so I get this call from the dr. Oz Show and they wanted to do a whole show on

body types a whole hour because I actually have a lot of

information on videos an internet about body types I wrote a book on body types

it was a best-seller been working with body types for 10

years so anyway I spent the next 30 hours straight compiling all the

research I had and body types because we had to condense it into one hour and

make it simple so I scripted it out I stuck stuck my jokes in there everything

for each body type and I sent it to them so we were going to they were going to

fly me up to New York on a Friday so it was Tuesday and I get I get an email not

even a call an email says sorry Dr. Berg were going in a different direction

sorry we’re not going to the show so I’m like oh that was a waste of 30 hours so

a little bit pissed you know but I was okay with it I mean I told my mom and I

told patients and things but what really got me about a month later I get this

link from one of my patients can you see yourself in one of these pictures you

carry your weight in your belly or you bottom-heavy or you shape more like a

box if so you’ve just found the first secret down locking your body’s fat

burning furnace your body type and with your Apple a Pear or box your body type

is a direct effect on your metabolism so today I’m giving you my secrets the

turbocharged your metabolism for your body type dr. Jeffrey Morrison is a

nutrition specialist he studied the link between metabolism and body type for

over 10 years welcome to the show well dr. oz when you’re 18 years old

basically you can eat just about anything you want and your weight

doesn’t change and with each decade you get older your metabolism slows and your

hormones change as you get into your 40s then the metabolism starts changing even

more and the hormones keep on getting imbalanced and people’s body shape will

change based on the hormones and that gets accumulated where the hormones

are imbalanced so in your 20s anyone can lose weight but when you get into 30s

40s and 50s things change hormones change and your

metabolism slows down in certain hormones will cause fat to accumulate in

the hips versus in the midsection versus just all over the body and that also can

be a predictor for what type of health problems a person could be at risk for

if you look around you’re going to notice that most people fall into one of

four body shapes some people hold a weight in the stomach as a sagging belly

some people as a protruded some people hold their weight in the saddlebag hip

area and the arms yet other people will be big everywhere well the apple shape

but generally gains weight in their midsection they tend to have a round

face they accumulate weight in their upper back and they tend to have small

legs it has a lot to do with an imbalance in a certain hormone that is

affected by stress it’s called cortisol and cortisol we all know is the stress

hormone and cortisol causes weight to accumulate in the midsection and

especially around our organs so you can see that this doctor is using my script

in fact nowhere on this doctors website will you see anything about body types

he’s not an expert I don’t know where they got this guy but basically he’s

talking about my body types so why does cortisol that hormone cause that

accumulation of fat especially in the belly

well the belly has specific cortisol receptors that soak up cortisol when

people are under stress and it directs back to be stored underneath the stomach

in and around organs interest the thing about an apple metabolism is that they

don’t they’re not the type of person that’s going to be able to go on a

low-calorie diet because that the body would use that as a stressful experience

also excessive exercise is also considered a neck stressful experience

for somebody that responds to stress that way so the low calorie diet too

much exercise equals increased cortisol level because the body is trying to be

protective of a famine type of event well there’s a number

significant health problems that people should be concerned about inflammation

high blood pressure heart disease diabetes and even breast cancer can you

just explain it for everybody why some people accumulates fat in some parts of

the body and others in different parts their body well a lot of that has to do

with different types of hormone imbalances so with as we said with the

cortisol level with the cortisol body type it’s stored in the in the

midsection with other types of hormone imbalances it can be stored in the hips

or also just throughout the whole body so I’m curious I’m question for all of

you what would it mean for you to lose your Apple shape in fact what would it

look like if you were going back to age 18 and how you appear sounds reasonable

huh get up have got a plane that is specifically targeted can burn your

belly fat but first are you plagued with stubborn cellulite that’s a key symptom

for our next body type you need to understand that one find out which one

it is we come back okay I’m gonna doing my secrets the turbocharging your

metabolism for your body type and we’ve already talked about the apples or

plagued with belly fat the next body type the pear if you store fat in your

hips butt and thighs you have a pear-shaped body like two-thirds of all

women your bottom area is the first place you gain weight and the last place

you lose it because your body wants to save this fat to convert for energy so

what steps can you pear-shaped women take to trim your bottom

dr. Morrison so what’s the Pear’s biggest challenge

well the pear’s body type stores weight on their hips thighs and butt and the

reason for this is because of an excess of a female hormone called estrogen as

the the issue with estrogen is that estrogen is actually produced in fat

cells and it also spikes during pregnancy and every single menstrual

cycle so it makes it very difficult for women that might be consuming an

imbalance diet because every single time they’re spiking their estrogen levels

they’re storing fat and once they store it it’s very difficult to get off the

they’re saying a moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips speaks to this body

type explain something you’re all getting this message clearly I said why does the

pear type particularly wreak havoc with your metabolism

well the pair body type is its evolution so throughout evolution it was very

important for women to store fat in their hips and thigh area because to get

ready for pregnancy the didn’t pregnancy there’s a lot of fat that can be readily

used for the baby during gestation one of the most important ones for women to

know about is osteoporosis during a woman’s menstrual years they’re

producing plenty of estrogen which helps to maintain calcium in the bone and

after menopause the estrogen levels drop quite a bit and women are not able to

keep calcium in the bone the other health factors include cellulite

varicose veins and also joint problems can you change your shape over time well

you can absolutely make an impact but an apple is almost certainly not going to

become like a pear but a pear could become like an apple and

well with all of these hormone imbalances they all can cause certain

health risks but this body type has the highest health risk because it’s too low

in thyroid hormone thyroid hormone is really about metabolism for the whole

body and there’s some very significant health conditions that can occur and

people should know about such as depression memory loss high cholesterol

and enlarged heart for my box-shaped friends out there that’s not familiar

some memory issues there cheering out there they’re chanting so how does a

thyroid affect the box-type the thyroid hormone is really the hormone that

unlocks metabolism for the entire body it literally is the key that turns on

the metabolism for every cell in the body and for that reason it actually if

it’s low it will slow down function for all body organs including the brain the

heart metabolism and for that reason also there’s a lot of symptoms that can

occur with this such as difficulty concentrating and memory changes high

cholesterol and then like dry skin dry hair dry nails depression and even

constipation the secret for all the apple-shaped folks out there the

turbocharged metabolism is are you ready to eat foods that are low glycemic what

does that mean low twice emic foods are foods that don’t surge into your

bloodstream and don’t spike your blood sugar if you don’t get that big spike in

blood sugar that change in your body that those stressful hormones won’t

accumulate that sugar as fat in your belly and that you’ll be able to lose it

effortlessly so here’s what they change they took all the solutions to the body

types and they basically just made up something like for the Apple which is

the adrenal they said consume low glycemic foods right well basically that

lowers insulin but it’s not my solution for the adrenal so the reasons you want

these high-fiber foods is they don’t bind up with the estrogen that’s already

too much in your body and carry it out through the intestinal system so it

comes out in your poop okay so you poop won’t look any different not gonna smell

different it’s not gonna you know having anything special about it but it’ll have

extra estrogen being pulled out because the fiber will have bound it just to

bind estrogen that is absolutely not true

you don’t get rid of estrogen by consuming fiber they’re so impressed

so the first food that I think you ought to be focusing on if you’re a

pear-shaped individual the turbocharged your metabolism is edamame okay

edamame is rich in phytoestrogens do you guys like that well that’s our pear

section yeah our sections happy over there

Edamame has phytoestrogens there are a plant-type of estrogen they actually

hinder block your own estrogen from doing things too much what’s a good

thing but you want to have plant sources competing with your own sources so that

you don’t feel such a surge of that hormone that causes you cumulation of

that down below your waist edamame will do that naturally whole wheat pasta big

opportunity here it’s a great swap out for white pasta as well and get any

little bit of extra calories you take in your body if you’re a pear shape is

going to accumulate down there because the body sees it as a safe alternative

this is a nice way of reducing the amount of sugar surging into your body

and then the third tip everybody are figs why do I love figs because they’re

the fruit with perhaps the highest fiber out there that I have personally adore

okay you like figs I do I like them even more now it’s right to make these part

of your diet and you will turbocharged your metabolism and again I’m not giving

you ideas that work for you six months down the road this will work for you so

here’s the problem that I have it’s not that I didn’t get on the show it was

that you are being fed the wrong information information that is just

made up you’re not going to get results so then you’re going to have a failure

so that’s going to stack up so you want to make sure that your information that

you get is based on truth not hype
