In this podcast, we’re going to look at some of the signs and causes of dementia and things you can do to combat dementia. The first sign of dementia can occur as early as ten years before you have any cognitive changes. It takes many years for dementia to develop, and sensory changes that involve the loss of smell and vision often occur well before any other symptoms. Here are 10 of the most common early signs of dementia: 1. Sensory problems (loss of smell) 2. Sensory problems (vision) 3. Slee...
Jan 25, 2024•13 min•Transcript available on Metacast In this podcast, I’m going to share a recipe for a powerful, natural antibiotic drink that you can make at home. The overuse of antibiotics is a major issue in the United States. Overuse of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance. This means that the microbes that are not killed by the antibiotics become stronger and resistant. When you take antibiotics again, they don’t work as well anymore. Antibiotics do not kill yeast or viruses, but they do kill good microbes that keep the yeast at bay. ...

Jan 16, 2024•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today, we’re going to take a look at how salt can effectively get rid of bacteria, fungi, yeast, and mold in the body. Salt causes water to move out of the cell, eliminating these pathogens through dehydration. Salt thins mucus with this same mechanism. Salt removes water from the mucus, making it thinner so that it can be more easily expelled from the body. To eliminate mucus using salt, dissolve a teaspoon of sea salt (not table salt) in a glass of water. Drink or gargle the salt water. This e...

This means there must be an issue with the sensors in the bladder or the valve of th...
Jan 12, 2024•7 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today, we’re going to take a look at vitamin B1, also known as thiamine. Vitamin B1 is intimately involved with the function of the mitochondria, so if you’re deficient, low energy is one of the first symptoms. The more carbs and sugar you consume, the more B1 you need. This is because vitamin B1 is necessary to burn glucose. Even on a ketogenic diet, you'll still burn glucose for certain functions of the body. Vitamin B1 is water soluble, so it isn't stored in the body for long periods....
Jan 11, 2024•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today, I’m going to tell you how you can easily get rid of puffy eyes. Puffy eyes are also referred to as eye bags or periorbital edema. Puffy eyes are often treated medically with steroids, antihistamines, and other medications. Cucumbers and undereye patches can provide temporary relief but do not solve the problem. High levels of sodium can cause puffy eyes, and the kidneys are often involved, but the root cause of puffy eyes is too much sugar in the bloodstream. When you have too much sugar ...
