    The Neglected Hormone

    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 0:15 Progesterone benefits 1:37 What causes low progesterone levels? 2:22 Pregnenolone 3:00 Cofactors for pregnenolone 3:54 Factors contributing to hormonal imbalance 6:00 Vitamin D and hormone balance 6:45 How to boost testosterone 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: •Anti-inflammatory •Decreases inflammation in the brain •Increases neurogenesis •Protects against dementia, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's •Anti-depressant effects •Helps increase the production of sperm •Helps maintain muscle mass •Supports the immune system •Prevents the enlargement of the prostate •Helps reduce the risk of breast tissue in men 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. 1. Magnesium Many people are deficient in magnesium. Increasing magnesium can often solve low testosterone. Avocados, leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, or magnesium glycinate supplements are good sources of magnesium. 2. Zinc Zinc can increase testosterone levels. Shellfish, oysters, and red meat are the best sources of zinc. 3. Vitamin B3 Nutritional yeast supplements are the best source of niacin. 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! --- ​ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER HERE: https://drbrg.co/3TdtIE7 DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27241263/ 0:00 Introduction: Is drinking a lot of water healthy? 0:45 Understanding thirst 1:52 Oxytocin explained 2:53 Intermittent drinking 4:10 What happens when you drink too much water? 7:18 Microplastics in water 7:58 Get unfiltered health information by signing up for my newsletter Is it healthy to drink water all day long? Let’s talk about it. Yes, we need water—I’m not against drinking water. But I think we need to rethink the concept of sipping on something constantly. An interesting research paper suggests that thirst triggers oxytocin, the trust and love hormone. This is also a powerful stress-reducing hormone. If you drink something all day long, you may not trigger oxytocin as much as if you waited until your body gave you signals of thirst. We know the importance of eating intermittently, but what about drinking intermittently? We don’t want to reduce the quantity of water we drink, but what if we decrease the frequency we drink? Drinking too much water can dilute your stomach acid and affect your digestion. It can also flush out electrolytes and lead to low sodium levels. A sodium deficiency may cause fatigue, weakness, an increase in adrenaline, and many other health concerns. You need a combination of water and sodium in your diet to really hydrate your body. I think we need to ask ourselves more often whether we’re actually thirsty or not. You may even find your stress goes down a bit if you don’t over-hydrate.

    My Vitamin D Levels STUNK for Decades

    Low vitamin D can put you at risk for cancer, autoimmune diseases, and all sorts of health problems. Find out about the low vitamin D symptoms to look out for and the truth about vitamin D dosage. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) 0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D and inflammation 1:18 Blood vitamin D levels 1:35 Barriers to vitamin D absorption 2:34 How much vitamin D should I take? 3:43 Vitamin D3 research 5:32 What about vitamin D toxicity? 7:27 Vitamin D dosage DATA: https://www.grassrootshealth.net/blog...https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article...https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles...https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17488...https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24494...https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21993... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26305... https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/v... Did you know you could have normal blood vitamin D levels but still have a vitamin D deficiency? Vitamin D resistance interferes with vitamin D levels and vitamin D absorption. Genetic problems, Lyme disease, and certain infections downgrade the vitamin D receptor. A deficiency in zinc, magnesium, or vitamin K2 will inhibit vitamin D function in the body. High cortisol, darker skin, diabetes, obesity, and other health conditions will also affect vitamin D absorption. The RDA for vitamin D is only 600 IU when you actually need 8,895 IU every day! Research has shown that low vitamin D levels increase your risk for viral infections. People with tumors and cancer have been found to have low vitamin D. New research has shown the benefits of vitamin D for autoimmune conditions. Dr. Coimbra from Brazil has used high vitamin D levels to treat patients with autoimmune conditions, and the results have been amazing. Another doctor using high doses of vitamin D3 has over 900 video testimonials of improvement in people with autoimmune diseases. One eye doctor in Germany wrote a book about using high doses of vitamin D3 for glaucoma and other eye-related problems. “The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics 4th Edition” addressed vitamin D resistance and vitamin D dosage of 50,000 IU to up to 500,000 IU! Vitamin D allows you to absorb more calcium, so when you take high doses of vitamin D, make sure you’re not consuming calcium supplements. Take vitamin D with magnesium because it helps regulate calcium. 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. --- ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the best remedy for eyelashes that are falling out—give it a try! DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3686323/ 0:00 Introduction: The best remedy for eyelashes that are falling out 0:10 What causes eyelashes to fall out? 2:32 The #1 remedy for eyelashes that are falling out 3:52 Check out this video on rosacea! Today I’m going to share the best way to grow strong, healthy eyelashes. I’m also going to explain why you could be losing eyelashes. There are tiny mites that live among our friendly bacteria. These mites are neutral—they don’t help us or hurt us. However, an overgrowth of these mites can cause problems. An overgrowth of mites within your eyelashes can cause your eyelashes to fall out. If they overgrow on your skin, they may cause rosacea. These mites are also known to cause alopecia in certain cases. The top medications that are given to people who lose their eyelashes actually kill these mites. However, there are natural alternatives that are antimicrobial and may be beneficial. The best natural remedy to stop the loss of eyelashes and support the growth of eyelashes is a combination of tea tree oil and castor oil. Be very careful not to get these oils in your eyes because they can cause eye irritation. To try this natural remedy for eyelashes: 1. Mix two drops of tea tree oil into one tablespoon of castor oil. 2. Use a cotton swap or Q-tip to very carefully apply a tiny amount to the roots of the upper eyelashes before bed. 3. Leave the oils on overnight. You can apply this every other day for six weeks. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
