In this video, we’re going to talk about the tonsils. What do the tonsils do, and do we really need them?

Yes, you need your tonsils. You do not have any extra organs. You need all of them.

What are the tonsils?
There are four different tonsils. You can look at them as like this lymph tissue that is located in the back of the throat.

What do the tonsils do? 
The tonsils are primarily involved with protecting the microbes from getting down into the lung and creating a respiratory infection. Removing the tonsils increases the person’s risk of getting a respiratory infection.

Natural remedies that support the lymph system are:
• Zinc
• Vitamin D

People that have chronic problems with their tonsils tend to be on a diet that is high in sugar or high in dairy products. A ketogenic diet would be the best choice. Intermittent Fasting will also help you strengthen your immune system.

In this video, we’re going to talk about MCT oil and sleep. There are a ton of great benefits of MCT oil, but today I want to share with you how to use MCT oil to improve sleep quality.

What is MCT oil? – MCT oil is medium-chain triglycerides that convert to ketones very efficiently.

There is a huge connection between getting oxygen and sleeping. We don’t sleep well if we aren’t getting enough oxygen. Ketones actually give you oxygen and less CO2.

The brain prefers ketones if there are enough ketones in your blood. If you’re just starting out on ketosis or you want to spike ketones, you can take MCT oil to do that. Certain parts of the brain that promote sleep can actually run on ketones.  

When you take MCT oil, you want to start with a small amount and work your way up to more to avoid digestive issues. 

How to use MCT oil for sleep:

• Start off taking 1/2 teaspoon of MCT oil before bed and slowly increase to 1 teaspoon if needed.

In this video, we’re going to cover olive oil and aging. There are a ton of great olive oil benefits. One of these great benefits of olive oil is anti-aging.

As you age, you’re more susceptible to damage to your genes, and you have less repair. The more damage you have to your genes, the more diseases you may develop.

Olive oil has a phytonutrient called a phenol, which is a very powerful antioxidant. Phenols can counter oxidants which cause oxidative damage. Phenols may help protect your DNA and reduce oxidative damage to DNA—especially in the mitochondria.

Most oils like soy oil, corn oil, and canola oil are oxidants and create damage to the body. Olive oil is the opposite of that. It’s an antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory properties. Just be sure to use extra-virgin olive oil.

I recently had a question from someone wanting to know more about the spleen. So, in this quick video, I’m going to cover a little bit about what the spleen is and what it does. 

What is the spleen? The spleen is located underneath the right rib cage, underneath the diaphragm. It’s about 2.8-5.5 inches or 7-14 centimeters. 

What does the spleen do? 

• It recycles blood and iron (primary function)
• It acts as a blood reserve
• It enhances your immune system 
• It kills bacteria

In this video, we’re going to talk all about sugar and how it may be hiding in more of your foods than you think. 

There are hidden sugars everywhere. Maybe you’re not consuming white sugar or table sugar, so you think you’re not consuming any sugar at all. But, sugar can go by many different names. The sugar just might be packaged in a healthy way so that it doesn’t even appear to be sugar.

Types of sugar that appear to be healthy, but really aren’t:

• Real cane sugar
• Brown sugar
• Sugar in the raw
• Coconut sugar
• Organic cane sugar
• Fruit juice concentrate
• “Made with real fruit”
• “Made with whole grains”
• Brown rice sugar
• Beet sugar
• Date sugar
• Honey
• Maple syrup
• Agave nectar
• Barley malt 

A few more things to consider:

• Carbs – Fiber (something may not have high sugar, but it may still have high carbs)
• Serving size
• Sugar + protein + fat (spikes insulin, glycation) 
• Yogurt/breakfast bar (typically filled with sugar)
• Natural does not always mean healthy

In this video, I want to cover goitrogens and thyroid function. We’re going to talk about what goitrogenic foods are and if you should be concerned about them.

What are goitrogenic foods? – It is a food that can cause a goiter (an enlarged thyroid). 

The thyroid is in the base of the neck, and it can swell up if it doesn’t have iodine. If someone consumes food that blocks iodine, it can ultimately:

1. Cause more thyroid hormone to be released
2. Cause the thyroid to get bigger 

Goitrogenic food list:

• Casava 
• Corn 
• Cabbage
• Canola 
• Soybeans 
• Cruciferous Vegetables 
• Almonds
• Cherries 
• Strawberries
• Spinach 
• Sweet Potatoes 

Out of these goitrogenic foods, I don’t recommend consuming:

• Casava
• Corn
• Canola
• Soybeans
• Cherries
• Sweet Potatoes

Out of the foods that are fine to consume, cruciferous vegetables could potentially create thyroid problems if:

• You are sensitive to these foods
• You consume large amounts of cruciferous vegetables too frequently
• You have a hypothyroid problem
• You have an iodine deficiency 

If you’re concerned about goitrogenic foods or if you have one of the problems above, you need to:

• Take sea kelp 
• Don’t consume these foods on a daily basis 

Some of the best sources of iodine to protect you from a deficiency that could damage your thyroid health are:

• Shellfish
• Fish 
• Sea kelp (not large amounts)

In this video, I want to talk about a question I received from someone who was wondering how to reverse insulin resistance.

What is insulin resistance? – It’s a condition where the cells are no longer absorbing insulin. Without insulin, the cells can’t get fuel, so they’re starving. This makes you crave carbohydrates. A signal is then sent to the pancreas telling it to make more insulin. The average person with Insulin resistance has 5-7 times more insulin than normal.

High levels of insulin create:

• Starved cells
• High blood sugar
• Damage in the body

What causes insulin resistance? – Overexposure to insulin (chronic carbs and frequent eating)

How do we fix this problem? – The prolonged absence of insulin. 

If you don’t fix insulin resistance:
• You’re not going to get weight loss
• You’re going to be hungry all of the time

In my opinion, it takes about 3-8+ months to reverse insulin resistance. My guess is that healthy keto with intermittent fasting is responsible for 90%+ of improvements. Healthy keto provides the key nutrients you need to help speed up the process.

If you want to enhance your results you can:

• Add exercise 
• Lower your stress
• Get more sleep 
• Get plenty of nutrients (zinc, vitamin D, chromium, potassium, magnesium)

How do you know if insulin resistance is going away?

1. Your hunger is going down
2. You’re losing belly fat
3. Your blood pressure is going down
4. Your blood sugars are good
5. No dawn phenomenon
6. You have more energy
7. You’re satisfied when you eat

Today, I want to answer a question someone recently asked, “how long do I have to do keto and intermittent fasting?”

The ketogenic diet is a lifelong commitment. Healthy keto with intermittent fasting will work while you do it, but the benefits will stop if you stop. You might see some awesome keto diet results, or intermittent fasting results and think it’s ok to stop. But, the long term effects of keto are so beneficial, you really don’t want to stop.

The purpose of doing the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting is for so much more than just weight loss. Doing keto long term is a way of eating to minimize health problems. 

You will eventually build up your health reserve, and you will be able to go off of the program here and there. But, there are no phases of the ketogenic diet. After you reach your keto weight loss goal, instead of adding in carbs, you can add in more calories and more fat.

There are multiple incredible benefits of healthy keto, ketosis, and intermittent fasting. Ketones are a more efficient fuel that your brain and heart prefer. But, one of the biggest problems out there right now is high insulin. Healthy keto with intermittent fasting will help you reduce your insulin, which will benefit your:

• Heart
• Liver
• Brain
• Hormones
• Immune System
• Nerves
• Kidneys
• Eyes

Today, I want to do a quick video to answer a question someone had about the ketogenic diet and depression. This person had started the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting and was feeling depressed. Why would this happen?

What causes depression on keto? – It may be because of a nutritional deficiency.

Healthy keto and intermittent fasting are supposed to make your mood go up. If you’re having depression while on keto, or depression while doing intermittent fasting, you may have nutritional deficiencies. If you have any type of subclinical nutrition deficiency, it will be magnified when you do intermittent fasting, and sometimes when you do keto as well.

Nutrition deficiencies that can cause depression while on keto:

1. Low zinc
2. Low vitamin D
3. Low B12

The great majority (90-95%) of hypothyroid cases are Hashimoto’s. Let’s talk about what Hashimoto’s is and why this is the case. 

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition. This means that there are cells that are attacking the thyroid, which keeps the thyroid inflamed. Hashimoto’s is actually more of an immune problem than a thyroid problem. 

A few Hashimoto’s symptoms are:

• Stress
• Anxiety
• Depression

You can pretty much have any thyroid symptom, but when you have Hashimoto’s, you can also have symptoms of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). 

What causes this?

• A high percentage of people with Hashimoto’s developed it 3-8 months postpartum.
• There are 5-8 times more women that have this condition than men.

This tells us there is a problem with estrogen. Estrogen is a very powerful antioxidant. Many times, women have lower amounts of estrogen postpartum. This can set them up for getting this autoimmune condition.

A few more things that could contribute to this problem are:

• Gluten
• A zinc deficiency
• Low vitamin D 

Action Steps:

• Take around 300mg of selenium per day
• Take iodine only if you’re deficient
• Start healthy keto and intermittent fasting

In this video, I want to go over the interesting benefits of fish for your brain and your eyes.

Fish are so beneficial for your brain and your eyes because of DHA. But, not all fish have high levels of DHA.

What is DHA? – DHA is an omega 3 fatty acid. It’s used as a primary structural component of the brain and the retina. If you’re low in DHA, it can affect many things, including your cognitive function and your mood. 

Foods rich in DHA (Per 100g):

• Caviar – 3400mg
• Atlantic Mackerel -1400mg
• Anchovies – 1292mg
• Atlantic Salmon -1115mg
• Herring – 1105mg
• Chinook Salmon – 944mg
• Blue Fin Tuna – 890mg
• Beef Brain – 855mg
• Microalgae (for vegans)

There are cofactors that allow DHA to work in the brain and in the eyes which are zinc and iodine. You can get both of these cofactors when you consume seafood.

DHA is also needed to make Rhodopsin. Rhodopsin is a light-sensitive protein in the eye that’s mainly involved with low-level light. If you have a hard time seeing at night, you may need DHA or vitamin A.

Today we’re going to talk about keto and calories. Do you count calories on keto? How many calories on keto should you do?

People are carrying around a lot more calories of fat than they may realize. Many people think they will lose weight just by cutting their calories. But, in reality, this doesn’t work.

Counting calories doesn’t really work because of these variables:

• Age
• Slow Thyroid
• Insulin Resistance
• Exercise
• Stress
• Sleep
• Dietary Fat vs. Body Fat Burning
• Body Problem (autoimmune problem, inflammatory condition, etc.)
• How Calories Influence Hormones
• How Many Times You’ve Dieted In The Past
• Speed of metabolism 

Instead of trying calorie counting, discover how many calories you need and how many times you should eat.

When you consume a meal, you should be satisfied and full without being uncomfortable. You don’t need to count calories on keto. You just need to aim for being satisfied. 

Action Steps:

• Start with healthy keto (shift to fat-burning)

Then, start working your way down this list if you need to as your body adapts.

1. Remove snacks
2. Go down to two meals

If that doesn’t work, go to the next level:
3. Go down to one meal (OMAD)

If that doesn’t work, go to the next level:
4. Go down to one meal every other day

Enhance weight loss by:

• Adding exercise
• Adding nutrients
• Getting plenty of good sleep 
• Lowering your stress

In this video, I want to cover autophagy and the real reason why autophagy exists. 

What is autophagy? – Autophagy is a condition where your body takes damaged proteins and recycles them. The recycling process provides amino acids for fuel, and to be used as raw material to build tissue. Autophagy was created to cope with starvation. During starvation or fasting, autophagy acts as a survival mechanism.

Damaged proteins are very toxic to the body. It’s very beneficial to get these damaged proteins out of the body. Autophagy also eliminated microbes and viruses. 

Types of damaged proteins:

• Misfolded proteins
• Oxidized proteins
• Mutated proteins
• Glycated proteins

Autophagy is not a mechanism that switches on and off. Autophagy is always going on unless you have an issue like high blood sugar or an inflammatory condition.

You probably have an effective autophagy system if you’re doing:

1. Keto
2. Exercise (as you exercise your efficiency with autophagy also improves)
3. Fasting (18 hours or longer is great for autophagy) 

Autophagy benefits:

• Anti-aging and enhancing benefits
• It gets rid of things that are very unhealthy for your body
