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 the Teague’s not just about

burning fat it’s about generating energy

ok 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 ok so I

want to talk about how to fix the sleep

that’s a real big point and just one

point 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 of that

when you’re sleeping if you’re sleeping

ok 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 cycle a wave of

hormonal flows are called a circadian

rhythm ok a 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 4 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 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 ok 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 para sympathetic nervous system ok

that sounds like what is the

parasympathetic nervous system it’s the

part of the body that helps you actively

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

really really low and it’s it’s a direct

connection they’re tired and that means

that they’re not recovering for

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 your recovery

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

stressful 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 lose your ability to sleep

what cover bounced 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 acupressure 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

acupressure for the adrenal glands okay

so you can watch that and you’re

actually not directly doing acupressure

in the dree knows you’re working on that

soft tissue around the dream Isles which

indirectly creates a nice relaxation

factor for the adrenals so it’s going to

help you the other thing is the

nutritional aspect there is 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 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 energy that can’t lose

weight most people that are stuck with

weight loss are always fatigued 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
