The Adrenal Body Type - - Dr. Eric Berg

Uploaded on 1 Aug 2010

http://www.findyourbodytype.com If you have an adrenal body type, you know that you are faced with two main opponents to your well being: getting a good night's sleep due to restlessness, and food cravings. Both of these opponents are due to your body being exposed to stress too much, and because of this, you are always after energy, preferably natural, but you'll take whatever comes your way: coffee, energy drinks, and chocolate, to name a few. This leads to having a hard time sleeping regular hours.

When your body can't handle stress, it creates an increase of the hormone cortisol. The nature of Cortisol is to help you survive and handle stress. Excess cortisol causes belly fat because "Fat" to the body, is "potential energy." Belly fat accumulates as energy "reserves". Your body works in this cycle: the more stress, the more cortisol and consequntly, the more energy reserves. This results in more fat storage. You have the most challenging body type because of this imbalance.

Take a look around and you'll notice something interesting about people's bodies - most of them fall into 4 shapes. To find your body type take this short survey at http://www.drberg.com

Orgasm health protective - floods the body hormones oxytocin and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)

Sexual activity seems to have a
protective effect on men's health

Skeptics will tell you that these studies don't actually prove that people live longer because of sex. Maybe healthier people have more orgasms, instead of the other way around. Science makes a strong case that good marriages improve men's longevity. Studies are demonstrating that there are longevity health benefits to sex, but we can't say there's a definite cause and effect.

The Orgasm

An orgasm is a major neurological and physiological event. The bloodstream is flooded with hormones such as oxytocin and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). At its height just a few minutes after ejaculation, oxytocin may increase bonding, leading people to fall in love, but it also reduces stress and brings on sleep. DHEA is actually a steroid and has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack in middle-aged men. Both hormones have been shown to reduce depression.

Sex, even as little as once or twice a week, also increases immunoglobulin levels – the stuff in your blood that fights infection and disease – as much as 30 percent higher than in those who abstain.
Interestingly, most orgasm studies blur the line between sex and masturbation, referencing both as "sexual expression." Masturbation is, at the very least, a good supplement to monogamous sex, and prostate cancer rates have been proven to directly correlate to frequency of ejaculation. Scientists say ejaculating at least four times a week can reduce one's risk by up to 30 percent.

Although 700 orgasms per year is unrealistic for most of us, research suggests that two to three orgasms a week will still yield benefits. And yet another study has shown that those having sex three times a week on average appear seven to 12 years younger than their actual ages. Remember that before your next high school reunion.

More carbs bring 120% more testosterone

Matt Stone - discusses the impact of low carb on testosterone production and how increasing carbs improves metabolism and testosterone production, by 120% in one case study: 180 Degree Health: Natural Testosterone Enhancement

Extract:

Martin spent a year or so on a zero carb diet. Without carbohydrates, the body has an extremely hard time converting thyroid hormones into the active thyroid hormone T3 (not referencing a Schwarzeneggar film here). Metabolism plummets, especially after the initial honeymoon period when the adrenals are still temporarily strong enough to prop up the metabolic rate, and testosterone falls with it.

   Blood testing in the Morning vs the Night.

   So my doctor just called and wants me to re-do all of my blood work. Reason is I had blood drawn at 6:40PM. The test came back as low.
   
   Is there a major difference between testing in the AM and the PM?
   
   The doctor kept saying that my scores were in range for having the blood drawn in the PM. So I asked the obvious questions, "How much does your test drop an hour" "What is the range for PM testing" "Why does it change" I didn't get any real answers..
   
   Does it make that big of a difference? I am not sure what I am even looking at here.... Will those test come back "Normal" at 8:00 AM?
   
   
   TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL LC,MS,MS 212 Reference range: 250 to 1100
   Free Testosterone 37.0 Reference range: 46.0 to 224.0
   Testosterone, Bioavailable 74.4 Reference range: 110.0 to 575.0

   Your T levels are generally highest in the morning. You should get your blood drawn first thing in the morning.
   
   Regardless of what time you did the first test, it is standard protocol to get a second lab test done when the first one comes in low to confirm the result. Make sure you also check your LH, FSH, Prolactin, Vitamin D, Thyroid panel. Maybe a few others I am forgetting right now.

   I did have the rest of that done - it all tested positive - about 5 pages of results, including a sleep study
   I guess my question, is "Oh you are a 800 in the morning but 212 by the afternoon" common? I feel like there would have to be something else very wrong there.

   your T is probably low, sure. but you still need to get it redrawn in the morning - you need a 'correct' baseline drawn at the generally accepted time - the morning. plus, a 2nd draw never hurts.

   True. Very unlikely you are going to be 800 in the morning and 212 in the afternoon. It should be a little higher though. But I wouldn't get too worked up about having to get it retested since it is normal to confirm the first low result. Let us know where it comes in.

   Just to maybe clarify - I am terrified of going on any treatment. I hate needles, I don't think the creams seem too healthy. I would rather have a high number. But I feel like shit every day, it sucks. And I am at the point where I need to change.
   
   I think my doctor is an absolute idiot.

   I read (I think it was in Vergas book) that the older you are the more the difference between T in the AM and PM narrows... for someone my age (49) the difference is pretty small.
   
   FWIW I hated needles all my life too... almost scary how easy it was to get over that. That said, don't jump into anything - research and take your time.

   He probably is when it comes to male hormone replacement. You might see a rise of 50-100 points, which might give him a way out of treating you for low testosterone. A GOOD doctor will go by how you feel, not by some number. Most are scared of needles, but trust me - when you see how much better you feel having proper levels of hormones in your body, you look forward to those injects! Feeling better or staying off the hormones, the choice is yours friend.
