hi guys dr. Berg here let’s talk about

adrenal stress and the diabetes

connection yeah you can have get

diabetes from your adrenal gland so this

goes beyond just your diet and sugar and

it has a lot to do with stress so the

main stress moment is cortisol cortisol

is a hormone made by these little

adrenal glands this is what it looks

like so a dream all means add on top of

renal kidney you got two of them there

right here okay so that’s what the

adrenal glands are they’re on top of the

kidney they’re a stress gland and one of

the hormones that it makes is cortisol

cortisol is a hormone that creates a

catabolic effect now what does catabolic

mean catabolic has to do with protein

breakdown the other hormone that does

the opposite of this is called anabolic

so bodybuilders for example would get

injected with a steroid called anabolic

hormones to build up their muscle mass

well catabolic does the opposite and it

breaks down your protein making your

muscles weak flabby and it goes after

the thigh muscles and the butt muscles

so you see these people with the stick

legs and a big trunk right here because

it’s converted to fat eventually but

first thing that this protein is

converted to ammonia and carbon

skeletons here’s another word carbon

skeletons what is that if you ever take

chemistry and look at the different

orientations of the elements you’ll see

these little C’s in the in the in the

mid part these are carbon atoms and

basically it’s like a the foundation of

a lot of different things even like the

tree out there’s made with carbon atoms

the plants are made with carbon atoms I

had a hydroponic garden in my basement

and I was just amazed because you’re

growing these plants in these rocks with

this fluid I mean just flew it how can

this like it’s like 12 by 12 this huge

room filled with tomato plants like

where does that come from

well the plants are extracting it from

the co2 the carbon dioxide carbon

dioxide from the air and forming these

plants the same thing with the tree

you think the trees are getting their

mass from the ground not necessarily

they get them from the air as well so

it’s just it’s fascinating so in in the

fact with with corn salt we have a

catabolic effect of the protein breaking

down into ammonia and carbon skeletons

and then this is converted into glucose

thereby raising your insulin so now we

got this spike of insulin which then

messes up you know with you creates

insulin resistance or pre-diabetic or

actual diabetes itself so so here’s a

situation where you’re you’re eating

good but you’re still in your stress and

you get diabetes we’re trying to get rid

of your insulin problems right or trying

to lose weight it’s the stress so stress

is one big huge factor that I emphasize

you know dealing with it probably more

than most but I see this a lot you know

people gain weight after a stress event

pregnancy years of not sleeping so what

I’m going to do next is I’m going to

create a little link down below so you

can click down there to see what to do

about the adrenals okay hey guys thank

you so much for watching I really

appreciate it please click the share
