Karen discusses her journey to intermittent fasting which began last year after an alarming weigh-in at her doctor's appointment revealed she weighed 209 pounds. Prior to this, Karen had always been naturally slim due to a high metabolism, but menopause brought changes to her body that led to significant weight gain over time. Determined to make a change, Karen initiated her own strict diet plan, but soon realized she needed a more sustainable approach, leading her to discover intermittent fasting.Karen highlights the impact of menopause on her weight and shares how she initially attempted calorie counting and low carb eating to tackle her weight gain. However, the turning point came when she discovered Gin's book, Fast Feast Repeat, which opened her eyes to the importance of her body's insulin response and the hormonal aspects of hunger and satiety. This insight led her to embrace intermittent fasting wholeheartedly, integrating it with a focus on whole, healthy foods, which brought about remarkable changes in her health and well-being.Nine months into her intermittent fasting journey, Karen proudly shares that she has lost a total of 49 pounds and feels rejuvenated. Her eating window is typically from noon or 1 PM to 6 PM, and she follows an 18:6 schedule to maintain her weight. Karen has reintroduced carbs like home baked sourdough bread into her diet, and enjoys the occasional treat, balancing her diet to enjoy both health and indulgence.Karen's advice to listeners is to stay curious and open to learning throughout their intermittent fasting journey. She emphasizes the importance of asking questions, absorbing as much information as possible, and taking progress pictures to capture the remarkable changes. This mindset, alongside her excitement and positive attitude, has been instrumental in her success with intermittent fasting, and she hopes it can inspire others to achieve their own health goals.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Story at-a-glance Research shows intermittent fasting triggers hair loss by flooding follicles with toxic free fatty acids when your body shifts from glucose to fat as fuel Hair follicle stem cells prefer glucose for energy and begin dying when forced to metabolize fat during fasting periods, causing them to remain in a dormant state Clinical trials confirmed fasting slows hair regrowth in humans regardless of calorie intake or timing, with the damage occurring from the fast-feed cycle itself The stress response starts in adrenal glands, which release hormones that prompt dermal fat cells to release fatty acids that damage follicle stem cells To reverse fasting-related hair loss, eat nutrient-dense meals regularly with approximately 250 grams of digestible carbohydrates daily to stabilize energy supply

The average commodity bacon at the grocery store is affordable, but is the more costly bacon worth it? Once a pig is weaned from its mother, it's sent to a feedlot, weighing about 40 to 50 pounds. It will then live in a 7-square-foot area where it will be fattened to over 250 pounds in 3 to 4 months! Commercial pigs are fed GMO corn and soy. They're also given drugs in the US, like ractopamine, to quickly increase muscle growth before slaughter. This drug is banned in 90 countries! Laws protect the privacy of these farms, so it's difficult for the public to discover what truly occurs there. When bacon is processed, artificial smoke flavoring, salt, sugar, water, and MSG are typically added. This process is not generally used for high-quality bacon.Nitrates are chemicals that act as antibacterials and flavor enhancers. When exposed to high heat, however, they can turn into carcinogens. Singing Pastures is an excellent source of pasture-raised bacon. Pigs are rotated in small pastures to allow grass to regenerate. In Spain and Italy, pigs are often fed acorns. Pork is also cured to enhance flavor and quality.Pork is one of the best sources of vitamin B1. Pasture-raised pork contains vitamin D and trace minerals such as selenium and zinc. Lard is a healthy fat and, if it comes from a properly raised pig, is a great addition to cooking and baking. Overcooked bacon can create carcinogenic byproducts. Avoid this by cooking your bacon in the oven or air fryer. To counteract carcinogens, cook your bacon with olive oil, garlic, and onion. Avoid microwavable bacon!

Castor oil has been used for over 4,000 years! It's been found in ancient Egyptian tombs and in Chinese and Indian medicine. When shopping, look for an organic, cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil packaged in a dark bottle.Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which is not found in any other plant. It can help eliminate dark spots and wrinkles and is very hydrating for your skin. It can penetrate all three layers of your skin and can even dissolve lumps in some cases. Castor oil benefits are best seen with consistent use. To see results, use castor oil three times per week for at least 30 days to 6 weeks. Potential health benefits of castor oil include the following:•Increases growth and thickness of eyelashes and brows •Removes skin tags and warts with the help of iodine and garlic•Boosts the immune system•Helps dissolve tartar •Reduces pain from arthritis•Reduces liver congestion and increases bile flow Castor oil penetrates the skin, so you can use castor oil packs on the ovaries or breasts to help address cysts. DMSO can help castor oil penetrate the skin more deeply. Magnesium oil is also a helpful addition to castor oil.Try dipping your face in an ice bath before applying castor oil. A 48 to 72-hour fast replaces dead cells with new cells and can have a multi-layer effect on your skin. A healthy diet is also essential!Castor oil can improve stretch marks and scars and boost hair growth. Massage castor oil into your scalp to reduce dandruff and dry scalp. Jamaican black castor oil is the best option for your hair and scalp. Massage castor oil into your feet to address inflammation systemically and use topically to reduce pain. Castor oil can cause early contractions during pregnancy, so use with caution. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Have you heard about intermittent fasting? Its not just a weight loss trend anymore. Its also great for boosting your bodys natural hormones, like GLP-1 and GLP-2. These important gut peptides help manage appetite, control blood sugar, and repair the digestive tract. GLP-1 helps your body release insulin, slows down how quickly your stomach empties, and curbs hungermaking it a great asset for managing diabetes and metabolic health. Meanwhile, GLP-2 is busy promoting intestinal healing, strengthening the gut barrier, and enhancing nutrient absorption. One of the best fasting routines for increasing GLP-1 and GLP-2 levels is the 16:8 intermittent fasting method. This involves eating within just an 8-hour period each day. During fasting, your gut gets a chance to rest and reset. When its time to eat again, focusing on nutrient-rich meals packed with fiber and healthy fats can really boost your hormone production. Healthy fats and soluble fiber, in particular, do wonders for releasing GLP-1. Taking a natural approach like this can support your metabolic health and may lessen the need for medications, such as GLP-1 agonists (like Ozempic). If you're on the lookout for a drug-free way to achieve better hormone balance, control your appetite, and enhance gut health, fasting presents an easy, research-backed option. if you have a question call Dr.McKay  Core Health Darien is located at 551 Post Road This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

1. Lack of sleep You could feel exhausted all the time simply because you lack sleep. Alcohol, overtraining, and eating too late can interfere with sleep. Chocolate consumption can increase theobromine, similar to caffeine, which can interfere with sleep if consumed too late. Try taking magnesium one hour before bed to help you relax. Vitamin B1 is also vital for quality sleep. Did you know that going outside in the morning to watch the sunrise can improve your sleep? Try it!2. Cellular hypothyroidismThyroid hormones go into every cell in your body, controlling metabolism and energy levels. If your thyroid is not working properly, you will likely experience fatigue. Increase selenium to improve thyroid function. Brazil nuts, sardines, shellfish, and grass-fed liver are excellent sources of selenium.3. StressA severe stress, such as the loss of a loved one, can cause your immune system to shut down because of the cortisol spike. This allows latent viruses like the Epstein-Barr virus to come out of remission and cause chronic fatigue syndrome. High doses of vitamin D can help.Try making your own L. reuteri yogurt, one of the best remedies for high cortisol. Increasing magnesium and sodium and taking long walks in the woods can also reduce cortisol levels. 4. Histamine overload An enzyme in your body naturally breaks down histamine. Alcohol, medications, and gut damage can inhibit this enzyme's function, increasing histamine levels. Avoid aged cheeses, vinegar, canned fish, and fermented vegetables if you suspect a histamine sensitivity. 5. Blood sugarConsuming high amounts of carbohydrates or sugar during the day often leads to blood sugar fluctuations at night. Frequent night waking decreases energy during the day. Carb consumption depletes vitamin B1, which can cause restless legs syndrome, waking you up.6. Sleep disturbances Sleep apnea and being too hot or too cold can interfere with your sleep. Frequent urination caused by too much snacking or too many carbs can also be the culprit. 7. Protein intake If you're not consuming enough high-quality protein, it could be the reason you're feeling exhausted all the time. Try adding more protein to each meal for a significant improvement in energy. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

If you've been intrigued by all the benefits that intermittent fasting claims to offer, you are not alone, and this week's podcast episode is for you. I'm joined by a special — and beloved (so you've told me) returning guest — my husband, Jeb!Jeb gives his own thoughts on the research behind intermittent fasting, his personal experience with addiction and how it reflects some of the same behaviors, and provides the comic relief, as he likes to say. Though I am clearly the funnier of the two of us. I also talk about how fasting showed up in my own disordered relationship with food, even though I never intentionally followed a time-restricted diet.Some of the things we discuss include...* The origins of intermittent fasting* Different types of fasting protocols* Why intermittent fasting proponents claim it's “not a diet”* Intermittent fasting's connection to Silicon Valley, body optimization, and biohacking* What the research says about intermittent fasting's claims to better health, increased productivity, mastering glucose levels, mental clarity, and more* Whether IF has any long-term health benefits* The emotional and mental impact of intermittent fasting, including on your relationship with food* Physical health implications of fasting* Intermittent fasting's connection with disordered eating behaviors* Where do we go from here if we're still intrigued?Enjoying this podcast?

Judy shares how a health scare in August of 2020 led her to discover intermittent fasting. After a hospitalization, Judy realized that many of her health issues were linked to her weight, prompting her to start intermittent fasting as a lifestyle change rather than just another diet. Initially skeptical about another dieting attempt, she soon found herself embracing intermittent fasting as a lifestyle.Judy's journey with intermittent fasting began with rapid success—she lost 39 pounds in just four months, ultimately shedding 90 pounds in her first year. Her second year of fasting involved significant body recomposition, with her size changes indicating fat loss even when the scale didn't go down. Judy details her struggles with various diets over the years, including Weight Watchers, where she initially found success but eventually regained the weight. This time, intermittent fasting offered a sustainable solution.Throughout her fasting journey, Judy has experienced numerous health benefits, including improved mobility, reduced joint pain, and significant reductions in markers like triglycerides, A1C, and fasting glucose levels. These health improvements, alongside the consistent support from her husband, affirm the effectiveness of intermittent fasting. Judy also speaks candidly about overcoming challenges, such as weight fluctuations after trips and the need to find her fasting "mojo" again with Gin's 28-day fast start program.For those starting intermittent fasting, Judy advises patience and emphasizes that it is a lifestyle change rather than a diet. She notes the importance of setting behavioral goals rather than focusing solely on the scale. Recognizing and avoiding foods that may hinder progress, like sugary or heavily processed items, and celebrating non-scale victories are key to long-term success. Judy's story exemplifies the transformative power of intermittent fasting, demonstrating that it's never too late to start a journey toward better health.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

“The morning, up until around lunch, is the best time of day to eat most of our calories. And in fact, there's been really great research. Even if you don't change the timing of your meals, if you make breakfast and lunch the largest meals of the day and dinner the smallest meal of the day, you lose more weight. And not only do you lose more weight, you're actually less hungry.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson  “Talk about these time intervals. Why is 14 a magic number?” -Jason Wrobel  “Typically, it takes the body about 12 to 14 hours to burn through a lot of its glycogen stores. Initially after a meal, your body's gonna be burning a lot of carbohydrates—so, glucose. It's gonna burn through a lot of the actual food in the meal, then it'll store some, burn others.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson  “Are there any scientifically reported benefits for hormone health, or managing cancer, with TRE?” -Jason Wrobel  “The area of cancer is super fascinating. Valter Longo does a lot of work in both the realms of aging and longevity, and cancer. Many years ago, he and some collaborators discovered if you fast cells or animals with cancer prior to treating the cancer with chemotherapy and radiation, you could kill tumors far more effectively.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson What if the timing of your meals mattered just as much as the food on your plate? In this episode, we're diving into the fascinating science of time-restricted eating with Dr. Courtney Peterson—one of the world's leading researchers on how aligning our meals with the body's internal clock can transform our health. A Harvard-trained scientist and Associate Professor of Nutrition Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Peterson was the first to test early time-restricted eating in humans, and her groundbreaking work is redefining how we think about metabolism, energy, and chronic disease. If you've ever wondered if nourishment runs deeper than nutrients—that your body might be seeking harmony—then this episode will strike a chord. What we discuss in this episode: Different types of intermittent fasting: how they compare, and what benefits they offer. The science behind time-restricted eating (TRE). How TRE supports weight loss and appetite regulation. Fasting, aging, and the process of autophagy. The best time of day to consume the majority of your calories. How meal timing can influence fertility and reproductive health in women. Grazing vs. structured mealtimes: what the science shows. The intersection of cancer treatment and fasting: what emerging research reveals. Hypertrophy and intermittent fasting. How fasting influences exercise performance. Dr. Peterson's personal approach to intermittent fasting.

We're breaking it all down. In this episode, we dive into: ⏱️ What intermittent fasting really is

Today, I'm going to tell you about the biggest food lie that could be ruining your health. It can take decades for dangerous foods to be removed from the food supply. Crisco is an alternative cooking oil developed in 1911. It's made from repurposed cottonseed oil, traditionally used for lanterns. The trans fats found in Crisco cause the most damage to the heart, brain, tissues, and cells. When first developed, there were never any safety studies on trans fats. It took over 100 years to get them banned!Similarly, it took 90 years to get asbestos off the market. DDT, a toxic pesticide, took 30 years to be removed from the market. Glyphosate, fluoride, sodium nitrate, and saccharin are still used in the food and water supply, despite significant health concerns. Biosolids are repurposed sewage waste used as fertilizer to grow our food. Dent corn is an inedible, GMO field corn used to make over 4000 different products, such as animal feed, high-fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, modified food starch, synthetic vitamin C, and seed oils. It is not heart-healthy and causes inflammation in the body. Are carbs essential? No! This is the biggest food lie and the most damaging. Most chronic diseases in the US are caused directly by high-carbohydrate diets. Lowering your carb intake can produce the most significant health benefits. Keto is attacked because it works! A keto diet can help reverse type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, mood disorders, cognitive dysfunction, and more. Most Americans have at least one chronic disease. Our dietary guidelines should include a low-carb diet as an option. Although the guidelines are often ignored by the general public, doctors can be penalized for recommending diets outside of them.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

In this video, I'll show you how to make an inexpensive anti-aging face mask that will leave you with youthful, glowing, tightened skin. To make this face mask, gently whisk an egg white, and apply a thin layer to your face. Allow it to dry for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse your face with warm water to remove the face mask. To take this face mask to the next level, add egg yolk! Egg yolks contain vitamins A, D, E, K, B vitamins, and choline. They also add healing and regenerative benefits to the mask. Adding a teaspoon of organic plain yogurt to this face mask helps support the microbiome.It's also beneficial to increase egg intake. Eggs are a superfood and the highest-quality protein you can consume. If you're going to fry your eggs, fry eggs in olive oil, butter, or coconut oil.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

They call it “settled science” that vaccines don't cause autism, so then what causes autism? Wikipedia says there's no known cause, and that it's most likely genetic and possibly environmental. There's no known cure, and it's heavily emphasized that vaccines don't cause autism. So let's take a look at the facts. Dr. Coimbra, a Brazilian neurologist, found that people with autism have chronic inflammation in the brain that's not related to a microbe or a pathogen. It's also important to note that 70% of autistic children have higher rates of autoimmune conditions.Vaccines do not create an adequate immune response without an adjuvant. Aluminum compounds are the most commonly used vaccine adjuvants. Research shows that aluminum is toxic on multiple levels. Its neurotoxicity manifests in learning, concentration, memory, and speech deficits. When injected with a vaccine, it also crosses the blood-brain barrier.From 1980 to 2023, vaccine rates, aluminum exposure, and autism rates have significantly increased. In 2023, 1 in 36 children were diagnosed with autism and had the most aggressive vaccine schedule to date.Children are exposed to 5000 mcg of aluminum by age 6 with the current vaccine schedule. Most studies on vaccines use aluminum adjuvant placebos or other aluminum-containing vaccines in the control group, which is problematic. Other developed countries without such an aggressive vaccine schedule are not seeing the same levels of autism. Similarly, the Amish community, which is largely unvaccinated, has very low rates of autism. Dr. Coimbra utilizes the following protocol to reduce the symptoms of autism.1. 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 2. Propolis 3. Oral silica (monomethylsilanetriol) 100 to 200 mg 3 times per day 4. 4 grams of glycinate for hyperactivityA low-carb diet can also be beneficial for children with autism.Dr. Coimbra explains that the kidneys do not eliminate aluminum when injected with a vaccine. It remains in the organs and within the immune cells, and enters the brain carried by these cells.

It's a grass-fed cheese made with high standards not seen in American Parmesan cheese-making. Grass-fed cheese is loaded with microbes that come from the soil. Cows need the help of microbes to digest the fiber in the grass they consume. These microbes produce byproducts from the grass that help nourish the cow. The process of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese-making also involves microbes!Parmigiano Reggiano is made from 3 ingredients: high-quality cow's milk, salt, and an enzyme that turns the milk into cheese. U.S. Parmesan cheese also contains potassium sorbate. Parmigiano Reggiano is a raw product without fillers or preservatives that's aged at least 12 months. There are no aging requirements for Parmesan cheese. Some Parmigiano Reggiano is aged for 14 to 24 months, or longer. Microbes consume lactose during the aging process, so the finished product is often lactose-free. Parmigiano Reggiano has the following health benefits:•High in glutamate •Contains bioavailable calcium and phosphorus•Helps build glutathione, a potent antioxidant that supports liver health•Reduces blood pressure•Contains butyric acid, which supports brain healthParmigiano Reggiano has the highest amount of vitamin K2 compared to all other cheeses. Vitamin K2 redirects calcium in the arteries and joints to the teeth and bones. Parmigiano Reggiano contains MK-7, the most bioavailable form of vitamin K2.

There are more toxic byproducts in food dyes than in many drugs. These synthetic food colorants have never been tested long-term for biological effects in humans! Many food dyes have been banned in Europe, but are still used in the U.S. Junk food industries that sell products with food dyes are heavily self-regulated, so the FDA allows them to perform their own studies. In 2021, there was a petition to ban red dye number 3 in cosmetics because it's a carcinogen even in small amounts, but it can still be found in your child's cereal. Artificial food coloring has been shown to cause hyperactivity in children and other neurological issues. Food dyes are often used for their psychological effects. Studies have shown that people will choose to eat more of a food because of its color.Natural pigments in our food have antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, help protect your cells, and protect the mitochondria. You can also get these phytonutrients when you consume grass-fed beef or lamb. Methylene blue is a synthetic, petroleum-based food dye that benefits your health. It was one of the first drugs ever developed, and unlike other artificial food dyes, methylene blue is pharmaceutical grade. It's been used for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, bladder infections, cancer, and more.Methylene blue is chemically different from other artificial food dyes. It helps give the body energy, even when there's damage to the mitochondria. It's beneficial for degenerative neurological disorders and reduces oxidative stress associated with cancer and mitochondrial damage. Artificial food coloring does not have the benefits of the pigments found naturally in food. They don't act as antioxidants or reduce inflammation in the body. They damage the mitochondria, and they don't have nutritional cofactors.Artificial food dyes have been linked to ADD and tumors in rats. They can cause leaky gut, and their effects are worsened when combined with preservatives and other food chemicals. Some food dyes are bioaccumulative, which means they build up in the body. The kidneys effectively eliminate methylene blue, so it doesn't accumulate.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Jo is a psychologist and psychotherapist who specializes in mental health and well-being. She shares her journey with intermittent fasting, which began in earnest about a year ago after listening to Gin's appearance on the Zoe podcast. Before that, she had experimented with 5:2 fasting for several years but found it ineffective and also difficult due to not practicing the clean fast. Jo recounts how learning about clean fasting was transformative, leading to rapid and noticeable changes in how she felt, changes in her body, and changes in her relationship with food.Jo discusses her past struggles with weight, starting from childhood, including how calorie counting and diet culture negatively affected her. She highlights the relief and freedom she felt when she stopped focusing on calories and began listening to her body. This change has improved her relationship with food, allowing her to enjoy meals fully without the guilt and anxiety that used to accompany eating. Jo explains how the clean fast has replaced her former reliance on snacks and emotional eating.The conversation delves into the psychological aspects of dieting and body image, with Jo reflecting on how her identity was tied to being overweight for much of her life. Through intermittent fasting, she has redefined her self-perception and embraced a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. Jo also shares insights from her experience with the Zoe program, which complemented her fasting regimen by focusing on personalized nutrition.In closing, Jo offers advice to those new to intermittent fasting. She suggests starting with a broad eating window to ease into the process comfortably and gradually shifting to shorter windows as the body's adaptation improves. This gradual approach allows individuals to find a natural balance that feels right for them, enabling them to enjoy the benefits of intermittent fasting in a way that is sustainable.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Episode Summary: Most women think their high morning blood sugar is from what they ate the night before—or not fasting long enough. But after tracking her own numbers with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), I discovered that the real culprits were much deeper. In this solo episode, I share how I brought her fasting blood sugar back to normal (hello 70s and 80s!), and what truly made the difference. This episode is for any woman who's tried “everything” and still feels stuck with stubborn glucose spikes. Links Mentioned:

In 2016, the USDA dropped the official definition of grass-fed. Technically, all cows are grass-fed until the last 3 to 6 months of their lives, when they're typically fattened with grains. However, despite misleading food labels, over 99% of beef in the store is not truly grass-fed. Cows are fed grains to quickly fatten them up, but these aren't “healthy” grains like many people assume. Cows in feedlots are fed DDGS (dried distillers grain with solubles), a cheap waste product of GMO, inedible dent corn used for making ethanol. This is incredibly profitable because it causes the cows to gain weight quickly for very little cost. Fiber, limestone, and synthetic vitamins and minerals are added to this corn byproduct. Monensin, an antibiotic, is also added. Antibiotics are regularly used in feedlots in the U.S. to quickly increase weight gain in animals. Beta-agonists are also used to enhance muscle growth. Some studies have shown that the use of this medication in animals can cause anxiety in the humans who consume them. There are two types of feedlots: open and closed. In closed feedlots, the cows only get 24 square feet of space and around 150 square feet in open feedlots. For truly grass-fed beef, look for 100% grass-fed. Support small farmers for the healthiest meat and to help put an end to the grass-fed scam!Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Parmigiano Reggiano is a cheese made in Parma, Italy. It's a grass-fed cheese made with high standards not seen in American Parmesan cheese-making. Grass-fed cheese is loaded with microbes that come from the soil. Cows need the help of microbes to digest the fiber in the grass they consume. These microbes produce byproducts from the grass that help nourish the cow. The process of Parmesan cheese-making also involves microbes!Parmigiano Reggiano is made from 3 ingredients: high-quality cow's milk, salt, and an enzyme that turns the milk into cheese. The powdered Parmesan cheese at the grocery store contains cellulose, which is essentially wood pulp. Cellulose is a filler and can legally make up 8% of a product! U.S. Parmesan cheese also contains potassium sorbate. Parmigiano Reggiano is a raw product without fillers or preservatives that's aged at least 12 months. There are no aging requirements for Parmesan cheese. Some Parmigiano Reggiano is aged for 14 to 24 months, or longer. Microbes consume lactose during the aging process, so the finished product is often lactose-free. Parmigiano Reggiano has the following health benefits:•High in glutamate •Contains bioavailable calcium and phosphorus•Helps build glutathione, a potent antioxidant that supports liver health•Reduces blood pressure•Contains butyric acid, which supports brain healthParmigiano Reggiano has the highest amount of vitamin K2 compared to all other cheeses. Vitamin K2 redirects calcium in the arteries and joints to the teeth and bones. Parmigiano Reggiano contains MK-7, the most bioavailable form of vitamin K2.

There are more toxic byproducts in food dyes than in many drugs. These synthetic food colorants have never been tested long-term for biological effects in humans! Many food dyes have been banned in Europe, but are still used in the U.S. Junk food industries that sell products with food dyes are heavily self-regulated, so the FDA allows them to perform their own studies. In 2021, there was a petition to ban red dye number 3 in cosmetics because it's a carcinogen even in small amounts, but it can still be found in your child's cereal. Artificial food coloring has been shown to cause hyperactivity in children and other neurological issues. Food dyes are often used for their psychological effects. Studies have shown that people will choose to eat more of a food because of its color.Natural pigments in our food have antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, help protect your cells, and protect the mitochondria. You can also get these phytonutrients when you consume grass-fed beef or lamb. Methylene blue is a synthetic, petroleum-based food dye that benefits your health. It was one of the first drugs ever developed, and unlike other artificial food dyes, methylene blue is pharmaceutical grade. It's been used for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, bladder infections, cancer, and more.Methylene blue is chemically different from other artificial food dyes. It helps give the body energy, even when there's damage to the mitochondria. It's beneficial for degenerative neurological disorders and reduces oxidative stress associated with cancer and mitochondrial damage. Artificial food coloring does not have the benefits of the pigments found naturally in food. They don't act as antioxidants or reduce inflammation in the body. They damage the mitochondria, and they don't have nutritional cofactors.Artificial food dyes have been linked to ADD and tumors in rats. They can cause leaky gut, and their effects are worsened when combined with preservatives and other food chemicals. Some food dyes are bioaccumulative, which means they build up in the body. The kidneys effectively eliminate methylene blue, so it doesn't accumulate.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Bridget Mazenkas from Massachusetts.Bridget is a social worker for a healthcare system and a mom of two boys. Bridget discusses her tumultuous past, including struggles with addiction that began at 17 and her path to recovery at 24, which marked the start of her health journey. Bridget also recounts her early battles with weight, stemming from childhood insecurities and a series of diets, starting from Weight Watchers at a young age. She explored various diet plans over the years, including keto, Noom, and even a celebrity diet she acquired through a relative, but none provided lasting results.After a second open-heart surgery in 2020, Bridget was advised by a cardiologist to try intermittent fasting, a recommendation that resonated with her after previous unsuccessful attempts. Once she learned about the importance of the clean fast, Bridget found success, losing 30 pounds from June to October 2021 with an initial morning eating window and later adapting to Alternate Day Fasting (ADF). Her schedule evolved as she balanced a demanding life as a mother, wife, and professional, finding ADF the most suitable for her lifestyle.Bridget attributes part of her success to the support of her husband, who also engages in intermittent fasting, as well as the community and resources she discovered along the way, including Gin's books and podcasts. Her taste in food has significantly shifted, and she now enjoys a variety of fruits and vegetables that she didn't appreciate before. Despite the occasional struggle with emotional eating, Bridget focuses on mindful eating and maintaining the balance she has achieved.Bridget's advice to those starting out with intermittent fasting is to find a support system or a "fasting buddy," emphasizing the importance of community and shared experiences. This support mirrors her recovery journey, where having a community made a significant difference. Listening to others' stories on the podcast and connecting with like-minded individuals helped her maintain motivation and perspective. She wants listeners to know that while confronting skepticism from others, what truly matters is the health and well-being that fasting has brought her, a message she feels is both empowering and universal.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

The #1 cause of heart disease is not what you think! Find out about the biggest cause of heart disease and what you can do to turn things around. In this video, I'll share some key tips to help reduce your risk of heart problems. 0:00 Introduction: What causes heart disease?0:31 Insulin resistance and heart disease 1:04 Signs of insulin resistance 1:45 What causes insulin resistance?3:57 The root cause of heart disease4:13 How to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease Visceral fat around the heart covers your arteries and heart muscle. Inflammation from this fat goes directly into the heart before any other place in the body!Insulin is a major contributor to visceral fat accumulation around the heart. When insulin is high, your body stores fat, and you gain weight. When it's low, you lose weight, especially visceral fat surrounding the heart. When you have insulin resistance, your insulin receptors no longer accept insulin. If you have insulin resistance, you may notice the following symptoms:•Waist circumference greater than 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women•Skin tags or darkened armpits or groin area•High triglycerides or low HDL •Difficulty losing weight•Difficulty going for long periods without a mealInsulin resistance can be caused by high-carb, high-sugar diets, stress, and chronic sleep problems. Seed oil consumption is one of the greatest contributors to insulin resistance. Industrial seed oils are highly processed with high heat and chemicals like hexane. Seed oils remain in your cells for over a year, which can damage the insulin receptor on the surface of the cells. The average person gets 25 to 30 percent of their calories from seed oils!Keto can help reverse insulin resistance, but you must do Healthy Keto® with higher-quality ingredients. Use healthy fats such as butter, tallow, and coconut oil, rather than seed oils. The biggest cause of heart disease is epicardial fat (fat deposits around the heart), which is caused by consuming sugar, starch, and seed oils—the main components of ultra-processed foods. To eliminate epicardial fat and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, there are a few things that you can do:•Eliminate seed oils and replace them with healthy oils•Follow a Healthy Keto diet •Do intermittent fasting and have two meals per day, without snacks•Cold therapy •Consume apple cider vinegar in a glass of water a few times per day•Consume berberine Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Is baking soda safe to drink? It has been used in countless natural remedies, but are there any baking soda dangers you should be aware of? Watch this video before drinking baking soda or using a baking soda remedy!0:00 Introduction: Is baking soda safe to drink? 0:39 Baking soda health benefits 0:49 Baking soda for an acid stomach 2:49 Baking soda for teeth and oral health4:33 How to safely use baking soda 5:11 Other natural remedies using baking soda Sodium bicarbonate is an alkaline compound made naturally by the pancreas to help neutralize stomach acid as it enters the small intestine. A poorly functioning pancreas can result in bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Baking soda can work as a temporary solution for an acid stomach, but not for indigestion! Indigestion is caused by low stomach acid, so baking soda would only worsen the problem. Apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride can help with indigestion. GERD and acid reflux are also related to low stomach acid, but baking soda can help temporarily. ACV and betaine hydrochloride are better long-term solutions. Baking soda can also help with gastritis, but it should be taken with zinc carnosine for this problem.Stomach acid should be highly acidic with a pH between 1 and 3. Drinking baking soda for long periods can neutralize your stomach acid, inhibiting your ability to digest protein, absorb B12, and absorb minerals. Low stomach acid can also lower your ability to kill microbes and pathogens in your food.Baking soda neutralizes the acid in your mouth and is an excellent addition to toothpaste. It can also help relieve itching related to a kidney problem and enhance athletic performance! Baking soda consumption can help prevent kidney stones and can also be helpful if you have a UTI.Baking soda can be used topically for certain insect bites, especially for fire ant bites and bee stings. It can also be used as pest control for insects like cockroaches. Don't take baking soda with vinegar or lemon juice! This creates a significant amount of carbon dioxide, which can leave you feeling bloated.

Add the best superfood for immunity to your diet today! Discover the countless health benefits of colostrum for your immune system, gut health, and more. Learn about the benefits of colostrum for adults and aging populations. It's not just for babies!0:00 Introduction: The best superfood for immunity 0:44 What is colostrum? 1:12 Colostrum benefits 3:33 Colostrum for adults3:43 Colostrum and gut health4:01 More colostrum uses 4:54 How to take colostrumColostrum is produced in the first 24 to 72 hours after birth. It's golden in color and rich in essential probiotics, including L. reuteri. It's significantly more immune-building than regular milk and even contains stem cells. Colostrum also contains an important prebiotic called HMO (human milk oligosaccharides) that feeds the probiotics found in breast milk. Colostrum contains cholesterol and omega-3 fats, vital for brain health, and important hormones like oxytocin and cortisol.Many infants are fed infant formula, which is essentially ultra-processed food calories. Most infant formulas are made of low-quality ingredients such as maltodextrin and soy, and they lack the immune benefits and probiotics of breast milk. Children who were fed infant formula are more predisposed to allergies, asthma, skin problems, obesity, cognitive delays, and other health problems. If you didn't get colostrum as a baby, there are still many benefits of colostrum for adults. You can take colostrum in supplement form. Colostrum is beneficial for gut health and can help fix a leaky gut or gut damage. It can help lower inflammation, increase good microbes, and decrease pathogens. Colostrum has powerful benefits for respiratory problems such as allergies and asthma. It can also help an overactive immune system and many autoimmune conditions. Colostrum helps support the thymus glands as you age and is very beneficial for age-related problems such as muscle loss, wrinkles, macular degeneration, and arthritis. It can even help with long COVID, Hashimoto's, autism, and Lyme disease. Colostrum is heat-sensitive, so look for a freeze-dried supplement!Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Lisa is a repeat guest, and she first appeared on episode 384 which came out in February of 2024. Lisa is a retired kindergarten teacher and an intermittent fasting coach. In this episode, Lisa shares how her lifelong struggles with body image and digestive issues led her to discover the fasting lifestyle for health benefits rather than weight loss.As Lisa delves into the transition to intermittent fasting, she emphasizes the relief and freedom from excessive food noise that it provided. This newfound clarity helped her realize a misalignment with her teaching career, prompting her to retire and explore new ventures like writing children's books and starting her coaching business. Lisa shares how intermittent fasting facilitated a major mental shift, helping her release old obsessive tendencies related to food and self-worth. She also discusses overcoming an "all-or-nothing" mindset, which now empowers her to make choices in alignment with her health and life goals.Throughout the conversation, Lisa highlights significant personal victories, including reduced digestive issues and pain, improved thyroid health, and increased mental clarity. She also touches upon the impact of diet culture and how intermittent fasting helped her detach from its toxic grip. Lisa's story emphasizes the importance of adaptation and self-awareness, noting her journey of learning to listen to hunger cues and understand personal body signals over pre-set eating schedules.Lisa concludes with advice for newcomers to intermittent fasting, urging them to practice clean fasting, to be patient and give the lifestyle time to show results, and to surround themselves with supportive, like-minded communities. Journaling is also encouraged to increase self-awareness and document the journey towards a healthier, more authentic self. Her closing words reinforce the idea that intermittent fasting can lead to unexpected and transformative personal growth.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html. Good news!

Today, I'm going to tell you how to get rid of acne permanently! Acne creams and medications treat the symptoms but don't address the root cause of the issue. Topical acne creams can address the issue temporarily. Products containing annatto extract, a special form of vitamin E, can control oil production, but the real problem is not excess oil production!Acne and blackheads are not caused by increased oil production. The real problem is the production of thicker, stickier oil. The following factors cause this thicker sebum production:1. Hormones (androgens)2. Too much insulin3. Zinc deficiency 4. Vitamin A deficiency5. Seed oil consumptionYour sebum is mainly composed of unsaturated fat. When you consume seed oils, they eventually reemerge in your skin's oil! Seed oils can also build up in the liver, inhibiting bile production, which interferes with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin A. Ultra-processed foods are a major contributor to acne. They contain refined sugars and refined starches, which deplete your zinc. They destroy the liver, which inhibits your ability to use vitamin A. Sugar, starches, and seed oils also contribute to insulin resistance. For the best one-time acne fix that addresses the problem permanently, you must follow a diet that keeps androgens and insulin low, while offering plenty of zinc and vitamin A. Follow a low-carb diet, avoiding sugar and starch. It is vital to eliminate seed oils and reduce your consumption of other foods high in omega-6 fatty acids. This includes grain-fed meat, such as grain-fed chicken, and their eggs. For healthy skin, free of acne, consume grass-fed meats and wild-caught fish. Increase shellfish, which is high in zinc, and foods such as grass-fed butter, grass-fed beef liver, and cod liver oil for vitamin A.

Today, we're going to talk about the benefits of stretching every day. A simple stretching workout can provide the following benefits:•Improved sleep •Decreased inflammation•Decreased pain•Counters past injuries•Calms the nervous systemMany people think their muscles are tight when it's really the fascia! Your fascia is like a wetsuit that surrounds the entire body. Helene Langevin of the National Institutes of Health discovered through acupuncture that when a needle is inserted into the skin, collagen fibers of the fascia begin winding around the needle! When you injure your fascia, you develop scar tissue, which can interfere with movement. Healthy fascia should be dynamic, movable, flexible, and even has electrical properties! Unhealthy or injured fascia develops a disorganized pattern of connective tissue. Stretching at home daily keeps your fascia healthy.Tight muscles and tissues that cause bad posture are one of the biggest problems you can have with your fascia. The more you can elongate your connective tissue, the better it will be for your fascia. A good daily stretching routine is one of the best ways to prevent stiffness associated with aging.Follow along and try this easy stretching routine for healthy fascia, flexibility, and improved posture!Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Onion juice is a natural hair loss remedy for many different types of hair loss. Whether autoimmune, nutritional, or fungal, onion juice can help stop hair loss naturally and stimulate natural hair growth quickly. Onions are loaded with sulfur, an essential building block for keratin, the protein that builds your hair. Onions have a high amount of quercetin, which is beneficial for autoimmune hair loss cases caused by alopecia. Quercetin helps increase the growth hormones of the hair follicle. It's also a powerful antimicrobial, so it can help protect the scalp against the overgrowth of yeast, fungus, and mold. To use onion juice for hair growth, chop one red onion and blend it in a blender. Put the blended onion through a cheesecloth to separate the liquid from the pulp. Massage the liquid into your scalp for a few minutes in the shower. Don't rinse! Allow the onion juice to sit in your hair for 30 minutes to 1 hour.Rinse your hair and shampoo twice to remove onion odor. Do this twice per week for 4 to 6 weeks. You should notice hair growth after week 3 or 4!To increase the benefits of onion juice for hair, add 5 drops of rosemary oil. In a 2015 randomized trial, rosemary oil was found to be as effective as one of the top medications for alopecia. Rosemary oil has several anti-inflammatory and antioxidant phytonutrients that increase blood flow to the scalp.While onion juice for hair has been proven effective, fermenting it can increase its effectiveness! To do this, combine onion juice, 8 ounces of water, a teaspoon of sea salt, and a ½ teaspoon of raw honey in a glass or mason jar.Cover the mixture with a cheesecloth and allow it to ferment at room temperature for 72 hours. This enhances the quercetin in the onion juice, increasing hair growth. Put the mixture through a cheesecloth to separate the liquid.If you're experiencing hair loss, taking 10,000 to 20,000 IU of vitamin D daily is very beneficial. A healthy diet is also imperative!Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
