so someone had a question they wanted to

know why do I feel so terrible when I

consume red meat so I’m going to talk

about that there’s two main reasons one

is you don’t have enough hydrochloric

acid in your stomach to digest that

protein and that’s very very common and

it’s a simple solution

get some betaine hydrochloride / apple

cider vinegar you can get them in a pill

and you start taking that and that

should help you digest protein but many

many people especially as they get older

they lose the strength of this the acid

in their stomach and they have a big

problem digesting protein in general

especially red meat ok that’s one reason

the other reason is that you’re

accumulating too much iron and iron is

very toxic now iron is an essential

trace mineral needed in small amounts

but the problem is we have no mechanism

to get rid of iron so it’s very very

dangerous to take too much women who are

menstruating each month usually do not

have a problem with that because they

can get rid of iron but men do have a

problem with toxic iron so iron can

accumulate in the organs and the liver

can create all sorts of problems

inflammation cirrhosis of the liver

however in the beginning too much iron

can give you a headache joint pain

fatigue or insomnia so if you get these

symptoms after you consume meat it could

be you just have too much iron in your

body so let me just kind of go through

the two types of iron you have non heme

iron and heme iron the non heme is like

anything vegetable or plant or seafood

or eggs even though the heme iron is

certain meats as well as seafood so

seafood has a combination of heme and

non-heme and so does meat by the way but

meat typically has more heme iron than

most seafood and the non heme iron does

not create as much of a problem as this

type of iron so let’s just go through

the food that has the most concentrated

heme iron venison is number one next one

is lamb next is beef pork not too bad

pate that’s pork liver is five but take

a look at this it’s only 16% heme and so

it’s not as bad as some of these other

ones right here chicken it’s point two

in zero so that’s that’s pretty good

muscles that’s pretty high four point

six milligrams and 48% team so this

could be a problem with iron however if

you’re deficient in iron these are the

foods that you want to consume muscles

definitely ok salmon point six and

seventy percent so salmon is not going

to be the problem okay

lobster one point six and forty percent

keen and then shrimp is two point six

milligrams and forty percent so mussels

venison lamb beef those are the big ones

right here now the other thing you have

to be careful about especially if you’re

not doing keto or intermittent fasting

is the bread pasta cereal crackers

biscuits that are enriched with iron

they’re called fortified so anything

with grains that is fortified is going

to give you more iron and this is a very

big problem so when you take calcium you

can lower iron but really the best way

to get iron out of your body is to

donate blood and there’s some other ways

you can reduce iron of course avoid not

ones that are high in the list right

here

avoid supplements that have added iron

like the center of silver and Geritol

just loaded with the wrong type of iron

and they’re not food based ok next thing

is phytates phytates are in brand but

you can get this as a supplement

it’s called ip6 too concentrated phytate

and phytates

in grains block minerals especially iron

so this can help reduce the amount of

iron there’s also a key later EDTA you’d

want to take this an empty stomach the

problem is it takes that all the

minerals so you may want to put back in

the minerals that you want excluding the

iron and I would also recommend taking a

lot of food based and the oxidants slash

food high in antioxidants like

cruciferous vegetables this will not

decrease iron but what it will do it

will

neutralize the free radical damage

that’s created from the iron because

iron is very oxidative it creates a lot

of free radicals alright guys thanks for

watching and check out this additional

video I have an iron that gives you a

little more data thanks for watching
