In this video, I want to talk about the benefits of melatonin. Most people see melatonin only as a sleep aid. But there are for more melatonin benefits that you need to know about.

Now, keep in mind that I’m not recommending taking melatonin—unless you are using it for a specific condition. Your body can make its own melatonin naturally.

It’s true that your melatonin levels will drop with age, but you can support them through your diet and other lifestyle choices. I’m going to get into that later in this video.

Let’s talk about the benefits of melatonin. I have 12 benefits here that you should know about:

1. Acts as a potent antioxidant

2. Improves the immune system

3. Reduced inflammation

4. Decreases headaches

5. Helps fight against cancer

6. Helps protect your brain and memory

7. Deceases LH (luteinizing hormone, which is connected to Alzheimer’s disease)

8. Improves GERD symptoms

9. Lowers anxiety

10. Helps fight depression

11. Stabilizes blood sugars

Here’s how you can improve your melatonin levels:
• Avoid light at night
• Get plenty of sun and vitamin D during the day
• Decrease your exposure to blue light in the evening
• Avoid eating before bed
• Get your glucose under control (low-carb keto diet!)
• Avoid TV before bed

The best food for improving melatonin are mushrooms, eggs, fish, and nuts.

Do you need to be concerned about total dietary fat? Here’s what you need to know.

2:08 High fat on keto 

It took the government 40 years for the ban on dietary fat to be lifted. In 2015 the ban on total dietary fat was lifted. You can now consume as much fat as you want. There is no restriction on the consumption of fat. There is also no longer any association between lowering your dietary fat to reduce your cholesterol, to help you lose weight, or to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. 

This change is even in the US Dietary Guidelines documents and website. But, even the nutrition facts labels on different foods at the store are operating off of outdated concepts. This needs to be updated. 

It’s my opinion that when you do keto (a high-fat diet), you don’t have to worry about fats harming your heart or raising your cholesterol. I believe the real problems are refined carbohydrates and sugar.

Find out why lemon water is essential for fasting. Check this out!

2:58 A great remedy
3:02 What causes the body to be too acidic 
5:45 What to do 

In this video, I want to cover why lemon water is essential if you’re doing fasting and the ketogenic diet. 

Typically, when a person thinks of lemons, they think of citric acid. Lemons may help decrease the risk of kidney stones because they help bind with oxalates. There is also some vitamin C in lemons. But, the vitamin C is destroyed if the lemon juice product has been pasteurized. 

What’s interesting about lemon juice, is that within one hour after you consume it, it turns alkaline. Lemons may be beneficial for people that have acidosis. 

Symptoms of acidosis:
• Shortness of breath 
• Labored breathing 
• Headaches 
• Tiredness
• Confusion 
• Tremors 
• Arrhythmias 
• Increased heart rate

You don’t actually want to be too alkaline or too acid. A great remedy for being too acidic would actually be lemon juice. 

What can cause the body to be too acidic:
• Keto/fasting 
• Kidney problems 
• Too much iron 
• Alcohol 
• Lactic acidosis 
• Ketoacidosis 
• Liver problems 
• Excessive exercise 

If you’re doing fasting or keto, mix some lemon (about 1 oz.) in water and drink that to help minimize acidosis and some of the symptoms of acidosis.

Xylitol is widely used and is not dangerous for humans to consume. But, you should be sure to keep xylitol away from your dog. Here’s why.

1:07 Symptoms of hypoglycemia in dogs 

Why is xylitol dangerous for dogs? It’s not actually dangerous for humans and many other animals, but dogs have a different metabolism for xylitol. 

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used in things like gum, toothpaste, keto baked goods, chewable vitamins, and more. 

Xylitol can create a massive insulin release in dogs. This can bring the blood sugars way down and can cause hypoglycemia. 

A few symptoms of hypoglycemia in dogs:
• Weakness 
• Staggering 
• Vomiting 
• Liver damage

Here’s what you should do to reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

In this video, we’re going to talk about Alzheimer’s disease. I recently read a book on this topic, and I want to share this information with you.

Now, you never see Alzheimer’s in young people or children. If you look at the difference between people who are young and people who are old, you will notice a significant shift in hormones.

Between 35 and 50 years old, your estrogen level will decrease by 35%. Progesterone drops 75% between 35 and 50 years of age. You also experience a drop in DHA, pregnenolone, growth hormone (GH), and vitamin D3. Keep in mind that vitamin D3 acts as a hormone.

You also experience an increase of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) as you age. Women see these changes after menopause. LH and FSH increase estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

In this book, the author found a connection between increase LH and Alzheimer’s disease.

Interestingly, smoking cigarettes and ibuprofen reduce LH and Alzheimer’s risk. Now, I’m definitely not saying you should start taking ibuprofen and smoking cigarettes to prevent AD.

The drug Lupron—which is used for endometriosis, fibroids, prostate cancer, and breast cancer—also decreases the risk of Alzheimer’s. Lupron also happens to lower LH. However, Lupron has numerous adverse side effects.

There is one drug without side effects that can also increase LH—melatonin. Melatonin is stimulated by darkness, and it helps you get into a deep sleep. It also helps stimulate your immune system and offers powerful antioxidant properties.

Melatonin has significant effects when it comes to reducing Alzheimer’s risk in women. Men can also see some benefits when taking much larger amounts of melatonin.

Here is what the book recommends for reducing Alzheimer’s risk.

– Females: 75mg of melatonin per day
– Males: 120 mg of melatonin per day
– 300mg pregnenolone
– 3tsp MCT oil
– Regular exercise
– Fasting

Always check with your doctor before applying any of this information. This is just to educate you on these interesting links between hormones and Alzheimer’s disease.

Today we’re going to talk about the benefits of getting a nap. As we get older, many of us lose our ability to sleep. On average, a person sleeps 2 hours less when they’re older versus when they’re younger. Ideally, a person should get about 7.5-8 hours of sleep. Can you make your sleep up with naps? Yes. 

Many additional things can affect a person’s quality of sleep besides age, such as stress and EMFs. Computers or even things like power cables and wifi have high levels of both electric field type energy and electromagnetic energy. EMFs could make you very tired, and they could even affect the heart and brain. 

11 potential benefits of getting a nap:

1. You could have more energy  
2. You could be more alert 
3. You could have more focus
4. You could be able to learn better
5. Your mood could be better 
6. Your memory could be better
7. You could have more creativity
8. You could have less of an appetite 
9. You could have much better exercise performance and endurance 
10. You could have fewer accidents 
11. You could be more productive

2:31 Things that cause low vitamin B1

In this video, we’re going to talk about the best vitamin B1 foods.

In many other videos, I’ve talked about the importance of vitamin B1. If you become deficient in B1, here are some of the symptoms you can experience:
• Anxiety
• Restlessness
• Panic attack
• Lack of stamina
• Excessive sweating

The best source of vitamin B1 is nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast is the best natural source of B vitamins. Avoid taking synthetic vitamin B supplements.

The following are other sources of vitamin B1.

1. Pork 6oz – 1.1mg (96% of RDA)
2. Salmon 6oz – .6mg (48% of RDA)
3. Flax 1oz – .5mg (39% of RDA)
4. Sunflower feeds 1oz – .4mg (35% of RDA)
5. Green peas 1 cup – .4mg (35% of RDA)
6. Macadamia nuts 1oz – .3mg (30% of RDA)
7. Acorn squash 1 cup – .3mg (30% of RDA)

An adult needs between 1.0-1.2mg of vitamin B1 daily.

On top of getting more vitamin B1 in your diet, you also need to avoid things that deplete B1. This includes:
• Refined sugar
• Refined carbs
• Chronic stress
• Diuretics
• High blood sugar/glucose

If someone has told you that the gallbladder is not essential, you need to check this out. 

Timestamps
0:00 Is the gallbladder essential? 
0:33 What does the gallbladder do? 
1:25 What happens when you have the gallbladder removed 
1:50 Important things to know about the gallbladder 

Many people don’t believe the gallbladder is essential. They say it’s an extra organ and it doesn’t do much. However, I strongly disagree with that. 

The gallbladder stores bile. If there is low bile to the amount of cholesterol in the liver or the gallbladder, you can develop gallstones or liver stones. Bile can help keep the cholesterol from forming stones and clogging things up. If bile gets clogged up in the liver, it can create inflammation, fibrosis, and eventually cirrhosis. Bile is a detergent. It makes the fat more absorbable into the small intestines. Bile helps break down fats and extract certain important nutrients from the fat. 

When a person has their gallbladder removed, bile is still made, and it still trickles through to the small intestines, but it’s going to be less concentrated and less regulated. 

Important things to know about the gallbladder:
1. Fat-soluble vitamins are completely dependent on bile for absorption. 
2. Without enough bile, you could have more constipation. 
3. Bile helps extract omega-3 fatty acids from the food you eat.
4. Vitamin D and vitamin A receptors are activated by bile. 
5. Bile keeps bacteria out of the small intestines. 
6. Bile is necessary for the conversion of T4 to T3. 
7. Bile regulates excess cholesterol. 
8. Ulcers and gastritis can both be side effects of a bile deficiency.
