In this podcast, we’re going to talk about seven instant pain relief hacks that will blow you away.

I used to teach chiropractors and physical therapists these techniques, but I have adapted them so you can do them yourself. Some of these techniques you can do by yourself, but for some of them, you will need help from another person. 

7 instant pain relief hacks:

1. Calf—Opposite shoulder

2. Pain—Mirror image opposite side

3, Gallbladder—Right shoulder 

4. ROM—Flex into the good side

5. Scapular stretch—Neck Stiffness

6. Injuries—Nose

7. Skull injury

Do you find that fasting interferes with your ability to sleep at night? Quite a few people have told me that their sleep isn’t as good at night while they’re doing intermittent fasting. I recently found some research on why this might be. Take a look. 

In this study, the researchers found that energy restriction for 2-7 days caused decreased nocturnal secretion of melatonin by 20%. 

What can you do about this? There are two things you can try:

1. You can add MCT oil to your diet. You want to have this just before bed. 

2. Increase your carbs to 50g a day.

Try one of these and see how it affects your sleep. 

The reason for this problem has to do with insulin resistance. You could have insulin resistance that has been there for a long time. This causes your brain to be starved of glucose. It can take your body time to adapt to ketones so that your energy, especially in the brain, isn’t restricted.

Today we’re going to talk about the side effect of calcium carbonate. A lot of people take calcium carbonate, but they don’t know much about it. 

The biggest thing you need to know is that calcium and other minerals need an acidic medium to be absorbed. If your stomach does not have the acidity you need, the calcium will not be absorbed well.

A lot of people take calcium carbonate for heartburn, and the calcium carbonate dries up the acid in the stomach over time. So not only is the calcium not being absorbed, but it also ends up actually causing heartburn. In my opinion, apple cider vinegar might be a better choice for GERD or heartburn. But, of course, check with your doctor. 

Some studies show that high doses of calcium carbonate also do not increase bone density in osteoporosis. But, it did increase the risk of heart attacks. 

Calcium carbonate may even lower the thyroid function and block a person’s ability to utilize T3 (the active form of thyroid hormone). 

Side effects of calcium carbonate:

1. Loss of appetite

2. Constipation

3. Gas

4. Nausea 

5. Vomiting 

6. A decrease in hydrochloric acid (HCL)

Contraindications to calcium carbonate:

 • Kidney stones

 • Hypercalcemia 

 • Calcification 

 • A severe interaction with 210 drugs 

A lot of people are taking massive doses of calcium carbonate, thinking that it will prevent bone loss when it could actually be creating other issues.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about zinc and your immune system. Zinc is probably one of the most important trace minerals because it does so many different things. But, one of the most important health benefits of zinc is that it can help support the immune system. 

Zinc is involved in:

 • Genes and making DNA

 • Many different enzymes

 • Protein synthesis 

 • Wound healing 

 • Heart health 

 • Joint health 

 • Insulin 

 • Thymus function

 • Gonads

What can happen in relation to your immune system if you have a zinc deficiency:

 • Thymic atrophy 

 • Decreased lymphocytes 

 • Defective white blood cell response 

 • Low recovery rate 

 • Increased duration of infections 

 • Increased inflammation 

 • Increased oxidative stress

 • Decreased capacity to fight off infections

 • Increased susceptibility to viruses and infections

Foods high in zinc:

 • Oysters

 • Red meat 

 • Seafood/fish

 • Pumpkin seeds

If you want to take zinc supplements, I think a good choice is zinc bisglycinate chelate. 

There are certain things that can prevent the absorption of zinc, such as:

 • Phytates 

 • Oxalates 

 • Antacids 

 • Malabsorption (pre-existing gut damage or inflammation)

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the health benefits of selenium. 

What is selenium?

Selenium is a trace mineral that has extremely powerful antioxidant properties. It’s a co-factor enzyme, which means it’s involved in a lot of different enzymes as a helper mineral. Its main job as an antioxidant is to help protect against oxidative damage. Selenium may be beneficial for chronic health problems and conditions where there is inflammation. 

Selenium benefits:

1. Helps make glutathione 

2. Oxidative stress reduction

3. Required for the conversion of T4-T3

4. Reduced complications of certain diseases

5. Anticancer

6. Antitumor 

7. It may be beneficial for those with alcohol-related liver disease 

8. It may be beneficial for those with arsenic poisoning 

9. It may be beneficial for those with autoimmune conditions

10. It may be beneficial for those with BPH

11. It may be beneficial for those with diabetes

12. It may help detox mercury

The RDAs for selenium are 55mcg. But, the therapeutic dosage you may want to consider taking if you have any of the above conditions would be 200mcg. Selenium can have toxic effects if you take too much. 

Selenomethionine may be the most beneficial to take. Brazil nuts are one of the most selenium-rich foods. But, they are also very high in phytic acid. Phytic acid actually blocks selenium. If you want to consume Brazil nuts, be sure to soak them overnight and dry them out first to get rid of the phytic acid.

Your gut microbiome is a combination of good bacteria and bad bacteria, such as:

 • Bacteria 

 • Yeast 

 • Parasites

 • Viruses 

There is something called VLP (viral-like particles). You have a lot of these in and around your body. VLPs don’t have any genetics inside of the cell, but they are viral-like particles that exist throughout the body. 

The human gut virome is clusters of viruses that live in your body, and there are a lot of them. You have a lot of bacteria in your body, possibly trillions. These viruses outnumber your bacteria by 10:1 and, in some cases, 20:1. These viruses typically don’t cause any problems unless you have lowered resistance or a medical problem that makes you more susceptible. This is why it’s important to keep your immune system strong. 

You also have an army of immune cells that include not just white blood cells, but also your good bacteria. If you’re lacking good bacteria, the bad bacteria can thrive. Also, if you’re eating foods that create a lot of inflammation, the inflammation can create a shift from good bacteria to bad bacteria.

There has been a lot of conflicting information in the news about hydroxychloroquine. I want to give you all of the information about it so you can decide if you think it’s a good solution or not. 

Right now, there are three studies that show that hydroxychloroquine is effective. There are two studies that show that hydroxychloroquine is not effective. But there are still studies continuing to be done. 

Hydroxychloroquine studies showing the drug is effective:

1. In the first study, they found that hydroxychloroquine potently blocks the infection of the virus in-vitro. 

2. A clinical trial involving 20 patients in France found that patients that were treated with hydroxychloroquine and an antibiotic tested negative within five days.

3. A randomized control clinical trial with 62 patients in China found that the recovery time for fever and duration of cough significantly improved as well as pneumonia symptoms. 

How does hydroxychloroquine work?

• Hydroxychloroquine is an ionophore, which allows zinc to enter into the cells. Zinc can inhibit the virus. 

• It helps protect the break down of hemoglobin, so you’ll see less damage in the lungs and more oxygen. 

• Hydroxychloroquine suppresses the innate part of the immune system.

If you’re finding that you’ve been gaining weight during this lockdown or coronavirus quarantine, and you want to lose weight, this video is for you. 

There are many reasons why people eat, such as:

A. Stress

B. Fatigue 

C. Boredom 

D. Happiness 

E. Depression

F. Hunger

You’re supposed to only eat when you’re hungry. One of the most powerful things you can do when you’re stuck at home in lockdown is fasting. Fasting can help significantly improve your immune system and give you extra protection. Fasting can also help uplift a person’s mood and even help increase cognitive function. 

Tips for the coronavirus lockdown:

 • Do not buy junk foods

 • Try to get the whole family on board with eating healthy

 • Go for long walks 

 • Stay productive 

 • Apple cider vinegar (in your water) 

 • Vitamin D/Zinc/Vitamin C (to help support the immune system)

 • Vitamin B1 (to help keep your stress low)

 • Potassium (to help lower stress and boost energy)

 • Do not snack 

 • Consume fat with your meals (olives, avocado, MCT oil, nuts)

I have some more good news about COVID-19. I’ve talked about hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment. But, there is another drug out there called Ivermectin. They’re finding that one single dose of this drug can inhibit the COVID-19 virus by 5000% in 48 hours (in vitro).

This drug has already been approved for parasites, lice, and scabies. It has very few side effects, and it’s relatively inexpensive. 

There are a lot of new COVID-19 treatments being tested right now, but they take time. In the meantime, the best thing to do might be to build up your immune system.
