that you're feeling cold and yet no one else in the room is complaining you tend

to wear a sweater when everyone else has t-shirts if you're feeling cold all the

time sort of in the whole body then it is a energy problem you're simply put

you're not making enough energy so let's break this down and make it really

simple so we can get it your cells make energy and there's three factors that

play in in terms of your cells making enough energy the first one has to do

with the thyroid and your thyroid is like the thermostat for the whole body

you have a hundred trillion cells in your body give or take and every one of

those cells have thyroid receptors and then the thyroid makes thyroid hormone

and the thyroid hormone attaches to the cell and determines that tells the cell

how much to do of whatever that cell is doing so with more thyroid hormone every

cell it's going to make a little more with less thyroid hormone every cell is

going to slow down and do less of whatever that cell is doing so it's like

a thermostat you increase tyroid you speed up everything in the body a little

bit you reduce the thyroid output and you slow down everything in the body a

little bit and this is energy production heart rate digestive speed the

production of stomachacid the rate of healing the transmission of nerve

impulses you name it every cell depends on thyroid hormone and if it slows down

then everything slows down so that's part one

then once the thyroid has kind of placed the order to hold the the cell what to

do now the cell has two requirements it needs fuel and it needs oxygen

so the way that we get fuel is obviously from the food that we eat and if you

don't eat anything for a really long time that's called starvation if you

starve or if you go on an extended fast or if you're trying to go on a diet and

starve yourself then your body senses that there's less fuel in the system and

it's it slows down it shuts things down gradually to conserve energy to conserve

resources and that's why it can be difficult to lose weight for example by

just cutting out the how much you eat so-called calories because the less you

eat the more the body tries to conserve and you're kind of caught in a vicious

cycle but even if you're not starving yourself you can actually be short on

energy for another reason it's called hypoglycemia and this happens if you

have what's called a blood sugar roller coaster if your metabolism primarily

depends on carbohydrates and sugar for fuel like most people in the Western

world then what happens is you eat some sugar and carbs and your body has an

insulin response and that insulin response is going to suppress the blood

sugar it's gonna drop the blood sugar but because sugar is such a stress on

the body the body tends to overcompensate because it's kind of a

crisis when blood sugar goes up so it's overcompensate and it tries to get it

down really really fast so now you get a valley and that's called hypoglycemia

now you're too low on available fuel and your body goes screaming give me

something give me something and you get cravings and what do you get cravings

for you guessed it carbs sugar bread snacks junk food so the way to get

around that is to cut out the junk food cut out the processed food cut out the

sugar and the carbs and develop a diet more like a keto or a paleo diet where

you rely more heavily on fat and protein because that's how the body gets a

stable blood sugar level once you have a stable blood sugar that means you have a

stable fuel supply for your cells and you no longer get hypoglycemia and your

body has the available fuel to produce energy and then we said that the cells

need in addition to the fuel they need oxygen and just like anything else in

the world that's gonna burn anything that's going to produce energy

it needs oxygen and in the body what delivers the oxygen obviously is the

blood their red blood cells and in the red blood cells the thing that actually

carries the oxygen is called hemoglobin it's a protein so you can either have a

low number of red blood cells or you could have less hemoglobin in the red

blood cells either one of those situations is called anemia that means

that your blood doesn't have the capacity to transport enough oxygen so

if you're really anemic you could lose 20 30 40 percent of your oxygen carrying

capacity and now your cells are constantly starving for energy because

even if it has fuel available it can't turn the fuel into energy without the

oxygen if you enjoy this kind of information please share it with others
