It s in my genes, everyone in my family is overweight

3 Time Line of Health and Weight Loss

4 Fat Burning Hormones 1. Thyroid 2. Testosterone 3. IGF 1 4. Adrenaline 5. Growth Hormone 6. Glucagon

5 Thyroid Hormone Functions controls metabolic rate influences body temperature influences bowel movements skin, hair and nail growth Needs foods that are high in iodine cruciferous vegetables may block iodine absorption, add sea kelp 5

6 Thyroid Blockers estrogen (ovarian cysts, fibroids, fibrocystic breasts) viruses flouride low calorie diets high stress steroids (prednisone) thyroid meds 6

7 Testosterone gives males their characteristics helps increase lean body mass involved in male fertility helps with libido 7

8 Testosterone Inhibiting Factors high insulin alcohol overtraining estrogen 8

9 Testosterone Stimulating Factors intense exercise (without overtraining) rest and appropriate sleep a healthy liver 9

10 IGF-1 Inhibiting factors sugar poor liver function heavy greasy fats constant eating 10

11 IGF-1 Stimulating factors fasting exercise 11

12 Adrenaline main fat burning hormone from the adrenals gets the body ready for the stress response 12

13 Adrenaline Inhibiting Factors low pulse rate exercises caffeine and junk foods too much secretion can downgrade the fat burning function Stimulating Factors weight lifting and intense exercise relaxation and sleep the stress response 13

14 Insulin like GF (IGF-1) Hormone is made by the liver and triggered by growth hormone same function as gh deals with cellular energy when you don t eat mobilizes stored fats when this hormone decreased insulin increased to compensate 14

15 Glucagon Fat burning Hormone does the opposite of insulin works through the liver 15

16 glucagon Inhibiting Factors Sugar liver damage Stimulating Factors protein intense exercise fasting 16

17 Growth Hormone prevents muscle wasting prevents skin from wrinkling prevents joint and bone breakdown helps a child grow fat burning hormone made by the pituitary but works via the liver involved in sleep cycles 17

18 Growth Hormone inhibiting factors stress, high cortisol poor liver function (poor conversion) heavy greasy fats alcohol aging sweets, sports drinks 1 hour before exercise eating sweets 90 minutes before bed getting to bed late 18

19 Growth Hormone Stimulating factors intense exercise fasting (not, snacking between meals) adequate sleep 19

20 Fat Storing Hormones 1. Insulin 2. Cortisol 3. Estrogen

21 Insulin Helps to balance blood sugars converts sugar into fat and cholesterol secreted by the pancreas 21

22 insulin Inhibiting Factors (good) adequate protein healthy fats fiber rich foods like green vegetables Stimulating Factors sugar and refined carbohydrates fruit juices overeating stress triggers an insulin response excess protein 22

23 Cortisol main stress hormone anti-inflammatory balances sodium and potassium assists in the balance of blood sugar lowers insulin receptor sensitivity 23

24 Cortisol Stimulating Factors stress alcohol caffeine steroid medications junk foods with additives sugar and refined grains long aerobic exercises (marathons) pain losses, failures infection pain and inflammation bad news - media menopause vitamin deficiencies (vitamin c and b complexes) 24

25 Cortisol inhibiting factors (good) light aerobic exercise (keep pulse below 130) 25

26 Estrogen creates the fat layer around the female body gives female characteristics assists in fertility 26

27 Estrogen inhibiting factors (good) cruciferous vegetables decrease excess estrogens increasing testosterone estrogen decreases post menopause 27

28 Estrogen Stimulating factors birth control pills hormone replacement therapy hormones in food chemicals that mimic estrogen (pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) fat cells make estrogen commercial milk and dairy products red wine 28

32 The Four Body Types

33 Adrenal Body Type Sagging Abdomen where most weight is held Allergies Craves Sugars, salts and fats Craves salt, cheese, chocolate and sugar in the afternoon Needs Coffee to wake up Ankle marks around the feet when socks come off Tired and Wired Feels Worse after exercise Does not sleep well Buffalo Hump Poor digestion Requires a lot of protien Tired when climbing stairs Arthritis Dark Circles High Blood Pressure Loose Connective Tissue (shin splints, sprained ankles, loose skin) Stressed out!

34 Get your Adrenals tested Proper adrenal function is required to activate thyroid hormones Stress will deplete the adrenal hormones over a period of time Cortisol and DHEA imbalance can impair or cause low energy, muscle and joint pain, abdominal obesity, poor sleep and food cravings refer to stress seminar notes

35 Thyroid Type Generalized weight gain Water Retention in arms Eye brows are thinning on the edge Tired all the time Puffiness around the eyes Dry skin Brittle nails with vertical ridges Cracking Heels Slow digestion Craves Breads and carbs Hair wont hold a curl Hair falls out Depression High Cholesterol Feels cold in arms and legs Ridges on the sides of the tongue

36 Get your Thyroid Tested 30% of Americans have an underactive thyroid that escapes traditional blood work The American diet is massively deficient in Iodine Use functional testing instead of relying solely on blood work, BARNES TEST Fill out a Thyroid Questionnaire Eat more seafood and sea vegetation Take an Iodine supplement (the Japanese get 2000x more iodine daily than North Americans, they also have the lowest rates of site specific cancers and thyroid conditions)

37 Ovary Type Weight gain in hips thighs and buttocks (cellulite) PMS Cyclic fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, low back pain and hip pain, mood swings, constipation, thinning of hair Hot flashes Night sweats Ovarian cysts

38 Liver Type Pot belly (mostly fluid) Low tolerance for grains and fats Digestive issues Pain in right shoulder Moody in the morning Cravings for fried or sour foods Hot feet at night Headaches Varicose veins or spider veins or hemorrhoids Mid back stiffness and low back pain Brown age spots on the back of the hands Deep groove in the middle of the tongue

39 Do a Liver detox program A detox program will help you promote health from the inside out detox supports a healthy functioning of the liver, the kidneys, the colon and the lymphatic system Your liver is your most important fat burning organ, when it is not functioning optimally your health suffers A side effect of a detox program is feeling better, looking better, sleeping better, digesting better, eating better and typically weight loss

40 Do Interval Training, Cardio is Dead! Stop wasting your time doing high endurance cardio Train like a sprinter, not like a marathon runner Interval training provides more benefit in a shorter period of time and actually burns fat Traditional cardio burns glycogen (sugars) not fat Weight lifting is a form of interval training that will burn fat for hours after exercise.

42 Have a Cheat Meal! Have 2 fun meals per week Eat as much as you can consume in 1 meal (1 hour) Do not beat yourself up over it Keep it real This equates to eating well 90-95% of the time, you will not set yourself back and be able to enjoys parties and social engagements without guilt

43 Get a Food Sensitivity Test Sensitivities will cause delayed symptoms Many overweight people show increased hypersensitivity to foods This reduces the ability to metabolize fats and glucose According to James Brady MD: Hidden or delayed food allergies may be the single most common factor in overeating, depressed metabolic rate and obesity
