Is organic better? Most of the time, yes! Organic foods are produced without toxic chemicals, but some foods are not worth buying organic. Save your money and discover the 13 foods you DON’T need to buy organic.

0:00 Introduction: When NOT to buy organic
0:20 What is organic?
1:49 Is organic food healthier?
2:29 13 foods you should never buy organic
6:29 Foods to ALWAYS buy organic

Organic foods are foods without synthetic chemical input, such as pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, which are harmful chemicals that build up in the body. Organic animal foods are given organic feed and raised without antibiotics.

The term “foods made with organic ingredients” means that at least 70% of the product must be organic. “Organic” means 95% of the ingredients must be organic, and “100% organic” means 100% of the ingredients must be organic.

Just because something is labeled organic doesn’t make it healthy. Beware of organic junk food!

The following foods are not worth buying organic:
1. Sea salt
2. Wild-caught salmon
3. Avocados
4. Baking soda
5. Water
6. Walnuts
7. Pecans
8. Brazil nuts
9. Macadamia nuts
10. Coconuts
11. Cabbage
12. Banana
13. Game meat

Always buy organic for the following foods to avoid pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides:
1. Peanuts
2. Strawberries
3. Coffee
4. Chocolate
5. Cotton
6. Spinach
7. Apples
8. Grapes
9. Tea
10. Cherries
11. Wheat, oats, lentils, pulses

It’s important to note that organic means non-GMO, but non-GMO doesn’t always mean organic!

This is the best stretch for the psoas muscle—it’s simple, and I think you’ll notice a big difference after you try it. Check it out.

0:00 Introduction: What is the psoas muscle?
0:10 The effects of a tight psoas muscle 
2:45 The best psoas stretch 
5:45 Learn more about the psoas muscle!

Today, I’m going to share the best stretch for your psoas muscle.

The psoas muscle connects the upper part of your body with the lower part. A tight psoas muscle can lead to low back pain, poor posture, and problems with the hips.

Problems with the psoas muscle can make it difficult to:
• Get out of bed 
• Stand from a seated position
• Walk and run 
• Have good posture 
• Keep a low back curve 
• Climb stairs

When the psoas is too tight, it affects a lot of other muscles, and those muscles start to compensate.

Typically, a person will have a tighter psoas muscle on one side more than the other side. It’s very important to fix that and keep the psoas symmetrical.

This simple psoas stretch that I’m going to show you will also help you strengthen and stabilize this muscle. I think it’s going to give you a lot of relief.

Over the course of two to three weeks of doing this stretch, you’ll find that when you walk, your pelvis, hips, and gait are more free and open. You’ll also notice that your low back pain is much better, your hips are less tight, and your low back curve is in a good position.

Watch the video for an in-depth demonstration of the best stretch for your psoas.

Vitamin D is vital for your health, but is too much vitamin D dangerous? Find out about some of the negative vitamin D side effects and how to avoid them. Learn how to access potent vitamin D health benefits while minimizing vitamin D health risks.

0:10 The Coimbra Protocol
0:41 Normal vitamin D levels

2:10 How much vitamin D do you need?

Learn more about vitamin D with this FREE resource: https://drbrg.co/3IKN0xk

Learn more about magnesium, an essential cofactor to vitamin D, here: https://drbrg.co/4lXMBGk

Dr. Coimbra of Brazil is a pioneer in vitamin D research and developed the Coimbra Protocol, in which he treats his patients with high doses of vitamin D. This protocol has been very successful in resolving autoimmune conditions, with some of his patients taking up to 200,000 IU of vitamin D daily!

Vitamin D deficiency is not always easy to detect. Blood tests do not reflect what's going on deeper in your cells.

Taking too much vitamin D can be dangerous if you have hypercalcemia, or too much calcium in the blood. This can lead to kidney stones.

A lack of vitamin D is also dangerous! If you’re deficient in vitamin D, you are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases, which is currently the world’s largest health problem.

Vitamin D is involved in over 2500 genes and is intimately involved in every part of your immune system. You need a maintenance dose of 8,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily for healthy immune function.

Many people can not get adequate vitamin D from the sun or their food. Genetic factors can contribute to vitamin D resistance. Low magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K2 can also inhibit the absorption of vitamin D. Certain viruses downgrade vitamin D receptors, weakening your immune function. Our RDAs are also far too low.

There are several ways to maximize vitamin D benefits while also preventing adverse vitamin D side effects. Take the cofactors magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K2 with vitamin D. Limit your calcium intake, especially when taking a high dose of vitamin D. You can also increase fluid intake to 2.5 liters per day to prevent kidney stones.

Are you low in vitamin D? Learn more about the warning signs of a vitamin D deficiency.

0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D basics 
2:15 Symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency 
7:50 Vitamin D deficiency causes 
10:57 Check out my video on vitamin D toxicity!

Today I want to cover the warning signs of a vitamin D deficiency. However, it’s important to remember that a warning sign or symptom isn’t the real problem—it’s an indicator of the real problem.

Seven warning signs of a vitamin D deficiency:
1. High blood pressure 
2. Low back pain 
3. High blood sugar 
4. High susceptibility to viruses 
5. Autoimmune conditions 
6. Daytime sleepiness 
7. Depression

Let’s say you’re doing everything right, and you’re still deficient in vitamin D. There are a few reasons why this could happen.

Top causes of a vitamin D deficiency (when you’re already getting vitamin D):
• Polymorphism (a vitamin D receptor mutation)
• You’re still not getting enough vitamin D (you need at least 10,000 IU)
• You have a problem with absorption (due to low zinc, low magnesium, a liver problem, a kidney problem, darker skin, or being overweight)

When you take a vitamin D supplement, you also need to take vitamin K2. The correct ratio is 10,000 IU of D3 to 100 mcg of K2. Vitamin K2 can help drive calcium into the bones and help prevent it from depositing in the arteries, joints, and other tissues.

When using high doses of vitamin D, always check with your doctor. High doses of vitamin D can increase blood/urine calcium levels resulting in calcium deposits in the kidney. Also drink 2.5 liters of fluids per day, take cofactors with vitamin D (magnesium, K2 and zinc) and have your doctor monitor your PTH, vitamin D blood levels and creatinine and avoid excess calcium supplements of high calcium foods when taking vitamin D levels over 10,000 IUs.
