so i isolated about 13 things that have the  potential to slow down your metabolism let’s  

go through them one by one number one age yes  age slows your metabolism primarily through  

a decrease in growth hormone now the  good news is there’s things that you  

can do to increase growth hormone  the most powerful thing is fasting  

and when you do fasting you have the potential  to increase growth hormone by 2 000 percent  

the second most powerful thing that can increase  growth hormone is exercise but the exercise has to  

be intense one of the best exercises to increase  growth hormone out of anything is sprinting  

it’s probably the most painful but short burst  of high intensity with lots of rest as in high  

intensity interval training is very very powerful  to increase growth hormone number two menopause  

if you’re female and you’re over the age of 50  51 52 you know exactly what i’m talking about  

as you go through menopause something happens you  have a shift the ovaries go into retirement and  

the adrenal glands act as a backup to the ovaries  and so what happens is you get a spike in cortisol  

a lot of times when you go through menopause  the body tends to fall apart because of this  

high level of cortisol that’s why it’s very  very important to take care of the adrenals  

right before you go through menopause and also  during and after of course but i have a lot of  

videos on on what to do if you’re going through  menopause and i’ll put those links down below  

number three history of pregnancies going  through a pregnancy not only creates a  

lot of trauma on a female body but it raises  estrogen and estrogen is a fat making hormone  

if you wanted to help regulate estrogen you want  to consume things like cruciferous vegetables  

there’s some products out there one being dim  which is a concentrated cruciferous vegetable  

but you want to avoid things that increase  estrogen like dairy and flax seeds  

both of those can increase estrogen and of  course the big one would be soy too so that’s  

number three all right number four history  of dieting the more you have went on a diet  

the harder it is to lose weight down the road  because what happens is you create an adaptation  

by the body to slow down the metabolism so  dieting incorrectly especially when you’re  

cutting calories and you’re you’re keeping your  carbs high very very bad so keeping your calories  

filled with nutrients just eating less frequently  intermittent fasting not cutting calories though  

that’s not the best way to do it so just so you  know just to prevent the slowdown of metabolism  

you want to keep your nutrients very very high  and not eat frequently and definitely do not go  

in a low fat diet because you need that fat  to support the endocrine system number five  

a history of doing high carb diets  what happens is you start generating  

something called insulin resistance and when you  have insulin resistance you have a high level of  

insulin which is a thing that’s going to  completely block down your ability to lose  

weight to fix insulin resistance and lower insulin  you just need to watch my videos i have hundreds  

of videos on this one topic i’ll put some links  down below number six chronic stress you can look  

at stress as consuming sugar and that’s really  what it is because it turns things in your body  

to glucose yeah so stress is like eating sugar  and i have a lot of videos on what to do if you’re  

going through a lot of chronic stress and how to  reverse that all right number seven hypothyroidism  

ninety percent of all hypothyroidism is  hashimoto’s that relates to the immune system  

it’s not really a thyroid problem it’s an immune  system that’s usually caused by some problem in  

your gut so if you have hashimoto’s you should  definitely be on a probiotic you should be taking  

selenium which is a very powerful antioxidant you  should also be taking the vitamin d to drop the  

inflammation the other versions of hypothyroidism  involve having a problem with too much estrogen  

because as you increase estrogen you shut the  thyroid down also 80 of the thyroid hormone  

t4 gets converted to t3 the active form  through the liver with the help of bile  

so if you don’t have a gallbladder if you have a  fatty liver where you’re not making enough bile  

you need to start taking bile  salts that will help you convert  

t4 to t3 all right number eight a fatty liver  i just mentioned the liver helping you convert  

t4 to t3 but a fatty liver can definitely  slow down the ability to lose weight  

from many different angles because if that liver  is fatty you’re not going to have the ability to  

regulate certain levels of cortisol estrogen  insulin and growth hormones so a fatty liver can  

definitely keep you stuck i recommend choline as  well as getting on healthy keto and doing fasting  

because you can reverse a fatty liver number nine  obesity the problem with that is the more fat you  

have the more estrogen you’re going to make  and estrogen can keep you fat so over time as  

you lose more fat it’s going to be easier to lose  weight because you don’t have that estrogen that’s  

countering your ability to lose weight there  are three hormones cortisol estrogen and insulin  

that have the ability to block the seven fat  burning hormones okay so it’s very important  

that we focus on those number 10 snacking  frequent eating is the biggest killer  

to your metabolism because every time you  eat you stimulate insulin these people do  

that are going on a diet and they’re having these  small frequent meals oh they’re going to have a  

heck of a time with their metabolism all right  number 11 regular consumption of alcohol i know  

this might be very unpopular but when you consume  a little wine here and there unfortunately that  

wine not only has carbohydrates but it can really  block the liver’s ability to help you tap into  

burning fat developing ketones so let’s say you  have a glass of wine tonight don’t expect to burn  

fat for 48 hours now if you drink more wine that  could go up to 72 hours so if you’re doing this  

like every other day or every third day it  could be the reason why you’re not losing weight  

12. early childhood infections this relates to the  person who said that they were always overweight  

and then you ask them well what about when you’re  two years old they might say well i was skinny  

i was saying i’ll say what age did you start  gaining weight they might say four what happened  

just before that well a lot of times they’ll say  they had an infection a sinus infection asthma or  

some type of problem that involved taking a drug  a steroid an antibiotic or an inhaler or some  

type of medication that somehow influenced your  metabolism and they started getting fat ever since  

that so i’m just pointing out because a person can  have an alteration in their metabolism very early  

on and a lot of times you don’t connect the dots  so that could be a problem and the last thing and  

this is actually really important a lot of people  are on medications and i’m not telling you to get  

off your medications but maybe you want to get  with your doctor and come up with the solution so  

the dependency on medication is a lot less  prednisone steroids anti anxiety antidepressant  

medication antibiotics all will increase weight  gain and it can slow your metabolism down all  

right now the question is what do you do to  speed it up for that check out this video right
