These 7 dangerous nighttime habits can ruin your sleep and wreak havoc on your health. Stop making these nighttime routine mistakes! Get better sleep tonight by quitting these unhealthy night habits immediately. 0:00 Introduction: Avoid these habits that hurt sleep2:22 Avoiding screens for better sleep 4:28 Alcohol before sleep 8:05 Avoid these before bed10:05 More sleep equals better sleep1. Carbs and sugar before bedGrowth hormone rises at night, but is blunted by a rise in blood sugar. This hormone helps you burn fat, repair tissues, and build muscle mass. A massive blood sugar spike before bed can interfere with your sleep and cause grogginess, fatigue, cravings, and irritability the next day.2. Screens and lights before bedAvoid lights and screens, especially those emitting blue light, for at least 2 hours before bed. Melatonin is suppressed by light. Not only does this powerful antioxidant help you sleep, but it's more important than glutathione for detoxification and DNA repair. Blue light also suppresses deep delta wave sleep and REM sleep. 3. Using alcohol to fall asleep Alcohol tricks your body into falling asleep, but you're not really sleeping: your body is working to detoxify alcohol. Alcohol increases cortisol and adrenaline, and depletes electrolytes. It also depletes vitamin B1, which can cause anxiety and nervous tension the next day. Instead of alcohol, try magnesium glycinate in warm water or kombucha tea.4. Late-night junk food Junk foods typically contain seed oils, which are inflammatory and hard on the gallbladder. If you're craving salty food before bed, try putting a small amount of sea salt in your mouth or adding more salt to your dinner.5. Antihistamines or sleeping pills before bed Sedated, artificial sleep does not leave you feeling rejuvenated and rested in the morning. People often feel less focused with decreased concentration and memory. You may eventually need more of the drug to create the same effect.6. Sleeping next to your cell phoneYour cell phone and charging cable both emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which can negatively impact your brain and sleep cycles. EMFs also interfere with melatonin. Keep your cell phone on airplane mode or away from your body when you're sleeping. 7. Sleep deprivationSleep deprivation can make sleep more difficult in itself. You need at least 7 hours of sleep each night. Try to get to sleep at 10:00 p.m. each night, or 11:00 p.m. at the latest.

One in 4 people is infected with this silent killer disease that's deadlier than the plague. You may even have this infection! Find out about this deadly microbial threat and how to stay healthy so you don't become the next victim. 0:00 Introduction: Infectious disease deadlier than the plague 1:30 Latent infections 2:59 Tuberculosis facts 4:39 Tuberculosis and vitamin D7:38 Immune system function8:20 Sun exposure and infrared rays Many people are infected with a disease that's worse than the plague! The plague killed 200 million people, and in total, this bacterium has killed 1 billion! It's the world's deadliest infectious disease and kills more people than HIV and malaria combined. It kills around 1.3 million people each year, yet you don't hear much about it. Latent infections such as herpes, EBV, CMV, HPV, and Hepatitis B and C are able to go in and out of remission. Today, we're going to talk about the pathogen that gives you tuberculosis.Tuberculosis (TB) doesn't evade the immune system, it invades it. TB hides inside the macrophage, which is responsible for cleaning up bacteria and infections in the body. TB affects more people in the northern hemisphere away from the equator, and its incidence increases in the winter. Older people or those with type 2 diabetes, HIV, or low vitamin D are at an increased risk of an active TB infection. TB blocks the vitamin D receptor, which lowers your immune function. There was an uptick in TB outbreaks in the 80s when sun phobia was promoted. This campaign significantly reduced vitamin D levels by reducing sun exposure. Before the development of antibiotics, people with tuberculosis would go to sanatoriums for fresh air and sunlight exposure. Cod liver oil was also shown to be beneficial for people with tuberculosis infections.The immune system destroys TB with a compound called cathelicidin, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that depends on vitamin D. Not only is the sun vital for vitamin D production, but it also exposes you to infrared light. Infrared reverses mitochondrial damage and can increase vitamin D signaling, further protecting you from a TB infection.

In this Season 14 review (episode 376) Andrea Samadi revisits highlights from her interview with Dr. John Ratey about the science of exercise, nutrition, and social connection for brain health and longevity. The episode explains Peter Attia's rule for foundational fitness, warns against sugar dependence and fat phobia, and presents the three biggest levers for healthy aging: exercise, diet, and social connection, plus practical tips to track and apply these habits. Takeaway: prioritize consistent movement, whole foods, and meaningful connection to boost mood, memory, and overall well-being. On today's episode #376, we review PART 2 of our 2021 interview with Dr. John Ratey and will learn: ✔  3 Science-backed keys to brain health: Exercise, Nutrition and Connection ✔ What is Attia's Rule that allows us to dive deep into diet and nutrition? ✔ Practical Tips for improving consistent movement, our diet and social connection to boost overall well-being and brain health.  Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Episode 376: PART 2 Featuring Dr. John Ratey For today's Episode 376, we continue with PART 2 of our review with Dr. John Ratey, covering the first health staple that we know is scientifically proven to boost our physical and mental health: exercise.  We first met Dr. Ratey on Episode 116[i]  (back in March 2021) on his book “The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain.” Dr. Ratey is also an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an internationally recognized expert in Neuropsychiatry. Dr. Ratey has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and 11 books in 17 languages. You'll notice that around the time of the pandemic, in 2020, our interviews took a turn towards health and wellness, and to stay on track, I created a framework of our Top 5 Health Staples on Episode 87[ii], which eventually evolved into our Top 6 Health Staples.

Eggs have gotten some bad press, but what's the truth? Are eggs bad for you? What about eggs and cholesterol? In this video, find out about the unique nutrition profile of eggs and the benefits of eating 3-4 eggs daily.0:00 Introduction: How many eggs should I eat a day?0:18 Eggs and cholesterol 0:40 Egg benefits 4:26 Egg nutrition7:37 What type of eggs should I eat?8:30 Pasture-raised eggs 10:35 Healthy eating tips Why eat eggs? Eggs are the most absorbable form of protein, which sets them apart from other sources of protein, such as meat and fish. Protein is an essential building block for muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It's vital for repair, hormone and enzyme composition, and can even be used as a fuel source.When you consume animal protein, you can only use 10 to 20 percent for fuel. In comparison, 65% of an egg can be used as fuel! Eggs also contain anti-microbial proteins and have iron and biotin-binding properties.Eggs have all the amino acids, including leucine, which is the key amino acid in muscle building. Eggs are the second-highest source of choline, which prevents a fatty liver and helps make up bile. Choline is also essential for a process called methylation.Eggs contain lutein and zeaxanthin, powerful antioxidants that support the health and function of the retina and brain. They contain phospholipids, which further support the membranes of the brain and other bodily tissues. Eating eggs can even help lower blood pressure!Eggs contain vitamin K2, which helps transport calcium and keep it out of the soft tissues, directing it instead into the teeth and bones. They contain the active form of vitamin A and also contain vitamin D.Approximately 65% of all eggs consumed are conventional, which come from caged chickens. Cage-free is a better option, but it doesn't guarantee the chickens have outdoor access. Organic pasture-raised eggs are the best option.Organic refers to the feed that's given to the chicken, and “vegetarian-fed” does not necessarily mean the egg is better. Conventional eggs come from chickens that are fed GMO corn and soy, so the eggs have a higher omega-6 content. Try pairing your eggs with these healthy foods for the most nutrient absorption:•Arugula•Onions•Black pepper•Tomatoes•Avocado•Olive oil/butter Don't overcook your eggs! If you can't afford organic, pasture-raised eggs, conventional eggs are still a healthy option.

In this episode, we are joined by Prof. Mark Mattson, adjunct professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.  He is also the former chief of the Laboratory of Neurosciences. Mark is a leading voice in intermittent fasting. Vikas and Mark discussed the impacts of Intermittent fasting on brain function, the types of intermittent fasting, the effects of intermittent fasting on neurotransmitters in our brain, and the proper protocol to practice intermittent fasting.Here are some key takeaways:Our bodies need energy, but the evolution from food scarcity to food abundance has made intermittent fasting a relevant concept.Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that depletes the liver glucose stores and makes your body switch to using the stored fat as fuel.For people suffering from diabetes, obesity, and even cancer, intermittent fasting has proven to be an effective method.People with obesity, which is a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 30, are likely to develop dementia & Alzheimer's. Intermittent fasting is proven to aid significant memory improvement.Indians observe fast for religious purposes in India. The scientific truth behind the practice of fasting.Types of Intermittent fasting (16:8, 5:2, alternate fasting), & the right protocol to practice.Difference between good stress & bad stress.

Renee keeps the books for her husband's real estate business, she teaches fitness classes, and she is enjoying being a grandmother to her first granddaughter. The episode delves into Renee's journey with intermittent fasting, driven by menopausal weight gain, and her discovery of intermittent fasting as a sustainable lifestyle. Renee shares her experiences, starting from her initial struggles with weight fluctuations to the positive changes she observed in her body and overall health since adopting an intermittent fasting lifestyle three years ago.Renee recounts the dramatic life events and stressors she has faced, including her son's battle with cancer and its recurrence. Despite these challenges, she found strength and a sense of control through intermittent fasting. Her story emphasizes the power of resilience and community support, and how fasting has helped her maintain stability and well-being during high-stress periods. Additionally, Renee discusses the importance of fitness and how it's intertwined with her fasting journey, offering insights into her exercise routines and the benefits of maintaining muscle mass and bone strength as we age.For those starting with intermittent fasting, Renee advises treating it as a new lifestyle rather than a temporary plan. She emphasizes that even if weight loss seems slow, the internal benefits are significant and transformative. It's vital to remain patient and consistent, knowing that the body is continuously working on improvements that aren't always visible. Her message is one of optimism and encouragement, urging new fasters to stay the course and trust the process for lasting health and wellness benefits.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

You don't need to spend a fortune on infrared devices to get plenty of infrared light. Check out this fascinating interview with Dr. Roger Seheult, an expert on sunlight and vitamin D, as we discuss the powerful health benefits of sunlight. 0:00 Welcome, Dr. Roger Seheult 4:05 The abscopal effect of light 4:58 What does light do in the body? 10:24 Infrared light and nature 12:06 The Green Heart study 13:45 Infrared light and sleep 21:24 Indoor lighting and your healthPlease join me in welcoming Dr. Roger Seheult, quadruple board-certified in internal medicine, pulmonary diseases, critical care medicine, and sleep medicine. Dr. Seheult shares some fascinating new research about the ability of sunlight to penetrate the human body. It's been previously thought that the sun could only penetrate a few centimeters into our bodies, but recent research has shown that it can penetrate the entire body and can even be measured on the other side. Surprisingly, randomized, placebo-controlled studies have shown that light can affect parts of the body that were not exposed to sunlight. This phenomenon is known as the abscopal effect. This means that mitochondria from one part of the body can communicate with each other and upregulate, even if they are not directly exposed to light. Infrared light can stimulate the mitochondria to produce more melatonin, which can reduce oxidative stress. It's not significantly affected by the atmosphere, so you can get it almost any time of the day. UVB light, which you need to make vitamin D, is more abundant when the sun is at its highest.Green trees, leaves, and grass reflect infrared light. To maximize infrared light absorption, head to green spaces where nature can reflect infrared light back to you!The Green Heart study measured the HSCRP, which correlates with the risk of stroke or heart attack, in residents of south Louisville, Kentucky—a region characterized by concrete and a lack of greenery. Approximately 8,000 trees were planted in a 4-square-mile area, and the HSCRP was remeasured. This resulted in a 13% to 20% average drop in HSCRP, which correlates to a 10% to 15% reduction in stroke and heart attack risk, without any changes in diet or exercise.Dr. Seheult also explains that daytime light exposure helps with sleep by supporting the circadian rhythm, while nighttime light exposure can have an opposite effect.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

You can be insulin resistant for 15-20 years before you develop diabetes!Chronic sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance, but seed oils can be equally problematic. Seed oils cause damage to the cell membranes (which contain insulin receptors) and damage to the mitochondria.There is evidence that unsaturated fatty acids can reduce the risk of diabetes, but this is not the case with rancid, oxidized seed oils. These highly refined seed oils are full of toxic byproducts such as aldehydes, which create irreversible damage in the insulin receptor. The average person consumes 25%-30% of their calories from seed oils.You can have high insulin and normal blood sugar for many years. Over time, this overworks the pancreas, causing the beta cells that produce insulin to become overworked and eventually stop producing insulin, leaving the body without a mechanism to regulate blood sugar levels. Normal blood sugar should be around 80, which is equivalent to a single teaspoon of sugar in the blood, even though the average person consumes 81 to 131 teaspoons of sugar every day!If you have diabetes or you want to avoid it, avoid these foods:1.

Cancer prevention starts with the diet. Depending on what you eat, you're either starving cancer or feeding it! Discover the best cancer prevention diet and my expert tips to prevent cancer and support the immune system. Download this FREE guide for the 5 diet strategies for cancer care: https://drbrg.co/4om43oQ0:00 Introduction: The best cancer prevention diet 1:26 Cancer explained2:39 Cancer and your immune system3:30 Starving cancer5:45 Cancer prevention tips 6:39 The best cancer diet11:13 Healthy eating for cancer prevention12:36 Starving cancer with fasting13:27 More cancer prevention tipsTrillions of dollars are spent on cancer research, yet the mortality rates haven't changed in decades. Cancer is a heterogeneous disease, which means there are many different types. Understanding how cancer works is key to cancer prevention. Cancer tends to spread to areas of inflammation and to regions in the body where oxygen is scarce.Cancer is constantly evading your immune system! Vitamin D is essential for the health and proper functioning of your immune system. Cancer cells tend to block the receptors for vitamin D to combat this. It's beneficial to increase your vitamin D levels to penetrate the resistance created by cancer.Understanding which fuel a specific cancer uses is key to starving cancer. The majority of cancers utilize glucose and glutamine as their primary sources of fuel. Some cancers live on lipids and BCAAs, and some can even live on ketones! Cancer is highly adaptive, so effective cancer prevention requires multiple strategies, including diet rotation and intermittent fasting.Different types of cancer require the removal of different foods from the diet. Rotating the diet and removing the fuel that a specific type of cancer needs to survive prevents cancer from growing and taking over. Healthy Keto paired with intermittent fasting is the best diet for cancer prevention. Prolonged fasting is one of the best things you can do if you have cancer. Although some cancers can survive on ketones, ketones from fasting do not feed cancer cells. To prevent cancer and support the immune system, keep your blood levels of vitamin D at around 90-100 ng/mL. Incorporate regular exercise and prioritize both intermittent and prolonged fasting.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

In today's episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down a groundbreaking 2025 systematic review examining intermittent fasting's impact on cardiovascular disease prevention, revealing how modified alternate day fasting and time-restricted eating outperform traditional calorie restriction for reducing blood pressure, blood sugar, and waist circumference. They explore the practical application of "fast cycling"—strategically combining daily 16-18 hour fasts with weekly 24-48 hour extended fasts—to maximize both adherence and metabolic benefits without feeling deprived. The hosts emphasize that these research findings reflect the power of fasting timing itself, independent of strict dietary rules, making this approach more sustainable than traditional dieting. They provide actionable guidance on establishing a consistent fasting baseline while incorporating periodic extended fasts to leverage the cardiometabolic advantages seen in the research. Whether you're looking to prevent cardiovascular disease, break through a weight loss plateau, or simply establish a maintainable fasting lifestyle, this episode delivers the evidence-based framework and practical strategies to make fasting work for your long-term health goals. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

She shares her lifelong struggle with weight despite being sporty and active in her early years. Significant weight gain occurred during a high school exchange in Japan, leading to an ongoing battle with maintaining a healthy weight, exacerbated by knee injuries and surgeries. Joanne explored a few diets, including calorie counting and hypnotherapy, with little success. Her breakthrough came in August 2022, when she discovered intermittent fasting through Gin's book, Delay, Don't Deny, leading to a steady and sustainable weight loss journey. Joanne highlights the psychological and physical benefits she experienced, including improved emotional balance, stronger physical fitness, and the ability to enjoy activities like stick fighting and yoga. Her story also touches on family support and how intermittent fasting has fit seamlessly into her lifestyle. Joanne's advice for newcomers to intermittent fasting is to approach the journey with self-love and patience. It is essential to adopt intermittent fasting for oneself and not others, finding a supportive community can be invaluable. While the weight may not fall off quickly, the non-scale victories and improved well-being are worth the effort. Be kind to yourself, give it time, and remember that persistence is key.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html. Good news!

Pharma meds were never designed to “fix” you.

Pharma meds were never designed to “fix” you. In this video, we'll discuss some of the pharmaceutical industry's secrets, the truth about prescription drugs, and the money-making scheme known as the US healthcare system. In 1938, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act redefined the word “drug,” giving Big Pharma a monopoly over your body. By this new definition, any natural remedy, such as a plant, herb, or food that helps an ailment in some way, can now be classified as a drug.In 1900, there were fewer than 200 diseases. There are now over 17,000! This has allowed disease to become a huge, profitable business. Drug patents are protected and policed by the FDA. This means you can not sell or profit from a natural remedy, even if it's backed by legitimate research, without FDA approval.

Prostate enlargement has become increasingly common in men over 50. In this video, I'll share the best diet for prostate health and the foods you should avoid to prevent or reverse an enlarged prostate. A healthy prostate should be the size of a walnut, but an enlarged prostate can grow to the size of an orange! An enlarged prostate pushes against the bladder, reducing its capacity, which is why one of the most common symptoms of an enlarged prostate is frequent urination at night.One of the most common contributors to an enlarged prostate is insulin resistance. Too much insulin can trigger the hormone IGF-1, which can increase the size of the prostate. Insulin is triggered by the consumption of carbohydrates and frequent eating.The prostate has a lot of vitamin D receptors. Vitamin D regulates the growth of the prostate and helps prevent excessive growth. To increase your vitamin D, get more sun exposure or take at least 20,000 IU of vitamin D daily along with 350 mg of magnesium glycinate.As testosterone decreases, that can sometimes leave you with too much estrogen. DIM is an excellent remedy for hormonal imbalances related to estrogen.One of the most common contributors to an enlarged prostate is insulin resistance. Too much insulin can trigger the hormone IGF-1, which can increase the size of the prostate. Insulin is triggered by the consumption of carbohydrates and frequent eating.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

I'm Elaine, and I'm 59 years old.  I've been fasting for 6 years now, and it still remains the easiest and most effective way of keeping weight off for me.  I'm not one of these people who have been able to lose the initial weight, and never put another pound on - I have had several hiccups along the way, where medication, illness or stress has allowed my weight to rise, and required me to fall back to fasting to get it off again.  But it's always there.  So reliable for me, and I know I'm lucky that my body always responds to IF very quickly.  I lost my job last year, and that was a very stressful period.  Then Julian and I decided to sell our house, but after nine months, it hadn't sold, and both of our stress levels were off the scale.  In June of this year, we decided to rent out our house and buy a boat in the Midlands of the UK.  Even that was stressful - leaving a five-bedroom house for a two-bedroom boat was extraordinarily difficult, but, as always, we got through it.  My weight was up and down like a yo-yo, but now I'm out walking again (my only exercise!), and we're living a relaxed, happy life on the boat.  Winter is about to come, and we think that will be difficult, but I don't mind difficult things under my control; I just hate when other people drive me down a stressful path!   My advice for fasters remains the same from the first time I spoke on Graeme's podcast - don't compare yourself to others because comparison is the thief of joy, we are all individuals, and everyone of us will have a different reactionto something someone else is doing, and live your life - IF shouldn't take the joy from your life, it should add to it because now you look and feel fantastic!!To help Elaine with her amazing charity walk on the Camino, please follow the link below.

She shares her journey from being a strong athlete growing up to her struggles with weight that began during a two-year missions trip in South America, and continued as she experienced post-pregnancy weight gain. Sonja began intermittent fasting in 2020, and had initial success, losing 20 pounds, but the challenges that arose during a family crisis led her to stop fasting consistently for a significant period of time. Finally, in early 2025, she felt ready to resume the IF lifestyle.Sonja talks about the benefits she experienced with intermittent fasting, such as having more energy, fewer UTIs, and improved dental health. Despite the setbacks, when Sonja found her way back to intermittent fasting in early 2025, she rediscovered the numerous non-scale victories that her body greatly enjoyed. She emphasizes how Alternate Day Fasting (ADF) helped her break through a weight loss plateau, offering her greater flexibility and satisfaction by accommodating her social life better.For new intermittent fasters, Sonja advises tapping into resources like Gin's podcasts and books to stay informed and motivated. She highlights the importance of experimenting with different fasting methods to find what fits both physically and emotionally. Most importantly, she encourages listeners to be kind and gracious with themselves during challenging times, knowing that intermittent fasting is a sustainable and flexible lifestyle change that can always be resumed when they're ready.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Big Pharma is freaking out about the recent information RFK Jr. has released to the public. Is there a Tylenol and vaccine link to autism? Is this another instance of medical corruption for Big Pharma profits? Find out now!RFK Jr. is being called everything from irresponsible to anti-science for trying to revive “debunked vaccine myths”. Autism rates have skyrocketed from 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 31, so we need to look at everything!Vaccine safety studies do not compare vaccines to placebos, they compare vaccines to other vaccines!RFK Jr. did not say that Tylenol causes autism, but that it could be a contributing factor that can influence susceptible people to develop autism. He has raised awareness of this link and has called for further research.Tylenol is used for fevers, headaches, pain, menstrual cramps, and more. Most people think it doesn't have many side effects, but it's the leading cause of acute liver failure. Over 80,000 people each year end up in the ER because of too much acetaminophen. Tylenol's active ingredient depletes glutathione and is found in over 600 medications.A fever is a natural immune reaction to an infection, and suppressing this can increase the infection's duration.There are multiple causes of autism. One involves a genetic component with the MTHFR gene, which weakens your ability to detoxify and increases your risk of a folate deficiency.Leucovorin is a synthetic folate derivative recommended for some instances of autism. This medication could be beneficial and may provide optimal results if taken with B12, B2, B6, magnesium, and zinc. One study found that between 56% and 75% of those with autism had a folate deficiency! In another trial, synthetic folate boosted IQs by 25% to 50% compared to the placebo. Independent research is needed to explore the vaccine link to autism. We can't simply squash vaccine controversy by claiming the “science is settled.”Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

0:00 Introduction: How to reverse hair loss naturally 0:47 Hair growth explained1:27 Causes of hair loss4:44 The best way to reverse hair loss8:28 Natural remedies for hair loss10:14 Foods that reverse hair loss Today, I'm going to show you how to reverse hair loss naturally, without damaging side effects. Most hair loss is androgenic, typically resulting in male pattern baldness and thinning hair in women. The hair follicle requires significant oxygen and mitochondria for optimal hair growth. Testosterone decreases with age in both men and women and is replaced by DHT, a more powerful form of testosterone. Many hair regrowth treatments work by inhibiting DHT. Too much DHT can decrease hair growth, reduce oxygen, increase inflammation, and increase scar tissue in the hair follicle. Drugs for hair growth that work by lowering DHT can come with side effects like decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. Beyond age and genetics, the primary driver of DHT is insulin resistance!To reverse hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth, you must support the environment of the hair follicle. Mechanical scalp stimulation is one of the most overlooked yet effective remedies for hair loss, with microneedling being the most effective method. Other natural remedies for hair loss include:•Red light/NIR light•Rosemary oil (natural Rogaine)•Correcting insulin resistance. This FREE mini course can show you how: https://drbrg.co/4pBHk9O•Increase zinc (30-40 mg) and vitamin D (10,000 IU)•Natural 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors: saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, EGCG, peppermint oil, zincDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

He shares his long journey with weight loss and how intermittent fasting transformed his life, helping him lose 60+ pounds, from a high of 265 pounds. Through various trials with different diet methods over the years and even medical prescriptions, James has found intermittent fasting to be the key to achieving his health goals.James delves deep into how he first encountered intermittent fasting over a decade ago. Initially skeptical, his real transformation began around seven to eight years ago when traditional calorie counting and diet attempts failed to yield lasting results. This led him to explore intermittent fasting more seriously. His thorough research into the health benefits related to autophagy, neuroplasticity, and overall metabolic health convinced him to adopt this lifestyle.Throughout James's discussion, he highlights significant improvements in his health metrics, such as reducing his blood pressure and BMI, as well as the challenges he faced from skeptical family members and friends. Despite initial resistance, especially from his wife and children in the medical field, James stood by his commitment to intermittent fasting. He prefers natural and wholesome meals, and keeps his window flexible while also remaining consistent. His success story serves as an inspiration for those facing similar opposition in their health journeys.James's advice for those starting with intermittent fasting is to know your 'why.' Understanding the personal reasons and health goals behind adopting intermittent fasting is crucial for staying committed. He encourages beginners to start with achievable goals, like a 12-hour fast, and gradually extend their fasting windows. James also recommends utilizing resources like Gin's 28-Day Fast Start book to ease into the process and find support in the intermittent fasting community.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Discover why sustainable fasting success requires focusing on the "what" and "why" before the "how," shifting from schedule-focused education to identity transformation coaching, and learn about the explosive growth of complementary medicine (projected $734 billion by 2034) as intermittent fasting leads the metabolic revolution alongside declining rates of smoking and alcohol consumption, concluding with exciting announcements about upcoming challenges and a new book/app combination for 24/7 fasting support. ⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Text us a comment or question!If you've been told that intermittent fasting is the secret to burning fat, balancing hormones, or living longer… you've been sold a myth. In this Monday Mile episode, Coach Kevin and Coach Jess break down the truth behind intermittent fasting - what the science actually shows, why it's not the magic bullet it's made out to be, and what really matters when it comes to losing weight, building muscle, and feeling great after 50. Here's what you'll discover in this quick-hit episode:The two biggest promises of intermittent fasting — and why the research doesn't back them up.The surprising reason fasting may make it harder to hit your protein goals (and why that matters more than you think).The simple 12:12 approach Kevin and Jess recommend if you're curious about fasting — without wrecking your results or your sleep.Why what you eat trumps when you eat every single time (especially if you've struggled to keep weight off in the past).A metabolic red flag most people overlook: what it means if you never wake up hungry. If you've tried fasting before and didn't get the results you hoped for, or you're tired of diet trends that overpromise and underdeliver, this episode will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually works. 

Bio By Chelsea Turner.My Highest Weight was 90 kg (198 pounds) in September 2022.

Most people don't know that you can improve your eyesight naturally. In this fascinating video, I'll show you how to reverse poor eyesight and say goodbye to other eye problems like eye strain, glaucoma, and cataracts.0:00 Introduction: How to restore eyesight naturally 0:45 What causes poor eyesight? 5:29 Other eye problems 7:12 How to reverse vision problems naturally 11:38 Foods for better eyesight Poor eyesight starts with the cones in your eye. Cones are receptors in the eye primarily used for detecting color, daylight, and fine detail. Cones have the most mitochondria-packed cells in the entire retina. Mitochondrial loss related to aging can affect vision.As you age, you might notice the following stages of vision loss:1. Contrast sensitivity loss2. Need more light3. See more glare in the dark4. Age-related macular degeneration—can't see fine detailCataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. This is often related to diet. Glaucoma is characterized by pressure in the eyes. High doses of vitamin D3 have been found to help reverse glaucoma. Your eyes are very sensitive to blood sugar problems, which is why one of the leading causes of blindness is diabetes.

Triple J works for the federal government, he's a minister at his church, and he wears a lot of other hats, as well. Triple J shares his inspiring journey of health transformation through intermittent fasting and lifestyle changes. Starting from a background of spiritual fasting, Triple J faced significant health challenges, including type two diabetes and a high A1C level. Through a combination of keto and intermittent fasting, he successfully lowered his A1C and ultimately came off all medications and put his diabetes into remission. He discusses the importance of clean fasting, listening to his body, and adapting his diet to maintain his health. The conversation also touches on his heart surgery and the ongoing journey of recovery and family legacy. At one point in his journey, Triple J experienced some self-sabotage, and he needed to work through that challenge. He explains how community support has been instrumental in achieving health goals. He emphases the power of mindset and having patience in the process. Triple J highlights the significance of sharing experiences within a supportive community and offers encouragement for those starting their own health journeys. As the episode ends, Triple J tells new intermittent fasters to be patient—with both yourself, and the process.

This FREE guide shows you how: https://drbrg.co/470t2J6The gallbladder is a small sac that sits below the liver with the following important functions:•Bile storage and concentration•Regulation of bile release •Cholesterol regulation•Antimicrobial functions•Hunger and blood sugar control•Detox support •Helps trigger the antioxidant glutathione Bile is vital for the breakdown of fats, so you can absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, E, D, K1, K2, and omega-3 fatty acids. Bile can also help thyroid hormones work more efficiently. Gallbladder removal surgery is often the result of gallbladder stones. Gallstones come from a lack of bile. People are often told the following lies and convinced into gallbladder removal surgery:•There are no other options.•A diseased gallbladder causes gallstones.•You can't prevent gallstones with diet.•Gallbladder removal does not cause complications.•Post-cholecystectomy is controversial.•Gallstones that result from pregnancy require gallbladder removal surgery. Gallstones can be caused by high levels of estrogen, being overweight, and diabetes, but one of the biggest gallbladder stone causes is high insulin!Insulin resistance resulting from chronically high insulin levels can prevent the liver from producing adequate bile and weaken the gallbladder. A low-carb diet and intermittent fasting are the best solutions for gallbladder stones. Your microbes also produce bile, so anything that destroys them can affect bile. Antibiotics and low-fat, low-cholesterol diets increase the risk for gallstones.Fatty fish has the most potent effect on bile production. You can also increase bile with cholesterol foods such as butter, eggs, shellfish, seafood, and liver. Egg yolks and liver are high in choline, a key nutrient vital for bile production. Bitter greens, arugula, radish, celery, and sauerkraut can help make additional bile salts.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

She remembers first being self-conscious about her weight at the age of 7, and that set her on a path of not feeling confident in her body. Despite these struggles, she was always health and fitness focused. Even so, after going through menopause, she found herself at 197 pounds in December of 2023, and she knew she needed to make a change. Watching her parents struggle with both health and mobility later in life made her determined to keep herself strong and healthy, but she lost confidence that she could lose the weight she had put on. In April of 2024, Suzanne was listening to the Fit Strong Women podcast, where she first encountered Gin, who was a guest. Intrigued, she read Fast Feast Repeat immediately, and started fasting. She didn't have confidence that IF would work for her, but by July/August of that year, her clients suddenly started asking her if she was losing weight. That gave her more confidence, and now, a year later, Suzanne is down around 50 pounds. She is no longer on two medications she used to take, and she feels amazing. She shares intermittent fasting with her clients when they are receptive.Suzanne's parting advice to new intermittent fasters: know that it takes time, and understand that you won't feel your best for the first couple of weeks.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.
