3:05 The best way to get metabolic flexibility

I’ve done videos in the past on the topic of not seeing results after going off keto and then going back on keto. We’re going to talk about how metabolic flexibility vs. metabolic inflexibility relates to this topic. I’m also going to talk about the best to get metabolic flexibility.

Metabolic flexibility is your body’s capacity to adapt to different fuels. Very few people have metabolic flexibility. This makes switching from a high carb diet to a low carb diet challenging—and it takes time to adapt to keto. As you switch back and forth between high carb and low carb diets, your metabolism slows down.

What causes metabolic inflexibility?
• History of insulin elevation over time
• Yo-yo dieting
• Stress
• Pregnancy
• Poor sleep
• Over-training
• Inflammation

While a small number of people will be able to easily go back and forth between diets. However, for people who naturally struggle with metabolic inflexibility, like me, you will need to try a different approach. You will have to consistently keep insulin levels down, which means no cheat meals or snacks.

The best ways to get a consistent reduction of insulin are:
• Keto
• Intermittent fasting
• Exercise
• Nutrients

Gaining metabolic flexibility can take a lot of time. It can take years of healthy lifestyle choices to speed up your metabolism.

2:00 What causes a stuffy nose while drinking wine

In this video, I want to talk about sulfites. Which has more sulfites, red or white wine? I’m not recommending wine on a keto diet, but some will drink wine occasionally. I’ve had questions about various symptoms that can occur when drinking wine.

Sulfites are naturally created when you ferment grapes, and they also preservatives that are added to wine to prevent it from turning into vinegar.

Certain people have a sensitivity to sulfites. This can cause:
• Hives
• Itchiness
• Flushed skin
• Dizziness

From least to most, here’s how much sulfites each wine has:
Red wine: 160 ppm
White wine: 210 ppm
Sweet wine: 400 ppm

As you can see, white wine has more sulfites than red wine, and sweet wine has more sulfites than dry wines.

If you experience headaches when drinking red wine, it’s often due to higher levels of tannins. Tannins are also in:
• Tea leaves
• Nuts with skin
• Dark chocolate
• Strawberries
• Coffee
• Pomegranates

Sulfites are also in dried fruit. In fact, dried fruit has 10x the amount of sulfites as red wine.

If you drink wine and experience a stuffy nose, this is likely due to the histamines found in wine. Histamines naturally occur in fermented foods.

4:00 What should your child consume?

Today we’re going to talk about cereal and why it might be a good idea to get your kids and babies off cereal. I used to love cereal. It was a long time before I realized that’s it’s not the best thing to have.

The worst time to feed someone cereal is when they’re an infant. Infant rice cereal, which is very popular, has inorganic arsenic. In the soils where grains and plants are grown, there is always going to be some arsenic in very small amounts. This is called organic arsenic. Our bodies can actually deal with this very easily. But, inorganic arsenic is different and is not healthy. There is even an interesting study that talks about the exposure of infants to cereal, increasing the risk of autoimmune diseases. Infants also don’t have the enzymes to digest the cereal.

The other big problem is the amount of sugar in cereal. This could set the child up for blood sugar issues down the road. With some cereals, 1 cup is equal to the amount of sugar in a Twinkie.

The whole grains in cereal also contain phytate. Phytate is a chemical in grains that will block the absorption of zinc and other important minerals. Many kids also have an allergy to gluten, which is in many kinds of cereal.

GMO grains have also been exposed to glyphosate, which can create problems with the immune system. The fortification of cereal with synthetic vitamins can also cause problems.

What does The Games of Thrones and your immune system have in common?

In this video, I want to talk to you about how the immune system relates to The Game of Thrones.

There’s a constant game going on between your leukocytes—white blood cells—and pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungus, and mold. Pathogens are microbes that cause disease.

Your body has created a mutually beneficial relationship with a certain microbe we know as friendly bacteria. Friendly bacteria have become a very important part of our immune system and defending against unfriendly microbes.

You have guards that monitor your “wall” 27/4. These guards are called macrophages. Macrophages are large cells that eat viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.

The “commander” of the immune system is a type of cell called T-helper cells. T-helper cells are created in the thymus, and they train the white blood cells so they can defend the body against pathogens. Some powerful viruses, like the HIV virus, go after the commander T-helper cells.

There are two parts of the immune system: innate (the part you’re born with) and the acquired (the part that needs training). You have to expose your immune system to microbes to train and strengthen them.

Another type of immune cell is the T-regulatory cell. This kind of cell helps determine which microbes are good and which are bad. They also regulate the attack on pathogens.

B-cells are bone marrow cells that release antibodies. As these cells interact with pathogens, they develop a memory on how to better defeat pathogens in the future—finding their weaknesses.

Your own body can create antibodies against its own healthy tissues. These are called autoantibodies, which are a key part of autoimmune diseases. These autoantibodies are like friendly fire or traitors.

When cells come damaged, they are programmed to die to prevent turning into cancer cells. However, they can become immortal, like zombies, leading to disease. T-killer cells and natural kills cells help prevent this from happening.

Certain pathogens can disguise themselves as healthy cells, which allows them to infiltrate the body undetected. Other pathogens can create a protective barrier using calcium, also known a biofilm.

In this video, I want to talk to you about a question I got from a viewer: will colloidal silver turn me blue?

There’s a condition called argyria, which is when your skin turns blue when exposed to silver. This is a very rare condition, and very few cases are ever reported.

If you buy colloidal silver from a reputable company and you use the recommended amount, you’re not going to turn blue. I have never seen even one side effect of colloidal silver. Instead, you will likely benefit from it significantly. I keep colloidal silver on hand at home.

There are many applications and benefits of colloidal silver:
1. Antiviral
2. Antibacterial
3. Anti-fungal
4. Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
5. Wounds/burns
6. Nebulizer-lung
7. Eat infection
8. Anti-parasitic
9. Throat spray
10. Mouth herpes
11. Warts
12. Nose spray

Keep in mind that colloidal silver is not meant to replace any medical care. Speak to your doctor about using colloidal silver.

1:48 Spices and herbs for rheumatoid arthritis
2:58 Natural remedies for rheumatoid arthritis

In this video, we’re going to talk about the best spices and herbs for rheumatoid arthritis.

What’s the difference between a spice and an herb?
• Herbs are the leaves, flowers, and stems of plants.
• Spices are the seeds, fruit, root, and bark of plants.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. This means that your own immune system is attacking itself—mainly the joints. There is a lot of inflammation going on, and it’s really the immune system causing the damage. With rheumatoid arthritis, you have a big problem with the T cells. These cells are doing a lot of destruction to your joints. There is also a certain T cell that is supposed to turn off this immune reaction, and I think this could be where the bigger problem is—it’s not balancing the reaction.

By using certain spices and herbs, you can help decrease the inflammatory process that’s creating the damage. You could also help strengthen the immune system and improve the antimicrobial function.

The best spices and herbs for rheumatoid arthritis:
1. Ginger
2. Thyme
3. Turmeric
4. Cinnamon
5. Garlic
6. Black pepper
7. Oregano

Other remedies for rheumatoid arthritis:
• Increase potassium
• Decrease sugar consumption
• Fast
• Increase vitamin D
• Avoid vegetable oils

1:53 Possible conditions caused by low T cells.
2:25 How to strengthen T regulatory cells
4:11 Other problems with low T regulatory cell function

In this video, we’re going to talk about what I think is the most important white blood cell. There are numerous different white blood cells, but the T regulatory cell is the most important. This white blood cell is also called the T suppressor cell or Treg.

What’s unique about this type of white blood cell is that it does the opposite of other white blood cells—it suppresses the immune system. In turn, this gives the immune system balance and prevents the immune system from overreacting. It also helps reduce mucus.

T regulatory cells regulate self-tolerance. This means it helps prevent your immune system from attacking healthy cells. It allows your immune system to tell the difference between your own healthy cells and pathogenic cells. In turn, this helps with preventing autoimmune conditions, including:
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Type-1 diabetes
• Asthma
• MS
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Cytokine Storm

There are several nutrients that can affect T regulatory cell function. These include:
1. Vitamin A
2. Vitamin D
3. Zinc
4. DHA
5. Probiotics
6. Gluten (avoid this!)

Any nutrient deficiencies that suppress or atrophy the thymus gland will reduce T regulatory cell function. Keep in mind that the “T” in T regulatory cell stands for thymus. That’s because it’s produced in the thymus gland. Also, keep in mind that as you age, your thymus shrinks, causing more inflammation and poor immune function.

Children who have taken antibiotics early on tend to have problems with T regulatory cells, asthma, and certain other autoimmune diseases.

Today we’re going to talk about the importance of breastfeeding in relation to building the immune system. I believe breastfeeding creates the biggest effect on the future of your child’s health. By breastfeeding, you could ultimately help give your child an immune system before they’ve developed it.

What you need to know about the effect of breastfeeding on the immune system:

• There are many different strains of friendly bacteria in breastmilk that are passed over.

• The mother’s antibodies get passed over (antiviral antibodies and antibacterial antibodies).

• There is a lowered risk of respiratory infections, ear infections, allergies, ADD, autism, and asthma.

• T cells will be passed over. T cells can take the immune system to the next level.

• Butyrate can be passed over. This could potentially help prevent allergies and autoimmune diseases.

• The risk of type 1 diabetes could also be decreased.

• There is a more diverse microbiome.

• There is more interferon.

I think it would be best to breastfeed for a minimum of 6 months. Ideally, the child would have breastmilk for two years.

0:33 Vitamin D research
1:02 What are RDAs?
2:10 Health effects of low vitamin D
2:40 Best source of vitamin D

In this video, I want to talk about vitamin D and RDAs. You may have seen that the news is now bashing vitamin D. They are saying that you shouldn’t take too much because it’s toxic—it’s now considered dangerous when taking more than 600 IUs. Where is this coming from?

There was recently a study published by the national academy of medicine (NAM). After many years of compiling research, they happened to make a big error—by a factor of ten. Instead of recommending 600 IUs, they should have been recommending 8895 IUs.

RDAs are the recommended daily allowances of nutrients that are considered to be sufficient for over 97.5% of healthy people to prevent a deficiency. Keep in mind that RDAs do not consider unhealthy people.

Today, the data is still wrong and unchanged, which means many people are getting a false recommendation of 600 IUs/day.

This recommendation is crazy—we are facing a massive vitamin D deficiency pandemic right now. Most people are deficient in vitamin D, resulting in problems with…
• Immune system health
• Bone health
• Inflammation
• Increased risk of autoimmune diseases
and much more.

When you see information like this, make sure you search out who is providing this information. It’s important to check for errors, quality, and conflicts of interest.

The best source of vitamin D is not a particular food—it’s the sunlight. Sunlight stimulates the body’s natural ability to create vitamin D.

Many things can affect how much vitamin D you should consume:
• Excessive weight or obesity
• Age
• Skin color/melanin
• Infection
• Health conditions
