let’s talk about the dangers of someone giving  you the wrong diagnosis this is something that’s  

very common yet can create a lot of problems  if you’re diagnosed and treated incorrectly  

not to mention these side effects from all the  drugs that you’ll be getting unnecessarily so the  

worst thing that a person get is that you have  this disease or this diagnosis yet when it’s  

actually another problem it’s never going to be  solved if you have the wrong diagnosis to diagnose  

someone you need to evaluate them with complete  data and true data now i’m going to give you a  

little example of a recent situation where i had  some people responding to something in the news  

that said the ketogenic diet now has been proven  by scientific studies to cause heart problems okay  

well there’s other data to show that the ketogenic  diet helps prevent heart problems right so when  

you have conflicting information you have to  start asking questions you have to start digging  

into the data and looking at it yourself because  sometimes when you look at second-hand information  

where someone’s giving you their opinion about  another study it could be slightly flawed so if  

you actually look at the data and you read it  yourself it was a study involving mice and they  

were on the ketogenic diet so i thought until i  found out that it wasn’t the ketogenic diet at all  

it was a high fat high carbohydrate diet just  because something is high fat doesn’t make it keto  

keto is low carb so the percentage of carbs  that they put these mice on were 30 percent  

well keto is around 5 carbs so that was an example  of false data let’s give you some other examples  

let’s say we have gerd this is a disorder where  the the valve on the top of the stomach doesn’t  

close so you have acid that comes up and so if  you read on this they’ll talk about genetics  

maybe some environmental things but it doesn’t  actually tell you the actual underlying cause  

evaluating someone’s diet is not looked at very  much in the medical profession and unfortunately  

this data is very very important because if this  is not added into the equation and it’s not looked  

at closely you’re going to come up with different  conclusions and a different treatment and so you  

also have to understand that some data is more  important than others so if you’re focusing on  

the genes which you really can’t change too  much versus the diet which you can change  

this would be way way more important let’s take a  slow metabolism right a lot of times people will  

say well it’s your your thyroid is slow so let’s  say you do a test and you find out the thyroid  

is low so then what causes that they just say  well you don’t your thyroid is deficient and  

we can just keep treating it right so you’re on  medication for a very long time and so we’re not  

really actually getting deeper into why first of  all when we evaluate this we have to be complete  

about it and we have to have all the data here’s  some extra data ninety percent of all hypothyroid  

cases are hashimoto’s that’s an autoimmune  problem autoimmune problems relate to the gut  

another piece of data that’s rarely evaluated when  you’re looking at these connections so let’s say  

for example a person doesn’t have an autoimmune  disease then you have to look at other reasons for  

a hypothyroid problem well there’s a liver problem  if there’s a gallbladder problem simply because 80%  

of that conversion from t4 to t3 happens through  the liver and the 20% happens through the kidney  

also if you’re high in estrogen that can  inhibit the thyroid hormone this is why  

women sometimes when they go through pregnancy  when they get this spike of estrogen end up with  

a slow thyroid this is just using all the data  that’s available to evaluate the most likely  

cause of the problem now they might say a  slow metabolism is that you just eat too many  

calories right this has been completely disproven  because how do you explain the skinny people that  

can eat like a horse and they never gain weight  and then you have the conclusion a lot of people  

make is well you’re just eating too many calories  but that doesn’t give you the whole picture it’s  

not all about calories usually if someone has a  slow metabolism and a problem with their set point  

so let’s say they lose weight and they get down to  150 pounds but they can’t seem to get below that  

that is related to insulin resistance another  piece of data that is rarely evaluated or added  

into the equation if you fix insulin resistance  which by the way when you have insulin resistance  

many times you have high insulin you fix the  metabolism you fix the set point okay then you  

have high blood pressure which is a very common  diagnosis which is related to genetics and risk  

factors and smoking and all these things that are  factors but are they the most important pieces of  

data usually not because the most important  data when you’re evaluating blood pressure  

it should be potassium and vitamin d and high  insulin these three things will raise blood  

pressure faster than anything else but if this  is not evaluated the person ends up on medication  

for the rest of their life one last story  i had a patient who came in with heart pain  

she’s been to the emergency room other doctors  the cost for all the testing was forty thousand  

dollars okay and so here’s another really  important tool when you evaluate you wanna get  

a complete history when did it start this question  was never asked okay so i found it happened like  

i think a week previously on a tuesday i said  what time she said five o’clock i said then what  

happened right before this what did you eat well  we found out what she ate a huge banana split okay  

she rarely ever does that i already know when you  eat those type of foods you’re going to sometimes  

affect the gallbladder and that sometimes can  create the blockage which can create pressure  

which can then back up in the liver which can  then affect the heart so i knew about that link  

i said lay on the table did some gentle massage  in the area of digestion and her heart pain went  

away and it never came back so this is just using  this simple little question right here and so can  

you imagine if she was actually diagnosed  with some heart defect and they actually  

did surgery that would be devastating and so it’s  important when you evaluate to get all the data  

make sure it’s true data understand that some data  is more important than others and definitely do  

a complete history thanks for watching hey before  you go real quick i have a course entitled how to  

bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course  i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here  

avoiding your environment but what about here  what about strengthening your immune system  

that’s what’s missing this course will show  you how to bulletproof yourself and so you  

can tolerate and resist your environment much  better by strengthening your own immune system
