0:58 When to take fat-soluble vitamin vs. water-soluble vitamins
1:15 Why fat-soluble vitamins are toxic in large amounts
2:22 Why you should take water-soluble vitamins while fasting
In this video, I want to talk to you about fat-soluble vitamins vs. water-soluble vitamins. When should you take them, and what is the difference?
Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in your fat cells and in your liver. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored—if you consume too much, your body will get rid of what you don’t need.
Fat soluble vitamins include:
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin K1
• Vitamin K2
These vitamins are able to penetrate the fat layer of your cells and go deeper. They can even affect your DNA and mitochondria. Water-soluble vitamins are not capable of this.
Water soluble vitamins include:
• B vitamins
• Vitamin C
You want to take fat-soluble vitamins along with fatty foods. So it’s best to have fat-soluble vitamins with food. They are absorbed far better this way.
You can take water-soluble vitamins any time—you don’t need fat to help with absorption.
Fat-soluble vitamins are toxic in large amounts. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins are stored, and excess amounts cannot be released through the urine.
Keep in mind that you should be taking water-soluble vitamins while you fast since your body doesn’t store them very well.

SEXUAL INTERCOURSE AND THE ASCENSION: A NEW PERSPECTIVE (headphones)
John’s Testimonial
For many years, John experienced debilitating pain in his back and neck. A few work injuries only added to his list of symptoms and challenges, until he eventually felt hopeless about his condition. John and his wife started watching Dr. Joe YouTube videos, and they began practicing his meditations. Despite John’s worries about sitting for prolonged periods of time for lectures and meditations, he and his wife signed up for a Week Long Retreat. He experienced a very noticeable decrease in pain levels — along with an increase in hope and inspiration.

Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:
0:00 About Mastering the Zone by Barry Sears PhD
3:24 How this book shaped my healthy keto and intermittent fasting plan
4:08 Points I don’t agree with & why you should do Healthy Keto
I’m back with a slightly different video than I usually do. I’m going to talk to you about the book that turned my health around. The name of this book is “Mastering the Zone” by Barry Sears, Ph.D.
This is a quote from his book:
“Obviously, fat was not the enemy. If fat isn’t the enemy, then what is? The answer is insulin. It’s excess insulin that makes you fat and keeps you fat. And your body creates excess amounts of insulin when you eat either too many fat-free carbohydrates or too many calories at a meal. Therefore, when you talk about the zone, it is really the zone of insulin. Not too high, not too low—a zone of insulin controlled by your diet.”
In the second chapter, he goes on to talk about protein:
“More important, protein is so vital because it stimulates the hormone glucagon.”
Glucagon opposes insulin. It was the exact opposite effect, which means you can reduce the effects of insulin by increasing glucagon.
Protein and exercise both work to increase glucagon. Carbs, of course, stimulate insulin.
“Glucagon has the opposite physiological action of insulin. In fact, glucagon acts as a major governor of excess insulin production.”
He goes on to write, “It is excess insulin that makes you fat, makes you hungry, makes you mentally foggy, decreases physical performance, and increases the likelihood of chronic disease.”
This information blew me away. It is at the heart of my Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting diet.
However, I improved on this method by increasing his recommended fat intake from 40% to 70%. I also recommend 20% protein, 5% vegetables, and 5% carbs.

Danielle’s Testimonial
Fourteen years ago, Danielle was diagnosed with bilateral, hormone-positive breast cancer. Initially, she beat it, but then last year it was discovered in her liver and brain. Danielle tried a lot of alternative treatments, but she attributes her ultimate complete healing to the committed work of meditating…and learning how to love herself unconditionally.

The Side effects of Vitamin D Come From a Magnesium Deficiency
Did you know that the side effects of vitamin D are not coming from vitamin D? They occur because of a magnesium deficiency. Learn more.

1:34 The only side effect of vitamin D
2:20 Magnesium-rich foods
2:36 What to do
2:52 Why vitamin D won’t work
In this video, we’re going to talk about the side effects of vitamin D and how they can actually occur because of a magnesium deficiency.
Side effects of vitamin D:
• Headaches
• Insomnia
• Restlessness
• Muscle cramps
• Palpitations
• Anxiety
• Constipation
Magnesium is needed for vitamin D to be absorbed. Magnesium helps lower the side effects of taking vitamin D, even though the side effects are not from vitamin D—they’re from a magnesium deficiency. Most people have a subclinical magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium:
• Is a cofactor for 300 enzymes
• Is involved in protein synthesis
• Helps regulate blood sugars
• Is involved in energy production
• Is involved in making glutathione
The only side effect of vitamin D (large amounts without vitamin K2) could be hypercalcemia symptoms. But this is very rare.
Magnesium-rich foods:
• Leafy greens (at least 7 cups per day)
• Pumpkin seeds
• Nuts
What you can do in this situation is take some magnesium with your vitamin D, and that may help these symptoms clear up.
There are some cases where vitamin D won’t work, and that can be because of:
• A problem with the gallbladder
• Liver damage
• Kidney damage
• Not taking vitamin K2
• Gastric bypass
• GI issues

1:00 Symptoms of chronic stress and fight-or-flight mode
4:12 How to lower stress levels and prevent fight-or-flight
In this video, I want to talk about the biggest barrier to recovery and health, which is stress.
In particular, we’re going to talk about the activation of the “fight or flight” mechanism. The sympathetic nervous system’s primary function is to stimulate your body’s fight-or-flight response.
When your body is in a fight or flight state, your adrenal glands are activated, which sharply increases your levels of cortisol and adrenaline.
Our bodies aren’t made to endure long periods of time in fight or flight mode—you can endure 90 seconds or less without a problem. However, today’s environments at work and in daily activities promote the fight or flight system to work endlessly, which just isn’t healthy.
The problem is, when you get stressed, you cannot heal or recover. When fight-or-flight mode is always activated, you…
• Are unable to get good sleep
• Cannot heal
• Release glucose
• Can’t recover
• Can experience poor digestion
• Have poor wound healing
• Retain sodium
• Excrete potassium
• May cause damage to your hippocampus
• Have added risk of disease and infection
• Experience chronic inflammation
• Experience an increased risk of heart disease
• Experience bone loss
• Experience a loss of collagen formation
You can help reduce your stress levels with these simple things:
• Exercise:
• Diet
• Fasting
• Acupressure
• Vitamin B1, potassium, and magnesium
• Breathing exercises
• Vacation/taking time off
• Not taking things so seriously
