The Big Supplement Scam Nobody Talks About

Let’s talk about rhodiola. Rhodiola is an adaptogen, which is a type of herb that helps you adapt to stress. It’s been suggested that rhodiola has a really interesting effect of significantly reducing perceived effort after exercise. Rhodiola has a lot of potential benefits and may help with certain issues, including: • Stress • Coughing • Fatigue • Depression • Altitude sickness • Tissue and organ damage from hypoxia Rhodiola may even help support cognitive function as well as improve HRV and angina pain. In one study, people who took rhodiola had more energy after exercise than those who had a placebo. Sleep is a huge factor when it comes to recovery from stress and exercise. It just so happens that rhodiola may help support healthy sleep cycles. One study even suggested that your body may need less sleep to get rejuvenated when taking rhodiola. Rhodiola may also help increase glycogen reserves (stored fuel) and ATP (energy). I don’t believe rhodiola tricks the brain into perceiving less effort. I think it helps increase endurance by increasing efficiency in the body.

Today, we’re going to talk about the carbohydrate that’s more dangerous than sugar: maltodextrin. Of all the ultra-processed food ingredients, I consider this one the worst. Maltodextrin is GMO, refined, and highly processed. It can lead to belly fat, diabetes, and gut inflammation, yet it’s considered safe. Even though maltodextrin is not a sugar and it’s not sweet, it behaves like sugar in the body. It’s also higher than sugar on the glycemic index. Maltodextrin is an ingredient in many different products, from chips to seasonings, supplements, and infant formulas. It’s even in certain drinks like light beer, energy drinks, and sports drinks. Because it’s not classified as a sugar, maltodextrin can also be added to sugar-free products even though it behaves like a sugar. Maltodextrin is a filler ingredient, and there are loopholes that companies can use to legally add it to their products. Other names for maltodextrin are dextrin, modified food starch, glucose syrup, corn starch, food starch, and corn syrup. It’s crucial to start reading the ingredients in your products to avoid dangerous ingredients like maltodextrin. SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER HERE: https://drbrg.co/4a8SkDS

Today, we’re going to talk about sitting and what it’s doing to your fitness level. Fitness makes up just one part of your health. You also have your diet, supplements, and sleep. But you can’t get fit without motion—without exercise. Fitness is an enhanced capacity to survive and adapt to your environment. It’s an extra tool to help you buffer stress more easily, increase flexibility and strength, and look and feel better. On the flip side, a sedentary lifestyle is associated with stress and disease. Sitting for long periods can affect your entire body. If you’re sitting in front of a screen for long periods, your risk for certain health issues goes up even more. How to support your health if you have to sit for long periods: • Take frequent breaks and stretch or exercise • Use lumbar support while driving and a lumbar support device to stretch the lower back before bed • Get a comfortable office chair and continue to move your body as you sit • Get into a hobby that involves motion • Go for long walks and get sunshine • Get something to block the blue light from your computer screen • Get more exercise—try yoga or pilates • Be more aware of EMFs and distance yourself from them • Try a treadmill desk or standing desk

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.
