Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Hey guys, it's Dr. Berg here.

I wanted to create a video on what to do to actually handle this skin problem here and here.

There are things you can do, but there's some mistakes that people make.

The first thing you need to know is that hormonally at age 38 things start shifting in the body.

Now, over a period of a few more years, when you hit 50, now things really bottom out.

So during the menopause time period, which is actually 52, but it can happen like 48,

it can happen 56, hormonally the ovaries stop working.

Okay, so there's a backup organ and the backup organ is the adrenals on top of the kidney.

You have two of them and so you have this huge shift from ovarian hormones to adrenal hormones.

Okay, if there's any problem with those adrenals before menopause, everything is magnified.

You get hot flashes, you have bone loss, you have a lot of loose skin, things like that.

But really, this is a loss of collagen, okay?

And that comes from a loss of certain hormones.

So I'm going to explain what hormones.

All of these hormones decrease during menopause, testosterone, which is more lean body mass,

DHEA, that's an anti-stress hormone.

That's kind of like a pre-hormone that gives you all the other hormones.

And it's made by the adrenal gland.

And then you have estrogen that goes down and estrogen controls the fertility and the

menstrual cycle and all that.
