    The 7 Warning Signs of a Zinc Deficiency

    Zinc is the 3rd most important nutrient and is involved with over 200 different enzymes. Zinc allows you to make glutathione, the most powerful antioxidant. It’s highly concentrated in the prostate and helps make sperm and testosterone. Zinc is in the part of the pancreas that produces insulin, and it is also in the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory. Zinc is vital for wound healing, decreasing gastritis, generating collagen, and hair regrowth. Here are 7 common zinc deficiency symptoms: 1. Night blindness 2. Low testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone 3. Diarrhea 4. Acne 5. Alopecia 6. Cataracts 7. Thymus gland shrinkage The thymus is the most important immune gland. It makes the T cells that control and coordinate every aspect of your immune system. T cells help to kill infection and cancer and help prevent autoimmune diseases. Professor Greg Fahy has conducted fascinating research about the anti-aging possibilities that can occur when you restore the thymus gland. If you can regenerate the thymus gland, you may be able to increase your lifespan by decreasing the risk of cancer and infections. In a rat study, a thymus from a younger rat was transplanted into an older rat. The rat experienced an increased lifespan and regrowth of the thymus. Rats given zinc had fully recovered thymus function and improved immune function. Zinc deficiency can be caused by the following: • Aging • Gut issues • Vegan/vegetarian diets • Alcohol • Sugar • Chronic stress • Medications When you take zinc, you should also take copper. Thymus extract can also be beneficial to the thymus gland. DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8582782/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8582786/

    I Will Get Attacked for This...

    Modern medicine is primarily influenced by big pharma and big food. The medical industry is also overspecialized, and nutrition and food therapy training is virtually nonexistent. Check out these 9 common medical industry lies! 1. You don’t need a gallbladder. The gallbladder stores bile salts that help you extract fats from the digestive system. If you don't have a gallbladder, you won’t be able to concentrate bile. 2. Statins have minimal side effects. Statins have major side effects and increase your risk for type 2 diabetes and liver damage. 3. Hypertension is caused by too much salt in the diet. Instead of trying to lower sodium, increase potassium. Focus on adequate potassium intake to support healthy blood pressure levels. 4. Low amounts of vitamin D will fix a deficiency. If you’re low in vitamin D, 600 to 800 IU will not be enough. You need around 10,000 IU every day. 5. Red meat causes cancer. Grass-fed red meat is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. It’s a high-quality protein source and contains all of the B vitamins, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, creatine, l-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, and glutamine. 6. Avoid saturated fats. Unsaturated fats are a much bigger problem. Dangerous seed oils and ultra-processed foods are full of unsaturated fats—not saturated fats. 7. Your weight is causing your health issues. Your weight is a symptom, not the cause of your problems. The root cause of your weight problems and the associated health issues is likely insulin resistance. 8. Plant-based diets are best. Doctors and dieticians often falsely claim that plant-based diets are cleaner. Most fake meat products contain many ultra-processed ingredients. 9. Hypoglycemia is a complication of diabetes. If you have hypoglycemia, you have too much insulin. Instead of focusing on lowering insulin, doctors will advise patients to eat glucose pills or candy if their blood sugars drop too low.

    The BEST and WORST Forms of Magnesium

    Not all magnesium supplements will provide the same benefits! Find out about the best magnesium supplements so you can experience the true benefits of magnesium. Today, I’m going to tell you about the best magnesium supplements and the worst! Magnesium is vital for the following: •Energy production •Vitamin D function •Vitamin K2 function •Preventing kidney stones •Heart health •Blood pressure •Preventing muscle cramps •Preventing migraines •Sleep Magnesium supplements contain different forms of magnesium. Let’s take a look at them, starting with the worst. 1. The worst magnesium - Magnesium oxide is the worst yet most common magnesium supplement. It only has a 4% absorption rate. It’s also very expensive! 2. Magnesium sulfate has a 10% absorption rate and a high laxative effect. It may help relax your muscles superficially. 3. Magnesium orotate has a 15% absorption rate. This form of magnesium can penetrate the cell and increase energy. Magnesium orotate also works as an antioxidant and supports the DNA. 4. Magnesium taurate has a 20% absorption rate and supports heart health, blood pressure, and the nervous system. 5. Magnesium lactate has a 25% absorption rate and is more gentle on the GI system. It supports the cardiovascular system and can improve energy. Magnesium lactate is often used topically, which may be beneficial for your muscles. 6. Magnesium citrate has a 30% absorption rate. It can help prevent kidney stones and is good for cardiovascular issues and blood pressure. It can also help with detoxification. 7. Magnesium malate has a 40% absorption rate. It’s beneficial for chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. 8. Magnesium threonate has a 75% absorption rate. It supports cognitive function and is a good form of magnesium for sleep. 9. The best magnesium - Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable type of magnesium. There are a lot of magnesium glycinate benefits. It’s gentle on the GI system, helps prevent muscle spasms, supports sleep and relaxation, and reduces stress. Magnesium glycinate may help relieve migraines and won’t interfere with other minerals. Consider taking 400 mg of magnesium glycinate each night as a maintenance dose. Double this for a therapeutic dose and take throughout the day.

    Get ALL Your Vitamins in this MEAL

    DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15531486/ Let’s look at the best food sources of the most important vitamins and minerals. When it comes to protein, grass-fed beef, lamb, and goat are the best sources. People often think carrots are high in vitamin A, but they don't contain the active form. Retinol, the active form of vitamin A, is found in liver, fish, cod liver oil, and egg yolk. There are two types of iron: non-heme iron, found in plants, which is not very absorbable, and heme iron, found in liver and red meat. Red meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and liver are all excellent sources of B vitamins. You can get B vitamins from grains, but grains contain phytic acid, which blocks the absorption of trace minerals. Nutritional yeast and sunflower seeds are also good sources of B vitamins. Collagen is a protein that makes up ⅓ of the body's protein. Consuming the skin from meat and fish, bone broth, and organ meats can help supply the body with collagen. Cod liver oil, sardines, and fatty fish help provide vitamin D3, but the sun is the best source. Supplements can be helpful if you can't get enough sunshine. Shellfish, cod, dairy, eggs, sea kelp, and sea salt are the best sources of iodine. Shellfish, organ meat, red meat, and Brazil nuts are the best sources of selenium. Oysters, beef, organ meats, and pumpkin seeds are the best sources of zinc. Fatty fish is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids. You can get ALA from algae, the precursor to omega-3 fatty acids. Fish and dairy contain magnesium, but not very much. Pumpkin seeds, greens, and chocolate are the best food sources. Animal foods are also not the best source of potassium. Consume plenty of greens and avocado to help get potassium. Check out these meal ideas that include foods high in nutrients: •Steak, eggs, salad •Burger, cheese, sauerkraut •Liver, onions, cauliflower •Egg, avocado •Sardines, tomato •Tuna salad with nutritional yeast •Salmon, carrots, Brussels sprouts •Shellfish, mashed cauliflower •Short ribs, cheese, tomato

    You Will NEVER Eat Bread Again after Watching This

    Link to More Bread Recipes Here: https://drbrg.co/3T7xZbd Try this healthy Keto-Friendly Einkorn Bread recipe! ‌Ingredients •1/2 cup Einkorn flour •1 cup almond flour •1/4 cup coconut flour •1/4 cup ground flaxseed •2 teaspoons baking powder •1/2 teaspoon salt •1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum •1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk •4 large eggs •1/4 cup melted butter •1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar •1 teaspoon stevia or erythritol (optional, for a sweeter taste) •1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, for a more savory flavor) Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment. 2. Combine dry ingredients (Einkorn, almond, and coconut flours, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum). Mix until thoroughly combined. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, melted butter, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and sweetener). Ensure the wet ingredients are well blended. 4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture forms a thick batter. Be careful not to overmix. 5. Fold in optional ingredients such as shredded cheese, herbs, or spices. 6. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula to ensure the mixture is evenly distributed. 7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil. 8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. 9. Once the bread has cooled, slice it with a sharp bread knife. Serve it plain, toasted, or with your favorite keto-friendly toppings like avocado, butter, or cheese. Einkorn is an ancient grain that has not been altered in a long time. Einkorn bread doesn’t have quite the same texture or mouthfeel as bread that's high in gluten, but it's close, and very few people have gut reactions to it. Modern grains are very high in phytic acid—a compound that binds with minerals such as zinc, iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium, and copper. Phytic acid is not absorbed in the small intestine, so you won’t be able to absorb the minerals it binds with. Some cultures that consume high amounts of bread have zinc and iron deficiencies because of the phytic acid. In the U.S., bread sometimes contains BVO or potassium bromate, ingredients banned in Europe. Wheat in the U.S. is often dried out with glyphosate, the chemical found in Roundup. Toasting bread creates acrylamide, which may lead to cancer.

    I used to look like this…

    DOWNLOAD THE WALLET CUTOUT CARD HERE: https://bit.ly/3TsJJ8s In this podcast, I’m going to tell you how to reshape your face naturally and get rid of a moon face. One of the most common symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome is a “moon face.” Cushing’s syndrome is characterized by high levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Chronic high cortisol over a period of time can cause fat face syndrome. It can also be caused by the drug Prednisone. Cortisol can redistribute fat to different parts of the body, causing you to store fat in the face and the midsection. Over time, it can cause a hump on the back, red cheeks, thinner legs, and weak muscles in the legs and buttocks. Your cholesterol and lipids may rise, and you’ll start losing potassium and retaining sodium. This sends your blood pressure straight up, vitamin D levels decrease, and your immune system suffers. Cortisol indirectly causes a puffy face by breaking down protein and turning it into glucose. This spikes insulin, a fat-storing hormone. In the presence of too much insulin, you won't be able to lose fat. Carbohydrates, frequent eating, seed oils, nutrient deficiencies, stress, overexercising, and certain medications also trigger insulin. Try these 5 tips to reshape your face. 1. Eat less frequently Cut out the snacks between the meals and do intermittent fasting. This forces your body to use body fat as fuel between meals. 2. Change your diet Cut down your carb intake, specifically avoiding sugar and starch. Print my card cutout that shows you the ingredients to avoid! 3. Increase protein Look for high-quality grass-fed meat such as beef, lamb, or goat. 4. Lower stress levels Go for long walks, exercise, and do physical work. Avoid excessive phone use. 5. Try to get extra sleep Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Even if you wake up early, try to go back to sleep if possible!
