so let’s discuss how to lose weight if you’re post  menopausal i’ve done a lot of videos on this topic  

i would definitely not neglect the standard things  because these normally work about 90 of the time  

bring your carbs down really low you’re  probably going to bring them down  

to 10 grams or even less per  day not per meal fast longer  

at the bare minimum you should be doing one meal a  day but with periodic prolonged fasting these two  

most the time will work now to speed things  up start adding exercise as far as how often  

i would recommend only once a week but make sure  that exercise is intense and you’re sweating okay  

and you’re working the whole body and then  let your body recover do that for a while  

then add two workouts a week on the off days i  highly recommend you go for long walks to keep  

the stress down so you can then sleep adding  another half hour or even an hour of sleep will  

help you lose weight big time and number five  your favorite recommendation which is avoiding  

alcohol but the problem is that little bit of wine  which is carbs has a potential to really keep you  

out of fat burning so you might want to just take  it put it to the side maybe do kombucha tea for  

a while as a transition so let’s say for example  you do all these things right here and you still  

can’t lose weight what do you do your pituitary  produces many different hormones one hormone  

is called follicle stimulating hormone  and the purpose is to tell the ovaries  

to make estrogen but you’re post-menopausal  so these ovaries have gone into retirement so  

that’s not going to happen so what happens after  menopause is this hormone stays on the high side

why because we’re not getting any feedback from  this ovary so this hormone is on a feedback loop  

it turns off when you get the ovary to respond  but it’s actually ignoring the pituitary  

so this just stays high now the other function of  fsh is that it can make fat so there’s receptors  

for this hormone in your fat cells and that is  a big problem simply because after menopause  

there’s a big spike in this hormone that stays  high despite the backup supply of estrogen and  

other hormones from your adrenals and your  fat because the more fat you have the more  

estrogen you’re gonna make and estrogen by itself  contributes to the amount of fat that you have on  

your body after menopause cortisol does go up as  well and that stress hormone can turn your muscle  

protein into fat increase your insulin and in the  presence of insulin you’re not going to lose any  

weight so it’s very very important to keep your  stress level as low as possible and you can do  

that through lots of sleep but the fact that your  follicle stimulating hormone is too high could be  

another hidden reason why you’re just not able to  lose weight so there’s a couple things you can do  

one is take what’s called myonosatol this is  a type of b vitamin now it’s not technically  

currently a b vitamin but it was considered a  b vitamin at one time but myo-inositol taken in  

a good amount can help regulate this hormone as  well as luteinizing hormone from the pituitary so  

this is a really good thing to take postmenopausal  also royal jelly is another natural product that  

you can take as well that can help lower  this hormone as well bees make royal jelly  

and this compound is for the queen bee to help the  fertility of the queen bee and it just so happens  

that they can accumulate it they make a supplement  out of it and you can take it to help balance out  

your um pituitary hormones so it tends to  help normalize if a hormone is is too high  

or too low in pituitary as it relates  to stimulating the ovaries so at first  

definitely implement these things right here  if you’re not happy with the results then add  

these two supplements right here all right thanks  for watching before you go if you have a question  

about a product or you’re new to keto and you  want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto  

and you need a debug because it’s not going as  smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to  

help you this is just for the people in the  us hopefully in the future we’ll be able to  

answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help
