The speaker discusses how to get rid of cellulite, a condition characterized by a "cottage cheese-like" appearance of the skin. They explain that cellulite is not a fat problem, but rather a collagen disorder caused by excess estrogen. The speaker provides a plan to address cellulite, which includes:
1. Fixing muscle atrophy by stimulating the muscles in the affected areas through exercises such as lunges, squats, and retro walking.
2. Fixing circulation problems by increasing blood flow to the area through rebound exercises, red light therapy, dry brushing, and massage.
3. Fixing collagen problems by stimulating autophagy, a natural process that recycles old damaged proteins, through fasting and using an aromatase inhibitor cream.
The speaker also highlights common mistakes to avoid, such as:
* Going too fast and overdoing it, especially for those with muscle atrophy
* Working out over soreness, which can damage already damaged muscles
* Not creating enough stimulus for the muscles
* Poor sleep quality, which can affect cortisol and insulin levels
The speaker emphasizes the importance of patience, as it may take several months to a year or more to see improvements. They recommend taking pictures before and after to track progress.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Cellulite only occurs in the butt, thighs, and hips.
2. The area of the body where cellulite occurs has twice as many alpha-2 receptors.
3. Alpha-2 receptors are located in fat cells and tell the body to store fat for later.
4. The fat around the lower part of the body acts as a reserve for pregnancy.
5. Cellulite gets worse with pregnancies, hormone replacement therapy, birth control pills, and menopause.
6. Cellulite is not a fat problem, but a collagen disorder caused by excess estrogen.
7. The collagen bands under the skin are partially or completely dissolved in people with cellulite.
8. The loss of the fibrous fishnet under the skin causes fat cells to push up against the skin, creating a dimpled appearance.
9. Enlarged fat cells, thin skin, circulation loss, fluid retention, and a backup of the lymphatic system can contribute to cellulite.
10. Atrophy of the muscles underneath the skin can also contribute to cellulite.
11. Hormonal imbalances, including excess estrogen, cortisol, and insulin, can contribute to cellulite.
12. Fasting can stimulate autophagy, a condition that recycles old damaged proteins and replaces them with new tissue.
13. Intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting can be beneficial for reducing cellulite.
14. Aromatase inhibitors, such as DIM, can help reduce excess estrogen and improve collagen production.
15. Red light therapy, rebound exercises, and dry brushing can improve circulation and lymphatic drainage.
16. Massage can also improve circulation and lymphatic drainage in the affected area.
17. Stimulating the muscles through exercises like lunges, squats, and retro walking can help improve muscle tone and reduce cellulite.
18. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can be beneficial for reducing cellulite, but should be done with caution to avoid injury.
19. Getting enough sleep is crucial for reducing cortisol and insulin levels, which can contribute to cellulite.
20. Patience is key when trying to reduce cellulite, as it can take several months to a year or more to see significant improvements.
