so first of all I want to tell you I

don’t smoke and number two I don’t

recommend smoking and this video I want

to talk about a very specific thing that

it relates to stopping smoking too

suddenly now I highly recommend you do

stop smoking but you have to do it

correctly

because what I’ve observed with many

many many people that are chronic

smokers and they stop very suddenly they

start gaining weight in the stomach

that’s high levels of adrenal hormones

they start having problems with the

heart blood pressure health problems now

a lot of people don’t have that problem

but I’ve observed a lot of people who do

have that problem and it has to do with

nicotine so let’s talk about nicotine

nicotine is a drug that triggers certain

body chemicals they’re called neuro

transmitters now what is a

neurotransmitter neurotransmitter is a

hormone like chemical that travels to

the nervous system hormones are

chemicals that travel through the blood

so nicotine triggers some

neurotransmitters which have to do with

the stimulation of the adrenal glands

and other body parts okay so we’re gonna

talk about the adrenal over time chronic

smokers with a lot of nicotine start to

trigger the adrenals and to the point

where you can feel relaxed when you’re

smoking because nicotine opens up or

vasodilate s–

the arteries around the heart - called

the coronary arteries the main arteries

around the heart so you can actually

feel like you can relax when you smoke

it’s kind of weird isn’t it

and it also relaxes the bronchial tubes

so when you breathe this smoke you can

in you can feel like you can breathe

better with nicotine it’s not the smoke

it’s the nicotine that opens up the

bronchial tubes and this is all

initially when you start smoking but

over time it becomes a lesser effect so

you need more and more nicotine to

create that effect so people generally

smoke to reduce stress and they can

actually feel calm but what’s happening

is just a drug that’s manipulating these

certain chemicals giving you the

illusion that you can

that you feel your stress going down

when really it’s going up all it’s doing

its opening the blood flow to the heart

and it’s opening the lungs but creating

a lot of other issues for the rest of

the body now what happens with nicotine

over time is the receptor that receives

that that chemical in the adrenals and

in the brain and other parts of the body

starts to become downgraded or

desensitized or resistant very similar

to if you eat a lot of sugar the

receptors for sugar or insulin will get

downgraded Nicole that insulin

resistance is type 2 diabetes because it

comes from too much sugar well the same

thing with too much nicotine your body

is basically trying to adapt and reject

the nicotine so it’s gonna force the

body not to absorb it to some degree so

those receptors for nicotine become

desensitized they won’t let it in

so here the body is your adrenal glands

which is the stress gland are so

dependent on that nicotine over time

that if you stop cold turkey with these

receptors being downgraded you like have

a sudden shift of neurotransmitters that

drop way way down because they’re so

dependent it’s like having a child

that’s so dependent on the parents that

parents do everything for this child to

his 20 years old and kicking my house

you can’t survive he doesn’t have any

skills so the point is nicotine makes

the Drina ’ls dependent on nicotine and

then when you stop the adrenal glands

can crash and burn and create a lot of

health problems all right now I

recommend that you do stop smoking but

do it correctly how do we do this number

one right before you stop smoking and

during the stopping in the smoking and

after the stopping of smoking you need

to replace the raw materials to build up

those neurotransmitters know those

specific ones are phenyl alanine you can

buy these from the health of store

phenyl alanine tyrosine l-dopa those are

the three amino acids that you can get

that will help building up your reserve

so you can make the transition off the

cigarette smoking without creating

serious adrenal issues and weight gain B

vitamins very important because there

are the precursors the thing that help

you bill

up these these neurotransmitters so I

recommend you get your B vitamins from

nutritional yeast not the synthetic ones

you buy toughest or okay so that’s this

is the protocol alright so I just want

to summarize the point that if you ever

ask someone when they started gaining

weight many times they’ll say well after

I stopped smoking and yes it could have

to do with the eating more but a lot of

times it has to do with the Drina glands

that can’t recover from years of the

dependency on that drug hope this helped

I’ll see you the next video
