Today we’re going to talk about the top cause of artery calcification. The body becomes more calcified with age. But, our goal is to keep the bones calcified and the other tissues from becoming calcified. A CAC test is a great way to determine if you have calcium in your arteries. There are two types of cells in your bones. Osteoblasts are cells that build bone, and osteoclasts break down bones. If there are too many osteoblasts in your arteries, the arteries can start turning to bone. There are stem cells in the inner tissue of the arteries that have the potential to turn into a certain type of cell, depending on what the body needs. If someone is developing bone tissue in their arteries, there is a problem with the differentiation of these stem cells—they’re turning into the wrong thing. Sufficient amounts of vitamin K2 may help inhibit calcification. Vitamin K2 helps keep calcium out of the arteries and in the bones, making the bones strong. Your good bacteria make vitamin K2. Causes of a vitamin K2 deficiency: • A fatty liver • Gallbladder issues • Gut problems • Not consuming enough fermented foods • A low-fat diet Foods rich in vitamin K2: • Natto • Sauerkraut • Cheese • Butter • Kefir • Egg yolk • Liver • Sausage If you take vitamin K2 as a supplement, consider taking the natural form called MK7 and take it with vitamin D.

CEASE Taking This Now

Never take iron supplements! Iron is the most toxic mineral that you can consume. In this video, we’re going to talk about some of the dangerous side effects of iron supplements. Find out why iron deficiency anemia may not be related to iron deficiency at all. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Why you shouldn’t take iron supplements 0:10 The dangers of iron supplements 0:34 Side effects of too much iron 1:13 Iron toxicity 1:23 What causes too much iron? 1:37 Side effects of iron supplements 3:53 Hidden iron 4:22 Iron and copper 5:40 Copper deficiency 6:36 Iron deficiency anemia explained Too much iron over time can cause iron accumulation in your organs and tissues. Some people have a genetic problem that makes it difficult to eliminate iron if it accumulates too much. Potential side effects of too much iron include the following: 1. Cancer 2. Liver disease 3. Heart disease 4. Low testosterone 5. Low libido 6. Diabetes 7. Chronic fatigue syndrome 8. Infertility 9. Neurodegeneration 10. Inflammatory diseases Iron deficiency is one of the most common mineral deficiencies, but iron can also be dangerous if you’re getting too much. Iron toxicity is one of the most underdiagnosed and overlooked conditions. When you take iron supplements, you don't absorb very much. The excess iron accumulates in the digestive tract, causing constipation, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, and irritation of the colon. The type of iron in iron supplements feeds pathogens. Red meat is a better source of iron. Heme iron from red meat and fish is absorbed much more easily. It goes straight into the bloodstream. Red meat also has other nutrients like B vitamins, zinc, and selenium. High-quality protein also helps to balance iron. Many processed foods contain added iron in the forms of ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulfate, and ferrous gluconate. The most common sources of iron are supplements, fortification, and cooking with cast iron cookware. Liver damage will also cause you to accumulate iron. A lack of copper is a common cause of dysfunctional iron because copper helps control iron in the body. Many enzymes dependent on copper relate directly to the control of iron. The first enzyme involved with copper converts iron into a less accumulative and less toxic form. Copper also allows you to transport iron through the body. Copper is involved in a powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidation caused by iron! Glyphosate, antibiotics, high fructose corn syrup, and wheat products can cause copper deficiency. Iron deficiency anemia may really be iron dysfunctional anemia, which is often related to a copper deficiency. Oysters, shellfish, and organ meats are the best food sources of copper.

This is Not Meant for People to Consume

Why is junk food so addicting? Let me explain why you can’t resist junk food, why you should stop eating junk food, and how to easily identify toxic foods with my new app. Find out which foods to avoid so you don’t fall victim to the obesity epidemic!

By scanning the barcode, the Dr. Berg app will tell you how much sugar, starch, and seed oils are in a product. To make a profit, food companies must create an irresistible product that never leaves you fully satisfied so you will continue eating it. Food scientists work to create the perfect combination of sugar, starch, seed oils, salt, and flavoring to create maximum pleasure, also known as the bliss point. Artificial flavor chemicals are very different from natural flavor chemicals and are 300 times more intense! When you repeatedly consume these chemicals, you can develop dopamine resistance. Junk food is devoid of nutritional value and lacks protein. Junk foods are not food in the true sense of the word. Food is defined as something that gives you energy and helps you sustain life, something junk food can't do. Here is a list of some of the worst junk foods. Avoid these foods! 1. BBQ chips 2. Cheese pop 3. Plant-based meat 4. Fast food 5. Artificial maple syrup 6. Extra virgin olive oil 7. Imitation crab 8. Cheese products 9. Artificial sweeteners 10. Artificial honey 11.

The current medical model of cancer says that it's a spontaneous mutation of your DNA, and the solution is to kill cancer cells with chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. The metabolic viewpoint on cancer says cancer starts with mitochondrial damage that leads to a mutation later on. A cancer cell is a cell that has lost proper mitochondrial function. The mitochondria need oxygen to function correctly, but cancer cells can live without oxygen, using fermentation for energy. A PET scan is often used to identify cancer, looking for areas in the body with a hypermetabolism of glucose. Try these cancer prevention tips for longevity and healthy living! 1. Increase vitamin D for immune function 2. Cold therapy 3. Intermittent fasting 4. Add herbs, garlic, and onion to grilled meat 5. Avoid unnecessary CAT scans and X-rays 6. Ensure adequate folate intake 7. Intermittent usage of methylene blue 8. Prolonged fasting 9. Ketogenic diet 10. Avoid snacking 11. Increase omega-3 fatty acids to prevent inflammation 12. Consume foods with sulforaphane 13. Avoid excess iron 14. Consume adequate selenium 15. Increase magnesium to support the mitochondria 16. Increase NAD and vitamin B3 17.

The #1 FINEST Meal to Reverse Heart Disease & Type 2 Diabetes

Is there a perfect meal to reverse metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease? In this video, I’ll share the best foods for diabetes and heart health that can also help with chronic kidney disease prevention. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Chapters: 0:00 Introduction: The best meal for type 2 diabetes, heart, and kidney disease 3:02 What causes diabetes and other metabolic diseases 3:50 Insulin resistance 5:12 Hidden sugar 9:08 What is the best meal to reverse chronic disease? 19:18 How to prevent kidney disease, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes, Metabolic disease is caused by a problem at the cellular level. Your cells can no longer get energy, even with an abundance of fuel. People with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease represent 25% of our population! According to research from Harvard, 93% of US adults have at least one abnormal risk factor, such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, visceral fat, inflammation, fatty liver, sleep apnea, or being overweight. Mitochondrial dysfunction is at the root of the problem. On average, people consume 31 teaspoons of sugar per day! Sugar isn't the only problem. Industrial food starches such as modified food starch, modified corn starch, and maltodextrin spike blood sugar more than sugar. The average American consumes 56 teaspoons of starch per day! Insulin removes sugar from your blood and stores it as belly fat, liver fat, or high triglycerides. During this process, the mitochondria are damaged. This could go on for years before blood sugar problems begin. A fasting insulin test would be the only way to detect the problem, but these are not routine. To reverse chronic disease, you must eliminate refined carbohydrates and eat less frequently! Here are the best foods for diabetes and heart health: •Salad: Arugula, ACV, extra virgin olive oil, pumpkin seeds, nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds, avocado •Protein/fat: Grass-fed, grass-finished hamburger with no bun •Dessert: L. Reuteri yogurt with sugar-free dark chocolate and/or cinnamon For your best health, practice the following healthy habits: •Follow a low-carb diet •Intermittent fasting •Get plenty of sunlight •Go on a post-meal walk •Avoid ultra-processed foods Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.
