So Tired But Can’t Go to Sleep? Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

Can’t fall asleep, even if you’re tired? Try these simple tips and tricks.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about what to do if you’re tired but can’t sleep.

Have you ever felt exhausted, but you can’t seem to fall asleep? If so, you’re in the right place. Try these 7 tips for falling asleep easier when you’re tired:

1. No water past 7 pm - Consuming water before bed can cause you to feel like you have to use the restroom, especially if you have insulin resistance or pre-diabetes.

2. Limit caffeine intake - One 8oz cup of coffee a day should be your limit. Excess caffeine can make it difficult to fall asleep.

3. Limit protein - Too much protein can act as a stimulant. Keep your protein consumption to 3 to 8 oz per meal.

4. Use up body energy - Having too much energy before bed can make it difficult to fall asleep. Try using up your energy by going on long walks, exercising, and doing physical work.

5. Catch the first circadian wave - Your first circadian wave is typically around 9:30 pm. Try to catch this wave to make falling to sleep easier.

6. Take a sleep aid before bed - Natural sleep aids can help you get to sleep faster when it comes time for bed. Calcium lactate is a great natural supplement that can help with sleep.

7. Keep your room on the colder side - A warm body temperate may keep you up at night. People tend to sleep better in a slightly cool environment.

The Ketogenic Diet Started in the 1800s Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

How and when did the ketogenic diet start? Find out.

Today, I want to cover when the ketogenic diet started.

— In 500 B.C., epilepsy was treated (likely unknowingly) with ketones.

— In the late 1800s, a man named William Banting discovered that restricting carbohydrates could help you lose weight. He wrote a book in which he talked about restricting bread, sugar, and potatoes and eating meat, fish, vegetables, mutton, and kidneys. However, he did consume small amounts of biscuits, toast, fruit, and alcohol.

— In the 1920s, the ketogenic diet was used for epilepsy.

— In 1922, Dr. Fredrick Banting used insulin for diabetes. This allowed diabetics to control their insulin. Before insulin was used for diabetics, a low-carb diet was typically used. It was called the Allen diet, and it was created by Dr. Fredrick Allen. This diet restricted carbohydrates and put certain patients on a very restricted calorie diet.

— The introduction of insulin and diabetes medications lead to the low-carb diet becoming almost obsolete.

— Dr. Atkins promoted a low-carb diet.

— The low-carb diet is now the most popular diet in existence, helping millions of people.

Help Us Sponsor the Right Cancer Research Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

Together we can help sponsor important cancer research. Find out how.

In this podcast, we’re going to be interviewing Guy Tenenbaum.

If you remember from our last interview with Guy, he had stage 4 cancer and was expected to die two years ago.

Guy has made an incredible recovery—and he is joyful because he is alive and well today.

During his recovery, Guy has used diet, nutrition, and fasting to heal his body.

We are working hard to publish research on nutrition and lifestyle-based cancer recovery.

Small lab-based studies have already shown significant improvements in cancer symptoms using natural remedies.

It’s our goal to continue this research until we fully understand why we see these incredible benefits of natural medicine for cancer.

We need your help.

I am personally funding these studies, and I need the help of our viewers to see this research through.

This unique opportunity to help us sponsor the right cancer research could change the way we see natural medicine.

40% of the population today will have cancer at some point in their lives. We want to help lower this number and fight off the cases of cancer that exist today.

Guy has put together a non-profit organization to help fund this cancer research. If you would like to contribute, check out the link above and stay tuned as we move forward with this important cause.

What Food Has the Highest Calcium? Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

Watch this quick video to find out which food has the most calcium.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about which food is highest in calcium.

Cheese is the food highest in calcium. In particular, parmesan cheese is the cheese highest in calcium.

You can also get calcium from leafy greens, nuts, and seeds.

If you have a prostate problem, high estrogen, or fibroids, you want to avoid cheese. This is because too much cheese can swell the prostate, cause difficulty urinating, and cause frequent trips to the bathroom at night.

The benefits of calcium include:

• Bone health

• Preventing muscle cramps

• Preventing blood clotting

• Supporting your cellular membranes

Without calcium, you can develop holes in your cell membranes and cause fragility. Calcium regulates the resealing mechanism in the cell membrane.

The problem is, if you have chronic inflammation, calcium can build up in your body’s tissues, including your joints, arteries, brain, and eyes.

When calcium builds up in certain areas in the body, it virtually always has to do with chronic inflammation, which overstimulates the healing mechanism that occurs.

It’s vital to address the inflammation in your body to avoid calcium build-up.

Eating Nuts Can Deplete Zinc Aug 21, 2021

Show notes

This is why nuts can deplete your zinc levels—and what you can do about it.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about why eating nuts can deplete zinc.

I’ve talked a lot about why the anti-nutrient phytic acid in grains can deplete zinc. But did you know that nuts also contain phytic acid?

Anti-nutrient phytic acid binds to zinc, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, chromium, copper, and manganese. It also inhibits pepsin, amylase, and trypsin.

Based on a 100g serving of nuts, here is how much phytic acid is in each type of nut:

• Brazil nuts: 1719mg

• Almonds: 1400mg

• Walnuts: 982mg

• Peanuts: 952mg

• Hazelnuts: 648mg

You can reduce phytic acid by...

• Lowering your intake of phytic acid-rich foods (like grains and nuts)

• Support your microbiome

• Germinate your nuts

• Boil or pressure cook your nuts

• Eat nuts after your meal, not with it

• Include high-zinc foods in your diet

Alzheimer's Disease Starts in the Liver Aug 21, 2021

Show notes

Dr. Berg’s D3 & K2 Vitamin ➜ ➜ https://bit.ly/3yXRwi2

Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t start in the brain! Take a look at this.

It’s a common thought that Alzheimer’s is a problem in the brain that starts in the brain. But, there is some interesting data that suggests that Alzheimer’s may originate in the liver.

The liver helps clear out amyloid B plaques so that they don’t spread to other parts of the body. But, when the liver is compromised, it can have a hard time getting rid of that plaquing, which can then develop in the brain.

Symptoms may not arise for 20 years. People often wait until they notice symptoms before they do anything about the problem. So, I want to emphasize this important connection, especially for those who want to prevent Alzheimer’s.

It’s very important to take care of your liver to help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. If you already have dementia, it’s important to immediately start supporting your liver.

Natural remedies to support the liver:

• Bile salts (tudca)

• Vitamin D

• Silymarin (milk thistle)

• Intermittent fasting

Why Does Exercise Increase Lifespan? Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

We all know exercise can help us live longer. But why?

Today, we’re going to dig into why exercise helps you live longer. Endurance running is in our genes. It’s a survival mechanism. Over time, our genes have adapted to anything that increases our survival. When you exercise, a lot of good things happen.

The leading cause of death is cardiovascular disease. So, anything done to improve cardiovascular health would help extend your life.

An interesting study actually compared people who did physical activity vs. inactivity. They found that the group that did physical activity decreased their mortality by 30-40%, adding an additional five years to their life.

Why exercise helps increase lifespan:

• Increased O2 (blood flow)

• Decreased inflammation

• Increased parasympathetics

• Decreased insulin resistance

• Increased growth hormone

How to Reverse Acanthosis Nigricans Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

What is the real cause of acanthosis nigricans? Take a look!
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a condition called acanthosis nigricans.

This condition is characterized by symmetrical hyperpigmentation on the back of the neck, sides of the neck, armpits, and certain other places on the body. The affected areas often have a velvety texture.

Acanthosis nigricans is associated with diabetes, PCOS, Cushing’s syndrome, and metabolic disease. The majority of cases are considered idiopathic—meaning the cause is unknown.

What this condition is really caused by is an excessive amount of insulin—or hyperinsulinemia. This is often a byproduct of unmanaged insulin resistance.

On the web, you will find that the “causes” of increased insulin are related to:

• Tumors

• Carb malabsorption

• Pancreatic cancer

• PCOS

• Trans fats

What are they missing? They are missing the primary cause: eating too many carbs.

The best remedy for acanthosis nigricans is to lower your intake of carbohydrates.

Healthy keto and intermittent fasting are great ways to help get your insulin levels under control.

Give this remedy a try, and let me know how it works for you.

Bile Acid and Cholesterol: The Missing Link Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

Bile acids and cholesterol play important roles in your body. Check this out.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the relationship between bile acids and cholesterol.

Bile acids are made by your liver and the friendly bacteria in your gut.

75% of your body’s cholesterol is made by your body. This means that only 25% comes from your diet.

Many people freak out over dietary cholesterol. However, your body is your primary source of cholesterol.

Bile acids are the primary pathway for cholesterol catabolism. Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into simple molecules. This allows your body to utilize cholesterol and turn it into things like vitamin D, cellular membranes, hormones, and even bile.

50% of your daily cholesterol turnover (the rate of being depleted and replaced) is controlled by your bile.

Bile salts also regulate your LDL to HDL ratio. In fact, bile can lower your LDL levels and increase your HDL levels.

If you lack bile on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, it may cause increased cholesterol levels.

The benefits of bile salts include:

• Regulating cholesterol

• Breaking down fat-soluble nutrients, including vitamins A, D, E, and K.

• Regulating essential fatty acids

• Promoting liver health

• Supporting healthy vision

• Regulating bruising
