hey guys dr. Berg here in this short video  we’re going to talk about the relationship  

and the connection between cortisol and insulin  okay what is that connection so I’m using CIPA  

endocrinology of volume 4 to show you this  connection on page 84 okay so here’s what  

happens the adrenal gland is a catabolic hormone  what does that mean it means it’s a hormone that  

breaks down proteins so what it’ll do if there’s  too much cortisol it will block protein from going  

to the muscle so you will not be able to take  these amino acids and stick them to the muscle  

instead it’s shunted to the liver where it’s  broken down and converted into carbohydrates  

that’s called gluco neo genesis means making new  sugar happens in the liver from the adrenal so  

this is why you see so many issues with diabetes  insulin resistance with cortisol now in some  

of the other videos I talked about cortisol  making belly fat it’s really the connection  

between cortisol making more insulin than making  belly fat so we really have a situation where  

the cortisol converts the carb converts protein  to carbohydrate spikes insulin and creates the  

belly flat belly fat diabetes and cholesterol  so if you’re eating really good and you’re not  

losing weight it could be coming from the  cortisol which is the stress hormone even  

if someone takes prednisone which is a medical  artificial synthetic cortisone that can do it  

too up I’ll see people that get treated with  quarter Prentis own with some type of disease  

or autoimmune and bam these ends to end up with  diabetes because this relationship so it’s just  

another connection I wanted to mention so  you might want to look into it if you have  

the situation and I have a lot of videos and  what to do about cortisol thanks for watching
