This is the best stretch for the psoas muscle—it’s simple, and I think you’ll notice a big difference after you try it. Check it out. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: What is the psoas muscle? 0:10 The effects of a tight psoas muscle  2:45 The best psoas stretch  5:45 Learn more about the psoas muscle! Today, I’m going to share the best stretch for your psoas muscle. The psoas muscle connects the upper part of your body with the lower part. A tight psoas muscle can lead to low back pain, poor posture, and problems with the hips. Problems with the psoas muscle can make it difficult to: • Get out of bed  • Stand from a seated position • Walk and run  • Have good posture  • Keep a low back curve  • Climb stairs When the psoas is too tight, it affects a lot of other muscles, and those muscles start to compensate. Typically, a person will have a tighter psoas muscle on one side more than the other side. It’s very important to fix that and keep the psoas symmetrical. This simple psoas stretch that I’m going to show you will also help you strengthen and stabilize this muscle. I think it’s going to give you a lot of relief. Over the course of two to three weeks of doing this stretch, you’ll find that when you walk, your pelvis, hips, and gait are more free and open. You’ll also notice that your low back pain is much better, your hips are less tight, and your low back curve is in a good position. Watch the video for an in-depth demonstration of the best stretch for your psoas. Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

The #1 Most Perilous Meal in the World

What is the #1 most dangerous meal in the world? Many people consume this meal without knowing it includes dangerous foods that can kill you! In this video, find out about the meal that contains the most dangerous ingredients for your health and why you’ll want to stop eating these foods immediately! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: The most dangerous foods in the world 0:12 PAHs 0:34 AGEs 1:00 Sodium nitrate 1:18 Roundup ready 2:41 Byproduct of caramel coloring 3:00 Aluminum toxicity 3:40 Potassium bromate 3:54 The most dangerous meal These dangerous ingredients are found in the #1 most dangerous meal. Can you guess what it is? 1. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are byproducts created when you cook, char, or smoke something. Cooking at high temperatures creates these compounds, which have the potential to alter or mutate your DNA and can trigger cancer of the stomach or colon. 2. When you combine sugar with protein, you create AGEs (advanced glycation end products). These sticky proteins found in foods like barbequed meat can cause advanced aging, inflammation, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and other chronic diseases. 3. Sodium nitrate is found in processed meat like bacon and ham. When heated, it turns into a carcinogen, which can trigger cancer. 4. Residue from the weed killer Roundup Ready is often found in GMO foods such as soy, corn, canola, and cottonseed. Roundup Ready contains the ingredient glyphosate, which is considered a carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Glyphosate also disrupts the microbiome. 5. Caramel coloring, which is used in barbeque sauces and sodas, produces a carcinogenic byproduct called 4-MEI. 6. Aluminum can leach into the brain, increasing your risk for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. 7. Potassium bromate is found in barbeque sauces and is often used to increase fluffiness in bread products. This ingredient has been banned in 60 countries, but it’s not banned in the U.S. The most dangerous meal includes barbequed meat that’s been grilled, covered in barbeque sauce, and typically cooked on or covered with aluminum foil. Many types of meat served at barbeques contain nitrates and are often wrapped in a bun or served with bread. This meal is usually served with a soda in an aluminum can or plastic bottle and served on a styrofoam plate.

The Most Critical Mineral Deficiency in Rotator Cuff Repair / Pain / Tears

If you have this mineral deficiency, you’re going to find it difficult to strengthen and repair your rotator cuff. Find out more. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26921066/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6923943/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15788868 0:00 Introduction: Rotator cuff repair 0:15 A deeper look at the rotator cuff muscles and tendons 4:10 Two things never to do for a rotator cuff injury 4:40 Natural remedies for a rotator cuff injury 5:50 The top mineral for rotator cuff repair 7:00 The best source of manganese 8:18 Learn more about inflammation! Let’s talk about the top mineral deficiency in rotator cuff injuries and a lot of other joint injuries. Up to 94% of rotator cuff treatments don’t have a great success rate and require more treatment over time. The majority of rotator cuff problems are related to the tendons, not the muscles. There are some natural things you can do to maximize the strength of your rotator cuff, but unfortunately, it will likely never be 100% again. Two things you should never do for a rotator cuff injury are: 1. Apply cold to the injury 2. Rest the injured area What to do for tendon rehab and rotator cuff repair: • A hanging stretch (for arthritis with no tear or trauma) • Isometric exercises • Get plenty of vitamin D, vitamin C, and amino acids • Keep moving on a regular basis • Eccentric exercises • Get plenty of manganese The most important nutrient for your tendons and rotator cuff repair is manganese. A manganese deficiency can slow down the repair of your tendons. Manganese is essential for strengthening your tendons and ligaments. The best source of manganese is shellfish. If you’re going to take a manganese supplement, consider taking about 200 mg for around a month and then try to get it from your diet.

How to STARVE Cancer (The Ultimate Anti-Cancer Eating Plan)

Cancer prevention starts with the diet. Depending on what you eat, you’re either starving cancer or feeding it! Discover the best cancer prevention diet and my expert tips to prevent cancer and support the immune system. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: The best cancer prevention diet 1:26 Cancer explained 2:39 Cancer and your immune system 3:30 Starving cancer 5:45 Cancer prevention tips 6:39 The best cancer diet 11:13 Healthy eating for cancer prevention 12:36 Starving cancer with fasting 13:27 More cancer prevention tips Trillions of dollars are spent on cancer research, yet the mortality rates haven't changed in decades. Cancer is a heterogeneous disease, which means there are many different types. Understanding how cancer works is key to cancer prevention. Cancer tends to spread to areas of inflammation and to regions in the body where oxygen is scarce. Cancer is constantly evading your immune system! Vitamin D is essential for the health and proper functioning of your immune system. Cancer cells tend to block the receptors for vitamin D to combat this. It's beneficial to increase your vitamin D levels to penetrate the resistance created by cancer. Understanding which fuel a specific cancer uses is key to starving cancer. The majority of cancers utilize glucose and glutamine as their primary sources of fuel. Some cancers live on lipids and BCAAs, and some can even live on ketones! Cancer is highly adaptive, so effective cancer prevention requires multiple strategies, including diet rotation and intermittent fasting. Different types of cancer require the removal of different foods from the diet. Rotating the diet and removing the fuel that a specific type of cancer needs to survive prevents cancer from growing and taking over. Healthy Keto paired with intermittent fasting is the best diet for cancer prevention. Prolonged fasting is one of the best things you can do if you have cancer. Although some cancers can survive on ketones, ketones from fasting do not feed cancer cells. To prevent cancer and support the immune system, keep your blood levels of vitamin D at around 90-100 ng/mL. Incorporate regular exercise and prioritize both intermittent and prolonged fasting.

Foods You Should NEVER Consume Organic

Is organic better? Most of the time, yes! Organic foods are produced without toxic chemicals, but some foods are not worth buying organic. Save your money and discover the 13 foods you DON’T need to buy organic. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: When NOT to buy organic 0:20 What is organic? 1:49 Is organic food healthier? 2:29 13 foods you should never buy organic 6:29 Foods to ALWAYS buy organic Organic foods are foods without synthetic chemical input, such as pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, which are harmful chemicals that build up in the body. Organic animal foods are given organic feed and raised without antibiotics. The term “foods made with organic ingredients” means that at least 70% of the product must be organic. “Organic” means 95% of the ingredients must be organic, and “100% organic” means 100% of the ingredients must be organic. Just because something is labeled organic doesn’t make it healthy. Beware of organic junk food! The following foods are not worth buying organic: 1. Sea salt 2. Wild-caught salmon 3. Avocados 4. Baking soda 5. Water 6. Walnuts 7. Pecans 8. Brazil nuts 9. Macadamia nuts 10. Coconuts 11. Cabbage 12. Banana 13. Game meat Always buy organic for the following foods to avoid pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides: 1. Peanuts 2. Strawberries 3. Coffee 4. Chocolate 5. Cotton 6. Spinach 7. Apples 8. Grapes 9. Tea 10. Cherries 11. Wheat, oats, lentils, pulses It’s important to note that organic means non-GMO, but non-GMO doesn’t always mean organic!

Big Pharma Alarmed by Tylenol & Autism Truth

Big Pharma is freaking out about the recent information RFK Jr. has released to the public. Is there a Tylenol and vaccine link to autism? Is this another instance of medical corruption for Big Pharma profits? Find out now! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] DATA: https://protocolocoimbradrcicerogalli...https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama...https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/using-a... 0:00 Introduction: Big Pharma scandal, Tylenol, vaccines, and autism 1:44 Vaccine safety studies 6:22 Fever remedies 7:33 New medication for autism 12:52 Vaccine cover-ups and medical corruption RFK Jr. is being called everything from irresponsible to anti-science for trying to revive “debunked vaccine myths”. Autism rates have skyrocketed from 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 31, so we need to look at everything! Vaccine safety studies do not compare vaccines to placebos, they compare vaccines to other vaccines! RFK Jr. did not say that Tylenol causes autism, but that it could be a contributing factor that can influence susceptible people to develop autism. He has raised awareness of this link and has called for further research. Tylenol is used for fevers, headaches, pain, menstrual cramps, and more. Most people think it doesn't have many side effects, but it’s the leading cause of acute liver failure. Over 80,000 people each year end up in the ER because of too much acetaminophen. Tylenol’s active ingredient depletes glutathione and is found in over 600 medications. A fever is a natural immune reaction to an infection, and suppressing this can increase the infection’s duration. There are multiple causes of autism. One involves a genetic component with the MTHFR gene, which weakens your ability to detoxify and increases your risk of a folate deficiency. Leucovorin is a synthetic folate derivative recommended for some instances of autism. This medication could be beneficial and may provide optimal results if taken with B12, B2, B6, magnesium, and zinc. One study found that between 56% and 75% of those with autism had a folate deficiency! In another trial, synthetic folate boosted IQs by 25% to 50% compared to the placebo. Independent research is needed to explore the vaccine link to autism. We can’t simply squash vaccine controversy by claiming the “science is settled.” Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.
