all right so we’re going to talk about what to  do if you have calcification in your arteries i’ve done other videos on this there’s a really  good test that you can do to determine if you do have calcium in your arteries in fact  it’s one of the best predictors of mortality so i’ll put a link down below for more information  on that if you are not familiar with that test but this video is on a protocol that i would recommend  to help undo the calcification in your arteries of course the best thing is to prevent it but what  do you do if you actually have calcium buildup in the arteries all the things that i’m going to talk  about are not meant to replace your medical care just do your own research i put some links down  below for every single thing i’m going to talk about the first natural compound is allicin  which happens to be the phytonutrient in garlic some real interesting research on the association  of allicin and decrease artery calcification in animals so if you have a pet with a  calcified coronary artery start feeding them garlic immediately number two butyrate now what is  butyrate butyrate is a compound that your microbes in your gut make when you feed the microbes fiber  and i’m going to recommend vegetable fiber but it is actually a type of fat it’s a small chain fatty  acid that’s produced in your gut from microbes from vegetable fiber and that too is associated  with a decreased risk of artery disease now number three lycopene this is a phytonutrient  in tomatoes it’s in a lot of other vegetables and there’s some real interesting data of showing  how lycopene can decrease the thickness of the wall of your arteries and also decrease the  stiffness and this is why sometimes you’ll see some crazy claims that oh now you can have ketchup  and it’s going to decrease your risk for heart disease because ketchup has lycopene of course we  know that’s not going to happen now also if you add olive oil when you’re cooking it can greatly  increase the amount of lycopene up to 82 percent and that is because like other phytonutrients  lycopene is a fat soluble compound which means it requires bile and adding more oil into the  diet can greatly enhance the absorption all right number four omega-3 fatty acids the sabian fish  oils definitely cod liver oil which i recommend more than fish oils i mean we know that omega-3  is good for so many things but its main action in relationship to your arteries is the decrease  in inflammation but it can also increase the risk of getting a clot now on the flip side the omega 6  fatty acids increase stiffness of the arteries and it can increase the clotting factor and when  i’m talking about omega-6 i’m talking about the soy oil the corn oil the canola the cotton  seed now there is one type of omega-6 that is very friendly to your arteries and it doesn’t  increase inflammation and that would be called gla or gamma linolenic acid this would be like borage  oil black currant seed oil evening primrose oil so GLA can help decrease inflammation it can help  decrease thickness in your arteries it can also decrease the plaque formation in your arteries i  put some links down below very very interesting all right number six vitamin k2 you probably knew  this was coming i would recommend getting the mk-7 version and i would consume about 300 micrograms  every single day now what does vitamin k2 do it activates a certain protein that inhibits  calcium from forming in the arteries so that’s a very very important one number seven tocotrienols  tocotrienols is one form of the vitamin e complex and it’s about 50 times stronger than tocopherols  and it can greatly decrease inflammation in your arteries it can decrease something called  c-reactive protein which is an inflammatory compound by 40 and lastly and most importantly  is doing whatever you can to decrease and reverse insulin resistance there’s a direct relationship  between having insulin resistance and having calcification in your arteries and so a lot  of these other remedies are not going to work unless you also correct insulin resistance how  if you’re new to my channel i put the link down below you need to do healthy keto and definitely  intermittent fasting for a period of time to start making changes but it’s my opinion that the  combination of addressing insulin resistance with tocotrienols with k2 with allicin and omega-3  are probably the most important things you can do and these other compounds are are also good but  i think using them more as a secondary approach thanks so much for watching i’ll see you in the  next video before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want  to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the US hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
