Our bodies have evolved to store body fat around the midsection as a survival mechanism. There are 9 times more receptors for fat storage than fat burning in this area. Adrenaline helps activate the fat-burning process, which can help shift the body from storing belly fat to burning it.

High insulin levels can prevent you from losing belly fat. Fasting for 20 hours a day can help lower insulin to your baseline. A HIIT workout during your fast can significantly increase adrenaline to boost belly fat loss. Weight training combined with HIIT can stimulate even more adrenaline.

To reduce visceral fat, it’s critical to lower insulin, which is why 20-hour fasting can be a powerful way to stimulate visceral fat loss.

There are also more cortisol receptors around the midsection than in other areas of the body, so chronic stress could be another reason you’re having trouble losing belly fat. Adequate sleep, sunlight exposure, and avoiding food for three hours before bed are also important for losing belly fat.

If you want to lose belly fat, it’s vital to avoid industrial palm oil, seed oils, sugar, and starches.

Compare natural vs. synthetic vitamins, and why it matters here: https://drbrg.co/4e51Awf

Did you know an 18,000-person clinical trial involving beta-carotene and lung cancer was stopped early after participants taking the supplement had worse outcomes?

Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, but the beta-carotene used in the study was synthetic. Get beta-carotene from food sources for the best results and to avoid potential negative side effects.

Synthetic vitamin E may be okay short term, but with long-term use it can contribute to oxidative stress. Synthetic vitamin A can also create problems, including competing with vitamin D at the receptor level, increasing the risk of birth defects during pregnancy, and increasing the risk of bone fractures. Get vitamin A from foods like egg yolks and cod liver oil.

Other synthetic vitamins and supplements to avoid include:
• Pyridoxine hydrochloride
• Calcium carbonate
• Ergocalciferol

Too much iron can also be damaging to the body, so focus on food sources of iron when possible to avoid consuming too much.

Both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis show up in the joints, but the problem isn’t necessarily coming from the joints themselves.

Osteoarthritis is closely linked to metabolic health, while rheumatoid arthritis involves the immune system and gut health. Antibodies involved in rheumatoid arthritis often originate in the mucus layer of the gut.

Research has shown that drinking just one soda per day may significantly increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Other foods, including modern wheat, corn, and conventional dairy, can also contribute to gut inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is strongly linked to metabolic health. Foods such as sugar, starches, and seed oils can negatively affect metabolic health and contribute to arthritis and joint inflammation.

A carnivore diet can help reduce gut inflammation and arthritis symptoms. It’s also vital to get plenty of the key nutrients that support joint and metabolic health. This includes vitamin D3, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin K2.

Red light therapy may support your mitochondria, the tiny energy factories inside your cells, and help them produce more energy.

Potential red light therapy benefits include:
• Increased cellular energy production
• Reduced oxidative stress
• Increased nitric oxide to support circulation

You don’t necessarily need an expensive red light panel to see benefits. A significant portion of sunlight is made up of red and infrared light.

Red light targets superficial tissues like the skin and hair follicles, while near-infrared light penetrates deeper to support muscles and joints.

Research has shown positive results using red light therapy for hair loss, knee osteoarthritis, fatigue associated with fibromyalgia, cognitive decline, and more.

Check with your healthcare professional before using red light therapy, especially if you have an existing medical condition or take medications or supplements that increase light sensitivity.
