Osteoporosis is not simply a calcium deficiency. Bones store calcium, phosphorus, and more than half of the body’s magnesium. Magnesium helps regulate calcium, supports vitamin D function, and plays an important role in bone health.One of the most common factors associated with osteoporosis is elevated parathyroid hormone related to low vitamin D. Low magnesium can also affect parathyroid hormone. Some people have normal calcium levels but still develop severe osteoporosis, showing that bone density and bone strength are not always the same.Magnesium deficiency is difficult to detect with a standard blood test and may go unnoticed until it becomes more severe. Chronic stress and certain medications, including prednisone and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), may also affect bone health.If you have osteoporosis, getting enough magnesium is important. Focus on magnesium-rich foods, magnesium glycinate, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 to help support healthy bones and maintain bone density.DATA:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3775240/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0955286304001573 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3910342/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12626859/ Dr. Eric Berg, D.C.

Find out how to improve blood sugar control and stop making common blood sugar mistakes! In this video, we’ll cover 13 blood sugar mistakes to avoid, along with the best blood sugar management tips for healthy blood sugar levels. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) Chapters: 0:00 Introduction: Stop making blood sugar mistakes! 0:25 High blood sugar explained 2:41 Insulin resistance and diabetes 5:47 Common blood sugar regulation mistakes 12:22 How to lower blood sugar naturally 14:05 More blood sugar management tips Did you know that all of the blood in your body should only contain a single teaspoon of sugar? Our bodies tightly regulate the amount of sugar in our blood at any given time. If you have prediabetes, that number rises to 1.5 teaspoons. With diabetes, the blood contains 2 teaspoons of sugar. The average person consumes between 50 and 100 teaspoons of sugar every day. Insulin removes the sugar from your blood and converts it to fat or stored sugar in the liver and muscles. The body only needs a tiny amount of sugar (which the liver can make on its own), so we don’t actually need to consume any sugar at all. Chronic excessive sugar consumption can lead to the development of insulin resistance, which is at the root of many chronic diseases. Improve blood sugar control by avoiding these common mistakes when testing your blood sugar. 1. Not washing your hands 2. Using alcohol wipes incorrectly 3. Using expired strips 4. Hot sauna or cold plunge before testing 5. Tylenol usage 6. Taking vitamin C and other supplements 7. Squeezing fingers 8. Using different fingers 9. Using continuous glucose monitors 10. Testing at high altitudes 11. Drinking coffee 12. Checking glucose in the morning 13. Dehydration An A1C test measures the average blood sugar over a period of 3 months. Several factors, including ethnicity, anemia, and diet, can affect these results. The liver is at the root of the problem when it comes to type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting can quickly eliminate liver fat and correct insulin resistance and diabetes. To further support healthy blood sugar levels, try the following: •Consistent exercise •Apple cider vinegar diluted in water before meals •Morning walks •Berberine •Get plenty of sleep •Reduce stress levels •Increase sunlight exposure DATA: https://www.virtahealth.com/blog/the-...https://www.businesswire.com/news/hom...https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/...https://cardiab.biomedcentral.com/art... https://www.cambridge.org/core/journa...https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/4/766 Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

Hearing loss is often labeled idiopathic, which means its cause is unknown. Learn about some of the nutrient deficiencies that can affect your hearing.

PRODUCT LINK: https://www.antiaging-systems.com/products/aldosterone-aldo-pro/ DATA: https://grantome.com/grant/NIH/R21-DC012599-02 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7416673/ 0:00 Introduction: Types of hearing loss 0:58 What causes hearing loss? 2:11 Viruses associated with hearing loss 2:43 Hearing loss and diabetes 3:32 Vitamin D and hearing loss Today, we’re going to talk about resolving hearing loss with nutrients. Viruses and nutritional deficiencies are the leading causes of hearing loss. When you experience an acute infection, there is an initial dramatic decrease in zinc and iron. Both are related to hearing loss. Viruses can also cause selenium deficiency. Selenium is important in converting T4 to T3 and supports the T-helper cell, which coordinates the entire immune system. Diabetes can damage the sensory nerves in the ear and cause hearing impairment. This is known as diabetic autonomic neuropathy. Hearing loss associated with diabetes results from severe vitamin B1 deficiency. Vitamin B1 is the key nutrient supporting the autonomic nervous system; if you’re diabetic, you’re likely deficient. Take benfotiamine, a form of B1 that can penetrate the myelin sheath, for hearing loss associated with diabetes. Vitamin D plays a critical role in protecting against autoimmune conditions. Many autoimmune conditions, such as autoimmune inner ear disease, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis, can cause hearing impairment. If the small bones inside your ear are damaged, you could develop hearing loss. Adequate potassium levels are vital for hearing.

Did you know you can use castor oil for your skin? Castor oil has been used for thousands of years for its amazing healing properties and benefits. In this video, find out how to use castor oil for glowing, youthful skin, longer hair, and more. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) 0:00 Introduction: Castor oil for your face 0:30 Castor oil benefits 1:02 Castor oil benefits for hair 2:44 How to use castor oil for skin 3:58 How to use castor oil for hair 4:26 The best castor oil 4:56 Castor oil for eyelashes Castor oil can naturally give your skin a soft, glowing, firm look. It’s the best remedy for wrinkles or dry skin. Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, a penetrating moisturizer for your skin and hair. It also has powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Many skin-related problems are caused by an overgrowth of bacteria, yeast, or fungus. Castor oil is the perfect antidote—you can even use it for acne. Castor oil contains vitamin E, which can protect your skin from UV radiation and pollution. It has potent wound-healing properties and can help fade dark spots for an even complexion. Castor oil contains beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A, which supports the skin. It also contains magnesium and potassium. Evidence suggests castor oil can help stimulate collagen synthesis, which is vital for anti-aging. Apply castor oil routinely to scars, stretch marks, and acne scars to help them fade. Many people dilute castor oil with other oils, such as coconut or olive oil, because of its thick and sticky texture. It can also be used as is. Take a couple of drops and rub them into your skin, focusing on dry, wrinkled, reddened, or irritated areas. Try using castor oil before bed, so it has plenty of time to penetrate the skin. Be careful using castor oil around the pelvic area or abdomen if you’re pregnant, as it can induce labor. To use castor oil for hair growth, massage it into your scalp. This can help stimulate hair growth, especially if you have alopecia. You can also rub a few drops through your hair before bed. Look for organic, cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil for the best quality and the most benefits. Many people have seen positive effects from Jamaican black castor oil. You can also use castor oil for eyelashes! Apply a small amount of castor oil to the root of your eyelashes daily to strengthen and lengthen your eyelashes. You don’t have to worry about the toxin in castor oil because it’s eliminated in the manufacturing process. --- ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Learn more about your ad choices.

Let’s talk about how to get rid of facial hair if you’re a female. The top cause of facial hair in females is PCOS. But, there are other potential causes, including a tumor on the adrenal glands or pituitary gland or Cushing’s syndrome. Symptoms of PCOS: 1. Heavy cycles 2. No cycles 3. Acne 4. Infertility 5. Insulin resistance The top cause of PCOS is high androgens. There is a lot of conflicting information on the internet and various suggestions on how to help improve this condition—but these recommendations can be confusing. I believe that excess insulin increases androgens, so high insulin is the root cause of PCOS, which then leads to facial hair. In my opinion, a good solution would be to lower insulin. How to lower insulin: 1. Lower your carb intake 2. Cut out snacks and decrease the frequency of your meals Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
