In this video, we’re going to talk about some really interesting benefits of sunlight that go beyond just vitamin D. 

When the sun hits your skin, certain chemical reactions occur that generate vitamin D from the cholesterol in your skin. You actually need cholesterol to make vitamin D. 

Health benefits of sunlight that go beyond vitamin D:

1. When the sun hits your skin and retinas, it can increase serotonin, which can potentially affect your mood. 

2. The sun can reduce melatonin. Melatonin helps you sleep. 

3. The heat and humidity from the sun may have the power to decrease viral loads.

4. UV has antibacterial effects. 

5. The sun can increase resistance to infection. 

6. The infrared wavelength of the sun can be great for wound healing and decreasing pain.

How to Deal With Someone Sneezing Around You

2:17 Different variables involved in someone sneezing on you

In this video, we’re going to talk about sneezing and COVID-19.

Sneezing is actually not one of the symptoms of COVID-19. Most likely, it’s the pollen that’s causing them to sneeze. 

For the virus to invade the body, it has to go in through the eyes, mouth, nose, or from touching the face. 

The great majority of people with COVID-19 had no symptoms or very mild coronavirus symptoms. Two important factors that determine the intensity of the symptoms is the viral load (how concentrated the virus particles are), and the health of the immune system. 

COVID-19 has also been found to be potentially much more contagious than previously thought. But, this also means that COVID-19 could be less deadly than previously thought. 

Different variables involved in someone sneezing on you:

1. Number or concentration of viruses (breathing or talking has much less than coughing or sneezing) 
2. Velocity
3. Droplet size
4. Distance (3-6 feet) 
5. Susceptibility (support the immune system with vitamin D3, zinc, and vitamin C) 
6. Environment

The “Intermittent” Part of Fasting and Exercise Is Vital

NEW KETO RECIPES CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnAGH-jp4YXl30rir1BPrxA/

Why are intermittent fasting and intermittent exercise so important? Find out. 
 
Timestamps
0:15 Circadian rhythms
0:35 Sustained = stress 
1:36 Fasting 
2:47 Exercise 
5:06 Recovery 

Today we’re going to talk about “intermittent” and what that really means. We’re going to cover intermittent fasting, the biggest intermittent fasting mistake, and intermittent exercise. 

A healthy body has really good circadian rhythms. These are natural waves of rhythm like:

• Sleep cycles
• Eating cycles 
• Rhythms of digestion
• Rhythms of hormones

Anything we do of a sustained nature adds more stress to the body. For example, one of the most important things intermittent fasting does is correcting digestion. The body was not designed to consume on a sustained basis (snacking in between meals). Sustained eating can create sustained stimulation of insulin, which can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes. It’s very important to fast, and not eat anything when you’re fasting. But, you can drink water and take supplements during fasting. 

High-intensity interval training is intermittent exercise. This can help stimulate growth hormone. Doing this high-intensity exercise intermittently is important because it won’t stimulate the opposing hormone: cortisol. It keeps the stress down while still stimulating growth hormone. The growth hormone is stimulated by the high intensity. But, cortisol is stimulated by duration, which you’re keeping short. 

Recovery is also very important. During the downtime, when you’re relaxing, you need to stay off your phone and try to keep your mind from overthinking.

The Cheapest COVID-19 Therapy in the World

2:06 Looking back at the Somalian group
2:33 Distance from the sun and COVID-19
3:08 Looking at all of the factors

Today we’re going to talk about the cheapest potential COVID-19 therapy in the world. What we’re talking about is the sun, and what it can do to give you vitamin D. Of course, this is actually free, all you have to do is go out and get 20 minutes of sun. 

Somalian immigrants make up a very small community in Stockholm, Sweden. They make up less than 1% of the entire population of Stockholm. Yet, in Stockholm, 40% of all of the COVID-19 deaths were from this small group. 

What puts people at risk for COVID-19?: 
• Pre-existing health problems (obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, COPD, asthma)

This group didn’t have many of these problems, and they weren’t all over the age of 60. But, what they do have is darker skin. The melanin that changes the color of the skin—protects against UV. But, it also prevents the absorption of vitamin D. In Chicago, 72% of deaths due to the coronavirus were African American. 

The Somalian group also has a dress code that requires them to be almost fully covered, which can prevent vitamin D absorption. 

It has also been found that the great majority of COVID-19 deaths were in the Northern hemisphere. This could be related to the distance between where you are and the sun, and how much vitamin D you’re going to get.

Looking at more factors:

Seasonality—
Certain viruses are seasonal. This could have something to do with less vitamin D, temperature, and humidity. 

Vitamin D is a very powerful immune modulator—
It directly regulates a lot of different parts of the immune system. 

An Indonesian study—
In this study, the mortality rate was much higher in the group that was deficient in vitamin D than the group that had normal levels of vitamin D. 

Vitamin D is very anti-inflammatory—
It could help reduce the cytokine storm, which can be deadly. 

Vitamin D is anti-thrombotic—
It helps prevent blood clots. 

Pre-existing conditions—
People with the pre-existing conditions that could cause complications with COVID-19 typically also seem to have a vitamin D deficiency. 

Age—
The older you are, the less vitamin D you have.

3:26 Hydroxychloroquine and the later stages of COVID-19

Today we’re going to talk about the benefits of hydroxychloroquine that actually go beyond just killing COVID-19. 

Hydroxychloroquine has been used for over 70 years as a malaria drug. It’s been repurposed for COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine is also a very inexpensive drug. 

There are some reports that hydroxychloroquine is ineffective and could even be dangerous. But when you look deeper into the study their claims are based on—it’s bogus.

Hydroxychloroquine benefits that go beyond killing the coronavirus:

1. It’s a zinc ionophore 
2. It’s antithrombotic 
3. It’s an alkalizer 
4. It suppresses an overactive immune system 
5. It’s a powerful anti-inflammatory 
6. It helps reduce autoantibodies 

But, there may be a point of no return. It’s unclear whether hydroxychloroquine could have as many benefits if the person is in the later stages of the virus when there is already too much damage.

Oxidative Stress, Immune System and Viral Infection

Here’s what you need to know about oxidative stress, the immune system, viral infection—and how it all relates to COVID-19. 
 
Timestamps
0:12 What is oxidative stress? 
0:45 Viral infection and oxidation
1:55 Risk factors related to COVID-19
3:42 The mitochondria and COVID-19
5:27 How can we switch things back?

Today we’re going to talk about oxidative stress and viruses. 

Oxidative stress is basically a situation where you have an imbalance of too much oxidation and not enough antioxidants. 

Your body makes both oxidants and antioxidants. 

1. Endogenous oxidation is the oxidation that your own body creates—it comes from within.
2. Exogenous oxidation is coming from outside of the body. A few examples would be: pollution, smoking, and consuming refined carbs and sugar. 

With the COVID-19 virus, on a blood test, you’ll likely see high amounts of neutrophils and low lymphocytes. 

Neutrophils release both hydrogen peroxide and bleach as weapons against the virus, but this creates a lot of oxidation. So, the immune system is creating a lot of oxidation in response to COVID-19 or some other virus. The virus is also creating more immune reactions, which contributes to even more oxidation. 

There are also risk factors related to COVID-19 that can create oxidation, such as:

• Diabetes 
• Obesity 
• High blood pressure

With these pre-existing conditions, the endogenous antioxidants are way low. So, there is an imbalance created from the virus itself, the immune reaction, and the pre-existing condition. 

To have a long healthy life and minimize the complications of this condition and the side effects of the viral infection, you need to bring your antioxidants up and your oxidation down. 

Viruses like COVID-19 also attack the mitochondria. This is called apoptosis—your cells are dying. But, some cells will survive and adapt. Because the normal machinery to burn fuel is damaged, the cells with adapt to another way of using fuel called fermentation. The body doesn’t usually use this system, but it will use it as a survival mechanism if it needs to. While using this backup system, these cells metabolize glucose. This is one way a virus can actually trigger cancer. Cancer cells create a lot of inflammation, free-radical damage, and oxidation. 

How do we switch things back?

• Healthy keto 
• Consume foods high in antioxidants 

Great antioxidants:
 
• Vitamins A, C, D, E
• Alpha-lipoic acid 
• Copper 
• Zinc 
• Selenium 
• Manganese
• Vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 

Things that will help increase antioxidants:

• Supporting your microbes 
• NAC
• Quercetin 
• Fasting 
• Exercise 
• Sleep

4:01 Other vitamin A risk factors
4:17 Best sources of vitamin A

In this video, I want to talk to you about vitamin A and your immune system. Now, I’ve done plenty of other videos on the role of zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin C in the immune system, but I haven’t touched on vitamin A yet.

Vitamin A is an essential part of the immune system. A vitamin A deficiency will leave your body susceptible to infections—especially in the respiratory system, including your lungs, sinuses, and throat.

You need vitamin A for your mucous membranes. In particular, vitamin A is required for the creation of mucin. Mucin is an essential part of the mucus membrane.

Vitamin A is also involved in the epithelial layer and lymphatic system layer. Each of these acts as a barrier for microbes.

When pathogens enter the body, your body triggers macrophages. These are large phagocytic cells that consume pathogens and clean up other harmful debris. Macrophages are your body’s first line of defense against infection.

Your thymus gland, which is right above the heart, helps train your immune cells. The thymus can actually activate and synthesize vitamin A.

Vitamin A is also required for dendritic cells and neutrophil traps.

When you’re low in vitamin A, your risk increases for:
• Ulcerative colitis
• MS
• Psoriasis
• Lupus

How can you get more vitamin A? The best source of vitamin A are:
• Beef
• Liver
• Cod liver oil
• Mackerel
• Salmon
• Goat cheese
• Butter
• Cream cheese
• Eggs
• Vegetables (pre-vitamin A in carotenoid form)

Today we’re going to talk about mucus and how amazing mucus really is. Your mucus is actually a very important part of your body. 

The body makes between 1 and 1.5 liters of mucus per day. The mucus sits on mucus membranes covering the inside of your body. The mucus membrane is a part of the immune system. Friendly bacteria live in the mucus, and immune cells live in the mucus. 

The mucus membrane and the mucus on top of it line the:

• Sinuses 
• Mouth 
• Throat 
• Lungs 
• Stomach 
• Intestines 
• Kidneys 
• Urogenital 

What does mucus do?

• It acts as a lubricant
• It’s antimicrobial 
• It has good bacteria 
• It acts like a flytrap for harmful microbes
• It has antibodies 
• It acts as a barrier to keep pathogens out 

How to thin mucus build-up:

1. NAC
2. Vitamin A

New COVID-19 Study with Vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency is a pandemic in itself. Find out how a vitamin D deficiency could make you more vulnerable to COVID-19.

0:13 Taking a look at the study
0:47 Mortality rates 
1:55 What vitamin D does

In this video, we’re going to talk about a very fascinating study relating to COVID-19. 

Vitamin D is not only associated with decreased severity from COVID-2 but also decreased mortality from COVID-2.

A study that involved 780 confirmed cases of SARS-COVID-2 showed decreased severity in blood clots, hypoxia, and respiratory stress. 

There were three groups involved in the study:

Group 1: Had enough vitamin D
Group 2: Had insufficient vitamin D
Group 3: Had a deficiency in vitamin D

The group that had a deficiency in vitamin D had a much higher mortality rate than the group that had enough vitamin D. 

Vitamin D can potentially put out the cytokine storm. You could be at a much higher risk of infection if you are deficient in vitamin D.

It’s Not The Virus that Kills You, It’s Your Immune System

The virus isn’t the killer—it’s the immune system. Here’s what you need to know. 
 
Timestamps
0:06 How the virus works  
1:03 What really kills you
2:48 Pre-existing conditions
3:05 T helper cells
3:25 Other virus strategies 
3:55 The virus isn’t the killer

Today we’re going to talk about viruses and the immune system. It’s not the virus that kills you. It’s actually your own immune system. 

The virus doesn’t have a metabolism. It’s not even alive. Here’s what happens. You have this inactive shell with some DNA that has some very specific instructions to replicate. There are certain things on the surface of the virus that connect to certain tissues and certain receptors in the cell. 

For example, COVID-19 connects to the ACE2 receptor. Once it connects, it’s able to get into the cell. Once inside of the cell, the immune system doesn’t see it at first. The goal of the virus is to get into the cell and replicate as fast as possible. This creates a lot of damage and an immune reaction, but it’s not what kills you. 

Let’s say you have COVID-19, you’re on a respirator, and you have cytokine storm. This is creating massive destruction, which can lead to death. This destructive inflammatory condition is also happening on the inside of your arteries, and it can even create blood clots. The innate part of the immune system is overreacting because part of the adaptive immune system is not working.

The T suppressor cells, which are a part of the adaptive immune system, suppress or regulate the overreaction. But, there is a severe imbalance going on where you lose the adaptive immune system, including the T suppressor cells, and there is too much of the innate immune system causing the overreaction. This is what’s really killing people. 

The virus is a trigger, and it causes damage, but the virus mainly seems to kill people with a weak immune system. It’s usually certain metabolic conditions that cause weakness within the T suppressor cells.

If your immune system is strong, the coronavirus does not seem to be a big threat.

2:40 An amazing story on hydroxychloroquine 

In this video, I want to compare hydroxychloroquine versus remdesivir. 

A big mistake was made by the World Health Organization when they sent this study to various publications. There was a rush to publish the study right away because of the success of remdesivir, and the wrong study was accidentally sent. 

In the study that was sent, there was not an association with statistically significant clinical benefits with remdesivir. 

The study that they wanted to publish only showed a moderate improvement in recovery time. Remdesivir is also an expensive drug.
 
The media has sparked excitement over remdesivir, but is ignoring hydroxychloroquine. 

A new study that was done using hydroxychloroquine and an antibiotic showed that 91.7% of the patients that were tested for COVID-19, in 10 days did not test positive for COVID-19. The mortality rate was 0.5%, with no cardiac toxicity. Hydroxychloroquine is a very inexpensive drug.

The Potassium-Insulin Connection

If you’re a diabetic or you have insulin resistance, you really need to know about the insulin-potassium connection.

http://bit.ly/LinkBetweenPotassiumandInsulin

Timestamps
0:09 How insulin works
0:44 Glycogen
1:00 Insulin and potassium
2:05 Potassium and insulin resistance
2:28 Potassium deficiency

Today we’re going to talk about the relationship between potassium and insulin. If you’re a diabetic or you have insulin resistance, this video is for you.

Insulin is a hormone that causes you to store fat. In the presence of insulin, it’s almost impossible to burn fat and lose weight because insulin prevents fat burning. With insulin, you store sugar as fat, and it prevents the break down of fat. Insulin also stores glucose and turns glucose into glycogen.

Glycogen is a string of glucose molecules held together as stored sugar. Potassium is also involved. Potassium is necessary in the storage of glycogen.

The main purpose of insulin is to lower your blood sugar. It does that by taking the sugar and putting it in storage as glycogen or as fat.

Insulin also helps put potassium in your cells. When you consume a high-carb diet, you deplete potassium from the inside of the cell—you lose potassium.

Taking potassium makes insulin less resistive. Potassium may be very beneficial if you have insulin resistance. If you’re a diabetic, you have insulin resistance.

If you’re deficient in potassium, that situation will impair glucose and even increase the risk of insulin resistance.

It is very important to get enough potassium—especially if you have a blood sugar issue.

Why is Hypertension the Most Common Underlying COVID-19 Condition?

Why is it that hypertension is the #1 driver of severe COVID-19 symptoms? Find out my theory in this video!

Timestamps:

0:15 Coronavirus statistics
1:14 Why is hypertension associated with severe COVID-19 symptoms?
2:38 What causes high blood pressure?
3:17 Putting the pieces of the puzzle together

In this video, I want to talk to you about hypertension and the coronavirus. In a recent survey, 88% of people with COVID-19 had more than one illness. After being put on a ventilator, the mortality rate jumps up to 80%. These are not promising statistics.

Here’s the question: why is high blood pressure the primary driver of severe COVID-19 symptoms? According to one study, 69.1% of people with coronavirus also had high blood pressure. Another study showed that 53% of people coronavirus patients have HBP—it’s always at the top of the list.

It has to do with the ACE2 receptors. ACE2 receptors are on the outside part of the cells—they are like the doors which COVID-19 can get into a cell.

Those who have high blood pressure often take ACE inhibitors. ACE inhibitors create a situation where more of these ACE2 cells or “doors” are created, which allows for more severe COVID-19 infection.

Keep in mind that I am NOT recommending that you come off of your medication.

To reduce your risk of COVID-19, it’s important to get your blood pressure under control. The question is, what causes high blood pressure?

90% of high blood pressure cases are considered “essential” hypertension. What this really means is that the cause is “unknown.” However, the problem might actually be a vitamin D deficiency. Numerous studies have shown that, when you take vitamin D, your blood pressure levels stabilize.

Following this reasoning, it’s not far off to consider that vitamin D deficiency could be the leading cause of coronavirus complications.

Did You Fall Off the Wagon in Quarantine?

If you’ve had a hard time staying on track with keto and intermittent fasting during quarantine, try these tips to get back into ketosis. 

Timestamps
0:30 Should you do a sugar detox? 
0:55 What happens when you fall off the wagon
2:14 Switching fuel sources 
2:28 What to do to get back into ketosis 

Today we’re going to talk about what to do if you stopped doing keto and intermittent fasting during quarantine and how to get back on track. 

Along with social distancing, you may also want to try carb distancing. Some people think that to get back on keto, they should do a sugar detox. But, there’s really no such thing as sugar detoxification. 

When you stop doing keto and intermittent fasting, the brain starts using glucose as fuel again. But, now you want to get back on track, and you stop consuming carbs and sugar again. Your brain doesn’t have any stored sugar though, so you’re going to feel cognitive changes, such as:

• Sugar cravings 
• Stress
• Depression
• Anxiety 
• Irritability 
• Fatigue 

These are not symptoms of sugar detoxification. They are symptoms of lacking fuel. Changing over your fuel system from glucose to fat takes some time. The brain prefers ketones over sugar. This means that you want to get into ketosis as fast as possible. 

Things that can help get you back in ketosis fast:

1. MCT oil 
2. Consume protein 
3. Lower your carbs 
4. Increase foods high in potassium (vegetables)

0:56 Who’s most at risk for vitamin D deficiency?
1:30 How vitamin D affects the immune system
3:50 Causes of vitamin D deficiency

In this video, I want to talk to you about vitamin D deficiency—the ignored pandemic. There are over 1 billion people in the world who struggle with vitamin D deficiency or vitamin D insufficiency.

Vitamin D is vital to over 200 biochemical reactions. In fact, 5% of the genome is influenced by vitamin D.

China, India, South America, and the Middle East are at the highest risk of vitamin D deficiency. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are also at a high risk of vitamin D deficiency.

What happens when you are vitamin D deficient?
• T-helper cells have a difficult time working
• T-regulatory cells cannot function properly
• Iron is inhibited in many cells
• Immune cells themselves require vitamin D support
• Macrophages cannot function with vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for preventing and recovering from illness and disease. It plays a significant roll in cardiovascular health, blood pressure levels, diabetes prevention, and so much more.

If you have family members who have health problems, it’s important to get them on vitamin D—especially with COVID-19.

The best source of vitamin D is sunlight. Keep in mind that, as you get older, the body has a difficult time absorbing sunlight and creating vitamin D naturally. Clothing, living far from the equator, pollution, dark skin color, skin health, sunblock, bad genetics, infections, and malabsorption problems can all affect the amount of vitamin D you can absorb.

Why Protein Helps Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar)

Here’s what consuming protein may do if you have hypoglycemia. Check this out.

Overview of Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:

Timestamps
0:21 Low blood sugar
0:44 Hypoglycemia symptoms
0:54 My experience with hypoglycemia
1:05 Protein as fuel for the body
1:59 Hypoglycemia and carbs
2:12 Will consuming protein raise insulin?
3:04 What you can do for hypoglycemia

In this video, we’re going to talk about protein and hypoglycemia, and I’m going to cover how protein affects blood sugar.

With hypoglycemia, what happens, is when the blood sugar goes up, insulin pushes it down, leaving you with low blood sugar. People with low blood sugar typically have a higher amount of insulin pushing blood sugar down, and there are no counter hormones to push the blood sugar back up.

Hypoglycemia symptoms:

• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Irritableness
• Grouchiness
• Dry eyes
• Depression

Some people have this idea that the fuel that the body uses is either glucose, fat, or ketones. But, protein can be used as fuel too. Protein can be converted into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. Protein can act as a fuel in addition to replacing the protein in your body. This is why when you consume protein when you have low blood sugar, you start feeling better.

If you have hypoglycemia and you were to consume carbohydrates, you might feel better for a minute, but then the insulin will kick the blood sugar back down. When you consume protein, you will stimulate some insulin, but at the same time, you will stimulate glucagon. Glucagon is the opposing hormone to insulin. Glucagon will raise the blood sugar, and insulin will lower it, creating a leveling effect.

I actually recommend a moderate amount of protein. I believe what may be best for those with hypoglycemia is to get on the healthy ketogenic diet combined with intermittent fasting.
