Why do men die earlier than women? In this video, I’ll uncover the truth about the gender life expectancy gap. Don’t worry, I’ll also share 8 ways to increase life expectancy for men and women, along with the longevity risk factors to avoid. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Life expectancy: Men vs. women 0:12 Male mortality rate speculation 0:34 Longevity genes 1:55 How to live longer for men and women 3:59 Diet and exercise for increased life expectancy 5:28 Factors that increase mortality rates Did you know that men die an average of 6 years earlier than women? Some people blame the gender life expectancy gap on men being involved with more hazardous work, having fewer doctor visits, smoking more, or consuming more alcohol. Men often experience more heart attacks and strokes than their female counterparts. Autoimmune diseases are more common in women, but they don’t typically die from these conditions. A specific longevity gene called FOXO3 plays a major role in your life expectancy. Women express this gene more than men because the gene is activated by estrogen. Fortunately, estrogen is not the only thing that activates your longevity genes! FOXO3 helps prevent cancer and helps with gene repair. It’s a stress-resistant gene that allows you to adapt to your environment. Nature prioritizes reproduction and fertility, so women often express longevity genes more than men. There are many ways to increase the FOXO3 gene to increase life expectancy for both men and women! 1. Consume phytonutrients (astaxanthin, sulforaphane, EGCG, resveratrol) 2. Cold and heat (cold baths or saunas) 3. Intermittent fasting 4. Ketones 5. Exercise 6. Prolonged fasting for 48 hours or more 7. Controlled oxidative stress (hypoxia training) 8. Sunlight The following factors can decrease FOXO3 and shorten your life expectancy: 1. Too much insulin 2. Chronic inflammation 3. Chronic stress 4. Overfeeding 5. Sedentary lifestyle 6. Heavy metals (i.e., aluminum, mercury) 7. EMF 8. Endocrine disruptors --- Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Let's talk about hypothyroidism and how it's typically treated. Treating hypothyroidism with medications like Synthroid can create a dependency on the drug. A potential side effect of taking Synthroid long-term, especially if a person is post-menopausal, is an increased risk of bone loss. The thyroid produces more than one hormone, but people are typically treated with only one hormone. So, what about the other hormones? You need these hormones—they are important for a healthy body. A lack of these essential hormones can lead to various symptoms, like bone loss. You may want to talk to your doctor about Armour® Thyroid. Armour Thyroid comes from a natural source and contains more than one thyroid hormone.

In this video, we’re going to talk about candida overgrowth. Candida is a fungal infection that typically affects the mouth, private areas, or toenails. Candida often develops after antibiotics destroys the bacteria that keep yeast and fungus at bay. The majority of your gut microbiome is bacteria. However, you have a small percentage of yeast, fungus, and friendly candida. When antibiotics wipe out your friendly bacteria, this leaves room for candida overgrowth. Some of the symptoms of candida overgrowth include itchiness, burning, fatigue, cracks at the corners of the mouth, and ammonia odor. Candida changes your pH, making it more alkaline. Sugar is the primary fuel source of candida. Other conditions can lower your immune system and cause candida overgrowth. HIV/AIDS, organ transplants, medications like Prednisone, pregnancy, and excessive sugar consumption can all cause candida. Oftentimes, candida overgrowth is paired with a vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D has antifungal properties and is also a broad-spectrum antimicrobial. If you have candida, there are three things that you need to do! 1. Take 20,000 to 30,000 IU of vitamin D 2. Remove sugar from the diet 3. Consume probiotic foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, fermented vegetables) Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 59, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Find out how consuming onions can help you boost testosterone.

Today, we’re going to talk about one of the best natural remedies to increase testosterone: onions. Testosterone does a lot in the body, including increasing libido, controlling male characteristics, and increasing muscle growth. When someone takes testosterone, they inactivate the gland that makes the hormone. Generally, we want to choose natural ways to increase testosterone, which can involve natural glandular therapy. Onions are high in quercetin, which triggers the luteinizing hormone. Luteinizing hormone controls and can increase the production of testosterone in males. Onions also have a lot of additional health benefits: • They have powerful antioxidant effects • They have properties that help with insulin resistance • They have anti-cancer properties • They can help increase nitric oxide to support the vascular system • They may help reduce the risk of cataracts • They may help reduce the risk of allergies • They have potent anti-inflammatory properties • They may help decrease blood pressure • They can act as a diuretic It’s best to consume raw onions to support healthy testosterone levels. However, you can sauté the onions or cook them—just be sure not to overcook them. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
