alright guys so I wanted to do a video

on the importance the vital importance

of sleep when you’re doing keto and in a

minute fasting to make it all work out a

lack of sleep a lack of high-quality

sleep could be the reason why you’re not

losing weight because most of the fat

burning like the hardcore fat burning

through the stimulation of growth

hormone happens at night that’s why you

can wake up in way a little less than

before you go to bed alright

also to fix insulin resistance and blood

sugar problems you need sleep on the

days that you don’t sleep or shall I say

if you’re a diabetic and certain days

you don’t sleep you’ll notice that your

blood sugars are way off they’re worse

so sleep is really important in the

recovery cycle of all the different

organs and insomnia is really a symptom

of something else it’s not a disease in

itself so let’s go through the different

reasons why you might not be able to

sleep number one which is not this one

by the way is frequent eating if you’re

not doing it a minute fasting and you’re

eating between the meals snacks that is

going to keep spiking insulin okay and

you’re going to be tired during the day

but it’s going to prevent you from

sleeping at the night so one of the most

important thing is to plug in this

intermittent fasting three meals no

snacks and then go to two meals no

snacks very important okay so now the

official number one would be bladder

problems which is basically you’re

getting up through the night one two or

three times in your urinating that is a

problem with insulin resistance if you

think about one of the big symptoms of

diabetes it’s frequent urination and a

lot of times it can happen at night and

if you do intermittent fasting in keto

correctly that will eventually correct

the urination problem at night which

will then help to sleep which then the

sleep will help the weight loss and the

improvement with insulin resistance so

they both help each other but it’s very

important to realize that your urination

could be the thing that’s waking you up

and keeping it from sleeping because

your blood sugars are off now if you

really wanted to do an accurate test to

determine a problem with insulin resist

it’s not going to be a fasting glucose

test it’s gonna be a fasting insulin and

a glucose test

it’s called coma I are highly recommend

you do this and then that will tell you

what’s going on with your insulin

resistance and explain why you’re

getting up to the night but if you do

this hardcore you’ll find that you won’t

be getting up to the night anymore okay

but you have to make sure you don’t

snack between meals you got to make sure

you eat the right foods I’ve put a link

down below okay number two this is

really common adrenal problems stress

accumulated stress builds up in the body

to the point where your body is in a

constant state of flight-or-fight it

won’t turn off so you go to bed at night

and there’s certain parts of your body

that are kind of activated and you just

can’t either you can go to sleep but

you’ll get up like at 2:00 or 3:00 or

4:00 and can’t get back to sleep or you

can’t get to sleep if you have an

adrenal issue this usually works pretty

nicely this is my sleep aid this is not

a sleeping pill this is to support the

adrenal to relax the adrenal so you can

sleep take one of these before bed but

this probably works 80% of the time if

it doesn’t fully handle your sleep then

that means that you have different parts

of your body that are stuck in stress

mode in which case you need to do the

massage tool Do It Yourself massage tool

I’ll put a link down below of a stress

webinar to show you how to use it but

this extracts all the stress in your

body so I use it before I go to bed and

I also take one of those and what

happens is that I can drift off to a

nice deep sleep a lot faster because

there will not be any part of my body

that is like turned on I’ll relax my

body go into a real nice rejuvenating

Delta sleep and then wake up feeling

good and also when you do keto an

immanent fasting over a period of time

the need for sleep does diminish so

you’re not going to need the quantity of

sleep then when you’re on higher carbs

okay you can get by with a little less

sleep but an overactive adrenal is

definitely gonna keep you from sleeping

consistently okay but we have to pull

the stress out and support the adrenal

with some nutrition

number three digestion if you’re

consuming foods that are bloating you if

you’re consuming new vegetables that

you’re not digesting because like the

cruciferous kale shakes brussel sprouts

cabbage broccoli and you’re getting gas

and you’re feeling bloated that’s going

to keep you from going to sleep because

the gut all the the nervous system in

the digestive system which by the way

you have more nerves in your digestive

system than you do in your spinal column

go right up to the brain through the

vagus nerve it comes right down so it

can really affect your head and keep

your head from going to sleep okay so

sometimes you’re laying there but you’re

tired but your your heads just going

going going going

so digestion is really key factor make

sure you don’t can consume anything

that’s bloating you that’s why I like in

a minute fasting spaced out finding the

vegetables that you can digest maybe

you’re not going to be able to do

cruciferous maybe we just do regular

lettuce then improving digestion will

then help your sleep okay so then we

have sleep apnea which is going to

affect your breathing when you’re

sleeping which is purely a problem with

insulin too much insulin and it sort of

resistance so by correcting it by doing

these two you’ll eventually not have a

problem with sleep apnea anymore and

then that will help you sleep even

deeper all right so that should do it

and your next step is to figure out

which one of these you have a problem

with and go ahead and apply the solution

thanks for watching hey guys I had a

quick question I’m thinking about doing

a keto summit in Washington do you see

interested in coming out so this will

have a chance to meet you and cover the

entire subject of keto and in a minute

fasting so I haven’t formulated all the

details yet but I just wanted to find
