hi guys in this video we want to talk

about belly swelling you know the person

that wakes out in the morning and their

stomach is somewhat flat but towards the

end of the day you feel like you’re

pregnant your stomach is bulging out

what is that and how do we correct it

it’s one of two things it’s either high

insulin or it’s low cortisol okay but

odds are high insulin it’s very rare to

have it to be low cortisol but that

could be a factor so let’s first talk

about the most common reason it’s high

insulin so many people are insulin

resistance which basically they have

high levels of insulin there are

pre-diabetic now one thing you need to

know about insulin it is this it is a

inflammatory hormone it will create

inflammation okay so if you have too

much insulin you’re going to basically

create inflammation in your gut around

the fat and it’s going to swell up

that’s what’s happening let’s talk about

what would increase insulin well you

maybe already know this but eating carbs

will do it combining protein and

carbohydrates together will do it but

there’s something that’s even bigger and

that would be eating in general every

time you eat you increase insulin so I’m

not saying don’t eat but I’m just saying

the frequency of eating if you do five

small meals a day if you do three meals

a day and you snack at night boom you’re

going to swell your belly okay so really

it’s it’s the spike of insulin because

you’re eating so one of the best things

to do to fix this is to have do

intermittent fasting no more snacks

start with three meals a day okay no

snacks so you might have to add a little

bit of fat at the end of that meal to go

from one meal to the next and I’m sure

that you if you’ve been watching the

videos you already know that but for

those of you that don’t I’ll put a link

down below about intermittent fasting if

you can get to two meals a day you will

not have a swollen belly okay unless you

can’t tolerate fat in which case you

have to reduce your fats which is

another another video but the point is

that we want to decrease carbs do

intermittent fasting for the

swelling the next thing is the cortisol

when you run out of cortisol you get

inflamed because cortisol which is an

adrenal hormone that is an

anti-inflammatory that’s why if you have

pain or inflammation the doctors give

you prednisone or cortisone why because

that’s an anti-inflammatory so when your

body runs out of cortisol you start

becoming inflamed it’s definitely on the

gut as well and in joints as well so to

fix that you want to support the adrenal

gland itself lower the stress go for

long walks vitamin D high amounts of

potassium I’ll put the link down below

to get more data on that if you need to

go into this but mainly it’s going to be

this one right here all right go ahead
