hey guys dr. Burke here I have a

question off my website someone wants to

know why during menopause is she losing

her butt and her belly’s getting bigger

okay

so I’m going to show you what that’s all

about turn to the adrenal chapter okay

alright so this is in Chapter five

and here’s what happens during menopause

the adrenal glands have to back up the

over in fact they take over they make

the same hormones as the ovaries so when

the ovaries go in retirement the

adrenals have to then take over if the

adrenals are stressed out okay what will

happens is you’ll have an excessive

amount of are doing hormones that you

normally shouldn’t have and that

excessive adrenal hormones during

menopause literally destroys proteins

now what it’s doing it’s robbing it’s

stealing protein from two main muscle

groups one is the gluteus maximus and

that’s you’re behind your butt and it’s

also your quadricep that’s the thigh

muscle so it’s stripping off muscles

protein from your butt and your thighs

okay it’s converting it to sugar which

then is converted to fat primarily

around the middle section okay now you

probably have seen this in women after

menopause they get this huge trunk this

midsection with two little stick legs

when before menopause they had a nice

little curve and now they lost your butt

the butt has turned into the belly and

that has to do with the adrenal hormone

okay so what happens if your adrenal

glands get bad is your your butt turns

in your belly okay that’s really what

happens and that’s why the legs get

really really thin they look like

they’re really lean but they’re really

atrophy they’re weaker and they get a

little flabby sometimes as well okay so

what what you need to do is not

necessarily eat a lot of protein that’s

not going to work we have to do is fix

the adrenal it’s not a little thing and

so it’s a big thing and it requires a

lot of different things from changing

the diet taking the right nutrition

doing the right exercise

sleeping all those things which I

discuss in the book it’s not just taking

one pill so I just want to answer that

question

and kind of guide you on if you have

that problem where you need to start

doing your research and focus is on the

adrenal okay I’ll see in the next video
