5:04 The healthiest foods

The healthiest food on Earth isn’t just a food; it teaches the immune system, trains the gut microbiome, and even adapts to your environment. Nothing else comes close. It contains immune cells, hormones, and even stem cells.

Breast milk is the healthiest food on Earth, the best food for gut health, and one of the best foods for the immune system. Half of the mother’s immune system is given to the infant through breast milk. If you were breastfed, you have a much stronger immune system and a decreased risk of autoimmune disease and allergies.

Adults can take colostrum to strengthen the immune system and support gut microbiome health. Colostrum supports the gut barrier and protects against leaky gut.

Infant formula is an ultra-processed food for babies and is the first ultra-processed food a child is exposed to. It provides the baby with calories without considering their quality.

RFK and HHS have been looking into heavy metals in baby food. Some of the ingredients in baby formulas are like sponges for heavy metals, which can have devastating health consequences for babies. Infant formulas typically contain industrial seed oils, refined sugars, synthetic vitamins, and processed protein.

Fermented dairy, such as kefir, yogurt, and raw milk cheese, is the best alternative to breast milk and one of the healthiest foods you can eat as an adult. The protein in fermented dairy is broken down, so it’s very easy to digest. It’s a potent immunity booster that can help prevent an overactive immune system and contains vital nutrients such as vitamin K2, calcium, vitamins B2 and B12, folate, and biotin.

Fermented dairy is one of the best probiotic foods, helping to reseed the gut and create a better environment in your gut microbiome. It also increases T-reg cells to prevent immune overreaction.

If you have a fatty liver, an inflamed liver, or cirrhosis, your liver won’t be able to properly fuel the brain at night. Insulin resistance is the most common reason the liver cannot supply the brain with glucose at night.

If you have a liver problem, you’ll have massive blood sugar swings throughout the night. When insulin lowers this excess blood sugar, adrenaline quickly mobilizes stored sugar, which wakes you up.

The first blood sugar swing is caused by cortisol, and often occurs between midnight and 1 AM. To fix this problem and allow cortisol to spike at the right time, morning sun exposure is vital. You should also begin turning down your inside lights about 3 hours before bed to avoid stimulating more cortisol. Darkness stimulates the production of melatonin, which helps you sleep.

As we age, we lose sleep pressure. Try the following sleep tips to help restore this pressure:
1. Exercise regularly
2. Avoid stimulants
3. Take magnesium glycinate and zinc in the evening

Insulin resistance is often the underlying cause of liver problems, but they can also be caused by consuming seed oils, sugar, and starch. A diet low in choline and sulfur, late-night snacking, and alcohol can also damage the liver.
Some people have sleep problems when they start the keto diet while their brain adjusts from running on glucose to ketones. If this happens to you, try lowering your carbs more gradually.
Try these simple sleep tips to sleep better and stop waking up at night:

1. Stop eating 4 hours before bed
2. Increase choline in the diet: egg yolks, liver, grass-fed meat, salmon, cruciferous vegetables
3. Increase sulfur in the diet: garlic, onion, cruciferous vegetables
4. Support gallbladder health: arugula, dandelion greens, bitter foods, TUDCA
5. Follow a low-carb diet
6. Lower blood sugar: low-carb, ACV, vitamin B1, magnesium, potassium, high-quality protein

Is vitamin D safe to take at high doses, or will it cause toxicity? Vitamin D fear is common, but what about the fear of vitamin D deficiency? Discover the vitamin D truth you’ve been searching for, and the real reason why there’s so much vitamin D misinformation.

0:55 Is vitamin D a vitamin?
1:41 Vitamin D explained
3:03 How much vitamin D should I take?
3:30 What’s behind the vitamin D controversy?
7:46 Vitamin D toxicity
8:05 Vitamin D deficiency symptoms

Historically, humans were exposed to daily, intense, unfiltered sunlight without any sunscreen. We’ve been convinced that the sun is dangerous and that taking too much vitamin D is risky.

Vitamin D is not really a vitamin! You cannot get nearly enough vitamin D from food. When you’re exposed to the sun, your skin makes vitamin D with the help of cholesterol. Vitamin D acts like a hormone and turns on over 1000 different genes!

There are two systems of vitamin D. The first system supports bone and calcium regulation, and requires the liver and kidneys for conversion into its active form. The autocrine or paracrine system is rarely talked about. Through this second system, inactive vitamin D bypasses the kidneys and liver and is converted into its active form inside the cell. This system of vitamin D supports the immune system, brain, muscles, nervous system, breast tissue, colon, and prostate. This system needs 8000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D every day, while the other system only requires 600 to 800 IU every 3 weeks.

Vitamin D can significantly reduce cancer risk, posing a threat to the cancer drug industry, which makes over 300 billion dollars in revenue each year. Similarly, the Coimbra protocol is very effective at reversing autoimmune disease, which attacks another multi-billion-dollar industry. Vitamin D has also been shown to be beneficial for diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression.

Vitamin D toxicity is rare and would require extremely high doses of vitamin D taken for many months. The main problem associated with vitamin D toxicity is too much calcium in the blood, which can lead to kidney stones.

Vitamin D deficiency is incredibly common and can lead to immune suppression, decreased cognitive function, increased risk of cancer, and more. Vitamin D research often ignores the important cofactors magnesium and vitamin K2, which protect you from excess calcium accumulation.

Is cholesterol bad? Is low cholesterol safe? In this video, we’ll cover common cholesterol misinformation, how cholesterol was demonized, and the cholesterol truth you need to know now for better health.

0:21 Cholesterol truth
1:49 Two types of cholesterol
3:19 What causes high cholesterol?
3:44 Statin drug side effects
5:57 Cholesterol and heart disease
6:34 The problem with low cholesterol

Our bodies make 3000 mg of cholesterol each day! Babies are born with higher cholesterol, and our brain is composed of it. Cholesterol is vital for our cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D, bile salts, repair, and immunity.

Cholesterol isn’t a poison; it’s an essential building block! When a doctor measures your cholesterol, they’re measuring the cholesterol in the blood, not what’s deep in the cells.

There are two types of cholesterol: HDL and LDL. HDL carries cholesterol from the cells back to the liver for recycling, while LDL delivers cholesterol to the cells. There are two types of LDL cholesterol: small, dense LDL and large, buoyant LDL. Only an advanced lipid profile can discern the difference.

Small, dense LDL particles can cause inflammation and other problems, but this typically occurs only when your glucose is high or you have insulin resistance. If you’re on a low-carb diet and you don’t have insulin resistance, you’ll have more large, buoyant LDL. If you have high levels of large, buoyant LDL, it is not pathogenic!

Cholesterol is a building block of the precursor of cortisol, so if you’re dealing with stress, it could be the reason your cholesterol is high. Testosterone is also made from cholesterol, so if you take a drug to lower cholesterol, your testosterone levels may suffer.

If you have low cholesterol, you won’t produce enough bile. This will interfere with your ability to absorb fat, and you also won’t have enough raw material to make vitamin D.

High cholesterol is not a disease! If your cholesterol is high, it’s important to understand why. Consuming refined sugar and starch can raise your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Inflammation and your body’s repair needs can also increase your levels.

Low cholesterol in older adults is associated with higher rates of death from all causes. Low cholesterol is linked to lowered immunity, depression, memory, and hormone issues. Cholesterol naturally rises in the winter and decreases in the summer. This could be related to your need for vitamin D.
