so in this video I wanted to talk about

nutritional deficiencies there’s some

hidden sources of why people have

nutritional deficiencies especially

despite taking vitamins now these

nutrients that you’re supposed to be

taking to enhance your health usually

are supposed to be in the food but the

problem is the soils are so bad that

it’s hard to find food that has enough

nutrients especially in the US so you

have this empty harvest okay so you have

that and then you have the other fact

that people just don’t eat enough of the

right amounts of food to get the

nutrients but the nutrients help you in

many different ways they’re kind of like

helper factors that help chemistry work

better through the body in the formation

of body tissue and the formation of

different body chemicals to allow the

chemical process to occur protection

against disease and like high sugar for

example so like for example vitamin b1

protects you against the symptoms of

high blood sugar so even though you have

give to people with high blood sugar and

someone and one of them is deficient in

vitamin b1 that’s the person that will

exhibit more symptoms from high blood

sugar and this person might not so you

can kind of look at vitamins as birth

control pills for disease because they

actually protect yourself from further

damage so of course the most obvious

thing is just not getting enough

nutrients from the diet okay so we’re

going to move beyond that we’re going to

talk about some hidden reasons why you

might be deficient okay that goes beyond

just the diet one is you don’t have

enough stomach acid now let me explain

what that means if you don’t have enough

hydrochloric acid you’re gonna have a

hard time absorbing minerals and trace

minerals which are minerals needed but

in much smaller amounts so the trace

minerals would be like zinc selenium

cobalt and the regular minerals minerals

would be like calcium magnesium

phosphorus so we need stomach acid to

absorb the nutrients also we need that

to help break down protein into amino

acids so amino acid is a nutrient a

micronutrient

protein is a macronutrient so if you

don’t have the stomach acid then you may

have a problem with breaking down the

protein the acid actually triggers an

enzyme to break down the protein usually

it’s not just 100 percent of the acid

dissolving it’s the release of a certain

enzyme so you never get that release of

the enzyme and then you end up with

undigested protein and you get gas is

the common symptom and the way that you

know you have low stomach acid is that

you have heartburn or indigestion or

bloating okay that’s very very common

but there’s one more purpose of this

very strong acid which should be between

1 and 3 by the way which is very strong

and it’s to kill off microbes if you’re

not able to kill off those microbes you

you happen to develop a condition called

SIBO which is a small intestinal

bacterial overgrowth where microbes are

now growing in the wrong place in the

small intestine not the large you should

not have all this microbial action going

on in the small intestine and the

problem with that is that you get an

overgrowth in the wrong place and then

those microbes eat up all your nutrients

because in the small intestine that’s

when you have 90% of the absorption of

nutrients happen so if these guys are

eating up all the fuel or the food

particles and you don’t have enough

you’re gonna have nutritional deficiency

just from that so one of the big causes

of SIBO is low stomach acid so these are

definitely connected ok and if you have

SIBO you’re gonna have a lot of gas a

little tons of gas and you there’s a

test that your doctor can do to

determine if you have it but you want to

not add a lot of fiber or probiotics in

there because that’s gonna feed the

microbes more and we’re not we don’t

want to add more microbes to the system

we want to do more stomach acid we want

to do fasting and we want to do certain

types of vegetables ok you can look up

the video on SIBO and actually get more

data ok number 2 low bile so your

gallbladder is not working or it’s

missing and you don’t have enough bile

and you’re not going to be able to get

the sufficient fat soluble vitamins

vitamin A D E K k1 and k2

is really important in driving calcium

out of the soft tissues out of the

arteries out of the joints but M&A is

for the eye so you’ll be driving at

night and can’t quite see in dark for

the immune system for the sinuses so you

might develop sleep apnea or have sinus

congestion vitamin D bone pain

depression immune problems vitamin E you

exert yourself and you feel tired really

quick so you have no endurance or you

might have angina pain that’s a vitamin

E deficiency so you can have all sorts

of issues and also you won’t be able to

absorb the omega-3 fatty acids and DHA

and that can lead to all sorts of things

but again if you don’t have enough bile

you’re not going to be able to absorb

the fat soluble vitamins and the

essential fatty acids okay despite

taking them as supplements okay three

low enzymes that’s usually in the

pancreas because your pancreas produces

most of the enzymes in the body and it’s

supposed to determine what you put in

your mouth you eat it it goes down here

your body releases enzymes to break down

those particles so you have this whole

chemical reaction going on well if you

actually consume a lot of the wrong

foods over many years and you develop

pre-diabetes or insulin resistance or

you just basically kind of used up the

enzymes because you’re eating all cook

foods which is really bad

you don’t have enough raw vegetables

then the pancreas isn’t going to release

the enzymes people that have diabetes or

prediabetes or insulin resistance just

don’t have the capacity of pancreatic

function anymore

so if they because the pancreas actually

regulates insulin and another hormone

called glucagon which is the blood sugar

thing it regulates when you eat and when

you don’t eat but it also is another

function of releasing the enzyme so if

you don’t have enough enzymes you’re

gonna have all sorts of undigested

incomplete food going through particles

going through and it’s going to create

bloating and gas other than that you’d

be totally fine okay see Bo we talked

about that it’s basically thing we’re

going to create deficiencies of

nutrients and then number five decrease

flora like your friendly bacteria it’s

called microbiome and the large

Wow let’s say it’s not sufficient maybe

you took an antibiotic or you you know

you’re exposed to glyphosate and all the

GMO food which is in the grocery store

which they don’t label that’s actually

classified as an antibiotic by the way

its patented by Monsanto it so it’s

basically killing up the microbes and

you’re wondering why you don’t have the

digestive capacity you once had

so without the flora you can’t recycle

the bile as well as you did before and

that alone can create a whole chain

reaction of things but the floor is very

important in breaking down fiber also

helping us make vitamins especially the

B vitamins a biotin is one really

important one so if you don’t have

enough biotin you’re gonna get hair loss

the quality of skin hair is gonna be

very poor so the flora gives you certain

healthy acids that help blood sugar

issues they help protect against

microbes and pathogens but they also

help make vitamins for you

number six raw vegetables nuts and seeds

there are certain compounds in raw foods

that are protective antioxidants that

protect the plant or not or seed against

developing into an actual plant okay and

so you have phytic acid you have enzyme

inhibitors phytic acid in all these and

even though that’s an antioxidant it can

actually block the absorption of

nutrients so this is why for some people

when you actually just slightly steam

the vegetable or even you get rid of

that phytic acid or you soak these two

things in water overnight you germinate

them and it’s much easier to digest and

you absorb more nutrients some people

can do do fine with this other people

can’t but I just want to let you know

that this could be a problem especially

if you’re trying to absorb minerals some

of these some the properties in some of

these foods block the absorption of

minerals kind of act as a key later

it’s called phytic acid I did a whole

video on this you can watch it I’ll put

a link down below this is a very common

reason why people have nutritional

deficiencies they

insulin resistance what happens is the

purpose of insulin is not just a regular

blood sugar it’s to help you absorb

nutrients in the cell so especially like

minerals and even vitamins vitamin C

especially so if you’re consuming higher

amounts of carbs and sugar and you have

insulin resistance that’s like a big

problem for amino acids going into the

cell formation of bone preventing a loss

of collagen so you have this loose skin

and you’re wondering why these vitamins

aren’t working well your cells will not

absorb them if you have instant

resistance okay put a link down below to

learn about that number eight non food

based vitamins so you’re taking this

synthetic commercial vitamin and you’re

thinking oh yeah this is really really

healthy now it’s all synthetic it’s not

the real thing

there’s no it’s not based on food it’s

made from chemicals so this is a

situation where you’re getting a fake

bottom in okay don’t buy the fact that

all vitamins are the same no it’s like

where do they come from what’s the

source of the vitamin I can see taking

some synthetic vitamins if you’re also

taking a food based complex with it but

just so you know if it’s not from food

it’s definitely not the same it’s from

food okay

bad diet how many people come up to me

and they go what vitamins should I take

but they haven’t changed or addressed or

diet yet well I think they’re wasting

your money so you have to fix the diet

first then you can add supplements

because taking supplements just it’s not

gonna you’re not gonna see the effects

because the actual cause of your

symptoms and the reason why you’re

taking supplements comes from this bad

diet so anyway I wanted to cover all

nine of the hidden nutritional

deficiency factors so you have more

awareness all right thanks for watching

hey guys so there’s a whole bunch of

people that really need this information

it way out there
