For the last 200 days of a cow’s life, it’s fed a high-starch diet and given minimal exercise. According to the food pyramid, most of our diet should come from starch. The average American consumes 65% to 70% of their calories from starches. Starches are actually hidden sugars. In fact, ultra-processed starch is worse than sugar and will raise your blood sugar more than glucose. There are 2 types of corn: field corn (dent corn) and edible sweet corn. Dent corn is used to fatten cattle and to make products such as ethanol, corn flour, modified food starch, modified corn starch, and maltodextrin. It’s also used to make corn oil, one of the seed oils. Not only do the refined starches act like sugar in the body, but they’re also GMO. This means they contain traces of glyphosate. The average American has been eating like a cow for quite some time. This is why we see obesity, fatty liver, heart disease, and more. Cows are meant to digest grass, not grains. Grass is fermented with bacteria in a cow's stomach, and the fiber feeds its microbes. When a cow is fed grains, the microbes produce an excess amount of acid, causing acidosis. This can lead to infection and isn’t very healthy for the cow, so they’re fed antibiotics to compensate. Stop eating like a cow! Avoid ultra-processed starch and choose grass-fed, grass-finished beef. --- Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Discover the interesting connection between hypothyroidism and gallstones. 90% of Hypothyroidism Is Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: ▶️ https://youtu.be/rvUthITs4oI DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459253/ 0:00 Introduction: How gallbladder problems and the thyroid are connected 0:38 Bile explained 1:27 Gallstone causes 2:18 The benefits of bile 2:45 Cholesterol explained 3:15 Understanding the gallbladder-thyroid connection 6:13 Top causes of thyroid problems 9:20 Learn more about what causes thyroid problems! Today I’m going to reveal how problems with the gallbladder could be related to the thyroid. Bile contains bile salts, lecithin, bilirubin, protein, and cholesterol. If a person has too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts, they could develop gallstones. However, cholesterol is necessary to help you make bile, hormones, and vitamin D. The body makes the majority of cholesterol in the body. The liver makes bile. Bile helps eliminate excess cholesterol and certain toxins. It also helps break down fats and supports the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and fatty acids. A person with hypothyroidism or a subclinical hyperthyroid issue has an increased risk of gallstones. Many different connections cause this increased risk, but overall, it takes a healthy thyroid to make enough bile and bile to create a healthy thyroid. Ultimately, I believe a lack of fat and cholesterol in the diet can increase your risk of gallstones and hypothyroidism from multiple angles. The Healthy Keto® diet can help supply the fats and important vitamins and minerals your body needs. Learn more about Healthy Keto in my other videos.

Discover the best and worst foods for arthritis. DATA: https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/healthy-living/nutrition/anti-inflammatory/the-ultimate-arthritis-diet 0:00 Introduction: Best and worst foods for arthritis 0:10 The problems with recommended foods for arthritis 4:35 The best foods for arthritis 6:22 The worst foods for arthritis 8:22 Intermittent fasting for arthritis 8:40 Learn more about what to do for arthritis! Today I want to cover the best and worst foods for arthritis. This includes rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other “-itises.” Foods to avoid for arthritis: • Fruits • Nuts (except walnuts) • Beans • Whole grains • Sugar • Refined grains • Trans fats • Hydrogenated foods • Seed oils • Canned foods (except sardines or cod liver) • Powdered protein • High-oxalate foods It’s typically recommended to avoid eggs, red meat, and dairy if you have arthritis. However, it’s important to understand that grain-fed animals have a very different omega-6 to omega-3 ratio than organic grass-fed, pasture-raised, or wild-caught fish and animals. Organic grass-fed whole milk kefir or organic grass-fed raw milk cheese may also be better choices than typical dairy products. The best foods for arthritis: • Wild-caught fatty fish • Seafood • Pasture-raised organic eggs • Fermented vegetables (especially cabbage) It’s also important to add intermittent fasting to your diet plan. It’s not just about what you eat but the frequency you eat that’s important in getting rid of arthritis.

The Startling Truth About Vaccines

When it comes to vaccine safety and side effects, we’re told to “trust the science.” In this video, we’ll examine vaccine research and uncover why so much vaccine controversy exists. Find out the truth about vaccines!

Learn how here: https://drbrg.co/45WiLwp Don't let health jargon confuse you. This comprehensive guide can help: https://drbrg.co/3HJ1Hkj Science typically involves normal discord and disagreement, but when it comes to vaccines, opposing medical authority, such as WHO and CDC, is labeled medical misinformation. These organizations create health policy, but are often influenced by drug companies. We’re constantly told that vaccines are safe, effective, and vital for our health. When most drugs are studied for safety and effectiveness, they're tested against a placebo. Vaccine safety studies for children are not conducted in this manner! Vaccine safety studies often involve one active vaccine being tested against another, both containing adjuvants such as aluminum. No actual placebo-controlled studies have been conducted for childhood vaccines. It is considered harmful to give a placebo to children, rather than a vaccine. There have been many drugs and substances considered safe and effective that were ultimately deemed harmful. Vioxx, Paxil, trans fats, and asbestos are clear examples. Raw data from the initial release of a drug is often kept confidential. Around 87% of all Big Pharma-sponsored studies are unpublished. This means that drug companies can choose to publish only data supporting a drug's safety and effectiveness. Health policy and guidelines are then based on this deceptive information. Astroturfing involves creating fake front groups that pretend to represent public opinion. These groups include Citizens for Patient Safety, Partnership to Protect Patient Health, America's Action Network, and Doctors for America. These groups organize PR action against people like RFK Jr. --- Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Today we're going to talk about vitamin K2, and I'm going to share the best source of vitamin K2. While vitamin K1 supports blood clotting, vitamin K2 supports calcium transportation. Vitamin K2 works with vitamin D. Vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 are important to take together. Vitamin D raises calcium in the blood, but vitamin K2 pushes calcium from the blood into the bone. Vitamin K2 also uses LDL cholesterol as part of its transportation process. The health benefits of vitamin K2: • It supports healthy bones • It supports strong teeth • It helps prevent calcium from building up in the arteries, cartilage, and joints • It helps support healthy blood sugar levels • It helps generate ATP (energy) • It supports healthy testosterone levels • It supports the brain Vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 are fat-soluble—low-fat diets may lead to a vitamin K2 deficiency. Cheese, especially hard cheese, is a rich source of vitamin K2, with Muenster cheese at the top of the list. Other foods high in vitamin K2: • Grass-fed butter • Goose liver • Duck liver • Duck fat • Eel • Beef liver • Lamb's liver • Ground beef • Grass-fed hot dogs • High-quality bacon • Pork • Sauerkraut • Cod liver oil Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
