Could the root cause of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension really be the same? In this video, I’ll show you how to prevent chronic illness by effectively addressing the root cause, rather than just the symptom.

The right “prompt” to analyze your DNA report:

If you were asking ChatGPT to analyze your DNA from an ancestral mismatch lens, a great prompt would be:

“Based on my genetic report, identify which genes show adaptations to ancestral diets (hunter-gatherer, farming, natural). Then, explain how these same genes may create a mismatch with modern diets and environments. For each, show practical consequences and strategies to thrive today.”

Chapters:

Medicine aims to label a disease and treat the symptoms with medication. Medication comes with side effects, which are then treated with more medication. Focusing on the root cause of health problems could help avoid numerous issues.

Genetics plays a role in disease and immunity, but there’s more to it. Genetics can provide clues about potential health issues we may encounter if our diet and environment are not quite right.

Try these chronic disease prevention tips to overcome genetic predispositions and address the root cause of your health problem:

Check out the best remedy for ADD or ADHD, and find out how to improve attention.

0:00 Introduction: How to improve attention

Let’s talk about attention deficit disorder and what I consider the best remedy for ADD or ADHD.

Some people may have a difficult time transitioning from their medication to this natural remedy for ADD. This transition should be done gradually and with the help of a doctor.

ADD, or ADHD, has nothing to do with someone’s intelligence—we’re talking about a lack of attention and, in some cases, hyperactivity.

Many different things can play into someone having problems with attention, like overstimulation or difficulty in school. There is also a physical component involved when someone has ADD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The brain hogs energy, and it takes a lot of energy in the brain for someone to pay attention to something. If your brain is tired, you won’t be able to concentrate for very long.

Running your brain on ketones can give you energy. Ketones are a cleaner, more efficient fuel source for the brain. The way to feed your brain ketones is to lower your carbohydrates.

Cutting grains out of your diet is essential. Gluten can affect your gut, which could then affect your brain, leading to brain fog.

Here are a few more things that can affect your brain and may cause a short attention span:

The best ways to improve your attention naturally:

Check out this new groundbreaking information on the deeper cause of kidney stones!

DATA:

Today we’re going to talk about what causes kidney stones.

It’s odd that kidney stones even form in the first place, but calcification can occur in many parts of the body.

97.2% of the people with kidney stones in a certain study also had tiny bacteria (nanobacteria) in the kidney stones.

These nanobacteria eat calcium and form bone-like crystal structures—a type of calcium that’s in bone. They’ve also found nanobacteria in calcium deposits in other parts of the body.

The problem is that the immune system has a difficult time detecting nanobacteria because they protect themselves with biofilms. But, the immune system will detect a problem and will trigger an immune response. An immune response can create a lot of inflammation, leading to complications.

Before using any natural remedies to break up biofilms, take TUDCA and have activated charcoal on hand.

VITAMIN D TEST KIT:

Vitamin D is important but confusing. Find out how to boost vitamin D and much more.

0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D levels explained

Today I want to cover what you really need to know about vitamin D.

The RDA for vitamin D is 600 IU for adults under 70 years old. But, the studies that support this amount are outdated.

Vitamin D reaches the cells through vitamin D receptors. Unfortunately, you can’t use blood tests to determine what’s happening in the cells, and various problems can occur with these receptors.

For example, about 30% of the population has a genetic problem with the vitamin D receptor, meaning they have a difficult time getting the vitamin D they need.

Many health conditions are directly related to a problem with the vitamin D receptor, including:

How to increase vitamin D:

When using high doses of vitamin D, always check with your doctor. High doses of vitamin D can increase blood/urine calcium levels resulting in calcium deposits in the kidney. Also drink 2.5 liters of fluids per day, take cofactors with vitamin D (magnesium, K2 and zinc) and have your doctor monitor your PTH, vitamin D blood levels and creatinine and avoid excess calcium supplements of high calcium foods when taking vitamin D levels over 10,000 IUs.

When new research is presented, it’s important to look beyond the headlines. Read the study carefully, see what the researchers are actually comparing, and ask questions like who funded the research.

Eggs contain more than 850 proteins and are one of the richest dietary sources of choline. Just two eggs provide about 300 mg of choline.

Choline is an essential building block for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that supports communication between neurons. Many Alzheimer’s medications work by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine. Eggs also contain lutein, another important nutrient that supports brain health and cognitive health.

Eggs are true brain food, providing high-quality protein, choline, lutein, B vitamins, folate, iodine, selenium, trace minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients support brain health and may play a role in dementia prevention.

By the age of 45, most people need glasses! They're known as corrective lenses, but they don’t actually improve eyesight. Is it possible to improve eyesight naturally? Find out how to improve eyesight and eye health in this video.

Vitamin D3 Highdosage The Alternative to the Previous Therapy of Glaucoma:

Did you know that the more you wear your glasses, the stronger prescription you’ll need?

Contrast sensitivity loss is an eye problem doctors don’t commonly check for. This condition affects the ability to differentiate between shades of grey, causing blurry vision, especially in low light.

Carotenoids are antioxidants that protect the eyes against blue light, chemicals, damage from diabetes, and more. However, as we age, carotenoids decrease, so eye protection also decreases. Full-spectrum light can be helpful but will not solve the problem.

To improve eyesight, you need to increase the efficiency of the retina. Sunlight is vital for eye and retina health. It allows UV and infrared light into the eye and can also help build up the eye’s melatonin.

You can increase carotenoids in the eye by consuming foods with lutein and zeaxanthin. Both carotenoids are found in egg yolks.

If you choose supplements with lutein and zeaxanthin, look for one with at least 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin. Research has shown significant improvement in macular degeneration and contrast sensitivity loss in people who took lutein and zeaxanthin for 12 weeks.

Ophthalmologist Dr. Chris Knobbe stresses the importance of removing seed oils from the diet and moving towards an ancestral diet for improved eyesight and eye health. Fatty fish like salmon contain omega-3s, which support eye health and reduce inflammation. DHA is vital for the brain and retina and is found in fish oil and cod liver oil.

Vitamin D is critical for every part of the eye and can help with conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinopathy. Take at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D every day. Vitamin A is essential, especially for night vision. Zinc can also help!

0:00 Introduction: The worst things for your brain

Today I’m going to share some of the top things that can severely affect your brain.

Top things that negatively affect your brain:

One of the most surprising things on this list is grain-fed animal products. I recently participated in an interesting beef nutrient-density study. This study compared the beef from my farm to grass-fed beef and grain-fed beef, looking at factors that contribute to health and disease.

It turns out that the beef from my farm was significantly higher in phytonutrients and vitamin B3. It also had a fantastic omega-6 fatty acid to omega-3 fatty acid ratio. Not only that, but the beef I sent was low in glycation end-products and homocysteine, which are both harmful to the brain.

Grass-fed beef also did much better than grain-fed beef when looking at these same factors. My beef may have done best because I raise my cattle on pastures with a diversity of weeds for the cows to consume.

Overall, it’s crucial to consume grass-fed, grass-finished beef or 100% grass-fed beef to support your brain and your overall health.

Progesterone is often associated with women, but what about progesterone in men? A hormonal imbalance caused by low progesterone can be just as problematic for men as it is for women. Find out about the importance of progesterone for men in this video.

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

0:00 Progesterone in men

In this video, we’re going to talk about progesterone in men. Progesterone is a precursor for testosterone and helps maintain healthy testosterone levels. Potential progesterone benefits for men include the following:

Cholesterol is the raw material for all steroid hormones in the body. Statins block cholesterol and can inhibit your ability to make important hormones, leading to hormonal imbalance. Sardines, organ meats, fatty meat, and whole milk cheese are the best sources of cholesterol.

Cholesterol is turned into pregnenolone, a “happy” hormone that helps increase other hormones. Pregnenolone is the precursor to progesterone.

These 3 cofactors allow you to turn cholesterol into pregnenolone.

2. Zinc

3. Vitamin B3

Chronic stress, insulin, and endocrine disruptors can interfere with the biochemical pathways that support healthy hormone balance. Alcohol also decreases testosterone.

Inflammation can negatively affect progesterone in men. Vitamin D can indirectly increase progesterone and testosterone by decreasing inflammation. You need at least 10,000 IU per day! If you have low progesterone or low testosterone, you’ll need around 20,000 IU per day.

If you want to boost testosterone, you need to consume quality protein. Grass-fed red meat is the best source. High-intensity interval training and resistance training stimulate the body to make more testosterone. Avoid overtraining!

If you’re making these common magnesium mistakes, they could be the reason your magnesium isn’t working.

Magnesium glycinate dosage doesn’t always reflect the amount of elemental magnesium you’re actually getting from your supplement. It’s critical to understand how to read the label so you can make sure you’re getting the proper dose.

The RDA for magnesium is 310–420 mg, and many clinical trials showing magnesium benefits use dosages around 400–500 mg. If it seems like magnesium isn’t working for you, make sure you’re taking enough.

Magnesium absorption also plays a role. If you’re not absorbing magnesium properly, you won’t experience its full benefits. You need adequate stomach acid to absorb magnesium. Gut inflammation and even genetics can also affect magnesium absorption.

If you’re doing everything right and still not experiencing any magnesium benefits, you may just need to give it more time!
