00:00 Introduction: 8 bad habits that destroy gut health 0:23 Fiber for gut health 1:29 Gut health tips and the best gut health foods 7:54 Antibiotics and the gut microbiome 13:00 Foods that ruin gut health
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!

Let’s talk about how to stop period pain or menstrual cramps. With period cramps, you experience cramping in the lower part of the body. It’s the uterus itself that’s cramping or contracting, which can cause a painful period. A great way to get instant relief from menstrual cramps is to try stretching. To do this stretch, you need to lay on your stomach and push your hands into the ground straightening your arms and stretching your back. However, to get to the root cause of the issue and get rid of menstrual cramps, we need to lower a chemical in the body called prostaglandins. People will typically use ibuprofen to lower prostaglandins. But ibuprofen has side effects. Thankfully, there are natural alternatives you can try to help lower prostaglandins. The best natural remedies for menstrual cramps: 1. Cinnamon 2. Vitamin D3, calcium, and magnesium 3. Omega-3 fatty acids (cod liver oil) Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Maltodextrin could be in the supplements you take. Use this simple test to find out—all you need is iodine. DATA: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/maltodextrin#:~:text=Maltodextrin%20has%20a%20high%20glycemic,advice%20of%20a%20healthcare%20practitioner. https://youtu.be/XnF9OczedMw https://youtu.be/5YMDOX71TeI https://youtu.be/59FatWCti94 0:00 Introduction: Hidden sugar in supplements 0:25 How to find hidden sugar 4:14 Maltodextrin explained 8:04 Learn more about maltodextrin! Did you know some health supplements contain hidden sugar, like maltodextrin? Today, I will share a simple test to find hidden sugar in your food and health supplements. Iodine mixed with water is a golden color. If you combine iodine with starch, it turns blue. When you add iodine to bread, for example, it turns blue. Or, if you put maltodextrin in water and add a few drops of iodine, the water will turn blue. My brand of electrolyte powder doesn’t have any sugar or maltodextrin in it. However, when we look at a competitor’s electrolyte powder that also claims it doesn’t have sugar or maltodextrin, it turns blue when iodine is added. Maltodextrin behaves like sugar, spiking insulin, but can be classified on a label as a carb and not a sugar. On the glycemic index, table sugar is at 65, and glucose is at 100—maltodextrin is between 105 and 185. Maltodextrin is the most common starch added to supplements and other products. If there is less than one gram of maltodextrin in a product per serving size, the company doesn’t even have to state it. Maltodextrin can also be found in flavorings, energy gels, sports powders, and even baby formulas. It’s important to be aware that some so-called keto-friendly products can also contain maltodextrin.

Here are the results. 0:00 Introduction: Thank you for filling out this survey! 0:20 Summarizing the YouTube censorship survey 5:32 YouTube’s reply 6:14 What can we do? Thank you so much for filling out the censorship survey. I really appreciate it—your opinions are so valuable to me. Over 50,000 people filled out this survey. The great majority of people overwhelmingly disagreed with this new change YouTube has made. People want to choose their own health journey, and they don’t need someone else to choose it for them. This is very important to people because they want to have alternative options to look into—natural, non-toxic options. People trust a reliable source of information for their health. A reliable source should have knowledge and experience in the subject. But, the great majority of medical professionals don’t have experience with the ketogenic diet, alternative healthcare, or nutrition. There is a large organization called the Alliance for Natural Health that is committed to fighting against free speech on health. This is an organization I’m happy to get behind, and I encourage you to do so as well. This is something that affects everyone. If you’re able to, consider donating to this cause. We need your help to fight this battle. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis and intermittent fasting.
