AVOID These 8 Gut Mistakes (They’re Ruining Your Health)

Let’s talk about the potential benefits of taking vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 at the same time. Vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 work closely together. Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of calcium in the small intestines. Vitamin K2 takes calcium from the blood and transports it to the bones and teeth. It also activates a protein that keeps calcium out of the arteries, joints, and other areas of the body where it shouldn’t be. Vitamin K2 has many additional potential benefits, from supporting healthy blood sugar levels to improving wrinkles. Animal fats are a great source of the MK4 version of vitamin K2. A different form of vitamin K2, called MK7, comes from bacteria in foods like cheese and fermented foods. People who cut fatty foods from their diet are at risk for a vitamin K2 deficiency. Foods high in vitamin K2: • Grass-fed butter and ghee • Hard and soft cheeses • Egg yolks • Goose liver, chicken liver, and beef liver • Hot dogs • Salmon If someone chooses to take a vitamin K2 supplement, they may want to consider the MK7 version. For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3, I suggest taking 100 MCG of vitamin K2.

Today, I want to cover the most inflammatory food in the world. There is a lot of debate over what the most inflammatory food is. Some people say meat, while others say it's the fiber in plants. Some people do well consuming fiber, and others don’t. Why? Humans can’t digest fiber. Your microbes are what break down fiber by fermenting it. While fiber is anti-inflammatory, unfermented fiber is inflammatory. If you don’t have enough of the right microbes in your gut, you could have more of an issue with fiber than other people. Certain things like antibiotics, improper nutrition as a child, ultra-processed foods, and glyphosate can alter your microbiome and lead to inflammation. The most inflammatory foods in the world are ultra-processed foods: a basic recipe of sugar, flour, and seed oils with a dash of glyphosate.

Today, I’m going to share how to remove skin tags and warts fast. In some cases, it may take a few days to a few weeks. However, I think you’ll notice a shrinkage in the skin tag or wart each time you apply this natural remedy. Skin tags and warts are growths on the skin that are essentially benign tumors. Benign tumors don’t spread and aren’t cancerous. Skin tags and warts are associated with high levels of estrogen, high insulin levels, and HPV. 95% of the population has HPV. Natural killer cells kill cancer cells and certain viruses. HPV weakens your natural killer cells. Other things that can weaken your natural killer cells are: • Stress • Injury • Trauma • Bereavement • Surgery • Nutrient deficiencies (especially zinc and vitamin D) • Chronic inflammation • Aging The best natural remedy for skin tags and warts: Add one drop of povidone-iodine to a small bowl. Crush one clove of garlic and add one drop of the liquid to the bowl with the iodine. Mix to combine. Use a Q-tip to apply the mixture onto the skin tag or wart, and place a Band-Aid over it. Repeat this every day until the wart or skin tag is gone. There is also a fantastic potential natural remedy for HPV called AHCC. AHCC may help increase the potency of your natural killer cells. It re-establishes the strength of your immune system so your body can clear out the virus. It also strengthens the autonomic nervous system.

Every year, a few times a year, I have a bad reaction to poison ivy. This time, it has affected my eye. Each time I was exposed and had a bad reaction, I was given prednisone. It got to the point where, after I was exposed, the effects of the poison ivy wouldn’t go away after using prednisone. People typically take prednisone for its anti-inflammatory or immune suppressant effects. But prednisone has side effects. Prednisone is a synthetic version of cortisol. Cortisol has benefits. It’s a hormone that helps the immune system and prepares the body for stress. But high cortisol levels can lead to a lot of health concerns. You don’t want to be on prednisone forever. The more you take it, the more it weakens the system. But if you stop taking it, your symptoms may come back. So, why don't we get to the root problem? Keep in mind that once you start taking prednisone, it’s important not to come off of it too fast. Prednisone and cortisol also deplete the body of numerous vitamins and minerals. The best ways to lower cortisol: 1. Lower your stress (do physical work, exercise, spend more time on a hobby, and take certain nutrients) 2. Take ashwagandha 3. Try breathing exercises 4.

Today, I want to introduce you to something called heart rate variability (HRV). HRV is a measurement of the variations between the heartbeats. There are different time distances between your heartbeats. The more varied the timing is between the heartbeats, the healthier a person is, and the higher the HRV is. The less varied the timing is, the less healthy the person is, and the lower the HRV is. HRV measures the autonomic nervous system. It has been well-researched and can help a person understand their ability to adapt to and recover from stress. Many people use this technology to determine whether or not their body can handle the stress of working out on a given day. Maybe they can handle doing high-intensity training one day, but their body would do better with a day off or with low-impact exercise the next. There are many different lifestyle changes you can make to help improve your overall health. HRV technology can help give you feedback to see if what you’re doing is actually benefiting you. It can even tell you your biological age and rate of aging. You really can’t take your health to the next level if you can’t measure it. This is a fantastic and easy-to-use tool to help you do that right at home.

Today, we’re going to talk about the fascinating connection between vitamin D and zinc. Many people don’t realize that zinc is vital to allow vitamin D to work in the body. If you’re deficient in zinc, the vitamin D receptor won’t accept vitamin D. On the flip side, vitamin D allows zinc to be transported through the body. Symptoms of zinc deficiency: • Loss of taste or smell • Low testosterone • Diarrhea • Alopecia • Inflammatory skin problems • Vision problems • Ulcers • Inflammation • Poor immunity • Thymus atrophy Foods rich in zinc: • Oysters • Lobster • Shrimp • Liver • Red meat Causes of a zinc deficiency: • Not consuming foods high in zinc • Consuming phytates (in grains and legumes) • Pregnancy • Sickle cell anemia DATA: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9701158/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...

Today, I want to cover important things you can try to lower your risk for cancer. Cancer originates from normal cells. When something harmful happens in your environment, it can potentially create destruction to the mitochondria in your cells. Damaged mitochondria can no longer provide energy to a cell, and the cell is forced to use a different energy source. Now, we’re looking at a cancer cell. When mitochondria become damaged, and a cell turns into a cancer cell, the cancer cell becomes immortal. It also produces inflammation, and it seems to grow and spread into areas of inflammation. Mitochondria have many more functions than just producing energy. In my opinion, to reduce your risk of cancer, you need to reduce your risk of developing damage to the mitochondria. Natural ways to decrease your cancer risk: 1. Do intermittent and periodic prolonged fasting 2. Exercise 3. Get quality sleep 4. Socialize DATA: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/...
