focus on but

the infrared

information can greatly help melatonin

and help you sleep

all right and last point

a big mistake is not giving enough time

thinking it’s going to happen

in

a couple weeks

unfortunately you have probably years of

breakdown of this collagen this this

web-like fibrous net that’s been

breaking down and it’s going to take

some time it’s going to take some months

and it could take even up to a year

maybe a year and a half but just realize

that you’re going to improve the more

you do it but you just want to stick to

it to the point where you start seeing

change the problem is when you evaluate

yourself today versus tomorrow you see

nothing so the change is going to be so

gradual you you’re going to think it’s

not working so i highly recommend you

take pictures before and after maybe

once a month so you can visually see

that it is working all right if you

haven’t seen my video on melatonin yet i

think that would be a perfect next video
