Whether you’re addicted to smoking, alcohol, porn, sugar, social media, or gambling, attempting to quit often makes matters worse, but why?

When you drink alcohol, for example, you feel happier and less stressed. Dopamine then tags alcohol as something that increases survival, and the more you consume, the stronger the drive.

Dopamine and glutamate are the hormones involved with addiction. When glutamate levels are too high, you may experience abnormal body sensations, agitation, pressure, compulsion, and obsession. When you ignore this, your fight or flight mechanism kicks in, and your symptoms worsen.

When you experience withdrawal symptoms as you’re trying to break an addiction, try the following steps:

1. Rate the intensity of the urge on a scale of 0-10
2. Locate or point to the affected part of your body
3. Describe it to yourself
4. Repeat

When you repeat the process, you'll notice that the intensity of the sensations decreases. This process helps you differentiate yourself from your addiction. The more you define your addiction and separate yourself from it, the less it will affect you.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) significantly reduces glutamate spikes. Try taking 600-2400 mg of NAC per day, depending on the severity of the problem.

Magnesium glycinate can increase GABA, which reduces cortisol and the fight-or-flight response. If you’re a smoker, vitamin B1 and potassium can help.

Changing your environment is vital to breaking the cycle of addiction. Problems with sleep, exercise, or blood sugar can make someone more vulnerable to developing an addiction. Coincidentally, increasing exercise, getting plenty of sleep, and following a low-carb diet can help break the cycle.

Oxytocin can act as a safety net when you’re experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Increase oxytocin with hugs, pets, bonding with friends and family, and L. Reuteri yogurt.

You’ve been lied to about age spots. Skin discoloration known as age spots isn’t just “sun spots" and is not simply the result of getting older. In this video, I’ll show you how to get rid of age spots naturally by addressing the root cause.

7:54 Clear skin tips

If you have age spots on your face and hands, you’re often offered lasers or creams that don’t work or make matters worse.
Hyperpigmentation, or age spots, is caused by melanin, the naturally occurring pigment in your skin that protects you from ultraviolet light and free radical damage. Dark spots on the skin are actually a protective mechanism.

Melanin spots are caused by uneven melanin production, which means there’s a problem with the regulator in the melanocyte, the cell that produces melanin. This is often caused by oxidative stress.

Glutathione regulates melanin and reduces oxidation. Without enough glutathione, you can’t regulate melanin, which can lead to melanin spots.
Low selenium can cause your glutathione levels to decline. Two Brazil nuts per day offer all the selenium you need. You can also get selenium from shellfish. High-quality animal protein is vital for glutathione production.

The demand for glutathione increases in menopausal women. If you’re dealing with chronic stress, you’ll also need more glutathione.

Copper is a trace mineral that helps your body make melanin. Too much or too little copper can cause issues with melanin production. Zinc can help regulate copper.

After working to increase your glutathione levels, it can take 30 days to 6 weeks to see improvement in your hyperpigmentation. In the meantime, try a vitamin C serum to address dark spots on the skin topically.

6:15 How to avoid fluoride toxicity

Is fluoride safe? Why are toxic ingredients in toothpaste and drinking water? Let’s take a look at some of the dangers of swallowing toothpaste and the toxic effects of fluoride.

Dental fluorosis is a common developmental defect caused by excessive fluoride exposure in children. It’s characterized by white spots and lines on the teeth due to damaged enamel. Around 40% of children will experience dental fluorosis when consuming water with optimal fluoride levels.

When you use fluoridated toothpaste or drink fluoridated water, it’s absorbed systemically into the body. Fluoride accumulates in certain tissues, such as the brain, thyroid, bones, and kidneys. Research has shown that higher fluoride exposure is associated with lower IQs in children.

You might assume that the fluoride added to your water is safer because it’s in the water supply, but this isn't true. The fluoride in our water supply is a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production!

Many industries repurpose industrial waste to boost profits, including the corn, sewage, petroleum, and seed oil industries.

Use a water filter certified for fluoride reduction to avoid fluoride toxicity and minimize exposure.

If you have a weak urine stream any time of day or night, this is for you. A weak urine stream isn’t typically caused by a urinary obstruction or a prostate problem. Discover what’s really causing your urine flow problems so you can fix the problem at the source.

0:45 Slow urine flow causes
3:29 Urine flow problems at night
4:47 Vitamin B1 to improve urine stream
7:28 Slow urine flow after menopause

Men are told that a weak urine flow is a prostate problem, and women are told that it’s caused by aging or childbirth, but what’s the truth?

If you wake up with a weak urine flow that improves after you drink coffee, this is not a prostate problem. This is related to a problem with your autonomic nervous system and bladder.

A weak urine stream can also be caused by a weak detrusor muscle. This can happen if you’re fatigued, sit frequently, or have insulin resistance. If you’re constantly stressed, your bladder problems might be related to issues with your parasympathetic nervous system.

If your weak urine flow only occurs at night or in the early morning, this is related to your body’s circadian rhythm.

Bethanechol is often used to treat urine flow problems. This medication primarily affects the autonomic nervous system. Vitamin B1 can naturally affect the nervous system to help with a weak urine flow.

Vitamin B1 has many benefits, but you should also focus on correcting the reason you’re deficient in the first place. Following a low-carb diet, reducing your alcohol intake, and intermittent fasting can help correct insulin resistance and improve urine flow problems. Vitamin B1 can also help reduce stress levels.

A weak urine stream after menopause could be related to estrogen. Estrogen greatly influences nitric oxide, which can affect vasodilation and blood flow. Sun exposure and exercise can help. Addressing your indoor lighting and sunlight exposure frequency can also help address urine flow problems associated with your circadian rhythm.
