In this video, we’re going to talk about the hormones that affect fat burning and fat storage. Insulin is one of the most important hormones related to fat burning. It’s produced in the pancreas and tells your body to store fat.
You can not burn fat if insulin is too high. Aim for less than 50 grams of carbs per day to avoid spiking insulin. Intermittent fasting can also help prevent insulin spikes.
Seed oils and modified food starches like MSG trigger insulin and inflammation and should be avoided.
To help lower insulin, do the following:
1. Lower your carbohydrate intake
2. Do intermittent fasting
3. Drink apple cider vinegar with water
4. Consume berberine and cinnamon
Estrogen and cortisol can also cause your body to store fat. To lower estrogen, avoid synthetic hormones and chemicals in your environment. Choose organic foods to avoid pesticides and herbicides that mimic estrogen in the body.
To minimize cortisol, focus on stress reduction. Physical activity like housework, long walks, or exercise can get your mind off of stress. Vitamin B1 and vitamin D are also very important for keeping cortisol levels low.
Growth hormone and IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1) are the main hormones involved in fat burning. Intense exercise, good sleep habits, moderate protein intake, and intermittent fasting trigger growth hormone and IGF-1. Sprinting is one of the best workouts to trigger these hormones to burn fat.
Testosterone, glucagon, thyroid hormone (T3), and adrenaline are also important for fat-burning. To boost testosterone naturally, ensure that you’re consuming foods high in zinc and make sure you’re getting enough cholesterol.
Exercise is important, but only contributes to about 15% of your overall weight loss. Exercise can lower stress, improve sleep, and also trigger glucagon and adrenaline.

How many times did you eat per day
So much value in packed in a 10 minute video. thanks Dr Berg.
00:53 🔄 Insulin is a key hormone for fat storage; lowering insulin is crucial for effective fat burning.
02:30 🍽 Fiber-rich foods, like green vegetables, have minimal impact on insulin; aim for less than 50g of carbs per day.
03:10 🚫 Seed oils, MSG, and frequent eating can elevate insulin levels; be cautious about restaurant meals.
04:21 🌸 Estrogen can contribute to weight gain; avoid estrogen-mimicking substances and opt for organic choices.
04:33 ⚖ Cortisol, the stress hormone, directs fat to the midsection; manage stress, consider vitamin D, and engage in physical activities.
06:08 🍎 To lower insulin, reduce carbs, practice intermittent fasting, include apple cider vinegar, berberine, and cinnamon in your routine.
07:15 🏋 Growth hormone and IGF-1 aid fat burning; prioritize intense exercise, good sleep, moderate protein, and intermittent fasting.
07:55 🥩 Zinc and cholesterol-rich foods support testosterone production; low saturated fat diets may affect testosterone levels.
08:22 💪 Glucagon, a fat-burning hormone, is triggered by moderate protein intake and intense exercise.
08:36 🏃 Adrenaline, boosted through exercise, aids fat burning and serves as a neurotransmitter.
09:03 🦋 Thyroid hormones, specifically T3, contribute to fat burning; address issues like fatty liver, kidney problems, iodine or selenium deficiency, and estrogen dominance.
09:18 🏋♂ Exercise contributes about 15% to weight loss but is crucial for stress reduction and improved sleep.
Muchas gracias por resumir. I love !!!
❤thank you for breaking it down. Dr. Berg is great.
Thank you
Great job! Thanks! How is this summary and timestamps generated?
You’re welcome guys, @UncleHemi I used Herpa AI chrome extension
Thank you Dr. Berg I really needed to hear this today , you are a blessing of God .
Thank you Dr. Berg for all you do to educate people on a healthy lifestyle. It is very much appreciated. It is simply a healthier way of improving ones health. Have a great 2024❤
I have lost alot of weight from 201 to 166 now was as low as 157. Got to get back on track. Im starting to crave sweets way more because I’ve been eating a higher level of carbs..proud of myself for being able to pinpoint the issue. THANKS Dr.Berg
Me too! Much success 👏🏼
Sounds like me and just a little bit of carbs only wants just a bit more carbs. I to am getting back on track. It’s all or no result’s.
I find eating three healthy meals a day, plus drinking water should stop the sugar cravings. Every time I skip breakfast, I crave sugary desserts at night, which drives me crazy since I usually don’t have anything with sugar. I end up getting some dark chocolate 85% or cookies with a little sugar (4 grams) for those days.(the reason I skip breakfast or eat cookies, etc due to pain- don’t do this)
I’ve gone without sugar for over 2 5 years so my body, taste buds already no what it is like. I also only drink water, tea sometimes which helps with not wanting sugar items too.
It takes some time to work on your taste buds, but when you do. You will not want anything real sugary. I still enjoy dessert after dinner, but not sweet like before.
Good Luck! You can do it!! 😊
Well done Monica.
@@memekendall3197that is TERRIBLE advice. You’re not lowering your insulin.
When you fast, even briefly…i.e. dont eat breakfast, eat from 11 am to 7pm for example, you’ll lower insulin and youll burn body fat to make up any caloric shortfall.
“Intermittent Fasting”.
Love learning more from your insightful videos, Dr Berg. Also love the fact that you refer to sources and provide scientific evidence. You’re right that a healthy diet, IF and good habits make a difference and has a good impact in our health. Turning off the TV news, avoiding toxic people, going out for a walk and spending some time in nature help significantly. Thank you so much for your continuous advice 🙏🏻
❤ You are so incredibly valued in my life Dr. Berg!
I hope I have the honor of actually meeting you some day too.
THANK YOU for ALL YOU DO!!!❤

Thank you for sharing, Dr. Berg. I am in remission from Addison’s disease. 12 years of steroids, I gained a lot of weight, something I never had to deal with before. It’s been 11 months now. Thanks to the cortisol reduction, I have finally started to lose weight. I’m still struggling with some belly fat. I also have MCAS/EDS/POTS and I battle vitamin deficiencies. I really appreciate your vitamin and supplement information. Going to try all of these suggestions, I have been doing a few, but I have not giving it my all. What you said about the body taking 24 hours to recover from eating bad carbs or foods really resonated with me. I’ll definitely be reminding myself that the next time I have the urge to eat some sugar.
Thank you so much again.
I know someone with EDS. Is there a good support group that you know of for her?
Clear and concise information as always. You’ve changed not only my physical health but also my mental health. Thank you doc
Thanks for the reminder. Please make a video on how progesterone is affected by Keto OMAD in post menopausal women. I lost 65lbs and about 50% of my hair at around the three months mark on Keto OMAD. I’ve been on keto IF for 23 months and while some of it has grown back, it is still thin. I even started dabbling at wearing wigs to cover it. Thanks, Dr. Berg.
Keep on Marching Dr. Berg! You Sir are making a positive impact on many people. May God continue to bless you as you have blessed us with your knowledge and content.
I have learn more in a year then from my whole life with you Dr Berg. I learn how to heal with fasting and what i put in my mouth, yes its true “you are what you eat“ and for that i had lost 83 lbs and still loosing to stay in my normal weight but I feel amazing better than in my younger years. Thank you!
Another great video! Thank you Dr Berg! ❤
Great vieo! I got off track during the holidays and was eating more carbs and sugar. Down my 3 lb gain but my doctor wants me to lose another 10. This inspires me to move forward. BTW I fasted 17+ hours last night into today. I cheated over the holidays but always fasted 12 hours at a minimum, usually 14-17 hours.
❤Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Your information is always useful and great advice
You’re very welcome!
Thank doc. You always motivate me to take better care of myself and my family
44-year-old woman, perimenopausal. I stalled on keto after doing it for over 5 years. Then I switched to carnivore and eliminated all dairy. Nothing happened for 3 weeks. Then the fat just started melting off. Went from 139 to 125 in 4 months, not doing much exercise. Very happy with carnivore results.
What a great video! So much information, to the point, inside 10 minutes. You can’t get this anywhere else. I forward these videos to my patients on a daily basis. Thank you, Dr. Berg
