    In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the unique difference between the small intestine and the large intestines. 

    The small intestine:

    The small intestine is a lot longer. There are three parts:

     • The first part is 10-15 inches

     • The second part is about 8 ft. 

     • The last part is 8-13 ft.

    90% of all the digestion occurs in the small intestine. You have enzymes that are generated from the pancreas and the small intestine that help break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fat. 

    In the first part of the small intestine, you have the contents of the stomach and some of the juices from the pancreas coming out to help neutralize the acid from the stomach. You also have the absorption of iron happening here. 

    The next part of the small intestine is where you will absorb certain vitamins and nutrients. In the last part of the small intestine, you will absorb and recycle bile salts. You’re also going to absorb vitamin B12, fat, fat-soluble vitamins, and certain electrolytes. 

    The small intestine is alkaline, which triggers certain enzymes. When the microbes from the large intestine back up and get into the small intestine, that’s called SIBO. SIBO can cause nutritional deficiencies and a lot of bloating.  The large intestine is a bit smaller at around 5 ft. 

    This is where fiber starts to ferment. You’re also going to absorb water, fluids, certain electrolytes, salts, and potassium. There are a lot more bacteria in the large intestine than in the small intestine.  The pH of the colon is going to be more acidic to help kill pathogens that should not be there. But, it doesn’t affect good bacteria. 

    When the fiber is fermented, it’s going to turn into small chain fatty acids, such as butyrate. Butyrate is actually the preferred fuel for the colon cells. Butyrate also helps stabilize your blood sugars, increase energy, and helps improve insulin resistance.

    I this podcast, we’re going to talk about the benefits of probiotics that you may have never heard before. 


    Well-known health benefits of probiotics:

     • Helps with digestion 

     • Decreases inflammation 

     • Gets rid of gas/bloating 

     • Fights against pathogens 

     • Good bacteria help digest fiber

     • Good bacteria make vitamins (biotin, vitamin K)


    Little-known benefits of probiotics:

     • Decreases stress

     • Elevates the mood 

     • Decreases acne

     • Helps with blood sugar control 

     • Decreases body odor 

     • Promotes better sleep 

     • Improves sinuses 

     • Supports weight loss 


    I would recommend probiotic supplements that are in a liquid form that can survive the stomach. 


    I also recommend taking your probiotics before bed. Start by taking a very small amount and gradually work up to taking a tablespoon. If you find yourself detoxifying or feeling congested, then start taking smaller amounts again over a long period of time. 


    You have to let your system get used to the new good bacteria that you’re adding. The good bacteria kill off the bad bacteria, and you can have a little bit of an immune reaction going on in your gut. But, overall probiotics may help improve gut health and much more.

    Today we're going to talk about red and green cabbage differences. I'm also going to tell you which type of cabbage is healthier. 


    Red cabbage vs. Green cabbage: 


    Benefits of red cabbage:

     • 10 times more vitamin A than green cabbage 

     • More Vitamin C than green cabbage (sauerkraut has about 10 times more vitamin C than unfermented cabbage)

     • 2 times more iron than green cabbage 

     • Anthocyanins (ant-cancer, anti-inflammatory, reduces free radical damage)


    Benefits of green cabbage:

     • More vitamin A than red cabbage 


    Both green cabbage and red cabbage contain:

     • Phytonutrients 

     • Sinigrin—sulfur (anti-cancer)

     • Polyphenols 

     • Flavonoids 

     • DIM 


    One of the biggest health benefits of cabbage (both types) is for:

     • Ulcers and gastritis (juice of the cabbage, sauerkraut, coleslaw)


    More cabbage benefits:

     • Cabbage is good for the blood sugars 

     • Cabbage can help balance estrogen dominance 


    Which type of cabbage is healthier?

    Both red cabbage and green cabbage are healthy. Red cabbage has a little bit more nutrients. I actually recommend consuming both types of cabbage.

    In this podcast, I’m going to talk to you about the different causes of jaundice. Jaundice is a situation where your skin and the whites of your eyes turn yellow. This is caused by bilirubin backing up into the skin. 


    Bilirubin is a compound that comes from the breakdown of red blood cells. This happens because your liver isn’t clearing them out. With infants, this can mean that their liver is underdeveloped. With adults, it’s typically liver damage. 


    There are 8 things you can try to help get rid of jaundice. 

    1. Sunlight (or phototherapy)

    2. Vitamin D

    3. Rosemary

    4. Lemon juice

    5. Ginger

    6. Amla berry

    7. Oregano

    8. Milk thistle

    Give these a try and see if they help you get rid of jaundice.

    Today we’re going to talk about referred pain. 


    What is referred pain? 

    Basically, referred pain is pain that is coming from a different location than where you hurt. 


    Referred pain examples:


    1. Pancreas

    May have referred pain to the left shoulder or the back. It may also not be referred pain and hurt right over the pancreas.


    2. Spleen 

    May refer pain to the left shoulder.


    3. Heart

    May refer pain to the left arm, shoulder, or jaw.


    4. Gallbladder 

    May refer pain to the shoulder area.


    5. Liver

    May refer pain to the right shoulder. 


    6. Ovary

    May refer pain to the lower back.


    7. Prostate

    May refer pain to the lower back.


    8. Kidney 

    May refer pain anywhere underneath the last rib to the spine. A kidney stone can cause pain in the groin area, but the problem is not in the groin. 


    What causes referred pain?

    They don’t really know what causes referred pain. 


    A very large percentage of people have referred pain versus pain from the actual pain source. If you haven’t had an injury to a certain area, but it starts hurting for no reason, it’s likely referred pain. 


    What to do for referred pain:

     • Healthy keto

     • Intermittent fasting

  • Sharp Stomach Pain That Comes and Goes

    Today, we’re going to talk about why you might have sharp stomach pain that comes and goes. 


    What causes stomach pain that comes and goes?


    1. SIBO 

    The worst thing to consume if you have SIBO is vegetables. If you have SIBO, try taking betaine hydrochloride.


    2. Inflammation/Ulcer 

    This could be caused by damage from something you’re eating or a food allergy. Try a food allergy test to identify the problem. For an ulcer, taking chlorophyll may help. 


    3. Gallbladder/Bile ducts 

    Eating the wrong types of foods, or high levels of certain hormones can cause a stone. This can create irritation. 


     4. Pancreas/Duct 

    Carbs can cause your pancreas to work too hard. If it’s working too hard, the stimulation can interfere with the normal flow of digestive juices, which can cause a lot of problems. 


    5. Gluten  

    For some people, this can be poisonous and cause a lot of damage to their system.


    6. Fortification (iron) 

    Enriched flour products contain iron. Excessive amounts of iron can be very toxic and cause a lot of damage. 


    7. Vegetable oil 

    Vegetable oils are highly inflammatory to the digestive system. 


    8. GMO grains 

    GMO grains are sprayed with glyphosate, which can irritate your digestive system.

     

    9. Low stomach acid 

    If you don’t have enough acid in your stomach, it will cause food to go through undigested—causing problems. Try consuming apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride.


    10. Frequent eating 

    Intermittent fasting allows the gut to heal and rest. 


    Other than those things, try consuming moderate amounts of protein and keep your carbs low. Also, consume plenty of vegetables except if you have SIBO.

    Today we’re going to talk about zinc. I want to cover the key zinc deficiency causes and the things that can help increase your absorption of zinc. I believe zinc is probably one of the most important trace minerals. Over 2 billion people are at least somewhat deficient in zinc. 


    The big problem with zinc is that we don’t store zinc very well. So, unless you’re consuming it every day, you could end up having a zinc deficiency. 


    Zinc can affect:

     • The reproductive organs 

     • Skin health 

     • The immune system 


    Here are a couple of things that can decrease the absorption of zinc:

     • Too much calcium 

     • Too much iron 

     • Excessive amounts of copper

     • Phytates (bran, rice, grains, corn)

     • Cadmium 

     • Casein 

     • Gut damage 

     • A lot of tannins 

     • A lot of sulfites 

     • Infection 

     • Refined sugar

     • Stress


    Here are a couple of things that can increase the absorption of zinc:

     • Strong stomach acid

     • Enough protein 

     • Red meat 

     • Shellfish (especially oysters)

     • Nuts/Seeds

     • Cheese 


    The amount of zinc you should consider getting per day is 8-13 mg.

  • Hypothyroidism May Not Be a Thyroid Problem

    Talk to a Dr. Berg Keto Consultant today and get the help you need on your journey (free consultation).

    Did you know that the majority of hypothyroid conditions are not really a thyroid problem? 90% of all hypothyroid conditions are Hashimoto's. This is an autoimmune condition. With this autoimmune condition, the thyroid has antibodies that attack itself. This is immune dysfunction, not necessarily a thyroid problem. But, it does affect the thyroid.

     This could be why many people with this condition never see any change—because they're treating the wrong problem. If you look up hypothyroidism, you will see that the cause is low thyroid hormones. But what's causing the low thyroid hormones? 

    If you have hypothyroidism that's not involved with Hashimoto's, it could be secondary to something else. 80% of the conversion of T4 to T3 happens through the liver. So, if there's something going on with the liver or the gallbladder, it could mean that you're just not getting the conversion of T4 to T3.

    You could also have a situation where there is too much estrogen in the body. In this case, the estrogen can block the thyroid. 

    Some other data talks about consuming too many cruciferous vegetables being behind a thyroid problem. But, the studies on this are very sparse. You would also have to consume a tremendous amount of cruciferous vegetables to deplete enough iodine to cause a weakness in the thyroid. There is no data that says consuming cruciferous vegetables will kill the thyroid. 

    If you're worried about cruciferous vegetables causing a thyroid problem, you could steam them or ferment them. You could also have some sea kelp to help replace the iodine that could potentially be depleted by cruciferous vegetables. But, cruciferous vegetables can help regulate estrogen, and really, cruciferous vegetables benefit the entire body.
