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 ?

@integral probably a dose dependant effect it is easier to get higher doses from concentrated oil

Definitely more refried beans and i wouldn't be too shy with more tortilla chips either, I heard that stuff is good for you ?

if your BP is already low, fish oil can reduce it even further, this is why they (including fish) are so useful for cardiovascular health, because of their anticoagulant effect combined with hypotensive effects which is why they are not generally recommended for cardiac patients who are on meds already. Hawthorn, allicin, aspirin, ginkgo, gotu kola and bunch of other nutraceuticals can do that to you as well So the dizziness might be an effect of hypotension. But it might be down to something else too, hypoglycemia maybe too if you generally eat low carb diet, maybe there is an effect on blood glucose as well. Might be a combination of multiple factors

What is your average daily blood pressure?

@Something Funny still not onboard but I gotta admit some of those hiking shoes actually look pretty solid Perhaps one day....

I think it is a combination of both but it is probably bottom-up rather than top-down. You can have the most generous LP on the planet but if nobody cares about it, your basic survival will be harder to cover. Unless, of course there is a system in place that helps you to just work on your LP and ignore the monetary part such as having a wealthy family, large savings or trading your work for a basic living (e.g. exchanging work for food & shelter in a sort of a monk fashion) I also agree with your hypothesis that you should first have the lower levels in place before embarking on this as holes in the pyramid will make the whole thing collapse. Things that should be put in place before a pursuit of purpose are: finances (having some form of stable income even if lower), relationships (or at least sexual fulfilment), living situation & non-toxic environment, habits (work ethic, exercise habits, mindfulness habits, routines), relative emotional mastery, mindset (being prepared to spend a lot of money on all sorts of things LP & business related), some education, some world experience (such as travel) , lot of prior reading and research, becoming realistic optimist rather than a naive optimist. You will often hear cliche things such as "you just have to follow your heart and al the pieces will fall in place" but I think that's just bs and unless you are extremely strategic and ruthless with your time & effort, it will eventually fail and force one to go back to wage slavery. I used to be extremely optimistic but now having been in the middle of it for the last 3 years all my romantic notions have kinda died out and I've become extremely practical and realistic with this - unless one is willing to put the work, time and money in, it won't happen. And you may still be doing the right things, working 12-hour days, making videos, reels, posts, paying other experts - and it still won't happen....at least that's how I see it right now. But my strategy is far from ideal, there are many things I should be doing and am not because of my own limiting beliefs. And a lot of what I do bears no fruit and needs to be changed. Ina way, feels like learning how to survive after being thrown out of a chopper in the middle of a forest. You're kinda going at it and hope you're doing the right things before time runs out (or in this case before your savings run dry if you dont have a secondary income)

not on the ones I've seen people wear - that stuff would be cut through by a blunt rock. I'm sure there are betetr quality ones with thicker sole which then kinda defeats the purpose of "bare foot shoe" you can do that perfectly well with regular shoes - this one is more about mental mindfulness than suddenly getting some magical effect from the shoes. You can walk in ski boots and be perfectly mindful. You might be right, I would bet most types of those injuries come down to matching wrong shoes to the wrong weather or doing stupid shit. When it comes to accidental tripping, I think you would be fine as long as the shoes you wear are sturdy enough Most walking I do (outside of the gym and commute) is out in forests, on coasts and basically outdoor. I can't imagine doing 25km outdoor hike 3 days in a row in barefoot shoes. Nothing beats good quality sturdy shoes with reinforced sole and additional protection for your calves. If most of your walking is around carpets or flat roads of town centre, that's probably okay. And finally, there is a reason we wear socks because they help prevent deposit of sweat, bacteria and dead skin inside the shoes. Not sure how protected you are from that in barefoot shoes. You can tell I'm biased I've just done too many gimmicks over my lifetime most of which were nothing but a wasted money so I got to a point where I'm extremely sceptical about every new hype such as this.

All it takes is a random shard of glass or an upward-pointing rusty nail to answer the question. (although standard shoes are unlikely to protect from the later either) I definitely wouldn't use them when going out of your usual environment where you can actually injure your feet with sharp objects or run at a higher risk of ankle dislocations. I heard they are great for squatting tho so if you're a heavy lifter they may help. Overall they are unlikely to stand up to the hype

Yeah it can turn to that if you allow it, that's a fair criticism. The way I see this book is that it is a set of different tools and things to keep at the back of your mind, as you go through the day, to do, if you can. I don't think doing the whole thing 100% is too practical, I agree with you on that. It should be a pick & choose a method, like a buffer of choices. Over time you'll see which work and which don't. But it is the small things people can apply (many of which they would have never heard about before) But just as with any health book, you can take it too far and turn it into a dogma or a bible...that's for sure.
