The vitamin that can help support weight loss is vitamin D.

A few causes of a vitamin D deficiency:

• Obesity

• Diabetes

• High blood pressure

• Autoimmune conditions

• Inflammation

The common thread in all of the above conditions is insulin resistance. High insulin is behind weight problems.

Vitamin D benefits:

• Lowers insulin

• Lowers inflammation

• Lowers estrogen

• Increases good bacteria

• Decreases metabolic syndrome

How to lose weight with vitamin D:

• Get more sun

Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs: The Biggest Mistake May 15, 2020

Today we’re going to talk about one of the biggest mistakes people make when they have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. I’m also going to show you an effective plantar fasciitis stretch that may help with this condition.

What is plantar fasciitis?

The plantar fascia is a connective tissue sheath right underneath the foot. A lot of times, it can become inflamed, and you’ll feel pain mainly in the heel area, but sometimes in the middle of the foot. You could have micro-trauma going on, or you could also have a build-up of uric acid crystals. You could even have oxalate crystals that are depositing in your foot from certain things that you’re eating.

Some people think that heel spurs are what’s causing their foot pain. But, this is not what’s actually causing the heel pain. There are a lot of people with spurs who don’t have pain, and people with pain that don’t have heel spurs.

One of the biggest mistakes people make with plantar fasciitis is stretching the calf or foot. Stretching this soft tissue when you have micro-tearing can aggravate the tears. The last thing you want to do is stretch something that is torn or irritated.

Oxalates come from certain foods. They can form kidney stones and can deposit in your joints, causing foot pain.

Avoid these high oxalate foods:

• Spinach

• Almonds

• Parsley

• Chocolate

• Peanuts

• Kiwi

You could also try consuming cheese or calcium with the above foods because the calcium will bind with the oxalates and block some of the absorption.

In this podcast, I’m back to talk about hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide hacks.

You can use the hydrogen peroxide you may have in your medicine cabinet, which is probably about 3%. Or, you may have a food-grade hydrogen peroxide that can also be used.

How hydrogen peroxide works:

Your white blood cells make hydrogen peroxide to kill off bacteria, funguses, viruses, parasites, and candida.

What hydrogen peroxide does:

Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the layer of microbes and destroys the cell wall of invading microbes.

A few hydrogen peroxide uses:

• To clean cuts

• Gargle with hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide mouthwash:

• 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide (15g)

• 4 tablespoons of water (60g)

Swish the mixture in your mouth for 30 seconds. Do not swallow.

Uses of hydrogen peroxide mouthwash:

• Gargle with it if you have a sore throat

• Swish it in your mouth to kill off and cleanse the microbes in your mouth

A few more hydrogen peroxide hacks:

• Remove stains on your clothes

• Clean your vegetables (Mix 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide with 2 cups of water, let your vegetables soak in the mixture for a few minutes, rinse)

Today we’re going to talk about how to increase your gut bacteria diversity.

Why would you want to increase your gut bacteria or diversify your good bacteria? Because the more diversified your gut microbes are, the more gut bacteria benefits you’re going to have with:

• Insulin resistance

• Weight loss

• Reducing inflammation

• Reducing allergies

• Strengthening the immune system

• Increasing the bioavailability of nutrients

How to increase your gut bacteria diversity:

1. Fiber (vegetable fiber)

2. Different vegetables

3. Losing weight

4. Fasting

5. Polyphenols

6. Fermentation

What will decrease the diversity of your good bacteria:

1. Snacking

2. Sugar

3. Antibiotics

4. Alcohol

5. GMO foods (glyphosate)

6. Artificial sweetener

7. Being overweight

8. Frequent eating

9. Stress

In this short podcast, we’re going to talk about caffeine and hair growth. I’m not saying you should go and pour some coffee over your head. But, there is some research on the effects of caffeine for hair growth.

Interesting effects of caffeine:

1. Stimulating hair follicle growth

2. Counters the suppressive action of DHT (DHT blocks and suppresses hair growth)

3. Stimulates faster hair growth

*There are caffeinated shampoos that may work as a hair loss shampoo.

One reason some older men and women experience hair loss is because of their free testosterone going down. A lot of other problems can accompany a low testosterone issue. But, in this situation, zinc can also be very beneficial. Zinc is important in helping to regulate testosterone.

Hidden Cause of Depression and Anxiety May 13, 2020

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a hidden cause of depression and anxiety. It has to do with your microbiome—the good bacteria in your gut.

There is actually a connection between your brain and your colon through what’s called the vagus nerve. But, what’s interesting about the vagus nerve is that only 10% of the information is going from the brain to the colon. 90% of the information is going from the colon to the brain. So, you’re getting a lot of feedback in your brain from things that are happening in your gut.

The microbiome (your good bacteria) makes a lot of neurotransmitters, which are identical to the ones that your own body makes.

Your microbiome makes:

• Acetylcholine

• GABA

• Norepinephrine

• Serotonin

• Dopamine

All of these neurotransmitters can help make you feel calm, stress-free, and happy. If there is a problem with your microbes making these neurotransmitters, you might not feel that great.

This part of the nervous system is a part of what’s called the parasympathetic, which is all about rest, digestion, and recovery. It’s possible that things like depression and anxiety can occur if your gut is not right.

Your good bacteria also eat fiber from vegetables, and they make small-chain fatty acids. This is a specific type of fat that can provide 90% of the energy for the colon cells. It can also help improve insulin resistance and supports the integrity of the gut lining. There is a huge connection between your state of well being and your digestion.

On the flip side, if you’re stressed, this can also affect your digestion.

Today we're going to talk about the consequences of high estrogen in men and what you can do if you're a man who has have too much estrogen.

Consequences of high estrogen in men:

1. It can increase the risk of stroke

• Excess estrogen can increase the risk of blood clots that can lead to stroke.

2. Too much estrogen can be dangerous to the cardiovascular system

• Estrogen (estradiol) is typically at higher levels when someone has a heart attack, and when men have atherosclerosis.

3. Estrogen dominance can cause an enlarged prostate

• Estrogen is an anabolic hormone. It grows things.

What causes high estrogen in men? It could potentially be because of:

• Soy products

• Endocrine disrupters

• Dairy

• Too much aromatase (This could be the #1 reason, and it’s likely because of belly fat)

What to do:

• DIM

• Stinging nettle root

• Cruciferous vegetables

• Reduce insulin (do healthy keto and intermittent fasting)

Today we’re going to talk about fasting as a potential natural antidepressant. There are a lot of positive and amazing things that can happen in your body from doing fasting that go way beyond just losing weight and getting rid of your hunger.

I found a fascinating study that involves fasting improving mood. Here are a few things from the study:

1. They found that orexin signaling activity increases. Orexin increases wakefulness, it increases dopamine, and it’s associated with happiness.

2. Fasting can increase endorphin release. Endorphins increase pleasure and decrease pain.

3. Fasting can increase CREB-TF, which signals certain genes that increase serotonin.

4. It could increase BDNF, which can help you grow new brain cells.

Other things you could do to potentially help with depression:

• Fish/cod liver oil (DHA, EPA)

• Vitamin D

• Choline

• Whole eggs

• Curcumin

• High-fat diet

Hydroxychloroquine May NOT Work Without Taking Zinc May 12, 2020

Today we’re going to talk about something really important concerning COVID-19 and hydroxychloroquine.

Dr. Anthony Cardillo is using hydroxychloroquine with zinc and is having great success. His patients are actually becoming asymptomatic within 8-12 hours.

Hydroxychloroquine should not be taken without a prescription from your doctor, and it also shouldn't be taken if you’re healthy.

Hydroxychloroquine allows zinc to go into the cell. If there’s more zinc in the cell, then the virus (COVID-19) can’t reproduce.

Dr. Anthony Cardillo has found that hydroxychloroquine only works with zinc. Zinc does a lot of things, including increasing resistance to infection and decreasing susceptibility to viruses.

People with viruses like COVID-19 typically have a zinc deficiency.

Zinc not only helps the immune system, but you need zinc inside the cell to help kill the virus. Hydroxychloroquine may be able to do that if there is enough zinc inside of the body.

You might want to consider taking zinc as a preventative measure right now just as an immune-supporting nutrient.
