Heart palpitations don't usually mean heart damage. In this video, I'll uncover the true underlying causes of heart palpitations and share simple heart health tips to address your heart rhythm problems. Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07Heart palpitations and heart rhythm problems are an electrolyte issue. Electrolytes are minerals that allow electricity to travel through the nervous system. Unfortunately, doctors rarely look at electrolytes as part of the problem.A magnesium deficiency is one of the most likely causes of heart palpitations. The majority of people with heart palpitations have normal EKG tests and echocardiogram results. If you have chest pains, fainting, or known heart disease, get these symptoms checked.A skipped or extra heartbeat is known as a heart palpitation. This may cause a strange sensation in your chest, cause you to take a breath, or even cause dizziness. This is caused by an unstable electrical rhythm. This does not mean your heart is failing or that you have any structural failure at all. Calcium causes contraction of the heart muscle. Too much calcium can also cause twitches, cramps, insomnia, and anxiety. Magnesium is the master controller of calcium, and the most important electrolyte for nerve stability. A magnesium deficiency rarely shows up in a blood test. When the demand for magnesium increases, you might experience palpitations. The most common trigger for heart palpitations is stress. Magnesium acts as a buffer to adrenaline and cortisol, so the demand increases when you're stressed. In addition to stress, there are many things that can increase the demand for magnesium, including the following:• Poor sleep• Unstable blood sugar• Hormonal shifts• ExerciseMagnesium excretion can also cause magnesium deficiency, leading to heart palpitations. Caffeine, a low-carb diet, heavy sweating, and alcohol can cause magnesium excretion.Simply not getting enough magnesium from your diet or water source can also contribute to heart palpitations. Salad, chocolate, avocado, and nuts are the best sources of magnesium. When you consume ultra-processed foods that are devoid of nutrition, you deplete magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is a highly absorbable form of magnesium that can help increase GABA and reduce cortisol levels. Start with 400 mg of magnesium daily and increase if necessary. When taking more than 400 mg, spread your doses throughout the day.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Dr. Ricklefs-Johnson talks about bone health and the cardiovascular health benefits of cheese. Calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins D, K, and B12 are all important for bone health, and cheese is a good source of each. In the past, saturated fat in cheese would have been demonized, but research is finding that saturated fat isn't created equally across all food types, and cheese has many unique fatty acids. Cheese consumption is associated with reduced risks of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Cheese contains bioactive peptides that appear to help lower blood pressure. (4:18) The panel discusses the mechanisms of action of cheese consumption on cardiovascular health, how much cheese is recommended daily, and whether different cheeses have different health benefits. Dr. Ricklefs-Johnson explains that the protein in cheese is primarily in the form of casein, rather than whey. Casein had been less utilized as it was thought harder to digest, but more research is showing the benefits of casein in muscle recovery and helping with sleep. (8:27) Research supports that calcium from cow milk sources is more bioavailable compared to supplements or fortified calcium in plant milks. Cheese is also unique as a dairy food that contains vitamin K, which works in conjunction with vitamin D and calcium for maintaining bone mass. (15:07) The panel visits about some of the other presentations at the symposium, including feeding cows to influence vitamin K or fatty acids in the milk and how to get the word out about the health benefits of cheese.

Kidney stones form when minerals in urine crystallize and clump together. Among all types, calcium oxalate stones are the most common Calcium oxalate stones were long thought to result solely from physical and chemical processes, but a recent study found that bacteria are embedded inside them These bacteria form dense biofilms within the stone, creating sticky structures that give crystals more places to attach, helping the stone form and grow A separate study showed that kidneys host their own microbiome, where certain bacteria promote stone formation while others help limit crystal growth within kidney tissue Simple steps like staying hydrated, moderating oxalates, reducing seed oils, moving more, and avoiding unnecessary antibiotics can help lower stone risk while supporting kidney microbial health

What if your “quick shock” could bleach a liner, stain a step, or even trigger an explosive reaction in your feeder? We take a hard, practical look at calcium hypochlorite—cal hypo—and share how pros use it for powerful oxidation without piling on cyanuric acid. From real-world dosing to regional water chemistry, we map the choices that keep your pool clean and your surfaces safe.We start with clarity on strength: why 73 to 78 percent cal hypo nearly matches a gallon of 12.5 percent liquid chlorine by output, and when that field rule of thumb—one pound to one gallon—makes sense. Then we get into the must-know risks: never mix cal hypo with trichlor or dichlor, don't drop it on vinyl or colored fiberglass, and watch for copper-driven black stains on plaster when oxidation hits metals. You'll learn how much calcium cal hypo adds, why pH temporarily rises, and how to think about LSI and regional hardness whether you're in Southern California's high-calcium zones or softer-water parts of Florida and Texas.Because cal hypo is unstabilized chlorine, we set clear CYA targets—50 to 70 ppm—to protect it from UV burn-off. We compare cal hypo tablets to trichlor tabs, explain why they're not one-to-one replacements, and detail the flow and temperature realities that make tabs dissolve too fast in hot markets. You'll hear practical tactics: when to feed through the skimmer during a long run cycle, how to place broken tabs on stubborn algae in pebble or on step corners, and when to stage 25 or 50 pound buckets at the pad for easy, consistent care without hauling heavy jugs.• comparing cal hypo strength to 12.5 percent liquid chlorine• why mixing with trichlor or dichlor is dangerous• calcium increase, pH impact, and regional hardness• safe application by surface: vinyl, fiberglass, plaster, pebble• metals and black staining risk with strong oxidation• unstabilized chlorine strategy and ideal CYA levels• cal hypo tablets vs trichlor tablets, feeders, and heat effects• pro tips for algae on steps and in pebble crevices• stockSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In this episode of Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Dr. John Osborne, board-certified cardiologist, lipidologist, and founder of Clear Cardio, to challenge conventional thinking around cholesterol and heart disease. Dr. Osborne explains why LDL cholesterol alone is not a reliable standalone marker for cardiovascular disease and why focusing only on traditional lab numbers can create a false sense of security. He shares how plaque can quietly develop for decades before symptoms appear — and why the first symptom for many people is a heart attack or sudden cardiac event. The conversation explores the evolution of cardiac imaging, the role of ApoB and lipoprotein(a) in risk assessment, and how advanced cardiac CT combined with artificial intelligence now allows physicians to detect, measure, and track plaque in ways that were previously impossible. This episode reframes heart disease as something that can be identified early — and potentially prevented — when the right tools are used. What We Talk About in This Episode Why LDL cholesterol alone does not tell the full story The difference between risk factors and actual disease How ApoB improves cardiovascular risk assessment Why lipoprotein(a) is genetic and should be tested at least once The limits of traditional stress testing How plaque forms in the arterial wall decades before symptoms Calcium scoring versus full cardiac CT imaging How AI is transforming plaque detection and measurement Whether arterial plaque can be slowed or reversed The real role of statins and other cholesterol-lowering tools Why you cannot out-train genetics The one scan adults over 40 should consider Quotes from This Episode Cholesterol floating in your bloodstream does not tell me if it is sticking. Risk is not disease. The first question should be: do you have plaque? Half of men and two-thirds of women, their first symptom of heart disease is a heart attack or death. The problem is not that we cannot treat plaque. The problem is that we are not looking for it early enough. Early detection for heart disease should be as routine as screening for cancer.

Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor with Miles Hassell, MD

Calcium supplements are everywhere—but do they actually help your bones? In this episode, we unpack the "calcium conundrum" and challenge the common belief that more supplements automatically mean stronger bones. You'll learn why food-based calcium behaves very differently in the body than pharmaceutical calcium supplements, why most studies show little to no benefit of supplements for adult bone health, and how supplements may even carry unexpected health risks. We focus especially on bone health in adults and postmenopausal women, while emphasizing practical, food-first strategies that actually support long-term health. If you're concerned about osteoporosis, fractures, or bone density—and want to make informed, evidence-based choices—this episode will help you rethink calcium from the ground up. Learn why food, not pills, should be your foundation for bone health. Subscribe for more conversations on nutrition, disease prevention, and putting the power of health back in your hands. Key Takeaways Calcium supplements ≠ food calcium Pharmaceutical calcium is metabolized differently and does not offer the same benefits as calcium from whole foods. Most adult studies show supplements don't prevent fractures In typical adult populations, calcium supplements generally fail to improve bone density or reduce fracture risk. Food sources of calcium are safer and more effective Calcium-rich foods support bone health without the cardiovascular, kidney stone, or other risks linked to supplements. Absorption matters more than intake Only 10–50% of dietary calcium is absorbed, depending on diet quality, gut health, medications, activity level, and overall lifestyle. Postmenopausal bone loss isn't just about calcium Bone loss during this stage appears to be largely unrelated to calcium intake alone. Dairy and non-dairy options make adequacy achievable It's not hard to reach ~800–1200 mg/day from food alone, even without supplements. Cultured dairy is preferred Yogurt, kefir, and aged cheeses provide calcium plus beneficial cofactors like protein, vitamin K, and healthy fats. Fortified foods aren't the same as real food Calcium-fortified products still deliver industrial calcium, not naturally integrated nutrients. Supplements can distract from better nutrition Relying on pills may pull focus (and money) away from improving overall diet quality. Bottom line: think food first Your body knows how to handle real food—bone health starts there. This episode is a call to lead your own healthcare journey with humility, curiosity, and intention—so you can make decisions that truly align with your values and goals.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Will: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for giving us the opportunity to ask you questions. I've learned so much from other people's questions! I have two of my own. 1. Regarding your past podcast on the importance of broccoli and garlic. I travel a lot for work. When I travel and can't get broccoli or garlic, would it be ok to take a broccoli and garlic supplement. ? 2. I recently purchased the equililife mushroom supplement. Do you recommend taking it all year round or just in the winter. Thanks so much! Will   Carol: Dr Cabral, I would like to start by thanking you for all the information you freely give. I've been listening to your podcast almost since it started and I have been able to make positive changes in my life and my family's. I am a healthy, active 62 year old woman. I walk 5 to 10 miles most days. I do strength training 3 to 5 times a week plus cardio a couple days a week. Through diet and exercise I have been able to maintain my weight most of my adult life. If my weight started to go up I would make adjustments in my diet (which was usually from getting sloppy with my diet). Since 2017 I've done your detox at least 3 times a year (I just haven't been able to swing 4), and they usually help me lose the few pounds I gained and put me back on track with my eating. For the last few years, however, my weight has been creeping up higher and nothing (not even the detoxes) have helped me lose the added weight. I've tried everything I could think of, but my weight continues to go up instead of down. I went through menopause 10 years ago. I'm at a loss at what to do, but I definitely don't want to continue to gain weight. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you, Carol                                                                                                                                                                                  Mohamed: Good morning to you Doctor Cabral and all the listeners. Grateful for all that you do. My question is regarding a sort of pinch like feeling on my left side (near heart). On and off randomly.. did blood work and EKG (normal findings). Ran minerals and Metals.. on the higher side for K & N.. Mg green and Calcium (leaning towards high). Other minerals were low, except phosphorus (slightly high) Noticing bloating after meals.. could leaky gut be related to the occasional pinch feeling I get… it's either that or cortisol.. Which lab should I run (can only do 1).. Taking Omega3 support, DNS, Magnesium and exercising twice a week.. I'm a 27 year old man. Noticing new onset fatigue, bloating.. A bit worried about my heart.. thanks.. What can help, proteolytic enzymes, Apple cider Vinegar before meals. Or B vitamins. Thoughts?    Cheryl: Morning, My 73 year old dad has type 2 diabetes. He is otherwise in good health, an active golfer, is about 165lbs and walks daily. My parents are old school and believe everything the dr says. Recently, his dr just uped his metformin to 2x a day from 1x and put him on a pill for his A1C. I am annoyed that the meds are just increased instead of looking at the root cause. They recently saw a dietician who said it is not reversable which I know is not at all true. My mom cooks healthy meals but my dad does have a sweet tooth. When he wants something sweet it is often sugar/free which is terrible and full of chemicals. I do not agree with all of the sugar free stuff/sweetners and try go get them to choose different things-monkfruit/coconut sugar but the dietician recommended the splenda type stuff. would love to help my dad reverse this. Any suggestions where to start would be appreciated. Thank you:)    Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for the amazing work that you do! My 80 year old mother has been experiencing consistent burning mouth syndrome for the past 12 years. She had tried all the conventional methods, gabapentin, CT scan etc and nothing has helped. I recently read that the drop in estrogen during menopause could be the cause. What do you think and any recommendations?

The exploration of these topics provides valuable learning, particularly for medical students aiming to expand their breadth of knowledge. **Calcium, Mitochondria, and Pain** In managing complex pain syndromes, understanding the cellular pathways involved is crucial. Calcium ions play a pivotal role in cellular activities, signaling mitochondria to produce ATP. However, an excess of calcium can be detrimental, leading to cellular death. This is an important consideration in conditions like post-exercise malaise, often misunderstood to be related to calcium levels in mitochondria. Understanding these cellular mechanisms helps in formulating treatment paradigms that do not exacerbate conditions. **The Role of FSM in Pain Management** FSM offers a transformative approach in managing conditions that resist conventional treatments. It operates using specific frequencies to target different tissues and pathological processes without physical contact, thus ruling out placebo effects. As practitioners explore this modality, they must develop proficiency in hypothesizing and testing different frequencies to determine their effectiveness in individual cases. **Case Exploration: Treating CRPS** For instance, a patient with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) underwent extensive treatments involving FSM. The patient's history included multiple surgeries and persistent pain that conventional therapies failed to address. By determining that the pain couldn't be traced to common neurological pathways, FSM was employed to address underlying issues such as increased muscle tone and central nervous system involvement. The outcome was a significant reduction in pain, demonstrating the potential of FSM in chronic pain management. Such cases highlight the importance of critical thinking in diagnosing and treating based on individual symptoms rather than predetermined labels. **Hydrocephalus, Balance, and Developmental Concerns** Hydrocephalus presents unique treatment challenges, especially in pediatric cases where development is ongoing. Post-surgical outcomes such as balance issues and developmental delays require attentive management. FSM offers potential adjunctive support by addressing central nervous system function, aiming to enhance developmental milestones and motor skills. However, medical professionals must carefully assess each case to tailor treatments that best support individual needs. **Integration and Critical Thinking in Treatment** The podcast emphasizes the necessity of integrating clinical experiences with theoretical knowledge. Practitioners must engage in continuous learning and maintain an openness to reevaluating treatment strategies based on new evidence. Collaborative exploration among medical professionals fosters deeper understanding and innovation in treatment methodologies.

In the Real Science Exchange Legacy Series, we celebrate the pioneers who have shaped the dairy industry. In this episode, we honor Dr. Don Beitz, a distinguished professor at Iowa State University. At the 2025 ADSA Annual Meeting, a symposium was held titled “Donald C. Beitz Recognition Symposium: 50-Plus Years of Dairy Science Research.” The guests on this episode, all former graduate students of Dr. Beitz, were speakers at the event. Join us as we explore Dr. Beitz's contributions and enduring impact on our industry. Panelists introduce themselves and how they met Dr. Beitz. Tricky MS and PhD exam questions are also shared. Panelists emphasize Dr. Beitz's love for biochemistry, teaching, and collaboration. (1:17)Dr. Beitz shares about his early life, academic career, and family. (11:45)Dr. Goff's symposium presentation focused on Dr. Beitz and colleagues' contribution to our understanding of transition cow hypocalcemia. He talks about studies on low calcium diets, investigating the metabolic pathways of vitamin D, and low phosphorus diets. Dr. Beitz also studied the impact of vitamin D on meat tenderness. (22:37)Dr. Nelson's presentation detailed the advances in understanding bovine immunology from the work of Don Beitz and his colleagues. From the milk fever vitamin D research, it was also discovered that vitamin D had an impact on the immune system, which led to further work with vitamin A and immunity as well. Dr. Beitz also had students investigate calf growth rate influence on immune system development as well as Johne's disease. (27:22)Dr. Drackley focused on Dr. Beitz's work in understanding fatty liver and ketosis. The transition period was of interest to Dr. Beitz, which is reflected not only in his work in hypocalcemia, but also the lipid and carbohydrate metabolism of ketosis. Dr. Beitz and his colleague, Dr. Young, developed a successful ketosis model using a slight feed restriction and supplementing a ketone body precursor, which was used to investigate ketosis and fatty liver. (30:25)Dr. VandeHaar spoke about Dr. Beitz's passion for research and teaching in dairy science, biochemistry, and life. He emphasized the depth and breadth of Dr. Beitz's work and teaching. He shared that Dr. Beitz has served as major professor for around 107 graduate students and has taught biochemistry to over 16,000 students. (35:02)The panelists share stories about Dr. Beitz's humility, care and support for students, and the many different professional societies he has been involved in over his career.

Forget the old rule that outdoor pools must live at 7.4 pH. We dig into why cyanuric acid, not pH, is the dominant force behind chlorine strength in the sun, and how reframing your strategy around the FC-to-CYA ratio can reduce algae, cut costs, and protect your surfaces. With insights from industry committee work and modeling, we explain why a 20:1 CYA-to-free chlorine ceiling matters, why 30–50 ppm CYA often hits the sweet spot, and how to choose targets that keep chlorine working without drifting into overstabilized territory.We also tackle a costly habit: aggressive acid dosing. Most techs are using far more acid than needed to move from 8.0 to 7.5, and that overcorrection hammers the Langelier Saturation Index, etches plaster, and invites oxidation. We walk through accurate acid calculations, the importance of pre-dilution, and circulation techniques that avoid “acid plunges” to the floor. Along the way, we separate the roles of pH and alkalinity, show how alkalinity drives acid demand, and spotlight calcium hardness as the quiet anchor that stabilizes LSI so your system doesn't whiplash week to week.Finally, we compare outdoor and indoor realities. Without CYA, indoor pools follow the classic rule where pH directly sets chlorine strength. Outdoors, stabilizer changes the game—so stop chasing numbers that don't deliver. The payoff is fewer algae battles, stronger sanitation, and longer-lasting surfaces through a measured, data-first approach. If this perspective helps, subscribe, share the show with a colleague, and leave a quick review so more pros can rethink their chemistry playbook.• Why eye pH claims mislead• How CYA binds chlorine and alters strength• The 20:1 CYA-to-free chlorine ceiling• Targeting 30–50 ppm CYA for balance• Acid overuse, LSI crashes, and surface damage• Pre-diluting acid and correct dosing amounts• Alkalinity as buffer and its components• Calcium hardness as the quiet LSI anchor• Indoor pools without CYA follow classic pH rules• Why pH “bounce” often comes from bad aciSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

The human heart is a tireless biomechanical marvel—an exquisitely engineered pump powered by both mechanical precision and an intrinsic electrical system, beating over 100,000 times a day to sustain life. But like any machine, despite having an electrical mind of its own, it is not infallible—when its rhythm drifts or its mechanics strain, the impact is felt far beyond the chest. From more complex cases like heart failure and detrimental arrhythmias to the more-known feared heart attack caused by high cholesterol, it leads to questions — What can we do to safeguard the health of our heart? What should one do when they experience chest pain? And how do we learn to listen to the heart's warning signs before they become life-altering events?In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Diala Steitieh, MD, a board-certified cardiologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine, focusing on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and sports cardiology, based in New York City.Dr. Steitieh received her MD from Weill Cornell Medicine in Qatar and completed her Internal Medicine Residency and Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College. Currently, Dr. Steitieh serves as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine and Principal Investigator of clinical studies at Weill Cornell Medical College and the Director of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Program in the Division of Cardiology at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.Dr. Steitieh has been featured on Yahoo!, SELF Magazine, Qatar Tribune, MSN, TCTMD, and The Peninsula Qatar.Follow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz (Host): Instagram, YouTube

Calcium supplements were long feared to increase dementia risk, but new long-term research found no connection between calcium use and cognitive decline, even among women with heart disease or prior strokes The 14.5-year study published in The Lancet Regional Health showed that calcium carbonate supplements did not raise dementia-related hospitalizations or deaths, dispelling decades of concern about vascular calcification or brain damage Your brain and bones rely on nutrient synergy — calcium works best when paired with magnesium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2, which ensure calcium strengthens bones instead of depositing in arteries or soft tissue Keeping your calcium-to-phosphorus ratio near 1:1 is key for both skeletal and cognitive health, since excessive phosphorus from processed foods, soda and meat-heavy diets forces calcium out of bones and contributes to arterial calcification The safest way to protect your brain and bones is through whole-food calcium sources such as raw grass fed cheese, yogurt, and eggshell powder, paired with balanced sun exposure and nutrient cofactors that keep calcium working where it should
