i’ve talked extensively on sugar causing

weight gain

and destroying the kidneys the heart

the eyes

the nervous system

but i haven’t really emphasized

the magnitude of what sugar can do to

your brain especially the cognitive

connection to the brain and when i mean

cognitive i’m talking about your ability

to put attention on something

to focus in and concentrate

see when you put your attention on

something

for a period of time

you’re actually ignoring a lot of extra

data and distractions that are around

you you have to zone in on one thing and

that requires a good amount of cognitive

power in fact your ability to hold your

attention on something and get something

done is really your personal power

and when you lose that and you’re so

distracted they call that

attention deficit disorder right they

kind of made up and labeled this

condition

which

they say is a dopamine deficiency but

there’s no proof that’s just a theory

they also say that there’s no cure uh

there’s just therapy

and there’s just medication i would love

to

find one person who’s ever been cured

with

therapy for add and i’d like to also

find one person that’s ever been cured

using medications and i’m talking about

actually coming off the medication

talking about ritalin correcting the

problem it doesn’t because they

definitely don’t talk about a cure they

say there’s no cure but there’s just

management that you’re managing these

symptoms now when we talk about the

influence of sugar on the parts of the

brain especially the frontal lobe and

the hippocampus

which is involved in memory learning and

things like that we do know that there’s

a very temporary spike in dopamine okay

which is your pleasure center it affects

your mood your behavior it makes you

feel better right makes you feel happier

at least for a minute right until

the receptors

for dopamine start downgrading okay so

now it takes more and more sugar to

create the same effect

but here’s the big problem with sugar on

the brain it alters the inhibitory parts

of the brain

so now

we have less control over our own brains

we have less control over filtering this

extra data that’s coming in on us 24 7

and we cannot put our attention on

anything for a period of time so we lose

focus there’s actually atrophy of the

brain going on over a period of time

there’s specifically the frontal lobe as

well as the hippocampus and it ages the

brain so it makes your brain older and

it reduces blood flow to the brain and

what’s really just bizarre to me is that

when you look up attention deficit

disorder they talk about hereditary

would they talk about environmental

factors but they don’t

ever even mention the word

sugar as a direct association or a cause

and let me just first talk about the

symptoms of how they describe add okay

not able to pay attention to detail

errors due to negligence okay

difficulty in focusing attention problem

with listening problem with finishing

tasks

problem organizing i mean

what if they just never been taught on

how to organize something right i mean

it’s not something that always comes

naturally to people next one is avoiding

activities that require sustained

attention problem in placing objects

back where they belong i think that’s

probably just genetic because i have a

hard time putting things back to where

they should be gets distracted easily

and forgetting tasks

i think this describes the entire

population right

and then how did they come up with this

diagnosis well they actually got

together in a room and they

voted on this say there’s no objective

test there’s no blood test there’s no

anything it’s all subjected now since

we’re on the topic let me just throw in

one little thing on attention deficit

hyperactivity disorder right this is

like

wow

increased mobility of limbs the child

playing with his hands and feet

inability to stay seated for a long

period of time i mean

who can who can sit down for a long

period of time i don’t know i think

that’s everyone has that issue all right

three running and climbing successfully

even in situations when this is not

appropriate

i mean

isn’t this normal for a child

number four difficulty playing quietly

so in other words what you’re saying is

when you’re playing you have to be quiet

that’s normal i think that’s

there’s a problem with that all right

and last one is speaking excessively

that’s a problem i think it’s a problem

not speaking too much like you have

someone too quiet

versus someone that just likes to talk

wow incredible so this is how they

diagnose it but then the treatment is

ritalin right ritalin apparently is

supposed to increase your dopamine but

it has some slight minor

side effects which i want to read right

here tachycardia high blood pressure

headache insomnia anxiety

weight loss dry mouth abdominal pain

heart problems psychosis and death okay

and then also withdrawal symptoms

depression

dissatisfaction with life

exhaustion

nightmares and suicide

thoughts and even the world health

organization which i’m surprised they

even say this but says the evidence of

benefit versus harm is unclear i mean to

me it looks like there’s a lot of harm

going on when people get on ritalin and

trying to come off of it of course if we

want to learn more about this sugar we

want to go to the experts the sugar

association okay i think it’s

sugarassociation.org

what they say is as long as you practice

moderation and portion control you can

have your cake and eat it too right but

what really gets me is there’s two

things that they say that are completely

lives okay number one is they say

carbohydrates are the number one source

of energy in the body that’s absolutely

not true right you can run your body in

ketones actually way more efficiently

so positively not true if you run your

whole body and trigger for a period of

time you’re gonna have a lot of health

problems and the second thing uh they

say is sugar is essential for the brain

okay

no it’s not essential for the brain if

you stop eating sugar your body will

start making ketones there are certain

parts of your brain that need sugar but

that can come from your body’s ability

to make sugar this is why our livers

can do what’s called

gluconeogenesis okay this is a normal

thing if our body needs a little bit of

sugar it can make it we don’t need to

have sugar so this is false information

all right so what is the solution stop

sugar

if you have kids that have a problem

with attention death disorder i’m not

telling you get them off the medication

but i’m just saying

if you stop the sugar you’re going to

find that they’re going to start

controlling their behavior a lot better

and the easiest way to come off sugar is

to replace it with an alternative sugar

i would recommend

sugar alcohols like xylitol erythritol

monk fruit stevia i will put a link down

below of all sorts of recipes and

honestly it’s basically the same

sensation of sweet just without

being

sugar and then that way it makes it

easier but to be able to get rid of the

cravings for sugar you have to stop

sugar you can’t just get rid of the

cravings without stopping sugar for a

period of time and i’m only talking

about one to two

maybe

three days okay and you got to bring

your carbs down below 20 grams per day

and that’s going to really help your

appetite and reduce your cravings and i

think until you do that you’re really

not going to know

that it’s doable it’s like wow your

cravings will go away within three days

and then it’s going to be so much easier

okay

number two start taking b1

get a natural source or nutritional

yeast because b1

directly helps

the

nervous energy that both kids and adults

have it helps the brain focus as well

as replace the major deficiency that has

occurred because of all the sugar so

anytime you consume sugar

you also at the same time better be

taking a lot of b1 or else you go in the

negative and the symptom of b1 with the

brain is a lot of cognitive problems

memory loss inability to learn nervous

energy can’t focus on anything restless

restless leg syndrome insomnia

and even nightmares believe it or not

okay and the third thing is to fix your

brain okay it’s fasting and you’d fast

18 hours with a six hour eating window

you’re gonna find if you do this for at

least a week your cognitive function is

gonna go way up a lot of you watching

i’ve already done this so please put

your comments down below so those people

who have not done this can see the

massive amazing successes that fasting

can do

for your focus

your concentration

and your attention on that note let me

put up a really good video on how to do

intermittent fasting it’s right here
