Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Hey, it's. Hey, it's me.

Hey, it's me again. In this video, we're going to talk about flabby skin, whether it's in the

back of your arms underneath your chin or your legs or your butt or your or your butt or your hips.

Let's cover what's underneath that.

Now in the past video I've talked about cortisol

which is an adrenal hormone being the root cause of loose skin underneath your arm.

But there's another very common cause and that has to do with this one hormone called

insulin, okay, but it's really a condition of insulin resistance, but let me just explain

what that means.

Insulin resistance is a condition where you have a ton of insulin, but it's not working because your body is resisting at the

cellular level. All right? Now you need insulin. You definitely you cannot live

without it but the problem is we have too much of it because there are a diet

So it's like sugars and things like that but check this out your cells have a little window that allows insulin to drive fuel in the cells, but also

insulin is one of the main hormones that drives amino acid into the cells. It's the hormone that allows the absorption of

protein specifically branched amino acids. Now what is branched

amino acids? Now you see this a lot of times in people that

are exercising weightlifter because branched amino acids are specifically

good to repair and replenish lost muscle.

Okay, so if you're losing muscle, you're atrophying,

you would want branched amino acids.

But the problem is, the insulin is not working to pull those amino acids into the cell because you could have insulin

resistance.
