Today we're going to talk about red and green cabbage differences. I'm also going to tell you which type of cabbage is healthier.

Red cabbage vs. Green cabbage:

Benefits of red cabbage:

• 10 times more vitamin A than green cabbage

• More Vitamin C than green cabbage (sauerkraut has about 10 times more vitamin C than unfermented cabbage)

• 2 times more iron than green cabbage

• Anthocyanins (ant-cancer, anti-inflammatory, reduces free radical damage)

Benefits of green cabbage:

• More vitamin A than red cabbage

Both green cabbage and red cabbage contain:

• Phytonutrients

• Sinigrin—sulfur (anti-cancer)

• Polyphenols

• Flavonoids

• DIM

One of the biggest health benefits of cabbage (both types) is for:

• Ulcers and gastritis (juice of the cabbage, sauerkraut, coleslaw)

More cabbage benefits:

• Cabbage is good for the blood sugars

• Cabbage can help balance estrogen dominance

Which type of cabbage is healthier?

Both red cabbage and green cabbage are healthy. Red cabbage has a little bit more nutrients. I actually recommend consuming both types of cabbage.

Today we’re going to talk about referred pain.

What is referred pain?

Basically, referred pain is pain that is coming from a different location than where you hurt.

Referred pain examples:

1. Pancreas

May have referred pain to the left shoulder or the back. It may also not be referred pain and hurt right over the pancreas.

2. Spleen

May refer pain to the left shoulder.

3. Heart

May refer pain to the left arm, shoulder, or jaw.

4. Gallbladder

May refer pain to the shoulder area.

5. Liver

May refer pain to the right shoulder.

6. Ovary

May refer pain to the lower back.

7. Prostate

May refer pain to the lower back.

8. Kidney

May refer pain anywhere underneath the last rib to the spine. A kidney stone can cause pain in the groin area, but the problem is not in the groin.

What causes referred pain?

They don’t really know what causes referred pain.

A very large percentage of people have referred pain versus pain from the actual pain source. If you haven’t had an injury to a certain area, but it starts hurting for no reason, it’s likely referred pain.

What to do for referred pain:

• Healthy keto

• Intermittent fasting

In this podcast, I’m going to talk to you about the different causes of jaundice. Jaundice is a situation where your skin and the whites of your eyes turn yellow. This is caused by bilirubin backing up into the skin.

Bilirubin is a compound that comes from the breakdown of red blood cells. This happens because your liver isn’t clearing them out. With infants, this can mean that their liver is underdeveloped. With adults, it’s typically liver damage.

There are 8 things you can try to help get rid of jaundice.

1. Sunlight (or phototherapy)

2. Vitamin D

3. Rosemary

4. Lemon juice

5. Ginger

6. Amla berry

7. Oregano

8. Milk thistle

Give these a try and see if they help you get rid of jaundice.

Sharp Stomach Pain That Comes and Goes May 17, 2020

Today, we’re going to talk about why you might have sharp stomach pain that comes and goes.

What causes stomach pain that comes and goes?

1. SIBO

The worst thing to consume if you have SIBO is vegetables. If you have SIBO, try taking betaine hydrochloride.

2. Inflammation/Ulcer

This could be caused by damage from something you’re eating or a food allergy. Try a food allergy test to identify the problem. For an ulcer, taking chlorophyll may help.

3. Gallbladder/Bile ducts

Eating the wrong types of foods, or high levels of certain hormones can cause a stone. This can create irritation.

4. Pancreas/Duct

Carbs can cause your pancreas to work too hard. If it’s working too hard, the stimulation can interfere with the normal flow of digestive juices, which can cause a lot of problems.

5. Gluten

For some people, this can be poisonous and cause a lot of damage to their system.

6. Fortification (iron)

Enriched flour products contain iron. Excessive amounts of iron can be very toxic and cause a lot of damage.

7. Vegetable oil

Vegetable oils are highly inflammatory to the digestive system.

8. GMO grains

GMO grains are sprayed with glyphosate, which can irritate your digestive system.

9. Low stomach acid

If you don’t have enough acid in your stomach, it will cause food to go through undigested—causing problems. Try consuming apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride.

10. Frequent eating

Intermittent fasting allows the gut to heal and rest.

Other than those things, try consuming moderate amounts of protein and keep your carbs low. Also, consume plenty of vegetables except if you have SIBO.

Hypothyroidism May Not Be a Thyroid Problem May 17, 2020

Did you know that the majority of hypothyroid conditions are not really a thyroid problem? 90% of all hypothyroid conditions are Hashimoto's. This is an autoimmune condition. With this autoimmune condition, the thyroid has antibodies that attack itself. This is immune dysfunction, not necessarily a thyroid problem. But, it does affect the thyroid.

This could be why many people with this condition never see any change—because they're treating the wrong problem. If you look up hypothyroidism, you will see that the cause is low thyroid hormones. But what's causing the low thyroid hormones?

If you have hypothyroidism that's not involved with Hashimoto's, it could be secondary to something else. 80% of the conversion of T4 to T3 happens through the liver. So, if there's something going on with the liver or the gallbladder, it could mean that you're just not getting the conversion of T4 to T3.

You could also have a situation where there is too much estrogen in the body. In this case, the estrogen can block the thyroid.

Some other data talks about consuming too many cruciferous vegetables being behind a thyroid problem. But, the studies on this are very sparse. You would also have to consume a tremendous amount of cruciferous vegetables to deplete enough iodine to cause a weakness in the thyroid. There is no data that says consuming cruciferous vegetables will kill the thyroid.

If you're worried about cruciferous vegetables causing a thyroid problem, you could steam them or ferment them. You could also have some sea kelp to help replace the iodine that could potentially be depleted by cruciferous vegetables. But, cruciferous vegetables can help regulate estrogen, and really, cruciferous vegetables benefit the entire body.

Today we’re going to talk about zinc. I want to cover the key zinc deficiency causes and the things that can help increase your absorption of zinc. I believe zinc is probably one of the most important trace minerals. Over 2 billion people are at least somewhat deficient in zinc.

The big problem with zinc is that we don’t store zinc very well. So, unless you’re consuming it every day, you could end up having a zinc deficiency.

Zinc can affect:

• The reproductive organs

• Skin health

• The immune system

Here are a couple of things that can decrease the absorption of zinc:

• Too much calcium

• Too much iron

• Excessive amounts of copper

• Phytates (bran, rice, grains, corn)

• Cadmium

• Casein

• Gut damage

• A lot of tannins

• A lot of sulfites

• Infection

• Refined sugar

• Stress

Here are a couple of things that can increase the absorption of zinc:

• Strong stomach acid

• Enough protein

• Red meat

• Shellfish (especially oysters)

• Nuts/Seeds

• Cheese

The amount of zinc you should consider getting per day is 8-13 mg.

How Intermittent Fasting Affects Your Heart (Cardiovascular System) May 16, 2020

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about intermittent fasting and how fasting affects the heart.

It all starts with lowering insulin. When you fast, you lower insulin. Insulin controls what type of fuel your body is going to run on.

Fatty acids from fat cells are the main source of fuel to the heart. Your heart actually prefers a type of ketone called acetoacetate.

Fasting switches your body from glucose to ketones. But, when you eat, you go from ketosis to glucose. Ketones also have the ability to feed the heart if the heart is in a damaged state. So, if you have any type of cardiovascular disease, you may benefit from intermittent fasting and providing your body with ketones through a low-carb diet.

More benefits of intermittent fasting for the heart:

• Improvement with atherosclerosis

• Less stiffness in the arteries

• Lower blood pressure

• Improved insulin resistance which will improve your ability to absorb electrolytes

Is vaping actually better than smoking? In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the harmful effects of vaping.

480,000 people die each year from an issue related to smoking. How many years did it take to recognize that smoking kills people? It took 50 years. Vaping has only been around since 2003, and there are no long-term studies on it.

With vaping, you’re actually inhaling an aerosol, which is a certain gas. It’s a vaporized mist of propylene glycol and glycerin. Some of the pods that are used for vaping actually contain more nicotine than a pack of cigarettes. If a person starts to experiment with nicotine before the age of 20, the risk of addiction (to more than just smoking) goes way up. You’re also vaping from a device that has the capacity to explode.

With flavored vaping, the chemicals are cytotoxic to your lungs. There are heavy metals, and it has the ability to impair DNA. It can also cause oxidation to the inside lining of your arteries.

If you feel like you can't live without carbs, this podcast is for you.

Can't live without bread? Did you know this:

• The average American consumes 53 pounds (26 kg) of bread per year.

• The glycemic index of bread is 71 - 81.

• Low-fat bread has too many carbs that turn into fat and then spikes insulin, which blocks the ability to burn the fat.

• A lot of white bread has bleach (chlorine dioxide) in it, which may lead to type 1 diabetes.

• Transglutaminase is an enzyme that can worsen the sensitivity to gluten.

• When you consume whole grains, you're getting bran, which is loaded with phytic acid that blocks zinc.

• The more bread you consume, the more you're deleted of B-vitamins, vitamin E, and zinc. Vitamin B1 and vitamin E are essential for the heart.

Keto-friendly alternatives to bread:

1. Oopsie bread (cloud bread)

2. You can make bread out of almond flour, cauliflower, chia seed, flaxseed, coconut flour, and zucchini

3. My keto-friendly bread recipe

If you're craving bread, you're usually deficient in vitamin B1. Taking nutritional yeast can help reduce these cravings. Healthy keto and intermittent fasting can also help make your hunger go down, making it easier to avoid bread.

There are cases where people take vitamin D and don’t see results. So what do you do when vitamin D doesn’t work?

Why vitamin D isn’t working:

1. You have damage in your digestive system

If your gut isn’t allowing you to absorb vitamin D because of damage, what do you do?

• Take gut-friendly vitamin D such as sublingual, topical, and injected versions

• Get vitamin D from the sun

2. A problem with the vitamin D receptor

If you have a problem with this receptor, vitamin D won’t connect 100%. 30% of the population has a problem with the vitamin D receptor. 40% of obese people have a problem with the vitamin D receptor. There is a simple test you can take to see if you have this problem.

What do you do in this situation?

• Take more vitamin D (40,000-60,000 IUs)

• For every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D, take 100 micrograms of vitamin K2

A few more remedies to enhance vitamin D absorption:

• Omega-3

• Zinc

• Boron

• Magnesium

• Intense exercise
