Subcutaneous fat is the fat stored just under the skin. Visceral fat surrounds the organs. This type of fat is unhealthy and inflammatory, often related to insulin resistance. Liver fat can be eliminated in a matter of days or weeks.
Fat on the inner thighs is the most difficult type of fat to get rid of. This fat is not just superficial; it’s woven inside the muscle fibers, similar to the marbling in Wagyu beef. Muscle deteriorates and is replaced by fat and scar tissue. Stem cells that make muscle cells are lost, resulting in fewer contractions, less ATP, and more insulin resistance in the muscle.
This abnormal accumulation of fat in the muscle is called myosteatosis, or intramuscular fat. This fat must be burned locally! As you begin to address this problem, you may not initially lose weight or notice a visible change, because the change occurs at the cellular level.
For inner thigh fat loss, focus on repairing damaged muscle cells, rather than simply losing weight. Strength and decreased appetite will signify that you are improving.
The root causes of intramuscular fat are the following:
•Inactivity/sedentary life
•Insulin resistance
•Inflammation
•Aging
For the most inner thigh fat loss, try the following:
1. Eccentric exercises
2. Walking
3. Sprinting/HIIT
4. Two meals per day/low-carb diet
5. Increase key nutrients: magnesium, vitamin D, and omega-3
6. Get plenty of sleep
7. Periodic prolonged fasting
8. Cold plunge/shower

Stop this barbaric treatment! Sign the petition here: https://stopect.com/email-congress
This barbaric medical treatment is still being used to treat depression and mental illness in the US. Find out about the dangerous side effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), one of the most controversial mental health treatments that exists. You won’t believe they’re still doing this!
0:00 Introduction: ECT for depression
0:41 Electroshock treatment background
2:11 Is ECT dangerous?
2:23 What is electroconvulsive therapy?
4:22 More side effects of electroconvulsive therapy
4:38 Trauma from electroshock therapy
This barbaric mental health therapy costs around $2000 to $2500 per treatment, and is covered by Medicaid, Medicare, and the VA system. It’s a multibillion-dollar market! The average treatment plan includes 12 sessions in the first month, followed by maintenance sessions every 3 weeks.
This treatment has never been scientifically proven to work! There have been no official trials, and it has even been performed on children and pregnant women. The UN calls this treatment a human rights abuse and compares this forced treatment on minors to torture. In China, it’s actually used as a form of torture.
In addition, this treatment has never been FDA-approved and was merely grandfathered in. In 2018, the FDA downgraded it from a high-risk classification to a moderate-risk classification. This dangerous treatment causes structural brain damage, creates swelling and inflammation in the brain, and even kills brain cells.
Electroconvulsive therapy involves putting 150 volts through a person's brain to induce a grand mal seizure. ECT treatment comes with many side effects, has 60 documented adverse events, and can cause permanent brain damage, memory loss, and heart attacks.
This treatment uses enough energy to stop the heart, and there is nothing stopping the voltage from traveling to the rest of the body. This can lead to cardiac arrest! People who use this treatment are also at an increased risk of suicide.
I’ve seen firsthand in practice that people who’ve had this treatment lose their personality, humor, creativity, and more. ECT treatment can lead to death, destruction of cells and mitochondria, and shrinking of the hippocampus. Neurologist Dr. John Feinberg noted in 1977 that ECT caused structural brain damage, indistinguishable from head trauma.
If you have depression, diet and lifestyle changes may help. Increasing vitamin D levels, B-vitamin levels, and omega-3 levels, along with a low-carb diet and intermittent fasting, can significantly improve your symptoms.

Never put this on your face! Even natural ingredients can cause skin problems if misused. In this video, I’ll share 11 things you should never put on your face. To achieve healthy, clear skin, avoid these common skincare mistakes.
0:00 Introduction: Skincare mistakes to avoid
0:20 Skin damage explained
1:28 What not to use on your face
2:31 Lemon juice and sun exposure
5:25 Rubbing alcohol and bad skin products
7:07 Topical steroids and skincare mistakes
8:30 More skincare do’s and don’ts
Your skin is the largest organ in your body. On top of the skin, especially the face, is the acid mantle. This acidic, protective barrier houses millions of microbes that protect you.
Putting the wrong products on your skin can negatively affect this environment, leading to redness, rashes, acne, dry skin, and other skin problems.
Avoid the following 11 products that ruin your skin!
1. Apple cider vinegar
ACV is too acidic for the skin. It can cause irritation and redness. If you want to use it on your skin, dilute one teaspoon into 8 ounces of water.
2. Lemon juice
Don’t put lemon juice on your face or hair! It contains a phytochemical that can cause problems when you’re exposed to sunlight.
3. Essential oils
Some essential oils, such as cedarwood and tea tree oil, are simply too strong for the skin.
4. Bergamot
Combining bergamot with sun exposure can cause skin inflammation.
5. Baking soda
With a pH of 9, baking soda is too alkaline for the skin. It can damage the acidic environment, compromising the beneficial microbes on the skin.
6. Toothpaste
Harsh ingredients like peroxide and fluoride should not be used on your skin.
7. Rubbing alcohol
Alcohol kills the microbes on the surface of your skin. This can allow the overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria. Many creams and lotions contain alcohol, so be sure to check the ingredients of your skin care products.
8. Hydrogen peroxide
This is effective for removing stains on the teeth and for cleaning, but it's not suitable for use on the face.
9. Hair dye
Hair dye used for your eyebrows and eyelashes can be very dangerous to your eyes.
10. Topical steroids
Redness, irritation, and flakiness are often treated with topical steroids without second thought. Topical steroids stop the growth of skin cells and the production of collagen.
11. Exfoliating scrubs
Frequent use of exfoliating scrubs can scrub off the microbiome of your face. It’s beneficial to get a filter for your shower head to reduce skin exposure to chlorine and fluoride. Opt for makeup that is free of chemicals and fragrance!

Why have we lost our trust in natural medicine? In this video, we’ll discuss why natural medicine is ignored and sometimes even dismissed as folklore. Is it wise to invalidate the wisdom of the past? Discover the truth about natural medicine in this video.
0:00 Introduction: Natural medicine suppression
0:19 United States Dispensatory
0:38 Pharmaceutical vs. natural medicine
3:08 The advancement of medicine
6:35 Natural remedies of the past
The “United States Dispensatory” by Wood and Lawall may provide insight into alternative medicine censorship in the United States. The 21st edition, published in 1926, was the most authoritative and comprehensive reference for American medicine. At the time of publication, 75% of medicine consisted of various natural remedies, while only 25% consisted of synthetic compounds.
Since then, there’s been a gradual transition from natural remedies to synthetic drugs. When the 22nd edition of the book was published in 1943, the ratio of natural to synthetic drugs shifted to 50:50.
Today, medicine is often prescribed without considering lifestyle, eating habits, sleep patterns, stress levels, or the microbiome. Symptoms of the underlying problems are treated without addressing the root cause.
Discover these 20 natural remedies that have stood the test of time, along with the ailment they have historically been used to address.
1. Cod liver oil—Tuberculosis, tetany, nerve pain
2. Nutmeg oil—Psychotic problems
3. Olive oil—Mild laxative, gallstones
4. Pine needle oil—Eliminates mucus from the lungs
5. Castor oil—Mild laxative
6. Sandalwood oil—Gonorrhea, bronchitis, bladder infections
7. Sassafras oil—Antiseptic
8. Betaine hydrochloride—Indigestion, gastric problems
9. Pepsin—Digestive issues
10. Lugol’s iodine—Thyroid support and protection
11. Magnesium sulfate—Sleep support, anxiety, pain killer
12. Calcium chloride—Acidifies the body
13. Liver extract—Anemia
14. Methylene blue—Shrinks tumors, meningitis, bladder infections, gonorrhea, and supports the mitochondria
15. Lithium carbonate—Relaxation, anxiety, and depression relief
16. Glauber’s salt—Laxative
17. Vitamin D—Autoimmune conditions
18. Colloidal silver
19. Activated charcoal—Food poisoning, gas
20. Niacin—Lowers triglycerides, increases HDL, increases lifespan, supports cardiovascular health, acts as a NAD precursor

These dangerous food additives are designed to get you hooked! Find out about the hidden toxins in your diet that could be taking a serious toll on your health. Avoid these ingredients by any means necessary!
0:00 Introduction: The most dangerous ingredients in the world
0:23 Why are these toxic ingredients so addictive?
3:06 10 deadly ingredients in processed food
6:00 Seed oils and your health
12:05 Download the Dr. Berg app!
How do they turn cheap, toxic ingredients into a highly addictive food? The worst food ingredients often have the following components:
•Devoid of protein
•Create a blood sugar spike
•Artificial flavorings
•MSG
•Manipulated texture
•Good mouth feel
•Bliss point
•Signals the release of dopamine
•Pleasure when eating
Avoid the following toxic ingredients, often found in ultra-processed foods.
1. Trans fats
Some foods still contain trans fats. This ingredient is even worse when combined with refined carbohydrates.
2. High fructose corn syrup
This synthetic sugar goes straight to the liver, contributing to a fatty liver and insulin resistance. Sweet drinks made with alcohol cause significant liver damage and affect the brain, nervous system, and heart. Seed oils exacerbate this problem.
3. Sodium nitrate
This is a preservative found in bacon and hot dogs, and it becomes increasingly toxic when heated.
4. Fried potatoes/burnt toast
Adding heat to a starch creates toxic byproducts such as aldehydes and acrylamide. These toxic ingredients cause inflammation in the body. Starch or sugar combined with protein creates AGEs, harmful byproducts that damage your arteries, eyes, kidneys, and brain.
5. Artificial sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners have a toxic effect on the body, especially the microbiome.
6. Glyphosate
Glyphosate is patented as an antibiotic and classified by the WHO as a probable carcinogen.
7. MSG
Monosodium glutamate affects the hypothalamus in rats, causing them to overeat and become obese. This ingredient can make low-quality food taste better than it really is.
8. Phosphate
This stimulant can contribute to arterial calcification, especially if you don’t have enough vitamin K2.
9. Potassium bromate
This ingredient is a bread conditioner and is classified as a probable carcinogen.
10. Synthetic flavoring
The ingredient “flavoring” consists of hundreds of chemicals used to manipulate your sense of taste. Chronic consumption of artificial flavors can dull your appetite for real food.

Are multivitamins bad for you? How could that be? In this video, I’ll share the truth about the multivitamin scam. Find out about the vitamins you should never take, supplements that don’t work, and the harmful ingredients in your supplements.
0:00 Introduction: Multivitamins truth
0:19 Harmful ingredients in supplements
1:45 Synthetic vs. natural vitamins
3:38 Do multivitamins really work?
9:32 Natural vitamins and minerals
11:17 Fake vitamins exposed!
Many multivitamins are made with the cheapest, synthetic ingredients which could be doing more harm than good.
The first ingredient in many multivitamins is often calcium carbonate, which is limestone! The first ingredient usually makes up the majority of the product. Magnesium oxide, another common ingredient, is very cheap and has the lowest absorption rate compared to other forms of magnesium.
The term “natural” isn’t regulated, so ingredients derived from sources such as petroleum and coal tar can be labeled as natural. In nature, vitamins don’t exist alone; they are combined with other nutrients and cofactors, which are often missing when you take synthetic vitamins. Biochemistry can not work without cofactors.
Although there are nutrients that are difficult to obtain in sufficient amounts from food, that doesn’t mean they should be replaced with synthetic multivitamins.
Maltodextrin is commonly used as a filler in vitamins and minerals. It’s a highly refined industrial starch, classified as a complex carbohydrate, and spikes blood sugar more than sugar.
Ascorbic acid is a synthetic part of the vitamin C complex. Approximately 90% is made in China from GMO corn and sulfuric acid. Many people have a genetic issue converting cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form of B12, and folic acid, a synthetic form of B9, into their active forms. This can cause negative side effects in 40% of the population.
Almost all of the popular multivitamins are owned by Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Chemical, or large investment groups. For example, Centrum Silver is owned by Pfizer, and One a Day is owned by Bayer. Nature Made is owned by the same company that sells Abilify!

Avoid these mistakes for a healthy gut! These 8 common gut health mistakes could be destroying your digestive health. Discover the habits and foods that ruin gut health, along with my expert gut health tips to improve your digestion and overall health today.
1. Trying to improve gut health with fiber
Increasing fiber is one of the worst things you can do for your gut, yet it’s commonly recommended. If your gut is damaged, fiber can exacerbate the issue, contributing to gas and inflammation. If you have gut inflammation, the carnivore diet can help!The carnivore diet helps increase glutamine, an amino acid that promotes gut healing. Zinc carnosine and butyrate, found in butter, are excellent for a healthy gut. Intermittent fasting and periodic prolonged fasting are crucial for maintaining digestive health.Approximately 40% of the population has SIBO. L. Reuteri can help reduce SIBO and has many other amazing benefits. It increases oxytocin, lowers stres, and even increases social capacity. Ensure you have strong stomach acid for healthy digestion and protection from microbes.
2. Commercial probiotics and yogurt
The amount of probiotics in these products is so low that it won’t make a difference in gut health. Many commercial yogurts are low-fat and contain added sugar and starch.
3. Colon cleansing
This eliminates beneficial gut bacteria, which can ultimately lead to constipation and other health issues. Avoid detoxing and focus on a healthy diet.
4. Antibiotics
Your gut microbiome does not fully recover after taking antibiotics. Bacteria that survive antibiotics can become antibiotic-resistant superbugs! If you have to take antibiotics take a good probiotic simultaneously.
5. Antacids
Acid reflux is a valve problem caused by low stomach acid. Weakening your stomach acid worsens the problem. Strong stomach acid is vital for digestion, protection against pathogens, and mineral absorption.
6. Low-fat diets
Low-fat diets are bad for digestion because fat stimulates the gallbladder to release bile. Low bile leads to constipation and the inability to kill off microbes in the small intestine.
7. Balanced diet
Everything in moderation is the worst advice! Lowering carbs from 45% to 65% of your calories to 10% can significantly improve digestion.
8. Superfood shakes
Superfood shakes and smoothies with kale, spinach, and fruit can overload the small intestine with fiber. Red meat is the best superfood!

If you suffer from severe menstrual cramps, this is for you. Find out how to stop menstrual cramps naturally by addressing the root cause with these 13 natural remedies for period pain. Never experience menstrual cramps again!
0:00 Introduction: How to reduce period pain
0:23 What is a menstrual cramp?
1:30 What causes severe period cramps?
6:42 Vitamin D3 and painful menstrual cramps
12:38 13 natural remedies for period pain
Today, I’m going to show you how to relieve period cramps fast, and for good. There are two types of period cramps: the primary type is labeled idiopathic, and secondary cramps that are caused by fibroids, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis.
Many women take NSAIDs, birth control pills, and Depo shots for period pain relief. The medical community generally discourages the use of natural remedies for menstrual cramps, but does not discourage the use of medication. Research has shown the effectiveness of vitamin B1 and vitamin E.
Upon searching for the root cause, I stumbled upon the following clues:
• Painful cramps are caused by pain chemicals called prostaglandins.
• Vasopressin, which causes contractions and decreased blood flow, is elevated when you have menstrual cramps.
• Painful period cramps are associated with high parathyroid hormone levels.
• Women with painful menstrual cramps also have much higher inflammation in the uterus, often related to NF-KB.
• Black women have a 33% higher likelihood of getting severe period cramps than white women.
• Menstrual cramps are sometimes treated with calcium channel blockers.
This led to the conclusion that the root cause of menstrual cramps is a severe vitamin D3 deficiency! Try the following natural remedies for period pain and say goodbye to menstrual cramps for good:
1. Take 20,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily
2. Take 400-600 mg of magnesium glycinate
3. Follow a low-carb diet
4. Intermittent fasting
5. Cod liver oil for pain relief
6. Vitamin E
7. Vitamin B1
8. Increase iron with red meat
9. Zinc for vitamin D3 absorption
10. Exercise
11. Fenugreek
12. Heating pad
13. Ginger

If you have damage to your arteries, you’re at an increased risk for high blood pressure and clots, which can cause strokes and heart attacks. When you visit the doctor for these conditions, they typically address the symptoms rather than examining the root cause.
The root cause of plaque in the arteries is endothelial damage. Endothelial damage and inflammation are repaired by plaque, composed of calcium, cholesterol, and protein.
Arterial damage decreases nitric oxide levels, resulting in less control over blood pressure and an increased risk of clotting. Around 90% of heart attacks come from clots!
Sunlight is vital to increase nitric oxide. Nasal breathing and magnesium are also essential.
You can reverse arterial plaque buildup through a process called reverse cholesterol transport. This mechanism transports plaque in the arteries back to the liver for recycling. This process can be sped up with the help of the following:
•Niacin
•HDL cholesterol
•Exercise
•Fasting
•Low-carb diets
•Bile salts
Magnesium controls calcium, so increasing your intake can help to remove it from the arteries. Polyphenols protect the endothelial layer of the arteries, and vitamin K2 helps prevent arterial calcification.
Cacao powder is the main component of the best drink for your arteries. It’s high in flavonols and stimulates enzymes in the body to produce more nitric oxide. Roasted cacao has been shown to increase blood flow to the arteries, similar to the effects of exercise.
Cacao is also beneficial for your heart, brain, skin, and other organs and tissues in the body. It has an accumulative effect and can build up in your system over time.
To prepare your drink, combine cacao powder in a glass of water. You can drink it cold or warm. Add beetroot juice powder for an additional boost of nitric oxide and an interesting flavor. You can also add a pinch of sea salt and a scoop of magnesium glycinate for the most potent effect!

Could the root cause of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension really be the same? In this video, I’ll show you how to prevent chronic illness by effectively addressing the root cause, rather than just the symptom.

Medicine aims to label a disease and treat the symptoms with medication. Medication comes with side effects, which are then treated with more medication. Focusing on the root cause of health problems could help avoid numerous issues.
The average adult consumes over 50% of their calories from ultra-processed foods. Food is readily available, we’re constantly looking at screens, and we’re exposed to toxins like never before. Sterilized food and environments have caused underdeveloped immune systems and epidemic-level nutrient deficiencies.
Genetics plays a role in disease and immunity, but there’s more to it. Genetics can provide clues about potential health issues we may encounter if our diet and environment are not quite right.

You could be consuming the world’s most dangerous carbohydrate without even realizing it. This hidden carb spikes your blood sugar, even more than actual sugar. Find out about the #1 most dangerous carb in this video.
0:00 Introduction: The #1 most dangerous carb in the world
1:58 What is the worst carbohydrate?
2:20 What is starch?
5:20 Refined carbohydrates and chronic disease
6:08 Hidden sugar foods
8:31 Food vs. ultra-processed foods
It’s no secret that ultra-processed carbs can take a serious toll on your health. Consuming this dangerous carbohydrate can have the following side effects:•Development of type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver•Insulin resistance•Visceral fat•Feeds pathogens in the gut •Inflammation•Increased LDL cholesterol
Products containing this ingredient can be marketed as zero sugar, even though it quickly turns to sugar in the blood. It’s incredibly cheap, at about 20 cents per pound, and has no health benefits. It’s used as a filler, and the average person consumes between 60 and 250 pounds per year.
You can find this ingredient in gluten-free foods, baby formulas, baked goods, and other refined foods. Surprisingly, many athletes also consume this product.
The carb we’re talking about is industrial starch, such as modified food starch, corn starch, and maltodextrin. Starch is a string of glucose molecules. When a starch is modified in a lab, its bonds become very weak and fragile, causing it to turn into sugar very quickly in the body.
Industrial starches are processed with chemicals such as sodium trimetaphosphate, vinyl acetate, bleach, and octenyl succinic anhydride. These chemicals are considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe), but they are self-regulated.
Industrial starches are directly responsible for the complications associated with type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, brain plaquing, and fibrosis of the liver.
People rarely consume starch alone. Most junk foods are composed of starches, seed oils, and sugar. Consuming starch with seed oils is a deadly combination! Hidden sugars are also consumed in much higher quantities than actual sugar.
Food is defined as “that which is eaten to sustain life, to promote the growth and repair of tissues.” By this definition, starch is not food!

Yogurt is touted as a health food that can help support the gut microbiome, but really, how healthy is yogurt? In this video, discover all the things you didn’t know about yogurt. Your gut health depends on this!
0:00 Introduction: Is yogurt bad for you?
0:10 Fermented foods
1:00 Yogurt side effects and benefits
3:10 Commercial yogurt vs. homemade yogurt
5:11 Unhealthy facts about yogurt
6:45 Processed yogurt ingredients
8:59 Probiotics, kefir, and sauerkraut
The benefits of yogurt and other fermented foods do not lie in their ability to reseed the gut. The real benefit is the change in environment. Fermented and cultured foods change the pH and oxygen levels in the gut. They also provide food and metabolites for the gut microbes, which can also help activate dormant microbes.
Many microbes have been suppressed by antibiotics, junk food, and other factors. Many of them are keystone microbes, which are vital for your gut health.
Unless your yogurt says it contains live and active cultures, it’s been double-pasteurized. Commercial yogurt typically ferments for 1 to 2 hours, whereas traditional homemade yogurt ferments anywhere from 8 to 36 hours. By the time you eat commercial yogurt, there are significantly fewer CFUs of bacteria than stated on the label.
Sugar in yogurt can kill the friendly bacteria and feed pathogens in your gut. Added ingredients, such as pectin, gels, and guar gum, inhibit bacterial movement. Yogurt fermented for only 1 to 2 hours will not have the right texture or thickness, so ingredients such as modified food starch, carrageenan, and polysorbate 80 are added. These ingredients can destroy the mucosal layer of the gut, leading to leaky gut and inflammation. Many commercial yogurts contain artificial sweeteners, which are known to alter the gut microbiome.
Many processed yogurts contain bioengineered food ingredients that may contain traces of glyphosate, a patented antibiotic. This means the very product you’re consuming to support your gut health could be destroying your gut microbes.
Probiotics contain significantly more microbes than yogurt. These freeze-dried microbes are often able to reach the large intestine and reseed the gut, especially when taken repetitively. Kefir, which contains both bacteria and yeast, is also a better option than yogurt.
Sauerkraut is an excellent food for gut health. It contains polyphenols, postbiotics, SCFAs, sulforaphane, organic acids, glutamine, and the compound s-methylmethionine.

Your favorite social media influencers might be under the influence. Discover the truth about Big Pharma and the social media influencer marketing corruption tactics they use to spread health misinformation online. Don’t let Big Pharma influencers affect your health choices!
0:00 Introduction: Big Pharma exposed
0:55 How Big Pharma buys influencers
1:24 Big Pharma corruption and lack of trust
2:24 How Big Pharma controls the media
7:11 How to identify health misinformation online
11:36 Myth-busting online
Did you know that Big Pharma and Big Food buy social media influencers? These social media health gurus influence what you eat, the decisions you make about your health, and attempt to invalidate other health influencers and information. As Big Pharma loses public trust, it turns to social media influencers to try to regain it.
Since 2000, penalties for Big Pharma have totaled over $126 billion. Sixty billion of that was related to patient injury and harm. Modern medicine, with the help of Big Pharma, has shifted its focus from health to profit.
Approximately 90% of the media on TV is funded by Big Pharma. This is also true for digital marketing. On average, social media influencers are paid $20 to $25 per 1,000 views. If that influencer has more trust, they can make 8 to 12 times this amount. Based on my trustworthiness and credibility, I could be paid between $250,000 and $500,000 for a 60- to 90-second post.
Big Pharma goes through PR firms to connect with social media influencers. These influencers are required to disclose that they’re being paid, but many of them do not. People like Dr. Mike recommend medicine and vaccines yet claim Big Pharma is not paying them.
Dietitians for larger agencies, such as the American Beverage Association and the Canadian Sugar Institute, have gotten into trouble with the FTC for being paid to share dietary advice without disclosing their financial ties.
It’s often difficult to determine whether Big Pharma is influencing health information online, but examining the intention can sometimes help. Are they recommending fewer ultra-processed foods and chemical drugs, or more? Check out their funding. Is it coming from Big Food or Big Pharma? This is a big sign that they’re being influenced.

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 sleep
2:22 Avoiding screens for better sleep
4:28 Alcohol before sleep
8:05 Avoid these before bed
10:05 More sleep equals better sleep
1. 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 bed
Avoid 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 phone
Your 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 deprivation
Sleep 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 D
7:38 Immune system function
8:20 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.
