hey guys it’s dr. Berg here I wanted to

create a video on how what to do to

actually handle this skin problem here

and here there are things you can do but

there’s some mistakes that people make

the first thing you need to know is that

hormonal e at age 38 things start

shifting in the body now over a period

of a few more years when you hit 50 now

things really bottomed out so during the

menopause it’s a time period which is

actually 52 but it can happen like 48 it

can happen 56 hormonal e the ovaries

stop working okay so there’s a back up

organ and the back of organ is the

adrenals on top of the kidney you have

two of them and so you have this huge

shift from ovarian hormones to adrenal

hormones okay if there’s any problem

with those adrenals before menopause

everything is magnified you get hot

flashes you have bone loss you have a

lot of loose skin things like that but

really this is a loss of collagen okay

and that comes from a loss of certain

hormones so I’m going to explain what

hormones all of these hormones decrease

during menopause testosterone which is

more lean body mass DHEA that’s an anti

stress hormone that’s kind of like a a

pre hormone that gives you all the other

hormones and it’s made by the adrenal

gland and then you have estrogen that

goes down and estrogen controls the

fertility and the menstrual cycle and

all that and then progesterone

progesterone also goes down that also

involved involved in the second half of

the menstrual cycle and the estrogen

progesterone work together so when one

goes down they should be in certain

ratios so when women are after menopause

are considered estrogen dominant which

is kind of weird because it goes down

what they mean is the relative ratio of

estrogen to progesterone is off so even

though estrogen goes down a little bit

progesterone really goes down well so

that would be create a situation when

your estrogen dominant very similar to

if you were to like take I don’t know

sodium and salt and potassium they work

together so if you have too much salt

and not enough potassium

you get fluid or tension but if you have

a what you can do is you can lower salt

but you can also raise potassium and get

rid of the fluid that way instead of

just avoiding the salt so there’s in

other words there’s this ratios you have

to look at okay and these work together

but the big one that really messes

people up and that’s responsible for the

loose skin is this growth hormones

called human growth hormone now in a in

a child it’s mainly responsible for the

growth of the child okay but when you

become an adult

it doesn’t make you keep growing it

controls other things

fat burning tight muscles energy

collagen all the protein synthesis or

creation of proteins hair nail skin

muscle all that so growth hormone is the

really the one that goes down as you age

unfortunately so there are people that

actually take growth hormone as a

supplement it doesn’t work unless you’re

injected by an actual growth hormone on

a synthetic growth hormone that will

work and that will actually help with

your weight loss lean body mass and it’s

an anti-aging thing but it has some

slight minor side effects it’s very

expensive it’s like $15,000 for every

six weeks okay and then number two if

you take it over a period of time your

own glands shut down and you become

dependent on it and then you take more

and you get side effects like diabetes

so there’s a lot of problems with taking

hormones and that’s why I would only

recommend taking it’s the last resort

and you get people taking HRT hormone

replacement therapy biochemical hormones

which again if you take those you’re

going to create a lot of confusion in

the different organs so you’re going to

any Ormeau new hormone you take you

indirectly shut down the gland that’s

supposed to produce it so you basically

put everything asleep same thing with

the thyroid you take it over period of

time and then thyroid doesn’t have to

produce anymore okay so now when we have

growth hormone that goes down this is

the buffer this is the opposing hormone

to cortisol cortisol is the stress

hormone from the adrenal that’s the one

that’s very destructive on your protein

so if that’s too high you get your body

become

what’s called a catabolic state or a

cannibalistic it breaks down proteins

faster than its building back up so you

get loss of muscle protein in your

thighs and your butt yet you get loose

skin here and here not a great site

saggy skin in your belly

so really the loose skin is a

combination of not enough growth hormone

and too much cortisol but remember

cortisol might test pause

but the ratio is very very high cortisol

low growth hormone so even though it’s

normal it has nothing to oppose it it’s

nothing to buffer it there’s nothing to

kind of minimize it so it’s just a free

cortisol that goes out there and

destroys everything so that’s it’s too

much of this and not enough of this so

the next part I’m going to show you what

to do about this situation so check this

out all right now over here we have

things to lower cortisol over here we

want to raise growth hormone okay so

let’s just kind of go back and forth

cortisol is triggered by stress so

everything we’re going to do is going to

reduce stress number one low intensive X

intensity exercise that would be like

walking now over here you have to raise

the high intensity because full body

high intensity exercise will increase

growth hormone the problem is if you’re

in adrenal body type you you can’t do

this yet so you’re going to have to do

walking for a period of time because

just because you’re an adrenal body type

doesn’t mean you’re always going to be

an adrenal type you want to get out of

that type and shift over here to be able

to increase the growth hormone but we

have to get you sleeping first to be

able to handle this intensive exercise

but ideally we want to work up to more

intense exercise so you’re going to walk

it first and then as you graduate slowly

or gravitate into higher intensity you

want to do high-intensity full body

short workouts with lots of rest now the

p90x is a great workout but I would

extend that rest longer if you had an

adrenal problem because the key is you

could be overtraining especially if

you’re doing high-intensity every day

and you’re not sleeping you’re not going

to

to lose weight you’re going to your

body’s going to turn to mush I had a

lady that did the boot camp and she was

just her whole body turned to atrophy

just skin hanging on her body and just

no tone at all so that person you maybe

should workout once a week but the whole

key is recovery okay so you can overdo

it so we started with the low intensity

exercise walking long walks every day

just get in your space not sitting in

from a treadmill watching TV but getting

out there

okay so sleep will increase lower this

and increase this so sleep is really

important there’s a lot of videos I have

on sleep there’s nutrition you can take

there’s techniques you can do but that’s

for another video but the bottom line is

we need to increase sleep I do not

recommend staying up past 12 the optimum

time to go to sleep is about 10:30 maybe

11 but don’t watch the news before you

go to sleep watch a comedy don’t watch a

scary movie it’s going to mess up your

sleep number number three support the

gland again there’s techniques I have

acupressure nutrition you can support

the clan instead of the hormone that

would be smart

avoid stress mainly stressful people

relationships that you’re involved with

you know that always messes someone up I

have a gal who’s stuck with this

particular individual and she can’t get

out of it she’s married she has kids and

she has a situation because he’s not

willing to change so it’s a constant

battle that messes everything up then

you compound that with menopause not a

pretty sight okay but we want to try to

do things to avoid stressful people and

situations potassium foods important

that’s the leafy greens huge salads not

bananas or sugar B vitamins nutritional

yeast is the best B vitamins I would

highly recommend that these two actually

lower stress and then avoid sugar

because that will raise this as well

okay now over here intense exercise

sleeping protein does trigger growth

from them but not a lot if you have too

much it’ll increase insulin which will

inhibit this so we want just a little

bit maybe three to four

bounces each meal and but we need some

proteges terian and you don’t have the

density of protein it’s very difficult

to stimulate growth on them okay animal

meat or animal products is the best for

this but just small amounts okay

intermittent fasting now with this one

it’s not necessarily you have to fast

for days but you don’t if you actually

eat all these snacks between the meals

that’s messing up the liver and that

keeps the liver overworking all the time

if you did three meals a day and no

snacks that will be intermittent fasting

okay that’s what I consider intimate and

fasting even if you did breakfast and

then a good lunch and you didn’t eat

anything after that that would be

intermittent fasting that will increase

growth hormone but if you’re snacking

and grazing yeah why because the liver

is where the growth hormone works

through so that liver is the hub and

that’s connected to the digestion so

anything that is a strain on the

digestion will slow the liver and slow

this hormone so if you have a

constipation for example or bloatedness

or a gallbladder problem it’s going to

be hard to raise this because growth

hormone comes through in the brain goes

right through there and doesn’t always

work and then the next one is the

decreased cortisol fixing this and

avoiding sugar again will also improve

these so these are kind of the basic

things that I look at if a person wants

to tighten up their skin and lose weight

I’m going to look at all these things

I’m going to find out which one can we

implement that they’re not already doing

I’m going to look for ways that I can

prove things you’re doing but make it

better and these are a kind of a good

flowchart that you can use to tighten

things up and you’ll see over the next

months the skin will start coming back

and the collagen will start coming back

one last thing and that has to do with

digestion if your stomach is not strong

enough as far as the acidity and the way

you know that it’s not strong enough is

you get indigestion bloating acid reflux

GERD that means you don’t have enough

acid watch my videos on that then you

can’t break down the collagen or the

protein to be able to assimilate and

pull it into your skin that could be a

reason why you have loose key

• because you’re just not digesting it

so if that’s the situation you can take

something to certify the stomach and

really pull in that collagen into the

cells to allow your skin nails hair

collagen and come back and a really

acidic stomach will allow you to absorb

the minerals - especially the trace

minerals and there’s other videos I have

that show about what trace minerals do

but trace minerals are basically

minerals needed in small amounts that

allow the protein to work better in your

body and that would be one supplement

that might be very helpful if you have

also hair loss and brittle nails things

like that so it’s not the big thing but

it’ll actually kind of assist in that

area okay so go ahead and try these

things in comment below and I will see

you in the next video
