Hi. I'm Dr. Zyrowski and I'm gonna teach you how to fix a slow metabolism.
If you're new to the channel and you want to excel your health and your life, be
sure to subscribe and hit the little bell notification and you'll be well on
your way. So in this video we're talking about how to fix a slow metabolism. This
is a problem that so many people face and there's so many people out there who
feel that every time they take a bite of food they're just starting to gain more
weight and if they come even the slightest bit off a strict diet that
they're following they start to gain more weight. And it's because they have a
sluggish metabolism. Now one of the things that's important about your
metabolism is, you know, when we look at the basic physiology of it, it's all
about a hormone called insulin and when insulin is present we cannot burn fat, we
cannot cut that fat off, that extra fat off our body so that we can start to
lean up. So we want to make sure that we're keeping insulin levels low. That's
the key to fixing your metabolism. So this whole video is really going to be
talking about how we can go in and keep insulin levels low to boost your
metabolism. So let's go ahead and jump right into all the things you need to
know in order to fix your metabolism. Now the
first big one is stop dieting. Now the reason that so many people have a
sluggish metabolism is because they're following crazy strict diets that go and
put them in huge calorie deficits that wrecks their metabolism. In order to lose
weight we need to come in as a calorie deficit but we want to come in at a
minor calorie deficit, not huge massive calorie deficits that are just
destroying your metabolism. When we look at people who follow these big
huge calorie deficit diets, they lose a ton of weight but the problem is they
gain it all back. The show of The Biggest Loser is an absolute prime example of
this. All these people lost all this weight in the short period of time but
then what happened is that after the show they gained it all back and some. So
make sure that you're you're following a good quality sustainable diet and not
coming in at a huge calorie deficit because that is what is going to destroy
your metabolism. So stop dieting and follow a good quality nutrition plan. Our
heal yourself cookbook, the one that my wife and I wrote actually teaches you
how to do this. It's a
nutrition plan that is based on 50% good fats, 40% protein, and 10% carbohydrates.
This is a nutrition plan that is anti-inflammatory. It is able to help
balance your hormones. It helps detox the body and it helps heal. And the best part
about it is it's sustainable for a lifetime. It's something that you can
just stay on and your body is just becoming healthier and healthier because
you're following a nutrition plan that is constantly
healing the body. So this nutrition plan is sustainable and it's going to help
you lose weight and boost your metabolism. Now the next big thing that
we want to talk about is good fats. You want to increase good fats and I'll tell
you why. So first of all, good fats are very sustainable. They give you a good
source of energy and the other reason that they're great is because they don't
raise insulin levels hardly at all. They don't raise blood sugar hardly at all.
And so when we look at these different good fats, it's important to eat a lot of
them in order to actually feel good and fix your metabolism. Now the other thing
that's important to mention about good fats is so many people have heard that
fat will make you fat and not only is this unfortunate because I think this
has caused neurological damage in so many people who have taken fat out of
their diet for years. I think this is where a lot of these neurological
conditions are coming from, amongst other things of course. But the other reason
that it's unfortunate is because people have been given such a terrible
misinformation that is causing them to become fat and here's why. When we look
at fats, I said they barely raise insulin levels, but the other thing that they do
is they actually buffer the insulin levels and keep them low so if we eat an
egg, for instance, if we take the egg yolk out of it, it's going to increase our
insulin levels much higher. So all these people eating egg whites in order to
stay lean, they're not doing themself any service. And then the same thing goes
with yogurt for instance. If you take the fat out of yogurt and then essentially
what will happen with that too is that you take that buffer out and you're
getting a massive amount of protein that's going to increase your insulin
levels and also increase your blood sugar. So nature has a good way of
knowing that we need fat within the food that we're eating
and that's why it's like that. So when we start isolating the different components
of it, it doesn't do us any good. So increase your good fats in order to fix
your metabolism and leave those good fats in your foods because it keeps the
insulin levels and blood sugar levels lower. Next big one is apple cider
vinegar. So you've probably heard me talk about this a lot, but you can take a
teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, put it into a cup of water and drink that
before every meal and it's going to help keep your blood sugar low and keep your
insulin levels low. So use apple cider vinegar as a tool to help fix your
metabolism. Next big thing that we need to do is we need to decrease cortisol.
Cortisol is a stress hormone that comes from the the terrible lifestyle that
most people are living. Just stressed out all the time, not getting enough sleep.
You know, pushing themselves to the max and when we have a high amount of
cortisol, it does some really bad things for us. First of all it likes to store
fat. It also likes to dump a lot of blood sugar into our sugar, into our
bloodstream. It likes to increase insulin levels. It also likes to increase
visceral fat. It also likes to increase inflammation and it also likes to
actually go and start to break down our muscle. When we break down our muscle it's
breaking our muscle down into sugar which is increasing our insulin and also
increasing our blood sugar levels. And so we have to decrease cortisol. For people
who have high amounts of cortisol. And when I work with my different clients
what I'll do is I'll have them take our adrenal revive formula on an empty
stomach in the morning and then it'll help start to balance that cortisol
throughout the day. So make sure you're working to decrease cortisol and
decrease stress. Next big one is sleep. So sleep is a time when our body kind of
resets. Our hormones balance and most people are not getting enough sleep at
night. So whether you have a hard time falling asleep or you have a problem
with waking up in the middle of the night. If you can identify those issues
and start making some changes it'll be very important to fixing your metabolism.
Because if your hormones aren't resetting, they aren't rebalancing and
you're not getting enough sleep, you're not only going to increase your cortisol
levels, but your your body just isn't going to function as it should. So make
sure you're getting adequate amounts of sleep at night.
Last if, not least, I'm going to share a bonus tip with you. So intermittent
fasting is a huge way to help fix your metabolism as well. And the reason that
it works so well is because what it essentially does is it keeps your
insulin levels very low for a long period of your day.
So intermittent fast, an example of it, would be too fast for 16 hours and then
eat your meals within an 8 hour period. During those 16 hours of fasting your
insulin levels are gonna stay completely low. And then what you would I recommend
with intermittent fasting is you have two big meals. You have a big meal at
lunch and you have a big meal at dinner. But you don't go in graze in between.
Because what you want to do is you want to have that big meal and then go back
into that fasted state and then have that big next big meal and then go back
into that fasted state. And that keeps your insulin levels low at all times
and once again, intermittent fasting is not about calorie deficits it's also not
about eating less food. It's just about being strategic in the way that you're
eating food. And of course I recommend eating a high quality diet while
intermittent fasting. As a matter of fact I have a super powerful video that
teaches you all the ins and outs of intermittent fasting and so definitely
check that out. So if you want to fix your metabolism, go ahead and incorporate
these things into your lifestyle. They're going to be absolutely huge game changer
going to be a huge game-changer. And if you have any questions go ahead and post
