In this video, we’re going to talk about vitamins and supplements. Sometimes, health supplements are discredited because they’re not regulated by the FDA the same way as pharmaceuticals, but it's important to understand the relationship between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies. People often become employees of the FDA to secure a much higher-paying career at a pharmaceutical company. This plays a major role in the approval of drugs. Many drugs are approved without enough evidence of safety. Overall, supplements are generally recognized as safe. In 1989, a dozen people allegedly died from taking L-tryptophan. L-tryptophan is an amino acid that helps you sleep, has an anti-depressive factor, and curbs cravings. The problem arose from a contaminated batch of L-tryptophan that was made using genetically modified bacteria. There was a recall, and the FDA banned the supplement for 16 years. Synthetic vitamins are much cheaper than natural vitamins but do not have the same effects on the body. Around ⅔ of vitamins come from raw materials made in China, all of which are synthetic industrially made compounds. There are several reasons why we need vitamins and supplements and why some people need them more than others. The following factors will increase the need for vitamins and supplements: • Food is grown in poor soils or hydroponically • Genetics • Chronic inflammation • Frequent exercise • Seed oil consumption • Grain consumption • Veganism • Fasting We have a very high need for some vitamins and minerals that require a large consumption of certain foods to achieve adequate intake. For example, you need 4700 mg of potassium each day. Some deficiencies can be dangerous. Deficiencies in folate can mimic the same damage to your DNA as radiation. #keto #ketodiet #weightloss #ketolifestyle Thanks for watching! I hope this explains the truth about supplements.

Im in my mid 20s . Ive had asthma, sciatica ,digestive issues, insomnia covid and many more illnesses. What ive learned is 1.most doctors just want to drain my pockets. 2. Diet and exercise is king 3. Your mindset can keep you back, sometimes you can heal but if you keep THINKING youre sick , the symptoms won’t leave you. This happened with my sciatica. 4. A good nights sleep is also KING.

I was diagnosed with diabetes fourteen years ago. Under the care of Kaiser Permanente my diabetes got worse, my A1C's stayed steady at thirteen's. My blood sugar in the morning was 258-358 on average. I was on four med's metformin, lisinopril, pioglitazone and glimepiride. They also had me on insulin, seventy units per day. Nothing got better. I gained eighty pounds of weight. When I turned sixty five I was able to escape Kaiser and found your web site. Three years of your advice later. My morning blood sugar averages (98-110). later in the day after a work out as low as (70). Still the same med's but from Walgreen's and NO INSULIN! A1C's in the low eight's. Slowly losing weight and getting better. Keto-fasting and exercise. Works for me! Thank You!
