Did you know you can identify a hormonal imbalance just by looking in the mirror? In this video, I’ll share several visible signs of hormonal imbalance and the specific hormones they relate to. Whether you’re dealing with weight gain, acne, hair-thinning, or fatigue, know what to look for and what you can do about it. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: 7 signs of hormonal imbalance you can see 0:20 The thyroid gland 1:37 Androgens and hormone imbalance signs 2:40 Cortisol 3:07 High estrogen symptoms 3:55 Growth hormone and visible signs of hormone imbalance 4:38 Progesterone 4:56 Insulin Hormone imbalance signs are often very easy to detect, just by looking in the mirror! The thyroid gland is small but controls your digestive system and metabolism. If your thyroid hormones are too high, you may notice bulging eyes, a fast metabolism, significant weight loss, and excessive sweating. A hypothyroid will cause weight gain and hair loss. Around 90% of hypothyroidism is an issue related to the immune system called Hashimoto’s. If you have Hashimoto’s, you’ll want to avoid gluten and increase selenium and vitamin D3. Androgens include testosterone and DHT. High levels of androgens can cause acne, specifically around the jawline and on the back. Women may experience a deepened voice, increased facial hair, and may also notice hair thinning. Men with high androgens may experience balding. To keep your androgen levels normal, avoid carbohydrates, sugar, and starches, and avoid frequent eating. Also, use a high-quality water filter to avoid plastics. High cortisol symptoms include a round face (cortisol face), buffalo hump, and weight gain in the midsection. High cortisol can exaggerate stretch marks in women and speed up aging. High estrogen symptoms include a puffy face, spider veins, skin tags, and melasma. Low estrogen can make you appear older and cause wrinkles. Cholesterol is vital for estrogen production, so certain drugs and low-fat diets could cause your estrogen levels to decrease. When growth hormone declines, you may look older and gain weight in the midsection. Intense exercise for short durations, a low-carb diet, and more sleep can increase growth hormone. High progesterone is rare but can cause fluid retention. Low progesterone is much more common and can cause a puffy face. You might also appear dull and tired, and may experience acne. High insulin symptoms include belly fat, skin tags, and swollen eyes. Low insulin can cause excessive weight loss, cravings for carbs, and constant hunger. Sugar, starch, and frequent eating trigger insulin. Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

The #1 Best Meal for Liver Purification

This is the best meal to detox the liver! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] DATA: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2022.946474/full https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352345X18301620 https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/small-amounts-of-liver-fat-lead-to-insulin-resistance-and-increased-cardiometabolic-risk-factors-yale-researchers-find/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550413118304467 0:00 How to detox your liver 0:10 Liver detox vs. cleanse 0:43 Understanding liver detoxification 9:55 The best foods to detox the liver 12:53 Learn more about how to get rid of a fatty liver! Let's talk about the best meal to detox the liver. It's important to keep in mind that a liver detox is very different from a liver cleanse. Liver "cleanses" won't help you clean your liver in any significant way. But supporting your natural detoxification process may be beneficial. Your liver has two phases of detoxification that help get rid of toxins. The goal of this detoxification process is to turn poisons into harmless water-soluble particles. Some people have a genetic problem with particular detoxification enzymes. This can make you more susceptible to damage from certain toxins. A DNA test can give you the information you need to avoid a certain toxin and better support detoxification. Fixing your diet is the best way to support liver detoxification. You don't need a short-term detox or cleanse. You need to make certain foods that support the liver a part of your regular diet. The best meal for liver detox: • Eggs cooked with onions, garlic, and sea salt • Cruciferous vegetables • Kefir with walnuts and low-carb, no-sugar chocolate chips • Add herbs to your meal like thyme, sage, oregano, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and rosemary Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

This Vitamin MISCONCEPTION is Dangerously Unhealthy!

Claims that vitamin E can cause cancer and cardiovascular damage have left many people confused, to say the least. In this video, I’ll explain the difference between tocopherols and tocotrienols and why you may want to check the label on your vitamin E supplements. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Vitamin E explained 0:29 Tocopherols vs. tocotrienols 1:06 The benefits of tocotrienols 3:52 The benefits of tocopherols In nature, vitamin E exists in a complex. If you’re taking a vitamin E supplement that contains a-tocopherol, this can act as a pro-oxidant rather than an antioxidant, as it is only a fragment of the vitamin E complex. There are 2 types of vitamin E: tocopherols and tocotrienols. Tocotrienols are far more powerful and have the following potential benefits: •Anti-cancer effects •Potent anti-inflammatory •Increases lifespan in animal studies •Neuroprotective •Similar effects to statins on oxidative LDL •Supports cardiovascular health •Beneficial for workout recovery •Beneficial for age-related cognitive decline •Reverses damage from radiation •Scar tissue protection •Slows progression of liver cirrhosis Tocopherols do support and protect the cell membranes, and there is more research being done on tocopherols. They are also easier to find in many foods, such as green vegetables, seeds, nuts, olives, and olive oil. Tocotrienols are more difficult to find in food and may be easier to take as a supplement. They’re found naturally in annatto and red palm oil. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 59, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan, and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media. #health #keto #ketodiet #weightloss #ketolifestyle #intermittentfasting #lowcarb Thanks for watching!

This also allows you to control the pitch and volume of speaking and singing more easily. Here’s how to relieve a sore throat step-by-step: 1. Locate where the problem is 2. Draw a circle to the same spot on the opposite side of the neck 3. Press with 2 fingers on the spot while holding the head 4. Hold for 1 to 2 minutes Find the most tender spot! Assess if the tenderness moved up or down after implementing the technique. If so, try again on the most tender area. This sore throat remedy helps improve circulation and space in the area.

Is Seed Oil Worse than Sugar? - Seed Oil or Sugar

Which do you think is worse for your health: sugar or omega-6 fatty acids? Find out. For more details on this topic, check out the full article on the website: ➡️ https://drbrg.co/47mXTxI Videos on Sugar: ▶️ https://youtu.be/touPC69jMsg ▶️ https://youtu.be/cPyFIvCvh8U ▶️ https://youtu.be/rczpsqO40mE Omega 3:6 Ratio: ▶️ https://youtu.be/CN5ekrfC4wY Grass Fed vs. Grass Finished Beef Video: ▶️ https://youtu.be/fSgmqsl3Twk ▶️ https://youtu.be/70SUKkUaMo4 0:00 Introduction: Sugar vs. omega-6 fatty acids 9:44 Which is worse: sugar or omega-6 fatty acids 9:54 Omega-3, omega-6 ratios 14:23 The effects of omega-6 on DNA 15:58 Learn more about grain-fed beef vs. grass-fed beef Today we’re going to discuss which is worse: sugar or seed oils packed with omega-6 fatty acids. Common seed oils are: • Soy oil • Corn oil • Canola oil • Cottonseed oil • Safflower oil • Sunflower oil On average, we’re consuming way too many foods high in omega-6 fats. Ideally, a person should consume a 1:1 ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids. However, the average ratio is 15:1. This imbalance can lead to all kinds of health problems, especially in the cell membranes. Refined sugar also leads to health issues and is converted to fat, but the extra sugar doesn’t accumulate in the body like omega-6 fatty acids do. Omega-6 fatty acids (seed oils) lodge into your cells and accumulate in your tissues for 600 days. They are not water-soluble like sugar is and can't be burned off like sugar can. Both refined oils and refined sugar can deplete important nutrients. While certain whole foods, like fruit, have sugar, they also have nutrients and phytonutrients to help replenish what was lost and provide protection. But seed oils are a highly refined, over-processed part of a seed that doesn’t have any protective factors. To make seed oils they also use a solvent called hexane to extract the oil from the seed—is it possible some of this solvent could end up in the oil? Overall, while sugar isn't good for you, omega-6 fatty acids are worse for your health than sugar is.
