so let’s discuss bariatric surgery in

relationship to vitamin deficiencies so

many people are getting the surgery and

seeing benefit with their diabetes now

why does it help diabetes well there are

two ways to increase insulin one is by

consuming a lot of carbohydrates but the

other is by consuming food in general

because every time you eat you trigger

insulin through a hormone in the small

intestine called GIP gastric inhibitory

peptide so you trigger this hormone

which then increases insulin so there’s

something in your small intestine that

has the ability to trigger insulin even

if you’re not consuming insulin it’s

just food in general so when they do

surgery to your small intestine you have

a less ability to trigger insulin in

general and your insulin goes down now

is that healthy on one hand it’s healthy

because it’s going to reduce insulin but

on the other you’re artificially

altering that part of your body and it

comes with a package because now we have

an altered digestive system that it’s

more difficult to fulfill the nutrient

requirements and we’re gonna have less

absorptive surface of your digestive

system to pull in those nutrients the

most common vitamin and mineral

deficiencies with a gastric bypass would

be vitamin b1 b12 vitamin E vitamin D

and copper okay these are the most

common and then they can lead to all

sorts of additional symptoms this could

be with your skin heart this could be

bone pain calcium metabolism overall

mood immune system this one can be

neurological so could this one this one

could relate to anemia this one can

relate to so many things from energy to

heart so if you already had bariatric

surgery this is what I’m gonna recommend

nutritional yeast to get your B vitamins

okay

trace minerals not just copper but all

the trace minerals like zinc for example

because a lot of times when they reduce

the size of your stomach you’re not

going to have the ability to absorb

minerals in general and definitely trace

minerals now vitamin D you want to just

get more Sun or cod liver oil very

important and also with the greens

powder a concentrated high-quality

greens powder you can get not just your

vitamin E but you can get minerals Fido

nutrients from that so in other words

I’m recommending taking a concentrated

food nutrient as compared to individual

vitamins and definitely synthetic

vitamins you want to avoid that you also

want to take out cider vinegar maybe

through the day with some water diluted

not by itself you can sip it with a

straw but this is gonna help the

absorption of minerals okay and the

other thing I’m going to highly

recommend is in a minute fasting because

this will allow you to tap into your own

fat more efficiently and also lower your

nutrient requirements in general the

more intermittent fasting you do the

less nutrients you actually need because

your body starts recycling these

minerals now if you’re considering a

bariatric surgery and you haven’t done

it yet you may want to hold off and do

healthy keto and in a bit of fasting

because those two things together can

greatly help someone with a slow

metabolism I had a guy who came to my

last summit he was 600 pounds okay he

did not do bariatric surgery he’s down

to 230 pounds right now

and he’s doing great I’ll put a link

down below for his story but there is a

way to do this without surgery thanks
