hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about in a minute fasting and your

adrenals so the question is should you

do intimate fasting if you have an

adrenal body type or we have weakness

with your adrenals or high cortisol etc

now if you do a search on this you’re

going to be told that you shouldn’t do

them in fasting if you have adrenal

weakness so I disagree let me explain

why now normally when you do

intermittent fasting your blood sugars

come down but if you have a pre-existing

hypoglycemia or a low blood sugar

situation what will happen is the

adrenals will work a little bit harder

to stabilize your blood Sugar’s because

one of the purposes of the adrenal is to

increase cortisol when your blood sugars

start to go low and counter this drop in

blood sugar and that’s why another name

of course all is called glucocorticoids

because it’s a glucose hormone to help

release glucose from the system and help

normalize blood sugar so it’s a

protective mechanism against blood

sugars that go too low so if you have

hypoglycemia and you do intermittent

fasting you might notice symptoms of low

blood sugar as you transition into

fat-burning okay which could take I

don’t know three days a week maybe two

weeks okay but that’s really easy to

solve you just add more fat add more

vegetable during the meal moderate

protein and that’s going to carry you to

the next meal but as far as intermittent

fasting being bad for the adrenals

that’s not true because the adrenals are

just doing their job just like if you

had an infection the adrenal glands

would have to stimulate the white blood

cells to fight off the infection is that

bad no it’s just a normal function of

cortisol I mean if you exercise for

example and you stimulate testosterone

is that bad now that’s a normal thing

that happens when you exercise it

stimulates certain hormones now if you

were an adrenal body type or you have

adrenal fatigue I do recommend you do in

a minute fasting because intermittent

fasting will take a tremendous amount of

stress other stress oxidative stress

from your body it helps decrease

inflammation okay so right there the

need for cortisol

to be released is going to be a lot less

because you’re not going to have the

inflammation because this is very

therapeutic for inflammation so your

immune system starts kicking in it

starts working better so that’s going to

take more stress off the adrenals but

what I think that actually happens if if

someone has a pre-existing low blood

sugar situation and they do them in a

fasting and they feel like crap and then

they eat and they feel better

someone’s going to conclude Oh in a

minute fasting is going to be stressful

to the body so it’s going to be

stressful for the adrenals and one last

point if you’re going to do in am in

fasting and you’re having a hard time

just do a gradual do it very gradual

until you’re very comfortable and the

body will start to change over to

fat-burning and it’ll be easier and

easier alright thanks for watching so
