Most women think intermittent fasting is dangerous or that it will wreck their hormones, but much of this concern is based on a faulty animal study.

For women dealing with hormonal problems like PCOS, a sluggish thyroid, menopausal weight gain, or irregular periods, intermittent fasting can be especially beneficial. The caveat is that you have to gear your intermittent fasting plan to your specific biology. The protocol for a woman with PCOS will look different from the protocol for a woman going through menopause.

To start intermittent fasting, you need a fasting window of 14 hours or greater. Many of the benefits of fasting are related to lowering insulin, which allows your body to tap into its fat reserves for fuel.

When insulin is too high, androgens can become elevated and contribute to estrogen dominance and low progesterone. This can affect your mood and contribute to symptoms like facial hair and cystic acne.

By lowering insulin, intermittent fasting can support hormone balance, fertility, and thyroid health and function and help reduce symptoms associated with menopause.

If you’re wondering whether you’re following the right intermittent fasting pattern, go by how you feel.

0:00 Introduction: How to get rid of mucus

If you have a problem with any type of excess mucus, there is a really simple and inexpensive solution: salt.

Salt is one of the best natural remedies for mucus. There has been a long history of using certain types of salt therapy to support the immune system.

Salt is very antimicrobial. It has antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-yeast, and anti-mold properties. Salt is also really good for breaking up thick mucus.

There are many different ways you can use salt as a remedy for mucus. If you live near the ocean, you could simply drive to the coast and breathe in the salty air.

If you’re not near the coast, you can dissolve one teaspoon of sea salt in a glass of warm water and drink it.

Other ways to use sea salt for mucus include:

Most respiratory infections are viral-related, so antibiotics won’t be helpful. You have to give a viral infection time to go away, but during that time, it’s crucial to support your immune system.

The best things to support your immune system:

The most important microbe can amplify the immune system, increase your muscle mass, and even help you live longer, but most people are missing it! Watch this fascinating interview with Dr. William Davis as we discuss this missing microbe.

Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food)

0:00 Welcome, Dr. William Davis!

Please join me in welcoming Dr. William Davis, author of “Super Gut” and pioneer in research about the most important microbe called L. reuteri.

Rats given L. reuteri stayed young, active, and slender, and their fur remained thick and healthy as they aged. Their immune systems were amplified, and wound healing time was cut in half. Increased testosterone and growth hormone were observed in elderly mice, and the thymus was restored to its original size. Dr. Davis has seen all of these amazing benefits in humans!

Many people are missing this microbe! L. reuteri, like other Lactobacillus species, are very susceptible to antibiotics. Dr. Davis estimates that 96% of the population is missing L. reuteri, a major factor in the SIBO epidemic.

L. reuteri is a keystone microbe, which is important for the entire body’s ecosystem. It’s been found to increase the hormone oxytocin, traditionally regarded as the hormone of love and empathy. Oxytocin also influences body composition.

Many people experience increased muscle mass after consuming L. reuteri, which can be very beneficial in combating age-related muscle loss and many other side effects of aging.

You can make your own L. reuteri “yogurt” for its amazing benefits!

Is there a perfect meal to reverse metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease? In this video, I’ll share the best foods for diabetes and heart health that can also help with chronic kidney disease prevention.

0:00 Introduction: The best meal for type 2 diabetes, heart, and kidney disease

Metabolic disease is caused by a problem at the cellular level. Your cells can no longer get energy, even with an abundance of fuel.

People with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease represent 25% of our population! According to research from Harvard, 93% of US adults have at least one abnormal risk factor, such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, visceral fat, inflammation, fatty liver, sleep apnea, or being overweight. Mitochondrial dysfunction is at the root of the problem.

On average, people consume 31 teaspoons of sugar per day! Sugar isn't the only problem. Industrial food starches such as modified food starch, modified corn starch, and maltodextrin

Insulin removes sugar from your blood and stores it as belly fat, liver fat, or high triglycerides. During this process, the mitochondria are damaged. This could go on for years before blood sugar problems begin. A fasting insulin test would be the only way to detect the problem, but these are not routine.

To reverse chronic disease, you must eliminate refined carbohydrates and eat less frequently!

Here are the best foods for diabetes and heart health:

For your best health, practice the following healthy habits:

Drinking cloves in coffee is one of the easiest ways to get the health benefits of cloves. Not only does it intensify the flavor of your coffee, but it can also provide significant health benefits.

Eugenol from cloves typically supports the upper portion of the digestive tract because the vast majority of this compound doesn’t make it past the liver. It can be beneficial against H. pylori because it survives stomach acid.

Research has shown that cloves have the following benefits:
• Reduces dental pain
• Has antimicrobial properties
• Supports liver health
• Has anti-inflammatory properties
• Has antifungal properties
• Fights ulcers

Coffee has its own benefits and supports healthy blood glucose levels.

When it comes to cloves, less is more. Around 1 to 3 cloves in your coffee is sufficient. To make clove coffee:
1. Crush 1 clove.
2. Add it to your coffee and wait 2 minutes.
3. Drink!

Watch as Dr. Berg challenges ChatGPT’s health tips, testing its credibility. You may think twice about trusting ChatGPT’s health tips after this ChatGPT vs. Dr. Berg face-off!

Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food)

0:00 Introduction: AI vs. health guru

To lower cholesterol, ChatGPT claims you should lower dietary cholesterol, increase unsaturated fats, and replace animal proteins with plant proteins. Plants do not have complete protein, and if you reduce your dietary cholesterol, you could end up low in bile and vitamin D. Cholesterol is a vital component of your cell membranes, hormones, and brain.

ChatGPT falsely claims that seed oils are not “that bad” when used in moderation. Balance and moderation allow you to continue eating bad food without worrying about the consequences. If you have a chronic disease, you can not simply “balance” your diet.

If you have diabetes, you do not want to spike insulin with carbohydrates. ChatGPT recommends legumes and grains for people with diabetes and small, frequent meals. This advice would continue to spike insulin, and would not help reverse diabetes!

When asked about diet and nutrition for people with chronic diseases, ChatGPT ignores powerful ways to drastically improve one's health, such as increasing vitamin D and fasting. It continues to recommend moderation for ultra-processed foods, claiming that it is safe and healthy for 20% of your daily calories to be ultra-processed.

Today we’re going to talk about the difference between hormone therapy and glandular therapy. Another name for glandular therapy is organotherapy.

Organotherapy uses organ extracts from animals. Hormone therapy uses synthetic versions of isolated hormones.

Hormonal therapy has a myriad of potential complications and side effects.

Glandular therapy supports the endocrine system as a whole. When you take a glandular supplement, you’re getting:

Does it seem like your vitamins aren't working? In this video, I’ll tell you how to increase vitamin absorption in the body. Find out how to take vitamins correctly to increase vitamin effectiveness.

Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food)

0:00 Introduction: Do I need to take vitamins?

You may be wondering, do I need to take vitamins? Your body needs around 180 nutrients, and it’s often difficult to satisfy these requirements, especially for vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B3. You can not always identify nutrient deficiencies in the blood.

Low stomach acid interferes with vitamin and mineral absorption. If you have low stomach acid, you might also experience problems breaking down food with vitamin B12. Indigestion, heartburn, and SIBO are common symptoms of low stomach acid.

Synthetic vitamins aren't the same as natural ones. Do not take synthetic vitamin B12 or B9! Some nutrients need other nutrients to function properly, so taking them in isolated forms rather than a complex can cause problems.

Many vitamins contain fillers like maltodextrin that compete for nutrients such as vitamin C. Vitamin B1 is essential for breaking down sugar and carbs, so when you consume maltodextrin, it’s easy to become deficient.

Poor diet could be a reason why vitamins aren’t working for you. If you’re diabetic, prediabetic, or have insulin resistance, vitamin absorption will be greatly inhibited. Fix this by going on a low-carb diet.

Poor-quality supplements often contain calcium carbonate, which is limestone! Multivitamins with calcium and magnesium are poorly absorbed because these two minerals compete for absorption.

Vitamin effectiveness is greatly influenced by dosage. The RDA for vitamin D3 is only 600 IU, but you need around 10,000 IU daily. If you have a chronic illness, you need therapeutic doses of vitamins, not small amounts.

Always pay attention to the milligram dosage when choosing a supplement! Taking too little of a supplement significantly reduces vitamin absorption and effectiveness.

What you eat for breakfast affects how you feel for the rest of the day. Discover the best breakfast foods that boost morning energy and improve cognitive function throughout the day. Find out how a healthy morning breakfast can significantly change your overall well-being.

Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food)

0:00 Introduction: How breakfast affects your day

Fix your gut health with this free guide:    • Fix Your Gut with ONE Microbe

What you eat for breakfast affects your ability to focus, your creative ability to solve problems, and how well you sleep at night.

A carb-heavy breakfast promotes insulin resistance, which inhibits your ability to absorb fuel. The first place you’ll notice this is in your brain.

Ketones are a much better fuel for your brain than sugar. To make ketones, you need to lower your carbs and sugar. You can also produce ketones by fasting. While fasting, your body must convert to making ketones for energy.

Carbohydrate breakfast foods leave you hungry within an hour-and-a-half of eating. Sugary cereal is a poor choice for breakfast. Magic Spoon or keto-friendly granola without added sugar is a better option.

Oatmeal is generally one of the most ultra-processed foods. If you want to eat oatmeal for breakfast, look for regular oatmeal without sugar. The best option for oatmeal is steel-cut oats, although they take longer to cook.

Oatmeal and wheat are heavily sprayed with glyphosate, which has been shown to cause cancer and problems with your gut. Choose organic to avoid this problem.

Replacing your breakfast food with protein such as meat, bacon, and eggs can significantly change your energy levels and cognitive function. Eggs and bacon are the perfect healthy morning breakfast. You can also add avocado or cheese. Cheese is very nutritious, a good source of protein, and has good bacteria due to the fermentation process.

Yogurt is a great breakfast option. Choose organic Greek or Bulgarian yogurt without added sugar, or make your own yogurt. Instead of giving your kids Wonder bread, try a sprouted bread like Ezekiel bread. Add peanut butter for extra protein. Red meat and pork sausage are also great breakfast foods.

It’s important to prioritize sleep! Losing just one hour of sleep can significantly affect your blood sugar and cognitive state.
