Understanding an Anabolic Imbalance

If you’re wondering what is an anabolic imbalance, this video will help you understand symptoms of an anabolic imbalance, issues that come from an anabolic imbalance and how to fix an anabolic imbalance.

The anabolic and catabolic states are a natural flow to our circadian rhythm, and both states are appropriate. But when someone is dealing with an anabolic imbalance, they can experience things like constipation, anxiety, and even PCOS.

Chapters 3 & 4 of this book explain the digestive process and how to improve it when aspects aren’t working correctly.

Thank you for great videos! I’m confused however. My understanding of an anabolic state would indicate water retention. Can you help me understand why one would urinate more? What are the mechanisms that push one towards these “anabolic” changes?

In an anabolic state, the body is focused on building up tissues and synthesizing molecules, such as muscle protein and glycogen. This state is typically associated with positive nitrogen balance and retention of various substances, including water, within cells and tissues.

However, the body's handling of water during anabolic processes can vary. For example:

1. **Glycogen Storage**: Glycogen synthesis in muscles and liver involves the storage of water. For every gram of glycogen stored, approximately 3 grams of water are retained. This process can decrease the amount of free water available for excretion, potentially leading to less frequent urination.

2. **Hormonal Influence**: Anabolic states are often influenced by hormones like insulin, growth hormone, and anabolic steroids, which can affect kidney function and water retention. For instance, insulin promotes sodium retention, which can lead to water retention.

3. **Hydration and Muscle Growth**: Adequate hydration is essential for muscle growth, and the body may retain more water in the muscles during an anabolic state to support this process.

Overall, an anabolic state tends to promote water retention in tissues rather than increasing water excretion through the kidneys. Therefore, it is not typically associated with increased urination. Instead, there might be a decrease in the frequency of urination due to the retention of water within the body's cells and tissues.

Thank you in advance 🙏🏼

How did you discover the work of Emanuel Revici, and what led you to conclude that his framework regarding catabolic and anabolic imbalances holds the key to so many health issues?

speaking of cooking with oils… i keep hearing that seed oils are horrible for us, and often used in deep fried or pan fried foods, sooo, i switched to peanut oil, as it allows a higher heat point and i dont think its a seed oil like vegie oils? i can try and google it, but since you bring up not to fry with olive oil, as i have seen many do on youtube, i thought i would ask.

Hello, sir!
I have problems eating most of the foods… I eat pretty clean, like only organic/ grass fed stuff, but it seems that it doesn’t work and there are only a few foods that doesn’t make me feel like crap. I started supplementing with Betain HCL and Beet Flow for 2-3 weeks, I can see some problems getting better, but nothing incredible. In those 2-3 weeks of taking the supplements I tried eating carnivore diet, it felt like crap, then tried carnivore+fruit, felt even worse and also my skin never was drier on my legs and arms, it’s peeling of so easily if i scratch it with my fingers, also from this video I’m pretty sure im on that anabolic side more than the catabolic one. Sorry for complaining a lot in this comment, but can you tell me how much time should I expect to take the supplements (Betaine HCL & Beet Flow) until I can see pretty good improvement in those 2 areas and also what should I eat if everything makes me feel like shit, also have liver problems. I literally feel like sh*t when I’m thinking that I’m only 21 and having all of these problems, but only now I realise that I have this problems since I know myself…

Hi, which one should be treated first:anabolic inbalance or digestion?

[lisagryffyths]

Hello, Excessive urination to the point of needing the take electrolytes is a known issue with Low Carbs to Keto diets, so I'm confused about how lowering carbs could help more water be sent to the and held in the colon.

[PlaceboFXMakeup]

Gosh, would this potentially explain why on days I’m really flaring badly and exhausted, I’m peeing constantly and my urine is almost 100% clear? Despite not drinking more than usual?

[clayjug]

Hello. I'm currently reading your book. It's very interesting (and entertaining !). I had never heard of these imbalances that you talk about. I have almost all symptoms of anabolic imbalance. But how come this is talked about NOWHERE else? Like if I search in google they only talk about this anabolic stuff in regards to exercising. So I wonder how reliable your information is. What's your source ?

[DaughterOfGod-]

Is this the same as the parasympathetic state?

[Ashish..]

Plz add some technical data from Ayurveda and chinese medicine or ying yang.

[marieanne]

But we can’t buy the supplements without a practitioner, how do we get them?

[InjusticeJosh]

I wonder what would cause you to be catabolic at night and anabolic during the day.

[sadafvahedna]

What if I have all other symptoms of being anabolic but have an acidic urine? Plus acne, struggling to lose weight.
Magnesium causes acne, pee a lot, poop is dark- but constipated not sure what’s going on..

I am a serious weight lifter who takes supplements.. one of them being I personally take 10 grams three times a day totalling 30 grams of glutamine a day... is this considered a waste ? Thanks in advance

Is it safe for type 2 diabetics to take Cod liver oil?

[debmom]

When the urine pH comes down, doesn't that move towards acid. Or when you say move the urine pH down, you mean up the scale towards 7?
