This Fat Is SUPER DANGEROUS

In this podcast, I’m going to share some weight loss tips to help you achieve a flat stomach. Fat storage is a survival mechanism, but there is a limitation to how much fuel can be stored. Once your body is out of storage, fat is placed around the organs. This type of fat is called visceral fat. If visceral fat is stored for too long, it spills into your organs. This is called ectopic fat. The good news is that when you burn fat, this is the first to go. It’s not the number of calories that caus...

Which Is Healthier: Juice or Soda?

In this podcast, I’m going to compare juice and soda to determine which one is healthier. People often think juice is healthier because it’s “natural” and comes from fruit.

Chemicals like ethyl butyrate are used to enhance the flavor. Most juice in the grocery store is pasteurized, sterilizing it and kill...

How Grocery Stores SCAM YOU!!

Today, I’m going to tell you how supermarkets get you to spend more money and control your food shopping experience. The majority of grocery store profits are not from markups on products! Around 50% to 75% of grocery store profit is from real estate, known as slotting fees. Food companies or brands spend money to have their products placed in prime locations in the grocery store.

What Happens if You STOP Using Your Cell Phone Before Bed for 14 Days

Let's talk about how to fix your sleep. The majority of the population uses their phones before bed. Cell phones and other mobile devices expose you to blue light, which powerfully suppresses melatonin, the hormone that helps you sleep.

Blue light blockers or blue light glasses can help reduce blue light exposure. EMF stands for electromagnet...

VITAMIN D IS WORTHLESS

Today, I’m going to share some important information about vitamin D. The VITAL study, which involved 26,000 people, concluded that vitamin D supplementation is essentially worthless.

REAL Reason You’re Not Losing Weight

Today, I’m going to share some of the not-so-common reasons why you might be struggling to lose weight. Insulin is at the heart of a slow metabolism. Insulin is triggered by sugar and other foods that act as sugar in the body. Ultra-processed foods like chips and Cheez-Its have 0 sugars but contain carbs with very little fiber. They also contain starches—strings of sugars connected together. Starches act like sugar in the body, but worse! They are higher on the glycemic index, so they cause a hi...

Milk Can Kill You?!

Many people believe that raw milk is the number one cause of pathogens in dairy, but is it the raw milk itself causing the problem, or is it contaminated milk?

It's also important to understand that E. coli is not just found in raw milk but can be present in pasteurized milk, too. In fact, we all have E. coli bacteria in our gut right now, which helps with digestion. The problem ...
