Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi, how's it going?
So we're continuing on thisconversation of stress and how
it affects your body andspecifically your hormones and
GLP-1s and what it does to you,what it does to stress and the
stress hormones.
Initially we talked aboutchronic stress in a previous

(00:25):
lesson and it's talking abouthow overall chronic stress over
time elevates cortisol levels.
It is one to disrupting thehomeostasis, the equilibrium of
your hormones, that your body'sbalance.
With interventions such asmindful-based meditation, um,
meditation, um.

(00:46):
This will help with thathypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal
Um, so that it will help kindof that mind body connection,
specifically that access oflowering the cortisol or at
least balancing it out.
And when you look at theresearch you know the impact of

(01:06):
having a good tamed hormones.
Your body in turn will build abetter mindfulness practice
which then in turn is built forbalance, which then in turn will
help with GLP secretion or thebenefits balancing out when use

(01:26):
of a GLP medication.
Now enhancement of this growthhormones itself.
So a human growth hormone playsa role in metabolism and in
general for muscle growthoverall.
When you notice that evidencehas shown and has come out that
you can improve your humangrowth hormone, you're going to

(01:49):
improve your overall umbalancing here by contributing
by um, meditation andmindfulness.
So we're talking about howimproving your stressors in the
hormones when you balance outcertain certain hormones then
can actually improve the uptakeof GLP-1.
So there is a connectionbetween mindfulness and the

(02:12):
human growth hormone and thebenefits that will help with
experiencing calm during thechaos.
I have many of the slides ofmindfulness and stress
management and meditations thatyou can check out on my podcast
for our youtube channel glad toshow you and be a part of that
um to give you more information.

(02:33):
The body itself um, when you'retalking about regulations with
the body as hormones for femaleor male hormones, and you're
trying to balance out the um,the hormones, so that you don't
become um higher in the cortisolor high, high estrogen, high um

(02:58):
estrogen or testosterone oreven low side, this management
in itself will actually manageyour weight.
So it's a little bit morecomplex than just a baseline,
but think of it like your body'sway of regulating its system by

(03:25):
kind of resetting and calmingdown.
Now, mindful days practicesgives you that approach to help
benefit many things.
And here we're talking aboutwomen and men's hormones.
Now, practical ways that youuse mindfulness techniques to

(03:46):
balance the hormones, then inturn, those hormone balance will
help with an uptick in the glpor at least balancing out that.
So it's it's kind of a um.
They're inversely related butrelated because glp.
So mindful breathing, engage indeep, focused breathing,

(04:09):
exercise and activate yourparasympathetic and reducing
stress and cortisol levels.
You can use body scans.
So I have a couple meditationswhere you're like literally
closing your eyes and you can.
You know they do a guidedmeditation, or you yourself can
close your eyes and do breathingand imagining from the head all

(04:31):
the way down to your toes in arelaxing or progressive
relaxation to help and aid in alot of things, and in this turn
we're talking about hormones.
Other ways you can do that andtechniques are yoga, you can do
breath work.
I have many videos and podcastson breathing techniques and then

(04:53):
just one very simple onecultivate positive emotions, you
know.
You can do.
Love and kindness, you know,and thoughts of compassion for
others and for yourself.
You know, especially now, whathappens is we're, we're just.
We struggle with being kind toourselves, especially when our
body is not maybe where we wantit to be or we don't feel where

(05:16):
we need to be, and that's quitedifficult.
You know that's verychallenging.
So the overview of this in withthe research, with GLP-1
receptor agonists and withmindfulness interventions.
The goal is promoting a balancedhormonal system.
Um, since there's so manyhormones within the female and

(05:38):
male health, insulin is also ahormone.
You know the GLP-1 regulatingthe glucose and glucagon.
So, and then talking about thehunger hormones, so all of it,
it plays a role, um, and thegoal is to build a better
metabolic health and weightmanagement for yourself.
Um, it will mimic that so youcan regulate what you need and

(06:02):
together, like these stressreduction strategies, will help
build a framework to help youhave a person with obesity to a
person that is managing yourobesity, a person that has
endocrine issues or reducinginflammatory processes within
the body, and whatever that isfor you.

(06:24):
You know, it is very importantto understand that these all
play a role in management ofyour weight, management of your
metabolic system and getting youto where you need to be.
I will have resources in thenotes and I also have many
podcasts on breathing andmeditations if you have any

(06:45):
questions to reach out at anytime, and I'll talk with you
soon on the next lesson.
