In this video, we’re going to talk about your microbiome and how it protects against cancer.

Your microbiome has a huge influence over your immune system. About 70% of your immune system is located in the gut. Friendly bacteria have a direct anti-cancer effect. Taking antibiotics, which harm your friendly gut bacteria, increases your cancer risk by 18%.

The friendly bacteria that make up your microbiome consume fiber. Consuming vegetables will increase your fiber intake and, in turn, help support and diversify your microbiome.

Microbes produce a type of fat called butyrate. Butyrate has the capacity to reduce your risk of cancer.

20% of all cancers are triggered by pathogens, like H. pylori, EBV, and HPV. A primary task of our microbiome is to limit the pathogens in your body. People who these viral or bacterial infections often have a problem with their microbiome.

Your microbes, and the butyrate they produce, have anti-inflammatory effects. Cancer tends to migrate to areas of inflammation—this is why cancer often appears in areas where there has been an injury in the past.

Butyrate also plays an important role in decreasing insulin resistance. Guess what cancer feeds off of? Sugar! If your blood sugar levels are off due to insulin resistance, you will have an increased risk of cancer.

Butyrate supports the gut barrier, which helps prevent leaky gut and inflammation.

If you frequently experience constipation, this is a sign that your microbiome is lacking. Probiotics can help replenish friendly gut microbes to support your microbiome and help you prevent constipation.

Prebiotics are important for gut health. The best way to get fiber on a keto diet is to consume a wide range of low-carb vegetables—especially cabbage and kimchi.

Fasting increases the survival of your microbiome and helps diversify your microbiome.

Could something as simple as vitamin E help reverse a fatty liver? Here’s what you need to know.

2:25 What does vitamin E do for the liver?
2:47 Diet and the liver

Today we’re going to talk about why you might want to take vitamin E for a fatty liver.

There is a condition called NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis), which is basically a fatty liver that has some inflammation. There have been many studies on using vitamin E for NASH.

Vitamin E has demonstrated significant improvement in:
1. Steatosis (the fatty liver portion)
2. Inflammation
3. Ballooning of the liver cells (degeneration)

Essentially, vitamin E may have the power to reduce the fat, inflammation, and the death of the liver cells in adult patients with NASH that don’t have diabetes or cirrhosis.

In one study, they used a natural version of only one part of the vitamin E complex. However, it may be beneficial to have the whole complex. They also used 800 IUs of this one part. Other studies have used up to 1000 IUs, while others only used 400 IUs. Between 800 and 1000 IUs may be the best idea.

Vitamin E may help stop the transition of going from having a fatty liver to an inflamed liver. It’s a very powerful antioxidant that may help calm free radicle damage, prevent inflammation, and prevent fibrosis.

Taking vitamin E alone may not change anything very much. But, changing the diet as well may make a more significant difference. The healthy keto diet with intermittent fasting may be the best way to go. Adding vitamin C in a food complex with choline may also be beneficial.

Today we’re going to talk about the amazing benefits of milk thistle for the liver. Milk thistle is a very powerful herb that could potentially help your liver cells. 

There is a special group of phytonutrients collectively called silymarin that is responsible for these amazing effects on the liver. 

If you’re going to use milk thistle, it may be more beneficial to use the whole herb instead of just this extracted compound. There are a lot of other things in milk thistle that may be beneficial. 

8 benefits of milk thistle for the liver:
1. Strengthens hepatocyte (a liver cell) 
2. Serious antioxidant
3. Anti-fibrotic 
4. Anti-Inflammatory 
5. Reduces damage to liver cells 
6. Regenerates liver cells 
7. Protects loss of glutathione 
8. Supports thyroid conversion (T4-T3)

When should you lower your fat intake on keto? Here’s everything you need to know.

0:00 When to lower dietary fat on keto

2:14 Bile deficiency and gallbladder issues
3:35 Plateaued weight and cutting back on fat
4:13 How to bulletproof your immune system course

In this video, I’m going to answer a question I get over and over—when do you lower dietary fat on keto? There are a few things you need to know about this topic.

A high-fat diet is only bad if you are also consuming a lot of carbs. Keep in mind that the keto diet is not primarily a high-fat diet—it’s a low-carb diet. A diet that is high in fat and high in carbs is not a keto diet.

I’ve also found that low-carb and low-fat diets are hard on the liver (especially with lean protein), which causes a lot of digestive issues.

What if you have familial hypercholesterolemia? If you go on keto and cut down on carbs, some people are able to lower their cholesterol—others do need to cut down on their fat consumption. This is something you want to talk to your doctor about.

You may want to lower your fat temporarily if you have gallbladder issues or a bile deficiency. Bile is vital to fat digestion. Taking purified bile salts, choline, or lipase can help with fat digestion.

Another reason why you may want to lower your fat is if you’ve been on keto and your weight has plateaued. In this case, you can lower your fat to 75 grams per day. This will allow your body to tap into your own fat reserves.

Here’s what you need to know about autonomic neuropathy—especially if you have a blood sugar issue. 

Timestamps:
0:00 What is autonomic neuropathy? 
1:07 Causes of autonomic neuropathy
1:57 Autonomic neuropathy symptoms 
3:45 What to do about autonomic neuropathy

Today we’re going to talk about a very common yet under-diagnosed condition called autonomic neuropathy. Neuropathy means nerve damage. With autonomic, we’re dealing with a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system, which controls things automatically. It works on its own. 

The autonomic nervous system is a combination of:
• The fight or flight (stress response)
• The parasympathetic nervous system (rest or digest)
• The enteric system (another system that can control your digestive system) 

The #1 cause of autonomic neuropathy is diabetes. But, you don’t end up with diabetes overnight. It’s a gradual condition that starts with high insulin, which leads to insulin resistance, then prediabetes, and finally, diabetes. Autonomic neuropathy is also a condition that gradually occurs. You could have one or more symptoms, which are really the beginning of this condition. 

Just because you haven’t been diagnosed with diabetes doesn’t mean that your autonomic neuropathy isn’t related to a blood sugar issue. But, other causes of autonomic neuropathy could be an autoimmune condition to part of the nervous system, or a virus. 

Symptoms of autonomic neuropathy:
1. Urinary retention 
2. Hypertension
3. Abdominal pain 
4. Malabsorption 
5. Gastroparesis 
6. Constipation
7. Sleep apnea 
8. Abnormal sweating 
9. Orthostatic hypotension (POTS) 
10. Arrhythmias 

As far as having autonomic neuropathy of the genitals, you could experience symptoms ranging from pain to lack of function of those organs. 

What you could do about autonomic neuropathy:
1. Benfotiamine 
2. Alpha-lipoic acid 
+ Keto and intermittent fasting

Today we’re going to talk about the nine things your skin can tell you about your liver.

1. Yellow skin 
This could be jaundice, which is a liver condition. If your skin is slightly orange, it could be jaundice, or it could be that you’re drinking too much carrot juice. 

2. Red palms 
This could be something called palmar erythema, which could point to a problem with your liver. 

3. Spider veins
Spider veins or spider angiomas in the upper part of the body are dilated blood vessels. This could happen because the liver is not able to break down estrogen. Really, this is an estrogen dominance problem.  

4. White growths on the eyelids 
This could be cholesterol build-up. Having a liver problem could create this build-up. 

5. Purple flat bumps 
This could be something called lichen planus, which could be an indication of a liver problem. 

6. Purple/red spots 
This could be on the lower part of the legs or arms and is called ecchymosis. 

7. White scaly plaquing scalp 
This is also known as dandruff. This could be a symptom of a liver problem and could be caused by a deficiency in B2 and B6. 

8. Chicken skin 
This looks like little red bumps on your hair follicles and is called hyperkeratosis. This could be a symptom of a liver problem, which is causing a deficiency in vitamin A and vitamin E. 

9. Darker pigment on the knuckles 
This could be happening because of a liver problem that’s causing a B12 deficiency.

Intermittent fasting isn’t the only way to enhance autophagy. Here’s how coffee and herbs can help.

0:00 What is autophagy?
0:47 Autophagy benefits
1:02 How to induce autophagy
4:13 Final thoughts

In this video, I’m going to talk about how you can increase your autophagy with coffee and herbs. Autophagy means “self-eat.” This is the state in which your body begins to recycle damaged proteins and pathogens.

When proteins become damaged, they can wreak havoc on your body. To prevent this harm, your body breaks down damaged proteins with enzymes and creates new healthy proteins.

Autophagy is vital for:
• Reducing inflammation
• Increasing your lifespan and health
• Preventing cancer
• Slowing the aging process

There are several ways you can promote autophagy naturally:

1. Fasting – Fasting is a fantastic way to induce autophagy. It’s my opinion that fasting for 16-18 hours is ideal for autophagy—although few studies show an exact length of time for peak autophagy.

2. Exercise – Exercise is another excellent way to promote autophagy.

3. Coffee – Drinking coffee may help induce autophagy to some degree. I don’t recommend having much more than one cup of coffee each day. Way too much caffeine will affect your sleep, which can actually reduce autophagy.

4. Sulforaphane – This compound is a phytochemical that has health-protecting effects, including the ability to induce autophagy. You can get sulforaphane from fresh cruciferous vegetables or cruciferous supplements. You should be consuming plenty of vegetables (7-10 cups) every day.

5. Green tea (EGCG) – EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, is a powerful autophagy-inducing compound found in green tea. Additionally, EGCG is great for reducing inflammation and fighting off cancer cells.

6. Curcumin – Curcumin is a potent autophagy-promoting compound found in turmeric. Turmeric is often found in Indian foods like curry.

7. Resveratrol – This compound is primarily found in the skin of black grapes and red wine. Resveratrol has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and autophagy-promoting properties.

3:48 VDR agonist 

Today, we’re going to talk about the interesting connection between vitamin D, bile, and your gallbladder. 

Vitamin D is probably one of the most important vitamins, yet it’s one of the most common vitamin deficiencies. 

Vitamin D is important for:
• Bone growth 
• Sleep 
• Blood sugars
• Immunity 
• Inflammation
• Cardiovascular health 
• The brain 

It’s almost impossible to get enough vitamin D from your diet. You can get vitamin D from the sun. But, you may not get enough vitamin D from the sun if you’re older, you have certain health conditions, your skin is darker, or during the winter months. There can also be issues with absorption that can cause you to not get enough vitamin D. 

Absorption of vitamin D:

• Certain nutrients can help support the absorption of vitamin D (magnesium, B6, and K2).

• If you have malabsorption, you could have a difficult time absorbing vitamin D. Issues like damage to the inside of the colon, inflammatory conditions, an issue with the gallbladder, or a lack of bile could cause malabsorption. 

• Certain viruses have a strategy of downgrading the vitamin D receptor. This can make it difficult to absorb vitamin D. 

• Cortisol, which comes from stress or certain medications, can block the vitamin D receptor. 

• Polymorphism is a mutation in the gene that is a part of the vitamin D receptor. 
 

A VDR agonist is something that connects to make everything work. A few examples of a VDR agonist would be:
• Vitamin D (in higher amounts)
• Benicar 
• Bile salts

1:05 The benefits of vitamin K2
2:36 Foods high in vitamin K2
3:11 Final thoughts

In this video, I’m going to talk to you about vitamin K2 and some of the functions that go way beyond bone health.

When we talk about vitamin K2, most people associate it with strengthening your bones and removing soft tissue calcium from the joints and arteries. Vitamin K2 does so much more.

The health of your bones is important in the production of immune cells—white blood cells originate in the bone marrow. Your bones also act as endocrine glands. They create a hormone called osteocalcin. Vitamin K2 triggers osteocalcin, which can affect blood sugars.

Here are some of the many benefits of vitamin K2:
1. Improves insulin resistance
2. Increases insulin sensitivity
3. Suppresses inflammation
4. Decreases fat accumulation
5. Increases energy capacity
6. Increases testosterone

The best food sources of vitamin K2 are:
• Natto
• Butter
• Egg yolk
• Goose liver
• Pepperoni
• Salami
• Sausage
• Sauerkraut
• Grass-fed cheese (muenster, gouda, brie, edam, and hard cheeses)

The reason why these are mostly animal products is that animals consume grass, which contains vitamin K1, and they convert it into vitamin K2. The vitamin K2 found in natto and sauerkraut are formed by bacteria in the fermentation process.

What is Vitamin K2:

Could you be causing a heart problem by trying to prevent a heart attack? Check this out.

Today we’re going to talk about the problems with trying to prevent a heart attack. 

Let’s say you have hypertension,f and you’re on a diuretic. Well, the side effect of diuretics could potentially increase your insulin and create more of a problem within your arteries. 

What if you’re on statins for high cholesterol? Statins could potentially increase the risk of calcification in the arteries. It could also shut down testosterone, and it could decrease CoQ10.

Anti-clotting medications like warfarin could increase the risk of calcification, not just in the arteries, but systemically. 

Out of all of these issues, I believe the most important thing to focus on is making sure you do not build up calcium plaque in the arteries. The amount of calcium in the arteries is the biggest risk factor for mortality from a heart attack. 

A CAC test can help give you a lot of information about what’s going on inside of your arteries. The test score should be zero, but it could go over 1000. If you find out you have a high score and there is a high amount of calcium plaquing, there is something natural you could try. You may want to try taking vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is a very important vitamin that could potentially remove the calcium from your arteries. You could take the MK7 version between 200 and 300 micrograms every day. 

If you’re on warfarin, you may want to check with your doctor and see if there is another medication you could take that would do the same thing but also allows you to take vitamin K2. You could also see if you could take vitamin K2 and, at the same time, take more warfarin. 

If you’re on a diuretic, you may want to research and speak with your doctor about taking 40,000 IUs of vitamin D3 while also increasing potassium. To get the potassium you need, you could try consuming 7-10 cups of vegetables per day. 

If you have high cholesterol, you may want to get on a healthy keto diet as well as start doing intermittent fasting.

Experiencing leg cramps at night? If potassium and magnesium don’t do the trick, try using this powerful bark!

In this video, I want to talk about a good remedy for leg cramps—especially at night.

The best remedy for leg cramps at night is quinine bark. Now, I’m not talking about the synthetic version that you need a prescription for. I’m talking about the natural bark, which contains a lot less of the active ingredient, quinine.

People have been using quinine bark as a remedy for numerous health issues for hundreds and hundreds of years. This natural bark was forgotten about for a while when the synthetic version came out. However, quinine bark has made a huge comeback recently.

Quinine bark has been used for:
• Malaria
• Parasites
• Viruses
• Fever reduction
• Pain reduction
• Heartbeat regulation
• Digestion

Quinine bark works by blocking sodium channels.

One of the biggest benefits of quinine is its ability to prevent leg cramps at night. Now, personally, I would only try this remedy after I’ve tried increasing my potassium and magnesium—which are electrolytes.

You can find quinine bark at your local health foods store or online.

Fasting and Chronic Inflammation:

Timestamps:

0:30 Fasting benefits for pain 
3:06 Frequent eating and chronic pain 

In this video, we’re going to talk about how to help get rid of chronic pain by fasting. The influence of fasting on chronic pain is huge. Doing a prolonged fast, or doing intermittent fasting on a regular basis may help you achieve these benefits. 

How could fasting potentially help with chronic pain?

1. You’re going to generate ketones 
Ketones are an alternative fuel source that has antioxidant properties. Ketones also have anti-pain properties, and they protect neurons. 

2. It releases and helps recycle serotonin
Serotonin is involved in a person’s mood. It can help reduce neuropathic pain and reduce fibromyalgia. Low amounts of serotonin can cause pain.

3. It stimulates neurogenesis 
Neurogenesis is the regrowing of nerve cells. If you have nerve damage that’s causing pain, and you have more ability to grow that nerve, then your pain could go away faster. 

4. It releases endorphins 
This will not only help increase your mood, but it could also help decrease your pain. 

5. Neurotransmitter receptors 

6. It increases BDNF 
This is almost like miracle grow for the brain. It could help the brain grow back much better if there’s damage. 

**Frequent eating or overeating could create a lot of oxidation in the vascular system that feeds the nerves.
