Mindsip insights from this episode:
Address gut health to combat heart disease
The speaker's core theory is that heart disease is primarily a gut bacteria problem that leads to poor Vitamin K availability, which is also influenced by Vitamin D and thyroid health.
Implement daily formula to reverse heart plaque
The speaker's personal formula for reversing heart plaque is a daily dose of 25mg of MK4, 5mg of K1, 0.5mg of MK7, and 2mg of micro-encapsulated astaxanthin.
Incorporate fermented meats for longevity like Andorrans
People in Andorra, the country with the longest life expectancy, eat a diet rich in fermented meats and sausages, which are high in various forms of Vitamin K (MKS).
Reassess vitamin K's fat-solubility for consistent intake
The term 'fat-soluble' for Vitamin K is a misnomer, as it simply means it travels on lipoproteins and stays in your system for a maximum of five days, requiring consistent intake.
Boost athletic endurance with Vitamin K MK7
Taking less than a milligram of Vitamin K in the MK7 form can boost athletic endurance by up to 12% by binding up performance-inhibiting peroxides.
Test fetuin-A to assess calcium transport in blood
Fetuin-A is a critical protein that carries calcium in the blood, but it's rarely tested for unless you are a chronic kidney disease patient.
Monitor neutrophil to HDL ratio for low systemic inflammation
The neutrophil to HDL ratio is an emerging blood marker for health, where a high HDL and low neutrophil count is ideal for indicating low systemic inflammation.
Investigate MMR vaccine's link to heart disease and thyroid issues
The speaker claims an MMR vaccine shut off his thyroid and caused insulin dysregulation, leading to a 40-fold increase in his calcium score from 20 to 800.
