Today, I’m going to tell you about the best magnesium supplements and the worst!
Magnesium is vital for the following:
•Energy production
•Vitamin D function
•Vitamin K2 function
•Preventing kidney stones
•Heart health
•Blood pressure
•Preventing muscle cramps
•Preventing migraines
•Sleep
Magnesium supplements contain different forms of magnesium. Let’s take a look at them, starting with the worst.
1. The worst magnesium - Magnesium oxide is the worst yet most common magnesium supplement. It only has a 4% absorption rate. It’s also very expensive!
2. Magnesium sulfate has a 10% absorption rate and a high laxative effect. It may help relax your muscles superficially.
3. Magnesium orotate has a 15% absorption rate. This form of magnesium can penetrate the cell and increase energy. Magnesium orotate also works as an antioxidant and supports the DNA.
4. Magnesium taurate has a 20% absorption rate and supports heart health, blood pressure, and the nervous system.
5. Magnesium lactate has a 25% absorption rate and is more gentle on the GI system. It supports the cardiovascular system and can improve energy. Magnesium lactate is often used topically, which may be beneficial for your muscles.
6. Magnesium citrate has a 30% absorption rate. It can help prevent kidney stones and is good for cardiovascular issues and blood pressure. It can also help with detoxification.
7. Magnesium malate has a 40% absorption rate. It’s beneficial for chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
8. Magnesium threonate has a 75% absorption rate. It supports cognitive function and is a good form of magnesium for sleep.
9. The best magnesium - Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable type of magnesium. There are a lot of magnesium glycinate benefits. It’s gentle on the GI system, helps prevent muscle spasms, supports sleep and relaxation, and reduces stress. Magnesium glycinate may help relieve migraines and won’t interfere with other minerals.
Consider taking 400 mg of magnesium glycinate each night as a maintenance dose. Double this for a therapeutic dose and take throughout the day.

Get ALL Your Vitamins in this MEAL
Is it possible to get all of your vitamins in one meal? In this video, I’ll show you the best foods to eat so you can get the most nutrients in one meal. Learn how to combine the best protein with foods high in vitamins and minerals to create the most nutrient-dense meals.
0:00 Introduction: Foods high in vitamins and minerals
0:16 The best protein
1:45 Vitamin K1
2:03 Vitamin A
2:23 Iron
2:50 B vitamins
3:23 Collagen
3:53 Vitamin D3
4:32 Iodine, selenium, and zinc
5:07 Omega-3 fatty acids
5:30 Magnesium and potassium
6:03 Vitamin E
6:40 Vitamin C
7:10 The best nutrient sources
DATA:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15531486/
Let’s look at the best food sources of the most important vitamins and minerals. When it comes to protein, grass-fed beef, lamb, and goat are the best sources.
People often think carrots are high in vitamin A, but they don't contain the active form. Retinol, the active form of vitamin A, is found in liver, fish, cod liver oil, and egg yolk.
There are two types of iron: non-heme iron, found in plants, which is not very absorbable, and heme iron, found in liver and red meat.
Red meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and liver are all excellent sources of B vitamins. You can get B vitamins from grains, but grains contain phytic acid, which blocks the absorption of trace minerals. Nutritional yeast and sunflower seeds are also good sources of B vitamins.
Collagen is a protein that makes up ⅓ of the body's protein. Consuming the skin from meat and fish, bone broth, and organ meats can help supply the body with collagen.
Cod liver oil, sardines, and fatty fish help provide vitamin D3, but the sun is the best source. Supplements can be helpful if you can't get enough sunshine.
Shellfish, cod, dairy, eggs, sea kelp, and sea salt are the best sources of iodine. Shellfish, organ meat, red meat, and Brazil nuts are the best sources of selenium. Oysters, beef, organ meats, and pumpkin seeds are the best sources of zinc.
Fatty fish is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids. You can get ALA from algae, the precursor to omega-3 fatty acids.
Fish and dairy contain magnesium, but not very much. Pumpkin seeds, greens, and chocolate are the best food sources. Animal foods are also not the best source of potassium. Consume plenty of greens and avocado to help get potassium.
Check out these meal ideas that include foods high in nutrients:
•Steak, eggs, salad
•Burger, cheese, sauerkraut
•Liver, onions, cauliflower
•Egg, avocado
•Sardines, tomato
•Tuna salad with nutritional yeast
•Salmon, carrots, Brussels sprouts
•Shellfish, mashed cauliflower
•Short ribs, cheese, tomato

You Will NEVER Eat Bread Again after Watching This
I’m sure you’ve heard that bread is bad, but why? You may never eat bread again after watching this! Gluten in bread is the only protein humans can’t digest. Gluten side effects include gut inflammation and health conditions like celiac disease. Watch this video to find out why you should stop eating bread now!
0:00 Introduction: Never eat this again!
1:30 Good bread vs. bad bread
1:46 Gluten in bread
2:32 Gluten side effects
3:19 Einkorn flour
6:40 Bread in the U.S.
Link to More Bread Recipes Here: https://drbrg.co/3T7xZbd
Try this healthy Keto-Friendly Einkorn Bread recipe!
Ingredients
•1/2 cup Einkorn flour
•1 cup almond flour
•1/4 cup coconut flour
•1/4 cup ground flaxseed
•2 teaspoons baking powder
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
•1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
•4 large eggs
•1/4 cup melted butter
•1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
•1 teaspoon stevia or erythritol (optional, for a sweeter taste)
•1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, for a more savory flavor)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment.
2. Combine dry ingredients (Einkorn, almond, and coconut flours, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum). Mix until thoroughly combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, melted butter, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and sweetener). Ensure the wet ingredients are well blended.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture forms a thick batter. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in optional ingredients such as shredded cheese, herbs, or spices.
6. Transfer batter to loaf pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula to ensure the mixture is evenly distributed.
7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the bread has cooled, slice it with a sharp bread knife. Serve it plain, toasted, or with your favorite keto-friendly toppings like avocado, butter, or cheese.
Einkorn is an ancient grain that has not been altered in a long time. Einkorn bread doesn’t have quite the same texture or mouthfeel as bread that's high in gluten, but it's close, and very few people have gut reactions to it.
Modern grains are very high in phytic acid—a compound that binds with minerals such as zinc, iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium, and copper. Phytic acid is not absorbed in the small intestine, so you won’t be able to absorb the minerals it binds with.
Some cultures that consume high amounts of bread have zinc and iron deficiencies because of the phytic acid.
In the U.S., bread sometimes contains BVO or potassium bromate, ingredients banned in Europe. Wheat in the U.S. is often dried out with glyphosate, the chemical found in Roundup. Toasting bread creates acrylamide, which may lead to cancer.

I used to look like this…
Are you waking up with a puffy face and don't know why? In this video, we’ll explore the causes of puffy face syndrome or fat face syndrome, how to identify facial bloating, and the best ways to reduce face puffiness naturally. Whether it’s due to water retention, inflammation, high cortisol, or other health factors, you’ll discover simple tips and remedies to get rid of a swollen face. From natural de-puffing techniques to understanding the connection between diet and facial swelling, this video has all you need to know to get your face back to normal.
Check out these 5 tips to help you get rid of a puffy, high-cortisol face!
One of the most common symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome is a “moon face.” Cushing’s syndrome is characterized by high levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
Chronic high cortisol over a period of time can cause fat face syndrome. It can also be caused by the drug Prednisone.
Cortisol can redistribute fat to different parts of the body, causing you to store fat in the face and the midsection. Over time, it can cause a hump on the back, red cheeks, thinner legs, and weak muscles in the legs and buttocks.

4:10 What triggers insulin?
6:27 How to get rid of high cortisol face
Your cholesterol and lipids may rise, and you’ll start losing potassium and retaining sodium. This sends your blood pressure straight up, vitamin D levels decrease, and your immune system suffers.
Cortisol indirectly causes a puffy face by breaking down protein and turning it into glucose. This spikes insulin, a fat-storing hormone. In the presence of too much insulin, you won't be able to lose fat.
Carbohydrates, frequent eating, seed oils, nutrient deficiencies, stress, overexercising, and certain medications also trigger insulin.
Try these 5 tips to reshape your face.
1. Eat less frequently
Cut out the snacks between the meals and do intermittent fasting. This forces your body to use body fat as fuel between meals.
2. Change your diet
Cut down your carb intake, specifically avoiding sugar and starch. Print my card cutout that shows you the ingredients to avoid!
3. Increase protein
Look for high-quality grass-fed meat such as beef, lamb, or goat.
4. Lower stress levels
Go for long walks, exercise, and do physical work. Avoid excessive phone use.
5. Try to get extra sleep
Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Even if you wake up early, try to go back to sleep if possible!

You Will NEVER Eat Sugar Again after This Video
Did you know that sugar can be addicting? Find out how to get rid of sugar cravings and deal with sugar addiction with these 3 tips!
0:00 Introduction: How to stop eating sugar
0:34 Sugar addiction explained
3:15 How to break sugar addiction
3:40 Tips to reduce sugar cravings
6:08 Dealing with sugar addiction
Let's talk about the side effects of sugar and how to cut sugar from the diet. The average person consumes 74 teaspoons of sugar per day. Since there are over 200 different names for sugar and types of hidden sugar, many people don’t realize how much they’re consuming.
Food addiction expert Dr. Joan Ifland explains that you get a surge of dopamine when you consume sugar. The dopamine cells in your brain are not equipped to handle this surge, which is why you crash within 20 minutes. Over time, the dopamine receptor stops working, and you will need more sugar to achieve the same dopamine surge.
You can reverse sugar addiction and get your body into a state of fat-burning called ketosis in as little as 72 hours! You will no longer crave sugar.
Willpower alone does not usually get rid of sugar cravings. To get into ketosis and eliminate sugar cravings, you have to get your body to burn fat.
Try these tips to get into ketosis and eliminate your sugar cravings for good:
1. Keep your carbs below 30 grams per day.
2. Change your environment and get your friends and family on board. Hide junk food or remove it from your house altogether.
3. Find pick-me-ups other than sugar. Exercise, dancing, music, laughter, long walks, nature, and helping others can increase endorphins and oxytocin without depleting your dopamine receptors. Physical work is also very therapeutic.
If you fall off the wagon and give in to sugar cravings, don't beat yourself up. Use it as a learning experience! Consume protein and fat to minimize the damage caused by a slip-up.

0:00 Introduction: Common vitamin D deficiency symptoms
1:30 11 surprising vitamin D deficiency signs
5:56 Vitamin D3 deficiency explained
9:40 How much vitamin D should I take?
13:30 Take vitamin D3 with the cofactors
Today, I’m going to tell you about some of the symptoms that you probably didn’t know were related to vitamin D deficiency. The most common signs that you’re vitamin D deficient include lower back pain, depression, high blood pressure, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.
Blood tests only show you the inactive form of vitamin D and don't tell you about vitamin D at the cellular level. Instead, look out for some of the surprising signs of vitamin D deficiency.
1. Head sweating
This is typically seen in infants but can also be seen in teenagers and adults.
2. Sweating more at night
If you’re vitamin D deficient, you may sweat excessively, even if the room is cool. You might also wake up with a moist pillow.
3. Mood swings
Vitamin D controls mood regulation, so if you’re deficient, you could experience a range of moods in a short time.
4. Procrastinating
If you constantly put things off for later, you could be vitamin D deficient!
5. Panic attacks
Low vitamin D levels can cause panic attacks, so try taking high doses of vitamin D3 if you’re experiencing them.
6. Achiness
Achiness in the pelvis, lower back, hips, and upper legs is often a sign of low vitamin D.
7. Loss of muscle strength
If you have low vitamin D, you won’t have enough calcium in the muscles. Calcium allows the muscle to contract and is also involved in muscle production.
8. Stiffness
Stiffness related to vitamin D deficiency usually occurs in the knees and fingers. This is related to inflammation, weakened cartilage, and weakened collagen.
9. Chronic fatigue
Vitamin D supports your mitochondria, the energy factories of the cell. Without enough vitamin D, you can’t make energy.
10. Slowed down thinking
Vitamin D deficiency can cause diminished cognitive function.
11. Difficulty feeling satisfied
If you’re vitamin D deficient, you might not feel satisfied after eating, and you’ll have a tendency to overeat.
Consider taking around 10,000 to 20,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day, along with the cofactors magnesium, vitamin K2, zinc, and vitamin B6.

7 Bad Habits That Can Ruin Your Liver
Avoid these 7 liver-damaging habits to prevent liver disease and a fatty liver. These habits destroy liver health!
0:00 Introduction: What causes liver problems?
0:10 Over-the-counter pills
0:26 Liver damage from Tylenol
1:13 Sedentary lifestyle and liver damage
2:30 Poor diet and eating habits
7:18 Stress and liver health
8:20 Alcohol
9:58 Vitamin deficiencies
1. Over-the-counter pills
Tylenol is the number 1 cause of acute liver failure. Many people don’t realize the dangers of over-the-counter medications. Some people even take them routinely.
Milk thistle increases liver regeneration and has unique properties that support liver health. NAC also protects the liver.
2. Sedentary lifestyle
Eating calories that you’re not burning off causes damage and oxidative stress at the cellular level. Exercise can burn off excess fuel, strengthen the immune system, increase oxygen throughout the body, and reduce stress. Try to get into the habit of regular exercise or physical work.
3. Unhealthy diet
Seed oil combined with starch or sugar is the basis for almost all junk food and is highly damaging to the body, especially the liver. These foods create insulin resistance in the liver, which is at the root of chronic health concerns such as belly fat, obesity, fatty liver, and high blood pressure.
4. Eating for convenience
Many people live busy lives and eat on the go. This usually means fast food, poor-quality food, and poor-quality protein, which is damaging to liver health. Take the time to prepare your meals and plan what you will eat for the week.
5. Stress
Stress can cause sleep problems that interfere with your blood sugar levels. Chronic stress can even activate dormant viruses. Vitamin B1, vitamin D, exercise, and long walks can all help reduce stress.
6. Alcohol
Alcohol goes straight to the liver! Mixed drinks are the worst because they contain alcohol and sugar. Avoid making alcohol a part of your everyday routine.
7. Vitamin deficiencies
Phytonutrients are essential for liver function. Consume cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and arugula regularly to help the liver detoxify. Salads with garlic and onion, grass-fed beef, and wild fish are rich in nutrients that help protect the liver.

You Will Never Get High Blood Pressure after Watching This Video
After watching this video, you may never have high blood pressure again! Find out about the root cause of hypertension.
Vitamin D Toxicity:
▶️ https://youtu.be/H_U5QRk_Wrc
▶️ https://youtu.be/-f4XYmrWIas
▶️ https://youtu.be/uAfVC4l5uZ0
0:00 Introduction: Essential hypertension
1:04 High blood pressure causes
2:12 Vitamin D deficiency and high blood pressure
3:02 Genetic high blood pressure
3:48 Insulin resistance and hypertension
4:43 Vitamin D and calcium
6:11 High blood pressure medication
6:46 How to lower blood pressure
Today, I’m going to tell you how to prevent hypertension and how to get rid of it if you already have it. Around 95% of high blood pressure is classified as essential high blood pressure, which means the cause is unknown.
Around 20% of the time, hypertensive medication doesn’t work because blood pressure is just a symptom of an underlying problem! If you treat a symptom and don’t address the root cause, you’re only camouflaging the problem.
Vitamin D deficiency can cause hypertension. Your body's water pressure control system runs higher if you’re low in vitamin D, causing vasoconstriction in the arteries and increasing blood pressure. When this system goes up, it also causes sodium retention. More sodium and more water mean higher blood pressure.
Potassium protects against excess sodium, but most people don’t get enough. You need 4700 mg daily.
The risk of high blood pressure goes up during the winter when vitamin D is lower due to lower sun exposure. If you have darker skin, you’re at an increased risk of high blood pressure and vitamin D deficiency.
Genetic high blood pressure problems are usually associated with a genetic problem with vitamin D. Insulin resistance is also connected to high blood pressure.
If you eat a lot of carbs or snacks frequently, you may develop insulin resistance, a precursor for high blood glucose and the root cause of many chronic health concerns, including a fatty liver, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and belly fat.
If there's too much calcium in your arteries, they can become stiff, increasing your blood pressure. Vitamin K2 can help direct calcium to the bone and teeth. It’s also vital that you have enough magnesium to prevent calcium buildup and clotting.
High blood pressure is typically treated with calcium channel blockers and beta blockers. Magnesium may act as a natural calcium channel blocker and beta blocker.
Try the following 4 things to lower blood pressure naturally:
1. 10,000 to 20,000 IU of vitamin D daily
2. 800 mg of magnesium glycinate daily
3. Low-carb diet
4. Increase potassium intake

7 Early Signs of Liver Damage
Find out about 7 surprising liver damage symptoms you might not think are connected to the liver. Spot liver disease before it’s too late!
0:00 Introduction: 7 early signs of liver damage
0:45 Alcoholic fatty liver disease vs. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
1:06 Early signs of liver damage
4:56 The thyroid and liver problems
6:55 What causes liver damage?
In this video, I’ll show you how to spot the early signs of liver damage. Alcoholic fatty liver disease only makes up about 4% of cases. Most liver disease is considered non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Here are 7 surprising liver damage signs:
1. Bulging or tightness under the right rib cage
This bulging can sometimes cause pain in the right shoulder due to pressure on the phrenic nerve.
2. Loss of energy
This will differ from fatigue and affect your endurance, especially during exercise. You may feel tired after eating or need to go to bed early. You might also experience weakness or a loss of vitality and strength.
3. Itchiness
Many people with liver damage experience itchiness on the bottoms of their feet, but it can occur anywhere on the body. This is caused by bile salts backing up into the tissues and is often more noticeable at night.
4. Red dots or spider veins
High levels of estrogen can cause red dots and spider veins. Men with high levels of estrogen may develop increased breast tissue, while women may experience symptoms of estrogen dominance.
5. Thyroid problems
Liver damage can inhibit proper thyroid function. Symptoms like fatigue, loss of hair, high cholesterol, and dry skin are symptoms of a lowered-functioning thyroid.
6. Low vitamin D
Many people are deficient in vitamin D, and this problem worsens with liver damage. Inflammation, a weakened immune system, and muscle problems can also indicate low vitamin D.
7. Dark urine
Liver damage will cause your urine to be darker and may also cause it to have a strong smell.
The cause of a fatty liver, inflamed liver, and liver cirrhosis can be narrowed down to one root cause—the consumption of sugar, starches, and seed oils.
Eliminating these ingredients from the diet may help reverse fatty liver and other chronic health conditions.

These Foods Are Basically Poison
These foods are promoted as healthy, but after watching this, you’ll never eat them again! Find out about the 7 foods you should never eat.
Check out Beating the Food Giants:
https://www.amazon.com/Beating-Food-Giants-PaulStitt/dp/0939956063
0:00 Introduction: 7 foods to never eat again
0:22 Granola bars
2:24 Agave syrup
3:44 Flavored yogurt
5:30 Non-dairy creamersa
6:24 Soy milk
7:09 Fast food salad
8:10 Puffed cereals
1. Granola bars
Nature Valley granola bars contain bioengineered food ingredients, which means they’re GMO. GMO foods contain glyphosate, an herbicide linked to cancer. Granola bars also contain sugar (probably beet sugar), seed oils, and refined starches. One Nature Valley granola bar serving contains almost 7 teaspoons of sugar!
2. Agave syrup
This sweetener is often considered diabetic or keto-friendly because it’s low on the glycemic index. Agave is 85% fructose, which the liver must process. The liver treats fructose the same way as alcohol—like a toxin!
3. Flavored yogurt
You probably wouldn’t consider flavored yogurt as junk food because it’s marketed as a healthy, convenient probiotic rich in calcium and protein. At 30 grams of sugar per serving, most flavored yogurts have more sugar than a candy bar! Many probiotics in flavored yogurt won't even survive your stomach acid.
Look for whole-fat yogurt, Bulgarian yogurt, or Greek yogurt without the added sugar. Kefir is an even better option and has significantly more friendly bacteria.
4. Non-dairy creamers
Non-dairy creamers are often considered a healthy alternative to milk but contain unhealthy ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, and trans fats. Check the ingredients to ensure they don’t contain soy, corn, canola, or cottonseed oil. It’s best to just use regular cream or half-and-half.
5. Soy milk
Soy products like soy milk can cause estrogenic effects like the development of breast tissue in men. Soy milk is not really milk at all!
6. Fast-food lettuce
Dressings on fast-food salads contain seed oils, trans fats, hidden starches, and high fructose corn syrup. Fast-food lettuce is coated in a preservative called sodium bisulfite and rinsed in a chlorine wash.
7. Puffed cereals/rice cakes
A chemist who worked for Quaker studied rats and noticed they would die after being fed puffed cereal.

I Get 20 Tick Bites Every Week (Lyme Disease)
I get 20 tick bites weekly and don’t have Lyme disease! Find out about your best defense against Lyme disease.
DATA:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2679197/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3693087/
0:00 Introduction: Conventional Lyme disease treatment
0:55 Ticks and Lyme disease
2:37 Spirochetes
4:02 Lyme disease and vitamin D
5:24 Post-treatment Lyme disease
6:00 Understanding vitamin D
9:12 Preventing Lyme disease with vitamin D
In this video, I’m going to share my secret to preventing Lyme disease. Lyme disease is usually treated with antibiotics, which kill not only the bad bacteria but also the good bacteria, lowering the immune system.
Some people will develop a resistance to antibiotics, which may result in problems such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune disease after Lyme disease treatment.
There are over 900 different species of ticks. Some ticks carry Lyme bacteria, a corkscrew bacteria called a spirochete. These bacteria can penetrate many different tissues and evade your immune system by hiding in tissues without immune cells.
A tick bite usually causes redness that could develop into a bull’s eye rash, a common indicator of Lyme disease.
Corkscrew bacteria can invade the heart and cause palpitations. They also have a defense mechanism that can keep them alive even after they’ve been engulfed by your immune cells. Spirochetes downgrade your receptors for vitamin D, the most important vitamin of the entire immune system.
Vitamin D strengthens your monocytes and makes them more efficient. It also increases antimicrobial peptides that help kill spirochetes.
There are 2 main systems of vitamin D. One controls calcium, while the other supports the immune cells, heart, muscles, central nervous system, and intestines. The latter system depends on vitamin D from the sun, your food, and supplements. This vitamin D only lasts for 24 hours in the body.
If you suspect you have Lyme disease, you may want to try taking at least 30,000 IU of vitamin D daily, even if you’re taking antibiotics. Anytime you take vitamin D3, you also need adequate magnesium, vitamin K2, and zinc.
Japanese knotweed and garlic can also be beneficial for Lyme disease.

NEVER IGNORE These Warning Signs!
Find out about some of the common vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms you never want to ignore.
0:00 Introduction: The importance of vitamin B12
0:55 Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms
3:18 Vitamin B12 foods
4:48 Vitamin B12 function
5:15 Vitamin B12 deficiency causes
6:04 Vitamin B12 supplements
It’s often thought that only vegans and vegetarians need to worry about vitamin B12 deficiencies, but there are many ways to become deficient in this important nutrient.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can decrease your ability to make and repair DNA, increasing your risk for cancer. Vitamin B12 supports the myelin sheaths around your neurons, and a deficiency can cause anemia.
Early signs and symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and tingling in the fingertips and toes.
Over time, you may notice more symptoms of B12 deficiency, including the following:
•Red, swollen, shiny tongue
•Mouth ulcers
•Out of breath easily
•Dizziness if you stand up too quickly
•Cognitive problems
•Anxiety
•Circadian rhythm issues
•Depression
•Vitiligo
If you have a severe B12 deficiency, you may have problems walking, severe muscle weakness, and severe psychiatric problems, such as hallucinations and paranoia. Severe B12 deficiency can also cause permanent, irreversible nerve damage.
If you don’t regularly consume animal products, you could become deficient in vitamin B12. Try incorporating vitamin B12 foods such as clams, liver, sardines, red meat, tuna, salmon, grass-fed dairy, and eggs into your diet.
If you have low stomach acid, you will have trouble absorbing vitamin B12. A genetic problem known as polymorphism can also interfere with vitamin B12 absorption.
If you take vitamin B12 supplements, take the natural form called methylcobalamin. A healthy liver, small intestine, and acidic stomach are vital for vitamin B12 to be absorbed and function properly in the body.

#1 Vitamin to Eliminate Swollen Legs and Ankles
Find out about the underlying cause of edema and the key nutrients that can help.
0:00 Introduction: How to reduce swelling in legs, ankles, and feet
0:30 What is edema?
1:44 Edema explained
3:20 High blood sugar and fluid retention
3:55 How to get rid of edema
5:24 Vitamin B1 and edema
Today, we’re going to talk about edema causes and remedies. Swollen legs are often a symptom of edema and are typically blamed on liver, kidney, or heart problems.
Did you know that edema and pitting edema may be able to be fixed without a blood thinner or diuretic?
Water retention in the lower legs is caused by a problem with the sodium-potassium pumps in your cells. If these pumps aren’t working correctly, water retention outside the cells, known as interstitial fluid retention, will occur.
When you have swollen ankles, it’s usually the result of high blood sugar connected to the hemoglobin protein in your blood. This is called glycation, which inhibits the blood cell’s ability to carry nutrition and oxygen throughout the body. Glycated proteins can also block circulation, leading to swollen legs and swollen ankles.
High blood sugar causes sodium retention, which also contributes to water retention. Over time, this can affect the nerves in the bottom of the feet, causing numbness and tingling, known as peripheral neuropathy. Even if you don’t yet have diabetes, edema can be caused by high blood sugar.
To help eliminate edema, you must ensure you’re getting plenty of potassium, which can be difficult to achieve through diet alone. The average person needs 4700 mg of potassium daily! Avocados, salads, and berries can help you meet this requirement.
You also need plenty of magnesium to help eliminate edema. Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and leafy greens are good sources of magnesium. Aim for 420 mg of magnesium daily. High-quality electrolyte powder without hidden sugars can help increase potassium and magnesium intake.
Vitamin B1 deficiency is likely behind issues with the sodium-potassium pump. For sugar to be turned into usable energy in the body, you need vitamin B1. Consuming too many refined carbohydrates can cause a vitamin B1 deficiency.
Vitamin B1, potassium, and magnesium can help eliminate edema, but you must also eliminate sugar from your diet.

The Best STRETCH to Stop Sciatica Pain
Say goodbye to sciatic nerve pain by addressing 3 nutrient deficiencies and incorporating 2 simple sciatica exercises.
0:00 Introduction: 3 nutrient deficiencies behind sciatica
0:39 The sciatic nerve
1:30 Surgery for sciatic nerve pain
2:19 Sciatic pain and vitamin D
4:21 Magnesium deficiency and sciatica
5:40 Vitamin B12 and sciatic nerve pain
7:30 Sciatica pain relief exercises
Today, I’m going to share a few natural sciatica pain remedies! The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in the body. It extends from the lower back, down the back of the leg, to the bottom of the foot.
Surgery for sciatica can cause side effects like failed back surgery syndrome. Because 90% of sciatica pain will often resolve by itself, invasive procedures are best saved as a last resort.
Sciatic pain often gets worse in the winter, which would explain why vitamin D deficiency is a major contributor. If you’re dealing with inflammation, you need high amounts of vitamin D daily.
Vitamin D is a potent anti-inflammatory and works similarly to Prednisone without the side effects. It helps to repair the nerves, disc, connective tissue, and muscles involved with sciatica.
Magnesium deficiency can also contribute to sciatica because it’s essential for keeping your muscles relaxed. You also need adequate magnesium for vitamin D to work in the body.
Vitamin B12 is involved with several aspects of the nervous system and can cause numbness, tingling, and burning pain if you’re deficient. It’s highly anti-inflammatory, and a deficiency can also contribute to sciatica.
Most people don't get enough sun, so unless you’re taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D each day, you could end up deficient. If you have sciatica, try upping your dose of vitamin D3 to 20,000 to 30,000 IU daily.
Around 800 mg of magnesium each day can be beneficial for sciatica. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, almonds, leafy greens, bone broth, and spinach are good food sources of magnesium.
Red meat and other animal products provide plenty of vitamin B12.
Try these simple sciatica exercises focused on stretching the fascia to say goodbye to your sciatic nerve pain!

Fastest Way to Rid Your DOUBLE CHIN (Turkey Neck)
Get rid of a double chin (turkey neck for good) with these 4 simple face exercises!
0:00 Introduction: How to get rid of a double chin
0:25 Fascia
1:02 4 double chin exercises
1:12 Double chin exercise #1
1:57 Double chin exercise #2
2:38 Double chin exercise #3
3:44 Double chin exercise #4
Today, I’m going to show you four easy double chin exercises that can get rid of a turkey neck for good. Because of the typical loose skin, a double chin is often referred to as a turkey neck. If you do these double chin exercises on a regular basis, you will see massive improvement!
As we age, we develop loose skin, especially under the neck, which does not get much exercise.
There’s a superficial and a deep layer of connective tissue called fascia under the skin on your neck. The muscles and fascia in your neck are responsible for head flexion, chin movement, and jaw movement.
The first face exercise works the muscle that pulls the jaw down when you open your mouth. The next exercise, which looks like a frown, activates the superficial fascia. The third exercise creates an elongation and deep stretch of the fascia. The fourth and final exercise allows for head flexion to strengthen and tone the fascia.
Remember, If you don't use it, you lose it! Stretching, strengthening, and tightening the fascia with these simple double chin exercises can eliminate a turkey neck!

4 Common Ingredients That Will Kill You!
These 4 foods can shave years off of your lifespan! Find out about the dangerous ingredients found in 99% of the foods that kill.
4 Dangerous Ingredients to Avoid – Wallet Cutout Card: https://drbrg.co/4fCumUs
0:00 Introduction: 4 ingredients that will kill you
1:00 Junk food ingredients
2:45 Nutrition facts vs. ingredients
3:05 The 4 common ingredients in junk food
4:38 Click the link to download my printout card!
In this video, we’re going to talk about 4 common ingredients found in 99% of all junk foods that can shorten your life. You won’t understand which foods to avoid until you know the ingredients.
Hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate, interesterified soybean oil, hydrolyzed corn oil, maltodextrin, dextrose, and dextrin are chemical names for common junk food ingredients. Companies use these names to cause confusion.
It’s important to look beyond nutrition facts and read the ingredients because not all calories are the same. Calories from high fructose corn syrup are not the same as fructose from fruit. Synthetic starches differ from the starch found in vegetables, and there’s a big difference between cane sugar and synthetic sugars like glucose syrup.
Check the ingredient list and avoid these foods!
1. Sugar
2. Starches
3. Seed oils
4. Refined proteins
Soy protein isolates and A1 beta-casein create inflammation and should be avoided. You’ll also want to avoid wheat gluten.
Print out my convenient cutout card to keep in your wallet so you’ll know which foods to avoid on the go!

These Mistakes Are Super Unhealthy!
Don’t make these 11 common mistakes with your supplements! Find out how to maximize your results from supplements by using them correctly.
Check out my interview with Dr. Bruce Hollis: ▶️ https://youtu.be/QAQ7r6jLEww
0:00 Introduction: 11 common mistakes with supplements
0:28 When to take supplements
1:35 Too many supplements
3:36 Cheap supplements
7:40 Taking bad advice about supplements
10:30 Supplement dosage
Today, we’re going to talk about some of the common mistakes people make with supplements.
1. People often wonder what time of the day they should take their supplements. Taking your supplements in the morning can give you the energy you need for the day. Avoid taking electrolytes before bed and calcium supplements before eating. Some people benefit from vitamin D supplements in the morning, while some benefit from taking them before bed.
2. Avoid swallowing too many supplements at once!
3. Introduce supplements one at a time to learn what works and doesn’t for your particular health problem.
4. Supplements won’t work if you have a poor diet. Make sure to get enough protein and limit your carbs.
5. Cheap vitamins contain cheap ingredients. Many cheap supplements and daily vitamins contain calcium carbonate, the type of calcium found in cement. They also contain fillers and dyes! Synthetic vitamins, except niacin and benfotiamine, often have side effects and should be avoided.
6. Avoid taking supplements and drugs together at the same time for the same problem.
7. Certain vitamins work synergistically with others, so you have to take those particular supplements together. For example, if you’re taking high doses of vitamin D, you must also take adequate magnesium. Similarly, high doses of zinc over time can cause a copper deficiency.
8. Don’t take advice about supplements from people who don’t know the data.
9. Many people don’t take a high enough dosage of their supplements to see results. You often need to take more than the RDA to produce a therapeutic effect.
10. If you’re a vegan, you must take supplements to prevent deficiencies. Vitamin B12, vitamin D3, omega-3s, iron, zinc, iodine, and calcium are all vital for your health.
11. Use the correct dosage of your supplement to see results. Your paracrine/autocrine system needs about 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily!

I Took Omega-3 Fish Oil for 30 Days. Here's What Happened.
What would happen if you consumed fish oil for 30 days? Find out about the amazing health benefits of fish oil.
0:00 Introduction: What would happen if you consumed fish oil for 30 days?
0:22 Omega-3 benefits
3:02 Insulin and omega-3 fatty acids
3:48 Reproductive benefits of fish oil
4:13 Choosing the best fish oil
5:25 Omega-3 foods
Today, we’re going to talk about fish oil benefits and the importance of omega-3 fatty acids. Both cod liver oil and fish oil contain omega-3 fatty acids, with the addition of vitamin A and vitamin D in cod liver oil.
Around 25% of the fat in your brain is the omega-3 fatty acid, DHA. Most of this fat is in the frontal cortex, which supports memory, focus, concentration, and attention. DHA supports the integrity of the membranes around the neurons and supports the retina. It also protects against inflammation, UV radiation, and macular degeneration.
Omega-3 fatty acids keep skin smooth and protect against acne, psoriasis, eczema, dry skin, red skin, and ultraviolet light. They can also help remineralize bone, decrease the risk of osteoporosis, and improve arthritis and joint inflammation.
Taking cod liver oil or fish oil for 30 days has even more potential benefits, including the following:
•Supports liver health
•Helps regulate blood sugar
•Helps reverse insulin resistance
•Supports inside of the arteries
•Reduces symptoms of asthma and allergies
•Supports fertility
•Helps eliminate soreness and inflammation after exercise
Avoid choosing fish oil based on price alone. Some fish oils are poor quality and may be rancid or oxidized. Know the source of your fish oil to avoid getting a product contaminated with heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, or mercury.
Fish oil and cod liver oil may taste like fish, but they shouldn’t have a rancid taste. To minimize the taste, try looking for supplements in pearl form.
Omega-3 foods include fatty fish such as wild-caught salmon, herring, mackerel, and sardines. Shellfish and grass-fed dairy products also contain omega-3 fatty acids.

This Is a DEADLY Combination
Caffeine and sugar are a powerful combination and not the best choice for sustained energy. Learn more and discover the lasting effects of energy drinks.
0:00 Introduction: Is caffeine bad for you?
2:37 The effects of sugar
3:08 Do you have low blood sugar?
9:02 The effects of caffeine
10:35 How do I get more energy?
Find out why combining sugar and caffeine is not the best choice for chronic fatigue and why it might even make the problem worse.
Rockstar energy drinks contain 16 teaspoons of synthetic industrial sugar, which is terrible for your liver. Monster energy drinks contain 14 ½ teaspoons of sugar, and Nos energy drinks have 13 ½ teaspoons. All three of these energy drinks have more sugar than Coca-Cola, paired with 160 mg of caffeine.
Gatorade and Powerade also contain more sugar than Coca-Cola. Celsius energy drinks don't contain sugar, but contain sucralose, which causes similar damage in the body. They also contain a whopping 270 mg of caffeine!
Sugar combined with caffeine creates a ticking time bomb in the body. If you have low blood sugar, sugar will give you a temporary mental boost in energy, followed by a crash. Symptoms of low blood sugar include irritability, brain fog, weakness, and fatigue, but you wouldn’t have low blood sugar if you didn’t consume sugar in the first place.
Real energy in the body comes from the mitochondria in the form of ATP. The food you eat is converted into energy with the help of important cofactors such as B vitamins, CoQ10, magnesium, iron, sulfur, and lipoic acid. Sugar from energy drinks contains no cofactors, so you deplete your nutrient reserves when you consume them.
Caffeine doesn’t give you energy—it blocks the chemical compound that makes you sleepy. The problem with energy drinks is that they contain too much caffeine.
Too much caffeine increases adrenaline, which increases your heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiovascular stress. Caffeine is a diuretic, so it can cause dehydration. It can also cause adrenal fatigue and sleep problems over time.
The better solution is to correct the diet for sustained energy. Proper nutrition, electrolytes, and salt should give you plenty of energy.
