When it comes to COVID-19, should you focus on fixing your diet or getting more nutrients as a preventive action? Is fixing the diet or getting certain nutrients a better preventative for COVID-19? Find out.

By fixing the diet, I'm talking about:

1. Doing a low carb diet (keto diet)

2. Doing intermittent fasting

The nutrients:

1. Zinc

2. Vitamin D

3. Vitamin C

COVID-19 risk factors:

• High blood pressure

• Obesity

• Diabetes

• Cardiovascular disease

The COVID-19 risk factors above are metabolic problems. Metabolic problems have something in common: insulin resistance. Metabolic problems weaken the immune system. So, a weak immune system is a symptom of metabolic problems, and metabolic problems can be a symptom of insulin resistance.

Today we’re going to talk about how to get rid of constipation. Specifically, we’re going to talk about what to do if you have constipation after starting the ketogenic diet.

For people who have had chronic constipation before starting the keto diet, you may need a deeper evaluation by your doctor. A natural laxative may also be a helpful constipation remedy.

Here’s what you could consider if you started having constipation after starting keto:

1. Adjust your vegetables

A. Try increasing or decreasing the number of vegetables you consume.

B. Try different types of vegetables.

C. Switch to fermented vegetables or consume some of your vegetables raw, and some of them steamed.

2. Add bile salts

3. Add potassium

4. Add a probiotic

5. Add an herbal laxative

6. Add vitamin B1

*MCT oil may also help

How Long Does Magnesium Stay in the Body? Jun 21, 2020

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about magnesium and how long it stays in your body. Certain minerals go through the body quickly, while other minerals don’t.

For example, minerals like sodium, iron, and calcium tend to be retained in the body. But, magnesium, potassium, and zinc are not held in the body for very long.

What determines the retention or recycling is how healthy the kidneys are. If your kidneys are very healthy, you may only lose a very small amount. But, if your kidneys are unhealthy, you could lose a lot more. There is a huge gap when it comes to how much magnesium your body will hold versus excrete.

The kidneys have the ability to get rid of excess magnesium, so it’s rarely toxic to the body. But, the body will get rid of .5-70% of magnesium within a 24 hour period. It’s very important to get plenty of magnesium.

The average American only consumes 200-300mg of magnesium per day. I believe a person should consume more like 500-600mg per day. Certain diseases, like diabetes, can cause the need for magnesium to go way up. This is because you likely aren’t retaining magnesium if you have blood sugar problems. Drinking a lot of alcohol can also severely decrease the ability to hold magnesium.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about heart arrhythmias and how they relate to excessive amounts of calcium in your cells.

Arrhythmias are a problem with the rhythm of your heart. This could be a minor palpitation or major atrial fibrillation—and anything else that involves an irregular heart rhythm.

The most common cause of arrhythmias is excess calcium stuck in your cells—this is why many arrhythmia medications are calcium channel blockers.

Calcium is one of many electrolytes that supports the function of your heart:

• Sodium controls the “spark”

• Calcium controls the “squeeze

• Magnesium controls the “relaxation”

There are many cannon triggers for heart palpitations:

1. Caffeine

2. Alcohol

3. Sugar

4. Stress (cortisol)

5. Electrolytes (magnesium)

6. Low vitamin D

7. Chocolate

8. Drugs

Each of these will affect calcium physiology—which can cause palpitations.

You can control how much calcium is in your cells with magnesium. Any imbalance of electrolytes can have a short-circuiting effect, which throws off the systems in your body and causes palpitations.

In this podcast, I want to talk about vitamin D and RDAs. You may have seen that the news is now bashing vitamin D. They are saying that you shouldn’t take too much because it’s toxic—it’s now considered dangerous when taking more than 600 IUs. Where is this coming from?

There was recently a study published by the national academy of medicine (NAM). After many years of compiling research, they happened to make a big error—by a factor of ten. Instead of recommending 600 IUs, they should have been recommending 8895 IUs.

RDAs are the recommended daily allowances of nutrients that are considered to be sufficient for over 97.5% of healthy people to prevent a deficiency. Keep in mind that RDAs do not consider unhealthy people.

Today, the data is still wrong and unchanged, which means many people are getting a false recommendation of 600 IUs/day.

This recommendation is crazy—we are facing a massive vitamin D deficiency pandemic right now. Most people are deficient in vitamin D, resulting in problems with…

• Immune system health

• Bone health

• Inflammation

• Increased risk of autoimmune diseases

and much more.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about COVID-19 and false negative testing. There was recently a study published by John-Hopkins, and there seem to many concerns with the data.

When you have a false negative when testing for COVID-19, this means that the test says you do not have the coronavirus when you are actually infected.

Here are the chances of the coronavirus being detected on a COVID-19 test:

Day 1: 0%

Day 4: 33%

Day 5: 62% (First symptoms occur around day 5)

Day 8: 80%

Day 21: 34%

During day 5-8, you will have the highest chance of an accurate test. However, most people do not get tested until they’ve started having more severe symptoms, which is between day 10 and day 21. This means the accuracy of these tests will be low when most people are tested.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about what I think is the most important white blood cell. There are numerous different white blood cells, but the T regulatory cell is the most important. This white blood cell is also called the T suppressor cell or Treg.

What’s unique about this type of white blood cell is that it does the opposite of other white blood cells—it suppresses the immune system. In turn, this gives the immune system balance and prevents the immune system from overreacting. It also helps reduce mucus.

T regulatory cells regulate self-tolerance. This means it helps prevent your immune system from attacking healthy cells. It allows your immune system to tell the difference between your own healthy cells and pathogenic cells. In turn, this helps with preventing autoimmune conditions, including:

• Inflammatory bowel disease

• Type-1 diabetes

• Asthma

• MS

• Rheumatoid Arthritis

• Cytokine Storm

I believe breastfeeding creates the biggest effect on the future of your child’s health. By breastfeeding, you could ultimately help give your child an immune system before they’ve developed it.

What you need to know about the effect of breastfeeding on the immune system:

• There are many different strains of friendly bacteria in breastmilk that are passed over.

• The mother’s antibodies get passed over (antiviral antibodies and antibacterial antibodies).

• There is a lowered risk of respiratory infections, ear infections, allergies, ADD, autism, and asthma.

• T cells will be passed over. T cells can take the immune system to the next level.

• Butyrate can be passed over. This could potentially help prevent allergies and autoimmune diseases.

• The risk of type 1 diabetes could also be decreased.

• There is a more diverse microbiome.

• There is more interferon.

It would be best to breastfeed for a minimum of 6 months. Ideally, the child would have breastmilk for two years.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the best spices and herbs for rheumatoid arthritis.

What’s the difference between a spice and an herb?

• Herbs are the leaves, flowers, and stems of plants.

• Spices are the seeds, fruit, root, and bark of plants.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. This means that your own immune system is attacking itself—mainly the joints. There is a lot of inflammation going on, and it’s really the immune system causing the damage. With rheumatoid arthritis, you have a big problem with the T cells. These cells are doing a lot of destruction to your joints. There is also a certain T cell that is supposed to turn off this immune reaction, and I think this could be where the bigger problem is—it’s not balancing the reaction.

By using certain spices and herbs, you can help decrease the inflammatory process that’s creating the damage. You could also help strengthen the immune system and improve the antimicrobial function.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about sneezing and COVID-19.

Sneezing is actually not one of the symptoms of COVID-19. Most likely, it’s the pollen that’s causing them to sneeze.

For the virus to invade the body, it has to go in through the eyes, mouth, nose, or from touching the face.

The great majority of people with COVID-19 had no symptoms or very mild coronavirus symptoms. Two important factors that determine the intensity of the symptoms is the viral load (how concentrated the virus particles are), and the health of the immune system.

COVID-19 has also been found to be potentially much more contagious than previously thought. But, this also means that COVID-19 could be less deadly than previously thought.

Different variables involved in someone sneezing on you:

1. Number or concentration of viruses (breathing or talking has much less than coughing or sneezing)

2. Velocity

3. Droplet size

4. Distance (3-6 feet)

5. Susceptibility (support the immune system with vitamin D3, zinc, and vitamin C)

6. Environment
