What causes depression? Surprisingly, depression has nothing to do with your brain and everything to do with your gut microbiome. In this video, we’ll take an in-depth look at the brain-gut connection and the often overlooked relationship between depression and gut health. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Depression explained 1:17 Side effects of SSRIs 1:32 St. John’s wort and depression 2:27 The brain-gut connection 3:22 Depression and gut health 3:40 Depression and gut inflammation 3:51 Antibiotics and depression 4:33 L. reuteri and mental health Depression has consistently been viewed as a chemical imbalance, but it's actually related to a problem with the gut. Depression is often treated with SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), but many studies show normal serotonin levels in people with depression. SSRIs do not fix depression and have even been called placebos by some medical professionals. They also come with serious side effects, including sexual dysfunction, decreased libido, inability to experience emotion, and worsening depression. St. John’s wort affects both serotonin and dopamine. It’s an anti-inflammatory and reduces cortisol, but doctors and the medical world often recommend against it despite its very few side effects. Serotonin and oxytocin are made in the gut. Oxytocin is a powerful hormone that can help with depression and stress, so gut health is at the core of mental health. The vagus nerve works as a highway that orchestrates the brain and gut connection. If you have a problem with your gut microbes, this can lead to depression. Studies have found serious microbes missing in depressed people! Gut inflammation can also alter your mood. One of the side effects of antibiotics is depression. Antibiotics erase the good bacteria that control your mood chemicals. Once wiped away, microbes don't always come back, and you could be left with an imbalance. L. reuteri is an amazing microbe that many people are missing. Dr. William Davis has shared an expert technique for cultivating L. reuteri using half and half to increase its potency. People have consumed this probiotic mixture and experienced significant health benefits such as improved sleep, muscle tone, and reduced stress. L. reuteri acts as a natural antibiotic without side effects and is found naturally in breast milk.

The ACTUAL Root of Neck & Shoulder Pain

If you’re experiencing unexplained neck pain, shoulder pain, or upper back pain issues, it could be referred pain from your liver or gallbladder. Discover the connection between your gallbladder and shoulder pain. Find out if you’re dealing with referred pain and what to do about it. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Your neck pain is not spine-related! 0:47 Gallbladder, liver, and neck pain connection 2:30 What causes neck pain? 3:30 How to get rid of chronic neck pain and shoulder pain 4:06 How to determine if you have referred pain Eliminate junk food with the FREE Dr. Berg Junk Food Meter app: https://drbrg.co/457AcIO Apple Download: https://drbrg.co/4l8Wtw4 Android Download: https://drbrg.co/4lMZyCQ Discover nutrient-dense foods that support liver and gallbladder health here: https://drbrg.co/45kPiMh Try these 5 strategies to cut ultra-processed foods: https://drbrg.co/4f9yYS6 Your neck pain might not be spine-related. Your gallbladder is a small sac that hangs beneath your rib cage and connects to the small intestine and liver. When you eat, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine to help you break down fat. Bile is made of cholesterol and bile salts. You can develop gallstones when cholesterol is high and bile salts are low. Before the development of gallstones, you’ll have bile sludge that clogs the ducts, applying pressure to the phrenic nerve that extends to the neck. This causes referred pain in the neck and shoulder area. Any congestion in the liver or gallbladder can cause unexplained neck pain and shoulder pain. This can’t be fixed with surgery, drugs, a chiropractor, physical therapy, or massage! You must address the root causes: bile deficiency, liver damage, alcohol, and junk food. Address these issues to get rid of referred pain. Bile salts are a powerful remedy for referred pain from the liver and gallbladder. TUDCA can help thin bile sludge and reduce fat on the liver. It’s also good for the eyes, brain, and pancreas. Increasing taurine is also beneficial, but dietary changes are the best remedy for this problem. To determine if you’re dealing with pain from the gallbladder or liver, manually massage the area to eliminate congestion. If this is the source of your problem, you’ll feel instant relief from right-side neck pain and shoulder pain.

SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER HERE: https://drbrg.co/3FwwL2b Check out the biggest myth about apple cider vinegar (ACV). Recommended Apple Cider Vinegar: https://www.fairchildsvinegar.com/ 0:00 Introduction: The “mother” in apple cider vinegar 0:10 What is the “mother” in apple cider vinegar? 1:25 What’s at the bottom of an ACV bottle? 2:08 The best apple cider vinegar 4:04 Make sure you can always find unfiltered health information by signing up for my newsletter! 4:27 Learn more about the benefits of apple cider vinegar! There is a big myth about apple cider vinegar, and it has to do with the "mother." Let’s talk about it. The mother in apple cider vinegar is a combination of two things: friendly bacteria and enzymes. You can’t actually see bacteria or enzymes. This means you can’t see the true mother in apple cider vinegar. What you see at the bottom of a bottle of apple cider vinegar is the leftovers of the fermentation process. It’s just unfiltered particles from the apples or maybe fiber—there’s not necessarily enzymes or probiotics in it. When apple cider vinegar is pasteurized, the heat kills bacteria and enzymes. High pressure can also kill bacteria and enzymes. Fairchild’s is the only brand of apple cider vinegar that produces and sells their product. They produce a high-quality organic raw apple cider vinegar product. It’s also undiluted and much stronger than Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar, which is diluted with water. I don’t get anything from promoting their product, but when I find a really good product like this one, I like to share it with others.
