hey guys dr. Burke here in this video I’m gonna answer a question do I need to take supplements if I’m already healthy okay really good question well the first thing we’re gonna talk about is what is healthy what does healthy mean does it mean while not in any medications I’m not grossly overweight well let’s just take a look the definition of health should be someone that has amazing energy great sleep no inflammation in the body good digestion good adrenals everything is working and it’s optimum and try to find someone like that I haven’t found anyone like that so we all have body issues going on so if your health is really really perfect and then maybe you know don’t need to supplement but even then it’s very difficult to get food that has all the nutrients because the soils are so depleted in America now in other parts of the world it’s much better there’s higher levels of nutrients in food and different places like for example Africa people that are actually live in Africa their teeth are really really strong we have huge roots good dental structure because the soils are so rich now if you were raised on food that was grown on incredibly fertile soil that’s a whole different conversation but in America the soil is empty so the food is empty you can only get so much nutrients from the food if the soil doesn’t provide for the nutrients now if you had a past history of eating junk food like myself I lived on pure sugar until I was probably 20 22 years old the only thing green that I ate was pistachio ice cream and lime green jello I never even ate a vegetable so my health was very very bad it caught up with me by the way but the point is that your history has a lot to do with your current health stress wise environmental eating junk foods just depriving the body so yes you’re gonna need supplements to actually support the weak links that are occurring from the past problems in your digestion your adrenals so you have inflammatory conditions chronic sleep issues let’s say you’re in a bad marriage for 10 years and you’re stressed out well your renals need some support so you’re going to have to add supplements now when you’re doing the keto adaptation where your body is switching over from fat to sugar it’s really necessary to beef up B vitamins and trace minerals very important because you’re not going to get that from the food especially if you want to avoid various symptoms keto rash keto flu keto fatigue and all the other symptoms and then we have the factor of in the environment we live in a chemical planet every year there’s new chemicals in the environment you’re constantly being exposed so what’s gonna happen that’s going to mess up your endocrine system your liver and that will prevent you from absorbing nutrients encountering the benefits of nutrients the nutrients and food especially the phytonutrients are there to dismantle and clean up these chemicals but if you’re not consuming enough of the right of vegetables for like cruciferous and things like that and you’re not going to actually extract those poisons in your body and then we have just getting our RTA’s or our requirement nutrients I think a lot of people don’t realize how much food you have to consume to get your basic necessities like even potassium you need 4700 milligrams very rarely will anyone consume enough vegetables to get that you need 7 to 10 cups so it’s virtually almost impossible to get your basic nutrient requirements based on the soils based on the environmental toxicity and also the current body problems that people have so I want to give you a quick example of how I use nutrients on different conditions here’s one right here digest formula this is an acid to help you absorb protein and minerals so if your stomach acid is not strong enough you can’t pull that in so we’re not providing nutrients we’re providing the ability to absorb your nutrients here’s another example right here gall bladder formula this doesn’t have any nutrients in it it has bile purify bile salts to help you extract the fat soluble vitamins from the food that you’re already eating so this those two just helped absorption this one this targets the nutrient for the adrenals to help with stress especially if you have if your weak link is adrenal okay and then we have the night formula for the adrenal - to support the adrenals in a different way to help you relax go to sleep so your energy can start rejuvenating and you can support the adrenals through a good night’s sleep here’s another example of a stronger adrenal product for those people that have advanced adrenal fatigue okay this product would be more of a concentrated cruciferous which is a blend of about 13 different cruciferous vegetables which help give you a broad-based spectrum of the foods that most people don’t consume so you can actually help support a healthy liver and then we have something called estrogen balance with dim okay now dim is a concentrated cruciferous you’d have to consume 2 pounds of cruciferous to equal just one pill and the reason I created this is just because a lot of people are estrogen dominant and we need to balance that so that that’s what that’s for and then we have this one called organic raw wheatgrass juice powder now when teaspoon of this is equivalent to about nine to eleven shots of wheatgrass ok that’s an entire tray of wheatgrass it’d be very difficult to consume that much food so it’s a very concentrated and the cool thing is the wheatgrass has grown on a super rich fertile soil so you get the the benefit of those trace minerals without the high heat so everything’s under low heat so we have this super enzyme rich concentrated superfood and then we have the electrolyte powder again minerals trace minerals but a lot of potassium each teaspoon is a thousand milligrams our bodies need 4700 milligrams of potassium every day that’s like seven to ten cups of vegetable not like iceberg lettuce but high-quality vegetable there are a few people do that so this allows people to enhance the diet so I’m just showing you those to show you that the purpose of supplements are not necessarily always to get the nutrients but to support weak links in the body and help you absorb the nutrients that you’re already getting from the diet alright thanks for watching so Karen and I are going to create some more recipes but we wanted to know what recipes are you interested in okay click the link and let us know
