Looking for ways to increase your lifespan and feel younger? Discover powerful molecules found in everyday foods that can help improve your overall health. DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3961091/ New Fascinating Research on Grass-Fed Beef: ▶️ https://youtu.be/fSgmqsl3Twk 0:00 Introduction: Foods that have the potential to boost longevity 0:07 The importance of mitochondria 0:30 The power of PQQ 2:26 Benefits of polyphenols 3:38 Understanding Coenzyme Q10 4:16 Potency of L-carnitine 4:38 Significance of carnosine 5:15 What is phycocyanin? 5:42 Advantages of EPA and DHA 6:07 Discover the most dangerous food! In this video, we're going to talk about the importance of mitochondria in relation to longevity and how specific molecules found in food can help support their function. We explore the benefits of PQQ, polyphenols, Coenzyme Q10, L-carnitine, carnosine, phycocyanin, and EPA/DHA. These molecules are found in a variety of foods, such as: • Cacao, which contains PQQ • Berries, grass-fed meats, and cheese, which are rich in polyphenols • Liver, red meat, and fatty fish, which are good sources of Coenzyme Q10 • Red meat, which is high in L-carnitine and carnosine • Spirulina, which is a vegetarian source of phycocyanin • Salmon, sardines, and cod liver oil, which are rich in EPA and DHA Incorporating these foods into your diet can potentially increase the number of mitochondria in your cells, improve energy production, decrease oxidative stress and inflammation, and slow down aging. Let's dive deeper into each of these potent molecules and their specific benefits: • PQQ—Boosts mitochondrial count and supports uninterrupted energy production in cells. • Polyphenols—Enhance mitochondrial function and reduce inflammation. • Coenzyme Q10—Is essential for proper mitochondrial functioning, especially in energy production. It also acts as an antioxidant and may have therapeutic effects for mitochondrial diseases. Supplementing with Coenzyme Q10 may benefit those taking statins. • L-carnitine—Helps with fat burning, muscle preservation during exercise, and post-workout recovery. • Carnosine—Acts as a pH buffer, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, and may delay aging. • Phycocyanin—Has antioxidant properties and supports mitochondrial biogenesis, increasing energy production and potentially protecting DNA. • EPA and DHA—Are omega-3 fatty acids that increase mitochondrial function, reduce oxidative stress, have anti-inflammatory effects, and improve insulin sensitivity.

Check out these natural remedies to eliminate both bacterial and viral infection symptoms in no time! The 2-Minute Sore Throat Solution: ▶️ https://youtu.be/PFXMbBNCq90 0:00 Introduction: What is the fastest way to overcome an infection? 0:12 Viral infection versus bacterial infection 1:49 Viral infection remedies 1:59 Bacterial infection remedies 4:23 What increases your susceptibility to infection? 6:15 Acupressure technique for a sore throat In this video, I’m going to tell you how to get rid of your infection symptoms naturally. To combat an infection, try to determine if you’re dealing with a viral infection or a bacterial infection. Viral infection symptoms will be more systemic. If you have a viral infection, you’ll notice more body aches and chills. Bacterial infection symptoms will be localized. Fevers are typically higher with a bacterial infection. A sore throat associated with a viral infection is often accompanied by a runny nose and a cough. If a sore throat is caused by a bacterial infection, you’ll feel more localized pain without a runny nose. A dry cough is associated with a viral infection, while bacterial infections are associated with a productive cough. Respiratory infection, the common cold, flu, bronchitis, and infections involving the sinuses and lungs are generally viral. Pneumonia can be both bacterial and viral. A viral infection typically lasts 1 to 2 weeks. A bacterial infection will probably last a bit longer, but this depends on your immune system. Mucus associated with a viral infection is usually clear or white and green or yellow with a bacterial infection. The best viral infection remedies are elderberry and olive leaf extract. For bacterial infections, try garlic, oregano oil, and echinacea. The following remedies for infection work for both viral and bacterial infections: •Take a hot bath or shower/dress warm •Get more sleep •Take zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin C •Fasting •Increase sea salt intake •Improve emotional state •Get more sunlight (UVB and infrared rays) •Take cod liver oil Stress, age, and poor gut health can increase your susceptibility to infection. Refined sugar and other refined foods deplete zinc and vitamin C, also increasing your susceptibility to infection.

Your body has a complex hormone feedback system that the brain uses to communicate to turn on or off testosterone production. When you change your natural hormone levels with external sources, there can be many side effects that may reduce your quality of life. The effects of taking testosterone may include: •Worsening sleep apnea •Moodiness •Acne •Dizziness •Higher risk of heart disease •Decreased fertility •Thickening of blood •Testicular atrophy •Erectile dysfunction Before taking any testosterone supplements, it is important to identify the root cause of low testosterone levels. This can include: • Age • Insulin resistance • Low zinc • Protein deficiency • Low-fat diet • Statins • High soy diet • Low vitamin A or vitamin D • Excessive physical activity • Insomnia • Liver issues • Obesity Fortunately, you can increase testosterone naturally by getting enough rest and a nutritious diet.

Learn about the amazing benefits of cod liver oil, a superfood rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D. Dr. Weston Price Book Link: https://www.amazon.com/Nutrition-Physical-Degeneration-Weston-Price/dp/0916764206 0:00 Introduction: Why take cod liver oil? 0:15 Health benefits of cod liver oil 1:01 Cod liver oil vs. fish oil 3:03 Vitamin A and cod liver oil 4:35 Cod liver oil and vitamin D 5:23 Learn more about vitamin K2! In this video, we’re going to talk about the health benefits of cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. EPA has potent anti-inflammatory properties, while DHA supports cognitive function. Cod liver oil is also rich in vitamin A and vitamin D. Don’t confuse cod liver oil with fish oil! You would need 12,000 mg of fish oil to equal just one tablespoon of cod liver oil. You can not get vitamin A from fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene is only a precursor to vitamin A, not the active form. Cod liver oil contains retinol, the active form of vitamin A. The most common autoimmune disease is Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. There’s a significant link between vitamin A deficiency and hypothyroidism. There are vitamin A receptors inside of your white blood cells, so it’s crucial for immunity! Vitamin A also helps to regulate iodine. Vitamin A supports the mucus membranes of your mouth, sinuses, throat, and lungs, so it’s critical in preventing infections. It also supports the roots of the microvilli on the inside of your intestinal tract. Vitamin A supports the health of your retina. If you’re deficient in retinol (the active form of vitamin A), you can go blind. Cod liver oil is also a good source of vitamin D. Without vitamin D, you can't pull calcium and magnesium into the body. Beans, legumes, grains, and cereals are very high in phytic acid, which increases the need for vitamin D. If your diet is high in these foods, it’s easy to become deficient in vitamin D. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Check out these sleeping tips and discover a powerful technique to help you fall asleep within minutes! 0:00 Introduction: How to fall asleep fast! 0:11 Barriers to better sleep 2:59 Sleep technique to fall asleep fast 4:08 Check out my video on breathing! In this video, I’m going to show you how to fall asleep fast with a simple sleep technique. First, let’s take a look at the reasons why you might be having trouble getting to sleep. 1. Overtraining or too much exercise causes the sympathetic nervous system to go up, keeping your adrenaline high and preventing sleep. 2. If your room is too hot, it can interfere with your sleep quality. 3. High carb consumption and stress deplete vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 is essential for the parasympathetic nervous system, so a deficiency will keep you up at night. Try taking vitamin B1 before bed for better sleep. 4. Too much caffeine is a common cause of poor sleep. 5. Poor gut health can inhibit good sleep. Kefir as a probiotic can help! 6. Insulin resistance inhibits the absorption of tryptophan, a precursor to melatonin. This can interfere with your ability to fall asleep fast. 7. Some people have trouble sleeping after being on keto or the carnivore diet for a long period of time. This is because their insulin is very low. Try having a cup of berries with your last meal to fix this problem. 8. Sodium deficiency can cause problems with your sleep. This can be caused by fasting, OMAD (one meal a day), or not adding enough sodium to your diet. Low sodium can cause your sympathetic nervous system to go up which can keep you from sleeping. If you want to know how to fall asleep instantly, try this simple sleep technique! You’re going to breathe in a way that synchronizes your heartbeat and blood pressure to the rhythm of your breathing. This will help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing sleep very quickly. Try practicing with a timer first! Breathe in for 5 ½ seconds and breathe out for 5 ½ seconds. This will give you about 5 ½ breaths per minute. When doing this technique, breathe through your nose, and within minutes you will fall asleep.

Worried about hair loss? Watch this video to discover the top foods to eat for healthy, vibrant hair. DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7146355/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/99021/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7527268/ 0:00 Introduction: Best Foods for hair loss 0:41 Deficiencies found in people with hair loss 0:52 Relationship between histidine and hair loss 1:07 Why you may be deficient in histidine 2:25 Co-factors of histidine 4:48 Top Foods to prevent hair loss In this video, we're going to talk about the importance of histidine in helping to prevent hair loss and what foods you should incorporate into your diet to support healthy hair. A study has shown that over 90 percent of people suffering from alopecia are deficient in an amino acid called histidine. This essential amino acid is a precursor to histamine, which plays a vital role in immune reactions, allergies, and inflammation. Deficiencies in histidine can lead to anemia, while excessive intake can cause premature ejaculation. However, the right amount of histidine in your diet can promote healthy hair growth by helping to produce keratin and regulating copper and zinc levels. Certain medications and alcohol consumption may lower histidine levels in the body, while inadequate stomach acid can hinder its absorption from food sources. To counter this issue, betaine hydrochloride can be taken as an acidifier. But to fully utilize histidine, specific co-factors must be present, such as vitamin B6, proper copper and zinc ratios, and folate. The top three foods that can help combat hair loss are: 1. Organ meats, including liver, due to the histidine and other essential nutrients they contain. 2. Animal proteins, such as beef and chicken, are rich in histidine and other amino acids necessary for hair regeneration. 3. Shellfish, particularly shrimp, scallops, and crabs, provide high levels of zinc and copper that can help maintain proper ratios in the body. It's important to note that having enough folate in your diet is essential for hair development. It's best to obtain folate from natural sources, as taking supplements such as folic acid may inhibit the conversion of histidine into its active form.

How do we break the cycle of anxiety? Learn the causes of stress and how to overcome them in this video. 0:00 Introduction: A new look at anxiety 1:26 Understanding worry 2:16 Relationship between problems and anxiety 3:38 What is speculation? 4:25 Impact of sensationalism on stress levels 4:51 Understanding the role of conjecture in anxiety 5:15 The role of anxiety in adrenal gland function 5:43 How adaptogens can help manage stress and anxiety 6:15 Learn more about how to get rid of stress! In this video, we're going to talk about the different factors that can contribute to anxiety and how they affect our bodies. Anxiety is defined as worrying about something that may or may not happen. It can be triggered by speculation, sensationalism, or conjecture. Speculation is when we are concerned about things not based on facts or knowledge, while sensationalism is the use of shocking words or exaggerated stories to grab attention. A conjecture, on the other hand, is an opinion based on guessing rather than the truth. These triggers can cause anxiety that, if left unchecked, may become chronic and affect our adrenal glands. This, in turn, encourages the release of adrenaline and cortisol, weakening our immune system and accelerating the aging process. Limiting exposure to stress through activities such as exercise and spending time in nature is essential to break this cycle. It’s also best to avoid negative messages and sensationalized news that provoke these anxious thoughts. Additionally, incorporating adaptogens into our diet, such as vitamin B1 and ashwagandha, helps to strengthen our ability to cope with daily stress.

If you’re deficient in niacin (vitamin B3), you may have some strange symptoms. Find out how to spot a niacin deficiency and what you can do to fix it! DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9032523/ 0:00 Introduction: Niacin deficiency symptoms 0:25 Subclinical symptoms of a vitamin B3 deficiency 1:41 How to fix a niacin deficiency 2:05 Benefits of niacin 3:50 Foods high in vitamin B3 4:39 How do you become deficient in niacin? 6:18 Learn more about zinc! In this video, we’re going to talk about niacin deficiency symptoms. If you have a niacin deficiency, you might experience the “4 D's”: dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and even death. Subclinical symptoms of a niacin deficiency include the following: • Loss of taste • Metallic/rancid taste in the mouth • Loss of smell/change in smell • Face moves when you look in the mirror • Words move when you read • Unstable or moving ground when walking • Fatigue • Inability to relax You need large amounts of niacin to address a deficiency. You can take either niacin or niacinamide. Niacin is a precursor to NAD, which helps extract electrons from foods. This allows you to get more energy from the food that you eat. Vitamin B3 helps support something known as sirtuins, which support longevity and DNA repair. L-tryptophan can convert to niacin, serotonin, and melatonin! Niacin is very beneficial for skin health and conditions like acne and psoriasis. A niacin deficiency can cause very dry, scaly skin. The form of niacin known as niacinamide can help with inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Niacin also supports healthy levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol. It was very popular before the development of statins. Animal protein and organ meats are the best sources of niacin. You can also get niacin from spirulina and nutritional yeast, but look for nutritional yeast that does not have added synthetic vitamins. There is a tremendous amount of research on niacin and cholesterol, the heart, and mood disorders like schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. A diet high in ultra-processed foods can lead to a niacin deficiency. Pregnancy, alcoholism, Covid-19, and certain medications can also contribute to a niacin deficiency.

Omega-3 Index Complete Test Link: https://drbrg.co/3OLR2Wh Discover the difference between omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids and the importance of a proper omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. Dr. Chris A. Knobbe, MD Book - The Ancestral Diet Revolution https://www.amazon.com/Ancestral-Diet-Revolution-Vegetable-Processed/dp/1734071761 0:00 Introduction: Omega-3 vs. omega-6 ratio 0:26 The history of seed oils 2:02 Omega-6 vs. omega-3 fatty acids 5:00 Omega-3 sources 7:10 Omega-3 fatty acids 8:58 Learn more about cod liver oil! In this video, we’re going to talk about essential fatty acids, omega-6 and omega-3. The omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is way off in the average diet. The average American is at a 20:1 and sometimes a 70:1 or more omega-6 to omega-3 ratio! We need both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, but we need significantly more omega-3 fatty acids to avoid inflammation. The source is important! You don’t want to get your omega-6 fatty acids from seed oils. Omega-6 consumption from seed oils directly correlates with chronic illnesses like heart disease. Very recently in human history, seed oils replaced saturated fat in the diet and are in every ultra-processed food. Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids include fatty fish, cod liver oil, cod liver, sardines, and shellfish. Grain-fed animals are much higher in omega-6 fatty acids. This is one of the reasons people are turning to grass-fed, grass-finished beef. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids go through the same biochemical pathways and compete with each other in the body. If there’s any problem in these biochemical pathways, you can end up with dysfunctional fats that your body will be unable to benefit from. Co-factors for these biochemical pathways include magnesium, vitamins B2, B3, B6, vitamin C, and insulin. Many people are insulin resistant, which means they’re deficient in insulin. Seed oil consumption paired with insulin resistance causes a lot more compound damage. Intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet can correct insulin resistance so you’re better able to utilize fatty acids within the body and don’t end up with dysfunctional fats. Omega-3 fatty acids fall into two categories: DHA and EPA. EPA helps reduce inflammation, and DHA helps support cognitive function. ALA is a precursor to EPA. There’s a simple blood test that can measure your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Sardines and cod liver are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, but is one better for you than the other? Find out in this quick video. 0:00 Introduction: Sardines vs. cod liver 0:23 Cod liver oil 0:57 Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA 1:10 Comparing sardines vs. cod liver 3:50 Sardines and salmon 4:05 Learn more about the benefits of cod liver oil! In this video, we’re going to talk about the health benefits of cod liver and sardines. Sardines are excellent for your health and a great source of omega-3s, but so is cod liver! You should consume both foods because they each have their own strengths. Cod liver and sardines contain omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. EPA helps reduce inflammation, while DHA supports the brain, nerves, and heart. Sardines contain .9 to 2 grams of omega-3 fatty acids per serving while cod liver contains 9 to 11 grams per serving. Cod liver also contains significantly more vitamin D. Sardines and cod liver contain vitamin A in its active form, retinol. Vitamin A supports vision, vision at night, and the inner mucosal membranes of your mouth, throat, sinuses, and lungs. It’s also important for your thyroid. Sardines contain 32 mcg of vitamin A, and cod liver contains 5100 mcg! Cod liver does not surpass sardines in all aspects. Sardines are a better source of protein. Cod liver is a rich source of folate at 300 mcg, while sardines only contain 10 mcg. Sardines contain 392 mg of calcium and 545 mg of phosphorus and cod liver contains 10 mg and 100 mg respectively. Cod liver and sardines contain about the same amount of B12 at 10.6 mcg and 11 mcg respectively. When comparing sardines to salmon, both fish contain B vitamins, but sardines are a better source of calcium, phosphorus, selenium, iron, magnesium, and zinc.

Find out how to prevent muscle loss associated with aging with these 6 tips. DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6122168/ https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2020.621226/full 0:00 Introduction: How to prevent muscle loss with aging 0:23 Sarcopenia 1:32 Estrogen and age-related muscle loss 2:55 Cholesterol and muscle loss 4:08 Melatonin and muscle loss 5:25 Six ways to salvage your hormones to prevent muscle loss as you age In this video, we’re going to talk about preventing muscle loss due to aging. At around age 50, women go through menopause which causes hormonal changes. Men experience hormonal changes around age 60. As you age and your hormones change, you can become deficient in skeletal muscle. This is known as sarcopenia. Around 40% of your metabolism is related to your muscles, so this can have detrimental effects. In women, estrogen decreases with age, but progesterone drops even lower. Without progesterone, you end up with a lot of problems from estrogen. Cholesterol is a building block for steroid hormones, like testosterone and estrogen, which directly affect your muscles. This is why low-cholesterol and low-fat diets can cause muscle loss. Coincidentally, this is why you see muscle damage and diseases associated with statin drugs. There are 2 types of melatonin—one induces sleep and the other protects the mitochondria. As you age, melatonin decreases by around 10 times! The pituitary gland releases two hormones that control the testicles and the ovaries: luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. These hormones tell the gonads to release their hormones. When men get older, these hormones skyrocket. You can suppress them by increasing melatonin. Here are 6 ways to protect and support your hormones to help prevent muscle loss as you age: 1. Infrared light can increase melatonin. Sunlight, fire, and candles all provide infrared light. 2. Regular, consistent, resistance exercise is the most potent stimulator of muscle building. 3. Ensure adequate intake of high-quality animal protein. Aim for .8 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. 4. Consume plenty of cholesterol from meat and dairy. 5. Try pregnenolone supplements. Start out with 30 mg per day for women and 100 mg for men. Pregnenolone is a precursor for important hormones related to muscle building. 6. DHEA supplements are a precursor for hormones that help build muscle. Try 25 mg for women and 100 mg for men.

Are multivitamins and other health supplements good for you? Find out the truth about vitamins in this video. A simple test to find out if your supplements contain hidden maltodextrin: https://youtu.be/4p3SqQn9izs DATA: https://www.nemsn.org/Articles/truth_about_tryptophan.htm https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA18379710&sid=googleScholar&v=2.1&it=r&linkaccess=abs&issn=00377783&p=AONE&sw=w&userGroupName=anon%7E61cdd526&aty=open-web-entry https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/ci/products/vitamins-chemical-economics-handbook.html https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24088149/ 0:00 Introduction: The supplement industry and the FDA 3:33 L-tryptophan supplements (1989) 6:15 Synthetic vitamin supplements 8:10 How vitamins are made 10:34 Do you need to take vitamins? 14:55 Learn more about hidden maltodextrin! In this video, we’re going to talk about vitamins and supplements. Sometimes, health supplements are discredited because they’re not regulated by the FDA the same way as pharmaceuticals, but it's important to understand the relationship between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies. People often become employees of the FDA to secure a much higher-paying career at a pharmaceutical company. This plays a major role in the approval of drugs. Many drugs are approved without enough evidence of safety. Overall, supplements are generally recognized as safe. In 1989, a dozen people allegedly died from taking L-tryptophan. L-tryptophan is an amino acid that helps you sleep, has an anti-depressive factor, and curbs cravings. The problem arose from a contaminated batch of L-tryptophan that was made using genetically modified bacteria. There was a recall, and the FDA banned the supplement for 16 years. Synthetic vitamins are much cheaper than natural vitamins but do not have the same effects on the body. Around ⅔ of vitamins come from raw materials made in China, all of which are synthetic industrially made compounds. There are several reasons why we need vitamins and supplements and why some people need them more than others. The following factors will increase the need for vitamins and supplements: • Food is grown in poor soils or hydroponically • Genetics • Chronic inflammation • Frequent exercise • Seed oil consumption • Grain consumption • Veganism • Fasting We have a very high need for some vitamins and minerals that require a large consumption of certain foods to achieve adequate intake. For example, you need 4700 mg of potassium each day. Some deficiencies can be dangerous. Deficiencies in folate can mimic the same damage to your DNA as radiation.

Are insects the sustainable food source of the future? Find out if eating bugs will save the planet. 0:00 Introduction: Should we eat bugs? 0:47 Are bugs a good alternative protein source? 2:11 Bugs vs. beef 2:35 Insects and pathogens 4:12 Check out my video on what you SHOULD be eating for your health! In this video, we’re going to take a look at edible bugs as an alternative protein source. Some say that we should be eating bugs by 2050 because of the growing population. Some blame climate change or claim that beef is not sustainable and that we need to find other sources of food. One hundred grams of bugs contains about 12 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 5 grams of carbs. If we were to eat insects as food, we’d need to eat 4x to 8x this amount to get enough protein! It could become quite expensive to consume this many bugs each day. The cost of edible insects could be lowered by lowering the quality of what they’re fed, but then the bugs will be less nutritious with less protein. Eating insects would also require people to give up their cultural and traditional foods which is not likely. When you compare bugs to beef, insects do not come close in terms of protein or nutritional value. Insects also carry pathogens. A 2019 study evaluated several cricket farms that were developing edible insects. Around 81% of the crickets had parasites and 30% were potentially pathogenic. There's also a higher incidence of worms, viruses, bacteria, and fungus in crickets. If you have an allergy to shellfish, you may also have an allergy to edible insects because they contain a similar protein. Bugs have an exoskeleton mainly composed of chitin which is an antinutrient and can not be digested by our microbiome. Chitin also blocks vitamins A and E.

What if you ate plant-based meat for 2 weeks? Discover the truth about fake meat. 0:00 Introduction: Is plant-based meat “clean meat”? 0:45 Updated evaluation of red meat and cancer 1:50 The True Health Initiative 3:07 Plant-based meat 5:15 Check out my video on the benefits of real meat! In this video, we’re going to talk about plant-based meat. Plant-based meat is marketed as clean meat. People are gravitating to these fake meats because of claims that real meat causes cancer and other chronic diseases. The studies that were used to draw these conclusions were food questionnaires and observational studies. Out of 800 studies on the topic, researchers claiming that meat was bad only focused on 17. An evaluation of the studies linking red meat to cancer by the Annals of Internal Medicine concluded that the evidence linking red meat consumption to cancer and cardiovascular disease is too weak to recommend that we eat less of it. New guidelines say we don't need to change our meat habits. No significant link between meat consumption and heart disease, diabetes, or cancer has been found. Plant-based meat is full of ultra-processed ingredients like seed oils, soy, modified food starches, and GMO ingredients. Claims that plant-based meat is identical to real meat are completely false. Metabolomic studies have shown key differences in 171 out of 190 compounds in fake meat compared to real meat.

Are you wondering how to get enough potassium on a carnivore diet? Find out if there’s enough potassium in meat to keep you healthy. 0:00 Introduction: What is potassium, and how does it work? 1:15 Symptoms of low potassium vs. high potassium 1:53 What causes high potassium levels? 3:24 Potassium sources 4:25 How to get enough potassium on a carnivore diet 5:12 Discover the benefits of consuming beef! In this video, we’re going to talk about potassium on the carnivore diet. You need 4700 mg of potassium each day, more than any other mineral. Potassium is important for the sodium-potassium pump present in all of your cells, which allows the contraction and relaxation of your nerves. Too much potassium is known as hyperkalemia, and too little is known as hypokalemia. Symptoms of high potassium include diarrhea, muscle pain, and muscle numbness. Symptoms of low potassium include constipation, muscle cramps, and fatigue. Potassium is vital for exercise performance. If you don’t have enough, you’ll probably feel weak or tired. One of the causes of low potassium is low magnesium. Kidney disease can cause high potassium. If the kidney is not functioning properly, it won’t be able to get rid of potassium. It’s very rare to develop too much potassium in the blood from dietary intake. Blood pressure medications or side effects of an adrenal condition known as Addison's can also cause high potassium. Diuretics and steroids can cause low potassium. Surgeries and injuries can also cause low potassium. The following vegetables are some of the best sources of potassium: •1 cup of beet leaves 1300 mg •1 cup of Swiss chard 900 mg •1 cup spinach 840 mg •1 avocado 500-700 mg •1 cup of beets 520 mg •1 cup of salad 350-500 mg Bananas contain around 300 mg of potassium but have too much sugar. Here are some of the best sources of potassium on the carnivore diet: •1 cup of bone broth 500 mg •3 ½ oz beef 350 mg •3 ½ oz octopus 650 mg •3 oz salmon 300 mg •1 large egg 63 mg •3 oz beef liver 125 mg •3 oz chicken 300 mg Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Discover 10 underlying causes of inflammation and some of the best ways to reduce it. More videos on autoimmune disease and gut connection: ▶️ https://youtu.be/4DdvOVv0JMA ▶️ https://youtu.be/JPuavnZFebo ▶️ https://youtu.be/1TP5glJs7cw 0:00 Introduction: What is inflammation? 0:46 What causes inflammation? 1:42 Inflammatory foods 3:46 Viruses and inflammation 6:20 Pain and inflammation due to bile sludge 8:40 How to reduce inflammation 10:52 Check out my free resource on how to lower cortisol! In this video, we’re going to look at the root causes of inflammation and the best natural remedies for inflammation. Here are 10 common causes of inflammation. 1. Gluten consumption and food allergies Gluten can lead to a leaky gut, a condition where food particles leak through the small intestine. Leaky gut is one of the most common causes of inflammation. Pinpointing a food allergy can also help clear up gut inflammation. 2. Ultra-processed food ingredients Ultra-processed foods like synthetic sugars, modified food starches, and seed oils go through several industrial processes to the point that they no longer resemble their original form. These foods cause free-radical damage and inflammation in the body. 3. Viruses Viruses can go in and out of remission, causing inflammatory conditions that come and go. This is often triggered by stress which increases your cortisol levels, suppressing your immune system. Viruses can also block vitamin D. 4. Insulin resistance Frequent eating and carb consumption leads to insulin resistance. Most of the population is insulin-resistant. 5. Lack of cortisol Chronic stress over a long period and medications like Prednisone can lead to cortisol resistance. 6. Old injuries Lack of movement and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to inflammation. 7. Sludge in bile ducts Without adequate bile salts, bile sludge can back up into the liver causing right shoulder pain and rhomboid pain. This can be corrected by a healthy diet. 8. Too much iron This is typically caused by a genetic issue and is more common in men. 9.

Stop drinking energy drinks that only lead to a big crash! Discover 7 ways to boost energy naturally and sustainably. 0:00: Introduction: How to boost your energy level 0:58 7 ways to raise your energy 1:20 Magnesium-rich energy-boosting foods 3:33 Ketones to boost energy 4:41 B vitamins for low energy 5:04 Discover my tips for better sleep! In this video, I’m going to tell you how to have more energy every day without using stimulants like coffee or energy drinks! Coffee doesn't give you energy. It gets rid of the fatigue molecule so that you don’t feel tired. Glucose and sugar might seem to give you an energy boost, but they actually make you tired! Here are 7 ways to raise your energy levels naturally without a crash. 1. Magnesium Magnesium is a cofactor to make ATP, which is like the battery source for the body. The #1 symptom of low magnesium is fatigue. Magnesium-rich foods include spinach, almonds, avocado, and fish. 2. Sodium-potassium pump The sodium-potassium pump in your cells allows you to generate an electrical charge that powers your muscles and your nervous system. Adequate sodium and potassium intake is crucial for healthy energy levels. Electrolyte powder can help if you’re not consuming enough sodium and potassium from your diet. 3. Mitochondrial biogenesis Creating more mitochondria through consistent exercise can boost energy levels. Fasting, intermittent fasting, cold therapy, and polyphenols can also increase mitochondria. Polyphenols are found in certain vegetables, herbs, berries, and dark chocolate. 4. Ketones If you follow a keto diet, you can get your body running on ketones. Ketones produce more energy than glucose. 5. Carnitine Carnitine is a compound that can help transport fat into the mitochondria. Carnitine helps increase exercise endurance, delays the fatigue factor, and acts as an antioxidant to decrease damage in the muscles. Red meat is the best source of carnitine. 6. Apple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar can be used by the mitochondria as fuel. Add one tablespoon to a glass of water each day. 7. B vitamins B vitamins are intimately involved with every part of your mitochondria that generates ATP from your food. Nutritional yeast is one of the best sources of B vitamins.

In this video, we’re going to take a look at how nutritional deficiencies can stunt growth. Most stunted growth is related to malnutrition. For example, a zinc deficiency can cause you to be shorter. Issues with the pituitary gland can stunt growth because the pituitary gland controls the release of growth hormone. In children, growth hormone helps bones and muscles grow and affects height. In adults, growth hormone preserves protein in your body, aids in weight loss, and has anti-aging properties. Amino acids stimulate human growth hormone. If you’re not consuming enough protein, growth hormone can be diminished. High blood glucose, a high-sugar diet, insulin resistance, and lack of sleep can negatively affect human growth hormone. The liver makes a hormone known as insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1). If you're deficient in this hormone, you may end up on the shorter side. IGF-1 is also triggered by amino acids and zinc. If you’re not consuming enough red meat, fish, and shellfish, you could end up with a zinc deficiency. There is not a lot of zinc in plant foods! The Republic of the Congo has the highest rate of zinc deficiency. In the Republic of the Congo, the diet is primarily composed of rice, grains, corn, and cereals, which are high in phytic acid. Phytic acid blocks zinc which can create a massive zinc deficiency and affect your immune system. Stress, sugar, and insulin resistance can also cause a zinc deficiency. Vitamin D is very important for growth, but many people are deficient. Children don't go outside as much, and they consume large amounts of junk foods, which inhibits vitamin D. Inflammation in the gut also blocks its absorption. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis and intermittent fasting.

Find out why I eat cheese every day and why you should too! 0:00 Introduction: Why I eat cheese every day 0:20 Goat and sheep cheese 1:23 Nutritional benefits of cheese 2:30 Goat cheese and sheep cheese effects on mitochondria 4:07 Other ways to stimulate mitochondrial uncoupling In this video, we’re going to talk about the health benefits of cheese and the best cheese to eat. Cheese is a great protein source, has probiotic properties, and is low in lactose. The best cheeses are goat cheese and sheep cheese. These cheeses contain A2 casein, which is easier on your digestive system than lactose. Surprisingly, the oldest people in the world consume sheep cheese and goat cheese! Cow's milk is around 4% lactose, while cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese vary from 1% to 4% lactose. Goat cheese and sheep cheese are only about .5% lactose. Goat and sheep cheese are higher in protein, vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, B vitamins, calcium, and CLA than cow's milk cheese. CLA helps with exercise performance and weight loss. Around 20% to 30% of the fat in sheep and goat cheese is MCT fat, which is converted directly into ketones. Sheep cheese and goat cheese generate quick energy with little stress on your digestion. Cheese from animals who graze at higher altitudes is higher in polyphenols. When you introduce these polyphenols to your mitochondria, it triggers an uncoupling effect. This means it generates extra energy, which is effective if you’re trying to lose weight. Polyphenols also stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis. Research has shown that people who live longest have more mitochondria uncoupling. Other ways to stimulate mitochondrial uncoupling include exercise, cold therapy, fasting, and consuming other polyphenols like sulforaphane, turmeric, and green tea.

Did you know that bloating after eating could mean you’re on the wrong diet? Find out why you might be bloated and what you can do to fix it. 0:00 Introduction: What causes bloating? 1:02 SIBO and bloating 2:17 The best diet for bloating 2:42 Other causes of bloating 4:03 Important nutrients to reduce bloating and constipation 4:22 What is the right diet? 4:40 Learn more ways to stop bloating! In this video, we’re going to talk about bloating. One of the best indicators of the right or wrong diet is bloating. Bloating is often an issue with the small intestine. Around 90% of digestion occurs in the small intestine. Inflammation, certain medications, and food allergies can irritate the lining of the small intestine and cut down the surface area of the small intestine where digestion occurs. SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) occurs when microbes that belong in the large intestine begin to grow in the small intestine. When you eat, especially fiber, you experience tremendous amounts of bloating because of fermentation. Fermentation is supposed to occur in the large intestine. If it occurs in the small intestine, you’ll experience bloating and gas. Damage, inflammation, or scar tissue in the small intestine can also cause bloating. This is generally caused by a diet of ultra-processed foods like seed oils, synthetic starches, and synthetic sugars. To reduce bloating, try the carnivore diet and intermittent fasting for a few months! Betaine hydrochloride is also beneficial in helping acidify the stomach and reduce bloating. If you’re experiencing bloating, constipation, and your stool floats, this means you’re not digesting fats. This could be caused by an issue with your gallbladder, pancreas, or another function of digestion. In this case, it can be beneficial to cut back on fiber consumption and then slowly increase it over time. This allows the necessary time for your microbes to increase. Fasting can also help increase the diversity of your microbes. Vitamin B1 supports the nervous system so it can be helpful if you’re dealing with constipation. Adequate potassium, magnesium, and sodium are also essential. The best way to know if you’re on the right diet is to assess your bloating. If you’re feeling good, your stools are good, and you’re not experiencing pain or bloating, you’re likely on the right diet.

The incidence of autoimmune disease has tripled since the 50s and 60s. Let’s take a look at why that might be. The immune system works to differentiate our cells and friendly microbes from external pathogens, viruses, and microbes. Autoimmune diseases are typically caused by inflammation. Intestinal permeability, also known as leaky gut, is one of the most common culprits of autoimmune disease. When you have a leaky gut, food particles can leak out of the small intestine and confuse your immune system. Chemicals from our environment can lead to inflammation in the gut. Most of the wheat in America is sprayed with glyphosate, which inflames the gut and destroys the microbiome. It also disturbs certain enzymes in the liver involved in detoxification. If you have gut inflammation, you will have trouble absorbing vitamin D. Vitamin D is the most important vitamin for your immune system. Vitamin D is a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps to prevent autoimmune diseases. Consumption of ultra-processed foods like seed oils, refined sugars, and refined starches also creates inflammation in your gut. Medications like PPIs can potentially contribute to autoimmune disease. Drug-induced lupus is directly linked to the use of PPIs. Stress-induced autoimmune disease is very common. Many people experience a stressful event right before they develop an autoimmune disease. Stress activates cortisol, which paralyzes your immune system. So what’s the solution? 1. Avoid seed oils and grains! Follow a keto diet and consume high-quality animal protein and healthy fats. Cook your vegetables and consume fermented vegetables. If you have bad gut inflammation, try the carnivore diet for a few months. 2. Consume 30,000 to 50,000 IU of vitamin D each day. 3. Consume red meat for L-glutamine or take a supplement. 4. Consume small amounts of colostrum. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis and intermittent fasting.
