    In this podcast, we’re going to talk about absent-mindedness and how to improve absent-mindedness. 

    Absent-mindedness is basically a lack of awareness. If you’re absent-minded, you might be forgetful and easily distracted. It could be happening because your brain cells are tired and starving for energy. 

    Your neurons are normally dependent on glucose or lactate for fuel. But, when you consume those fuels, they have a side-effect. They can potentially cause cognitive dysfunction and absent-mindedness. 

    But, your body can use another type of fuel called ketones. Ketones suppress glucose utilization. If there are ketones and glucose in your blood, your brain will use ketones instead of glucose. 

    A simple solution to bypass a damaged nerve cell is to start increasing ketones. Ketones can feed the neurons what they need to function. They also affect the potassium channels, which can increase the communication between neurons. 

    You can generate ketones by lowering your carbohydrates below 50g. You also may need to increase the time you fast. You would want to do at least 18 hours of fasting with a 6-hour eating window. You may also want to add exogenous ketones. A great form of exogenous ketones is MCT oil. 


    How to overcome absent-mindedness:

    1. Sleep 

    2. Stop thinking so much 

    3. Support your gut microbiome 

    4. Ketones

  • Zinc Enhanced Trace Minerals: Dr. Berg's Product Review

    Today I want to introduce you to my new product called Trace Minerals Enhanced. I did have a trace mineral product in the past that was a liquid, but this is a new and improved version. The old product, being a liquid, could get messy. I also wanted to add some additional trace minerals to this product to make it even better. 


    The most important trace mineral that I wanted to add in a higher amount is zinc. But, if you take one trace mineral over a long period of time without the other trace minerals with it, this can cause deficiencies in the other trace minerals. So, I added a few key trace minerals in a blend of all of the other trace minerals. There are over 74 trace minerals in this product. 


    Trace minerals are minerals needed in very small amounts. They are cofactors in the biochemistry of the body. You have different enzymes that are proteins that are building tissues, breaking food down, and are involved in the different chemical reactions. Trace minerals are essential in those chemical reactions. 


    Consider taking 1-2 capsules per day on an empty stomach.

  • 5 Reasons to Avoid Synthetic Vitamins

    In this podcast, we’re going to talk about natural vs synthetic vitamins and the five reasons why you should avoid synthetic vitamins. 

    Synthetic vitamins vs natural vitamins:

    Synthetic vitamins and natural vitamins are not the same things. In nature, vitamins come in complexes. When you buy a natural vitamin, it can also come as an individual part of the complex, and it’s much better than the synthetic version. But there is a time and a place for the use of synthetic vitamins. 

    For example, a short term detoxification program may call for synthetic vitamins. However, you do not want to use synthetic vitamins for maintenance. The other exception would be the synthetic version of B1, which is benfotiamine. This is a fat-soluble vitamin B1 that does not appear to have any side effects.


    Synthetic vitamins:

     • Synthetic vitamins can be toxic 

     • Synthetic vitamins can cause deficiencies 

     • Synthetic vitamins are basically artificially fractions of parts of vitamins 

     • Synthetic vitamins don’t absorb as well as natural vitamins

     • Synthetic vitamins don’t have cofactors, enzymes, or trace minerals


    How can you tell if you’re getting the right natural vitamins?

    I believe natural or whole food vitamin complexes are the way to go. Look at the back of the label, and in the ingredients, it will tell you if it’s herb-based or a concentrated food vs if it just lists the vitamins and all of their values are the same. For example, B1 - 100mg, B2 - 100mg, B3 - 100mg. In nature, the values would be different. 


    Liver pills could also be an exception as far as synthetic vitamins. But, consuming too much liver or taking too many liver pills could cause you to have too much iron or vitamin A.

    Today we’re going to talk about the infection fatality rate of COVID-19. The infection fatality rate is basically the percentage of how many people who were infected with COVID-19 died. It’s the number of infections divided by the deaths from the infection. 

    Recent evidence indicates that COVID-19 may not be as deadly as previously thought. This really has to do with a lack of testing. 

    It was thought that about 1 million people were infected with COVID-19. But, new evidence suggests that this number is way too low by a factor of 10x, and possibly even up to 30x. 

    The coronavirus has a goal of getting into the cell and quickly doing damage. Once the virus is in the cell, the immune system doesn’t know it’s in there until after it replicates, and it comes out of the cell. Then, the immune system starts to attack the virus, and there is an immune reaction. At this point, B cells start making antibodies to COVID-19. 

    Let’s say you overcame an infection, and you get tested for it. They’re not going to find the virus, but they will find antibodies to the virus. It has been found that a lot more people had the infection, overcame it, and developed antibodies without ending up in the hospital or having any significant problems. This new information creates a completely different picture of the infection fatality rate.

    Are you becoming a germophobe? I’m not against protecting yourself against the coronavirus or any virus for that matter. Yes, masks and washing your hands are incredibly important. But, here’s the thing, not all microbes are harmful. 

    Friendly microbes are not pathogenic. Pathogens are microbes that can cause disease. A huge part of your immune system is friendly microbes. These microbes live all over your body on the inside and out. When you over-sterilize your body, this can lower your immune system and make you more susceptible to infections. 


    A few benefits of your friendly microbes:

     • Certain microbes make acid that makes a pathogen not want to live in that environment. 

     • Friendly microbes make vitamins to support your immune system. 

     • Friendly microbes have anti-tumor properties. 


    In some studies done on mice, they found that mice without any microbial life were more prone to autoimmune diseases, allergies, asthma, and other health issues.

    Your skin flora is very necessary to protect you—it’s an immune defense. When you alter this microbiome, you basically throw the body out of balance, and you could develop inflammatory conditions. 

    Over-sterilization can also lead to a decrease in T cells, which are important in preventing inflammatory reactions throughout the body. 

    Even sterilized food (pasteurized food) goes through a process that kills off everything, including enzymes. These sterilized foods can potentially weaken the immune system.

    Today we’re going to talk about using forest bathing to boost the immune system. Forest bathing was used in Japan in the 80s for physical and mental health. It’s about getting out in nature and taking in the forest atmosphere. 

    Basically, you’re out in the forest, and you’re breathing in certain chemicals or essential oils from the trees. There seems to be a very interesting immune benefit from being exposed to certain essential oils emitted from the trees in the forest. The group of compounds we’re talking about is called phytoncides. 

    This chemical could significantly increase your natural killer cells. The natural killer cells are a part of the innate immune system, and they do several things. They will actually punch a hole into cells that have been infected by viruses and destroy the cell and the virus inside of it. 

    Different studies have also found that diffusing the essential oils with the same chemical in the home could provide benefits. 

    Forest bathing could potentially provide not only immune benefits but stress lowering benefits as well. It’s incredibly important to do what you can to strengthen your immune system. This could be a fantastic, natural, and inexpensive way to do that.

    Today we're going to talk about a certain study that has been circulating the news regarding hydroxychloroquine. 

    According to the news, this study found that hydroxychloroquine was not effective and was even associated with a higher death rate. 


     • This study wasn't even published yet. 

     • This study wasn't peer-reviewed.

     • This study was a retrospective study.


    A retrospective study means that they're using data or events that happened in the past. This was done in a VA hospital. They took the data from the patient's charts and summarized it. This study included 368 patients, and they compared three groups of patients. 

    The first group was treated with hydroxychloroquine. The second group was treated with hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin. The third group was not treated with hydroxychloroquine. 

    Hydroxychloroquine is an ionophore. It allows zinc to travel inside the cell. If there's enough zinc in the cell, this can potentially inhibit the machinery that's causing the replication of the virus. It sounds promising, especially when combined with zinc. In this study, they did not use zinc. Vitamin D was also not involved. Vitamin D is incredibly important in supporting the immune system and inhibiting cytokine storm.

    Each of the groups in the study is very different. Severe cases of COVID-19, as in the first two groups, require hydroxychloroquine. Less severe cases do not, as in the last group. 

    This study emphasized that the group that wasn't treated with hydroxychloroquine had 18 deaths versus 27 deaths in the group treated only with hydroxychloroquine. 

    Without understanding this study, it appears that the drug could make you worse. But, in reality, the groups treated with hydroxychloroquine were much sicker than the group that wasn't.

    Today we’re going to talk about the relationship between COVID-19, mortality, vitamin D, and latitude.

    There are actually all sorts of diseases related to latitude. For example, if you live in the northern hemisphere, you have a higher risk of getting:


     • Colorectal cancer

     • MS

     • Diabetes type 1

     • Breast cancer

     • Celiac disease

     • Lung cancer


    An interesting report states that “low population mortality from COVID-19 in countries south of latitude 35 degrees north supports vitamin D as a factor determining severity.” Nordic countries are an exception likely because they consume a lot of fatty fish and take vitamin D supplements. 

    Vitamin D regulates and suppresses inflammatory cytokines. Vitamin D doesn’t kill the virus, but it can help suppress cytokines, respiratory macrophages, and ARDS.  

    You can also see lower vitamin D levels in people who have conditions that can increase the risk of death from COVID-19, such as:

     • Hypertension

     • Obesity 

     • Diabetes

     • Cardiovascular disease

    Vitamin D is incredibly important to support the immune system and for suppressing inflammation in the respiratory system.

    In this podcast, we're going to talk about lymph nodes and your immune system.

    You can think of the lymphatic system as a back-up drainage system to prevent excess fluid retention. But, this is just a minor function. The big function is the activation of the immune system. 

     One of the purposes of the lymph nodes is to keep a pathogen from spreading throughout the body. You will have an entire war going on within the lymph nodes if there is a pathogenic microbe.

    A person has hundreds of lymph nodes throughout the body. Inside of a lymph node, there are lymphocytes. There are three primary lymphocytes:


    1. Natural killer cells (kill viral-infected cells) 

    2. T cells (kill specific microbes and determine self from non-self) 

    3. B cells (make antibodies)


    Inside of the lymph node:

     • There are a lot of antibody reactions going on

     • The immune system presents tiny parts of pathogens to the T cells 

     • There is a lot of lymph-blood exchange 

     • It filters certain cancer cells


    The spleen is the largest lymph node. When someone has their spleen out, they have an increased risk of infection. Chronic stress activates cortisol, which then can shrink the lymphatic system. A zinc deficiency is another thing that can cause issues with the spleen and the entire lymphatic system.

    Today we’re going to talk about the effects of zinc on your respiratory system. There is a significant connection between zinc, the immune system, and especially your lungs. 


    Potential situations that could occur if you’re deficient in zinc:

     • Increased duration of lung infections 

     • Diminished T cell function

     • Increased cytokines

     • Increased risk of lung infections

     • People with conditions like COPD are typically deficient in zinc

     • Increased risk for ARDS, upper respiratory infections, and lower respiratory infections

     • Increased susceptibility of the lungs to ventilator-induced injury 


    If you have a lung infection, your body is going to be using so much zinc that chances are you could become deficient. The infection itself can cause a depletion of zinc, and then you lose more of the ability to fight the infection.
