hi guys in this video we want to talk

about a condition where you would get a

bloated belly after you workout okay

let’s say you run you do some exercise

all this and you end up with this

stomach that’s just like sticking out

it’s swollen right what’s up with that

it could also happen after a stress

event or let’s say all day long you’re

pushing your adrenals and also in the

day it’s like you feel like you’re

pregnant then you wake up and it’s

smaller it’s not that it’s really kind

of a swollen belly coming from an

inflammatory State okay because cortisol

is involved so let’s talk about cortisol

cortisol is the main adrenal hormone and

it’s related to stress and overtime you

know people get a swell like a

permanently swollen belly or belly fat

that’s high cortisol also could be high

insulin as well but here’s the thing the

confusion is this corn assault is

normally an anti inflammatory hormone so

why wouldn’t it get rid of inflammation

if you’re raising it higher and being

activated by some stress event or

exercise and I think it the reasoning is

because it works the same as insulin

where you’d have insulin resistance you

also have cortisol resistance I’ll put a

link down below more data on course or

resistance but let’s say you have a

situation when you have high level of

stress over a long period of time or

maybe it’s some shock to the system you

have this high levels of cortisol that

then causes the receptor to be blocked

so now the cortisol can’t get in so now

inside the cell we have a low cortisol

the feedback loops send a signal back

telling the adrenal we don’t have enough

make more so cortisol resistance is a

situation where course all doesn’t work

but the body is pumping out a lot of it

at the same time so we have ineffective

inefficient dysfunctional cortisol and

because of that because the high levels

being produced you get a lot of swelling

after stress other condition conditions

you may have would be poor immune system

you might have a joint that gets swollen

sinuses that get congested at night like

it’s called sleep apnea and a whole

bunch of other symptoms but

what you need to realize is that stress

this is acting as a stress it’s too much

stress to the body so you’re gonna have

to change your workouts to more of a

walking yoga low intensity type workout

or if you do interval training you want

to make sure they’re real short little

tiny workouts with lots of rest not the

p90x or some type of intense type of

workout where you’re like pushing

yourself for an hour you don’t want to

do that

so you want to lower the intensity do

things to improve the adrenal to the

point where you can recover faster and

faster and then it won’t swell anymore
