so today I’m going to talk about

arrhythmias which is involving the

electrical system of the heart

it’s the heart that’s no longer in a

regular rhythm it can either stop or

speed up or pound giving you all sorts

of symptoms from feeling dizzy chest

pain sweating a raising of the pulse

rate a lowering of the pulse rate and

there’s a few more as well so one of the

big problems with arrhythmias is there’s

not hardly any emphasis on the person’s

diet what are they putting in their

mouth it’s always about the risk factors

and they go right to treatment and that

whole system depends on these things

called electrolytes electrolytes are

electrically charged minerals that allow

the muscles to contract and relax and

the nerve to transmit communication

throughout the nervous system now the

actual pacemaker of the heart is under

control of something called the vagus

nerve and the vagus nerve comes from the

Latin word which means wandering so the

vagus nerve starts at the brainstem and

you have two of them they come down to

the neck and they start connecting your

different organs and there’s that

connection to the heart that controls

the rhythm of the heart and that’s part

of the autonomic nervous system the

vagus nerve is parasympathetic versus

the sympathetic nervous system which

actually comes out through your mid-back

that also connects to the heart and that

will speed things up the parasympathetic

slows things down but it also controls

the rhythm of the heart and the

autonomic nervous system in general

really needs vitamin b1 so the question

is what would create a vitamin b1

deficiency and you guessed it refined

carbohydrates okay refined grains sugar

that will deplete your b1 and that will

start creating imbalances within the

autonomic nervous system stress that can

affect autonomic nervous system various

stimulants like drinking too much coffee

or taking certain drugs that speed up

the heart and many drugs will alter the

autonomic nervous system as well and

many drugs will also deplete item b1 so

there are really seven things that cause

arrhythmia so you have the hypothyroid

condition which can cause a problem

hyperglycemia

that’s diabetes or insulin resistance

and insulin resistance is a condition

which blocks the electrolyte absorption

into that cell you can also have

alkalosis okay which can be coming from

low potassium alkalosis is a pH problem

of the blood and you’re just slightly

too alkaline and if your body is too

alkaline you can’t absorb certain

electrolytes as well is if you have a

normal pH a lot of people that have

alkalosis also have a low hydrochloric

acid in their stomach and they have a

lot of issues with heartburn and

indigestion and GERD and if you don’t

have the normal pH that you need in the

stomach you can absorb minerals again

you’re creating an electrolyte

deficiency just from that so two of the

big causes of alkalosis is low potassium

and high cortisol from stress and then

we have something called hypokalemia

which is basically low potassium and

this comes from high carb diets being on

diuretics okay then you have something

called hyponatremia that’s a condition

where you have not enough sodium in the

body that can be created by being on a

low salt diet and drinking a lot of

water okay because that dilutes this

electrolyte and this can interfere with

the electrical activity of the heart and

create a lot of heart problems then we

have number six hypokalemia that’s low

calcium calcium is an electrolyte you

can also have arrhythmias if you have a

hyperkalemia too like too much calcium I

should have added that to the list but

this could come from not enough vitamin

D a very common problem then you have

something called hypomagnesemia okay

which is low magnesium another

electrolyte you can also have rythme us

from having gastric bypass because when

you bypass some of the colon

you’re inhibiting the absorption of

certain electrolytes or if you have

malabsorption let’s say for example you

have IBS or some type of celiac problem

or scar tissue in your colon or a

history of antibiotics if you have

damage in your colon you’re gonna have a

hard time absorbing these electrolytes

eventually that can lead to this right

here if this looks complex it’s really

not it’s very simple what you have to do

is restore your electrolytes okay so

here are some action steps number one

restore your electrolytes you can

actually take electrolytes you can start

to increase the vegetables in your diet

seven to ten cups this will definitely

provide for the potassium and magnesium

kind of those two right there and of

course the sodium that’s easy just add

some sea salt you may want to acidify

the body if you have alkalosis the tain

hydrochloride is a great natural

supplement you can take along without

cider vinegar to start acidifying your

body so you can get more absorption and

number three very important avoid

refined carbohydrates when you consume a

lot of refined carbohydrates you deplete

vitamins and minerals especially

potassium especially magnesium these

carbs turn into sugar they raise sugar

and you become a diabetic then you get

insulin resistance and now you can’t

absorb these minerals like you did

before so you want to fix insulin

resistance if you’re new to my channel I

put a link down below on how to do

healthy keto and in a minute fasting

that’s that’ll help you with this a lot

vitamin b1 is also important as well you

can get this from nutritional yeast you

can get in a powder or a supplement but

b1 is very very important in in

supporting the autonomic nervous system
