Description

Grab a pen and paper and try this 30-second early dementia test! This simple cognitive assessment for dementia can identify cognitive deficits long before the onset of dementia. Don’t wait for early dementia signs to take action! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Quick dementia brain test 0:24 The clock drawing test for dementia 1:17 Evaluating clock drawing test results 1:57 What causes dementia? 2:39 Preventing cognitive decline and reversing dementia 4:40 Reversing early dementia signs with ketones Memory loss is not the only early sign of dementia! Other common cognitive decline symptoms involve the speed at which you process information and your attention and focus. To perform the clock drawing test for dementia, set a timer for 30 seconds and draw a clock with the time set at 10 minutes after 11. To evaluate your results for any dementia risk factors, examine the following: •Were any numbers jumbled or missing? •Did you write all 12 numbers? •Were the numbers spaced correctly? •Were the hands of the clock facing the right direction? •Did you reverse the hour and the minute hands? •Were you unable to complete this in 30 seconds? The clock drawing test is one of the most sensitive indicators of early cognitive deficits and is considered more accurate than memory tests. If you didn’t pass this test or you made a mistake, don’t worry! You can do many things to support brain health and prevent or reverse dementia. Sugar shrinks your brain, especially the hippocampus, which controls memory. Chronic stress and poor sleep can also contribute to the problem. If you notice any signs of early dementia, increasing BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is vital. BDNF helps grow brain tissue and prevents cognitive problems, as well as other issues like depression. Here are the best ways to increase BDNF: •Intermittent fasting •Cold therapy •Deep sleep •Learning difficult tasks or skills •High-intensity interval training Ketones can also help reverse dementia and protect your brain against cognitive decline. A low-carb diet can increase ketones and has even been shown to reverse diabetes in 10 weeks! MCT oil, coconut oil, and ketone supplements can also provide the brain with ketones. To remain in ketosis, only consume a moderate amount of protein! Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

Why Conventional Medicine Replaced Natural Healing (The Truth You Were Never Told)

Why have we lost our trust in natural medicine? In this video, we’ll discuss why natural medicine is ignored and sometimes even dismissed as folklore. Is it wise to invalidate the wisdom of the past? Discover the truth about natural medicine in this video. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Chapters:- 0:00 Introduction: Natural medicine suppression 0:19 United States Dispensatory 0:38 Pharmaceutical vs. natural medicine 3:08 The advancement of medicine 6:35 Natural remedies of the past The “United States Dispensatory” by Wood and Lawall may provide insight into alternative medicine censorship in the United States. The 21st edition, published in 1926, was the most authoritative and comprehensive reference for American medicine. At the time of publication, 75% of medicine consisted of various natural remedies, while only 25% consisted of synthetic compounds. Since then, there’s been a gradual transition from natural remedies to synthetic drugs. When the 22nd edition of the book was published in 1943, the ratio of natural to synthetic drugs shifted to 50:50. Today, medicine is often prescribed without considering lifestyle, eating habits, sleep patterns, stress levels, or the microbiome. Symptoms of the underlying problems are treated without addressing the root cause. Discover these 20 natural remedies that have stood the test of time, along with the ailment they have historically been used to address. 1. Cod liver oil—Tuberculosis, tetany, nerve pain 2. Nutmeg oil—Psychotic problems 3. Olive oil—Mild laxative, gallstones 4. Pine needle oil—Eliminates mucus from the lungs 5. Castor oil—Mild laxative 6. Sandalwood oil—Gonorrhea, bronchitis, bladder infections 7. Sassafras oil—Antiseptic 8. Betaine hydrochloride—Indigestion, gastric problems 9. Pepsin—Digestive issues 10. Lugol’s iodine—Thyroid support and protection 11. Magnesium sulfate—Sleep support, anxiety, pain killer 12. Calcium chloride—Acidifies the body 13. Liver extract—Anemia 14.

How to Grow Thicker and Shinier Hair

This one superfood is the key to hair growth and healthy hair! In this video, we’ll cover 4 superfoods for hair growth, including the most important food for hair health. Add these nutrient-rich foods for hair to your diet today! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: The best foods for hair growth 0:50 Vitamin D3 and hair loss prevention 2:24 The #1 food for hair growth 2:54 Iron and hair health Today, we’re going to talk about the top foods for hair growth. Number 4 is the most important! 1. Bamboo shoots are high in trace minerals, potassium, and silica—essential for building hair protein. Silica makes hair strong and elastic and also prevents breakage and brittleness. Silica supports skin, joint, and bone health as well! 2. Wild-caught salmon is an excellent source of protein and is loaded with nutrition. It’s also one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Wild-caught salmon is a potent source of vitamin D3, which can improve nearly every problem with hair loss. Vitamin D controls the hair follicle and can activate dormant hair follicle stem cells. 3. Egg yolks are loaded with biotin, vital for keratin production. They also contain all of the fat-soluble nutrients that are essential for hair growth and hair health. Egg yolks are a rich source of cholesterol, a precursor for the hormones necessary for hair growth. Cholesterol increases hair shine and luster and strengthens the hair shaft. Egg yolks contain vitamin D and sulfur, which supports a healthy scalp. 4. Grass-fed liver contains concentrated amounts of almost every nutrient. It’s high in iron, vital for oxygen transport to the scalp. One of the most common causes of hair shedding is iron deficiency. An iron deficiency can be caused by low iron or a copper deficiency. Copper is vital for the proper function of iron, and beef liver is loaded with it! It also contains zinc, which is essential in the appropriate ratio to copper. Zinc is necessary in the formation of hair and protein synthesis. Beef liver also contains folate and vitamin B12, which can reduce graying. The nutrients in beef liver are bioavailable, so your body can easily absorb them. Beef liver contains the active, bioavailable form of vitamin A and biotin. It’s best to get biotin from a food source rather than a supplement. Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

Coffee in moderation can do a lot more than wake you up! Discover the fascinating health benefits of drinking coffee. 0:00 Introduction: The benefits of coffee 0:40 Benefits of caffeine 1:34 More coffee benefits 5:02 Watch my video to learn how to neutralize the side effects of coffee! In this video, we’re going to talk about some of the health benefits of drinking coffee. Remember, don’t drink coffee if it gives you anxiety, increases your heart rate, or prevents you from sleeping. Too much coffee can increase cortisol and adrenaline, so limit your daily coffee intake to one cup. Caffeine is a phytochemical found in coffee and other plants. Caffeine keeps us awake by inhibiting a compound called adenosine. Coffee can give you mental acuity, help you focus, and improve your ability to learn. It speeds up the rate of metabolism and helps regulate blood sugar, especially if you add MCT oil or butter. Research has shown that coffee may even help decrease your risk of dementia! Here are some of the other potential health benefits of coffee: • Decreases symptoms related to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's • Decreases risk of gallstones • Increases the production and flow of bile • Prevents kidney stones • Has anti-cancer properties • Has anti-inflammatory properties • Has hepatoprotective properties • Contains polyphenols to feed your microbiome • Can help improve postural hypotension • Improves exercise performance • Increases cardiac output • Delays muscle soreness • Decreases symptoms experienced at high altitudes • Increases mitochondrial biogenesis • Increases stomach acid Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 59, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
