Today we’re going to talk about the relationship between your friendly gut bacteria and your immune system.  There are trillions of microbes that live in and around your body. This is called the microbiome. You give these microbes a place to live, and in exchange, they give you immune protection, nutrients, and other beneficial things.   • 70% of the immune system is the microbiome  • There are over 10,000 different species of friendly bacteria in and around the body  • 99% of your microbiome is non-pathogenic   • The majority of microbes are living in the gut  When you have an imbalance in gut ba

Today we’re going to talk about how keto can potentially help protect your immune system, especially when it comes to the coronavirus.  99.2% of all deaths from COVID-19 are associated with metabolic syndrome. With this syndrome, your immune system is compromised big time.  Those who do not have other health issues have a 0.8% chance of death. If a person has pre-existing health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, a heart condition, or cancer, the risk of death significantly increases.  It’s possible that insulin resistance is really behind some cases of health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, certain hea

As you age, your risk of viral and bacterial infections increases dramatically.  This can happen because your microbiome changes. Your microbiome refers to all of the microbes living in your body. These microbes make up a great majority of your immune system, but they do a lot of other things as well.  As you age, you have less diversity of your microbiome, and you have more pathogenic bacteria. So, now you have a situation where you have more pathogens and less friendly bacteria. This can make you more susceptible to getting infections. You al

Today I’m going to share with you what I would eat if I had the COVID-19 coronavirus.  Pre-existing conditions significantly increase your susceptibility to getting the COVID-19 virus and experiencing complications from the virus. These pre-existing conditions could include:  • Diabetes   • Heart disease   • High blood pressure   • Insulin resistance   • Obesity  All of the conditions above have something in common—high insulin. To help with a high insulin situation, you would want to consume a low carb, moderate protein, high-fat diet (healthy keto).  Other foods I would consume

Ramadan lasts between 29 and 30 days. During Ramadan, you’re required to not eat or drink anything from just before sunrise to just after sunset. This is a dry fast, which means you’re not drinking any water.  What you eat before and after you fast is going to make or break your success. Having junk food or refined carbohydrates before and after your fast could inhibit some of the effects you could achieve from fasting. However, low-carb, keto-friendly foods may be much more beneficial to have during your meals. Ketones are even an

Today we’re going to talk about the huge connection between vitamin D and autoimmune diseases.  The thymus gland is an immune gland that produces a very specific T cell called the T regulatory cell or T suppressor cell. One of the main jobs of this important T cell is to prevent autoimmune diseases.  An autoimmune disease is tissue that has antibodies against itself. It’s an inappropriate immune response.  One of the main functions of a T regulatory cell is something called central tolerance—tolerating the body tissue and not attacking it.  A big function of the thymus gland is determining the self from a foreign enemy

But, it’s actually something normal that your immune system creates as a defense mechanism against certain infections. A fever can be a good thing that you don’t necessarily want to get rid of right away.  The 7 benefits of a fever: 1. Restricts the reproduction of pathogens  2. Decreases the time of infection  3. Mobilizes white blood cells 4. Enhanced phagocytosis 5. Decreased endotoxin effect 6. Increased growth of T cells  7. A decrease in mortality rate  In some cases, what you might want to do is actually enh

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about natural vs synthetic vitamins and the five reasons why you should avoid synthetic vitamins.  Synthetic vitamins vs natural vitamins: Synthetic vitamins and natural vitamins are not the same things. In nature, vitamins come in complexes. When you buy a natural vitamin, it can also come as an individual part of the complex, and it’s much better than the synthetic version. But there is a time and a place for the use of synthetic vitamins.  For example, a short term detoxification program may call for synthetic vitamins. However, you do not want to use synthetic vitamins for maintenance. The ot

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about absent-mindedness and how to improve absent-mindedness.  Absent-mindedness is basically a lack of awareness. If you’re absent-minded, you might be forgetful and easily distracted. It could be happening because your brain cells are tired and starving for energy.  Your neurons are normally dependent on glucose or lactate for fuel. But, when you consume those fuels, they have a side-effect. They can potentially cause cognitive dysfunction and absent-mindedness.  But, your body can use another type of fuel called ketones. Ketones suppress glucose utilization. If there are ketones and gluco

I did have a trace mineral product in the past that was a liquid, but this is a new and improved version. The old product, being a liquid, could get messy. I also wanted to add some additional trace minerals to this product to make it even better.  The most important trace mineral that I wanted to add in a higher amount is zinc. But, if you take one trace mineral over a long period of time without the other trace minerals with it, this can cause deficiencies in the other trace minerals. So, I added a few key trace minerals in a blend of all of the other trac

The infection fatality rate is basically the percentage of how many people who were infected with COVID-19 died. It’s the number of infections divided by the deaths from the infection.  Recent evidence indicates that COVID-19 may not be as deadly as previously thought. This really has to do with a lack of testing.  It was thought that about 1 million people were infected with COVID-19. But, new evidence suggests that this number is way too low by a factor of 10x, and possibly even up to 30x.  The coronavirus has a goal of getting into the cell and quickly

Forest bathing was used in Japan in the 80s for physical and mental health. It’s about getting out in nature and taking in the forest atmosphere.  Basically, you’re out in the forest, and you’re breathing in certain chemicals or essential oils from the trees. There seems to be a very interesting immune benefit from being exposed to certain essential oils emitted from the trees in the forest. The group of compounds we’re talking about is called phytoncides.  This chemical could significantly increase your natural killer cells. The natural killer cells ar

I’m not against protecting yourself against the coronavirus or any virus for that matter. Yes, masks and washing your hands are incredibly important. But, here’s the thing, not all microbes are harmful.  Friendly microbes are not pathogenic. Pathogens are microbes that can cause disease. A huge part of your immune system is friendly microbes. These microbes live all over your body on the inside and out. When you over-sterilize your body, this can lower your immune system and make you more susceptible to infections.  A few benefits of your friendly microbes:  • Certain microbes make acid that make

Today we're going to talk about a certain study that has been circulating the news regarding hydroxychloroquine.  According to the news, this study found that hydroxychloroquine was not effective and was even associated with a higher death rate.   • This study wasn't even published yet.   • This study wasn't peer-reviewed.  • This study was a retrospective study. A retrospective study means that they're using data or events that happened in the past. This was done in a VA hospital. They took the data from the patient's charts and summarized it. This study included 368 patients, and they compared three groups of patients.  The first group was treated with hydroxychloro

There are actually all sorts of diseases related to latitude. For example, if you live in the northern hemisphere, you have a higher risk of getting:  • Colorectal cancer  • MS  • Diabetes type 1  • Breast cancer  • Celiac disease  • Lung cancer An interesting report states that “low population mortality from COVID-19 in countries south of latitude 35 degrees north supports vitamin D as a factor determining severity.” Nordic countries are an exception likely because they consume a lot of fatty fish and take vi

You can think of the lymphatic system as a back-up drainage system to prevent excess fluid retention. But, this is just a minor function. The big function is the activation of the immune system.   One of the purposes of the lymph nodes is to keep a pathogen from spreading throughout the body. You will have an entire war going on within the lymph nodes if there is a pathogenic microbe. A person has hundreds of lymph nodes throughout the body. Inside of a lymph node, there are lymphocytes. There are three primary lymphocytes: 1. Natural killer cells (kill

There is a significant connection between zinc, the immune system, and especially your lungs.  Potential situations that could occur if you’re deficient in zinc:  • Increased duration of lung infections   • Diminished T cell function  • Increased cytokines  • Increased risk of lung infections  • People with conditions like COPD are typically deficient in zinc  • Increased risk for ARDS, upper respiratory infections, and lower respiratory infections  • Increased susceptibility of the lungs to ventilator-induced injury&n

MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. This is a type of fat in coconut oil. There are several things in coconut oil that are anti-fungal and antimicrobial. MCT can potentially reduce candida in the body.  Candida normally lives in the body and doesn’t create much harm. But, an overgrowth of candida can start causing problems. Candida is a cousin to mold and is related to fungus.  An overgrowth of candida can cause:   • White tongue   • Burning mouth   • Cotton mouth   • Dry cracked skin in the corners
