2:36 A few things you can do 

Today we’re going to talk about rancid oil and your gut health.

What is rancid oil?
This is the incomplete or complete oxidation of fat or oil. Fats and oils have antioxidants to protect from this oxidation. But, if it has been exposed to light, oxygen, heat, or processing, the antioxidants can start to be destroyed, causing the oils to break down. 

This can especially happen to unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids don’t typically turn rancid because they’re more preserved. 

A few oils/fats that are more susceptible to becoming rancid:

• Soy oil 
• Corn oil 
• Canola oil 
• Olive oil
• Nuts

Signs that that fats or oil is rancid is if it smells or tastes:

• Musty 
• Sour 
• Bitter
• Metallic 

It can actually be toxic to your cells or genes to consume rancid oil or rancid fats in somewhat large amounts. But, even a small amount can irritate certain parts of the body. Your gut health can especially become affected. The rancid oil or rancid fat can cause a lot of inflammation in the body as well as free radical damage. 

So many people are actually consuming large amounts of rancid oil without even knowing it. If you eat at a restaurant, and afterward, you feel a little sick or bloated, it could be because of rancid oil. 

A few things you can do:

• Buy fresh nuts 
• Refrigerate and germinate the nuts 
• Don’t consume soy, corn, or canola oil (GMO)
• Buy fresh olive oil

Vitamin D and Weight Loss:

2:31 Vitamin D and insulin
3:23 The summary 

I recently did a video on why vitamin D can help you lose weight. Today, we’re going to talk about the reverse of that. This is a complex subject, but I’m going to try to make it really simple. 

Basically, we’re talking about how much fat you have on your body, and you’re vitamin D levels.

There are two things you need to know:

1. The fatter you are, the less vitamin D you’re going to have.

2. When you lose weight, you increase your vitamin D level. 

Why do your vitamin D levels go up when you lose weight?
There is a relationship between body fat and vitamin D. A lack of vitamin D can increase weight. But, the missing piece of the puzzle is insulin and insulin resistance. 

Insulin resistance causes your body to store fat and prevents fat burning. It’s also behind type 2 diabetes. Insulin causes pre-fat cells to turn into fat. Insulin and insulin resistance increase fat. The more fat you have, the more insulin and insulin resistance you’re going to have.  

When you take vitamin D, you actually lower insulin and improve insulin resistance. This is why it’s so essential for people who have prediabetes, diabetes, or insulin resistance to take vitamin D.

The reason why your fat cells determine your vitamin D levels really has to do with this: 
• The more fat you have, the more insulin you have. The more insulin you have, the more insulin resistance you have.
• When you lose weight, and you have less weight on your body, you’re going to have less insulin, less insulin resistance, and more vitamin D.

0:33 How the adrenal glands work

1:52 Cushing’s syndrome symptoms
3:25 Can adrenal fatigue actually cause you to gain weight?
4:54 Why does adrenal fatigue cause weight gain?
5:42 How does adrenal fatigue cause weight gain?
7:55 How can you fix the problem?

In this video, let’s talk about adrenal fatigue. The question I want to answer is this: can adrenal fatigue cause you to gain weight?

The first thing you need to know is that the medical profession does not acknowledge adrenal fatigue as a medical problem. They just don’t recognize it.

There’s a condition called Cushing’s syndrome, which is characterized by high cortisol or hypercortisolism. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone, and the adrenal glands are responsible for creating it.

The thing is, you don’t just wake up with this Cushing’s. It gradually starts and gets worse it worse. The starting point is adrenal fatigue—the same way that prediabetes happens before type II diabetes.

With a full-blown Cushing’s syndrome case, you can see these symptoms:
• Visceral fat
• High blood pressure
• Round face
• Red cheeks
• Fatigue
• Anxiety
• Buffalo hump
• Fat-collar bone
• Thin skin
• Decreased libido
• Hypokalemia
• Low vitamin D
• Insomnia

However, people with adrenal fatigue can also experience these symptoms, but they may not be quite as severe.

Let’s get back to the question, “Can adrenal fatigue cause weight gain?”

It really depends on how chronic it is. If you have an issue with chronic stress, as opposed to only having occasional stress events, then you can definitely have some weight gain. It also depends on the diet. If you have a bad diet and you have chronic stress, the situation is going to be far worse.

Why does cortisol cause weight gain? The purpose of cortisol is to increase your energy in stressful situations, like being chased by a tiger. However, when that energy (which is sugar in this case) isn’t being used—like those who work at a desk—it gets stored as fat. Even worse, cortisol converts your muscle into sugar, which can reduce your muscle mass.

Cortisol also has another function. Along with creating fat, it prevents the burning of fat. This means that you’ll have a hard time to get into ketosis.

The key is to start by figuring out where the stress is coming from. Then, you can work towards lowering it. Next, start on Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting. Finally, make sure you are getting plenty of vitamin D, vitamin C, and potassium.
