In this short podcast, we’re going to talk about carbs and carbohydrate requirements. 

There are no RDAs for carbs. There is no such thing as essential carbohydrates. There are essential amino acids and fatty acids but no essential carbohydrates. The definition of “essential” that I’m talking about means that your body can’t make it. It needs to get it from the diet. 

Can your body make glucose? Yes, it’s called gluconeogenesis. Some things say glucose is necessary for the brain and red blood cells. That’s true. But when you reduce glucose and cut down on carbs, your body starts burning ketones and fatty acids. The body can actually turn ketones, fat, and protein into any glucose that it needs. You do not need glucose. 

That being said, your microbes do like to eat fiber, and fiber is a carbohydrate. But, it is the only carbohydrate that has zero effect on insulin. Fiber is okay. 

A low-carb diet will do a lot of great things for you even if you consume more fat. When you lower your carbs and raise the amount of fat you consume, your cholesterol can actually go into a really good range. Your LDL may go up temporarily, but the good LDL will be high, and the bad LDL will be low.

A high carb diet may increase your risk of high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart problems.

Today, we’re going to talk about a fantastic natural remedy for gallstones. It’s called Spanish black radish. 

You could potentially use any type of radish, but the Spanish black radish seems to work the best for gallstones. 

Spanish black radish may work the best because it helps reduce cholesterol while at the same time stimulating bile flow. A gallstone really occurs because of super-concentrated cholesterol with a reduction in bile. Bile salts can actually help keep gallstones from forming. 

Bile is made by your liver. It flows through small ducts and eventually is stored in the gallbladder. The gallbladder concentrates the bile. But, if there is something going on with the liver, you might not be able to produce enough bile. Saturated fats also trigger the release of bile. If you’re on a low-fat diet, you may not have enough bile to dissolve cholesterol and keep the cholesterol from forming gallstones. 

Incredible potential health benefits of black radish: 

 • Anti-gallstones 

 • Anti-cancer

 • Anti-diabetes 

 • Antimicrobial 

 • Hepatoprotective 

 • May help get rid of mucus

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and why insulin may be behind it. 

Polycystic ovarian syndrome or polycystic ovarian disease is a condition that occurs in females, which involves having too much androgen. Typically males have more androgens and/or testosterone. Women do naturally have androgens, but not at the same levels. High levels of androgens in women can cause polycystic ovarian syndrome symptoms.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome symptoms:

 • Facial hair

 • More body hair

 • Acne

 • Hair loss (a receding hairline)

 • Deeper voice 

 • Irregular cycles or no cycles 

 • Cysts on the ovaries 

I believe insulin causes PCOS with two different mechanisms. 

Mechanism #1 

The first one involves a hormone from the pituitary called LH. When you increase insulin, you’re going to get a spike in LH, which comes down from the pituitary to the ovaries. Once this hormone connects with the ovaries, it triggers this certain cell called a theca cell, which increases androgens.

Mechanism #2

There is a buffering mechanism in your liver called SHGB. This compound buffers androgens. When you increase insulin, you decrease this compound. Then, you get less buffering and more free testosterone.

Do you have the newest eating disorder—it has to do with snacking and binge eating. Let's find out. 

Step 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZfy... 

DATA: https://www.citizen.org/news/vyvanse-...

Could your snacking or binge eating be a medical disease? In this podcast, we're going to find out. 

The newest eating disorder is called Binge Eating Disorder or (B.E.D). 

Signs of a binge eating disorder: 

 • Excessive eating at least 1 time a week for 3 months

 • Eating every 2 hours

 • Eating more rapidly 

 • Eating until uncomfortable 

 • Eating alone 

 • Feeling guilty after eating 

 • Being on a fad diet where you cut out food groups 

 • Engaging in sporadic fasting and binging 

There is a drug for a binge eating disorder called Vyvanse. This is a new application of an old drug that has been used for other things. It's the only FDA approved solution for this disease. 

Side effects of a Vyvanse:

 • Sudden cardiac death 

 • Stroke 

 • Significant high blood pressure 

 • Psychosis 

 • High rate of abuse 

 • Seeing and hearing things 

I am definitely not promoting Vyvanse as the solution to this disease. It's my opinion that snacking and binge eating is not a medical disease. I think it's a normal thing that a lot of people go through, and if they just did healthy keto combined with intermittent fasting, their need for snacks would go down.

Benfotiamine:

Today I want to cover my favorite natural pain killers. Over 635 billion dollars a year is spent on pain relief. People become addicted to prescription drugs, and there are a lot of side effects of prescription drugs. Really, I believe these drugs help you patch up the problem over and over instead of really fixing the root issues. 

There are three categories of pain:

 • Tissue damage 

 • Nerve damage 

 • Referral pain 

*Referral pain is very common and often misunderstood. Many people have pain that’s being referred from another place in their body—primarily the digestive system. 

Examples of conditions that may be referral pain:

 • Chronic back pain 

 • Cancer pain 

 • Fibromyalgia 

 • Headaches 

 • Arthritis 

 • Post-surgery pain 

 • Rheumatoid arthritis 

 • Trauma pain 

The best natural pain killers:

1. DMSO 

2. Benfotiamine 

3. Stinging nettle root

4. Vitamin D

5. Willow bark (salicylic acid)

6. Fish oil (cod liver oil)

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about how to strengthen your red blood cell.

What do red blood cells do?

 • Red blood cells are called erythrocytes. They are there as a method of carrying oxygen. 

 • Your body makes 2.4 million red blood cells per second. 

 • Red blood cells are made in a factory inside of your long bones. 

 • A red blood cell will last between 100-120 days.

 • It takes 60 seconds for a red blood cell to travel from your lung, through your body, and back to your lung. 

 • It has no nucleus or DNA. Viruses use your DNA to replicate, so viruses can’t hurt red blood cells. 

 • You have between 20-30 trillion red blood cells. That makes up 70% of all of your cells. 

 • The red blood cell can’t use ketones as fuel. It uses glucose. Your body makes its own glucose (gluconeogenesis). You don’t need to consume glucose to feed the red blood cell.

Today we’re going to talk about dry fasting, and I’m going to share with you my opinion about it. There are a lot of benefits of fasting, but is one type of fasting better? Let’s look at dry vs. wet fasting. 

What is dry fasting?

Dry fasting is fasting (not eating) without any water or liquids of any kind. 

What is water fasting?

Water fasting is when you’re fasting, but you’re drinking water. 

There are also two types of dry fasting:

Soft dry fasting: 

This is when you’re allowed to use water when you brush your teeth or take a shower. 

Hard dry fasting: 

This is when you do not expose any part of your body to water at all. 

The body can typically only go around three days without water. But, your body will go a lot longer if you’re just restricting food and not water because you still have a fat reserve to live off of. 

There is no research or studies comparing dry fasting and wet fasting side by side. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a bad thing or that you won’t get amazing results. In theory, dry fasting may work well for some people for one day. If you wanted to try dry fasting, I wouldn’t go longer than one day. Then, you can compare a day of doing a dry fast and a day of doing a wet fast and see what works best for you.

Today we’re going to talk about magnesium and sleep. I’m going to share how magnesium may be able to help improve your sleep quality. 

Magnesium is a very important mineral that is involved in many different biochemical reactions. One of the effects magnesium has is to help someone sleep. 

How magnesium may help improve sleep:

1. It increases serotonin and melatonin 

2. It increases GABA 

3. It decreases adrenaline (lowers the fight or flight mechanism)

4. It promotes muscle relaxation

5. It decreases inflammation (C-reactive protein)

6. It helps decrease restless leg syndrome 

7. It supports the heart (may lessen angina and arrhythmia)

8. It helps decrease PMS cramping

Stress Webinar: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueI10... 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsoYk...

Today we’re going to talk about how to stop a panic attack. A panic attack is severe anxiety. Many times during a panic attack, people feel a lot of fear, and they may also feel like they can’t breathe.

During a panic attack, the adrenal glands are involved. These are stress glands. Also, in your brain, you have something called the amygdala. The amygdala is similar to the adrenals because it’s also involved in the fight or flight mechanism. It has been found that when the amygdala is removed, a person loses all fear. The amygdala is involved in fear. Fear is a survival mechanism. 

How to help stop a panic attack:

1. Slow down your breathing 

Breathe in for 4-5 seconds and then breathe out for 4-5 seconds.

2. Take long walks

Take about a 40-60 minute walk every day. Get out in nature, get space, and get oxygen. 

3. Stop watching the news 

You don’t need the negativity. 

4. Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 is necessary to help counter stress. Refined carbs deplete vitamin B1. People that have panic attacks or anxiety attacks are typically on a high-carb diet. 

5. Acupressure 

Acupressure may really help pull someone out of a panic attack fast.

6. Adaptogens 

These are herbs that help people adapt to stress. They can help calm the sympathetic nervous system, lower cortisol, and regulate stress.
