Potassium is very important for the body, but your muscles need most of it. Here’s why.  

Timestamps:

0:25 The sodium-potassium pump 
1:55 Membrane potential 
3:30 Sodium and potassium 
3:50 Fasting and potassium 
4:05 What happens when potassium becomes low 

Today we’re going to talk about why your muscles need most of your potassium. What’s unique about potassium is that it’s one mineral that we need a tremendous amount of. We need 4,700 mg of potassium. Out of all of the tissues in the body, 80% is needed mainly for your muscles. 

There are billions of little pumps (sodium-potassium pumps) in the body that keep potassium on the inside of the cell and sodium outside of the cell. Any time you have two different minerals that are held apart like that, by a pump and by a membrane, you create a battery. The flow of electrons generates a certain amount of energy that’s stored in the battery. Your cells are mini batteries. Potassium is needed as a raw material to make sure the pump works. 

Because this pump allows two potassium in and three potassium out, that difference creates a voltage. In the muscle, it’s about 90 millivolts compared to the skin, which is about 50 millivolts. 

The voltage is the power of the battery created by the difference of potassium and sodium held apart. Another term for this is called membrane potential. When it’s at rest, it’s like a battery, but when it gets activated, it starts releasing electrical charge that then causes the muscle to contract. It also creates nerve impulses and causes glands to secrete. 

Once the muscle is activated to contract, you lose potassium. The more exercise you do, and the more you sweat, the more you lose electrolytes. If you’re injured, or you go through a surgery or trauma, you will lose potassium. When the thyroid works, you’ll lose potassium. Consuming sugar will also cause you to lose potassium. 

Sodium can be retained in the body, but we typically lose much more potassium. When you do fasting, your body will actually retain more potassium. 

What happens when potassium becomes low:
• You can have muscle weakness
• You can become tired
• You can lose endurance
•  Your muscles can start to cramp

3:26 Arsenic poisoning remedies 

In this video, we’re going to talk about the best way to identify arsenic poisoning. I believe the best way to spot arsenic poisoning is actually to look at your nails.

There is a condition called leukonychia, where you basically have a horizontal white band on your nails. This could be arsenic poisoning. 

More symptoms of arsenic poisoning:
• Headache
• Confusion 
• Severe diarrhea 
• Drowsiness 
• Vomiting blood
• Blood in the urine
• Hair loss 
• Cramping 
• Stomach pain 
• Darker skin 
• Thick skin 
• Night blindness
• Vitamin B1 deficiency 
• Increase of hydrogen peroxide 
• Convulsions 

A few arsenic poisoning causes: 
• Rice 
• Your water supply 
• Wine 

If you suspect that you could have arsenic poisoning, you could get a test, such as a hair analysis or blood test, to find out for sure. 

Potential arsenic poisoning detox remedies:
1. Blue-green algae
2. Selenium 
3. Zinc

Don’t do another detox without first doing this!

Timestamps:
0:00 There is something you need to do before you detox
0:25 What happens when you detox
2:05 Phases of detoxification
2:44 Detox reactions
3:40 Do this before you detox

If you’re considering doing a detox, you need to do something first to help prevent the detox reactions.

There is a right way to detox and a wrong way to detox. You need to balance your detox. When you start taking things to purge poisons from the body or kill microbes, endotoxins can be released into the body. This can create an immune reaction.

Endotoxins can turn off the bile flow through the liver and through the bile ducts. Bile can become very toxic to the liver if it’s stuck inside of it. There can be a back-up of toxins in the blood. It also reduces glutathione, which is supposed to help protect you from free-radical damage and oxidation.

Normally there are three different phases of detoxification. You have poison that’s being released, and your body breaks it down into a harmless water-soluble particle. But, phase three is all about the elimination of the toxin through the bile ducts. The endotoxin shuts down the bile flow, which also reduces phase 2 and phase 3, so there is a back-up of toxic waste in the body. This can create detox reactions.

Detox reactions:
1. Herxheimer reaction (flu-like symptoms)
2. Right-quadrant pain
3. Nausea
4. Stool changes
5. Itchiness
6. Vision changes
7. Dark urine

Do this before you detox:
• Take purified bile salts 30 minutes before you start the detox. You could also take purified bile salts about an hour later. If you start to experience a reaction, taking more bile salts may help.

3:00 How to bulletproof your immune system

In this short video, I want to explain whether or not consuming coconut oil will raise your cholesterol. Yes, coconut oil could raise your cholesterol. But, who cares?

There is no research that shows any negative aspects of consuming coconut oil on your heart. There is no data that shows that even if your cholesterol goes up from consuming coconut oil, that you’re going to have a higher risk of a heart problem.

There is fat in coconut oil, and it may temporarily increase your cholesterol. But, it’s not about the total cholesterol. It’s about the LDL. This is known as “bad cholesterol.”

There are two types of LDL:

1. Small dense particles
2. Large buoyant particles

Small dense particles can cause problems. What determines whether or not you have these small dense particles, doesn’t have to do with coconut oil, cholesterol, or fat. It has to do with carbs. If your carbs are high, you’ll have the small dense type of LDL. If you go low carb, you may have high LDL, but it will be the large buoyant type.

A simple test you can do is called an advanced lipid profile test, which can determine what type of LDL you have.

Coconut oil has medium-chain triglycerides (MCT oil). This will typically cause your triglycerides to go down, your HDL to go up, and your insulin to go down.

3:55 Dry eyes
4:32 Night blindness

Today we’re going to talk about the 11 things that your eyes can tell you about your nutritional status.

Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the outer part of the eye. This could be a virus, like pink eye. In this case, you could try colloidal silver and zinc.

Your eyes could also be inflamed from blue light if you’re in front of the computer all day long. There is a free app called f.lux that can filter out the blue light.

The less sleep you have, the more red your eyes can be. If you can’t sleep, you could have a potassium deficiency, calcium deficiency, magnesium deficiency, or a vitamin B1 deficiency.

Allergies could make your eyes red. Vitamin A and vitamin D may help with this issue. Cod liver oil is a good source of both vitamin A and vitamin D.

An immune disorder can occur with the eyes where you have high levels of a certain T cell (T helper cell 17). A good remedy could be vitamin D.

Hemorrhaging of the eye could mean that you need more vitamin C, or vitamin K. Vegetables are high in both of these vitamins.

Light sensitivity to the eyes could be a vitamin B1 deficiency. Nutritional yeast is a great source of vitamin B1.

Vascular keratitis is an inflammatory condition of the eyes that seems to respond well to B vitamins.

Dry eye is a classic symptom of a vitamin A deficiency. Fatty fish, egg yolks, butter, cheese, and cod liver oil are good sources of vitamin A. If you’re already consuming these foods, and you still have dry eyes, you could have a bile deficiency. In this case, purified bile salts may help.

Night blindness could be an issue of low amounts of vitamin A.

3:10 How to get alpha-lipoic acid

In this video, we’re going to cover the eight benefits of alpha-lipoic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a fat that shouldn’t be confused with alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is an omega-3 fatty acid. Alpha-lipoic acid has a lot of very interesting properties. 

Benefits of alpha-lipoic acid:

1. Powerful antioxidant 
When you’re exposed to various things, you get free-radicals that can damage your DNA, cellular membranes, and mitochondria. Alpha-lipoic acid could help protect you from that. 

2. Glucose sensitizer 
Alpha-lipoic acid could help normalize glucose levels. 

3. Insulin sensitizer
Alpha-lipoic acid could help normalize insulin levels. 

4. Increases glutathione 
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that your body can make in the liver. It’s known as the master antioxidant. 

5. Inhibits cancer
It may inhibit certain types of cancer. 

6. Helps with autonomic neuropathy  
This is a very common yet under-diagnosed condition related to diabetes. A good remedy may be to not only get on keto and intermittent fasting but to also start taking 600-1800mg of alpha-lipoic acid. 

7. Protects cell membranes 
Alpha-lipoic acid mainly deals with the protection of lipids. This is why it could help protect your cell membranes. If there’s damage to the membrane, all sorts of issues could happen. 

8. Could help with diabetic retinopathy 
High levels of sugar can damage the retinas. Alpha-lipoic acid may help minimize the damage to the retinas. Doing keto and intermittent fasting may also be beneficial. 

If you’re going to take alpha-lipoic acid as a supplement, you may want to take it on an empty stomach. If you have a major condition you’re trying to deal with, the supplement form may be the most beneficial. 

You can also get alpha-lipoic acid from:
• Organ meats 
• Spinach 
• Broccoli 
• Brussels sprouts 
• Tomatoes

3:09 Sources of tocotrienols 
3:36 The best type of vitamin E 

Today we’re going to talk about the best type of vitamin E. In nature, vitamin E always comes in a complex. The vitamin E complex is composed of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. When I mention four, I’m talking about the four different forms (alpha, beta, delta, gamma). 

The type of vitamin E that most people need more of is tocotrienols. You can very easily get tocopherols from the diet, so they usually aren’t needed in supplement form. Tocotrienols are more difficult to get from the diet. 

Tocotrienols are different from tocopherols in that they are 5000 times faster at handling free radicals. 

Vitamin E, in general, is a powerful lipid antioxidant, and one of the main functions is the protection of lipids. Lipids are in the cell membrane. Without vitamin E, all sorts of things can happen to the cell membranes. 

Tocotrienols are like little antioxidants that are spinning extremely fast to clean up and neutralize free radical damage. 

Potential benefits of vitamin E (especially tocotrienols):
• They may be anti-cancer. 
• They may be cardioprotective. 
• They may be liver-protective.
• They support the cell membranes of the skin, brain, nervous system, and the inside of the arteries.

Sources of tocotrienols:
• Rice (not keto-friendly) 
• Palm oil
• Annatto (might be one of the best sources) 

If you’re going to take vitamin E, it may be best to get the whole vitamin E complex, including both tocopherols and tocotrienols. Or you could try getting tocopherols from your diet, and get tocotrienols from a product made from annatto.

Could your stress be what’s preventing full ketosis and causing your keto plateau?

0:00 Ketosis and stress

2:06 What you could do

In this video, we’re going to talk about how stress could prevent full ketosis. If a person plateaus or they aren’t progressing like they should on the keto diet, in many cases, they look at their carbohydrate levels, fasting, or fats. But, stress could actually cause this as well. Stress may actually prevent ketosis. 

A very interesting article by P.F. Slawson out of the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1963, states that “80% of the adult diabetic patients gave a history of pre-existing stress (mainly in terms of losses 1-48 months) prior to the onset of T2DM.” T2DM refers to diabetes type 2. 

When I was in practice, I noticed the same thing. It seemed that people who developed diabetes, usually had a history of some stress event, or they were under massive stress. 

When you spike cortisol, which is a stress hormone, you could start to break down your protein and turn it into glucose. Basically, when you have a lot of stress, your blood sugars rise. This could create insulin resistance, which could lead to diabetes. Synthetic cortisol, like prednisone, may have the same effect. 

What may help:
• Start increasing your exercise 
• Vitamin B1(nutritional yeast) 
• Potassium (vegetables) 
• Magnesium (vegetables)

In this video, we’re going to talk about excessive thirst. Excessive thirst is typically a symptom of something else going on. We’re going to cover why you might be experiencing excessive thirst, and what to do about it.

A few causes of excessive thirst:

1. Habit
Some people drink a lot of water simply out of habit, but they’re not really thirsty. However, drinking a lot of water and not exercising could lead to a condition called hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is a situation where you have low sodium.

2. Diabetes
If you consume a lot of sugar, or you have a blood sugar problem, this could cause you to lose more water. This loss of water will then trigger something in your brain that tells you to drink more water. With this situation, we’re talking about diabetes mellitus.

3. Low potassium
If you don’t eat vegetables, and you’re not taking a potassium supplement, you could become potassium deficient. A potassium deficiency alone could cause excessive thirst.

4. High sodium
A diet high in sodium and low in potassium could cause excessive thirst. Foods with hidden sodium like MSG can also cause this issue.

5. Drugs (diuretics, steroids, psych drugs)
Certain drugs can cause excessive thirst.

6. High calcium
Having high amounts of calcium in the blood is called hypercalcemia. This condition can trigger similar effects to diabetes, including excessive thirst. One rare cause of hypercalcemia is cancer. Other potential causes could be hyperparathyroidism, lithium, or high amounts of vitamin D.

Remedies for excessive thirst:
• Drink when you’re thirsty
• Get enough sea salt in your diet (about 1 tsp.)
• Get on a low carb diet
• Consume lots of foods high in potassium

What could have caused your diabetes? Is a fatty pancreas to blame? If you have diabetes, this video is for you.

A person who is healthy should have a blood sugar on average of about 80. This means that you have about 1 tsp. of sugar in your blood.

Insulin takes extra sugar out of the blood and hides it in other places in the body. Insulin levels are rarely tested. However, if an average American did have their insulin tested, it would probably be very high because of the amount of sugar they consume. In order to deal with the excess sugar, insulin has to work overtime.

Insulin converts sugar into the fat cell. Then, it starts putting it into the subcutaneous fat (superficial layer of fat just beneath your skin). Later, you could start developing ectopic fat, which is the fat outside of the fat cell and outside of the subcutaneous fat. At this point, the fat is being stored in the liver, muscles, and heart. Eventually, this fat will spill over into the pancreas. When this happens, you’re also developing insulin resistance as a protective mechanism.

You won’t really develop diabetes until the pancreas starts filling up with fat. The pancreas is being clogged up with fat. This is what’s creating the dysfunction, which can cause diabetes.

Diabetes is a state where the blood sugars start to go too high. This happens because you lose the insulin function, which happens because the pancreas is clogged up.

What you could do about it:
• Healthy keto
• Intermittent fasting
