Brandon DaCruzGUEST
And that's a post-diet phase that I have formulated to be able to restore every knockdown effect of metabolic adaptation.
Brandon DaCruzGUEST
So not only on the energy expenditure side from a BMR, a TEF, an extra-lactivity thermogenesis and a neat perspective, but then also the hormones.
Brandon DaCruzGUEST
And that's where I do comprehensive lab work.
Brandon DaCruzGUEST
that I need to make sure my thyroid's back online, all my hormones.
Michele ScarletHOST
That's easy to measure, right? It's the calories out that has more nuance.
Michele ScarletHOST
you have a BMR, a basal metabolic rate.
Michele ScarletHOST
And that is the expenditure of energy just to keep you alive.
Michele ScarletHOST
That is your breathing.
Michele ScarletHOST
You can adjust here or there if those two things are accurate numbers, right? So that's the part of the equation that we need to know.
Michele ScarletHOST
A variable is accuracy.
Michele ScarletHOST
Now, here's what happens to your BMR when other factors come into play.
Michele ScarletHOST
When your hormones are imbalanced, when your blood sugar is a roller coaster, when your cortisol is a roller coaster, when your sex hormones are tanking or they're fluctuating.
Brandon DeCruzHOST
And that's a post-diet phase that I have formulated to be able to restore every knockdown effect of metabolic adaptation.
Brandon DeCruzHOST
So not only on the energy expenditure side from a BMR, a TEF, an exercise activity, thermogenesis, and a neat perspective, but then also the hormones.
Brandon DeCruzHOST
And that's where I do comprehensive lab work that I need to make sure my thyroid's back online, you know, all my hormones.
Brandon DeCruzHOST
And so I will take myself through that process.
Anna MarcolinHOST
And I went into her live and I said something about like, and I wanted to know.
Anna MarcolinHOST
I said, this is what my BMR is.
Anna MarcolinHOST
And she's like, no, is it my BMR or my RMR? Because I have both.
Anna MarcolinHOST
Oh, my BMR.
Anna MarcolinHOST
And she goes, that's not.
Anna MarcolinHOST
And she said to me, oh, hey, Anna.
Anna MarcolinHOST
I'm like, yes, it is.
Anna MarcolinHOST
She goes, where'd you get that done? I mean, there's like 200 people on that live.
Meridan ZernerGUEST
And because I'm a believer in holistic health where you want this team, you want these other practitioners supporting you because I may need somebody else to do a food sensitivity testing.
Meridan ZernerGUEST
Like I can offer the resting metabolic rate test, tells me exactly what your calorie burn is.
Meridan ZernerGUEST
Unique to you, very fun.
Meridan ZernerGUEST
At my booth today at this Modern Day Wife event, I can do somebody's in-body test, which tells me about your muscle mass and your body fat percentage.
Layne NortonHOST
Now, I found what was really curious about this study was they did not list the subject's body weights anywhere in the different groups.
Layne NortonHOST
Do you know how expensive it is to run a stable isotope, doubly-labeled water study over the course of a year where they're taking various measurements? They also took measurements of BMR.
Layne NortonHOST
They also took measurements of physical activity.
Layne NortonHOST
This study would have probably been... several hundred thousand dollars if not over a million dollars and you're telling me you couldn't afford to stick a scale under people's feet where is the body weight data why was that not reported because if they're really in a if they're really burning 400 more calories per day then they should be losing weight quite substantially so why wasn't it reported And you had to dig through the supplementary data in order to find the metabolic rate data.
Sten EkbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
How to increase metabolism.
Sten EkbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What is metabolism? What is BMR or basic metabolic rate? What are the factors that influence your BMR? Is it better to do calorie restriction or to do intermittent fasting if you want to improve your BMR? Your metabolism is directly linked to your ability to lose weight and even more importantly it is linked to your ability to keep the weight off once you've reached your goal weight.
Sten EkbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Today we're going to talk about all these factors and we're going to give you the big picture we make it crystal clear coming right up.
Sten EkbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Metabolism comes from a Greek word metabo which means to change so metabolism or basic metabolic rate is the rate that you're converting fuel sources like food into energy so the higher your metabolism the higher your basic metabolic rate the more energy you produce per day.
Sten EkbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
BMR or basic metabolic rate is how much energy are you expending, how many calories are you burning when you're not doing anything, when you're just sitting around and your body is just doing its thing.
Sten EkbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The BMR is about 70% of all the energy that you produce.
Sten EkbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And out of that 70%, we have the liver is using about 27%.
Sten EkbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Your brain is using 19%.
Lorna MarieHOST
And when we think of energy expenditure as a whole, it is comprised of a lot of different things.
Lorna MarieHOST
So it's comprised of your BMR, your basal metabolic rate.
Lorna MarieHOST
the amount of energy that it uses, that your body uses to help you stay alive, for you to breathe, for your muscles, like your heart to contract.
Lorna MarieHOST
That's your BNR.
Karen McCoyHOST
Everything now is about macros, tracking portions, weighing calorie counts, all that stuff.
Karen McCoyHOST
BMR.
Karen McCoyHOST
Okay, great.
Karen McCoyHOST
I understand that to a certain extent, guys.
NadineHOST
How do I know if I'm under or overfeeding myself?
Brittany GordonGUEST
I mean, you can go and check out like a BMR calendar calculator to get like a rough idea of what's going on.
Brittany GordonGUEST
Okay.
Brittany GordonGUEST
But most people, a lot of people that are like stuck in this might have like 21 plus days every now and again.
