Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Dr. Berg’s health tips 0:13 Social isolation health risks 1:09 Lack of sleep health effects 1:31 Refined sugar health risks 1:53 Cut sugar from the diet 3:12 Avoid processed seed oils 3:53 Visceral fat dangers 4:51 Constant snacking and weight gain 5:34 Magnesium, choline, and vitamin D deficiency 6:33 The #1 best health tip 1. Loneliness Loneliness related to social isolation causes a chronic elevation in cortisol, which leads to inflammation and an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Focus on nurturing at least 3 quality relationships. Prioritize regular social engagement and volunteering your time to help others. 2. Lack of sleep Getting less than 5 hours of sleep can increase your risk of early death by 30%! It also increases your risk of weight gain, cravings, and diabetes by 2 to 3 times. Always aim for at least 7 hours of sleep. 3. Refined sugar Processed sugar and starch contribute to liver fat, obesity, Alzheimer’s, and inflammation. Cut sugar from your diet and follow a low-carb ketogenic diet. The Dr. Berg Junk Food Meter app allows you to quickly scan foods to identify the 3 key ingredients in most junk foods: sugars, starches, and seed oils. 4. Industrial seed oils Seed oils create significant inflammation in the body. Avoid processed seed oils and choose healthy oils such as extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, tallow, and lard. 5. Reduce visceral fat naturally Visceral fat surrounds the organs and directly correlates with your longevity. Reduce visceral fat naturally by doing intermittent fasting and keto. 6. Stop snacking Constant snacking makes it impossible for your body to repair damaged cells. Stop snacking and only eat when you're hungry. 7. Nutrient deficiencies A magnesium deficiency can lead to high blood pressure, arrhythmias, and muscle cramps. Magnesium is found in leafy greens and pumpkin seeds, or you can take a magnesium glycinate supplement. It’s said that 40% of people are deficient in vitamin D, but that figure could be closer to 90%! Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of early death and leads to inflammation and depression. You need at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. Low choline intake can cause a fatty liver and problems with memory and cognitive function. You need 550 mg per day, and the best sources are egg yolks and liver. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

This is the best meal to clean out your arteries. But, it goes against what you’ve been told. DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7036036/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20379054/ https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2015.00671/full https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180510203730.htm https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jat/17/8/17_3285/_article/-char/ja/ https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/21/22/8729 https://porkcheckoff.org/research/menaquinone-content-of-pork 0:00 Introduction: How to clean out the arteries 0:22 Your microbiome and your arteries 2:54 An important vitamin for the arteries 6:02 The best foods for the arteries 8:05 The best meal to clean out the arteries 9:20 Learn more about supporting the arteries! Today I want to share the best meal to clean out your arteries. There is an interesting connection between your microbiome and your arteries. In mice studies, when the mice lack a healthy gut microbiome, they tend to develop a lot of inflammation. Inflammation in the arteries triggers a cascade of damaging effects. An overall imbalance of the microorganisms in the body can also lead to various problems in the arteries. One of the most important vitamins for the arteries is vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps keep calcium buildup out of the arteries. The microbes in your gut have the ability to make vitamin K2, but fermented foods and fatty foods are also rich in vitamin K2. Keep in mind that vitamin K2 works better when taken with vitamin D3. For every 100 mcg of vitamin K2, consider taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. Probiotics are crucial to support healthy arteries, and your friendly microbes are your natural probiotics. It’s important to support your microbiome and avoid sterile foods like pasteurized and over-processed foods. The best meal to clean out the arteries: • Brie cheese • Fatty pork sausage • Sauerkraut Each of these foods is fermented and loaded with vitamin K2. Give them a try, and start adding other alive and fermented foods to your diet. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Nighttime Behaviors that Speed Up Aging (And Cost Nothing to Fix)

These 7 dangerous nighttime habits can ruin your sleep and wreak havoc on your health. Stop making these nighttime routine mistakes! Get better sleep tonight by quitting these unhealthy night habits immediately. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Avoid these habits that hurt sleep 2:22 Avoiding screens for better sleep 4:28 Alcohol before sleep 8:05 Avoid these before bed 10:05 More sleep equals better sleep 1. Carbs and sugar before bed Growth hormone rises at night, but is blunted by a rise in blood sugar. This hormone helps you burn fat, repair tissues, and build muscle mass. A massive blood sugar spike before bed can interfere with your sleep and cause grogginess, fatigue, cravings, and irritability the next day. 2. Screens and lights before bed Avoid lights and screens, especially those emitting blue light, for at least 2 hours before bed. Melatonin is suppressed by light. Not only does this powerful antioxidant help you sleep, but it’s more important than glutathione for detoxification and DNA repair. Blue light also suppresses deep delta wave sleep and REM sleep. 3. Using alcohol to fall asleep Alcohol tricks your body into falling asleep, but you’re not really sleeping: your body is working to detoxify alcohol. Alcohol increases cortisol and adrenaline, and depletes electrolytes. It also depletes vitamin B1, which can cause anxiety and nervous tension the next day. Instead of alcohol, try magnesium glycinate in warm water or kombucha tea. 4. Late-night junk food Junk foods typically contain seed oils, which are inflammatory and hard on the gallbladder. If you’re craving salty food before bed, try putting a small amount of sea salt in your mouth or adding more salt to your dinner. 5. Antihistamines or sleeping pills before bed Sedated, artificial sleep does not leave you feeling rejuvenated and rested in the morning. People often feel less focused with decreased concentration and memory. You may eventually need more of the drug to create the same effect. 6. Sleeping next to your cell phone Your cell phone and charging cable both emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which can negatively impact your brain and sleep cycles. EMFs also interfere with melatonin. Keep your cell phone on airplane mode or away from your body when you’re sleeping. 7. Sleep deprivation Sleep deprivation can make sleep more difficult in itself. You need at least 7 hours of sleep each night. Try to get to sleep at 10:00 p.m. each night, or 11:00 p.m. at the latest.

Today, I’m going to share one of the best natural remedies for a UTI (urinary tract infection). Top symptoms of a UTI: • Burning upon urination • Frequent urination • The urge to urinate when your bladder is empty • Abdominal pain • Low back pain • Blood in the urine • Cloudy urine • Urine with a bad odor E. coli causes 80% of urinary tract infections, and urinary tract infections are more common in women than men. The natural remedy for UTIs that most people commonly think of is cranberries. But, consuming cranberries, cranberry supplements, or cranberry juice for a UTI is only somewhat effective. However, when it comes to preventing a UTI, cranberry supplements may be beneficial. The #1 remedy for a UTI is a combination of oregano oil capsules and thyme capsules. Both oregano and thyme are potent natural antibiotics. The oregano oil supplement should be at least 60% carvacrol to be beneficial. You may want to try taking at least 200 mg of oregano oil four times per day and 500 mg of thyme once a day for a UTI. Another great urinary tract infection remedy that you can add to this regimen is two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed into 16 ounces of water. Other natural tips to help you get rid of a UTI fast: • Drink at least 2.5 liters of fluid per day • Consume a natural diuretic (asparagus, dandelion greens, or potassium citrate) Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Discover the hidden cause of stiff arteries.

Unfortunately, heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure are common problems. So, today we’re going to talk about what causes arterial stiffness or calcified arteries. Common causes of stiff arteries:  • Age • Inflammation  • A high-carb, high-sugar diet  • Omega-6 fatty acids There is one additional cause of hardened arteries that many people are unaware of, and it’s a vitamin K2 deficiency. Vitamin K2 drives calcium into the bones to help make them stronger and keeps calcium out of the arteries and the walls of the arteries. Vitamin K2 may decrease the risk of heart attack by 50 percent. Foods high in vitamin K2: • Meats  • Organ meats  • Egg yolks  • Grass-fed butter  • Dairy  • Yogurt Adding vitamin K2 to vitamin D3 is a fantastic way to support the arteries. For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 you take, you should also consume 100 mcg of vitamin K2. It’s important to note that people who take a calcium supplement (1,000 mg or more a day), with or without vitamin D, increase the risk of a heart attack. This could be because of the lack of vitamin K2. It’s also important to keep in mind that one of the side effects of warfarin is vascular calcification. To support the arteries, get on a low-carb diet, avoid omega-6 fatty acids, and consume foods rich in vitamin K2. If you take a vitamin K2 supplement, it may be best to take vitamin D3 as well.
