The Big Supplement Scam Nobody Talks About

Today, I want to share six delicious homemade salad dressings that are actually good for you. It’s difficult to find healthy salad dressings at the store that don’t contain sugar or oils high in omega-6 fatty acids. The salad dressings I’m going to share have unique health benefits. Of course, salad has a lot of important benefits, but choosing the right salad dressing can take it to the next level. Here’s how to make salad dressing at home. You will use a simple base of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar for each of these salad dressings. Add this base to a 16-ounce jar and keep it in your refrigerator. Each time you have a salad, add a quarter cup to half a cup of this base to a bowl, add your spices, mix it up, and pour it on your salad. Ingredients for the salad dressing base: 1/3 cup (2.5 ounces) extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup (2 ounces) apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) lemon juice Apple cider vinaigrette dressing: 1 tablespoon mustard 1 clove garlic (minced) 1 pinch sea salt 1 dash pepper French-style dressing: 1 teaspoon dried tarragon 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon dried lavender 1 pinch ground pepper Italian-style dressing: 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon crushed garlic 1 pinch crushed red pepper Mediterranean-style dressing: 1 teaspoon dried rosemary 1/2 teaspoon dried mint 1/4 teaspoon sumac 1 pinch sea salt Asian-style dressing: 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger 1/4 teaspoon crushed peppercorn A splash of tamari Indian-style dressing: 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon A pinch of dried cardamom

Today, I want to cover the first sign of magnesium deficiency. Many people don’t get enough magnesium from their diet, not to mention other factors that deplete magnesium. Magnesium is a cofactor involved in 350 enzymes. A cofactor is something that is required by an enzyme to work. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency: • Cramping • Twitching • Arrhythmia • Osteoporosis • Osteomalacia • Insulin resistance • Insomnia • High cortisol • Depression However, the number one symptom of magnesium deficiency is fatigue.

Let’s talk about zinc. Zinc is involved in 300 different enzymes and over 1000 factors related to DNA. Zinc is involved in your sleep cycles, cognitive function, and making neurotransmitters. Having low zinc increases your risk of diabetes. Zinc also makes up an important group of antioxidants involved with your brain, heart, and muscles.

Instead of masking a symptom related to zinc deficiency or any other health issue, it's crucial to get to the deeper problem to help prevent further concerns. Learning how to support a healthy body and avoid health issues or recognize the early stages of one is much more simple than trying to fight a health problem. Side effects of advanced zinc deficiency can include: • Loss of appetite • Necrosis • Ulcers • Hypogonadism • Low testosterone • Thymus atrophy • High cortisol • Muscle loss The organ that is most affected by zinc deficiency is the pancreas.

Let’s talk about Mounjaro. Mounjaro is a similar medication to Ozempic®, but some studies show it may work better. Both of these medications are primarily used for regulating blood sugar levels but have also been found to help with weight loss. Anything that helps improve blood sugar levels will help you lose weight. Potential benefits of Mounjaro include supporting healthy blood sugar levels and weight loss and improving insulin resistance and A1C.

You have to keep taking the medication for it to work. While long-term side effects are unknown, short-term side effects of Mounjaro may include: • Nausea • Vomiting • Diarrhea • Constipation • Gastroparesis • Abdominal pain • Dizziness • Lethargy • Low blood sugar • Kidney disease • Retinopathy There are fantastic natural alternatives to Mounjaro that you can take advantage of long-term.

Let’s talk about biotin for hair and skin. You may have even noticed biotin shampoo for hair loss—does it really work? Biotin is vitamin B7. Biotin is especially important for pregnant women and children. A deficiency of biotin in a pregnant mother could lead to malformations in the growth and development of the child. Biotin acts as a coenzyme in the formation of proteins. There are a lot of different fats and proteins that make up body tissue. It’s a helper enzyme in the formation of myelin, hair, and skin. The microbes in the large intestine make just as much biotin as you get from your diet. But, the majority of biotin you get from your diet is not in a free form—the biotin made by your microbes is. Anything that destroys your microbes, especially antibiotics, can have a negative effect on biotin. The RDA for biotin is not fully agreed upon, and it’s difficult to get biotin from your diet. However, a few foods rich in biotin are egg yolks, liver, kidneys, and certain cheeses. The top causes of biotin deficiency are: • Raw egg whites • The keto diet (causes the demand for biotin to increase) • Anti-seizure medication • Smoking • Alcohol • Lowered stomach acid • Pregnancy or breastfeeding • High amounts of exercise • Age • Genetic issues If you’re experiencing symptoms like keto rash, hair thinning, or hair loss on keto, it could be because of a lack of biotin in the diet. A subclinical deficiency in biotin could lead to thinning hair, hair loss, or skin rashes. However, symptoms of a major biotin deficiency can be more severe. Symptoms of a biotin deficiency: • Alopecia • Eczema • Seizures • Candida • Depression Biotin cream or shampoo can be absorbed through the skin and may be beneficial for a subclinical biotin deficiency. You may also want to include biotin in your diet and even take a supplement form.

There are certain things you need to do before, during, and after your workout—especially as you get older. That's what we're going to cover today. It’s no surprise that there is an association between a lack of exercise and many different health concerns. One of the biggest benefits of exercise is that it increases the mitochondria. Various diseases are related to mitochondrial dysfunction, including cancer. Exercise also increases stem cells, which can turn into just about anything your body needs. Exercise helps reduce stress, balance blood sugar levels, supports sleep, and has many other incredible health benefits. The four variables of exercise: 1. Duration 2. Intensity 3. Recovery 4. Frequency You need to give your body time to recover, not just between workouts but also during workouts. It's important to rest between four to five minutes between each set. This will allow your body to replenish ATP and help you train with maximum power. Intensity is key with exercise. Focus on higher intensity with more sets and lots of recovery. Many of the benefits of exercise also occur one to two days later during sleep. Just a small amount of refined carbs can nullify the benefits of exercise. However, if you have diabetes or insulin resistance and are trying to build muscle on the keto diet, you can increase your carbs to 50 grams per day. The type of carbohydrates you can consume are berries and protein. Other essential tips to increase the benefits from your workouts and support recovery: 1. Do high-intensity interval training (HIIT) 2. Come to a full stop vs. active recovery during HIIT workouts 3. Put more focus on eccentric motions (elongating the muscles) 4. Do contrasting therapy after you exercise 5. Build up to exercising during a fasting state (eat one to two hours after a workout) 6. Consume enough salt and electrolytes (consume electrolyte powder if needed) 7. Consume red meat, eggs, and high-quality cheese 8. Don’t exercise over soreness and focus on sleep instead 9. Take copper before bed to enhance sleep
