hey guys today we’re going to talk about

the common threads between the real big

healthcare problems out there

heart disease cancer Alzheimer’s

autoimmune diseases I’ve talked a lot

about diabetes we’ll touch on that a

little bit and there’s other ones but

these are the main ones so let’s first

talk about heart disease what happens in

the blood vessel of someone with heart

disease as they start developing plaque

okay and the plaque is built up with

cholesterol and the person has usually

high LDL and that’s called bad

cholesterol supposedly bad cholesterol

but in reality LDL is low-density

lipoprotein okay it has cholesterol in

it but this is a protein okay and

there’s this huge focus on cholesterol

but not any problem with protein if we

take a look at a plaque it’s composed of

cholesterol calcium and proteins okay

but people don’t say to avoid protein

and they don’t tell you to avoid calcium

either right even though calcium makes

up this plaque they really target this

thing called cholesterol now the thing

you need to know is before this piece of

plaque develops there’s always something

that starts it okay and it’s usually

some inflammatory situation going on

there’s some type of damage in the wall

of the artery in the heart okay and then

it starts to build up and one of the

best tests to do for the heart is called

a coronary artery calcium test so the

coronary artery calcium test is way more

accurate in detecting heart disease than

LDL or cholesterol or anything because

they’re looking at the calcification so

with heart disease we have something

that destroys the wall of the artery

usually it could be any number of things

it could be an infection from a microbe

it could be free iron in the body it

could be some type of oxidant it could

be a lot of sugar which is very very

common like high blood sugar and

anything that oxidate s’ this wall of

the artery that starts the process of

inflammation and starts building up this

plaque okay then we get to something

called Alzheimer’s in this situation you

have

amyloid plaque II okay Emily plaque II

is a type of protein okay so this is not

coming from consuming too much protein

or anything like that this comes from

first having damage to the brain okay it

could be from an infection it could be

again from some oxidative thing that

damages the brain so it could be from a

chemical it could be from a whole bunch

of things okay then you get the

inflammation then would you have happen

is the replacement of the damaged piece

of the brain for amyloid protein so the

body is trying to heal or protect or

trying to patch something up it’s the

same thing with heart disease this

plaque you know is considered something

really evil but it’s just trying to help

the body heal this original wound right

here

same thing with Alzheimer’s what’s

unique about Alzheimer’s is that you

have cells that just can’t take up

insulin so they’re very hypoglycemic and

the the cells need certain glucose or

fuel like ketones so if you actually

start off the the brain cells of their

fuel source they start dying and you

start getting Alzheimer’s okay so that’s

what’s unique that’s different with this

thing right here cancer because in

cancer you have first stages damage to

the mitochondria from some free radical

thing or oxidant like could be free iron

it could be radiation it could be a

chemical in the environment of pesticide

there’s all these things called

carcinogens right so it creates damage

within the mitochondria then as a way to

salvage the mitochondria which is Energy

Factory the body shifts to a different

type of metabolism okay it’s like an

ancient pathway that we don’t normally

use but divided and switches to this

thing at this level I don’t want to give

you the name of it and explain that

because that opens up a whole dialogue

but just realize that the body’s

shifting to a different way that it

metabolizes energy it’s going to now run

on pure sugar or glutamine which is a

very specific type of an amino acid okay

these are the two types of fuel now the

thing that’s interesting

with cancer is it spreads and follows

areas of inflammation so it actually

gravitates to areas of old injury as

well or areas where you had trauma which

is another interesting thing so cancer

basically lives on sugar and it can also

live on this protein but in Alzheimer’s

there’s just no sugar to live on anymore

the body can’t receive it so we have

like a severe state of insulin

resistance they don’t really know

exactly what happens but my guess is

that the blood-brain barrier is so

insulin resistant the fuel can’t get

into the brain of course another mode of

fuel would be ketones but they don’t

really tell you about that because then

you can actually the cells can take up

ketones and they don’t really need the

glucose then we have something called

autoimmune okay where the body is

developing antibodies which are against

itself so you have a situation where our

own immune system is attacking our own

organs or glands now that’s weird isn’t

it and it’s an inflammation as a result

from this immune war that creates the

collateral damage like in rheumatoid

arthritis for example or MS you have

your own body is destroying everything

in its path way now there’s many

different theories as to the cause of

this but it makes sense that the body is

trying to kill something off that it

doesn’t need like some microbe or

something that shouldn’t be there and

there’s this misdirection and the body

ends up attacking itself now another

interesting point about autoimmune is

there’s usually always in a stress event

that occurs right before a person

develops these antibodies which is

interesting the loss of a loved one they

have this trauma and then they get this

autoimmune disease okay it’s just an

interesting point so I think what’s

happening it’s an overwhelming stress to

this entire system usually probably the

adrenal glands and then there’s some

loss of control there and the body tags

the wrong thing that’s what I think

that’s happening I don’t know it’s it’s

just my guess at that but an autoimmune

you also

have amyloid plaque II know there’s a

condition called amyloidosis in which

this plaquing okay goes into different

organs like the kidney the liver the

heart the pancreas cell okay and that’s

what actually can even cause diabetes as

well so again a common thing is this

protein proteins involved in autoimmune

there’s protein involved in heart

disease there’s protein clacking

involving Alzheimer’s so it’s it’s

another common thread and you have of

course inflammation inflammation is like

the the common theme between all of

these conditions alright so I’m gonna

give you some key things six things that

you can do based on this data to kind of

prevent these issues number one you want

to eat foods that give protective

factors okay

there are certain foods like cruciferous

for example that can actually protect

the mitochondria

there’s foods high in vitamin b1 that

protect the mitochondria especially from

diabetes and blood sugar issues there

are foods like vitamin C there are

antioxidants that protect the heart

vitamin E to protect this right here

there are foods that protect the brain

there are foods that protect the immune

system okay so you want to start eating

foods cruciferous grass-fed foods with

healthy fats those are very very

important avocados cod liver oil for

example it’s really good number two you

want to keep your stress as low as

possible so if you’re in a situation

where it’s just overwhelming do

something quick to minimize that don’t

be in a situation where the stress goes

on and on for months and months and

years and years I see that all the time

because that could potentially set you

up for this right here number three keep

your Sugar’s low why because the high

levels of sugar is what starts this

whole thing right here and also cancer

lives on sugar too much sugar can

actually increase my packing all right

so we want to keep the sugar very low do

low carb that’s called healthy keto and

the four keep your vitamins

so you want to eat foods that are very

vitamin rich nutrient rich mineral-rich

increase the quality of those nutrients

very important in protecting the tissues

number five in termina fasting

why because intimate fasting is the best

tool to get rid of inflammation okay so

you can at least take that piece of the

puzzle out of the picture if you do if'

very therapeutic the body goes into an

interesting shift in that it starts to

heal and repair when you do in a minute

fasting it’s fascinating you would think

that if you stop eating so frequently

you would go the reverse but it doesn’t

number six gut health and this is the

last thing I’m going to talk about

because you have way more microbes in

and around your body then you have your

actual cells and it’s the balance of

these microbes that can either really

help you or hurt you depending on what

kind of balance that you have and

especially when you’re doing with the

immune system you want to make sure your

gut health you have enough probiotics

you have enough fiber from the

vegetables to feed the microbes to

actually support a healthy immune system
