3:15 Potassium and strokes 

Today we’re going to talk about why potassium may help lower blood pressure. Only about 2% of Americans get enough potassium. We need about 4700mg of potassium a day to achieve the RDAs for potassium. 

Bananas only have about 300mg of potassium, and they also have a lot of sugar. Leafy greens and other vegetables may be much better sources of potassium. But people are not getting the amount of vegetables they need. We need 7-10 cups of leafy greens (like a salad) every day. If you’re eating more dense vegetables (like broccoli), or you have a dense chopped salad, you will need less. You can also get potassium from fish, certain meats, nuts, and avocados. 

Refined carbs and sugar can deplete potassium, as well as stress, and diuretics. 

90% of American’s are consuming too much of the opposing mineral, which is sodium. Too much sodium and not enough potassium can create a situation where the blood pressure is going to keep rising higher and higher. 

How potassium can help with hypertension:
1. It acts as a diuretic 
2. It dilates the smooth muscle in the arteries 
3. It keeps the vascular system from being stiff 

It may be beneficial to consume more foods high in potassium or take potassium as a supplement or in an electrolyte powder. 

Another cause of hypertension is a vitamin D3 deficiency. You may want to get more vitamin D3 along with potassium

Potassium may also help reduce the risk of stroke because it directly affects the consistency of the blood. It reduces clotting. 

Potassium may help reduce hypertension, as well as reduce the risk of stroke.

In this video, I want to talk to you about how fasting affects hormones.

I’m going to compare the effects of short (2-7 days) and long (8-20 days) fasts. This data is not based on intermittent fasting.

Adrenaline – This is a counter-regulatory hormone. During short fasts, adrenaline can increase. During long fasts, adrenaline lowers. When adrenaline levels are high, you may experience poor sleep. It can help to take calcium citrate or calcium lactate.

Cortisol – Cortisol is a stress hormone and a counter-regulatory hormone that will help prevent blood sugar levels from dropping too much. During short fasting, cortisol can raise, and during long fasts, cortisol tends to normalize.

Leptin – This is a hormone that helps you feel satisfied. When leptin is up, you feel satisfied and not hungry. However, way too much leptin causes leptin resistance—this is common in obese people. In turn, leptin stops working, so you never feel satisfied after eating. Both short and long fasts will lower leptin, which helps fix leptin resistance and restore your satisfaction after eating.

Insulin – One of the biggest benefits of fasting is lowering insulin levels. High insulin causes insulin resistance, which causes even higher levels of insulin that can develop into diabetes. Both short and long fasts help reduce insulin.

Serotonin – This hormone increases with both short and long fasts. Serotonin has a lot of cognitive benefits. It will help you sleep better at night and feel like you’re in a better state of well-being.

Growth hormone (GH) – This is the anti-aging hormone. It protects muscle, collagen, joints, and skin. Most people over 50 are deficient in GH. Both long and short-term fasting will increase growth hormone.

Glucagon – This is the opposing hormone to insulin. Levels of glucagon are raised with both short-term and long-term fasting. Glucagon helps you burn fat and prevent weight gain.

T3 – This thyroid hormone will actually lower with all forms of fasting. However, this will not harm your metabolism because it causes an increase in reverse T3.

Estrogen – Fasting will lower estrogen levels. This usually isn’t a big problem unless you have low estrogen. If you have low estrogen levels, you can take natural vitamin E to help balance your estrogen.

Preserving Anticancer Nutrients in Food

Don’t miss out on vital anticancer food benefits. Here’s how you can preserve the anticancer nutrients in your food! 
 
Timestamps:
0:00 Preserve the anticancer nutrients in your veggies
0:10 Vegetables and anticancer phytonutrients 
2:14 How to preserve anticancer nutrients
3:10 Benefits of isothiocyanate

In this video, we’re going to talk about how to preserve the anticancer nutrients in your food. 

Cruciferous vegetables have a lot of anticancer phytochemicals. You can find these nutrients in virtually all cruciferous vegetables, including bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, radish, and watercress. 

One of the most researched phytonutrients is called glucosinolate. For glucosinolate to become bioactive, it has to first convert into another phytonutrient called isothiocyanate—the active version. This conversion process requires an enzyme called myrosinase. 
 
Isothiocyanate has the ability to:
• Neutralize cancer
• Induce apoptosis
• Inhibit tumor growth
• Reduce inflammation
 
The problem is, if you cook any of these vegetables for ten minutes or more, you destroy myrosinase, the enzyme that turns the phytonutrient into the bioactive version. 

To ensure your vegetables maintain this enzyme, you have two options:
1. Eat the vegetables raw so that the enzyme cannot become damaged. 
2. Chop, cut, crush, or mash the vegetables, wait about 7 minutes, and then heat—this allows the enzyme to work before cooking. It’s still best not to overcook the vegetables.

9 Things to Help Heal an Inflamed Colon

If you have an inflamed colon, focus on these 9 key things.

Timestamps:

0:15 Remedies for an inflamed colon

Today we’re going to talk about a few things you can do to help improve an inflamed colon. Whether you have some type of irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, or celiac, these remedies may be beneficial.

9 things to focus on to help heal an inflamed colon:

1. Avoid gluten and grains
Gluten can tear up the inside part of the lining of the colon.

2. Avoid dairy
You could have an allergy to casein that creates inflammation.

3. Limit vegetables
You could have an altered microbiome, which means that your microbes are going to be easily overwhelmed by the fiber in vegetables. This can create a lot of bloating. You may want to do carnivore for a little while if you can digest protein. It’s also important to avoid vegetable oils.

4. Don’t consume alcohol and don’t smoke
Smoking depletes you of certain nutrients. You can get more inflammation.

5. Chlorophyll
If you’re not consuming vegetables to get chlorophyll, wheatgrass juice powder can be a good source of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can be very healing to the inside of the colon.

6. Intestines with stomach (as a supplement)
You may have some type of autoantibodies, and this product could be very beneficial and give you a lot of relief.

7. Take purified bile salts
If there is some type of inflammation in the colon, you could also have a problem recycling bile salts. This could cause you to become deficient in bile. Bile salts can help keep the junctions of the colon tight, regulate the balance of microbes in the gut, and help keep things flowing through the liver, gallbladder, and intestines.

8. Do fasting
Do intermittent fasting to some degree and even periodic prolonged fasting. Fasting is one of the best things to stimulate stem cells in the colon to help heal the lining of the intestines.

9. Take a good probiotic
This could help repopulate the microbes that you have in your colon.

Can bacteria from your teeth affect your heart? Find out.

2:03 Sources of vitamin K2 
2:45 What to do 
3:13 Natural antibiotics 

Today we’re going to talk about the connection between the health of your teeth and the health of your heart. If you have problems with your teeth, it can more than double the problems in your heart. 

It has been found that some of the bacteria in your teeth can actually end up in the heart. So, if you have some type of infection in the gums, certain microbes can get into the bloodstream and travel down to the heart. This could lead to clots. 

It has also been found that certain microbes in your teeth can end up in your joints. One type of microbe found in the teeth has even been found in 84% of stroke victims.

Vitamin K2 helps keep your bones and teeth strong. When you’re missing vitamin K2, the calcium from your bones and from your teeth travel into your arteries, soft tissues, and joints. People deficient in K2 could end up with more calcified arteries and dental problems.

Sources of vitamin K2:
• Butter 
• Liver 
• Egg yolks
• Certain cheeses
• Fermented soy products 

One of the most important things you can do is to not eat sugar. Sugar feeds the microbes. The microbes ferment the sugar and give off an acid that creates destruction in your teeth and the soft tissues around the teeth. 

In the presence of sugar, your body can’t use vitamin C. Vitamin C is necessary for the collagen that holds the tooth into the bone. 

Natural antibiotics:
• Oregano 
• Thyme 
• Garlic 
• Clove 

But, keep in mind that these herbal antibiotics may not be as beneficial unless you’re on a healthy diet (healthy keto).

1:14 How to speed up the process of converting to fat burning 
2:02 What to do if you have severe insulin resistance
2:47 The second reason why you may be tired while fasting 

In this video, we’re going to talk about why you may be fatigued while fasting. There are two reasons why you may be getting more tired instead of getting more energy while fasting. 

Fasting is supposed to take you from burning sugar to burning fat. When you’re fully adapted to ketosis, you’ll likely feel good and have tons of energy. But, if you don’t feel that way, it could be that you’re not at full fat-burning capacity. It typically takes about 3-7 days to fully get into fat-burning. 

How to get into fat-burning fast:  
• Keep your carbs low (below 40g per day, or below 20g if you have severe insulin resistance)
• Do fasting (1-2 meals a day)
• Take MCT oil or exogenous ketones (if you have severe insulin resistance) 
 
In order for the ketones to be burned in the energy factory (the mitochondria), it needs helper nutrients (cofactors). You need a combination of B vitamins, and you need minerals. If you’re deficient in these going into the keto program, you may experience keto fatigue. In this case, it may be helpful to take nutritional yeast and a good mineral blend.

Blindness can be a serious complication of diabetes. Here’s what you need to know.

0:00 Diabetic retinopathy 
0:18 Other complications of diabetic retinopathy
0:39 Blood sugar and the eyes
1:33 How long does it take for a diabetic to go blind 
3:20 Other complications of high blood sugar
3:48 What you could do 

Today we’re going to talk about how long it could take a diabetic to go blind. Diabetes-related retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness. 

Other complications of diabetic retinopathy:
• Numb feet 
• Chronic infections 
• Kidney damage 
• Heart damage 
• The loss of cognitive function 

High levels of blood sugar cause bleeding of the capillaries of the eye. Eventually, the retina dies because of a lack of nutrients and oxygen. 

After 10 years of having chronically high blood sugar, you could start to develop complications of diabetes. Things get worse as time goes on. Something else to keep in mind is that this high blood sugar situation was probably hidden for many years before you were diagnosed. It can take a very long time of having insulin resistance before you develop diabetes. 

Other complications of high blood sugar:
• Fatigue (especially after you eat lunch)
• Having to get up several times a night
• Constant thirst 
• Urinating constantly 
• Skin tags 
• Poor circulation 

What you could do:
• Bring your carbs way down (healthy keto)
• Do intermittent fasting 
• Take benfotiamine (4 capsules per day)

The Best Nutrient to Boost Learning

What nutrient can help with learning? Watch this video to find out.

0:28 What is the hippocampus?
1:04 DHA (omega-3 fatty acid) and your brain
1:25 Benefits of DHA
2:16 Effects of low DHA
3:20 The best sources of DHA

In this video, we’re going to talk about the best nutrient to boost learning. Did you know that a nutrient deficiency can inhibit your ability to learn effectively?

It all starts with the hippocampus. Your hippocampus is the structure in your brain that has to do with learning and spatial memory.

The omega-3 fatty acid called DHA makes up 20% of your brain’s grey matter (including your hippocampus). DHA also helps…
• Support your retina
• Lower oxidative stress/acts as an antioxidant
• Reduce inflammation
• Increase BDNF (this helps your brain grow)
• Boost the volume of the hippocampus

As you age, the structure of your hippocampus shrinks. In turn, this can affect your ability to learn and maintain spatial memory. If you’re DHA deficient, your hippocampus will get even smaller.

Taking omega-3 fatty acids can greatly benefit the hippocampus and improve your ability to learn.

DHA is involved with the synapses—these allow communication between neurons.

Low levels of DHA can even cause ADHD and dyslexia. The brain and retinas depend on DHA.

If an infant is not breastfed, the makeup of their retina may be abnormal due to low levels of DHA. In fact, DHA can even influence a child’s IQ.

The best sources of DHA are:
• Fatty fish
• Cod liver oil
• Algae

If you have flat feet, you may be better off losing the arch supports. Check this out.

0:35 My experience with flat feet 
1:55 How this technique for flat feet relief works 
2:20 A demonstration of the stretch for fallen arches 
2:57 A few more things you could do for flat feet 

Today we’re going to talk about arch supports and how they could actually make someone’s flat feet worse. My theory is that the cause of flat feet is either a manganese deficiency at birth or a vitamin D deficiency at birth. I believe this could set a child up to have either a weakened structure of the arch or a bone malformation. 

Over time, I have found that stretching and working on the front part of the leg and the top of the foot brings much more relief than working on the parts that are in pain, like the under part of the leg or the bottom of the foot. 

If the bottom of the foot is cramping, by stretching the muscles in the top part of the foot that stem up into the front part of the leg, you will send signals to the muscle that’s cramping. These signals will relax the muscle. 

What you could do for flat feet:
1. Stretch the feet (try my unique flat feet stretch)
2. Get a foot massage (have them work not only on the foot but the front part of the lower leg as well)
3. Allow your feet to strengthen on their own (take the arch supports out)

2:27 What you could do

In this video, I want to talk about why it may be beneficial to do fasting before, during, and after surgery. Fasting creates some interesting effects to help speed up the healing process. 

How fasting can help speed up the healing process:

1. There is a spike in ketones
Ketones are anti-inflammatory. Surgery, trauma, or injury all cause pain and inflammation. Fasting may help decrease the pain as well. 

2. It stimulates autophagy 
This is a condition where you recycle damaged proteins. 

3. It can increase human growth hormone
This has everything to do with growing muscle and proteins. 

Carbohydrates create more inflammation and blood sugar issues. Carbo-loading after an operation could just create more inflammation. 

If you’re going to have surgery, and you have the ability to prepare for the surgery, it may be best to start intermittent fasting 2 weeks before the surgery. This way, you’re fully adapted to fat-burning, and you can go into the surgery without any problems with the blood sugars. Right after the surgery, you may want to do a more prolonged fast (at least 48 hours). 

During your fast, it may be best to take certain nutrients, such as:
• Sea salt
• Electrolytes
• B-vitamins 
• Amino acids 
• Vitamin D

0:10 The healthiest weed you can eat
1:20 Benefits of dandelion 

In this video, I’m going to share with you what the healthiest weed in the world to eat is. A weed is a plant that’s growing in the wrong place at the wrong time. The healthiest weed you can eat is the dandelion. The Egyptians, Greeks, and the Romans consumed dandelions for various things. Dandelions have also been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 1000 years. 

You can consume not just the leaves of the dandelion, but the flower as well. Dandelions are very high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin K1, as well as many minerals like potassium, magnesium, and even iron. Dandelions also have a spectrum of phytonutrients, one being apigenin. Apigenin is a powerful phytonutrient that may have anti-cancer effects. 

Potential health benefits of dandelion:
1. Dandelion is powerful for the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder. 
2. Dandelion is one of the most potent herbs for type 2 diabetes. 
3. Dandelion may have anti-cancer effects. 
4. Dandelion is a powerful anti-inflammatory.

Why Do Fat Men Have Low Testosterone?

Overweight and have low testosterone? Here’s why.

1:17 How to fix low testosterone
2:12 Summary
2:30 Keto recipe channel promo

In this video, I’m going to talk about why men who are overweight often have low testosterone.

Your body can turn androgen—which includes testosterone—into estrogen with an enzyme called aromatase. If you have too much aromatase, you will develop an imbalance of too much estrogen and not enough androgen.

If you have this problem, you may experience these signs of low testosterone:
1. Breast tissue
2. Depression
3. Anxiety
4. Decreased libido

Aromatase is made in several different tissues throughout the body, including bone, brain, testicle, and fat tissue.

The more fat you have in your body—both subcutaneous and visceral—the more aromatase you will have. In turn, you can develop low testosterone. High levels of estrogen can also block testosterone.

To fix low testosterone, you have to lose weight. The best way to lose weight is to go on a healthy ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting plan.

While you’re losing weight, you can also use aromatase inhibitors as well as compounds that help build up testosterone. These include:
• DIM (a concentrated cruciferous compound)
• Stinging nettle root
• Zinc
