0:35 What causes excessive daytime sleepiness? 

Today we’re going to talk about daytime sleepiness. If you find that you’re still tired even after sleeping all night, this is called excessive daytime sleepiness. 

When you go to bed, there are waves of hormones that occur. There are four 90 minute cycles, and when you go through these waves, there are different levels of sleep. The goal is to get into delta sleep, which is when you really recharge. 

What prevents you from getting into the delta sleep wave, or makes you tired all the time?

1. Vitamin D deficiency 
2. Not enough fermented foods
3. Not enough omega 3 fatty acids 
4. EMF 
5. Chronic infection

Find out what causes autoimmune conditions.

Today we’re going to talk about autoimmune conditions and what causes autoimmune conditions? 

An autoimmune condition is a situation where your body has created immune cells that are attacking itself. 
This creates inflammation, and the inflammation creates a lot of collateral damage. It’s all of the free radicals that end up actually destroying the tissue. 

The immune cells that are attacking itself are called autoantibodies. You can have these autoantibodies to pretty much any tissue in the body. 

What autoimmune conditions boil down to is one cell called the Th17 cell becoming overactive. Excessive amounts of this cell are responsible for autoimmune conditions. 

In your immune system, you have a lot of different T cells. The T stands for thymus. Typically T helper cells do things like recruiting help to fight infection and generating weaponry. It’s the main controller in the battle against infections. 

One of the functions of these cells is to maintain the intestinal barrier. This is the barrier that helps keep out viruses and pathogens. If there’s a break in the wall and harmful bacteria get in, they can invade the inside of the body, causing an immune attack. Now, your body is going to start creating antibodies against these cells. If those cells are pathogens, this is a good thing. But, what if those cells are your own cells? This, of course, wouldn’t be good. 

Another function of Th17 cells is making sure that the body doesn’t destroy its own tissue. This cell could help prevent autoimmune conditions. 

The Th17 cells also work with the T regulatory cells, which have an even greater function of preventing autoimmune diseases. It may also help suppress autoimmune diseases and hyperinflammatory conditions. T regulatory cells also calm down infections. 

When the Th17 cell doesn’t work as it should, you’re at risk for getting a movement of bacteria across the intestinal barrier. This could lead to chronic infection and chronic inflammation. 

It’s unclear how these cells become overactivated. But, what is known is that there are usually several things involved, such as:

1. Infection
2. Stress
3. Malnourishment 

Vitamin D can potentially help bring down this overreaction of the Th17 cell.

Why does Saudi Arabia have such a vitamin D problem despite having a lot of sun exposure?

1:45 Vitamin D and diet 
2:00 Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency 
2:40 How to get more vitamin D 

Today let’s talk about Saudi Arabia and vitamin D. 

There was a meta-analysis between 2008 and 2015 that demonstrated that 63.5% of the population had a vitamin D deficiency. On top of that, 19.9% of the population had vitamin D insufficiency (a subclinical vitamin D deficiency). Together, this is 83.4% of the population that had a problem with vitamin D. 

Saudi Arabia is also:

• 7th in the world for the rate of getting type 2 diabetes
• 4th in the world for the rate of getting type 1 diabetes

84% of the type of 1 diabetes cases in children showed a vitamin D deficiency. 

So, why is this such problem in Saudi Arabia? Well, there is traditional clothing typically worn in Saudi Arabia, that blocks the sun. But, there are other factors as well.

Only 10% of the vitamin D you get comes from your diet. It’s almost impossible to get all of the vitamin D you need from your diet. 

Vitamin D deficiency symptoms:

• Fatigue 
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Inflammation
• Aches 
• High blood pressure 
• Weak immunity 

It may be beneficial, especially for those in Saudi Arabia, to start taking vitamin D supplements. If you do take vitamin D supplements, you may also want to take vitamin K2. For every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3, consider taking 100 mcg of vitamin K2.

Do you still have high blood sugar in the morning, even without consuming sugar? Here’s what you need to know.

0:50 Why does this happen? 
1:20 The dawn phenomenon 
1:40 Insulin
2:15 Blood sugar 
3:18 What you can do 

Today we’re going to talk about why you might have high blood sugar in the morning even though you’ve had zero sugar. You might even have your first meal and notice that your blood sugar levels actually go down. What’s up with that?

Your liver is actually what’s making the sugar. The name for this is called gluconeogenesis. The liver is making new sugar out of protein, ketones, or fat. 

Everyone has a little bit of this going on. To an extent, this is a normal reaction due to hormone fluctuations. To a very small degree, you’ll have blood sugar fluctuations throughout the night and throughout the day. But, when you have too much of this, it’s called the dawn phenomenon. 

The dawn phenomenon is a situation where you wake up, and your blood sugars are too high. This is likely due to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance makes the dawn phenomenon a lot worse. 

All of this goes back to insulin, which stores fat, and is supposed to keep gluconeogenesis from happening. When you have insulin resistance, in certain parts of your body, you don’t have enough insulin. But, in other parts of the body, you have too much insulin. 

A normal blood sugar level is about 80. This would mean you have about 1 level teaspoon of sugar in all of your blood or 5 grams. For every 10 points that your blood sugar goes up, that’s an increase of 1/2 gram. If your blood sugar is 120 in the morning, this means you have an extra 2 grams of sugar in all of your blood. This is not an outrageous amount that will cause a lot of problems. 

What you can do if you have high blood sugar in the morning:

1. Give it time
2. Take things to speed up the process (potassium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B12)
3. Exercise (walk for about 20 minutes)

Do you have brain damage? Here’s how you can find out!

Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:

1:04 Symptoms of brain damage
1:14 The cause of brain damage
1:40 How ketones improve brain function
1:56 The brain damage experiment (do this!)
3:12 How to slow down and improve brain damage

In this video, I want to give you a quick way to know if you have brain damage. The truth is, everyone acquires some degree of damage in their brain as they age. This has to do with a lack of fuel in your neurons.

In one study, it was shown that the average person loses about 30% of their brain cells as they reach old age. This happens very gradually over time. The early signs of dementia can come on slowly—you might start forgetting where you put your keys or forget someone’s name.

When your neurons are starving of fuel, you will notice:
• Loss of memory
• Lack of clarity
• Loss of focus and poor attention span

This all comes from consuming a high carbohydrate diet. Over time, carbs cause insulin resistance, and glucose cannot supply the brain cells with energy.

Neurons actually prefer a different type of fuel: ketones. If given a choice between glucose and ketones, your neurons will choose ketones every time.

There are two simple experiments you can do to find out if you have brain damage:

1. Go on a healthy ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting plan, which promotes the creation of ketones.

2. Use MCT oil – this instantly creates ketones.

After 1-2 weeks, take note of your cognitive improvements. If there are significant improvements, this could be a sign of damage due to low nutrients in your brain. In this case, it’s important to stay on a keto and intermittent fasting plan. It may even help reverse damage done to the brain.
