In this video, we’re going to talk about the 5th body type. But first, let’s take a look at the other 4 body types:
•Adrenal body type
•Thyroid body type
•Ovary body type
•Liver body type

The 5th body type is the pancreas body type and is the result of high insulin and insulin resistance.

People are often confused about how to determine their body type. The body shape of an adrenal body type can look exactly the same as a pancreas body type, but the trigger for weight gain will be different.

If there was a stressful event like a divorce, trauma, or accident that occurred right before you began gaining weight, then you are an adrenal body type. If you were eating frequently, consuming lots of sugar and carbs before the weight gain, then you are likely a pancreas body type. Focus on identifying the event that occurred right before the weight gain.

One body type can also be the result of another body type. Sometimes, the liver body type is triggered by Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). In this case the liver body type was triggered by insulin resistance, which is the cause of the pancreas body type.

Determine when you developed this body shape and focus on what happened just before that. Determine if your weight gain was caused by one of the following so that you can best identify your body type:
•Stress
•Sugar
•Endocrine disruptors
•Alcohol
•Medication
•Virus
•Pregnancy
•Alcohol

I don't think there has ever been a time in my life where I didn't have some kind of trauma or stress.... I started getting fat at 17.

[christinaferrero]

Dr. Berg you have changed my life. You made me realize that I had adrenal fatigue my whole life and am insulin resistant. I know take supplements for the adrenal fatigue and have been following a ketogenic diet. I am 5 foot 8 and 138 pounds now! No more pms depression and severe anxiety over everything. Thank you so much

[psychana]

The way he explains makes me wish he was my math teacher

[tinkershell]

I can’t thank you enough for this! I’m tearing up and releasing some stress realizing I’m an adrenal type. I can now see how I got the way I am, and it wasn’t from overeating. It’s my stress response and no sleep. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Dr. Thank you so much I am actually studying to get my Naturopathic Doctor degree to help the truckers on the road. I myself a professional chef turned lorry driver well truck driver. I came to this industry with the food knowledge that I have and you with your videos have helped me put it all into perspective. I have a reality show and your information has really helped me help them. Everything that I am learning from you now helps me put what I’ve been taught all my life from the healers in my family now it all makes so much sense. Thank You.

I went from 215 # on a 5'2" frame, now I am at 143# thanks to all you have taught me! I am a Family & Consumer Sciences teacher and I share your information to anyone who asks me how I lost 75# over the past few years. Thank you for helping us get healthy!

[blakeshaw]

[AngelAlana]

Finally, a body type that makes sense. Need more info on 5th body type please.

My husband and I cut out alcohol completely and he and I are both doing IF and low carb! We are feeling great! I've lost 9 pounds so far in one month!

[ceceredmond]

My issues started in the 1990's with low thyroid. In 2007, once I had my ovaries removed I gained huge amounts of weight rapidly. At that same time both of my parents died within 60 days, my fiancé broke off our relationship, and other familial relationships went into the toilet. I have been over 200lbs for over 10 years. I seem to be an emotional eater, had my gallbladder removed - now experiencing high blood pressure and high LDL. I get confused by exactly what to do. I feel that there are too many issues to overcome. I do not want to be taking statins and blood pressure medicine. What direction should I go in?

[lyntung]

Dr Berg, thank you for sharing your expertise. I’m not a fan of “explain” videos but I find myself watching your videos because I learn so much. Sometimes your illustrations might look complicated but they actually aren’t because the way you explain is really easy to get and understand.

[BenildeMoreno]

Thank you!!! I'm loving your videos. I've been filled with cortisol since I can remember yet I managed to stay thin because of my ballet classes. Today I'm exactly your cortisol type discription. I've always liked vegetables but my family are not very used to them so I started eating greens every day. No matter what I won't allow any of my day to day problems to stop me from working out. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[Kenken]

I used to have asthma attacks so frequent when I was younger and once they put my on a steroid I started eating more which added to my sugar addiction and started gaining weight. But adding to that my cycle was very unpredictable. I’ve tried different “diets” and some worked some didn’t. I get close and then hit a wall. My journey is not over not even close

[nma]

I started gaining so much weight when i lost my mom, the stress of that passing affected my whole life till date. I think I am now recovering.

[solutionsgirl]

Wow..this is exactly what I needed, I have been having an issue figuring out my exact body type, even doing the body type quiz, once it was 33% on 3. I'm definitely not an overy type..I wouldn't mind more on this. But got your point, and being on keto &IF is a major change in my operating basis & a step in right direction, 3 weeks in my body is changing..its gonna take time, I'm doing it for health &repair, the weight loss is fine at about 6 pounds so far. Thank you, I look forward to continuing this journey.

[silencio]

This is amazing information... I am still confused about discovering the root of my health problems because sugar, stress and a possible virus was involved at the onset of my illness which involves the adrenals, thyroid and liver. I feel confused because of too many variables. I will keep watching !

[KateInSaltLake]

Are you going to do a video for this body type?

[debramoss]

I have three of these, extremely high stress, medication and insulin resistance. I am also predominantly immobile, so felt stumped.
Not stopping me from doing the best I can. I am ensuring a high level of anti-infammatory and analgesic foods in the meal, L-Lysine, VitD3+K2, ACV, San Pellegrino when we can access it.Keto, a challenge being vegan, but pleasantly doable and everything organic, or wild and it is coming off!
I just watched a video from 7years back and the difference in you between the two is jaw-dropping. You look much younger now, more vibrant and definitely more focused, but the biggest shock is your irises, they are a different colour!
Iridology theory wins on that one. Amazing.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
