0:02

I've been getting a ton

0:04

of questions from you guys, which I love by the

0:08

way, keep them coming,

0:16

on natural alternatives to weight

0:18

loss strokes like semiglutide and

0:20

trusepitide, better known as

0:22

osempic, wagovim, wongiardo, zepbounds, by now

0:25

you guys know the drill, right?

0:27

Natural alternatives to these drugs. Of

0:30

course there are guys, because what

0:33

these drugs are doing is essentially

0:35

mimicking hormones our

0:38

body already makes. And

0:41

I realize I've talked a lot

0:43

about how these drugs facilitate weight

0:45

loss and they do so by

0:47

facilitating our inclination to eat

0:49

less. I haven't talked

0:51

about how they do that and

0:53

they do that by curbing hunger,

0:55

by mimicking certain satiety hormones, hormones

0:57

that say yo, you're full, stop

0:59

eating. I don't necessarily say yo.

1:03

But you get it, you get what I'm saying. Okay,

1:05

so here's the real question we

1:07

should start asking is if

1:10

our body naturally makes these hormones,

1:12

why can 70% of us not stop eating? And

1:18

I want to make it very clear right off the

1:20

bat that if you go back even as

1:22

late as 1970s mid 1970s, a 5, 6, 7, 8,

1:25

9% of the American adult population was struggling

1:27

with being overweight

1:32

or obese. And then

1:35

there's been an exponential increase decade after

1:37

decade until now 70 to 75% of

1:40

American adults are overweight. Are

1:43

you telling me 70 to 75% of us have a disease? Are

1:47

they a little lazy? No, none of that

1:49

is true. You have to look at what

1:52

has gone on in our environment that

1:54

has so dramatically

1:57

impacted our body's ability to

1:59

regulate. are hunger. And

2:02

the answer is simple. It is

2:04

the absolute crap food that

2:07

we are surrounded with 24-7 in

2:09

conjunction with a lifestyle that's become

2:11

more sedentary because of modern day

2:14

conveniences in technology, we sit at desks all day

2:16

long, and are all spelled

2:18

probably lonelier than ever, more overwhelmed

2:20

than ever, more anxious than ever.

2:22

Things have not been easy in the

2:25

past decades. And we'll

2:27

hear that the bottom line is we

2:30

become psychologically hungry and physically addicted

2:32

to food that's designed to physically

2:34

addict us. I'm going to get

2:36

back to that in a second. Let's

2:38

look at different satiety hormones. Now

2:41

when we look at tools like semiglutide,

2:43

that is what's called a GLP1 agonist.

2:46

Long story short, it mimics a hormone,

2:48

an incretin hormone, that

2:50

functions in two different pathways. It

2:53

literally slows down digestion in the

2:55

gut, which is why you've seen

2:57

side effects like stomach paralysis and

2:59

intestinal blockage, because your

3:01

body is like, your gut gets

3:04

distended, you feel so full, you

3:06

are full because it's slowing

3:08

down your digestion. And it also acts

3:10

on a cluster of neurons in your

3:12

hypothalamus in the appetite center of your

3:14

brain to say, no more

3:16

food. Now, we as

3:18

human beings have evolved to be pretty

3:21

darn perfect. The problem is we're

3:23

screwing up the input. And what I mean

3:25

by that is we have a lot of

3:27

homeostatic mechanisms, meaning we

3:29

maintain our body temperature pretty

3:32

effectively, we should

3:34

be regulating our base metabolic

3:37

set point very effectively, our

3:39

body weight very effectively. For example, my body likes

3:41

to be about 115 pounds. When I get to

3:43

117, not so hungry. When I get to 112,

3:48

I'm starving. My body is saying Jillian, we

3:51

really want you up 115. Feels good here. This is

3:53

where you should be. Okay,

3:55

So here's the question, right? So Why

3:57

are all these homeostatic mechanisms to regulate

3:59

ab- The pay getting messed up. Will.

4:01

First, let's look at this Glp. One

4:04

for mode. And how do we

4:06

will He swarmed is naturally we

4:08

need spruces that are willing to

4:10

literally distend your that still optic

4:12

fiber. Fiber.

4:15

Or each sentence. Fruits.

4:18

And vegetables. Whole. Grains

4:20

been Slim Humes Fiber foods that

4:23

expand in our got and make

4:25

us. Feel nor for are going

4:27

to obese more T L P

4:29

One right to We. Are body is

4:32

supposed to do it. In mid dose

4:34

that all body is supposed to release it.

4:36

People. Get so sick. All. These

4:39

drones. I'm nauseous. And fawning up some

4:41

a crest because been job is

4:43

way higher than the do is

4:45

your body naturally mates. So.

4:48

All right, He's. Using I hate vegetables

4:50

and I'm nothing either. With a casa which

4:52

would you can cheat it with a fiber

4:54

supplement, this is not ideal. But. You

4:56

can. Then. Fact: If you go back

4:58

and you look at some of my. Older books will

5:00

find that I talk about taking a fiber

5:02

supplement. Before. Your bigger meals

5:05

state it could be launcher could beginner

5:07

but. One being glass of water we'd

5:09

let's say a scuba psyllium husk in it

5:11

and pick fifteen minutes before you eat. it's

5:13

can expanding her got is gonna impact or

5:16

so tidy. make a new less hungry thereby

5:18

eating less so know that heard a lot

5:20

about as a T called your of Amati

5:22

T. I'm ages you were in talks a

5:25

lot about this actually has up a whole show on

5:27

that. I'm simply going to

5:29

say avoid the slugs variety and

5:31

go with an organic Your Obama

5:33

takes. You have to drink. Is t

5:35

probably them out the day. To impacts your

5:37

hunger. And it's actually something. I had

5:40

a friend of mine. Mentioned

5:42

to me years ago on actor who used

5:44

to it utilize it throughout the day to

5:46

Kirby's older I never thought anything of it.

5:49

Until. Now. Shame. On me. Okay,

5:51

so too simple cheats rate that. Let's

5:53

talk about another steady Roman left and.

5:56

So. Slipped In has an inverse

5:58

relationship. with a hormone called. Grayland. Again,

6:02

I've written about this hormone multiple times and spoken

6:05

about it for years, interviewed newer ascendrochronologists

6:07

about it. I still don't know if I'm pronouncing

6:09

it right. That said, Grayland

6:12

is a hormone that makes us more

6:14

hungry. Leptin is a hormone

6:16

that makes us go more full. And they

6:18

have this sort of seesaw impact on one

6:21

another, right? So the key is

6:23

how do we keep our leptin levels high?

6:26

So we feel satiated, very simple answer

6:28

here. The most obvious is going to

6:30

be sleep. Sleep has a massive impact

6:32

on leptin. So the reality is

6:34

that if you're not sleeping and you notice the

6:37

next day, you just cannot seem, you cannot

6:39

seem to feel full. In fact, I actually had

6:42

to get up really early this morning

6:44

at like 3 30 for a press

6:46

hit in New York. That happened to

6:48

be in Los Angeles at the moment. And I

6:50

have already eaten twice today. It's like 10. So

6:54

point being sleep priorities are sleep,

6:56

it's going to help curb

6:58

and manage your hunger. Whereas if you don't sleep,

7:01

you're going to feel considerably more

7:03

hungry. Civil ones. There is this one

7:06

I'm having over time. And there is

7:08

data that suggests the more we exercise,

7:10

the more we can release leptin,

7:15

but I find the more exercise,

7:17

the hungrier I get. But it's

7:19

also because I don't have weight to lose. So

7:22

I'm gonna say focus on the sleep ones. That's

7:24

going to be the most effective. Okay, next.

7:27

When we eat protein and fat,

7:29

we release two more satiety

7:31

hormones, one's called peptide YY.

7:34

And you want to eat about

7:36

30% and adequate amount

7:38

of protein. This can be in some

7:40

cases, some people consider it a high protein depending on who

7:42

we get to talk to. But the bottom line is, let's

7:45

say 30% of your calories from

7:47

protein, you're going to help

7:49

curb your appetite and release more peptide

7:51

YY. This way, you'll see a

7:54

lot of different advice saying, eat more

7:56

protein in your diet because it's going to help

7:59

improve satiety. This is where the

8:01

mechanisms has to have plus it does digest

8:03

more slowly in the body think of

8:05

it like Putting a log

8:07

on the fire. Whereas when you

8:09

put you know white bread White

8:13

toast with jam-ordered like a tissue paper. It

8:15

just burns right up. It'll get

8:17

to him second That's that.

8:19

Okay and healthy fats are

8:21

also going to release peptide YY

8:24

and another hormone called CCK cholocystic

8:27

canine kinin Anyway,

8:30

long story short This one also

8:32

is a satiety hormone and again, they

8:34

act on different mechanisms the gut the

8:37

hypothalamus But the bottom line is you

8:39

could increase These satiety

8:41

hormones by utilizing common sense and eating the

8:43

way your body was designed to eat and

8:45

getting your sleep fiber

8:49

Protein 30% in every single

8:52

meal hydrate yourself as well That's gonna

8:54

help significantly because when you drink big glass water,

8:56

it's gonna help you feel full Honestly, just literally

8:58

going to help you feel fuller But plus hydration

9:00

has been shown to help curb appetite a little

9:02

bit and try the sea try

9:04

the Yorba matey Tea now

9:07

when you look at all this other crap that we

9:09

are eating It has

9:11

been just signed To

9:14

make you a whole greer not more satiated. So

9:16

to give you an example when

9:18

you go to a ball game or a 7-eleven

9:23

and you get a big goal, right

9:25

and you pound 500 calories of

9:28

soda There's no fiber in

9:30

that. There's no protein in that there are no healthy

9:32

fats in that That

9:34

has zero impact on your

9:36

body's ability to recognize fullness

9:38

because it's not food Soda

9:41

does not grow out in the wild. It does not

9:43

have a mother and it did not come from a

9:45

plant I mean this is I mean no

9:48

recognizable plant So the

9:50

bottom line is we end up

9:52

consuming that we have a zero feelings of

9:54

satiety and quite honestly The way

9:57

it impacts our insulin probably

10:00

are going to feel still hungry and

10:02

crave more food. It's designed to make

10:04

you keep... You can't eat just one.

10:08

So the long and the short of it

10:10

is if you treat your body the way

10:12

it has been involved to be treated and

10:15

you feed it the way it's evolved to

10:17

be fed, it

10:19

will release these hormones the way

10:21

that it has been designed to,

10:24

to help you regulate appetite. If

10:27

there's more going on in that

10:29

psychological, like stress, coping

10:31

mechanisms, defense structures, comfort, all these

10:33

different things that food can provide

10:36

us, this is about

10:38

support guys. Check out a community,

10:41

look into some counseling. This is a

10:43

bigger picture than a drug can put

10:45

a band-aid on but not fix long

10:47

term. And the last thing I'm going to say

10:49

about this, and I know I've already gone quite some time, almost

10:51

11 minutes, is that

10:54

even in our perfect world, let's say you

10:56

have no negative side effects on these drugs,

10:58

ultimately our bodies adapt

11:01

to these drugs. And

11:03

this is because it's the same way we

11:05

can become lacto-resistant and insulin-resistant. We're

11:07

giving the body high doses of these

11:10

hormones, testosterone, guys stop taking testosterone,

11:12

you see what happens if they've been

11:14

supplementing it exodulously, meaning from the outside in. So

11:18

we plateau, look into

11:20

it, and they're like, well,

11:22

when you do, we're going to do another

11:24

drug that blocks another satiety of llama, and

11:27

now we're working on these King Kong drugs

11:29

that will block free satiety llamas, and then

11:31

we're going to up the door, like at

11:33

some point there's a wall. There

11:35

just is, there's a wall. I don't

11:38

even know what these drugs look like in the long

11:40

term, and the reason, I don't know, it's because no

11:42

doctor has managed to tell me the answers to that

11:44

question. So the information that

11:46

I give you guys, these are not

11:49

my opinions. I strongly encourage you to

11:51

look into what I'm saying yourself, because

11:54

it's all fact based. There are

11:56

numerous studies backing up every single

11:58

thing I'm saying. yourself

12:00

do your own homework and this way you can

12:02

make the best decisions for it. Hey
