so I’m back and today we’re gonna talk

about quito women and hormones okay so

you hear all this stuff on the net and

on the news that keto and intermittent

fasting is really bad for women it’s

gonna mess up your hormones I’m just

gonna clarify that with six different

points starting it with number one when

you decrease your insulin by doing in a

minute fasting and keto you are

instantly enhancing certain fat burning

hormones insulin is a fat making hormone

and as has the power of preventing the

fat burning process it is a dominating

hormone in the presence of insulin all

the fat burning hormones are nullified

okay I’m not sure if you knew that but

so just by lowering insulin you enhance

the thyroid hormone which is a fat

burning hormone growth hormone glucagon

which is a fat burning hormone

adrenaline so you when you actually burn

more fat okay that’s number one number

two because you’re consuming more

healthy fat you’re increasing more bile

production bile helps you convert the

inactive form of the thyroid hormone

which is t4 to the active form which is

t3 so you actually have more

effectiveness with your thyroid okay

consuming more fat increases bile it

also increases the absorption of more

fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A and

vitamin D and vitamin E these fat

soluble vitamins are vital with hormones

especially vitamin E in relationship to

the pituitary and menopause to prevent

hot flashes alright number three by

increasing dietary fat you’re providing

the raw material for your steroid

hormones in order to make like estrogen

progesterone testosterone cortisol for

your adrenals you need cholesterol you

need fat and the ketogenic diet will

give you that if you’re doing a low-fat

diet you’re gonna starve those hormones

off okay number four decreasing insulin

will decrease PCOS polycystic ovarian

syndrome this is a condition where a

woman

has too much androgen that’s a male

hormone and they’re getting facial hair

deeper voice they’re getting a gut

no more libido all sorts of problems

with that

well that’s coming from high levels of

insulin if you just decrease your

insulin you’re automatically going to

improve this condition right here

improving your overall hormone profile

all right number five running your body

on ketones which your brain loves by the

way and doing anima fasting greatly

supports the brain its ketones are

neural protective when you do

intermittent fasting you have these

genes that turn on and your brain

actually starts going into repair mode

and you actually grow new brain cells

which is really nice and guess what else

is in your brain the main master glands

which is the hypothalamus and the

pituitary those are the glands that send

the information down to the body and

they actually also improve when you go

on keto and if’ you also improve the

autonomic nervous system which is an

added benefit and lastly going on keto

takes the stress off the pancreas and so

now the pancreas which is an endocrine

gland can finally come back and work

effectively the pancreas not only

regulates blood sugars but it’s involved

in digestion as well so a lot of women

that go on healthy keto end up

increasing their fertility increasing

their libido now there are things that

can happen for example if you feel cold

if you lose your period if your libido

goes down it could mean that you’re

doing in a min fasting too fast okay so

you have to go about it in a nice

gradual way it could also mean that the

type of keto that you’re doing is

unhealthy so what I’m going to recommend

is do the healthy version of ketta we

call a healthy keto so I put a link down

version of healthy keto thanks for
