hey guys dr. Burke here in this video

I’m gonna answer a question

do I need to take supplements if I’m

already healthy okay really good

question well the first thing we’re

gonna talk about is what is healthy

what does healthy mean does it mean

while not in any medications

I’m not grossly overweight well let’s

just take a look the definition of

health should be someone that has

amazing energy great sleep no

inflammation in the body good digestion

good adrenals everything is working and

it’s optimum and try to find someone

like that I haven’t found anyone like

that so we all have body issues going on

so if your health is really really

perfect and then maybe you know don’t

need to supplement but even then it’s

very difficult to get food that has all

the nutrients because the soils are so

depleted in America now in other parts

of the world it’s much better there’s

higher levels of nutrients in food and

different places like for example Africa

people that are actually live in Africa

their teeth are really really strong we

have huge roots good dental structure

because the soils are so rich now if you

were raised on food that was grown on

incredibly fertile soil that’s a whole

different conversation but in America

the soil is empty so the food is empty

you can only get so much nutrients from

the food if the soil doesn’t provide for

the nutrients now if you had a past

history of eating junk food like myself

I lived on pure sugar until I was

probably 20 22 years old

the only thing green that I ate was

pistachio ice cream and lime green jello

I never even ate a vegetable so my

health was very very bad it caught up

with me

by the way but the point is that your

history has a lot to do with your

current health stress wise environmental

eating junk foods just depriving the

body so yes you’re gonna need

supplements to actually support the weak

links that are occurring from the past

problems in your digestion your adrenals

so you have inflammatory conditions

chronic sleep issues let’s say you’re in

a bad marriage for 10 years and you’re

stressed out well your

renals need some support so you’re going

to have to add supplements now when

you’re doing the keto adaptation where

your body is switching over from fat to

sugar it’s really necessary to beef up B

vitamins and trace minerals very

important because you’re not going to

get that from the food especially if you

want to avoid various symptoms keto rash

keto flu keto fatigue and all the other

symptoms and then we have the factor of

in the environment we live in a chemical

planet every year there’s new chemicals

in the environment you’re constantly

being exposed so what’s gonna happen

that’s going to mess up your endocrine

system your liver and that will prevent

you from absorbing nutrients

encountering the benefits of nutrients

the nutrients and food especially the

phytonutrients are there to dismantle

and clean up these chemicals but if

you’re not consuming enough of the right

of vegetables for like cruciferous and

things like that and you’re not going to

actually extract those poisons in your

body and then we have just getting our

RTA’s or our requirement nutrients I

think a lot of people don’t realize how

much food you have to consume to get

your basic necessities like even

potassium you need 4700 milligrams

very rarely will anyone consume enough

vegetables to get that you need 7 to 10

cups so it’s virtually almost impossible

to get your basic nutrient requirements

based on the soils based on the

environmental toxicity and also the

current body problems that people have

so I want to give you a quick example of

how I use nutrients on different

conditions here’s one right here digest

formula this is an acid to help you

absorb protein and minerals so if your

stomach acid is not strong enough you

can’t pull that in so we’re not

providing nutrients we’re providing the

ability to absorb your nutrients here’s

another example right here gall bladder

formula this doesn’t have any nutrients

in it it has bile purify bile salts to

help you extract the fat soluble

vitamins from the food that you’re

already eating so this those two just

helped absorption this one this targets

the nutrient

for the adrenals to help with stress

especially if you have if your weak link

is adrenal okay and then we have the

night formula for the adrenal - to

support the adrenals in a different way

to help you relax go to sleep so your

energy can start rejuvenating and you

can support the adrenals through a good

night’s sleep here’s another example of

a stronger adrenal product for those

people that have advanced adrenal

fatigue okay

this product would be more of a

concentrated cruciferous which is a

blend of about 13 different cruciferous

vegetables which help give you a

broad-based spectrum of the foods that

most people don’t consume so you can

actually help support a healthy liver

and then we have something called

estrogen balance with dim okay now dim

is a concentrated cruciferous you’d have

to consume 2 pounds of cruciferous to

equal just one pill and the reason I

created this is just because a lot of

people are estrogen dominant and we need

to balance that so that that’s what

that’s for and then we have this one

called organic raw wheatgrass juice

powder

now when teaspoon of this is equivalent

to about nine to eleven shots of

wheatgrass ok that’s an entire tray of

wheatgrass it’d be very difficult to

consume that much food so it’s a very

concentrated and the cool thing is the

wheatgrass has grown on a super rich

fertile soil so you get the the benefit

of those trace minerals without the high

heat so everything’s under low heat so

we have this super enzyme rich

concentrated superfood and then we have

the electrolyte powder again minerals

trace minerals but a lot of potassium

each teaspoon is a thousand milligrams

our bodies need 4700 milligrams of

potassium every day that’s like seven to

ten cups of vegetable not like iceberg

lettuce but high-quality vegetable there

are a few people do that so this allows

people to enhance the diet so I’m just

showing you those to show you that the

purpose of supplements are not

necessarily always to get the nutrients

but to support weak links in the body

and help you absorb the nutrients that

you’re already getting from the diet

alright thanks for watching so Karen and

I are going to create some more recipes

but we wanted to know what recipes are

you interested in okay click the link
