The 10 Dangerous Foods RFK Jr. Just BANNED

These foods are promoted as healthy, but after watching this, you’ll never eat them again! Find out about the 7 foods you should never eat. 1. Granola bars Nature Valley granola bars contain bioengineered food ingredients, which means they’re GMO. GMO foods contain glyphosate, an herbicide linked to cancer. Granola bars also contain sugar (probably beet sugar), seed oils, and refined starches. One Nature Valley granola bar serving contains almost 7 teaspoons of sugar! 2. Agave syrup This sweetener is often considered diabetic or keto-friendly because it’s low on the glycemic index. Agave is 85% fructose, which the liver must process. The liver treats fructose the same way as alcohol—like a toxin! 3. Flavored yogurt You probably wouldn’t consider flavored yogurt as junk food because it’s marketed as a healthy, convenient probiotic rich in calcium and protein. At 30 grams of sugar per serving, most flavored yogurts have more sugar than a candy bar! Many probiotics in flavored yogurt won't even survive your stomach acid. Look for whole-fat yogurt, Bulgarian yogurt, or Greek yogurt without the added sugar. Kefir is an even better option and has significantly more friendly bacteria. 4. Non-dairy creamers Non-dairy creamers are often considered a healthy alternative to milk but contain unhealthy ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, and trans fats. Check the ingredients to ensure they don’t contain soy, corn, canola, or cottonseed oil. It’s best to just use regular cream or half-and-half. 5. Soy milk Soy products like soy milk can cause estrogenic effects like the development of breast tissue in men. Soy milk is not really milk at all! 6. Fast-food lettuce Dressings on fast-food salads contain seed oils, trans fats, hidden starches, and high fructose corn syrup. Fast-food lettuce is coated in a preservative called sodium bisulfite and rinsed in a chlorine wash. 7. Puffed cereals/rice cakes A chemist who worked for Quaker studied rats and noticed they would die after being fed puffed cereal.

It’s often thought that only vegans and vegetarians need to worry about vitamin B12 deficiencies, but there are many ways to become deficient in this important nutrient. Vitamin B12 deficiency can decrease your ability to make and repair DNA, increasing your risk for cancer. Vitamin B12 supports the myelin sheaths around your neurons, and a deficiency can cause anemia. Early signs and symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and tingling in the fingertips and toes. Over time, you may notice more symptoms of B12 deficiency, including the following: •Red, swollen, shiny tongue •Mouth ulcers •Out of breath easily •Dizziness if you stand up too quickly •Cognitive problems •Anxiety •Circadian rhythm issues •Depression •Vitiligo If you have a severe B12 deficiency, you may have problems walking, severe muscle weakness, and severe psychiatric problems, such as hallucinations and paranoia. Severe B12 deficiency can also cause permanent, irreversible nerve damage. If you don’t regularly consume animal products, you could become deficient in vitamin B12. Try incorporating vitamin B12 foods such as clams, liver, sardines, red meat, tuna, salmon, grass-fed dairy, and eggs into your diet. If you have low stomach acid, you will have trouble absorbing vitamin B12. A genetic problem known as polymorphism can also interfere with vitamin B12 absorption. If you take vitamin B12 supplements, take the natural form called methylcobalamin. A healthy liver, small intestine, and acidic stomach are vital for vitamin B12 to be absorbed and function properly in the body.

In this podcast, I’m going to share my secret to preventing Lyme disease. Lyme disease is usually treated with antibiotics, which kill not only the bad bacteria but also the good bacteria, lowering the immune system. Some people will develop a resistance to antibiotics, which may result in problems such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune disease after Lyme disease treatment. There are over 900 different species of ticks. Some ticks carry Lyme bacteria, a corkscrew bacteria called a spirochete. These bacteria can penetrate many different tissues and evade your immune system by hiding in tissues without immune cells. A tick bite usually causes redness that could develop into a bull’s eye rash, a common indicator of Lyme disease. Corkscrew bacteria can invade the heart and cause palpitations. They also have a defense mechanism that can keep them alive even after they’ve been engulfed by your immune cells. Spirochetes downgrade your receptors for vitamin D, the most important vitamin of the entire immune system. Vitamin D strengthens your monocytes and makes them more efficient. It also increases antimicrobial peptides that help kill spirochetes. There are 2 main systems of vitamin D. One controls calcium, while the other supports the immune cells, heart, muscles, central nervous system, and intestines. The latter system depends on vitamin D from the sun, your food, and supplements. This vitamin D only lasts for 24 hours in the body. If you suspect you have Lyme disease, you may want to try taking at least 30,000 IU of vitamin D daily, even if you’re taking antibiotics. Anytime you take vitamin D3, you also need adequate magnesium, vitamin K2, and zinc. Japanese knotweed and garlic can also be beneficial for Lyme disease.

Today, we’re going to talk about edema causes and remedies. Swollen legs are often a symptom of edema and are typically blamed on liver, kidney, or heart problems. Did you know that edema and pitting edema can be fixed without a blood thinner or diuretic? Water retention in the lower legs is caused by a problem with the sodium-potassium pumps in your cells. If these pumps aren’t working correctly, water retention outside the cells, known as interstitial fluid retention, will occur. When you have swollen ankles, it’s usually the result of high blood sugar connected to the hemoglobin protein in your blood. This is called glycation, which inhibits the blood cell’s ability to carry nutrition and oxygen throughout the body. Glycated proteins can also block circulation, leading to swollen legs and swollen ankles. High blood sugar causes sodium retention, which also contributes to water retention. Over time, this can affect the nerves in the bottom of the feet, causing numbness and tingling, known as peripheral neuropathy. Even if you don’t yet have diabetes, edema can be caused by high blood sugar. To help eliminate edema, you must ensure you’re getting plenty of potassium, which can be difficult to achieve through diet alone. The average person needs 4700 mg of potassium daily! Avocados, salads, and berries can help you meet this requirement. You also need plenty of magnesium to help eliminate edema. Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and leafy greens are good sources of magnesium. Aim for 420 mg of magnesium daily. High-quality electrolyte powder without hidden sugars can help increase potassium and magnesium intake. Vitamin B1 deficiency is likely behind issues with the sodium-potassium pump. For sugar to be turned into usable energy in the body, you need vitamin B1. Consuming too many refined carbohydrates can cause a vitamin B1 deficiency. Vitamin B1, potassium, and magnesium can help eliminate edema, but you must also eliminate sugar from your diet.

Today, I’m going to share a few natural sciatica pain remedies! The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in the body. It extends from the lower back, down the back of the leg, to the bottom of the foot. Surgery for sciatica can cause side effects like failed back surgery syndrome. Because 90% of sciatica pain will often resolve by itself, invasive procedures are best saved as a last resort. Sciatic pain often gets worse in the winter, which would explain why vitamin D deficiency is a major contributor. If you’re dealing with inflammation, you need high amounts of vitamin D daily. Vitamin D is a potent anti-inflammatory and works similarly to Prednisone without the side effects. It helps to repair the nerves, disc, connective tissue, and muscles involved with sciatica. Magnesium deficiency can also contribute to sciatica because it’s essential for keeping your muscles relaxed. You also need adequate magnesium for vitamin D to work in the body. Vitamin B12 is involved with several aspects of the nervous system and can cause numbness, tingling, and burning pain if you’re deficient. It’s highly anti-inflammatory, and a deficiency can also contribute to sciatica. Most people don't get enough sun, so unless you’re taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D each day, you could end up deficient. If you have sciatica, try upping your dose of vitamin D3 to 20,000 to 30,000 IU daily. Around 800 mg of magnesium each day can be beneficial for sciatica. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, almonds, leafy greens, bone broth, and spinach are good food sources of magnesium. Red meat and other animal products provide plenty of vitamin B12. Try these simple sciatica exercises focused on stretching the fascia to say goodbye to your sciatic nerve pain!

Today, I’m going to show you four easy double chin exercises that can get rid of a turkey neck for good. Because of the typical loose skin, a double chin is often referred to as a turkey neck. If you do these double chin exercises on a regular basis, you will see massive improvement! As we age, we develop loose skin, especially under the neck, which does not get much exercise. There’s a superficial and a deep layer of connective tissue called fascia under the skin on your neck. The muscles and fascia in your neck are responsible for head flexion, chin movement, and jaw movement. The first face exercise works the muscle that pulls the jaw down when you open your mouth. The next exercise, which looks like a frown, activates the superficial fascia. The third exercise creates an elongation and deep stretch of the fascia. The fourth and final exercise allows for head flexion to strengthen and tone the fascia. Remember, If you don't use it, you lose it! Stretching, strengthening, and tightening the fascia with these simple double chin exercises can eliminate a turkey neck!

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about 4 common ingredients found in 99% of all junk foods that can shorten your life. You won’t understand which foods to avoid until you know the ingredients. Hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate, interesterified soybean oil, hydrolyzed corn oil, maltodextrin, dextrose, and dextrin are chemical names for common junk food ingredients. Companies use these names to cause confusion. It’s important to look beyond nutrition facts and read the ingredients because not all calories are the same. Calories from high fructose corn syrup are not the same as fructose from fruit. Synthetic starches differ from the starch found in vegetables, and there’s a big difference between cane sugar and synthetic sugars like glucose syrup. Check the ingredient list and avoid these foods! 1. Sugar 2. Starches 3. Seed oils 4. Refined proteins Soy protein isolates and A1 beta-casein create inflammation and should be avoided. You’ll also want to avoid wheat gluten. Print out my convenient cutout card to keep in your wallet so you’ll know which foods to avoid on the go!

Today, we’re going to talk about some of the common mistakes people make with supplements. 1. People often wonder what time of the day they should take their supplements. Taking your supplements in the morning can give you the energy you need for the day. Avoid taking electrolytes before bed and calcium supplements before eating. Some people benefit from vitamin D supplements in the morning, while some benefit from taking them before bed. 2. Avoid swallowing too many supplements at once! 3. Introduce supplements one at a time to learn what works and doesn’t for your particular health problem. 4. Supplements won’t work if you have a poor diet. Make sure to get enough protein and limit your carbs. 5. Cheap vitamins contain cheap ingredients. Many cheap supplements and daily vitamins contain calcium carbonate, the type of calcium found in cement. They also contain fillers and dyes! Synthetic vitamins, except niacin and benfotiamine, often have side effects and should be avoided. 6. Avoid taking supplements and drugs together at the same time for the same problem. 7. Certain vitamins work synergistically with others, so you have to take those particular supplements together. For example, if you’re taking high doses of vitamin D, you must also take adequate magnesium. Similarly, high doses of zinc over time can cause a copper deficiency. 8. Don’t take advice about supplements from people who don’t know the data. 9. Many people don’t take a high enough dosage of their supplements to see results. You often need to take more than the RDA to produce a therapeutic effect. 10. If you’re a vegan, you must take supplements to prevent deficiencies. Vitamin B12, vitamin D3, omega-3s, iron, zinc, iodine, and calcium are all vital for your health. 11. Use the correct dosage of your supplement to see results. Your paracrine/autocrine system needs about 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily!
