hey guys had another question from

someone that wanted to know what is the

hormone glucagon I’ve talked a lot about

insulin but I haven’t really talked

about glucagon and your pancreas you

have two cells you have the beta cells

that basically make insulin but you also

have alpha cells which make another

hormone called glucagon and glucagon

basically opposes insulin so if insulin

will lower blood sugar and then glucagon

will raise blood sugar how by breaking

down glycogen which is stored sugar in

your liver it also will make new glucose

if it needs to that’s called

gluconeogenesis it will also activate

fat release that’s why it’s one of the

major fat burning hormones it will

inhibit fat storage insulin will cause

fat storage it will also increase bile

release as well so we want higher

amounts of glucagon and lower amounts of

insulin all right now the question is

what triggers glucagon number one lower

blood glucose or lower insulin okay

it’s a ketogenic diet in a minute

fasting alright number two amino acids

which are proteins if it’s in a moderate

amount okay if it’s a little too high

and also if the carbs are too high

insulin is going to override this whole

mechanism because insulin is a

dominating hormone so you really have to

make sure that there’s a low carb

situation and a moderate amount of

protein make note number three exercise

and the more exhaustive it is the more

triggering up to four to five times all

right there you have it that’s what

glucagon is so I hope you’re coming to

the keto health summit coming up in

October so I want to quickly comment on

what we’re gonna do that’s different

from other conventions okay the problem

with these other conventions is they

give you information over a load okay

it’s so much data that you’re basically

swimming in a sea of information we’re

going to do things very differently

we’re only going to cover the most

important things that make a huge

difference now there are three very

powerful strategies

that we’re going to be talking about at

the summit that you will not find and

any of my youtube videos number one is

on memory I’m going to be showing you

something very cool to dramatically

increase your memory and concentration

that’s going to blow you away and number

two I’m going to show you how to

increase your stress tolerance so you

are completely calm all the time alright

and number three and most importantly if

you have a slow metabolism if you’ve

dyed it for a long time and everything

is kind of just really slow I’m going to

show you how to get complete control

over your metabolism so you can

literally turn up the dial as high as

you want and control as much weight as

you want to lose and these three things

are just a tiny bit of what you’re going

to learn in the summit so click the link

below get signed up and I will see you

in October
