To use exercise to trigger fat-burning hormones, it is important to discuss the variables of exercise:
1) Intensity (the power behind the exercise) and difficulty
2) Frequency
3) Duration (total time of exercise)
4) Type
5) Rest (The goal is to use exercise strategically to maximize and keep your body in fat burning and minimize fat-making stress hormones.)
Today we will discuss 3 -5: Duration, Type, and Rest.
Duration
The actual duration of exercise is also key. If you are being intense and doing it for a long time, you will automatically nullify fat-burning …

There is not a cell in your body that can stay alive without Vitamin E. Vitamin E has many healing properties including creating sex hormones. When a female goes through menopause she loses 100x her vitamin E because the storage of vitamin E is in the pituitary gland. This happens when the ovaries stop releasing eggs at age 52 and presents itself in a lack of sex drive, dry skin along with hair and weight gain due to a shift in hormones. Don’t ever take synthetic vitamin E because it …

A normal amount of sleep should be 7-8 hours per night. Each time you sleep, hormones are activated to rejuvenate and repair your cells and assist in fat burning.

One of the main functions of the adrenal glands is countering stress by the production of several hormones. The adrenals don’t know the difference between physical and mental stress — they treat both with the same stress hormones.
The adrenals can overwork and underwork. Depending on the state they are in, you will experience different symptoms. I have frequently observed that a person will start with their adrenals in overdrive due to stress, then burn them out into an underworking adrenal situation. But it’s not always that cut and dried, as …

Removing toxins from the entire body allows the glands and organs to function at an optimal level. With fewer toxins, more nutrients can be absorbed. Toxins have the ability to mimic hormones and alter body functions. Revivatox works on all body types (all different types of toxic build-up). It was formulated to help remove these toxins that can block absorption of the vital nutrients required for each type to regain health and balance, in order to engage natural, healthy fat burning and weight loss.

When the body is over-stressed, getting sleep becomes a difficult feat. What most people don’t know is how important the sleep role is when it comes to losing weight and burning fat, and how essential sleep actually is in maintaining overall health. The adrenal body type has sleeping problems due to the ‘stress factor’. As these people store more and more stressed, sleep is lighter and lighter. The solution is to repair the hormone imbalance that is created, which is causing the excess stress, and restore …

I get lots of questions on exactly what the endocrine system is and how it works; so, in this letter, I’d like to cover this.
The body has two main coordination systems. Coordination just means getting things aligned and working together. The first is the nervous system and the second is the endocrine system.
The nervous system carries information fast, at roughly 280 mph. Think of it as a network of telephone wires that go through an area.
The endocrine system isn’t as fast as the nervous system. Think of it …
