Today I’m going to cover the worst mistake people make when dealing with constipation and what to do for constipation. Constipation is congestion in your gut—you have too much stool. Fiber increases stool volume. Fiber also causes your microbes to create fermentation, which leads to gas and bloating. Some studies suggest that consuming fiber can even worsen conditions like chronic constipation or SIBO. The biggest mistake people make when dealing with constipation is consuming more fiber. How to deal with constipation naturally: 1. Reduce your fiber 2. Talk to your doctor about whether or not it’s a side effect of a medication (and what to do if it is) 3. Consume vitamin B1 4. Lower your stress 5. Take bile salts 6. Take a probiotic 7. Do intermittent fasting 8. Consume a moderate amount of protein 9. Consume betaine hydrochloride and apple cider vinegar 10.

Coffee is one thing that you don’t need to avoid if you’re trying to support your health. Let’s talk about the benefits of coffee, especially for fatty liver or gallstones. Potential health benefits of coffee: • It may help decrease the risk of metabolic syndrome • It provides nueroprotection • It provides cardiovascular protection • It may be anticarcinogenic • It’s an appetite suppressant • It has anti-inflammatory effects • It’s rich in magnesium, vitamin B2, and vitamin B3 To take advantage of the health benefits of coffee, you have to consume a small to moderate amount—not large amounts. I suggest only having one small cup of coffee in the morning. Potential benefits of coffee for the liver and gallbladder: 1. Coffee may help produce and thin bile, decreasing the risk of gallstones. 2. Coffee contains phytonutrients that can help protect the liver. 3. Coffee can help increase fatty acid oxidation, meaning it can help break down fat from the liver. 4. Coffee stimulates a hormone that helps contract the gallbladder, which will help you extract fat-soluble nutrients from your food.

What BLOATING Really Means

Stomach bloating is one of the most common signs of a leaky gut. Find out how to get rid of bloating by addressing gut health. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. 0:00 Introduction: What is a leaky gut? 0:50 Leaky gut symptoms 1:27 What causes a leaky gut? 2:58 How to get rid of bloating and fix leaky gut 3:50 Fasting to fix leaky gut Today, we’re going to talk about bloating, the number one symptom associated with a leaky gut. If you have a leaky gut, you have crevices and holes in your gut where food particles and substances can travel through without a stamp of approval from the immune system. For example, if you have a leaky gut and egg protein gets through, your immune system will respond as if it’s a virus, bacteria, or pathogen. The next time you eat eggs, you could have an immune reaction. If you have a leaky gut, you’ll notice new food allergies along with the following symptoms: •Inflammation •Joint pain •Skin reactions (e.g. psoriasis, dermatitis) •Headaches The most damaging side effect of a leaky gut is the development of autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s. To get rid of bloating, you’ll need to address the cause of a leaky gut. Check out the 7 most common causes of a leaky gut: 1. Vitamin D deficiency 2. Seed oils 3. Raw vegetables 4. Lectins 5. Fiber 6. Sugar 7. Gluten Even if you correct your diet, you must ensure you have enough vitamin D to fix your leaky gut. Get plenty of sun without burning, or take 20,000 IU of vitamin D every day. Glutamine is crucial for gut health. Red meat is the best source of glutamine. Cabbage, bone broth, eggs, and kefir are also good sources. Zinc is also important for gut health. Oysters, shellfish, seafood, and sea kelp are the best sources. Fasting gives your digestive system a chance to rest and repair if you have a leaky gut.
