Learn from my mistakes to avoid years of misery! 1. 100 vitamins a day I thought that the solution to chronic fatigue syndrome, severe insomnia, arthritis, and other chronic illnesses was to just take more supplements. Vitamins and supplements will only be effective if you also maintain a healthy diet. 2. Colon detox A colon detox also flushes out good bacteria and electrolytes, and often involves juice. You shouldn’t do any cleanse or fasting program that involves juice, as the body can’t get into ketosis because of the sugar. Herbal detoxes release toxicity, which creates an immune reaction, leaving you sick for weeks. Get on the right eating plan, focusing on animal protein, vegetables, and probiotics for better gut health. 3. I’ll eat healthy when I graduate In college, I was living on carbs, drinking strong coffee, and feeling tired all the time. Much of this fatigue was just due to blood sugar fluctuations. I eventually discovered the healthy version of the ketogenic diet, which turned things around. 4. Right shoulder pain Right shoulder pain is almost always caused by referred pain from the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. 5. Disregarding intermittent fasting Snacking and frequent eating keep your insulin high. Our bodies were not designed to graze! Intermittent fasting is one of the top health tips that changed my life! I immediately lost weight and inflammation. 6. Kale shakes Kale shakes are okay, but excess fiber isn’t always the best option for gut health. 7. Magnesium deficiency Magnesium can help prevent kidney stones and muscle spasms, and also supports a good night's sleep.

I'm 72. Used to be alcoholic. I liked food, but in the end it was just blotting paper. Gave up a bit over three yeard ago. Decided to give my liver some help. Found Eric, and never looked back. Got diagnosed with breast cancer 18 months ago ( I'm male ) and got even more serious about diet. Healthier now than I was at 60. OK, I've had some surgeries related to the cancer. If I was still like I was 5 years ago I doubt I would have survived. Never too late, folks,

YES! you're 100% correct! I ate 1 or 2 meals a day for 20 years, sometimes I was working so much I'd forget to eat. I had the energy of a 10 year old, I weighed 170 lbs (5'9") I had about 8% BF. The a friend into holistic medicine and diet told me to eat 6-8x a day small meals, take vitamins, eat lemons, don't eat meat. I went up to 195lbs, felt like crap, fell asleep all the time. After 20 years I went back to 1 meal a day, 100% grass fed beef often, eggs, pork, fish,chicken, little or no carbs, lots of veggies and raspberries, no sugar, no HFCS, no chips etc. I have cheat days, ice cream, pasta etc. Back to 170 lbs from a 205 lbs high with preDB. Now I have energy I work 8-10 hours a day, I'm 67. Thanks for your video.
