Compare natural vs. synthetic vitamins, and why it matters here: https://drbrg.co/4e51Awf
Did you know an 18,000-person clinical trial involving beta-carotene and lung cancer was stopped early after participants taking the supplement had worse outcomes?
Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, but the beta-carotene used in the study was synthetic. Get beta-carotene from food sources for the best results and to avoid potential negative side effects.
Synthetic vitamin E may be okay short term, but with long-term use it can contribute to oxidative stress. Synthetic vitamin A can also create problems, including competing with vitamin D at the receptor level, increasing the risk of birth defects during pregnancy, and increasing the risk of bone fractures. Get vitamin A from foods like egg yolks and cod liver oil.
Other synthetic vitamins and supplements to avoid include:
• Pyridoxine hydrochloride
• Calcium carbonate
• Ergocalciferol
Too much iron can also be damaging to the body, so focus on food sources of iron when possible to avoid consuming too much.

Both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis show up in the joints, but the problem isn’t necessarily coming from the joints themselves.
Osteoarthritis is closely linked to metabolic health, while rheumatoid arthritis involves the immune system and gut health. Antibodies involved in rheumatoid arthritis often originate in the mucus layer of the gut.
Research has shown that drinking just one soda per day may significantly increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Other foods, including modern wheat, corn, and conventional dairy, can also contribute to gut inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is strongly linked to metabolic health. Foods such as sugar, starches, and seed oils can negatively affect metabolic health and contribute to arthritis and joint inflammation.
A carnivore diet can help reduce gut inflammation and arthritis symptoms. It’s also vital to get plenty of the key nutrients that support joint and metabolic health. This includes vitamin D3, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin K2.

Red light therapy may support your mitochondria, the tiny energy factories inside your cells, and help them produce more energy.
Potential red light therapy benefits include:
• Increased cellular energy production
• Reduced oxidative stress
• Increased nitric oxide to support circulation
You don’t necessarily need an expensive red light panel to see benefits. A significant portion of sunlight is made up of red and infrared light.
Red light targets superficial tissues like the skin and hair follicles, while near-infrared light penetrates deeper to support muscles and joints.
Research has shown positive results using red light therapy for hair loss, knee osteoarthritis, fatigue associated with fibromyalgia, cognitive decline, and more.
Check with your healthcare professional before using red light therapy, especially if you have an existing medical condition or take medications or supplements that increase light sensitivity.

In a clinical trial involving 120 healthy people, participants were given omeprazole. None had heartburn or acid reflux at the start of the trial, yet afterward, nearly half developed heartburn, indigestion, or acid reflux.
Acid reflux isn’t always a problem of too much stomach acid. In fact, many people with GERD and acid reflux may actually have low stomach acid.
Antacids aren’t meant to be taken long term; however, many people use them for extended periods. Side effects associated with long-term use can include nutritional deficiencies, anxiety, depression, and more.
Overeating, a hiatal hernia, and high-sugar diets can also contribute to heartburn and acid reflux.
Betaine hydrochloride can help acidify the stomach and may help reduce GERD symptoms. Zinc carnosine can also support digestive health if you’re dealing with an ulcer or stomach inflammation.
