0:00 Introduction: Why you shouldn’t take iron supplements

Too much iron over time can cause iron accumulation in your organs and tissues. Some people have a genetic problem that makes it difficult to eliminate iron if it accumulates too much.

Potential side effects of too much iron include the following:

Iron deficiency is one of the most common mineral deficiencies, but iron can also be dangerous if you’re getting too much. Iron toxicity is one of the most underdiagnosed and overlooked conditions.

When you take iron supplements, you don't absorb very much. The excess iron accumulates in the digestive tract, causing constipation, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, and irritation of the colon. The type of iron in iron supplements feeds pathogens.

Red meat is a better source of iron. Heme iron from red meat and fish is absorbed much more easily. It goes straight into the bloodstream. Red meat also has other nutrients like B vitamins, zinc, and selenium. High-quality protein also helps to balance iron.

Many processed foods contain added iron in the forms of ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulfate, and ferrous gluconate. The most common sources of iron are supplements, fortification, and cooking with cast iron cookware. Liver damage will also cause you to accumulate iron.

A lack of copper is a common cause of dysfunctional iron because copper helps control iron in the body. Many enzymes dependent on copper relate directly to the control of iron.

The first enzyme involved with copper converts iron into a less accumulative and less toxic form. Copper also allows you to transport iron through the body. Copper is involved in a powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidation caused by iron!

Glyphosate, antibiotics, high fructose corn syrup, and wheat products can cause copper deficiency. Iron deficiency anemia may really be iron dysfunctional anemia, which is often related to a copper deficiency. Oysters, shellfish, and organ meats are the best food sources of copper.

0:00 Introduction: Common health mistakes to avoid
0:05 #1 Accepting bad health tips and the worst diet advice
1:13 #2 Consuming protein powder
1:48 #3 Treating symptoms alone
2:30 #4 Reducing sodium
3:04 #5 Consuming unsaturated fats
3:38 #6 Avoiding red meat
4:25 #7 Reading nutrition labels

1. Accepting the wrong health advice as fact
Just because someone is a doctor doesn’t mean you should trust them blindly.

2. Depending on protein powder for protein
Protein powder is incomplete compared to animal protein. It doesn’t offer the vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy.

3. Treating symptoms and ignoring the cause
This is the main problem with the medical system. Healthcare practitioners prescribe medication to fix a problem instead of addressing the root cause. This is especially problematic when treating chronic disease because if you get off of the medication, the problem does not go away.

4. Focusing on salt reduction to reduce high blood pressure
Instead of focusing on salt reduction, which will cause weakness and other problems, focus on increasing potassium. Potassium keeps your arteries healthy and flexible.

5. Choosing unsaturated fats over saturated fats
Unsaturated fats like seed oils are highly refined and are in almost every ultra-processed food. Avoid them!

6. Avoiding red meat
Humans have been eating red meat throughout history. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals and should be included in a healthy diet.

7. Only reading nutrition labels
Nutrition facts can be confusing and misleading. You have to read the ingredients! Look for sugar, hidden sugars, seed oils, and starches. Starches are worse on your blood sugar than actual sugar. Many products that contain starches have 0 sugars listed in the nutrition facts.

Here are the top foods that can kill you—No, I’m not talking about sugar this time.

There are obvious foods that can kill you, like refined sugar and carbs—but that’s not what we're going to talk about today.

Today, I’m going to cover six surprising foods that can kill you and a few potential natural antidotes.

The top deadliest foods:

2. Death cap mushroom

3. Korean baby octopus

4. Green potatoes

5. Raw chicken

6. Foods containing cyanide:

It’s best to avoid any of the above at all costs.

If you do somehow consume death cap mushrooms, milk thistle and NAC are two potential antidotes that may help.

Methylene blue is another potential antidote that has been used to help counter cyanide poisoning.

How does your food turn into poop? In this video, I’ll explain the ins and outs of the digestive process to help you better understand the function of your digestive system. If you’re struggling with digestion and gut health, this video is for you.

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

0:00 Introduction: Food digestion explained

Benefits of TUDCA:

How to Fix Your Gut:

Digestion starts in the mouth, where food is broken down and then transferred to the stomach. The highly acidic stomach acid aids in protein digestion.

The valve at the top of the stomach plays a vital role in keeping food in the stomach and preventing it from backing up into the esophagus. Many people think antacids are the solution to acid reflux or heartburn. Diluting stomach acid worsens this problem by inhibiting this valve from closing tightly.

If you have acid reflux, you want to increase the acidity of your stomach. Diluted apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride are effective remedies for this problem.

Ninety percent of all digestion occurs in the small intestine. This is also the location of a leaky gut. Grains, gluten, junk food, refined sugar, and seed oils can cause a leaky gut.

The liver makes bile, which is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. Bile helps break down fats, extract nutrients from fats, and kill pathogens. Bile deficiency symptoms include bloating, burping, vision problems, and gallstones. Bile salts such as TUDCA can help digestion by breaking down cholesterol.

Microbes break down food in the large intestine through fermentation. These microbes comprise 80% of your immune system and help make neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

After your food travels through this intricate assembly line, it becomes stool. Your stool is mostly water and gets its pigment from your red blood cells. The smell is caused by gas from bacteria.

Constipation and diarrhea are usually related to missing microbes. Antibiotics and chemicals like glyphosate can deplete microbes. Fermented foods and the L. reuteri microbe are great ways to increase microbes and improve digestion naturally. Intermittent fasting can also significantly improve digestion.

You could be deficient in magnesium and not even know it! You can’t rely on blood tests to detect a magnesium deficiency. Learn to spot the signs of magnesium deficiency and avoid the most common magnesium mistakes so you don't end up deficient.

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

Chapters:

You can have normal magnesium blood levels and still have a magnesium deficiency! This is because only 1% of magnesium is in your blood! The other 99% is inside your cells.

Common magnesium deficiency symptoms include:

Almonds, spinach, and chocolate contain magnesium, but you would need to consume a lot to meet your requirements!

Gut inflammation can decrease magnesium absorption by 60 to 70%. High-carb diets, alcohol, caffeine, and certain medications can deplete magnesium.

Top-selling magnesium products often have poor absorption and can cause diarrhea. Take magnesium glycinate for the best absorption rate and to avoid the laxative effect.

Magnesium is the master controller of calcium in the body, which is the primary communication signal between cells. Calcium often over-accumulates in the cells, which can lead to cellular damage. Magnesium is vital in regulating excess calcium in the body. It also helps prevent kidney stones.

Calcium causes your muscles to contract, while magnesium causes them to relax. Tight muscles signify too much calcium and not enough magnesium. Magnesium also prevents heart attacks and problems with the heart’s rhythm.

Correcting a magnesium deficiency takes time, and you need to make sure you’re taking enough. You may need 1000 to 1500 mg of magnesium daily to correct a deficiency. People with migraines, chronic pain, mood disorders, and diabetes may need more magnesium.

Vitamin D won't work without magnesium. When you increase your magnesium intake, also increase your vitamin D. Vitamin B1 is also dependent on magnesium. Magnesium is vital in ATP production, so your magnesium intake directly affects your energy levels.

The TOP Remedies to Drain Your Sinuses: ▶️ https://youtu.be/Jp9tahMw4Hk

0:00 Introduction: How to drain your sinuses using acupressure

In practice, I used an incredible acupressure technique to help open the sinuses. Today, I'm going to share how you can do this technique right at home.

If you have sinus congestion or your sinuses aren't draining, you can use this technique to help open your sinuses and breathe better.

Common causes of sinus problems are infections, a fungus growing in your sinuses, or a cheese allergy. If you have a sinus issue, you should avoid cheese and sugar to see if that clears the problem up.

Two of the best natural remedies for sinus congestion and other sinus issues are diluted kimchi juice and Spanish black radish.

Before you use this acupressure technique, check your sinuses by plugging one nostril with your finger and breathing in, and then repeat with the other nostril.

Rate how bad your sinuses are, and then give this acupressure technique a try. After you're done, check and rate your sinuses again—I think you'll notice a huge difference. Watch this video for a full demonstration of how to use acupressure to help open your sinuses.

Check out this inexpensive and simple at-home allergy test!

Video on Pulse rate:

0:00 Introduction: At-home allergy test 

Today I’m going to share a simple DIY allergy test. This is primarily for food allergies that you can't quite determine.

During an allergic reaction, your pulse increases. A pulse oximeter is a great tool to help you check your pulse easily, but you can also check your pulse using your wrist or carotid artery.

How to do a DIY allergy test: 

2. Record what you ate next to your pulse rate

Typically, you could have an allergy if there is a difference between the low and high pulse rates above 16 points. The pulse rate also needs to be above 84.

If you react to a meal, use this test over a few days, eliminating foods one at a time to help you isolate which ingredient is causing a problem.

Which do you think is worse for your health: sugar or omega-6 fatty acids? Find out.

For more details on this topic, check out the full article on the website:

Videos on Sugar:

Omega 3:6 Ratio:

Grass Fed vs. Grass Finished Beef Video:

0:00 Introduction: Sugar vs. omega-6 fatty acids

Today we’re going to discuss which is worse: sugar or seed oils packed with omega-6 fatty acids.

Common seed oils are:

On average, we’re consuming way too many foods high in omega-6 fats. Ideally, a person should consume a 1:1 ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids.

However, the average ratio is 15:1. This imbalance can lead to all kinds of health problems, especially in the cell membranes.

Refined sugar also leads to health issues and is converted to fat, but the extra sugar doesn’t accumulate in the body like omega-6 fatty acids do.

Omega-6 fatty acids (seed oils) lodge into your cells and accumulate in your tissues for 600 days. They are not water-soluble like sugar is and can't be burned off like sugar can.

Both refined oils and refined sugar can deplete important nutrients. While certain whole foods, like fruit, have sugar, they also have nutrients and phytonutrients to help replenish what was lost and provide protection. But seed oils are a highly refined, over-processed part of a seed that doesn’t have any protective factors.

To make seed oils they also use a solvent called hexane to extract the oil from the seed—is it possible some of this solvent could end up in the oil?

Overall, while sugar isn't good for you, omega-6 fatty acids are worse for your health than sugar is.
