you know I had this patient she’s 25

years old she weighed 325 pounds and she

came in and she did my program the first

month she lost absolutely no weight

but she wasn’t unhappy because her

cravings were gone she was sleeping

better she had lots of energy her skin

tone was much better and then the second

month she lost 21 pounds third months

she lost 63 pounds it was at that point

where I really realized that you don’t

lose weight to get healthy you have to

get healthy to lose weight and this

principle has been so successful that in

fact I don’t even know a time where it

didn’t work it works pretty much on

everyone and if a person doesn’t

understand that philosophy of that

sequence it boils down to a correct

sequence they’re very susceptible to the

next unhealthy program that comes along

and there’s so many unhealthy programs

and I’m not going to mention any

unhealthy program names low calorie

counting prepackaged foods with b12

shots all these programs don’t

necessarily get you healthy the

foundation of getting healthy is

actually nutrients so unless the person

has the nutrition in those calories you

never have increased the health the fact

the cravings won’t go away either one of

the reasons why people have cravings has

to do with nutrients

do they have nutrients in the calories

or not if you stimulate the body would

be 12 shots and all sorts of diet drinks

you won’t necessarily improve the

person’s health so the first principle

that you need to know is that you need

to get healthy then lose the weight

so one of the things I want to talk

about is the adrenal body type the Drina

gland monitors stress it counters stress

so all the stress in your body is

reacted to by the adrenal gland hormone

so there’s a couple things you know

about stress stress is accumulative old

injuries injuries infections there’s no

difference no reaction difference

between having a loss of a loved one and

getting hit by a car it’s the same

reaction on the adrenals so all stress

is accumulative and one of the things

that we found what the Drina ’ls is that

the adrenal gland tends to keep the body

in a constant state of stress and that

interferes with sleep so let’s take a

look at sleep here and we have this time

picture this is midnight and this is

noon and this is when you sleep take a

look at these waves right here this is

the hormone called growth hormone and

this is where you burn all of the fat

you don’t really burn any of the fat

during the day it’s all at night I mean

you might burn out a tiny bit during the

day but it mainly happens at night and

here’s the problem is that stress

hormone cortisol interferes with growth

hormones so the more stress you have the

less you can sleep in fact let’s just

take a look at something right here when

you go to sleep there are four waves or

what’s called circadian rhythms that one

goes through these are 90-minute cycles

they actually go 90 to 110 and this is

the REM sleep that’s when you dream it’s

very active it’s actually not a restful

sleep but rapid eye movement is kind of

a superficial type sleep now down here

is where you have the Delta wave this is

the really good sleep that’s all the

regeneration that’s the rejuvenation

this is where you bring the fat right

here what you do during the day like how

you exercise all that affects you at

night when you’re sleeping in fact it

all the exercise and the eating good

things that you do during the day will

end up burning fat 14 to 48 hours later

when you’re sleeping so sleeping is a

very very very important part of burning

fat in fact if you’re not sleeping and

you burn all the fat when you’re

sleeping then it’s obvious what’s

causing the problem but the sleep cycles

are important to remember and also just

to realize that getting the proper sleep

when people sleep they go to bed like at

1:00 you missed the wave so you never

get that full rejuvenation with the

adrenal body type they can’t really get

this thing but they if they don’t go to

sleep by a certain time they missed the

wave and now it takes like ninety

minutes to finally get into that sleep

something else I want to show you I’m

going to draw a body here this is my

great handwriting here here’s what we

found

the body accumulates stress so it’s very

important when when evaluating someone

that we look at the accumulated stress

physical stress as it relates to their

sleep patterns so let’s say they broke

through nose or they get hit in the nose

or they got hit in the head they broke

an arm

they had a whiplash injury they had

three children with a c-section they

fell on their knees many times sprained

ankles they fell on their tail bone

which locks up the back of the the neck

right here see what happens when you

injure a part of your body the force

gets stuck on the next bone over so if

you fell on your hand your elbow will

start hurting or your shoulder so let’s

say that had that they fractured a rib

they have the gallbladder removed

appendix removed tonsil removed sinus

problems asthma these are all the

questions that I’m interested in knowing

about because that’s the stuff that is

still stuck there so the body especially

the adrenal gland circuits tend to keep

the pain or not just the pain but the

energy stuck in these do

points so we do what’s called

acupressure and the acupressure is a

technique to release this old stress

from old look infections or old injuries

and when you release that stress and

it’s done in a very unique way we don’t

actually press on the old injury we

release it with the technique called a

set actor pressure stress elimination

technique it really helps a person get

into the deep sleep cycles right here so

we actually do a test and I want to show

you a diagram of this test I’ll show you

what it looks like this right here it’s

a little blurry but you can see this is

one of the tests that we do we measure a

part of the nervous system this dial

right here should be completely balanced

should be right here it shouldn’t be

that low this tells me the person is

burnt out so we’re actually able to

measure how much stress is in the body

so let’s take a look at someone else

here and this one right here here’s

another example this person is

physically really stuck in a lot of

stress it’s way too high remember this

one should be balanced so this person is

stuck in stress this person is already

burnt out this person is in the process

of burning out this person already a

cheap burnout so the reason why we do

this test is we’re able to measure how

much stress is in your body and we use

this as our feedback to when we do the

technique acupressure we do before and

after so we’re able to see the stress

coming out of the body the thing that

most people focus on is trying to

they’re tired and they try to stimulate

their body with a b12 shot or a caffeine

or something like that we have a

different approach we’re extracting old

stress from the body that makes the

graph get better and pulls the stress

out and allows the person to sleep

better that’s part of our program now if

the person has good graphs we don’t do

that but if they have a lot of old

stress stuck in the body it’s essential

to help them it’s one a part of the

getting healthy removing stress it’s why

because

this darn hormone called cortisol

cortisol interferes with weight loss so

the more stress we can extract from your

body the the better chance you have of

losing weight
