    4:26 The best castor oil
    4:56 Castor oil for eyelashes

    Castor oil can naturally give your skin a soft, glowing, firm look. It’s the best remedy for wrinkles or dry skin. Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, a penetrating moisturizer for your skin and hair. It also has powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.

    Many skin-related problems are caused by an overgrowth of bacteria, yeast, or fungus. Castor oil is the perfect antidote—you can even use it for acne.

    Castor oil contains vitamin E, which can protect your skin from UV radiation and pollution. It has potent wound-healing properties and can help fade dark spots for an even complexion.

    Castor oil contains beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A, which supports the skin.

    It also contains magnesium and potassium.

    Evidence suggests castor oil can help stimulate collagen synthesis, which is vital for anti-aging. Apply castor oil routinely to scars, stretch marks, and acne scars to help them fade.

    Many people dilute castor oil with other oils, such as coconut or olive oil, because of its thick and sticky texture. It can also be used as is. Take a couple of drops and rub them into your skin, focusing on dry, wrinkled, reddened, or irritated areas.

    Try using castor oil before bed, so it has plenty of time to penetrate the skin. Be careful using castor oil around the pelvic area or abdomen if you’re pregnant, as it can induce labor.

    To use castor oil for hair growth, massage it into your scalp. This can help stimulate hair growth, especially if you have alopecia. You can also rub a few drops through your hair before bed.

    Look for organic, cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil for the best quality and the most benefits. Many people have seen positive effects from Jamaican black castor oil.

    You can also use castor oil for eyelashes! Apply a small amount of castor oil to the root of your eyelashes daily to strengthen and lengthen your eyelashes.

    You don’t have to worry about the toxin in castor oil because it’s eliminated in the manufacturing process.

    6:52 Learn more about how to lower insulin!

    Let’s talk about how to get rid of facial hair if you’re a female.

    The top cause of facial hair in females is PCOS. But, there are other potential causes, including a tumor on the adrenal glands or pituitary gland or Cushing’s syndrome.

    Symptoms of PCOS:

    1. Heavy cycles
    2. No cycles
    3. Acne
    4. Infertility
    5. Insulin resistance

    The top cause of PCOS is high androgens. There is a lot of conflicting information on the internet and various suggestions on how to help improve this condition—but these recommendations can be confusing.

    I believe that excess insulin increases androgens, so high insulin is the root cause of PCOS, which then leads to facial hair. In my opinion, a good solution would be to lower insulin.

    How to lower insulin:

    1. Lower your carb intake
    2. Cut out snacks and decrease the frequency of your meals

  • How to NEVER Form Kidney Stones

    Discover what causes kidney stones and how to prevent them naturally. I'll share 20 proven kidney stone prevention tips to support kidney function. Don’t let kidney stone pain control your life—learn how to stop it before it starts.

    Learn more about the benefits of magnesium with this FREE resource: https://drbrg.co/3VaLwzn0:00 Introduction: How to prevent kidney stones

    1:36 What causes kidney stones?
    1:56 Are conventional kidney stone solutions effective?
    5:00 Number one remedy for preventing kidney stones
    8:41 20 scientifically proven tips for kidney stone prevention

    Kidney stone symptoms can be incredibly painful—I’ve been there myself. After going through my own kidney stone nightmare, I dove deeper into how to prevent kidney stones and lower the risk of kidney disease.

    Most kidney stones are either uric acid or calcium oxalate stones, and they’re closely tied to diet and lifestyle. One often-overlooked kidney stone cause is a magnesium deficiency, which can significantly increase your risk.

    Here’s how magnesium helps prevent kidney stone development:

    •Binds to oxalates
    •Vitamin D co-factor
    •Controls calcium concentrations
    •Helps balance urinary salts and minerals
    •Reduces mineral crystallisation in the kidneys

    In addition to magnesium, several other scientifically proven strategies can help support healthy kidneys and lower the risk of kidney stones.

    These 20 tips can help prevent kidney stones:

    1. Take magnesium glycinate
    2. Drink lemon water
    3. Prioritize leafy green vegetables
    4. Regularly eat pumpkin seeds
    5. Minimize dietary oxalates
    6. Avoid cola and other phosphorus-containing soda drinks
    7. Take vitamin D3 with magnesium
    8. Avoid supplements with calcium carbonate
    9. Drink plenty of fluids
    10. Incorporate potassium-rich foods
    11. Follow a low-carb diet
    12. Eat fermented foods
    13. Avoid high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
    14. Reduce alcohol consumption
    15. Support optimal stomach acid levels
    16. Practice effective stress management
    17. Replenish electrolytes
    18. Avoid overtraining
    19. Talk to your doctor about magnesium-depleting medications
    20. Reduce fluoride exposure

  • Eat JUST Meat for 30 Days?!

    Can you survive on just meat? There are many critics of the carnivore diet, but what’s the truth? In this video, I’ll share the benefits of meat and what happens after only eating meat for 30 days.



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


    0:00 What happens if you only eat meat for 30 days?

    1:35 Meat-only diet results
    2:59 Eliminating grains on the carnivore diet
    4:10 Carnivore diet benefits for insulin resistance
    5:42 Tips for a 30-day carnivore diet

    “Experts” often discredit the carnivore diet by planting seeds of doubt and uncertainty. Claims that the carnivore diet could be dangerous in the long term discourage people from trying it. Amidst claims that a meat-only diet could be dangerous, our current dietary standards leave the population riddled with chronic disease.

    When first starting a meat-only diet, most people lose excess water weight. Your carbs are essentially dropped to zero, so you quickly get into ketosis. A 30-day carnivore diet can also improve gut health and digestion, and boost weight loss.

    Plants and fiber are not the best options for healing the gut. Adding fiber to an inflamed gut will only make matters worse. Plants also do not contain vital amino acids.

    When you go on a 30-day carnivore diet, you stop consuming grains, the source of most of our sugar consumption. Refined starch made from grains will spike your blood sugar even higher than actual sugar. Most grains are genetically modified, sprayed with chemicals, and contain traces of glyphosate, which is classified as an antibiotic.

    When you eliminate sugar and refined grains from the diet, you stop feeding the pathogens in your microbiome. This can starve and eliminate an overgrowth of fungus, candida, and yeast.

    Insulin resistance is primarily caused by the consumption of sugar and starches. You may notice that diseases or symptoms related to insulin resistance will disappear after only eating meat for 30 days.

    As your gut heals and inflammation decreases, you can absorb more vitamin D. Healing your gut also positively affects your brain, improving mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.

    For the best carnivore diet results, consume the whole animal, including bone broth, skin, and organ meats. Incorporating fish, shellfish, and eggs in a 30-day carnivore diet is also beneficial.

  • My #1 GREATEST Health Tip of All Time (Works in SECONDS)

    Try these 11 easy health hacks to improve your health and well-being today. Stop following health fads and try these health hacks that work. From acupressure for pain relief to apple cider vinegar for digestion, these top health hacks don’t cost anything and work within seconds!



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


    Chapters:

    0:00 Introduction: 11 simple health hacks
    0:52 Increase CO2
    1:33 Gallbladder massage
    2:25 Acupressure for pain relief
    4:12 Acupressure points for instant relaxation
    5:43 Apple cider vinegar
    6:23 Joint pain relief
    7:29 Acupressure for headache
    8:30 Sinus relief

    1. Brain fog eraser

    Brain fog is typically the result of a hypoglycemic situation, so increasing your high-quality protein intake is a helpful solution. The best protein source is nutrient-dense red meat.

    2. Increase CO2

    Stress affects breathing and can cause you to take in too much oxygen. Increasing carbon dioxide by breathing through your nose may help with stress and also improve sleep, especially if you’re stressed out.

    3. Gallbladder massage

    To find the gallbladder, press underneath the right rib cage and massage this area. This can help improve digestion and eliminate right shoulder pain.

    4. Acupressure for pain relief

    The best acupressure technique for pain involves finding the mirror location of your pain on the opposite side of the body. Instead of applying pressure to the pain, you’ll apply pressure to this spot.

    5. Fix tight muscles

    Be sure to stretch the muscle opposite of the muscle that’s causing you problems.

    6. Sea salt under the tongue

    This works for weak muscles and can also work for fatigue.

    7. Neck pain relief for instant relaxation

    A relaxed neck is vital for good sleep. For neck pain relief, apply pressure at the base of the hairline for instant relaxation. Apply pressure to this spot for about 2 minutes.

    8. Apple cider vinegar

    Combine 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 3 to 4 ounces of water. Wait about 2 minutes and drink one more! This helps digestion and triggers the pancreas and gallbladder to release digestive juices.

    9. Joint pain relief exercises

    Joint pain typically stems from a problem with your fascia—the connective tissue that covers the entire body. Stretching the fascia on the opposite side of the pain can often provide joint pain relief.

    10. Headache pain relief

    Headaches often stem from past head injuries. Acupressure can provide headache pain relief if you apply pressure around the painful area.

    11. Sinus relief

    Acupressure massage can provide instant relief for any type of breathing problem, such as sleep apnea, a deviated septum, and sinus problems.

    Thank you very much for the survey replies. The survey is not closed.

    YouTube has now banned alternative views on health. Here’s what you need to know about this radical new change.

    0:00 Introduction: New YouTube ban

    0:12 What this new ban means
    6:38 The #1 ranking video for the keto diet
    12:05 What is your opinion?

    YouTube has just banned anything related to health that doesn’t align with the general medical consensus.

    If any information related to health doesn’t agree with the World Health Organization, the video won’t necessarily be taken down, but it may be hard to find.

    This is supposed to protect viewers against misinformation and promote high-quality health information. But, their definition of misinformation is anything that opposes their viewpoint.

    I currently have collected 7,607 success stories—I’m helping people. My information is not misinformation. It’s helpful information.

    Traditional medicine doesn’t work for everyone, and people are looking for inexpensive natural remedies. How are they supposed to find alternative viewpoints or opinions?

    A lot of people are searching for the keto diet. However, many medical professionals don't really understand nutritional ketosis.

    Many times, doctors don’t get training in nutrition or alternatives. Yet these are the people who get to control this information.

    Healthy ketosis is not toxic or dangerous. Ketones are a super fuel and are antioxidants. On the other hand, glucose is dangerous and toxic.

    I would love to get your opinion on this situation. Please click the link above and go through the survey questions to let me know your opinion on this recent radical change of suppressing alternative viewpoints on health.

  • STOP Weighing Yourself (The Scale is Rigged)

    Don’t let scale obsession prevent you from getting healthy and losing weight. Non-scale victories often occur before fat loss. Stop weighing yourself constantly and avoid other common weight-loss mistakes that could be hindering your success. Find out why you might want to ditch the scale in this episode!



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


    chapters:

    0:00 Introduction: 11 reasons to stop weighing yourself

    1:07 Why you shouldn’t weigh yourself
    2:58 Hormones and weight loss
    8:12 Sleep and weight loss
    11:22 Healthy weight-loss tips
    16:36 The best weight-loss advice

    Scale obsession is not helpful for weight loss. The rise in cortisol from scale anxiety alone is enough to stifle your progress!

    Here are 11 reasons why you shouldn’t weigh yourself:

    1. Water weight

    Some people can lose up to 11 pounds of water weight in just 2 days! Initial water weight loss can cause unrealistic expectations. Most people only lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.

    2. Salt

    Salty foods can cause you to retain fluid, especially if you’re consuming them with sugar.

    3. Hormones

    A woman’s menstrual cycle can often cause weight-loss fluctuations of around 3 to 7 pounds. A rise in cortisol can also prevent weight loss.

    4. Location of fat

    The worst type of fat is visceral fat, which accumulates around the organs. If you don’t see weight loss right away, you could be losing some of the more dangerous types of fat first.

    5. Muscle loss or gain

    Losing muscle isn’t healthy! Your weight may be decreasing, but it could also be accompanied by serious side effects. Similarly, muscle weighs more than fat, so you won’t see weight loss if you’re building muscle.

    6. Myxedema

    This type of fat is often found in people with hypothyroidism and is difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise alone.

    7. Poor sleep

    One week of poor sleep can increase insulin resistance! Poor sleep leads to snacking, increased visceral fat, lower testosterone levels, and higher cortisol and stress levels.

    8. Ozempic

    People lose weight with Ozempic, but typically regain it when they discontinue use. Around 20% to 40% of this weight loss is attributed to muscle loss.

    9. Microdamage from exercise

    Overtraining breaks down your muscles. Edema and swelling can cause your weight to increase after exercise.

    10. Medication

    Medications such as calcium channel blockers can cause weight gain.

    11. Constipation

    Fiber intake and constipation can affect the number on the scale.

    Stop weighing yourself and focus on these healthy weight-loss tips instead:

    1. Waist-to-height ratio
    2. Fasting insulin
    3. Appetite decreases
    4. Tiny amounts of carbs can block fat burning
    5. Fix insulin resistance

    Insulin resistance is the root cause of many chronic diseases. Fixing it is the key to getting healthy and losing weight.

  • Sodium Sensitivity is a Potassium Problem

    https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/01.HYP.0000154194.49725.b7

    0:00 Introduction: The dangers of too much sodium

    0:18 Is sodium bad for you?
    0:43 Understanding sodium and potassium
    2:26 How to handle salt sensitivity
    3:58 Learn more about potassium-rich foods!

    Let's talk about salt sensitivity and the dangers of consuming too much salt.

    Consuming too much sodium can lead to certain health problems, including:

    • Heart disease
    • High blood pressure
    • Stroke
    • Edema
    • Increased mortality

    The body tends to hold sodium when a person has a potassium deficiency. You can even have salt sensitivity, which causes you to retain sodium and water. But, again, this could be caused by a potassium deficiency.

    Sodium and potassium work together in the body. The daily requirements for sodium are 2300 mg, but the daily requirements for potassium are 4700 mg. You really need twice as much potassium as sodium.

    Many people aren't consuming enough potassium in their diet but consume a lot of sodium. A genetic problem can also cause some people to be salt sensitive.

    I believe one of the best things you can do for salt sensitivity is to increase your potassium. I don't think a low-salt diet is the answer. You don't want to end up having a potassium deficiency and a sodium deficiency.

    You need sodium and potassium to support the body in many different ways. If you're deficient in these key electrolytes, you could experience arrhythmias, fatigue, and weakness.
