There are 3 major metabolic testing panels everyone should have, do you know what they
are? Welcome to Video 2 of 3 in the Breaking Free from Metabolic Damage Video Course. Today
we are going to give you all the tools necessary to pinpoint exactly where your metabolism
problems are coming from, including what tests to run, and also the step by step process
we use to repair metabolic damage. Welcome back everyone, at this point we have
clearly identified that metabolic damage and metabolism breakdowns are at the root of weight
loss resistance, poor energy, low thyroid and a long list of other hormone related symptoms.
Weʼve even given you a metabolic damage self survey to help you identify if you have symptoms
of metabolic damage. Today we are going to take that one step further, show you the way
to pinpoint what your exact metabolic problem areas are, and a step by step process to reversing
metabolic Damage. If this is you, if you canʼt lose weight
no matter what you try, you have some or many of the symptoms of metabolic damage, listen
up as today is the first day you begin to get better. No matter what you have tried
in the past, no matter how many diets or exercise programs, and no matter how helpless you feel,
today is the day you begin to get your health back, because today is the day you learn a
proven, step by step process to reversing metabolic damage.
Thatʼs right today you are going to learn the exact process we have used with hundreds
of patients, just like yourself, to help them reverse metabolic damage and regain their
energy, a normal weight, and hormone balance. More importantly this system creates certainty.
Imagine what it would feel like to know exactly what was causing your weight loss problems
and your health concerns, and having a systematic approach to fix all those problems.
Without any further introduction letʼs go over the step-by-step system for Overcoming
Metabolic damage. The system is best remembered through the
acronym FIX RATE, (Standing for Fix your metabolic Rate, which is another word for metabolism).
each letter representing a crucial step. Their meanings are Freeze, Identify Metabolic Breakdowns,
Execute Customized Plan, Repair Unique Metabolic Breakdowns, Adrenal Optimization, Thyroid
Optimization, and Endocrine Optimization. So letʼs take you through the steps.
The first thing to do is to FREEZE! Donʼt change anything with your diet or exercise.
You are extremely metabolically fragile at this point. What we mean by fragile, is that
even well intentioned changes in your diet or exercise can result in further damage,
or, tremendously rapid weight gain. The rules you know about diet and exercise no longer
apply when you have metabolic damage. Eating less and exercising more will cause more problems.
On the other hand eating more and exercising less can create tremendously rapid weight
gain if not done correctly. So Freeze. The next step is to identify Metabolism Breakdowns
by having comprehensive Metabolic Testing Completed. Specifically you need to test and
get a detailed look at all areas of metabolism, all hormones and organ systems. The correct
metabolic tests will very clearly show what is going wrong and creating your problems.
The most common mistake people make is assuming they have had metabolism testing completed
because they have been to a medical doctor. You see most medical providers will not run
tests that are looking at metabolic function, they primarily are looking for diseases that
are treatable with drugs or surgery. Therefore, most people never have proper metabolic tests
even if they have had many years of care and tests from their Medical Doctor.
As a general overview we recommend blood, saliva, and stool testing that evaluates Adrenal
function, thyroid levels, hormone levels both male and female, liver function, blood sugar
control, overall inflammation, intestinal bacterial and fungal infections, absorption
and digestion of foods, and more. Now that you have the proper Metabolic Damage
test recommendations in hand, where and how do you get these tests completed? One method
to getting the correct tests completed would be to track down an experienced medical provider
in your area that will run these tests for you, this can prove difficult and time consuming
as these types of doctors are very few and far in between.... or, in our next video weʼll
provide you with an opportunity to get all your tests completed, and analyzed, in a stress
free manner all in one place. I cannot understate how important testing
and proper analysis of metabolism is to your recovery. You can think of your body as a
complex machine much like a car. There are many moving parts and systems that work together
to make the machine run. When something goes wrong with a car, you donʼt randomly start
replacing parts and hope the car is going to fix itself, that would be ridiculous. No,
you take your car into a shop where they run diagnostics and tests to find the problem
first, and then fix whatʼs wrong. You should think of your body in the same way, randomly
trying diets and exercise plans is the same as popping the hood of your car and randomly
changing parts... itʼs not going to work. You need to have the proper diagnosis completed
first. Donʼt skip this step or youʼll regret it.
The next step is to eXecute a customized plan. Metabolic breakdowns and underlying problems
will differ from person to person... In order to get your body back on track youʼll need
2 things. A plan that takes into account your test results, and an organized plan of attack
that takes diet, exercise, AND Metabolism into account. You cannot beat metabolic damage
with the latest diet craze, you need an organized plan.
In laying out your metabolic recovery and repair program, the order in which you tackle
problems is also important and consists of the last 4 steps of FIX RATE.
Your program should consist first of repairing unique metabolic breakdowns first. Frequently
these were the beginning problems that created the domino effect to full blown metabolic
damage to begin with. If you donʼt fix these problems first, you will not recover. These
problems will again be identified by your lab test results.... Some common examples
of unique metabolic breakdowns are: Fungal and candida infections, global inflammation
that slows down all hormone function, hormonal imbalance during the menstrual cycle or menopause,
Food sensitivities and intolerance, and chemical overload of the liver.
Once these breakdowns are corrected the next steps you take are to optimize all hormone
and organ systems involved in metabolism. First we start with Adrenal Health. The adrenal
glands sit on top of the kidneys and monitor and control the bodyʼs stress response. In
order to optimize adrenal function you must consider all areas of potential stress on
the body. Some tips to optimizing adrenal function involve: removing food sensitivities,
timing your meals correctly, using adrenal adaptogens to enhance function, finding the
correct carbohydrate level for you, resting adequately, and not overtraining in the gym.
Next we move on to optimizing thyroid health. The thyroid is responsible for your fat burning
capabilities, and your energy levels. It is also a very environmentally sensitive organ.
The key to optimizing thyroid health lies in reducing chemical exposure through detoxification,
avoiding common anti-thyroid foods including goitrogens, eating adequate levels of carbohydrate,
supplementing with thyroid micronutrients, and removing any negative signals coming in
from other areas of metabolism. And lastly we have optimizing the endocrine
system as a whole. This would include balancing male and female hormones, the anterior pituitary-or
brain, the hormone leptin, and insulin. Keys to optimizing endocrine function involve eating
the correct amount of dietary fat, using refeeds-or periodic increases in food intake to keep
leptin and hence metabolism high, balancing the ratio of estrogen to progesterone, regulating
the menstrual cycle, and supporting natural production of testosterone.
Now that completes the FIX RATE system and the most effective approach to overcoming
metabolic damage around. By the end of this process you will be well on your way to restoring
fat burning capability, dramatically increasing your energy levels, and ditching low thyroid
symptoms. What many of you may have noticed is that
the FIX RATE system is logical, based in known metabolism principles, but it is also very
thorough in nature. Of course it must be, as the only way you are going to overcome
a complex disorder is with a thorough approach. Now for those of you who are wondering, but
how do I do all of this? Iʼm not an expert in metabolism or health. I donʼt know the
exact steps necessary to support adrenal health or balance the thyroid, or read lab work.
I want to fix my metabolism, but where do I start?
The great news is that you donʼt have to be an expert. From getting easy access to
the very best of metabolism testing all the way through completing a customized Metabolism
Repair Program. All of this information and the systems involved have already been put
together for you in an easy to follow format that holds your hand and guides you every
step of the way. No expertise, or special knowledge required whatsoever.
Now make absolute certain you check your email inbox in the next few days. In the next video
we are going to show you how you can easily get the tests you need, the answers you are
looking for, and the expertise and guidance all-in-one package to beat Metabolic Damage.
