I recently had a question from someone wondering why their urine smells like burnt popcorn. Let’s cover why this could happen. 

A strong urine odor that’s similar to burnt popcorn could mean that you’re making a lot of ketones. You’re not making too many to put you in ketoacidosis. But, you’re making a high amount, which is also concentrated. 

This typically happens after a person has been fasting for 16-20 hours. You may especially have smelly urine when you first wake up in the morning because your urine is more concentrated. 

If your urine smells like popcorn, this is not necessarily a bad thing. It could just mean that you’re in some pretty hard-core ketosis. It means that what you’re doing is working. You can even test your urine or blood to really see this. 

What you can do:

1. Adjust your protein (you may be consuming too much protein) 
2. Adjust your fluids (consume more fluids)

When it comes to salmon vs. cod, you might be surprised by which one is actually healthier.

1:38 Thie biggest difference between salmon and cod 
1:54 Which is the healthiest fish? 

In this video, we’re going to talk about salmon vs. cod and which is healthier. One thing to make a note of is that if you choose salmon or cod, make sure it’s wild-caught instead of farm-raised. It’s been thought that you should consume more cod because consuming fatty fish will clog your arteries. But, I don’t believe that’s true at all. 

Salmon (3 oz): 
Protein — 25.4g 
Saturated fat — 1.2g 
Vitamins —
• B3 — 45%
• B12 — 45% 
• B6 — 45%
• B2 — 25% 
• B1 — 15% 
• Folate — 6%

Cod (3 oz):
Protein — 22.8g 
Saturated fat — trace amounts 
Vitamins —
• B3 — 10%
• B12 — 15% 
• B6 — 10% 
• B2 — 4%
• B1 — 6%
• Folate — 2%

Both of these types of fish have a small amount of mercury. But you shouldn’t need to be concerned, because they also have a good amount of selenium. Selenium is used by the body to counter the toxic effect of mercury. 

Here is the biggest difference when it comes to salmon vs. cod:

• Salmon has 2,208mg of omega 3 fatty acids. 
• Cod has 171mg of omega 3 fatty acids. 

In my opinion, salmon is a healthier choice. I also think that when you consume fish, it may be best to leave the skin on it. There’s a lot of benefits from the skin and the fat that’s just underneath the skin.

0:58 Iodine and the thyroid 
1:20 Iodine deficiency 
2:33 Estrogen and iodine 
3:14 Pregnancy and iodine 
3:48 Iodine and the immune system 

Today we’re going to talk about iodine and immune system health. I’ve talked a lot about important nutrients like zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin C in relation to the immune system. But I haven’t talked about iodine. Iodine has a unique influence on the immune system. 

You need about 150mcg of iodine per day. Many people, around 2 billion, are deficient in iodine. Sea kelp seems to be the best source of iodine, but there are other great iodine sources as well. 

The best iodine-rich foods are:
• Sea kelp
• Shellfish
• Fish 
• Eggs
• Dairy 

Iodine is needed for the thyroid. The thyroid is the gland that stores iodine and helps make thyroid hormones. If you’re deficient in iodine, your thyroid stimulating hormone can go up. Thyroid stimulating hormone has a few different functions. One would be that it causes the thyroid to get bigger. Another function is that it increases the release of the thyroid hormone T4, which can then be converted to T3. 

Something else that messes with the thyroid is estrogen. It just so happens that iodine is a great mineral to help lower high levels of estrogen. 

Iodine and all of the trace minerals are very important for pregnant women. If a pregnant woman is deficient in iodine, there could be massive problems for the child, including:

• Intellectual disabilities 
• Deafness 
• Stunted growth 

Iodine and the immune system:

1. Enhances dendritic cells 
2. Supports B-cell development 
3. Helps stimulate phagocytes 
4. Enhances natural killer cells 
5. Enhances cytokines 
6. Good for memory cells

Here’s the fastest way to fix a hoarse voice. Check this out.

0:00 Do you have a hoarse or raspy voice? 
0:40 The two ways you can do this technique 
1:05 How to get rid of hoarseness 
1:55 My demonstration of this technique 
5:35 When this won’t work 

Today we’re going to talk about how to fix a hoarse and raspy voice. My unique technique could help improve this issue in two minutes or less. This technique is so simple yet very powerful. 

You won’t find studies on this. It’s a technique I came up with and used in my clinic from being in practice for 29 years. You can use a device and do this technique yourself, or you can get someone else to help you. 

How to apply this technique:
(reference the video at 1:55 for an in-depth demonstration) 

1. Rate your condition on a scale from 1-10 (10 being very severe)
2. Locate the problem and put your finger on it
3. Apply pressure on the exact opposite side (on the back of the neck) for 1-2 minutes—rate your condition again and adjust the technique 
4. Do this 2-3 times per day 

This may not work completely if you have an infection that needs to simply run its course. But, even in this case, you may still see some improvement in the vocal cords.
