Beschreibung

Could the root cause of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension really be the same? In this video, I’ll show you how to prevent chronic illness by effectively addressing the root cause, rather than just the symptom. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] The right “prompt” to analyze your DNA report: If you were asking ChatGPT to analyze your DNA from an ancestral mismatch lens, a great prompt would be: “Based on my genetic report, identify which genes show adaptations to ancestral diets (hunter-gatherer, farming, natural). Then, explain how these same genes may create a mismatch with modern diets and environments. For each, show practical consequences and strategies to thrive today.” Chapters: 0:00 Introduction: The #1 root cause of chronic disease 0:20 Medicine ignores the root cause of health problems 1:23 What causes chronic disease? 4:45 Genetics and chronic disease 10:16 Tips for chronic disease prevention Medicine aims to label a disease and treat the symptoms with medication. Medication comes with side effects, which are then treated with more medication. Focusing on the root cause of health problems could help avoid numerous issues. Genetics plays a role in disease and immunity, but there’s more to it. Genetics can provide clues about potential health issues we may encounter if our diet and environment are not quite right. Try these chronic disease prevention tips to overcome genetic predispositions and address the root cause of your health problem: 1. Go outside for sun exposure within 60 minutes of waking up. 2. Dim the lights 90 minutes before you go to bed. 3. Keep your bedtime and wake time consistent. 4. Work out regularly on a consistent schedule. 5. No eating 4 hours before bed. 6. Eat during a 6 to 8-hour window. 7. Go on a 10 to 15-minute walk after eating. 8. Consume something fermented with every meal. 9. Spend time in nature at least 3 times per week. 10. Put your hands in the soil. 11. Use an air purifier in the house. 12. Use a water filter or drink mineral water. 13. Use fragrance-free hair and skin care. 14. Use stainless steel or chemical-free cookware. 15. Don’t keep ultra-processed foods in the house. 16. Limit eating out at restaurants. 17. Use a sauna/hot shower/cold bath regularly. 18. Try nasal breathing for sleep and stress relief. 19. Take hourly breaks from the computer. 20. Try using white noise for sleep.

Episode American Heart Association Resisted Prohibiting Junk Food Cover

American Heart Association Resisted Prohibiting Junk Food

The American Heart Association is supposed to work to prevent heart disease, the #1 killer worldwide. Surprisingly, the AHA openly opposed the SNAP reform bill, which would prevent the purchase of junk food with SNAP. Is the American Heart Association really trying to keep us on a “heart-healthy” diet? Find out in this video. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: AHA exposed! 0:30 The American Heart Association and the SNAP reform bill 2:00 Big food and AHA 2:21 American Heart Association Certified 3:15 Government subsidies and the junk food industry 4:20 Should we have SNAP reform? VITAMIN D TEST KIT: 🛒 https://drbrg.co/3RsFicb Dr. Cicero Interview: ▶️    • HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! DATA: https://www.leefang.com/p/sugary-soda... https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-livi... Most people know that the American Heart Association receives funding from the junk food industry, so it may not have come as a surprise that they openly rejected the SNAP reform bill. After much embarrassment, they retracted their statements and claimed to no longer oppose the bill. Soda is the most frequently purchased item under the SNAP program. Soda lobbyists argue that the SNAP reform bill violates the liberty of choosing what you want to eat and drink! Junk food companies are paying social media influencers to oppose the SNAP reform bill and focus on food insecurity. Government subsidies for food first started during the Great Depression, but they have since become much more corrupt. Today, the system continues to make the junk food industry richer. Big Food and Big Pharma continue to benefit from this system at the expense of taxpayers and the health of the American people. The SNAP program should allow people to purchase nutrient-dense foods and prevent the purchase of ultra-processed foods. This would reduce chronic disease and save people money on prescription medications. Junk food companies oppose SNAP reform because a tremendous amount of money is at stake. Soda industry subsidies alone are a 10 billion dollar business! Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 59, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan, and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals.

Learn more about the worst things for your brain so you can better support your brain function moving forward. DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5573220 0:00 Introduction: The worst things for your brain 10:00 Grass-fed beef vs. grain-fed beef for your brain 15:35 Learn more about brain health! Today I’m going to share some of the top things that can severely affect your brain. Top things that negatively affect your brain: 1. Chronic exposure to bad news 2. Toxic personalities 3. Spending too much time inside 4. Low-fat, low-cholesterol diets 5. High-grain diets 6. High-sugar diets 7. Low-stress to no stress at all 8. High-stress 9. Snacking 10. Things that decrease gut microbes 11. Consuming grain-fed animal products One of the most surprising things on this list is grain-fed animal products. I recently participated in an interesting beef nutrient-density study. This study compared the beef from my farm to grass-fed beef and grain-fed beef, looking at factors that contribute to health and disease. It turns out that the beef from my farm was significantly higher in phytonutrients and vitamin B3. It also had a fantastic omega-6 fatty acid to omega-3 fatty acid ratio. Not only that, but the beef I sent was low in glycation end-products and homocysteine, which are both harmful to the brain. Grass-fed beef also did much better than grain-fed beef when looking at these same factors. My beef may have done best because I raise my cattle on pastures with a diversity of weeds for the cows to consume. Overall, it’s crucial to consume grass-fed, grass-finished beef or 100% grass-fed beef to support your brain and your overall health.

Sugar is bad. But, there is a food that is way worse than sugar. Certain factors can shorten your lifespan—these factors include: • Severe obesity • Heavy smoking • Vegetable oils • Physical inactivity • Heavy drinking • Moderate smoking • Excess sugar • Processed meat • Air pollution • Red meat • Sodium Vegetable oils are one of the most dangerous foods you could include in your diet—even worse than sugar. Vegetable oil isn’t really oil from vegetables. It’s mostly made from seeds, legumes, and grains. Key points on vegetable oils: 1. Over 30% of our calories come from vegetable oil 2. They contain highly inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids 3. Restaurants typically use a lot of vegetable oil 4. One study on unsaturated fats (vegetable oil) found that there was an increased death rate of all causes by 62% when compared to saturated fats 5. Only severe obesity and heavy smoking are more dangerous than vegetable oils 6. One study showed an 86% increase in heart attacks, and after seven years, the number of strokes and heart attacks increased by seven times 7. One study showed an increased risk of cancer by 82% 8. Deep-fried foods are some of the worst because the oil is often reheated Consider replacing your vegetable oils with olive oil, butter, ghee, coconut oil, tallow, or lard.

% of Heart Attacks & Strokes Result From THIS

Over 80% of heart attacks and strokes are not caused by arterial plaque, cholesterol, or calcium blocking the arteries. Find out about the true underlying cause of heart attacks and strokes so you can support your heart health and prevent them. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: What causes a heart attack? 0:36 Blood clots and heart attacks 2:50 Excess calcium and heart attacks 4:18 How to prevent heart attack by preventing clotting 5:09 Supporting heart health 6:10 Supplements to prevent heart attack More videos on Teeth and Heart Disease: ▶️    • Could Heart Dysfunction Come From an Infec...   ▶️    • The Hidden Source of Heart Attacks/Strokes... If someone dies from a heart attack or stroke, their death is typically the result of a clot. A clot can form in less than 5 seconds! Usually, your body should form a clot, fix the hole in the artery, then dissolve the clot, but this doesn’t always happen. Clots can be caused by the following: •Smoking •Pollution/chemicals •Alcohol •Birth control pills •Stress •Surgery •Endurance sports •Refined starches •Infection •High blood sugar •Inflammation Excess calcium in the arteries can also trigger clotting, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Postmenopausal women who take large amounts of calcium are at a much greater risk for blood clots. Calcium is involved in over 15 different clotting factors. Vitamin K2 prevents calcium from building up in the soft tissues and arteries. It is found in dairy, butter, and other fatty foods. Always take vitamin D with vitamin K2. Magnesium is another important calcium regulator. It helps prevent calcium from entering the soft tissues, as well as arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation. Nitric oxide can reduce clotting. Vitamin D, L-arginine, and sunlight can increase nitric oxide to help prevent heart attack. Polyphenols, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids all support heart health and may help reduce your risk of clotting. Keto and intermittent fasting can help reduce clotting by reducing inflammation in your arteries. Regular moderate exercise is vital in preventing clotting. Garlic and onion are also essential. Nattokinase, serrapeptase, and bromelain can be taken as supplements to prevent clotting. #health #keto #ketodiet #weightloss #ketolifestyle #intermittentfasting #lowcarb Thanks for watching!

VITAMIN D TEST KIT: 🛒 https://drbrg.co/4hSPDtr 🛒 https://drbrg.co/41vAs3S Vitamin D is important but confusing. Find out how to boost vitamin D and much more. 0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D levels explained 1:40 Understanding the vitamin D receptor 6:25 How to boost low vitamin D 8:45 Learn more about vitamin D toxicity! Today I want to cover what you really need to know about vitamin D. The RDA for vitamin D is 600 IU for adults under 70 years old. But, the studies that support this amount are outdated. Vitamin D reaches the cells through vitamin D receptors. Unfortunately, you can’t use blood tests to determine what’s happening in the cells, and various problems can occur with these receptors. For example, about 30% of the population has a genetic problem with the vitamin D receptor, meaning they have a difficult time getting the vitamin D they need. Many health conditions are directly related to a problem with the vitamin D receptor, including: • Autoimmune diseases • Breast cancer and colon cancer • Certain cardiovascular diseases • Certain cognitive diseases • Diabetes (type 1 and type 2) • Metabolic syndrome • High blood pressure • Tuberculosis and certain infections • Lyme disease • Hair loss • Crohn’s disease • Respiratory infections • Asthma and food allergies • Low back pain • Vitiligo • Osteoporosis • COPD • PTSD How to increase vitamin D: 1. Take more vitamin D 2. Take your vitamin D supplements inconsistently 3. Take magnesium 4. Take zinc 5. Take bile salts 6. Consume omega-3 fatty acids 7. Consume vitamin K2 8. Take resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, and sulforaphane 9. Consume butyrate (vegetables) When using high doses of vitamin D, always check with your doctor. High doses of vitamin D can increase blood/urine calcium levels resulting in calcium deposits in the kidney. Also drink 2.5 liters of fluids per day, take cofactors with vitamin D (magnesium, K2 and zinc) and have your doctor monitor your PTH, vitamin D blood levels and creatinine and avoid excess calcium supplements of high calcium foods when taking vitamin D levels over 10,000 IUs.
