The average commodity bacon at the grocery store is affordable, but is the more costly bacon worth it?

Once a pig is weaned from its mother, it’s sent to a feedlot, weighing about 40 to 50 pounds. It will then live in a 7-square-foot area where it will be fattened to over 250 pounds in 3 to 4 months!

Commercial pigs are fed GMO corn and soy. They’re also given drugs in the US, like ractopamine, to quickly increase muscle growth before slaughter. This drug is banned in 90 countries! Laws protect the privacy of these farms, so it’s difficult for the public to discover what truly occurs there.

When bacon is processed, artificial smoke flavoring, salt, sugar, water, and MSG are typically added. This process is not generally used for high-quality bacon.

Nitrates are chemicals that act as antibacterials and flavor enhancers. When exposed to high heat, however, they can turn into carcinogens.

Singing Pastures is an excellent source of pasture-raised bacon. Pigs are rotated in small pastures to allow grass to regenerate. In Spain and Italy, pigs are often fed acorns. Pork is also cured to enhance flavor and quality.

Pork is one of the best sources of vitamin B1. Pasture-raised pork contains vitamin D and trace minerals such as selenium and zinc. Lard is a healthy fat and, if it comes from a properly raised pig, is a great addition to cooking and baking.

Overcooked bacon can create carcinogenic byproducts. Avoid this by cooking your bacon in the oven or air fryer. To counteract carcinogens, cook your bacon with olive oil, garlic, and onion. Avoid microwavable bacon!

0:00 Introduction: The MTHFR gene explained
0:52 MTHFR and detox
3:35 Toxins in the environment
5:23 How to support detoxification
7:42 Learn more about the MTHFR enzyme!
Today we're going to talk about a common problem that affects your ability to detoxify chemicals and other toxins.
This problem involves the MTHFR gene, known as the detox gene. It's also involved in creating neurotransmitters and in hormonal regulation.
If you have a mutation or alternation with the MTHFR gene, you could lose 25% to 80% of the gene's function.
A loss of function of the MTHFR gene could lead to potential complications, including:
• Free radical damage
• Oxidation
• Inflammation
• Fibrosis
• Cirrhosis
• Insulin resistance
• Fatty liver
• Poor digestion
• Poor sleep
• Gallstones
• High cholesterol
• Backup of bile
Many chemicals in the environment are considered endocrine disrupters and estrogen disrupters, which may lead to various health concerns.
If you have a genetic mutation of the MTHFR gene, a typical detox won't help you very much. You have to have a very clean lifestyle. With this mutation, your liver could have a difficult time just getting rid of things like alcohol or caffeine.
But there are things you can do to help this gene work correctly. First off, you should avoid synthetic, enriched, and fortified foods and supplements.
The best things to support detoxification if you have a mutation of the MTHFR gene:
1. Methylfolate
2. Methylcobalamin
3. Choline
4. Natural B vitamin complex (nutritional yeast)
5. Magnesium (leafy greens)
6. Cruciferous vegetables

Check out this simple and powerful way to lower stress and cortisol.

0:00 Introduction: Stress and cortisol
0:19 What is fight-or-flight?
0:28 Dangers of stress
3:10 How to reduce stress
5:00 Check out my recent hobby to lower stress!
Let’s talk about stress and cortisol. I’ve seen many people get on the right track with their diet and exercise—but they're still stuck in fight-or-flight mode.
Being in fight-or-flight mode, having elevated cortisol and adrenaline for a long period, isn’t healthy.
Chronic stress has been known to negatively affect the body in many ways, including:
• Shrinking your grey matter
• Shrinking your thymus gland
• Creating muscle atrophy
• Decreasing testosterone
• Running the body on sugar (even when you’re not eating sugar)
• Disrupting healthy digestion
• Reducing quality sleep
Chronic worry and stress can also lead to ulcers, inflammation, and disease.
An interesting study measured 39 people’s cortisol levels before and after a 45-minute art therapy session. This study found a significant reduction of cortisol in participants.
I have found that hobbies are a fantastic way to stop the fixation on stress and move your attention to something more positive.

5:13 How to stop nocturia
13:46 Learn more about keto and intermittent fasting!
Today we’re going to talk about the first sign of kidney disease. The kidneys are filters that convert blood into urine and recycle your fluid, protein, nutrients, and hormones.
Other functions of the kidneys include:
• Coordinating the amount of fluid in the body
• Converting vitamin D into the active form of vitamin D
• Regulating blood pressure
• Regulating the hydration of the body
• Eliminating toxins from the body
High blood sugar levels can lead to diabetic nephropathy, one of the most common causes of kidney failure and end-stage renal disease.
The first sign of kidney disease is nocturia, a situation where you urinate often during the night. Other common signs of kidney disease are protein in the urine and edema.
I have found that the best way to stop nocturia is to focus on improving the person’s diabetes first. A high-carb diet is ultimately behind diabetes.
The best ways to support your kidneys:
1. Go on a keto diet
2. Do intermittent fasting (one and a half meals a day)
3. Consume plant phytonutrients
4. Take benfotiamine
5. Take alpha-lipoic acid
6. Consume turmeric

Prolonged fasting has a lot of incredible benefits. Here's what you really need to know before giving it a try.
Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food)

0:00 Introduction: Understanding fasting vs. snacking
3:03 What great thinkers have said about fasting
3:52 Fasting vs. starving
5:30 Critical things you need to know about prolonged fasting
18:33 Learn how to make insulin more sensitive!

Today, I’m going to share seven critical things you need to know about prolonged fasting. Fasting is very simple yet very powerful.

Snacking is one of the worst things for your insulin and your overall health. Food is nourishing, but to heal your body, you might be better off not eating.

Snacking causes hunger, weight gain, fatigue, and moodiness—among other potential health problems. Yet, simply not eating can create so many powerful health effects.

Throughout history, many great thinkers, including Hippocrates and Plato, have even had positive things to say about fasting.

Seven critical things you need to know about prolonged fasting (72 hours or longer):
1. Only drink water (2.5 liters), tea, and coffee—and take supplements (electrolytes, B vitamins, vitamin D, and vitamin C)

2. Take electrolytes (including sea salt)

3. Go very slow and gradual when refeeding, and avoid carbs, sugar, and a large meal

4. Don’t take apple cider vinegar

5. Do Healthy Keto when you break your fast

6. Understand the dawn phenomenon (your liver is making sugar due to insulin resistance)

7. Know when to break your fast (don’t stop when it’s uncomfortable—push through the transition phase)
