so I want to talk about the relationship between cortisol and protein a lot of

people don’t understand this but there’s a huge connection with cortisol the

stress hormone and the breakdown of protein in the body so I want to kind of

show you kind of us and some overall reviews of what happens protein breaks

down into amino acids and if you know there’s a lot of people right now with

they have a lot of neurotransmitter problems they have depression they have

attention deficit disorder they have anxiety and they’re trying to take psych

drugs to improve the neurotransmitters right my question is why why can’t they

get it from the diet what’s what’s the problem what’s causing this amino acid

issue a lot of hormones are made from amino acids why do people have hormone

problems why does your immune systems so bad why do they have bone loss and

muscle loss that’s called atrophied muscle loss so

there’s a couple things that allow this process to occur when you consume

protein to make amino acids and turn them into body tissue and

neurotransmitters one is you need enzymes from the pancreas so let’s say

the person is a diabetic or they’ve eaten a lot of sugar and they damaged

the pancreas that could be one big factor that they’re not breaking down

into the amino acids to be able to make these neurotransmitters anymore it could

be also they’re eating all cooked foods you know it could be dietary it could be

that they’re not consuming enough protein I didn’t even put that on there

but that’s kind of rare or it could be the stomach they don’t have enough

hydrochloric acid and they have heartburn and they have digestive

problems and they’re taking any acids or whatever that could be the reason why

they’re not getting these as well digestive problems or could be lower in

the digestive tract they don’t have the friendly bacteria to really break down

these proteins as well because that is something not only the stomach but the

microbes help you make amino acids as well okay the number one thing though is

the high cortisol that’s really what will prevent this process from occurring

and this comes from stress so cortisol creates a catabolic effect

comes from the word cannibalistic cannibal cannibal eats eats flesh okay

catabolic hormones break down things we break down muscle protein so with the

cortisol this high stress these amino acids are not absorbed in the muscle so

you get a catabolic effect of the muscle you get breakdown atrophy of the muscle

you get muscle wasting with cortisol that’s why during stress or menopause

when the adrenal backs up the ovary you see is people just like getting all

flabby so that’s atrophy of the muscle amino

acids do not get absorbed into the muscle if the hot cortisol is high the

bone is not just calcium it’s a lot of collagen it’s a lot of protein so the

bone also doesn’t get the amino acids too so you have bone loss okay but third

the lymph system the lymphatic the lymph nodes that’s part of the immune system

it actually shrinks in an atrophies as well call is called lysis which is

breaks down the limp breaks down and what happens is it releases antibodies

and I want to get into that and a little bit but first let me just kind of tell

you what happens so we have the suffering of all the body tissues

involved with protein muscle tendon ligament bone lymph all these things

don’t get the proper amino acids so now what happens as these amino acids go

instead to the liver and they go through a process called daemon d animation okay

D emanation and this basically is a term of breakdown of amino acids and so in

other words the liver will break down these amino acids into ammonia and

carbon skeletons and the Hydra the hydrogen ion okay so the ammonia turns

into urea or urine or uric acid and that’s why people get gout because

they can’t this builds up too much because the liver is damaged okay

or the kidneys damaged but carbon skeleton forms carbohydrates and glucose

in other words your body is converting amino acid to sugar to glucose yeah

that’s interesting the hydrogen ion that gets that goes out to the urine and

wherever the hydrogen ion goes so does the potassium so you lose potassium and

then when you lose potassium you become very very alkaline and it throws off the

pH and you can’t absorb oh my gosh calcium II of all these issues all right

why why is the body doing all this because it’s in a survival mode it must

create a secondary fuel source and what it does is it causes gluconeogenesis

gluco meaning sugar neo New Genesis create so the body is creating new sugar

from protein from amino acids so it’ll basically allow the rest of the body to

go to hell in a handbasket as long as it’s good it gets its fuel so

but the problem is all this carbon atoms that it’s kind of pulling carbon

skeletons it’s forming glucose will start spiking the blood sugar and

spiking the insulin and causing diabetes and belly fat and high cholesterol okay

now there’s some other things that I want to talk about with this limp when

you release the antibodies you also then with a smaller lymph system start

decreasing the production of antibodies you don’t actually produce these

antibodies like you did before and you also do not create the cellular barriers

in the resistance and is against infections so you have a lowered

resistance and a susceptibility factor and that’s what causes the autoimmune

disease autoimmune diseases are the loss of tolerance or to differentiate from

Invader a healthy tissue self and non-self okay so your body starts

attacking itself that’s what it autoimmune thing is and if you ask any

person who had autoimmune diseases when did it start it always happened

after a stress event or a loss of a loved one or a divorce and they start

getting this because it stresses the core soul cortisol is the main source of

problems with autoimmune diseases why because it’s used is the main here or

not cure but treatment what should they give all autoimmune disease they inject

them with prednisone cortisol but they don’t take it back and look at what

happened first the first thing is that there’s a process bicon cortisol and

there’s this whole reaction that occurs you lose your lymphatic system your

immune system your antibodies go out of control and you become susceptible and

then boom you start getting a loss of tolerance to other tissues so there’s a

delicate balance of your body determining what’s a good cell what’s a

bad cell with a good microbe with a bad friendly bacteria unfriendly and when it

loses control start surveilling developing autoimmune diseases now let

me just touch on this I mentioned antibodies right and anybody is a Y

shape protein that is used to neutralize invading viruses and bacteria okay so

basically the antibodies help neutralize attackers they basically tag or label

some foreign microbe as an illegal alien that must be removed from the system so

the other parts of the immune system can go in there and take over and remove it

but it also can attack it directly and neutralize it directly in some

situations but that point is that these antibodies when they lose control right

here then you lose your you become susceptible to getting all sorts of

chronic infections and autoimmune diseases

some interesting things about autoimmune diseases they’re traded with cortisol we

talked about that and they turn off when you’re pregnant

that’s fascinating so there is a mechanism that protects this growing

fetus from being destroyed by your immune system and apparently when you’re

pregnant your immune system wakes up and all your

autoimmune problems disappear which is fascinating so we have a solution we

need to improve the immune system not try to attack it with steroids or we can

actually just recommend that the pregnant female stay pregnant and have

about 13 14 20 kids and then she’ll be great through those years okay that’s

another option transplanting organs they have to take cortisone because they have

their body rejects it they develop antibodies against him cortisol is an

anti-allergic function of properties but always autoimmune problems are always

triggered by stress events I’ve never met anyone that didn’t have that

situation so that kind of debugs why people have autoimmune but cortisol

is a very very very destructive thing to your protein if it’s in high amounts so

we want to apply the adrenal protocol for any of these issues right here to

strengthen the actual adrenal one last little tidbit right here calcium is loss

of the urine with high levels of cortisol to loss of the bone - so the

calcium absorption is decreased through the blocking of the vitamin d receptor

now what does that mean that means when you go through high levels of stress

your vitamin D goes down because it blocks the receptor so you can’t absorb

vitamin D anymore and there’s a lot of people that get Sun and I still have low

a lot of people have low vitamin D they don’t know why the doctors don’t tell

them it’s probably because of high cortisol

okay so cortisol decreases the receptor thereby blocking be receiving a vitamin

D and this is intimately connected to the immune system because vitamin D one

function is not just bone or calcium metabolism it’s immune protection
