0:58 The problem with CT scans
1:20 What to do if you need a CT (CAT scan)

I wanted to make this quick video about CT scans vs MRI scans. How do these scans differ? 

CT is short for computerized tomography, and MRI is short for magnetic resonance imaging. Here is the biggest difference between the two:

• CT scans use X-ray radiation but are much faster than MRIs.
• MRI scans use radio waves and magnets to create a very detailed image. 

MRI scans are great for taking images of:

• Joints
• Brain tissue
• Breast tissue
• Blood vessels
• Discs
• Organs
• Torn ligaments

CT scans are great for taking images of:

• Bone fractures
• Tumors
• Cancer
• Internal bleeding

Problems with getting CT scans: 
• The amount of radiation that a single scan exposes you to is equivalent to 200 chest X-rays. 
• You often need to go back for subsequent scans, which exposes you to even more radiation. 
• Too much radiation can cause damage to your DNA.

When talking about CT scans vs MRI scans, you can see that MRIs are the best way to go. However, there are certain situations where only a CT scan will work. In that case, I recommend doing three things to help offset the effects of the radiation on the body:

• Take niacin
• Fast before and after
• Consume cruciferous vegetables

Hashimoto’s:

In this video, we’re going to talk about how to get your thyroid to work better.

The pituitary releases a hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone. This hormone tells the thyroid to release T4 and T3. T4 is the inactive thyroid hormone that converts to T3, which is the active thyroid hormone.

If you have low thyroid stimulating hormone—you have enough. If this hormone is high, you need more of these hormones. It’s then going to increase to produce more of the hormones. 

The two main problems with a hypothyroid condition:
1. You’re not making enough thyroid hormone (usually T4)
What’s usually happening is something is suppressing the function of the thyroid. Keto and intermittent fasting will help greatly improve thyroid function. 

Things that can suppress thyroid function:
• Cortisol
• Estrogen
• Insulin 
• Bile/liver

2. Or, you’re not covering T4 to T3
If you’re on the ketogenic diet, you’re already eating foods that will give you the above vitamins and minerals, and when on keto, the need for T3 goes down. Also, if there’s a problem with the liver or gallbladder, you’re not going to convert T4 to T3. Taking bile salts will help improve the conversion. In order to convert T4 to T3, you need cofactors—helper vitamins and minerals.

You need:
• Selenium 
• Iodine
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin A
• Zinc
• B2
• B6
• B12
• Iron 

Other things that can interfere with thyroid function:
• Antacids
• High blood pressure medications
• Statins
• Diuretics
• Antibiotics
• Excessive iron
• Phytic acid (grains)
• Coffee/Tea (depletes certain nutrients)
• Sugar
• Soy 
• Dairy

If you have Hashimoto’s, you need:
• Vitamin D
• To do intermittent fasting
• Selenium

2:38 Another point about gluten-free

Are whole grains healthy, or are these grains destroying your brain? Many people say whole grains are healthy for you but are they really?

Most whole grains contain gluten. Gluten is a protein in certain grains—especially wheat. People typically associate gluten with digestive problems. However, there is another condition related to gluten that’s destroying your brain. It’s called gluten ataxia. 

Gluten ataxia is a lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movement. It is an autoimmune disease triggered by gluten that destroys the cerebellum. Only 10% of the time do people have GI symptoms. 40 % of people have GI damage, but only 10% show symptoms. Once your cerebellum is damaged, it’s very difficult to reverse the damage. 

Gluten ataxia can cause problems with:

• Gait – balance
• Speech
• Eyes
• Posture

1st symptoms of gluten ataxia:

• Decreased focus
• Brain fog
• Mood disorder
• Cognitive decline 

Consider not consuming grains for this reason and try healthy keto. 

Another thing to keep in mind is that even though there may not be gluten in the grains, you still have grains. Those grains will turn to sugar fast and spike insulin, which can create a lot of other problems.

I wanted to create this short video to really emphasize that grass-fed beef is not the same as grass-finished beef. 

Grass-finished beef vs. grass-fed beef (grain-finished beef)

Grass-finished beef:

• 0 grains
• All grass
• Takes 30 months

Grain-finished beef:

• 150 days GMO grains
• Takes between 10-14 months
• Digestive gas (10x more acid in their intestines and less fermentation)

Just because something says it’s grass-fed does not mean it’s grass-finished. If it doesn’t say it’s grass-finished, then it’s grain-finished. Organic also does not mean grass-fed or grass-finished. 

Organic means:

• No pesticides
• No hormones
• No antibiotics

0:49 The problem with not doing healthy keto
1:29 The signs of nutrient deficiencies
1:55 The main point
2:32 Try using these supplements
4:05 Other causes of low appetite

In this video, we’re going to talk about fasting, appetite, and nutrient levels. As soon as people start doing intermittent fasting, their appetite goes away, they feel better, they have less inflammation, and they have more energy. But, the thing that most people focus on is weight loss. Many think that the more weight they lose, the healthier they are. But weight loss is just one part of getting healthy.

One problem that many people have is they begin to stop doing healthy keto. This is a huge problem, especially when you’re doing one meal a day. Why? Because this can cause some serious nutrient deficiencies. Some nutrient deficiencies take a long time to develop. Others happen quickly. Vitamin B12, for instance, can be stored in the body for up to a year. Other nutrients like potassium aren’t stored for very long.

If you felt great when you first started intermittent fasting, but down the road, you started to feel worse and worse, this is a sign of a nutrient deficiency.

Signs you may have nutritional deficiencies:

• Tiredness
• Dizziness
• Weakness
• No endurance
• Hair loss
• Brittle nails
• Mood changes
• Cognitive issues

When you do intermittent fasting, make sure you also do healthy keto. The meals that you consume need to be nutrient-dense, or you will experience nutrient deficiencies. It can also help to take nutrient supplements with your meals. Often times, it’s difficult to get enough nutrients, even with three meals a day.

If you start consuming just one meal a day on your intermittent fasting program, you should increase your intake of:

• Omega 3 fatty acids (unless you consume salmon and other fatty fish every other day)
• Protein (8-10 oz. athletes may need more)
• Vitamin C/E/B9/D (eat your vegetables!)
• Minerals
• Trace Minerals

4:55 What about vitamin K1?
5:47 Triage theory
6:45 Why people have calcium building up in the wrong place
7:24 What to do
7:47 A preventative measure

In this video, we’re going to talk about vitamin K2 and pathological calcification. 

What is pathological calcification?
This is a condition in the body where calcium is developing in the wrong places. 

It can be involved in the:

• Arteries 
• Stomach 
• Kidneys
• Lungs
• Breast tissue
• Cornea

Pathological calcification basics:

• Calcium is developing in the soft tissues, not in the bone
• The calcium could be developing to act as a bandaid because there is oxidation in the vascular system or a certain part of the body
• You may not have enough vitamin E or selenium to protect the oxidative lesion
• You may have ischemia adding to the problem 
• Calcium tends to accumulate in certain parts of the body involving the control of pH—the tissue is too alkaline
• Nanobacteria are the smallest known bacteria. They hide in calcium shells to protect themselves, and they’re almost impossible to kill with antibiotics. They are also involved in many diseases that have calcification connected to it. 

Vitamin K2 is involved in about 17 different proteins involving the movement of calcium out of the soft tissue and back into the bone. Vitamin K2 is a common vitamin deficiency. 

Foods high in vitamin K2:

• Organ meats
• Egg yolks
• Butter
• Hard cheeses
• Goose liver
• Natto (fermented soybeans)

Foods rich in vitamin K1:

• Leafy greens 

I believe the more common reasons why so many people have calcium building up in the wrong places are: 

• They don’t have enough vitamin K1 to convert to K2
• They aren’t consuming enough K2
• Antibiotics
• Statins
• Digestive issues 
• Fatty liver
• Low vitamin E combined with sugar and carbs

What to do if you have calcification:

• Take fulvic acid
• Take EDTA
• Take vitamin K2
• Consume more vitamin K1 (leafy greens)

If you don’t have any calcification symptoms, as a preventative measure, you should do healthy keto.

0:10 Hack #1 – If you go off the plan, get right back on!
0:38 Hack #2 – Keep keto-friendly desserts on hand
0:59 Hack #3 – Weekly eating plan (keep it simple)
1:38 Hack #4 – Study the topic you have trouble with
2:06 Hack #5 – Avoid environments that will throw you off
2:30 Hack #6 – You do the cooking (for social events)
3:02 Hack #7 – Realize it’s 1000x easier to maintain healthy eating than to get out of a disease!

Here are 7 healthy eating hacks:

1. If you go off the plan, get right back on!
This is a big problem many people have around the holidays. If you break your meal plan on Thanksgiving, don’t give up! Get right back on your meal plan the next day. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to get back on keto.

2. Keep keto-friendly desserts on hand
This is another big thing to remember during the holidays. Always have keto-friendly desserts and treats close by, especially if you’re easily tempted by things like Christmas cookies. You can order keto treats online or make them at home. Here’s a link to some of my favorite recipes: https://ift.tt/2QxuUSt.

3. Weekly eating plan (keep it simple)
Always have a plan ahead of time, so you know what to eat and when. If you don’t have a plan, it’s going to be much more difficult to stick to healthy keto. Just remember to keep it simple. If you need help making a plan, check out this link: https://ift.tt/2qpnmDf.

4. Study the topic you have trouble with
As you go on your healthy keto journey, you’re going to run into something that you have a problem with—whether it’s salt, cravings, or an addiction to french fries. More than likely, I have a video to help you with the problem you’re having.

5. Avoid environments that will throw you off
It goes without saying that that you should avoid hanging out at the all-you-can-eat buffet on the weekends. But you should also avoid going to places that have tempting aromas. For instance, if you’re going to the mall, avoid walking through the food court.

6. You do the cooking (for social events)
You probably know that most social events offer zero food options that are low-carb or keto-friendly. If you can, bring a healthy food option or host at your own home so you can prepare keto-friendly foods.

7. Realize it’s 1000x easier to maintain healthy eating than to get out of a disease!
What you eat today determines your health tomorrow. If you don’t want to have issues with your health, you have to eat healthily. Disease is most often created by bad eating habits.

0:23 The problem with corn
0:54 About GMO corn
1:40 A few things about corn
2:14 Fact or opinion?

In this video, we’re going to talk about America’s most favorite vegetable. Can you guess what it is? 

Corn is America’s most favorite vegetable. It’s debatable whether corn is an actual vegetable, or grain, or fruit. I personally don’t consider it a vegetable. The problem with corn is that it’s not very high in nutrients. It also doesn’t have a lot of fatty acids or amino acids. The other big problem is that 93% of corn in the United States is GMO

The two versions of GMO corn:

• Herbicide tolerant – Resists glyphosate (roundup ready corn)
• BT – The corn is basically an insecticide 

A few more things about corn:

• The government subsidizes corn
• Corn is turned into high-fructose corn syrup
• We use a lot of corn oil 
• The average American consumes 160 pounds of corn per year
• Corn is the most genetically modified food
• 93% of corn in the United States is GMO

Fact or opinion?:
Opinions:
• GMO’s are considered safe
• FDA is “confident that the GE food is as safe as it’s counterpart”
Facts:
• WHO calls the chemicals in GMO foods a probable carcinogen
• FDA does not test for safety for GMO
• Most safety tests done on animals for GMO corn are only for 3 months
• FDA does not require independent safety tests
• FDA does not require companies to submit their full safety studies

0:00 How to Help a Friend Lose Weight
1:04 Problem #1 – Cutting Calories 
1:34 Problem #2 – Low Fat
2:08 Problem #3 – High Carbs 
2:47 Problem #4 – Monitoring Steps + Drinking Lots of Water
3:31 Problem #5 – Weighing Daily
4:45 Problem #6 – Six Small Meals Per Day 

If a family member or friend is trying to lose weight, but they are having a difficult time, this is most often a symptom of a problem in their diet. The #1 thing to do is help educate them about these problems. I’m going to talk about these issues in detail. Take a look. 

1. Cutting Calories 
The most common mistake people make with weight loss is cutting calories. It is true that you want to reduce the frequency of meals, but you don’t want to lower your calories. Calorie reductions can cause:
• Slow metabolism
• Constant hunger
• Nutrient deficiencies. 

2. Low Fat
You need healthy fats in your diet. Many people try to cut back on fats like butter and animal fat, but this is a mistake. Low-fat protein is actually much higher on the glycemic index. What this means is that it will cause your insulin to spike. The more their food choices trigger insulin, the less weight they’re going to lose. Keep in mind that fat has the least effect on insulin.

3. High Carbs 
In the presence of too much insulin, you cannot lose fat. Insulin is a fat-storing hormone. Carbs are very high on the glycemic index. If you are eating carbs, you don’t be able to lose weight, you will have frequent cravings, and you will likely gain even more weight. Cut out the carbs by going on a healthy keto diet. 

4. Monitoring Steps + Drinking Lots of Water
This happens a lot with people who try to lose weight. They count steps, hit the treadmill or stationary bike, and drink lots of water, but they still don’t see significant results. Why? Because these things are only effective if you first work on the diet. In fact, exercise only makes up about 15% of weight loss results. Put more energy into your diet, and you’ll see far more results. 

5. Weighing Daily
As you’ve probably heard me say before, get healthy to lose weight—don’t lose weight to get healthy. If you put too much of your attention on losing weight, you’re doing things backward. The main thing you can do to get healthy is to work on fixing insulin resistance with healthy keto and intermittent fasting. This can take time, so be patient. 

6. Six Small Meals Per Day 
Every time you eat, you trigger insulin. If you consume 6 small meals every day, you are spiking your insulin over and over. This makes weight loss very difficult. Instead, do intermittent fasting. This will help fight off cravings, fix insulin resistance, and burn fat. 

Educate your friends and family on these points. This will give them the basics to help them lose weight.
