hey dr. Berg here in this short video I’m going to talk about what is really

behind the stubborn weight issue if you’re struggling with losing weight you

need to know this if you look around most people fall into

one of four body types now sometimes they’ll hold it in the

hips what that is it’s an estrogen problem it’s too much

estrogen some people hold their weight in the stomach as the protruding belly

that is a liver problem some people have a sagging belly that is an adrenal

problem but it’s too much cortisol that’s that stress hormone and then some

people hold the weight all over and not in any one location that is a thyroid

problem but it’s usually secondary to higher estrogen or a liver so that’s why

I didn’t put it on there because that’s usually secondary now what you have to

realize is this weight is a symptom of something else so why can’t you lose

weight because you’re treating the weight directly there’s always an

underlying cause let me show you okay so now weight

especially stubborn weight is a symptom of something so the question is why well

your metabolism is slow right you maybe you thought your metabolism is slow and

it probably is but then what causes this because what we don’t want to do is we

do not want to treat the slow metabolism directly with some pill or some berry or

stimulant because there’s an underlying reason why it’s slow and it has to do

with hormones okay so we don’t want to treat the weight directly because that’s

gonna just treat the symptom it’s not going to work you probably already tried

that we don’t want to treat the metabolism we want to strengthen the

hormones but now let me explain what I mean by that so let me erase this and

I’ll show you what I mean okay so now there are six there are six

fat burning hormones that are triggered by various things that you’re going to

actually do eating exercise and things like that and this has been a huge focus

probably on a lot of people they’re focusing in

to stimulate fat-burning but what they don’t know is this there are three

hormones that are dominating they’re fat making hormones so these are the burning

hormones of fat burning and these are the fat making hormones so there’s

hormones that make fat this one is called insulin now this is what

explained all the low carb diets low glycemic this is low sugar diets right

you probably know sugars bad for you and you might have cravings if you have

cravings all that means is that you’re burning sugar you’re not burning fat so

insulin is one of them in the presence of a little bit of insulin these will be

blocked cancelled out it takes just a little bit of bad thing to destroy a lot

of good stuff okay so we have insulin and the next one is called cortisol

cortisol is a fat making hormone so in the presence of too much cortisol and

that would be stress these again are nullified cancelled out and lastly

estrogen so in the presence of too much estrogen these are canceled out so what

I want to do is expand your concept of not just focusing on what to do but

eliminating these three counter hormones and there’s various ways that we can do

that using eating plans certain techniques and even nutritional

techniques okay so that would be an interesting concept because if this is

too high you’re going to gain weight in the hip and this is too high you’ll gain

weight in the belly I don’t care how many sit-ups you do I don’t care how

many hours of exercise you do it’s not going to work
