damn, hope that's not true otherwise my brain is f-ed My mouth used to be blue all the times because I would bit through the replacaple plastic ink container like 4 times a week when I was a kid .

differences of opinion do not mean someone is mentally challenged. Let's try to avoid using inflammatory statements. Present your arguments and be prepared to defend them the way @Lila9 was doing, just stay away from provocative arguments such as the above.

plenty to fix there then but at least you know what you're up against

Hey, Can you share some more information about: your diet your exercise routine your sleep your current habits any supplements and/or meds you're taking what have you tried to eradicate the fatigue any tests you've had? (blood tests & other) also, what do you do for living? Do you enjoy it? Do you have a sense of passion in life? Are you pursuing something you consider meaningful on a deeeper level? From my experience, fatigue is caused by different things in different people but usually manipulating one's lifestyle and diet to a reasonable degree can either completely or partially eradicate it

@integral did you even read the OPs original post before dropping these videos? I think the challenge here is to actually leave the house and go for a walk. And that needs to be resolved

There is so much that could be said and written as a response. Ofcourse it depends on your budget, preferences, predispositions and how far you are willing to go deep into this work. But overall, if I was to share top 5 things that have made the most difference to me over the years on terms of energy, mental health, cognitive performance and athletic performance it would be (in no particular order): Batch cooking through use of a pressurised cooker (allows for an extreme nutrient density even on plant diets) and paying attention to: proper protein intake high complex carbohydrate intake A combined approach of weight training (gym) 3-4/week and cardio 2/week (HIIT + boxing + rope skipping) a caveat I would add there is that the training needs to be hard enough to stimulate all sorts of secondary messenger molecules around the body. So in the gym, you want to be pushing heavy, lifting heavy and going through a reasonable amount of discomfort. You know like squatting under a heavy barbell and going bit "grrrrrrrraaaaarghhhh" 2 or 3 times before returning it back so that you really feel it the next day. Without jeopardising the form, obviously. Weight lifting is perfect for stimulating the remineralisation of bones, increasing grip strength and improving lean muscle density - all of which are significant predictors of a longer lifespan. In cardio, you want to be mixing up speed drills, mobility, endurance, agility and complex movements - maximising the time you spend approaching your V02 max and aiming for spending more time closer to your HR max during each set. Basically, if you haven't sweated through 50% of your t-shirt surface, you're not going hard enough. One of the aims of all of these is also to protect your fast twitch muscles from atrophy as it may one day save you from hip fracture when you are 70 and can still put one food in front of the other when slipping on ice (and dying in hospital as a consequence pf osteoporotic injury as roughly 25% of such patients do) Applying some form of stress release / mindfulness practices to regulate stress, improve sleep and help me reconnect with the present moment Spending more time outdoors and getting some proper sun exposure when possible - doing things like hiking on weekends, running outdoors or taking my cardio training outdoors when I can (skipping rope, TRX and 2* 1kg boxing dumbbells) Endlessly optimising my sleep routine I would say these are responsible for 85-90% of my results. I don't really believe supplements alone do much. You can't supplement to compensate for bad sleep or lack of physical activity, nor can you every hope to achieve the same benefits an ultra-high-fibre diet delivers to your system, not even through the most expensive products. Basically, you need to become a bit of a freak, valuing health as your core value number one and ruthlessly removing people and factors in your life that damage it or jeopardise your relationship with your body (e.g. people who don't value health, people who force you into idle socialising, drinking and eating shit food because "the social norm requires it") Hope that helps

I think it's more of an acceptance than anything else. Doesn't mean unconditionally loving is taking no action such as hugging the rapist of your daughter and thanking him. It means not getting emotionally all worked up to no end. You can be unconditionally loving and still pursue legal action. That being said i definitely don't know how to do that and I'm sure most folks commenting don't either. It's a sort of a holy grail of this work

true, sometimes it is. Tho you can usually omit the taunting part such as "otherwise you may just throw yourself away" - that part has no motivational value other than depressing the OP a bit. Not everyone responds well to that level of sharpness.

If you have signs or symptoms of malnutrition (hair loss, rapid weight loss, thyroid issues, fatigue, pale skin, pale stool, neurological symptoms) then see a doc and have them run bunch of tests.l before going down rabbit hole of functional tests that can be hit & miss. I don't know the full scope, @undeather would need to comment on most effective GIT protocol but things like Pancreatic Elastase 1, IgA Tissue Transglutaminase (coeliac test) and calprotectin might be some of the early choices. If they indeed suspect malnutrition rather than checking for everything, they will start to ask "why" and in young person such as yourself the most likely culprit will be brush border enzyme destruction by Coeliac disease. Second to that IBD, pancreatic enzyme deficiency and maybe some gastric acid deficiency, not sure how common the latest one is - there are tests for that such as Heidelberg for hypochlorhydria. Ofcourse nutritional deficiencies in suboptimal caloric intake need to be ruled out too. I know you dislike doctors but that's where i would start

let's be a bit more compassionate with each other shall we If you don't see how being an Indian vs how being a young American can make life more difficult and how opportunities are not equal then you need to pull your head out of the sand

He is a grifter selling more problems than solutions. I don't believe Eric Berg believes in the stuff he talks about anymore. He probably used to when building the Dr Berg empire but he probably doesn't anymore. He is intelligent enough to know that people on medical Twitter are challenging him constantly for a reason. He is rejecting most invitations for an honest debate because his position is often undefendable. But he has a horse in the race and a very fat and wealthy one so if he became fully honest and questioned his own conscientiousness more thoroughly he would realise that he could not, in clear consciousness continue his work. And that hurts emotionally. It also costs you followers, fame and reputation. So what does he do? Pump out more pseudoscience poisoning the market and polluting the already polluted waters even more because the only other way is social media suicide. I don't blame him, it is a difficult choice to make. He is not a bad person, he has just gone too far to turn back ever again the way people like Layne Norton or Rhonda Patrick have when they were intellectually honest to admit where they were following a dogma and eventually rejected it.

?? Good quality sources all of them. I wish redpenreviews got a major investor onboard and could afford to increase the size of the team to counter the entire world of nutritional quackery books

Poke Bowls are great for people who don't know how to eat healthy food or how to include veggies in their diet or if you actually want to eat something that's good for you. The one you had does look a bit messy but I'd still stuff my face with it. Definitely looks better than some of the disgusting crap carnivore dieters share on Facebook which looks like a cannibal feast. Nothing in there is going to make you unwell or worse off unless that salmon has been out for too long. The only downside is the price tag associated with these (10-15 euros) and the way that a lot of shitty restaurants cheat by bulking it 80% full of white rice and only toppings with colourful veg and salmon for visual appeal

@integral have her batch cook foods that contain red lentils and other high iron foods. If she insists on remaining vegan, this needs to be dealt with otherwise she'll be a walking zombie without energy. You can condense extreme nutritional density per portion using something like an Instapot and making lentil/wholegrain/veggie meals. Salads and vegan burgers won't cut it. She might need to supplement too. Iron bisglycinate might be the way to go starting at about 50mg per day (Vega had a product like that) At 8 her ferritin levels are very low but can still be corrected without transfusions. Btw her TSH is higher than it should be too, has that been flagged? Depends on whome you talk to,any would say anything above 2 is clinically relevant She might even consider working with a dietitian.

Maybe, depends on how good your dental hygiene is. But if you have a bad dental health in family, then you might be taking a big risk, yes.

You might benefit from @flowboy's approach. I'm sure he has youtube content guiding through how to release those experience. Or even do a private conversation with him, which might benefit even more Most of these constraints are likely to be ingrained in childhood traumatic experiences, probably untreatable through meditation alone. Can't comment on the touch healing method

Flossing and/or water pick Electric toothbrush tongue-scraping regular hygienist check (2* a year) All of those are purely mechanical and do not harm you in any way/ In terms of toothpaste, you have to decide if you believe fluoride being toxic or not. Some do, some don't. Evidence shows it is highly beneficial in reducing the spread of infection, formation of periodontal pockets, periodontitis, tooth loss and gum erosion. If you opt for fluoride-free, you must pay extra attention to your dental routine. Kinda like having unprotected sex. I am yet to see anything convincing that links fluoride in toothpaste to any negative health effects. I wouldn't use alcohol-containing mouthwashes. Even tho the link to oral cancer is very, very tiny and marginal - it exists. Diet is another thing you should be paying attention to, and so is subconscious stress (may cause teeth grinding and enamel erosion at night) Educating yourself on the negative consequences of poor dental health may give you extra motivation to protect your oral health as much as you're protecting your brain and heart. Some additional methods that have poor level of evidence but are worth experimenting are: tea tree gurgling (diluted), COQ10 gels and oral probiotic mouthwashes. I wrote 4 comprehensive blog articles about dental health some time ago, I would say they are relatively unbiased. You can look those up if this is a topic that interests you.

It probably is as long as he compensates with multi-nutrient formulas. I don't really think we know as much about the long-term effects of IF as we think we do. For longevity, less is probably preferable to more as long as he can keep his muscle and bone density from wasting. Any long-term diet where a person is losing muscle mass and bone mass will be cutting lifespan drastically.

His diet (if you can even use that word) is certainly interesting. Somewhat medium protein with a bit of additional protein pwoders, medium fat, very high plant, high fibre. I don't see much meat in there. He is an absolute antioxidant and polyphenol freak! This would have matched my assumption on what a longevity diet looks like (outside of the supplements and powders) You have to balance being strong as fuck in your youth (eating a lot of meat) with remaining healthy across the lifespan (eating predominantly plants) - antagonistic pleiotropy at its best. I also wonder why he doesn't introduce more plant protein from stuff like tofu rather than eating powders and amino acids, maybe he is worried about the ageing of his GIT tract Breakfast: Super Veggie Broccoli, 250 grams Cauliflower, 150 grams Spinach, 70 grams Shitake or Maitake Mushrooms, 50grams Black lentils, 300 grams Garlic, 1 clove Ginger Root, 3 grams Lime Juice, 1 Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 Tbsp Hemp Seeds, 1 Tbsp Flavored with NuSalt Lunch: leafy greens, vegetables, berries, seeds and nuts Dinner: Nutty Pudding (sweetened w/ 7g of Trehalose) 50-100 mL Almond Milk 2 Tbsp ground macadamia nuts 2 tsp of ground walnuts 1 tsp of ground flaxseed (seed that is ground into flour) 1 Tbsp non dutched cocoa 1 tsp (heaping) 2 T chia seeds 1/2 tsp ceylon cinnamon 1/2 cup blueberries 1/4 cup raspberries 3 cherries 2 oz pomegranate juice Other Olive Oil, 3 Tbsp (45mL) Spermidine, as chlorella powder, 15g giving 13.5mg spermidine Pea Protein Collagen Peptides Amino complex Creatine, 2.5g

Probably not. I am finding it gradually harder and harder to justify the cost : benefit ratio of eating greens with the increasing grocery prices. They won't harm you but if your diet is otherwise good enough, they might not be adding any major benefits. That being said I still recommend them to clients in certain situations where green smoothies are easy way to cover nutritional deficiencies. ..(subject to grocery budget ofcourse) Plenty of other veggies or legumes that probably have similar nutrient density at 1/10 of the cost

Says Shawn while wearing earbuds in his videos I mean come on.... Consistency brother, consistency !!!!! Not meaning to start anything here, I use them myself, maybe one day I'll get that brain tumour alongside with 500 milion other users..let's just say we are the biggest epidemiology research group that nobody has ever got ethical approval for. I hope someone out there is secretly monitoring all of this

Well to be honest, the moderator looks much healthier , his Alan Richson-like looks are melting my heterosexual heart

bro what the actual fuck

@Applegarden8 well, I'll just say that my ,25 year old mom, 30 years ago had no idea about such a thing ?
