    Eliminate Bloating: The Ultimate Solution by Dr. Berg

    Today, I’m going to tell you how to get rid of bloating. After you chew your food, it travels through the esophagus and into the stomach. The stomach is very acidic to break down proteins and kill microbes. Ninety percent of digestion occurs in the small intestine, where bile and secondary bile salts made by your microbes break down your food. The large intestine, small intestine, and pancreas release enzymes to aid digestion. Around 20% of these enzymes are made by your microbes. Bloating is caused by a problem with digestion. The type, amount, and diversity of your gut bacteria directly affect bloating. This often depends on if you’ve taken antibiotics and how much you’ve taken over time. Broad-spectrum antibiotics significantly reduce your microbes, and they do not come back! If you’re missing any of your gut microbes, you’ll experience bloating, gas, burping, constipation, and more. Other chemicals in the environment that mimic antibiotics can also cause a bloated belly. Glyphosate, birth control pills, steroids, anti-depression medications, PPIs, artificial sweeteners, fluoride, and statins can all contribute to bloating. So many people can not properly digest food anymore because they don’t have all of their microbes in sufficient quantities. A high-quality probiotic is a great solution to bloating. Along with probiotics, consume fermented foods regularly, such as kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, and pickles. Apple cider vinegar and kombucha can also help awaken dormant microbes by acidifying their environment. These microbes help support your bile and enzymes, helping you digest food, which takes stress off your organs. SUPER GUT BOOK LINK: https://amzn.to/4dIxTy2 L.

    The Fastest Way to Get Rid of Toenail Fungus

    Treating a fungal infection with medication can cause several side effects, including liver damage! Toenail fungus is often blamed on sweat and can cause other skin infections such as jock itch, athlete’s foot, beard infections, and even scalp infections. When attempting to treat a fungal infection topically, the cream will not penetrate deep enough into the nail to kill the toenail fungus. Toenail fungus can evade your immune system through several mechanisms, including growing slowly, suppressing T cells, and going dormant for long periods of time. The T. rubrum microbe that causes toenail fungus is resistant to UV radiation. When your T cells are healthy and active, it forces this microbe into remission. A cooler, dry environment can also put it into a dormant state. A change in environment, such as pH, temperature, or moisture, can bring it out of remission. A suppressed immune system is the leading cause of a toenail fungal infection. Stress, diabetes, obesity, antibiotics, and a vitamin D deficiency can suppress your immune system and cause toenail fungus to come out of remission. Vitamin D is the most important nutrient for your immune function. Your toenails contain vitamin D receptors, but toenail fungus can downgrade them. Toenail fungus prevention starts with a strong immune system and a hostile environment for toenail fungus. High amounts of vitamin D can help! Consider taking at least 25,000 IU of vitamin D daily to get rid of toenail fungus. Vitamin D strengthens the immune system and addresses toenail fungus at the systemic level. Zinc pyrithione, breathable shoes, and proper foot hygiene can also aid in toenail fungus prevention.

    Here’s My 2 Cents: "Making America Healthy Again"

    RFK has the following goals for healthcare reform in America: 1. Clean up the corruption 2. Get back to science-based evidence 3. End chronic disease He will be actively working against big food companies, big chemical companies, and big pharma, so naturally, he’s getting a lot of pushback. The U. S. spends over 4.1 trillion dollars each year on healthcare, yet we’re at the bottom as far as health. Why? Here's what I think can improve America’s health! 1. Change the institutional foods Prepackaged foods are given to people in nursing homes, prisons, schools, hospitals, and other public institutions. These institutional foods are very low-quality, highly processed foods. The health of the people in these institutions would quickly improve by simply removing the refined sugars, starches, and oils from their diets. 2. Address the subsidized foods Subsidized foods are paid for by taxpayers. Corn, soy, wheat, sugar, and rice are the most highly subsidized foods. Changing the types of foods that are subsidized and investing in small farmers can significantly improve this problem. 3. Changing GRAS “Generally recognized as safe” is a term used by the FDA for products that have been safety tested by their own manufacturers. To avoid conflict of interest, these tests should be conducted by third-party independent companies. 4. Change food fortification Synthetic folic acid and iron fortification of food can cause serious problems for many people. 5. Disallow tax dollars from being used for drugs Every year, 40 billion dollars of taxpayer money is used to pay for medical research to develop new drugs. 6. The rounding rule If a product contains less than .5 grams of an ingredient, it can be rounded down to 0. This is misleading and should be eliminated. People need to be more aware of what's really in their food. Companies also need to be forced to raise the quality of the ingredients in their products. 7. End sun phobia Sun phobia paired with low RDAs for vitamin D is contributing to massive vitamin D deficiency in the population, putting people at risk for disease.

    Feet Gives You WARNING Signs of Underlying Diseases

    Today, we’re going to discuss the connection between your feet and health. The foot receives oxygen and nutrition from the heart through tiny capillaries. The following feet symptoms are also potential signs of diseases. 1. Peripheral neuropathy This shows up as numbness or burning in the feet due to low vitamin B1 (thiamine). Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, may help. 2. Fingers or toes turn blue This can be related to an overactive sympathetic nervous system. This is often treated medically with calcium channel blockers. Magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker and the primary regulator of calcium inside the cells. Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable form of magnesium. 3. Foot cramps Foot cramps and charlie horses in the calves are among the earliest signs of magnesium deficiency. Try taking 400 to 800 mg of magnesium glycinate for several weeks to alleviate foot cramps. 4. Swollen feet Swelling of feet typically involves diabetes and excess sugar in the blood, which causes sodium and water retention. The solution is to remove sugar from the diet. 5. Discoloration of lower legs and feet This is often caused by a circulation problem. Deep vein thrombosis is a condition where you develop clots in the veins of the lower legs. This can cause fluid retention and discoloration of the lower legs and feet. 6. Big toe pain Pain in the big toe is usually a symptom of gout caused by too much uric acid. Decreasing oxalates in the diet can sometimes solve this problem. Magnesium can also help decrease oxalates. Ulcers on the foot can be caused by diabetes. Benfotiamine and a low-carb diet can help mitigate a diabetic or high blood sugar problem. Fungus or jaundice can cause discoloration around the nail bed. Splitting or curving toenails indicate nutritional deficiencies.

    The #1 Anti-Wrinkle Myth

    By 40, we’ve lost around 25% of the collagen in our connective tissue. Certain antibiotics, ultraviolet radiation, high sugar consumption, and poor diet can contribute to collagen breakdown and speed up premature aging. Vitamin D helps protect you against the loss of collagen and premature aging. The most potent stimulus of collagen is exercise. Focus on the plank exercise, eccentric exercises, and sprinting. Not only will these exercises make you look younger, but they’ll also improve the health of the vessels, valves, and tissues around your heart. There are several anti-aging foods that you should add to your diet to prevent premature aging. Adequate vitamin C intake is essential to form collagen. Raw sauerkraut has the highest amount of vitamin C! Vitamin K2 is vital for collagen and keeping your cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and fascia healthy. It also helps give your skin a youthful glow. Liver, egg yolk, and butter are the best food sources of vitamin K2. Magnesium allows your body to make collagen and helps vitamin D prevent its breakdown. Dark chocolate, almonds, and spinach are the best sources of magnesium. Zinc keeps skin youthful and speeds up wound healing. Oysters, red meat, and liver contain the most zinc. Copper is also essential. The best sources are oysters, red meat, shellfish, liver, and dark chocolate. High-quality protein is crucial in keeping you healthy and helping you look younger. Grass-fed beef is the best source. Intermittent fasting can promote autophagy, which has potent anti-aging effects. You must also prioritize sleep to reverse aging and have a youthful glow. Oxytocin is one of the most powerful anti-stress hormones. You can make your own cultivated yogurt product using the microbe L. reuteri to significantly increase this hormone.

    Best Probiotic For Autoimmune Conditions

    An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system attacks its own tissues. It is typically characterized by low regulatory T-cells and high Th17 and Th2 cells. T-reg cells prevent autoimmune diseases by supporting an appropriate immune response. There are natural ways to support your immune system so that it operates at an optimal level. Poor gut health and gut inflammation can block the function of vitamin D3. Without enough vitamin D, T-reg cells do not work properly. The majority of the population is vitamin D-resistant. To support the immune system, you need 8,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily, but even more to overcome resistance. Poor gut health, inflammation, and low vitamin D are a perfect storm for developing an autoimmune condition. B. infantis and L. reuteri are vital for your immune system, but many people don’t have them because these probiotics are very sensitive to antibiotics. These two important microbes help prevent autoimmune diseases, greatly affect T-reg cells, and suppress inflammatory immune cells. L. reuteri helps increase oxytocin, one of the most potent anti-stress hormones. High cortisol levels mean high stress, which suppresses the immune system. The best way to consume l. reuteri is to cultivate it in a dairy product. If you’re low in selenium, you will have higher amounts of inflammatory immune cells. Selenium helps lower Th17, Th2 cells, and auto-antibodies involved in autoimmune disorders. Prolonged fasting can improve your immune system by increasing T-reg cells and creating new stem cells.

    STOP OVERTHINKING 24/7

    Today, I’m going to tell you how to stop overthinking! Overthinking can trigger cortisol, which equals more stress. Stress hormones will continue to stress you out, leaving you trapped in a vicious cycle of anxious thoughts that can be very difficult to break out of. Most of the time, anxiety and overthinking can be fixed by addressing nutritional imbalances, but people are often prescribed SSRIs. These drugs block the reabsorption of serotonin and come with several side effects. They can downgrade the receptor for serotonin, which can cause a major deficiency in serotonin. Drugs, chronic stress, junk food, lack of sun, and vitamin D can deplete your serotonin and dopamine. Many people get the blues during the winter months because of a lack of vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to anxiety and depression. Research has shown that vitamin D may produce the same results as a medication for depression without the side effects! The health of your microbiome directly affects your mental health. The microbes that help increase serotonin are very sensitive to broad-spectrum antibiotics. To stop overthinking and improve your mental health, you’ll want to take at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D each day. You also need the microbes that make serotonin! L. reuteri affects serotonin more than any other microbe, yet over 96% of the population is deficient! The best way to fix this problem is to make your own probiotic yogurt using L. reuteri. This microbe can help decrease anxiety, increase oxytocin, and significantly reduce cortisol. L.

    These Vitamin D Mistakes Are Bad

    Vitamin D is the most important vitamin! It’s a fat-soluble vitamin involved in 10% of our genetics. Vitamin D won’t work unless you have enough magnesium, the second most important nutrient. Magnesium is involved with 300 different enzymes and plays a vital role in regulating excess calcium. Magnesium glycinate supplements have the best absorption rate. The more vitamin D you take, the more magnesium you’ll need. Some negative side effects associated with vitamin D, such as nausea, heart palpitations, muscle cramps, and headaches, are actually symptoms of a magnesium deficiency. Don’t take vitamin D without the important cofactor, vitamin K2. Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium, but you need vitamin K2 to drive it into the bones and teeth to keep it out of the soft tissues. Vitamin K2 is best for calcium buildup. Take 100 mcg of vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3. Zinc is another important cofactor that helps you convert cholesterol into vitamin D. If you’re taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D, you should also take 20 mg of zinc. One of the biggest vitamin D mistakes is not taking enough! You need at least 6,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 every day. Vitamin D2 does not work like vitamin D3. The vitamin D detected in the blood is not the active form. This means you could have normal blood levels of vitamin D but still have vitamin D deficiency. Statins and steroids can inhibit your ability to make vitamin D and its ability to work in your body. The best time to get vitamin D from the sun is between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. DATA: https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0... http://www.vitamindprotocol.com/vitam...
