(03:43):
it's next Saturday. As of this day like today, I
just looked. Before launching the show, nine hundred and thirty
six people registered. This is going to be extravagant. I'm
opening a live Q and A with me. I'm doing
a live masterclass where I'm gonna teach you the three
main reasons the body is not healthy, so we can
(04:05):
break away from high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid issues,
weight loss resistance. Because we're gonna focus on your health

of the hype. You know. I'm gonna talk today about research,
time tested blueprints. This is the summary, guys. I'm gonna
come hot and heavy. I have goals and action plans.
(04:30):
Over the next fifty something minutes, we're gonna go through

It'll finally get the weight loss results you've been searching for.
And today is the last day that I'm gonna be

(04:53):
highly encourage you take action. If you're listening to my voice,
it's free, it doesn't cost you anything. Just fifteen seconds
of thumb move to send a text to seven oh
four nine zero six two zero nine four if you
want to lose ten to fifteen, even twenty pounds. The
ebook will get you started. The master class is going
to finish it off. Seven oh four nine zero six
(05:14):
two zero nine four. All we need again is your name,
your email, and the word weight loss, and my team
will get you set and taken from there. So why
don't we kick off today with what I would consider
to be the number one fat burning strategy that most
people don't understand, and we talk about it regularly on
our shows, but I need to hammer at home. It's
the idea of fasting, not starving, but functional fasting. You know,
(05:39):
one of the easiest ways that you can get your
body to start burning fat is to simply stop eating
food and let your body get into a metabolic state
where it has to pull energy from your reserves, and
some of you have a tremendous amount of reserves. You
have all this stored energy, and fasting, by the way,
is not just a trend, it's how your bodies are
(06:01):
designed to function. Think about it. Throughout human history, we
have come from times of feasting and famines. So like
your ancestors didn't have the options of waking up and
being like, well, I'll just go to the fridge and
grab whatever I have, or let me drive to the
local convenience store or grocery store and have twenty four
(06:23):
to seven, three hundred and sixty five days access to foods.
There wasn't an idea of three square meals plus snacks
and a dessert. It just didn't exist. Fasting is the
easiest way to flip your metabolic switch from sugar burning,
which is a highly inflammatory, oxidizable disease state. You don't
want to be stuck in sugar burning over to fat burning,
(06:46):
and when you do it correctly, you can lose a
tremendous amount of weight quickly. From a functional perspective, here's
what fasting does. It resets your hormones. Did you know
that human growth hormone can go up by two thousand
percent and then and up to thirteen hundred percent in women.
If you fast for twenty four to forty eight hours,
(07:06):
it can lower insulin, it can reduce inflammation. It turns
on your body's natural process of cleansing and cleaning autophagy,
where it gets rid of disease tissues. It improves mitochondrial efficiency,
so your energy goes through the roof. And think of
it like this. You're not just skipping a breakfast. You're
giving your digestive system a break and you're giving your
(07:28):
cells the opportunity to heal. We usually recommend a sixteen
hour fast with an eight hour eating window. First eight
hours is while you're asleep. Second eight hours is the
first portion of your day waking up. Third eight hours
is when you eat. Here's the mistake that most people
make though they fast, but then when they eat, they're
eating lower quality foods, right, So pizzas and cupcakes and
(07:51):
all the standard stuff that you've been doing. So you
have to remember that we need to clean up the
food we eat as well. And it's really not that complicated.
Just eat real food. One ingredient food items what's in celery, celery?
What's in spinach? Spinach? What's in chicken? Chicken? We don't
want ingredients that are five, six, ten, fifteen, twenty deep
(08:12):
on whatever you're put in your mouth. And remember, if
fasting is not a diet, it's a rhythm. It's a
way of aligning your patterns of your body with the
circadian cycles and even the hormone cycles within your body.
I talked about this earlier, about this concept of hormonal
tracking with eating. It's not what you eat, it's when
(08:34):
you eat that's important. So if you're new to fasting,
don't just jump straight into a twenty four or forty
hour fast. Start slow, get rid of breakfast, do that
for a couple weeks, push your lunch back a little bit,
do that for a couple of weeks. Then try a
twenty four hour fast. I kid you not the research
behind twenty four. Then shifting to forty eight. Then watch this.
(08:56):
Shifting to seventy two is outrageously powerful for your body.
Sometimes it's all you need to just get the engine
started and rev it up, so then we can shift
to number two. The biggest thing you need to do.
And hopefully this makes sense is we have to decrease carbohydrates.
Not all carbs are evil, but most people eat anywhere
(09:16):
between Watch this two hundred and fifty to three hundred
grams of carbohydrates per day. It's an exorbitant amount of sugar,
refine flowers, fake health foods. Anything that's carbohydrate laden is
going to spike insulin, which is your fat storage hormone.
Remember this insulin makes you store fat. But doctor Ur,
(09:36):
I don't have diabetes. I don't need to pay attention
to insulin. Yes, you do. Everything you put in your
mouth turns into insulin. So insulin is the key. If
we can lower your insulin, then your body becomes more
active metabolically. We don't store fat, we burn fat instead.
(09:57):
And here's the mistake. A lot of us just think
that they're cutting out carbs because we've stopped using sugars.
If you skip things like breads and pastas, it's awesome.
But look watch out fruit smoothies. Right. I had a
smoothie for breakfast with bananas and blueberries and pineapple and strawberries.
Still a lot of sugar. I eat oatmeal, tremendous amounts
of sugar. Granola bars, kombuchas that are basically sugar bombs
(10:19):
in disguise. All of this healthy food can still spike
your insulin. Watch out again for sodas and juices and
even healthy drinks that are from the grocery stores and
things like that. You would never eat ten apples in
a sitting, would you, But if you have just one
glass of apple juice, it's liquid carbohydrates. So what we
(10:40):
want to do instead is hydrate with water or herbal
teas or even black coffees. Beware of the hidden culprits.
One of the biggest sources of carbohydrates that's a negating
fact is the whole grains that many of us eat.
I know, right, but talk to ours. I thought whole
grains were good for you. Well, they're good if you
(11:01):
want to end up like the average American. Medicate it
and overweight. Your body breaks down whole wheat faster into
sugar than straight table sugar. I could give you a
wheat piece of bread, have you eat it, measure your
blood sugars afterwards, and then also give you a tablespoon
of sugar. Measure your blood sugars afterwards, and the sugar
(11:24):
spike will be higher. With the wheat bread. Remember not
all carbs are evil, but your body needs to make
sure that we're in a state of burning fat instead
of carbohydrates. So if you lower your carbohydrate index instead
of two hundred and fifty to three hundred grams, try
twenty five to thirty, a ninety percent reduction in carbohydrates,
(11:44):
bumping up proteins and fats. Do some intimate and fasting
and watch as over the course of a week or
two you see change. I mean, you heard it, guys, Melissa,
she did it. She followed the intimated and fasting guides.
Nine pounds down in two weeks. That's extra dravagant. Okay.
Tip number three detox your way to weight loss. Your
(12:08):
liver is your body's metabolic powerhouse, processes hormones, filters toxins.
It's converting thyron hormones actively. Ultimately, your liver's what determines
if you burn fat or if you store it. So
in functional medicine we say it like this, a toxic
liver is a fat storer And unfortunately, in today's world,
(12:29):
with glycosates and plastics and heavy metals and all the
endocrine disrupting chemicals found in the products we use daily,
everything from your toothpaste to your deodorants, to your laundry detergents,
to your dishwasher soaps, to just the stuff that you
guys have around your home. When your liver becomes overloaded,
your metabolism will crawl its way, so toxins clog the
(12:53):
cellular machinery inside your liver. And where this becomes a
massive problem is your liver converts your thyroid hormone T four,
which is inactive, into active T three, which makes you
burn fat. See a lot of you are running around
with low levels of T three, high levels of reverse
(13:13):
T three, congested clogged detox pathways. You have to understand
your liver has two phases that it gets ridgs of things.
Phase one tags it and makes it water soluble, using
an enzyme called cytochrome P four fifty. Phase two eliminating
those toxins, usually through methidation or using glut to thione
(13:36):
to conjugate and pull it out. Phase two requires binders
and keyulators, methylation, nutrients, B twelve, fol late glutethione, active binders,
bentonite clays, and charcoals. So here's the cool thing. There's
all these ways that you can enhance your detox and
if you join me on the masterclass, I will physically
(13:59):
show you specifically a detox that can break down the
congestion in your liver, turn on your fatborny switch and
help you to do ten to fifteen pounds in as
little as two weeks. And again remember in the Weight
Loss Functional Approach ebook is the guide that you need
to start it now. We have a week until the masterclass.
You could implement the protocols in this ebook and already
(14:21):
be down seven eight nine ten pounds. When you join
us online live, text your name and your email plus
the word weight loss to seven oh four nine zero
six to zero nine four. I'll send you the ebook today.
You'll get registered today. We'll follow up next Saturday. Guys,
everything is free, you just have to take the time
and send the text again seven oh four nine zero
(14:44):
six to zero nine four. So in short, if you've
tried everything diet, exercise, and your body's not burning fat,
let's look to your liver. It's not about willpower, it's
about biochemistry. If we detox, the body, fat stores toxins.
(15:04):
So if you're not losing weight, it could be because
the fat cells in your body are full with toxins,
and if we detox the body and the liver properly,
there goes the fat. Okay, here's a tip that might
shock you in regards to weight loss. Make sure that
after you eat, you get up and move around. After
(15:24):
every single meal, move It might sound simple, but it's impactful.
Walking after a meal is one of the most overlooked
yet powerful ways to reduce blood sugars, reduce fat storage,
and improve your digestion. It doesn't require a gem or
a coach your equipment. Literally take ten minutes and just
go for a walk. Remember, functional weight loss is about
(15:45):
strategies and timing. Did you know that if you take
a walk after you eat breakfast luntch your dinner for
just ten minutes. It helps to shuttle glucose into your
muscles where it will stay as a precursor for energy,
as opposed to staining in your blood and turn it
into fat. It helps to reduce insolent spikes. It activates
(16:07):
what is known as zone two fat burning. It just
takes ten minutes. It'll target the fat in your body
yet preserve your muscles. The mistake that a lot of
people think is they have to exercise like crazy, right,
I gotta go to the gym and spend sixty minutes.
I can't do that, So why bother studies show walking
(16:27):
for ten minutes three times a day is a better
decreaser in your blood sugars than just one thirty minute walk.
Consistency and timing, of course, will beat the intensities every
single time. You can avoid the trap of sitting all
day long and you know making up your workouts. If
(16:48):
you just create a habit go for a walk after
you eat, it can shift your metabolism more than any
fancy supplement, more than any machine. And don't underestimate its power.
It sounds so simple, yet it's so profound. And here's
the cool thing. It's absolutely free. So we could start
intermittent fasting and implement a timed pattern to our eating.
(17:10):
We can cut our carbohydrates down and increase our fats
and our proteins. We can start to just go for
a walk after we eat. And these are simple strategies, guys,
very easy to implement. Okay, here's a functional tip number
five if you will, since we're counting that a lot
of people again, overlook, we talked about this in the
show last week. Sleep has more impacts on your weight
(17:35):
than you've given it credit to. If you're not sleeping,
you're not healing. Period. If you're not healing, you're not
losing weight. Period. Sleep is optional for fat loss. No no, no, no, see,
I was trying to throw a little trick for you.
Sleep is not optional. It is essential for your fat loss.
Deep restorative sleep produces growth hormones, repairs tissues, detoxify your brain,
(18:00):
decreases leptin and grel And remember, leptin is the hormone
that comes out of your fat cells that says to
the brain, I'm full and I'm good. What happens is
the brain stops listening to leptin, leptin starts to climb.
We become leptin resistance. Grellin is the hormone that comes
from the stomach and the pancreas and it tells your body,
(18:21):
I am hungry. So when leptin's signals are shut off,
grellin goes through the roof. This is why you're hungry
all the time and you're not burning fat. So from
a functional perspective, poor sleep can also lead to high
cortisol instlin resistance elevations in grellin, which makes you hungry.
So again, remember you're not lazy, you're not broken, you're
(18:44):
not biologically impaired. It's a hormonal system that comes with
a cascade of lack of sleep. Another common issue is
people use sleep aids or alcohol to try to wind down.
It'll disrupt your rim sleep and impairs your toxification. It
increases liverbird Remember we're trying to decrease liver burden, and instead,
(19:04):
what I would like you to do is start focusing
on your sleep hygiene. No screens an hour or two
before you go to bed. The blue light that comes
off the electronic device is signals a receptor in your
glands of the pineal gland in your brain that says, WHOA,
it's morning time. Shut off melotonein production blackout curtains. The
(19:26):
darker it is, the more your body says, yep, it's
time to go to bed. A cold room. I know
it's going to sound crazy, but if you get your
temperature in your bedroom between sixty five and sixty eight
at night, you will find you sleep a lot better.
We tend to snuggle up under our sheets. It gets
very comfortable and it actually can induce a sleep cycle.
(19:46):
Don't ignore the deeper causes though. Many of you might
have sleep apnea, or you're breathing through your mouth while
you're sleeping at night, or you've been exposed to a
tremendous amounts of EMF wi FI and things like that.
Functional medicine again is going to start looking deeper and say,
let's do some at home sleep studies. Let's look at
your HRV. Let's find out if you have a subluxation
(20:09):
in your spine that's causing dysfunction within your breathing pathways.
Let's start taping your mouth shut. There's so many things
you can do to enhance your sleep quality, which will
help you to heal better, which helps you to lose weight.
So we just went through the first five sort of tidbits.
I've been hand picking some of the top strategies from
(20:30):
the last three shows that I've been doing on functional
weight loss. If you start implementing the power of intimate
and fasting, you can start narrowing your eating window, which
will reset your metabolism. We explored how hidden carbohydrates and
sugars even in healthy foods, if you get rid of them,
you can unlock your body's potential to burn the stored fat.
(20:54):
We discussed how your liver is your primary detox organ
and it is essential for you to address your liver
health when you start any kind of weight loss program.
We discussed how if you start walking, that's it real
simple ten minutes after you eat. The studies show it
helps to prevent sugar spikes and crashes, and it drives
(21:17):
your fat burning. And we discussed how sleep is actually
a component of your weight loss. If you're not sleeping well,
you don't heal, you can't lose weight. Remember, your weight
is inversely related to your health. If your health is terrible,
your weight's going to go through the roof. If your
health is great, your weight comes down to match. Each
(21:38):
of these pillars are a true functional foundation of what
you'd need to do to implement weight loss. And in
segment two, I'm gonna go beyond this. We're gonna go deeper.
You'll discover how there's a nerve in your body. Get this,
the vaguus nerve that could be the missing link to
why your metabolism is not activated. We're gonna expose the
(22:00):
visible toxins that are sabotaging your wage. Remember, fat stores toxins.
Let's talk about these toxins and how to get rid
of them. We're gonna go over how to build lean
muscle so you can flip the switch on your metabolism.
And we're going to discover how your gut is intimately
connected to your health, so that weight loss can become
(22:20):
a byproduct of you getting your health back right. So
let's do something for a moment. Have a light snack,
go for a walk. We got five minutes before the
commercial break is over. In just a moment, and when
you come back, we're going to implement the second five
functional strategies. And hey, take a moment right now. I
highly encourage you send a text to seven oh four

I lost four pounds. If you go to chapter three,
just like remember this, Remember James, James and Huntersville, Right,
James giving me a shout out three days into the
gut flunch mission mentioned in chapter three, eleven pounds down.
What are we talking about with this gut flush? Well,
it's in the ebook, but watch this. Did you know
that most people store seven to ten pounds of packed
(23:31):
fecal and it's gross, isn't it? A little packed fecal materials?
They're called mucoid plaques in the colon. And in chapter
three I give you what's called flushing your digestive system
for rapid weight loss. You're gonna see it right there
for those of you on the live stream. It shows
you how to do three things fasting, fiber intake, and
a hydration plan that'll just flush that stuff right out.
(23:54):
What did James do? Right? He got eleven pounds of
crud out of his body in just three days. Yes,
involves some fasting, Yes, and involves some dietary shifts, but
it's all in there for you. Seven oh four nine

the switch and turning on your fat burning, you must
understand this vital concept. Your body was created with a
(29:24):
system that regulates everything, including your weight loss. So, yes,
you have a weight loss system inside of you. It
is your nervous system. Now, if we zoom in specifically
the vegus nerve, I want you to think of it
as like a metabolic tuning fork. Your vegus nerve, which
(29:45):
comes out of the back of your skull just below
that little soft spot behind your ear, controls your heart rate,
your digestion, your inflammation, your detox, even your hormone secretions.
When the vagus nerve is act, your body's in what's
called a paris sympathetic state. You could also term it
(30:06):
a healing state. But a healing mode is a fat
burning mode. So remember this. If you're healing, you're burning fat.
If you're not healing, you're storing fat. This is why
so many of us struggle with weight loss, because we're like, well,
I'm doing all the outside work, I'm starving myself, I'm
(30:28):
working out really hard, but I'm not seeing results. It's
because you have to get into a healing state first.
So we're gonna talk about on the masterclass. You must
get well in order to burn fat. So here's the kicker.
If like most people, you're stuck in what's called fight
or flight sympathetic dominance, as it's called stress response neurologically,
(30:50):
your body will cling to fat as a protective barrier.
So some of you are just protecting all the stress
in your body with the fat that you're storing. It
also raises cortisol, which is going to spike aginstlin and
make you hormonally store fat. Your vagus nerve and its
tone is a direct reflection of your metabolic strength. When
(31:14):
your vegus nerve is on, you recover faster, you digest easier,
you think more clearly and listen to this, you burn
fat efficiently. But when your vegus nerve is low or
interfered with, then it's you don't sleep, you're fatigue, you're bloated,
you're constipated, your brain's foggy, and you store fat. Most
people are walking around with extremely low vagual tone. We
(31:36):
test this in the clinics in Charlotte that are connected
with the astocts Arnest Group Cornerstone Health Centers, specifically the
primary chiropractic clinic in Charlotte. And there's simple things you
can do to enhance your vegus nerve. The most profound
by far is getting chiropractic treatment to release the pressure
(32:01):
between the skull and the first bone, an adjustment that
realigns the joints to take the pressure off the nerve.
You can also do things like diaframatic breathing, humming, praying.
All of these things have been shown to enhance the
vegas nerve. But make no mistake if you structurally or
out of alignment, if your skull is down, if your
(32:21):
atlas is forward, if you're in classic text neck position,
the vegas nerve is compromised. Another issue is that if
you rely on supplements to try to stimulate the nervous system,
things like magnesium and gabba and ashraganda, et cetera. You
know they can be helpful, but they're not substitutes for
(32:43):
the fact that the nerve may itself be compromised. So
the number one thing you can do is find out
if your vegas nerve is interfered with. You can actually
measure this at home. Just you guys know if you
have like an aura ring or a whoop or an
HRV monitor her anytime you see disruptions in HRV. If
(33:03):
your HRV is under fifty, that's vague nerve interference. If
your resting heart rate is north of eighty, that's vague
nerve interference. If you sweat a lot, vaguel nerve interference.
If you have neck pain, headaches, acid reflux, indigestion. You
see where I'm going with this, because it controls your
digestion vagus nerve interference. One of the greatest things you
(33:25):
can do is have an evaluation of your nervous system
to find out if your vegus nerve is interfered with
and listen. In the ebook, I even put an entire
section about how there are ways to measure vague nerve function,
everything from digital X rays to spinal thermography to even
an ortho exam to just measure the functionality of the
(33:48):
nerve structurally. There's so many ways this can be done,
especially today with the technology. If you want to activate
the raw functional power of the abilditing you to burn fat,
you have to make sure your vegus nerve is working
and connected. When you restore vagal nerve function, the research
shows it unlocks digestive strength, it balances your hormones, and
(34:11):
it physically turns on a fat burning state within your
body because you flip to parasympathetic dominance. So flip the
switch and watch what happens. Is fat just starts flying off.
Now another tip here, right it is number seven. If
you've been counting since the beginning of the show, ditch
the toxins that are making you fat. There is a
class of chemicals physically known as ready for this obesogens.
(34:34):
I mean, think about it. They term it an obesogen
because it's a toxin that physically promotes fat storage. So
if you're high in obese gens, you're gonna be promoting
fat storage. Obesogens themselves wreck your hormones, They disrupt your gut,
They slow down your thyroid, they block fat metabolism, and
what are they? Ready? Here's a list of the most
(34:56):
common obesogens. Plastics I know, oh right, all the food
containers and the bottles and all the stuff that everything
is wrapped in today. Pesticides, things that are sprayed on
the foods that you're eating. Heavy metals found in your
teeth and your deodorance and in your products that you
use on a daily basis. Mold. Not only is it
(35:19):
in the air, but oftentimes it's in a lot of
the foods you eat. Everything from coffee to peanuts, and
a lot of dried fruits have mold in them. Food additives. Right,
I know that we're on a national campaign to try
to remove food colorines and all this kind of stuff
from the foods eat. What if instead of doing that,
we just switch to a general rule you should eat
(35:40):
food that only has one ingredient and stay there for
like a month. Watch what would happen to your body
if the food you put in your mouth has one
primary ingredient. Fish is made out of fish, Beef is
made out of beef, Chickens made out of chicken. We're
not gonna do it where there's like sixteen different ingreens.
(36:00):
Eat real food, and you know what. Obesa gens will
make you fat, and they work because they mimic estrogen,
binding to fat receptors and encouraging the formation of new
fat cells. Obesogens impair leptin, which is the hormone that
tells you I'm full, which is why you're hungry all
the time. They stimulate grellin, which is your hunger hormone.
(36:24):
So imagine trying to fight against a hormonal signal like
I don't care how much willpower you have. Hormones will
win every day. So even if you eat clean and
exercise and do all the right stuff, if you're toxic,
your body will refuse to let go of fat because
it can't. And it's not a vanity thing, it's survival.
(36:46):
When you're in a hormonal state of stimulating fat storage,
it doesn't matter what you do, You're gonna store fat regardless.
The toxins must go, so then the fat can leave
with them. So the solution is layered ready first deuce
the input of toxins in your body. Drink only filtered
(37:06):
and clean water, eat only organic foods with one ingredient.
Don't put your food in plastic, use glass, cast iron,
stainless steel, and switch your personal care products to those
found on the Environmental Working Group's website that says they're
clean EWG dot org. Great website. If you reduce your exposure,
(37:28):
you can lower your toxic burden. And now we switch
to remove we have to get those toxins out. I
think it's great personally to get a test done. There's
blood in urine that can do this, that will show
you what your toxins are, because then you can be
very specific. But if you want some basic rules, activated charcoal, chlorella, zeolites,
(37:51):
these can all pull toxins from your body very easily.
Remember timing is kind of specific. When you take binders,
don't take binders, activated charcoal, zeolites, spirillina corilla whenever you're
eating food. You want to keep them away from foods
and away from supplements. And you should also do things
to help to encourage drainage of your liver up regulating
(38:15):
digestive enzymes with oxpile great step number one, do some
coffee enemas great step number two. And remember we want
to make sure that once you remove toxins, your body's
no longer going to need to store them in a
fat cell, so it doesn't need that fat cell anymore,
and it can burn it for energy. And I know
(38:38):
it's you know, a concept that a lot of you
have already heard, but detox is not like just something
you do once every so often. It is. Think of
it like the main course of weight loss. Especially in
a world we live in today, you should be daily
taking something to help enhance your detoxification process. Hey, if
you want the supplements that open up and regulate detox,
(38:59):
now's a good time to download the Functional Approach to
Weight Loss. On the very back page, we have what's
called the supplements recommended for deep tox and flushing. Everything
is there for you. You just need to text your name,
your email, and the word weight loss right now to
seven four nine zero six two zero nine four. Yes
(39:19):
it's a plug. But guess what. The text lines have
gone quiet for a moment. Usually it's because I'm talking
and you're missing out on some great information. Free resources
four week Done Female Plans, Shopping lists, recipe packs my
fifteen pounds to lose in fifteen days protocol with the
gut flush and you get access to the masterclass next Saturday. Hey,
(39:43):
just doing that alone, the live Q and A is
worth it. If you have a health need, let's take
you through the functional steps to heal from that and
watch as you lose weight as a side effect. Again,
text the word weight loss plus your name and email
to seven four nine zero s six to zero. There
they come in two zero nine four. Right. I hate
(40:04):
to say it, but like again, hey, if you want
to lose ten pounds in ten days, text the word
weight loss plus your name and email to seven O
four nine zero six two zero nine four head watch
as they fly in. But then, isn't it funny if
I say something like, hey, if you'd like to have
a tremendous amount of energy, or you'd like to get
off of medication or two in the next four weeks
cricket to cricket to cricket, Because again, most of us
(40:27):
think backwards. I just want to lose weight, doctor Ernest,
Why do I have to get healthy? Because they're inversely connected.
You can't lose weight if you are sick because Remember
your body is in that state because you're storing fat.
Your hormones are out of balance. Usually there's elevations in
blood pressure and cholesterols and treglysides, metabolog syndrome, diabetes. You
(40:47):
guys know what I'm talking about, right, We're all walking
around with something. But if you want to lose that weight,
you have to lose those components that you're using from
the outside to mask your healthy Tip number eight. If
you want to burn fat innately, you just need to
build more muscle. Let me say this loud and clear.
Muscle is a fat burner. If you're not actively building muscle,
(41:11):
you're losing muscle and replacing that weight with fat. Muscle
is truly a metabolically active organ. It burns calories even
at rest. The more muscle you have, the less issues
you have with insulin and blood sugars. The more muscle
you have, the more mitochondria you have, which means you
(41:34):
make more energy and it regulates your hormones. So I'm
gonna break it down to you very simply, more muscle
equals more fat burning twenty four to seven even when
you're asleep. Yes, muscles burn fat even when they're not active,
so while you're laying in bed at night, your muscles
can burn fat. But sadly, many weight loss programs focus
(41:57):
on the wrong kinds of exercise. We talked about this
in our show last week. Cardio caloric restrictive fat burning
workouts doesn't happen, doesn't work. The real magic is when
you start using your muscles functionally. Resistance training, specifically what's
(42:19):
known as a decline resistance where you grab a weight
and instead of just up and down and up and
down like most of us just innately do when we
go to the gym. Right, let's sit down and just
grab some barbells or dumbbells and just up and down. Nah,
it doesn't work like that. You want to contract and
then very slowly resist the decline. A resisted decline exercise
(42:44):
way better at burning muscle than anything else. Resistance training
also increases testosterone, improves growth hormone, which will help you
to lose weight. And Resistance training also can help you
to prevent the loss of muscle, which is a common
trap that a lot of us fall into when we
go on low calorie diets. Remember, muscle is your engine
(43:07):
of your metabolism. The more lean muscle you have, the
more efficient your body becomes a burning fat. It also
reduces inflammation, improves bone density, enhances detoxification. Because you get
better circulation of blood flow, muscles will pump blood throughout
your body. And the number one mistake that a lot
of people make again when they go to workout is
(43:30):
they think that cardiovascular workouts are king right. Got to
get on that treadmill and get into my fat burning
zone and stay there for twenty minutes. Yet here's what
the research says. Cardiovascular long duration, low intensity workouts raise cortisol, burns,
muscle yikes, and leads to significant plateaus. So again, what's
(43:54):
the perfect thing to do. I know it's gonna sound nuts.
Eat your breakfast, go for ten minute walk, eat your lunch,
go for ten minute walk, eat your dinner, go for
a ten minute walk. Begger bang for your buck than
on the treadmill for thirty minutes, So you don't need
a gym. Body weight exercises, resistance banding, kettlebells, functional movements
(44:18):
right like just going up and down the stairs as
fast as you can. These are all great ways to
create progressive overload, a challenge to your muscles over time.
Remember to fuel your body, we need high quality proteins
and minerals. Okay, Number nine, heal your leaky gut because
(44:39):
this is where we absorb nutrients, the cleanest diet in
the world. Even if you begin to fast like a monk,
your gut won't absorb nutrients if it's leaking. Functional weight
loss begins with looking at the gut integrity. There are
certain components of things that occur where the junctions of
the cells of our gut to become damaged and as
(45:02):
they spread apart, it allows toxins, undigested food particles, microbes, bacteria,
viruses can start to get into your blood and it
creates an inflammatory cascade. Guess what happens with inflammation, guys.
Cortisol goes up, insulin goes up, weight goes up. Plus
your body's gonna know that it's leaking. So you know
(45:24):
what it does. It packs fats all around your abdomen
to act as like a security blanket. Why fat stores toxins.
So how do we start addressing the fact that our
gut's leaking. Well, Number one, we need to remove the
irritants that cause primary gut leaks in the first place.
Gluten dairy, soy, processed sugars, seed oils, canola, corn, wessin,
(45:50):
artificial sweeteners, even things like alcohol. All this can promote
a leaky gut. Step number two, we need to repair
your intestines. I personally like el glutamine, alo vera, slippery
ELM bark. A lot of these will help to seal
and heal the intestines. Bone broth fasting is a phenomenal
(46:12):
way to load your colon up with glysine and collagen
which helps to pull the cells together. And again, I
have a gut ceiling fast set for you. Inside of
the ebook. It tows you, tells you exactly how to
do this, and you can see tremendous amounts of weight
fly off as all that stuck stool and mucoids come out.
(46:32):
To Simply text the word weight loss plus your name
and email to seven O four nine zero six two
zero nine four and you can have that yours free today.
So another mistake is that a lot of people ignore
stress to the nervous system with their gut. Chronic stress
can slow down your digestion by interfering with the vagus nerve,
(46:52):
so it means that there's less stomach acid poor endzime output,
and a lot of times what happens is undigested food
stays in your intestines. So some of the easiest things
you can do is to start taking a digestive enzyme,
which will naturally help to break the food down and
get your body digesting things easier. So when your gut
is sealed, your inflammation drops, your hormones improve, your nutrient
(47:17):
absorption starts to skyrocket, and you'll begin to lose weight naturally. Okay,
number ten, I've got maybe three minutes to do this.
This is an entire show in and of itself. Go
back and download the shows about thyroid and weight loss.
Because your thyroid hormones actively tell you to burn fat,
and I'm going to keep it nice and simple. If
(47:38):
your liver is congested, your thyroid can be working, but
your body's taking the inactive thyroid hormone T four and
turning it into a toxic version known as reverse T three.
And the reverse T three tells your body don't burn
fat for energy. So having something called reverse T three
(47:58):
dominance is the the anchor that can hold you back hormonally,
just like insulin says, store a fat. Reverse T three says,
don't burn it. So if insulin is up, I'm storing
all my fat. If reverse T three is up, I'm
not burning that fat. So you can keep storing, not burning.
Keep storing not burning, and you see the problem. It
(48:19):
piles up. It'd be like having a fire pit and
there's no fire in it, but someone is still delivering
the wood, insulin bringing the wood, just piling it up.
Reverse T three don't light that fire. Now here's what happens.
Active thyrate hormone looks at this situation, says, you guys
are nuts. It comes into the fire pit, ignites a
(48:41):
fire and starts to move the wood in and burns
the fire. The wood is your fat, The fire is
the hormones. The heat is your fat burning. Can you
turn that switch on right now? Yes? Join me for

a live masterclass where I'm gonna teach you the three
main reasons the body is not healthy, so we can
(04:05):
break away from high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid issues,

highly encourage you take action. If you're listening to my voice,

to finish it off. Seven oh four nine zero six
(05:14):
two zero nine four. All we need again is your name,
your email, and the word weight loss, and my team
will get you set and taken from there. So why
don't we kick off today with what I would consider
to be the number one fat burning strategy that most
people don't understand, and we talk about it regularly on
our shows, but I need to hammer at home. It's
the idea of fasting, not starving, but functional fasting. You know,
(05:39):
one of the easiest ways that you can get your
body to start burning fat is to simply stop eating
food and let your body get into a metabolic state
where it has to pull energy from your reserves, and
some of you have a tremendous amount of reserves. You
have all this stored energy, and fasting, by the way,
is not just a trend, it's how your bodies are
(06:01):
designed to function. Think about it. Throughout human history, we
have come from times of feasting and famines. So like
your ancestors didn't have the options of waking up and
being like, well, I'll just go to the fridge and
grab whatever I have, or let me drive to the
local convenience store or grocery store and have twenty four
(06:23):
to seven, three hundred and sixty five days access to foods.
There wasn't an idea of three square meals plus snacks
and a dessert. It just didn't exist. Fasting is the
easiest way to flip your metabolic switch from sugar burning,
which is a highly inflammatory, oxidizable disease state. You don't
want to be stuck in sugar burning over to fat burning,
(06:46):
and when you do it correctly, you can lose a
tremendous amount of weight quickly. From a functional perspective, here's
what fasting does. It resets your hormones. Did you know
that human growth hormone can go up by two thousand
percent and then and up to thirteen hundred percent in women.
If you fast for twenty four to forty eight hours,
(07:06):
it can lower insulin, it can reduce inflammation. It turns
on your body's natural process of cleansing and cleaning autophagy,
where it gets rid of disease tissues. It improves mitochondrial efficiency,
so your energy goes through the roof. And think of
it like this. You're not just skipping a breakfast. You're
giving your digestive system a break and you're giving your
(07:28):
cells the opportunity to heal. We usually recommend a sixteen
hour fast with an eight hour eating window. First eight
hours is while you're asleep. Second eight hours is the
first portion of your day waking up. Third eight hours
is when you eat. Here's the mistake that most people
make though they fast, but then when they eat, they're
eating lower quality foods, right, So pizzas and cupcakes and
(07:51):
all the standard stuff that you've been doing. So you
have to remember that we need to clean up the
food we eat as well. And it's really not that complicated.
Just eat real food. One ingredient food items what's in celery, celery?
What's in spinach? Spinach? What's in chicken? Chicken? We don't
want ingredients that are five, six, ten, fifteen, twenty deep
(08:12):
on whatever you're put in your mouth. And remember, if
fasting is not a diet, it's a rhythm. It's a
way of aligning your patterns of your body with the
circadian cycles and even the hormone cycles within your body.
I talked about this earlier, about this concept of hormonal
tracking with eating. It's not what you eat, it's when
(08:34):
you eat that's important. So if you're new to fasting,
don't just jump straight into a twenty four or forty
hour fast. Start slow, get rid of breakfast, do that
for a couple weeks, push your lunch back a little bit,
do that for a couple of weeks. Then try a
twenty four hour fast. I kid you not the research
behind twenty four. Then shifting to forty eight. Then watch this.
(08:56):
Shifting to seventy two is outrageously powerful for your body.
Sometimes it's all you need to just get the engine
started and rev it up, so then we can shift
to number two. The biggest thing you need to do.
And hopefully this makes sense is we have to decrease carbohydrates.
Not all carbs are evil, but most people eat anywhere
(09:16):
between Watch this two hundred and fifty to three hundred
grams of carbohydrates per day. It's an exorbitant amount of sugar,
refine flowers, fake health foods. Anything that's carbohydrate laden is
going to spike insulin, which is your fat storage hormone.
Remember this insulin makes you store fat. But doctor Ur,
(09:36):
I don't have diabetes. I don't need to pay attention
to insulin. Yes, you do. Everything you put in your
mouth turns into insulin. So insulin is the key. If
we can lower your insulin, then your body becomes more
active metabolically. We don't store fat, we burn fat instead.
(09:57):
And here's the mistake. A lot of us just think
that they're cutting out carbs because we've stopped using sugars.
If you skip things like breads and pastas, it's awesome.
But look watch out fruit smoothies. Right. I had a
smoothie for breakfast with bananas and blueberries and pineapple and strawberries.
Still a lot of sugar. I eat oatmeal, tremendous amounts
of sugar. Granola bars, kombuchas that are basically sugar bombs
(10:19):
in disguise. All of this healthy food can still spike
your insulin. Watch out again for sodas and juices and
even healthy drinks that are from the grocery stores and
things like that. You would never eat ten apples in
a sitting, would you, But if you have just one
glass of apple juice, it's liquid carbohydrates. So what we
(10:40):
want to do instead is hydrate with water or herbal
teas or even black coffees. Beware of the hidden culprits.
One of the biggest sources of carbohydrates that's a negating
fact is the whole grains that many of us eat.
I know, right, but talk to ours. I thought whole
grains were good for you. Well, they're good if you
(11:01):
want to end up like the average American. Medicate it
and overweight. Your body breaks down whole wheat faster into
sugar than straight table sugar. I could give you a
wheat piece of bread, have you eat it, measure your
blood sugars afterwards, and then also give you a tablespoon
of sugar. Measure your blood sugars afterwards, and the sugar
(11:24):
spike will be higher. With the wheat bread. Remember not
all carbs are evil, but your body needs to make
sure that we're in a state of burning fat instead
of carbohydrates. So if you lower your carbohydrate index instead
of two hundred and fifty to three hundred grams, try
twenty five to thirty, a ninety percent reduction in carbohydrates,
(11:44):
bumping up proteins and fats. Do some intimate and fasting
and watch as over the course of a week or
two you see change. I mean, you heard it, guys, Melissa,
she did it. She followed the intimated and fasting guides.
Nine pounds down in two weeks. That's extra dravagant. Okay.
Tip number three detox your way to weight loss. Your
(12:08):
liver is your body's metabolic powerhouse, processes hormones, filters toxins.
It's converting thyron hormones actively. Ultimately, your liver's what determines
if you burn fat or if you store it. So
in functional medicine we say it like this, a toxic
liver is a fat storer And unfortunately, in today's world,
(12:29):
with glycosates and plastics and heavy metals and all the
endocrine disrupting chemicals found in the products we use daily,
everything from your toothpaste to your deodorants, to your laundry detergents,
to your dishwasher soaps, to just the stuff that you
guys have around your home. When your liver becomes overloaded,
your metabolism will crawl its way, so toxins clog the
(12:53):
cellular machinery inside your liver. And where this becomes a
massive problem is your liver converts your thyroid hormone T four,
which is inactive, into active T three, which makes you
burn fat. See a lot of you are running around
with low levels of T three, high levels of reverse
(13:13):
T three, congested clogged detox pathways. You have to understand
your liver has two phases that it gets ridgs of things.
Phase one tags it and makes it water soluble, using
an enzyme called cytochrome P four fifty. Phase two eliminating
those toxins, usually through methidation or using glut to thione
(13:36):
to conjugate and pull it out. Phase two requires binders
and keyulators, methylation, nutrients, B twelve, fol late glutethione, active binders,
bentonite clays, and charcoals. So here's the cool thing. There's
all these ways that you can enhance your detox and
if you join me on the masterclass, I will physically
(13:59):
show you specifically a detox that can break down the
congestion in your liver, turn on your fatborny switch and
help you to do ten to fifteen pounds in as
little as two weeks. And again remember in the Weight
Loss Functional Approach ebook is the guide that you need
to start it now. We have a week until the masterclass.
You could implement the protocols in this ebook and already
(14:21):
be down seven eight nine ten pounds. When you join
us online live, text your name and your email plus
the word weight loss to seven oh four nine zero
six to zero nine four. I'll send you the ebook today.
You'll get registered today. We'll follow up next Saturday. Guys,
everything is free, you just have to take the time
and send the text again seven oh four nine zero
(14:44):
six to zero nine four. So in short, if you've
tried everything diet, exercise, and your body's not burning fat,
let's look to your liver. It's not about willpower, it's
about biochemistry. If we detox, the body, fat stores toxins.
(15:04):
So if you're not losing weight, it could be because
the fat cells in your body are full with toxins,
and if we detox the body and the liver properly,
there goes the fat. Okay, here's a tip that might
shock you in regards to weight loss. Make sure that
after you eat, you get up and move around. After
(15:24):
every single meal, move It might sound simple, but it's impactful.
Walking after a meal is one of the most overlooked
yet powerful ways to reduce blood sugars, reduce fat storage,
and improve your digestion. It doesn't require a gem or
a coach your equipment. Literally take ten minutes and just
go for a walk. Remember, functional weight loss is about
(15:45):
strategies and timing. Did you know that if you take
a walk after you eat breakfast luntch your dinner for
just ten minutes. It helps to shuttle glucose into your
muscles where it will stay as a precursor for energy,
as opposed to staining in your blood and turn it
into fat. It helps to reduce insolent spikes. It activates
(16:07):
what is known as zone two fat burning. It just
takes ten minutes. It'll target the fat in your body
yet preserve your muscles. The mistake that a lot of
people think is they have to exercise like crazy, right,
I gotta go to the gym and spend sixty minutes.
I can't do that, So why bother studies show walking
(16:27):
for ten minutes three times a day is a better
decreaser in your blood sugars than just one thirty minute walk.
Consistency and timing, of course, will beat the intensities every
single time. You can avoid the trap of sitting all
day long and you know making up your workouts. If
(16:48):
you just create a habit go for a walk after
you eat, it can shift your metabolism more than any
fancy supplement, more than any machine. And don't underestimate its power.
It sounds so simple, yet it's so profound. And here's
the cool thing. It's absolutely free. So we could start
intermittent fasting and implement a timed pattern to our eating.
(17:10):
We can cut our carbohydrates down and increase our fats
and our proteins. We can start to just go for
a walk after we eat. And these are simple strategies, guys,
very easy to implement. Okay, here's a functional tip number
five if you will, since we're counting that a lot
of people again, overlook, we talked about this in the
show last week. Sleep has more impacts on your weight
(17:35):
than you've given it credit to. If you're not sleeping,
you're not healing. Period. If you're not healing, you're not
losing weight. Period. Sleep is optional for fat loss. No no, no, no, see,
I was trying to throw a little trick for you.
Sleep is not optional. It is essential for your fat loss.
Deep restorative sleep produces growth hormones, repairs tissues, detoxify your brain,
(18:00):
decreases leptin and grel And remember, leptin is the hormone
that comes out of your fat cells that says to
the brain, I'm full and I'm good. What happens is
the brain stops listening to leptin, leptin starts to climb.
We become leptin resistance. Grellin is the hormone that comes
from the stomach and the pancreas and it tells your body,
(18:21):
I am hungry. So when leptin's signals are shut off,
grellin goes through the roof. This is why you're hungry
all the time and you're not burning fat. So from
a functional perspective, poor sleep can also lead to high
cortisol instlin resistance elevations in grellin, which makes you hungry.
So again, remember you're not lazy, you're not broken, you're
(18:44):
not biologically impaired. It's a hormonal system that comes with
a cascade of lack of sleep. Another common issue is
people use sleep aids or alcohol to try to wind down.
It'll disrupt your rim sleep and impairs your toxification. It
increases liverbird Remember we're trying to decrease liver burden, and instead,
(19:04):
what I would like you to do is start focusing
on your sleep hygiene. No screens an hour or two
before you go to bed. The blue light that comes
off the electronic device is signals a receptor in your
glands of the pineal gland in your brain that says, WHOA,
it's morning time. Shut off melotonein production blackout curtains. The
(19:26):
darker it is, the more your body says, yep, it's
time to go to bed. A cold room. I know
it's going to sound crazy, but if you get your
temperature in your bedroom between sixty five and sixty eight
at night, you will find you sleep a lot better.
We tend to snuggle up under our sheets. It gets
very comfortable and it actually can induce a sleep cycle.
(19:46):
Don't ignore the deeper causes though. Many of you might
have sleep apnea, or you're breathing through your mouth while
you're sleeping at night, or you've been exposed to a
tremendous amounts of EMF wi FI and things like that.
Functional medicine again is going to start looking deeper and say,
let's do some at home sleep studies. Let's look at
your HRV. Let's find out if you have a subluxation
(20:09):
in your spine that's causing dysfunction within your breathing pathways.
Let's start taping your mouth shut. There's so many things
you can do to enhance your sleep quality, which will
help you to heal better, which helps you to lose weight.
So we just went through the first five sort of tidbits.
I've been hand picking some of the top strategies from
(20:30):
the last three shows that I've been doing on functional
weight loss. If you start implementing the power of intimate
and fasting, you can start narrowing your eating window, which
will reset your metabolism. We explored how hidden carbohydrates and
sugars even in healthy foods, if you get rid of them,
you can unlock your body's potential to burn the stored fat.
(20:54):
We discussed how your liver is your primary detox organ
and it is essential for you to address your liver
health when you start any kind of weight loss program.
We discussed how if you start walking, that's it real
simple ten minutes after you eat. The studies show it
helps to prevent sugar spikes and crashes, and it drives
(21:17):
your fat burning. And we discussed how sleep is actually
a component of your weight loss. If you're not sleeping well,
you don't heal, you can't lose weight. Remember, your weight
is inversely related to your health. If your health is terrible,
your weight's going to go through the roof. If your
health is great, your weight comes down to match. Each
(21:38):
of these pillars are a true functional foundation of what
you'd need to do to implement weight loss. And in
segment two, I'm gonna go beyond this. We're gonna go deeper.
You'll discover how there's a nerve in your body. Get this,
the vaguus nerve that could be the missing link to
why your metabolism is not activated. We're gonna expose the
(22:00):
visible toxins that are sabotaging your wage. Remember, fat stores toxins.
Let's talk about these toxins and how to get rid
of them. We're gonna go over how to build lean
muscle so you can flip the switch on your metabolism.
And we're going to discover how your gut is intimately
connected to your health, so that weight loss can become
(22:20):
a byproduct of you getting your health back right. So
let's do something for a moment. Have a light snack,
go for a walk. We got five minutes before the
commercial break is over. In just a moment, and when
you come back, we're going to implement the second five
functional strategies. And hey, take a moment right now. I
highly encourage you send a text to seven oh four

three I give you what's called flushing your digestive system
for rapid weight loss. You're gonna see it right there

name and email to seven oh four nine zero six
(28:38):
to zero nine four. Okay, the next portion of our
show today is going to be the truly audacious statements.
You're going to listen to this and be like, wait,
what are you kidding me? I call this portion my
advanced fat burning stages or protocols like you implement this
like you're gonna go for the moon. These are strategies
(29:00):
that most traditional weight loss programs will miss entirely because
they don't look at the interconnectiveness of who you are,
how you're functionally built. So if you're ready for flipping
the switch and turning on your fat burning, you must
understand this vital concept. Your body was created with a
(29:24):
system that regulates everything, including your weight loss. So, yes,
you have a weight loss system inside of you. It
is your nervous system. Now, if we zoom in specifically
the vegus nerve, I want you to think of it
as like a metabolic tuning fork. Your vegus nerve, which
(29:45):
comes out of the back of your skull just below
that little soft spot behind your ear, controls your heart rate,
your digestion, your inflammation, your detox, even your hormone secretions.
When the vagus nerve is act, your body's in what's
called a paris sympathetic state. You could also term it
(30:06):
a healing state. But a healing mode is a fat
burning mode. So remember this. If you're healing, you're burning fat.
If you're not healing, you're storing fat. This is why
so many of us struggle with weight loss, because we're like, well,
I'm doing all the outside work, I'm starving myself, I'm
(30:28):
working out really hard, but I'm not seeing results. It's
because you have to get into a healing state first.
So we're gonna talk about on the masterclass. You must
get well in order to burn fat. So here's the kicker.
If like most people, you're stuck in what's called fight
or flight sympathetic dominance, as it's called stress response neurologically,
(30:50):
your body will cling to fat as a protective barrier.
So some of you are just protecting all the stress
in your body with the fat that you're storing. It
also raises cortisol, which is going to spike aginstlin and
make you hormonally store fat. Your vagus nerve and its
tone is a direct reflection of your metabolic strength. When
(31:14):
your vegus nerve is on, you recover faster, you digest easier,
you think more clearly and listen to this, you burn
fat efficiently. But when your vegus nerve is low or
interfered with, then it's you don't sleep, you're fatigue, you're bloated,
you're constipated, your brain's foggy, and you store fat. Most
people are walking around with extremely low vagual tone. We
(31:36):
test this in the clinics in Charlotte that are connected
with the astocts Arnest Group Cornerstone Health Centers, specifically the
primary chiropractic clinic in Charlotte. And there's simple things you
can do to enhance your vegus nerve. The most profound
by far is getting chiropractic treatment to release the pressure
(32:01):
between the skull and the first bone, an adjustment that
realigns the joints to take the pressure off the nerve.
You can also do things like diaframatic breathing, humming, praying.
All of these things have been shown to enhance the
vegas nerve. But make no mistake if you structurally or
out of alignment, if your skull is down, if your
(32:21):
atlas is forward, if you're in classic text neck position,
the vegas nerve is compromised. Another issue is that if
you rely on supplements to try to stimulate the nervous system,
things like magnesium and gabba and ashraganda, et cetera. You
know they can be helpful, but they're not substitutes for
(32:43):
the fact that the nerve may itself be compromised. So
the number one thing you can do is find out
if your vegas nerve is interfered with. You can actually
measure this at home. Just you guys know if you
have like an aura ring or a whoop or an
HRV monitor her anytime you see disruptions in HRV. If
(33:03):
your HRV is under fifty, that's vague nerve interference. If
your resting heart rate is north of eighty, that's vague
nerve interference. If you sweat a lot, vaguel nerve interference.
If you have neck pain, headaches, acid reflux, indigestion. You
see where I'm going with this, because it controls your
digestion vagus nerve interference. One of the greatest things you
(33:25):
can do is have an evaluation of your nervous system
to find out if your vegus nerve is interfered with
and listen. In the ebook, I even put an entire
section about how there are ways to measure vague nerve function,
everything from digital X rays to spinal thermography to even
an ortho exam to just measure the functionality of the
(33:48):
nerve structurally. There's so many ways this can be done,
especially today with the technology. If you want to activate
the raw functional power of the abilditing you to burn fat,
you have to make sure your vegus nerve is working
and connected. When you restore vagal nerve function, the research
shows it unlocks digestive strength, it balances your hormones, and
(34:11):
it physically turns on a fat burning state within your
body because you flip to parasympathetic dominance. So flip the
switch and watch what happens. Is fat just starts flying off.
Now another tip here, right it is number seven. If
you've been counting since the beginning of the show, ditch
the toxins that are making you fat. There is a
class of chemicals physically known as ready for this obesogens.
(34:34):
I mean, think about it. They term it an obesogen
because it's a toxin that physically promotes fat storage. So
if you're high in obese gens, you're gonna be promoting
fat storage. Obesogens themselves wreck your hormones, They disrupt your gut,
They slow down your thyroid, they block fat metabolism, and
what are they? Ready? Here's a list of the most
(34:56):
common obesogens. Plastics I know, oh right, all the food
containers and the bottles and all the stuff that everything
is wrapped in today. Pesticides, things that are sprayed on
the foods that you're eating. Heavy metals found in your
teeth and your deodorance and in your products that you
use on a daily basis. Mold. Not only is it
(35:19):
in the air, but oftentimes it's in a lot of
the foods you eat. Everything from coffee to peanuts, and
a lot of dried fruits have mold in them. Food additives. Right,
I know that we're on a national campaign to try
to remove food colorines and all this kind of stuff
from the foods eat. What if instead of doing that,
we just switch to a general rule you should eat
(35:40):
food that only has one ingredient and stay there for
like a month. Watch what would happen to your body
if the food you put in your mouth has one
primary ingredient. Fish is made out of fish, Beef is
made out of beef, Chickens made out of chicken. We're
not gonna do it where there's like sixteen different ingreens.
(36:00):
Eat real food, and you know what. Obesa gens will
make you fat, and they work because they mimic estrogen,
binding to fat receptors and encouraging the formation of new
fat cells. Obesogens impair leptin, which is the hormone that
tells you I'm full, which is why you're hungry all
the time. They stimulate grellin, which is your hunger hormone.
(36:24):
So imagine trying to fight against a hormonal signal like
I don't care how much willpower you have. Hormones will
win every day. So even if you eat clean and
exercise and do all the right stuff, if you're toxic,
your body will refuse to let go of fat because
it can't. And it's not a vanity thing, it's survival.
(36:46):
When you're in a hormonal state of stimulating fat storage,
it doesn't matter what you do, You're gonna store fat regardless.
The toxins must go, so then the fat can leave
with them. So the solution is layered ready first deuce
the input of toxins in your body. Drink only filtered
(37:06):
and clean water, eat only organic foods with one ingredient.
Don't put your food in plastic, use glass, cast iron,
stainless steel, and switch your personal care products to those
found on the Environmental Working Group's website that says they're
clean EWG dot org. Great website. If you reduce your exposure,
(37:28):
you can lower your toxic burden. And now we switch
to remove we have to get those toxins out. I
think it's great personally to get a test done. There's
blood in urine that can do this, that will show
you what your toxins are, because then you can be
very specific. But if you want some basic rules, activated charcoal, chlorella, zeolites,
(37:51):
these can all pull toxins from your body very easily.
Remember timing is kind of specific. When you take binders,
don't take binders, activated charcoal, zeolites, spirillina corilla whenever you're
eating food. You want to keep them away from foods
and away from supplements. And you should also do things
to help to encourage drainage of your liver up regulating
(38:15):
digestive enzymes with oxpile great step number one, do some
coffee enemas great step number two. And remember we want
to make sure that once you remove toxins, your body's
no longer going to need to store them in a
fat cell, so it doesn't need that fat cell anymore,
and it can burn it for energy. And I know
(38:38):
it's you know, a concept that a lot of you
have already heard, but detox is not like just something
you do once every so often. It is. Think of
it like the main course of weight loss. Especially in
a world we live in today, you should be daily
taking something to help enhance your detoxification process. Hey, if
you want the supplements that open up and regulate detox,
(38:59):
now's a good time to download the Functional Approach to
Weight Loss. On the very back page, we have what's
called the supplements recommended for deep tox and flushing. Everything
is there for you. You just need to text your name,
your email, and the word weight loss right now to
seven four nine zero six two zero nine four. Yes
(39:19):
it's a plug. But guess what. The text lines have
gone quiet for a moment. Usually it's because I'm talking
and you're missing out on some great information. Free resources
four week Done Female Plans, Shopping lists, recipe packs my
fifteen pounds to lose in fifteen days protocol with the
gut flush and you get access to the masterclass next Saturday. Hey,
(39:43):
just doing that alone, the live Q and A is
worth it. If you have a health need, let's take
you through the functional steps to heal from that and
watch as you lose weight as a side effect. Again,
text the word weight loss plus your name and email
to seven four nine zero s six to zero. There
they come in two zero nine four. Right. I hate
(40:04):
to say it, but like again, hey, if you want
to lose ten pounds in ten days, text the word
weight loss plus your name and email to seven O
four nine zero six two zero nine four head watch
as they fly in. But then, isn't it funny if
I say something like, hey, if you'd like to have
a tremendous amount of energy, or you'd like to get
off of medication or two in the next four weeks
cricket to cricket to cricket, Because again, most of us
(40:27):
think backwards. I just want to lose weight, doctor Ernest,
Why do I have to get healthy? Because they're inversely connected.
You can't lose weight if you are sick because Remember
your body is in that state because you're storing fat.
Your hormones are out of balance. Usually there's elevations in
blood pressure and cholesterols and treglysides, metabolog syndrome, diabetes. You
(40:47):
guys know what I'm talking about, right, We're all walking
around with something. But if you want to lose that weight,
you have to lose those components that you're using from
the outside to mask your healthy Tip number eight. If
you want to burn fat innately, you just need to
build more muscle. Let me say this loud and clear.
Muscle is a fat burner. If you're not actively building muscle,
(41:11):
you're losing muscle and replacing that weight with fat. Muscle
is truly a metabolically active organ. It burns calories even
at rest. The more muscle you have, the less issues
you have with insulin and blood sugars. The more muscle
you have, the more mitochondria you have, which means you
(41:34):
make more energy and it regulates your hormones. So I'm
gonna break it down to you very simply, more muscle
equals more fat burning twenty four to seven even when
you're asleep. Yes, muscles burn fat even when they're not active,
so while you're laying in bed at night, your muscles
can burn fat. But sadly, many weight loss programs focus
(41:57):
on the wrong kinds of exercise. We talked about this
in our show last week. Cardio caloric restrictive fat burning
workouts doesn't happen, doesn't work. The real magic is when
you start using your muscles functionally. Resistance training, specifically what's
(42:19):
known as a decline resistance where you grab a weight
and instead of just up and down and up and
down like most of us just innately do when we
go to the gym. Right, let's sit down and just
grab some barbells or dumbbells and just up and down. Nah,
it doesn't work like that. You want to contract and
then very slowly resist the decline. A resisted decline exercise
(42:44):
way better at burning muscle than anything else. Resistance training
also increases testosterone, improves growth hormone, which will help you
to lose weight. And Resistance training also can help you
to prevent the loss of muscle, which is a common
trap that a lot of us fall into when we
go on low calorie diets. Remember, muscle is your engine
(43:07):
of your metabolism. The more lean muscle you have, the
more efficient your body becomes a burning fat. It also
reduces inflammation, improves bone density, enhances detoxification. Because you get
better circulation of blood flow, muscles will pump blood throughout
your body. And the number one mistake that a lot
of people make again when they go to workout is
(43:30):
they think that cardiovascular workouts are king right. Got to
get on that treadmill and get into my fat burning
zone and stay there for twenty minutes. Yet here's what
the research says. Cardiovascular long duration, low intensity workouts raise cortisol, burns,
muscle yikes, and leads to significant plateaus. So again, what's
(43:54):
the perfect thing to do. I know it's gonna sound nuts.
Eat your breakfast, go for ten minute walk, eat your lunch,
go for ten minute walk, eat your dinner, go for
a ten minute walk. Begger bang for your buck than
on the treadmill for thirty minutes, So you don't need
a gym. Body weight exercises, resistance banding, kettlebells, functional movements
(44:18):
right like just going up and down the stairs as
fast as you can. These are all great ways to
create progressive overload, a challenge to your muscles over time.
Remember to fuel your body, we need high quality proteins
and minerals. Okay, Number nine, heal your leaky gut because
(44:39):
this is where we absorb nutrients, the cleanest diet in
the world. Even if you begin to fast like a monk,
your gut won't absorb nutrients if it's leaking. Functional weight
loss begins with looking at the gut integrity. There are
certain components of things that occur where the junctions of
the cells of our gut to become damaged and as
(45:02):
they spread apart, it allows toxins, undigested food particles, microbes, bacteria,
viruses can start to get into your blood and it
creates an inflammatory cascade. Guess what happens with inflammation, guys.
Cortisol goes up, insulin goes up, weight goes up. Plus
your body's gonna know that it's leaking. So you know
(45:24):
what it does. It packs fats all around your abdomen
to act as like a security blanket. Why fat stores toxins.
So how do we start addressing the fact that our
gut's leaking. Well, Number one, we need to remove the
irritants that cause primary gut leaks in the first place.
Gluten dairy, soy, processed sugars, seed oils, canola, corn, wessin,
(45:50):
artificial sweeteners, even things like alcohol. All this can promote
a leaky gut. Step number two, we need to repair
your intestines. I personally like el glutamine, alo vera, slippery
ELM bark. A lot of these will help to seal
and heal the intestines. Bone broth fasting is a phenomenal
(46:12):
way to load your colon up with glysine and collagen
which helps to pull the cells together. And again, I
have a gut ceiling fast set for you. Inside of
the ebook. It tows you, tells you exactly how to
do this, and you can see tremendous amounts of weight
fly off as all that stuck stool and mucoids come out.
(46:32):
To Simply text the word weight loss plus your name
and email to seven O four nine zero six two
zero nine four and you can have that yours free today.
So another mistake is that a lot of people ignore
stress to the nervous system with their gut. Chronic stress
can slow down your digestion by interfering with the vagus nerve,
(46:52):
so it means that there's less stomach acid poor endzime output,
and a lot of times what happens is undigested food
stays in your intestines. So some of the easiest things
you can do is to start taking a digestive enzyme,
which will naturally help to break the food down and
get your body digesting things easier. So when your gut
is sealed, your inflammation drops, your hormones improve, your nutrient
(47:17):
absorption starts to skyrocket, and you'll begin to lose weight naturally. Okay,
number ten, I've got maybe three minutes to do this.
This is an entire show in and of itself. Go
back and download the shows about thyroid and weight loss.
Because your thyroid hormones actively tell you to burn fat,
and I'm going to keep it nice and simple. If
(47:38):
your liver is congested, your thyroid can be working, but
your body's taking the inactive thyroid hormone T four and
turning it into a toxic version known as reverse T three.
And the reverse T three tells your body don't burn
fat for energy. So having something called reverse T three
(47:58):
dominance is the the anchor that can hold you back hormonally,
just like insulin says, store a fat. Reverse T three says,
don't burn it. So if insulin is up, I'm storing
all my fat. If reverse T three is up, I'm
not burning that fat. So you can keep storing, not burning.
Keep storing not burning, and you see the problem. It
(48:19):
piles up. It'd be like having a fire pit and
there's no fire in it, but someone is still delivering
the wood, insulin bringing the wood, just piling it up.
Reverse T three don't light that fire. Now here's what happens.
Active thyrate hormone looks at this situation, says, you guys
are nuts. It comes into the fire pit, ignites a
(48:41):
fire and starts to move the wood in and burns
the fire. The wood is your fat, The fire is
the hormones. The heat is your fat burning. Can you
turn that switch on right now? Yes? Join me for
