holistic sleep remedies help too B-epic is amazing for gut help and its white tablet is amazing for sleep I we dont like the green coffee upper tho just be warned it creates energy but shaking and the oesophagus irritant
The CURE for insomnia is physical ACTIVITY, NOT DRUGS. THE SUN and activity is the only remedy. Remember, she is a an Allopathic practitioner, not holistic. She herself has a sleep disorder due to lack of activity. Yet, as one ages, the will to exercise could diminish. Thats where the road meets the r u beer and we either force ourselves or take pharmaceuticals. THE basic eating of whole organic food, least greens, fruit n vegetable protein far, far surpasses the slow digestion of animal protein. Less is more.,
This woman is what all doctors should be. She's well versed in the medical literature but also relies on her own direct experience and treats her patients as individuals.
Did you try magnesium, Dr. Gominak? I dilute a magnesium glycine tablet in a small bottle of water( travel size) and rub that on my legs when I get restless legs. Sometimes I have to do it twice- from back of thigh to and including a nkles. Yvonne Kasper
@@WideAwakeHuman Yeah and that's how people learn, isn't it! ... often just be keeping their mouths shut and listening to others. Doesn't mean we have to accept their sentiment BUT should listen to their view point, and THEN decide. I find that FEW peops do this. They just want to YAP over others. Those peops never learn a thing.
Is anyone out there connecting the dots? Low carbs, no refined oils, intermittent fasting, eat real food, Sun light, moderate exercise, adequate sleep, inhaling through your nose, stay hydrated, look at the world as a glass half full, do random acts of kindness, be grateful and love yourself. “You will live long and prosper”
And most important of ALL? *"Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart ❤, and with all thy soul 🙏 and with all thy mind 🧠. And love thy neighbor as thyself. 💘 💘❤💕*
"My patient brought me a book and I read it" WOW, I am in owe of this incredibly humble and knowledgable doctor. She has answers because she's seeking them. I could listen to her all day. Her logic and inquisitive mind is so admirable. We would all be much healthier if the medical profession where anything like that amazing doctor. Thank you so much for all your valuable work
I tried to tell my Endocrinologist, I’d bring him some information that I had on iodine and he quickly responded, “My nurse can do that”. I argue with him every time I have an appointment.
I don't even try to share any information I come across with any doctors, they get really upset and defensive and try to make you feel you don't know what you're talking about. It's so sad when when most health practitioners are so unhelpful that it's left to the individual to take their health in their own hands. My training is in engineering so it takes me hour and weeks of research for each health topic.
@@97grad I’ve come to the same conclusion only I now regard most of the health profession as downright dangerous. Not for acute issues, such a broken bone etc, but for general health. Better to be responsible for yourself.
Yea, where have those all gone! Longing for the days of "Dr. Marcus Welby, MD." when doctors (and nurses) actually liked and cared for their patients and we were not just a number coming thru the door.
@@missimagoodladySort of but not really. If by drug you mean a substance that has an acute effect on the body when administered, then yes. But considering vitamins are necessary to proper bodily function and drugs' mechanism of action is typically interrupting normal function whether for good or ill, I wouldn't put them in the same category.
I listened to this a few years ago, I could not sleep at all and felt like I was going to die. It affected my personality, it was awful. I saw her video and followed what she said and over some time my good sleep pattern was restored. I could not remember her name and wanted to tell someone recently to watch this. I saw this come up the other day and I said that's her!!! I just want to testify to the fact of how much it helped me.
At the opening of this video is she saying D or B? It sounded like B vitamins and I know there are more than one kind of B but isn't there only one kind of D?
I am sure a seminar like this would cost $$ and people would fill the seats. I am thankful for this free information to educate people like me. This doctor is freely giving her years of experience to help inform the public. ❤
Setting med topics aside, her personality is refreshing. Attitude, demeanor, disposition, and respect for the audience and material is 10 out of 10. The younger gens should take note.
U can see she cares about helping people shes never trying to show off and admits to where she knows her knowledge is limited which ohhhh my God i wish more people would do.
What tops it off for me is her humbleness when she says she’s not knowledgeable about a certain subject...I love this. I find people who acknowledge their limited knowledge about something to be the most knowledgeable out of everyone!
This is perfect . To achieve knowledge you have to know your ledge .you limits of which will guide you to enlightenment . ( the light on in the mind ) because when your switched on, having a high iQ doesnt mean your a genius it means you have the ability not just to learn by being a pupil seeing through the eyes but by being the teacher of your own mind. She is the ultimate example of wisdom and that which you can not learn.
Hats off to a doctor that says she does not know it all and didn't learn everything in school I had one good doctor like this years ago. Wish all were this good.
@@donsimons9810 no, you’re wrong. It does show high emotional intelligence, as well as technical intelligence. Translation into a metaphor or scenario that anyone can understand is essential for the vast majority of people who aren’t oriented towards specific jargon. She actually wants to help people. And she actually wants them to understand what she has discovered. That’s why she’s not arrogant, & dismissive.
Im vitamin D deficient all the time....I cannot sleep at night, have severe headache and backpain...I'm diagnosed with fibromyalgia....now I can connect the dots after watching this.. Thanks and love from India ❤️
Kudos to the interviewer. He didn't interrupt this very knowledgeable doctor. That's why everything is clearly detailed. Thank you very much for this informative healthy facts.
This is remarkable content dude. As a potential researcher in sleep disorders I find this groundbreaking. Not that many youtube channels where you can hear doctors as knowledgeable and intelligent as Dr Stasha Gominak. She's incredible.
She hits the nail on the head when she says people are blamed for their sleep problems. No doctor has ever approached my problem from this angle, not even sleep specialists. In fact, I had a Vitamin D level of 17 and they didn't even bother to tell me. A new functional medicine doctor mentioned it a year later. I've been challenged on how much coffee I drink when I drink NONE. I've been brought to task for staying in bed when I cannot sleep. If I got up to do things I would NEVER sleep. Of course people break sleep hygiene rules when they haven't worked. Now that I've started keto and supplements for my adrenals (including Vitamin D) I'm beginning to see some improvements in sleep. I've waited 12 years for this information and much of that was spent in futility in doctors offices. Mike, thank you for all of the information you're bringing to people.
It was similar for me Laurie. I used fairly strong prescription sleeping pills to sleep for many years and my Vitamin D level in early 2016 was 10.5. It's now close to 70 and after 1.5 years of eating a whole foods based ketogenic diet I now sleep perfectly every night. I haven't even so much as taken aspirin since starting keto let alone any prescriptions. Congrats -- sounds like you're well on the way to some amazing personal changes.
I've been sleeping great since I started hitting the circuit breaker and cutting the electrical power to my bedroom before going to bed every night. NO WIRELESS, NO CELL PHONE, NO ELECTRICITY. Something else to try😊!!!
@@jhask64 If turning all the power off is not an option, then you could investigate filters for each outlet. I bought some years ago...I think they were called Stetzerizer by Graham Stetzer. They supposedly filter out dirty electricity that comes in from the grid. Not sure if they are still around, but something you might want to check out:)
@@ajvoiceovers3349 I live in Dallas Texas and lost power and during those four nights that we lost power I have never slept better in my life! I definitely think with all the phone towers down and all the dirty electricity that we have now it really does affect peoples health.
I'm struggling with my husband unable to sleep. Parkinson's strangely was diagnosed a few years after he had very low B12 and was given shots for it. His Vitamin D is very low ... pretty eye opening, detailed and comprehensive video. I'm getting some understanding of his condition... thank you.
This information is mind-blowing. Our children don't need more blood tests and medications; just let them spend more time outdoors. God created our bodies in a way that it has the capability to heal itself if placed in the right environment...and that's nature.
In the UK doctors rarely look at deficiencies, and seem to treat the symptoms only. It is about time doctors took a holistic approach, encouraging good health using nutrient and lifestyle changes, instead of temporary drug fixes for symptoms. Thankyou for this info on what we can do for ourselves!
Pharmaceutical companies would go broke if doctors stop prescribing drugs. Gates is the richest man in the world he didn’t get that way by not selling drugs.
I agree 👍 unless you are medically deficient they are not trained to think about it. They get an hour long lecture on nutrition in med school so unless you find a Dr with an interest in nutrition they look at you like you've got two heads if you ask about nutritional deficiencies 😂
Wow amazing! Such a knowledgeable doctor. As a nurse I feel guilty that we treat patients with just medication instead of dealing with the root. Great video thank you for freely giving out this information.
You have a choice to change that. Have you began to make the change, inform your patients & given them the choice to change; rather than you just treating them with medications!?
Have you informed your patients of glyphosate in wheat most likely being detrimental to their health:)? And the dangers of sweeteners & dextrose on items, etc? I appreciate you may not have the time to teach them in details; however, I do think you could definitely inform them of these I've listed & tell them to research on google & TH-cam, don't you:)?
@@makaismith2071 obviously this is breaking news. It hasn’t been taught yet in their college courses. Doctors and Nurses treat patients after they have become sick, injured, debilitated.
@@makaismith2071 im a nurse and i have a chronic disease so have moved on from acute care. I now teach but beat to the same drum: you follow policy of employer and strive for best practices as much as possible. Unfortunately many professionals will reprimand people going against the grain, even when it is evidence based. This is someones livelihood and discretion must be taken. To do that in situations not calling for it could mean their job and livelihood. Im not saying its right but its not as easy as just pouring your heart about it. As a nurse you cannot take advantage of someones trust, discuss personal things and you must follow policy..so going against will bring a hammer down. I take discretion for my license first when in my personal time only.. What I say is for education purposes only and always work with your primary care practitioner for all dietary changes. I will not help someone change their diet until they understand what's happening in their body and the doctor is taking charge of meds. It would be highly irresponsible to not be thorough or be able to follow up appropriately. Those are my nurse pennies. 🖖🙏
I am Black. She's right about most black folks have Vitamin D deficiency. I REALLY respect her for saying that people of color (especially the children) NEED VITAMIN D supplementation. Darker skin needs even MORE sunlight then lighter skin to make Vt D since it evolved in high sunlight environments. Great video.
I wish all those protestors would protest the fact doctors aren't telling their black patients to take vitamin D. If you study all the statistics, you will see millions die worldwide of vitamin D deficiency related diseases every year. But doctors are taught to manage those diseases with expensive patented drugs, instead of curing them with what the body needs! So glad you know.
Darylne... I am white, of Irish descent, and had a severe vitamin D deficiency. Sorry to say, doctors don’t tell any of us about vitamin D deficiency. It is only this last year or two that the mainstream medical establishment in the US is finally starting to come clean about the fact that most human beings of any color are deficient ( and in magnesium and B vites as well). You see, if we all stay healthy, drug companies lose money. And drug companies absolutely hate that a simple non-pharmaceutical can take a huge bite out of their profits. Yes, doctors absolutely need to tell black and brown folks about vitamin D. They need to tell everyone. I have been telling my black husband of 20 years that he is deficient and he would not believe me until he finally went to the doctor and was told he was nearly depleted. He thought he was completely healthy since he’s athletic and in great shape for his age. He doesn’t drink, smoke or engage in any risky behavior. He watches me take my daily 20,000 IUs of vitamin D3 $ K2 And was too arrogant to consider that he was also deficient. He now tells all of his black friends to get checked out.
@@sethpawlik ... it’s the same for every single community in every part of the world. Every person who has died of any type of cancer was severely deficient in vitamin D. It’s well documented, yet American cancer societies refuse to make that knowledge front and center. Front and center, though, is their constant request for donations to keep their organizations running. Imagine if every single person corrected their vitamin D deficiencies. Within a single decade or generation, deaths from cancer drastically drop to very few.
@@davidroberts3262 ... you’re correct in what you say about the doctors, but what do protesters have to do with it? And which protesters are you referring to? Wouldn’t it be more helpful to suggest that doctors protest for our health rather than keeping pharmaceutical companies in business?
They do. Children I work with have rubbish diets. I’m surprised they’re still alive! Junk replaces fruit and veg . Reconstituted meats and no real nutritional there. Children brain washed by advertising. Addicted to the preservatives and addictive. The parents fault . The government’s fault . The parents are also addicted to fast food and junk food . Schools teach healthy eating but the information is way outdated . Treats are often foods that damage us . The focus needs to be changing the usage of treat , the word . The actual meaning . Good that damages humans is poison not a treat . Thinking and actions need changes . We can cure ourselves but culture and trends will kill us . Take care I’m on your side ❤
Yes ! I worry about all the kids in daycare always often chemical sunscreen covered . And there seems to be the belief oh gosh my kids in daycare of course they’re getting sick it’s annoying but what can you expect?😮
Totally Eating one ingredient foods that are as local as possible and untainted by chemicals. Spending time in the sun. Exercising everyday. Sleeping 6-10 hours...whatever works for your body. Avoiding sugar.
She comes across as a physician who not only cares about her patients, but who will go to any length necessary to find the answers that she does not already know. Well done.
An intelligent, good and caring doctor who is willing to go out of her way to investigate and devise strategies to solve patients problems instead of blindly following procedures and instructions taught in college. I wish we have more of doctors like her in this world.
Wow. Impressive Information. Thank you so much for your goal to enlighten other Neurologist and general practitioners. As a nurse and a patient with bizarre pain and no relief, muchless practioners poor understanding of such super important BASIC BUT COMPLICATED building block. Thank you!
Gold standard interview - both interviewer and interviewee super intelligent; both well prepared to talk about complex topic. Learning so much, already watch it 2 times, probably will need to watch it many more times to comprehend it completely better.
What an amazing doctor.......look how many people are now being recommended and subscribe Vit D since Covid began. She’s been so dedicated and humble in her research. So impressive.
I saw this interview in 2019. I started Dr. Gominak's program in November of that year, and I've been following her advice ever since. I regained my life. After more than 15 years of being a zombie, I am human again. So, thanks! :)
I love her so much cause she doesnt act like she knows everything. She always says “and these are my beliefs” this is someone you want to work with and do research with
As a retired nurse, 67 years old, healthy weight (finally), no metabolic disorders, walking outdoors 60-90 minutes a day, 7 days a week, sleeping 9 hours each night, low carb diet, this answers many of my questions about why I look and feel so much better than many of my age cohorts. I do take vitamin D, B100 and B12. As the neurologist was talking, I was thinking of so many young people I know who do suffer fro chronic sleep disorders, irritability, ADHD, obesity and other health issues.
How many of you have either been a hospital patient or had someone you know or a loved one in the hospital? What is typically done that contradicts common sense?

Excellent!! So I'm a licensed sleep technologist, in sleep medicine for 20 years, and I've always had the understanding that we are paralyzed in REM so as not to act out our dreams. I just heard a totally different take on that today. Also, I have been deeply inspired by this video. I just finished my Master's degree in clinical nutrition with a very functional and integrative approach and very much interested in microbiome research. Thank you for helping me to see for the first time a connection between the microbiome and sleep and how I might pursue this further as a career. Awesome presentation!
A truly gifted scientist , so clearly communicated with Mike ( I think because she felt Mike was really understanding and hearing her with awe and appreciating the information she shared and the connections her mind had made with out having to to say he understood. Amazing communicator of her findings, and so relieved to share them with Mike because he let her know silently, he understood the science enough to value her and even reinforce many of her small hypothesis that built up to key or most ground breaking final hypothesis. Excellent talk with a great interviewer. Thank you both so much.
"It's not about how much you eat, as what you eat", and of course the quality of food. Vitamin D, is essential. Thank you both, a good teacher explains clearly.
I suffered low energy for more than 5 years and had no idea that I was deficient in Vitamin D. Several tests were conducted and everything showed I was in perfect health, yet I couldn't stop feeling tired with extremely low energy. It was through a "miracle" that a lab tested for my vitamin D and realised it was significantly low. In fact, they were surprised I was even functioning at all. I have never joked with my Vitamin D after that day. I read more about it and realised people with darker skin need to spend more time in the sun for their bodies to metabolise vitamin D. If you live in cold weather or do not get enough sunlight, please get yourself a good Vit D supplement. Please remember, it is important to check with your doctor before taking any medication. Knowledge is power.
This video is phenomenal. I saved it years ago when I was making a vitamin d playlist and was impressed but a few years later I’m watching it again and combining this information with other experts in the field and it’s mind boggling how much you can learn to improve your life
This is the best interview that I've ever seen. As a registered nurse, autoimmune sufferer, mother of a 26 year old with severe sleep issues and a mother of a 22 year old with narrow palate, EVERYTHING she said was powerful. Please bring her back again and again. She speaks so well. I could have listened to her for several hours. Interestingly...I and my children grew up in the country, playing outside with no sunscreen. I think that there is a genetic component that she is missing.
My partner always was complaining about lack of sleep, but since Covid started we have been taking Vitamin D, C and Zinc. She's been sleeping like a baby for months now, not only that but her bowels are more regular, and she isn't sick every week like she use to be.
I am vitamin D deficient as per a lab test. I’ve been prescribed a vitamin D/ calcium supplement. I read the vitamin D supplement is actually a hormone which concerns me. Can I receive enough vitamin D via the sun as a natural alternative vs a supplement?
This is just a wonderful interview. I love Dr Gominak's humility regarding things she has tried that didn't go so well, and how her journey has been one of trial and error. This is incredibly important information for our times. Thankyou.
This has been one of the most helpful episodes yet. At least for me. I have had horrible sleep issues for many years, body pain, weight gain, depression, and horrid migraine headaches for much of my life. A couple years ago I started having heart rhythm issues as well. I very much felt as if my body was against me and that I was going to age at an accelerated rate. I started with melatonin which gave small results for the sleep portion but enough for me to continue. I knew that low vitamin D was an issue for me from blood tests. So that came next. I take 5000iu daily. My mood elevated slightly and at least the fog was gone. Next was magnesium I started taking it nightly and my sleep and headache pain improved even more. My heart rhythm is starting to even out! There’s light at the end of that tunnel. I do get the burning and prickly feelings in my hands and feet. So next is B vitamins. I will continue with this. This talk is divine in nature. At least for me. It was as if the clouds parted. This is me on so many levels. I believe I will find that balance now. Thank you so very much!
Thank you for your story! So sorry about your issues. You need to take Magnesium and also Valeriana root together, an one hour before bed. It will calm down your stress harmonious and you will have good, deep healthy rest. And meditation is a big help 🙏 as well! Good luck!
We spend too much time indoors. I remember how I happily run out from my house to the street to play with children. And even by myself I enjoyed being outside. When we got older we forget this or don't have time for this.
I am 56 years old and I have been eating one meal a day since I was 19 years old before any of this was known, I had read that Buddhist monks eat one meal a day, that's what gave me the idea
@@exolglecy1719if u r not addicted to carbs, it’s easy. Just pack that meal with proper fiber, fats, and some protein. U will absolutely love it. I do eat something sweet at d end, like a half a cup of sweet potato or some sweet raw cashews. D thing is it doesn’t taste sweet to u unless u r not addicted to carbs. U must first work of ur pallet. U can do it simultaneously; over time u start tasting things u never knew existed. Everything tastes so much sweeter on its own 😂😂
Dr Gominak is just incredible! Not just a brilliant intellect but knowledgeable across such a wide range of topics. She is a true thinker bringing together so many (seemingly) disparate theories and able to distill the salient points for her audience. Also lovely to see someone so clearly at the top of her field and yet so modest, natural and down to earth. She really should be advising governments and public health organisations as strategy in many areas is poorly informed. This is my all time favourite video on TH-cam and greatly appreciative of Mike for introducing us to the brilliant Dr Gominak.
Wow!! She is AMAZING! I am so impressed and grateful for her desire & effort to be HONEST and open minded to aspects of our deeply intricate bodies and the way it functions. God/ source created a healing machine that is difficult to understand unless you are really paying attn to its behavior. So many chemicals that process like magic. Thank you so much for really working toward honest understanding of the body in health and sickness.
I'm sorry that's happened to you. Doctors have also told me many mean things but didnt do the research, proper testing, or give me tools to help change me
Saved this video in my playlist, goldmine of information, doctors nowadays are clueless to most of this, meanwhile people are dying from lack of proper nutrition and are being prescribed painkillers and antibiotics
This doctor makes so much sense and I was glued to everything she said. I’ve had major sleep issues which led to severe physical symptoms. My doctors had no clue why I was so ill and made the suggestion that it was all in my head. I went from being completely normal to not being able to sleep. Sometimes as long as six days and then I would sleep maybe four hours. It was a living hell. My gut was so messed up and I went from 202lbs to 136lbs and looked like a cancer patient. I had to have a feeding tube placed and was on tube feed for nine months. I still struggle with vitamin D and B12 deficiencies but knowledge is power and I’m starting to improve.
My goodenss, I am exactly the same, I went from completely normal to not being able sleep at all and I fear I have fatal insomnia. I only sleep by getting knocked out at night with so many sedatives and sleeping pils. It's like the function of sleep has been lifted from my brain. It is hell as you say. My docor wants to take away my main sleeping pill and if he does I will not sleep. Can you tell me what you have done?
She needs a weekly radio talk show! Or tv show . Move over Doctor Oz. Awesome brilliant doctor this country needs. Ps. Doesn’t she looks a little like Sally Jessie Ralphael. 😍
This is priceless. I don't have words for the amount of wisdom. Mind blowing "connecting the dots" Amazing relationship between "Brain - Gut - Vit D - Bit B - Rem Sleep" Mind = Blown!
Mind blowing ! One of the most important videos I have ever seen. She is incredibly knowledgeable and fearless at the same time, accepting that there were times when she did not know or didn't get the right results. Thank you for not interrupting her flow. Thank you for sharing this incredibly useful knowledge.
Wow!!!!!!! This is the EXACT video I needed to see at this point in my life!!!! Do you know how many problems this video solved for me?? God Bless this lady.....
Cookie Cutter I have more enamel on my teeth now. I now discovered it was the vegan diet that made me lose tooth enamel. My sunken eyes from the vegan diet are also now reversed. I also go outside more now, and I am not afraid of full fat dairy or other animal products anymore. It was a combination of lack of sun and a lack of animal fats in my diet in my particular case. I should watch this video again it has been a long time .
Sabrina hi, i went vegan for 4 months to clean up my liver & i wonder up with Panic Attacks, dry, old looking skin & terrible insomnia. switching to plant based omega 3s was a particularly bad idea because my body couldn’t convert it . that caused the panic attacks. once i went back to normal diet & added a good fish based omega 3, i got better. I’m doing low carb now with intermittent fasting & that seems to really agree with me.
Hey @Sabrina how's everything going on with your life now? I am more interested in the sleep patterns and how your mind is feeling. Any advice or knowledge is much appreciated.
samsky verareddy since I started eating animal products again (I was vegan for 7 years) my mental health has improved. I was mentally and physically declining as a long term vegan. I can’t remember what she said in this video but i probably need to watch it again
This Doctor needs a huge main stream platform from which to announce her hypothesis - but if she's prevented - we can probably guess why. An achievement award (and peer recognition) is not unreasonable to expect.
This video has been posted for less than one month and it's already in the top 7 for HIH site views, and well on it's way to #2 (not sure it takes out Dr. Fung's interview with how wildly popular he has become). Mike - that's a clear indication of the interest we all have for you to bring Dr. Gominak back as soon as you can - again, probably my favorite interview so far and I've seen every one on your site. Congrats!
This video randomly appeared on my watch recommendation list. Thank you for this. What a fascinating, informative interview. He is the best interviewer I’ve seen in ages..... Knowledgeable respectful and professional. And the Dr’s commitment, dedication and persistence to her scientific research is admirable. I particularly valued her honesty in what she acknowledged as her personal observation versus actual proven facts. A breathe of fresh air. I’ve ordered my Bees and D3 already!!!
Well even if you’re going to bed at the right time you might not sleep because you might need vitamin D supplementation because kids don’t go outside anymore. Do not that simple.
@43:33-such great info for childhood bed welters. I5 is not (as commonly thought) that bed welters are sleeping so deeply they do not get the signal to wake to eliminate, but they are not sleeping deeply enough to make the anti-diuretic hormone.
A doctor who actually cares about researching and helping. Lots to think about--especially the deuterium-free water bit. Refreshing! Thank you for the show and the notes!
Try ReMag by Dr Carolyn Dean. It’s crazy how it’s reversed my ME-CFS . No more sleeping for 4 days and it99.99% ,that gets right into the cell. Iodine too ok Dr Edward Group @ Moringa.
I had bad allergies a couple of years ago, I started to treat my gut with gut friendly foods like sauerkraut. It help tremendously. If you ever had antibiotics you need to address your gut ASAP.
Please watch Forks Over Knives @ The Bleeding Edge. D3@ K2 are excellent. No gallbladder,use OXBILE salts. Iodine, Vitamin B 12 . ReMag Magnesium Chloride,is liquid Magnesium,going 99.99% into the cell. Moringa is excellent too , omg Watch Dr Edward Group on all the above vitamins and Moringa as well. My immune system is so much better.
THIS IS SO TRUE!!!! My niece has been diagnosed (at age 10) with autism and her diet is horrible...filled with sugar and junk, not nutritious food. My sister-in-law is now over-medicating her but still feeding her junk. She's regressing, but if I told her it was related to nutritional deficiencies, she'd either ignore me or treat me with contempt. Very sad.
I have a child with autism also and I see first hand how nutrition affects her behavior and if she has pains or not, her ability to focus, if she has stims or not, the amount of meltdowns she has or not, her ability to retain information. Of course they're going to want the sugary foods, it's their gut convincing them that they need those foods in their system, but balancing it out with nutritious foods is the key or finding more nutritious substitutes for the junky food they like. I will typically make my child a smoothie to increase her intake of nutrients. I do a beet, Apple, Ginger, smoothie that I find helps to calm her gut. I juice celery and let her drink celery water along with other stuff, as well as give her a organic multivitamin and a fat source such as olive oil, grapeseed oil, fish oil. Because of their pickiness and the way their body processes things children with autism are frequently deficient in vitamins, minerals etc. If her schedule allows her to it may help your sister in law if she lets her child help her prepare something. I find that when my daughters in the kitchen with me helping me she's more likely to want to taste what she helped make. I let her taste the ingredients separately if she prefers, smell, touch and label whatever ingredients we're using with a name, it not only fulfills those who have sensory issues but also helps them to feel like they have some control of something. It's hard getting them off the crunchy, sugary foods train. For instance as a sweet or candy I'll give my daughter honey sticks or dark chocolate, that way she can satiate her sweet tooth but also get some benefits nutritionally. Sometimes I will hide nutritious foods in other foods. If I'm making spaghetti and meat sauce with a gluten free pasta I'll also steam some pumpkin and puree it and mix it in with the meat sauce. Even making popsicles out of whole fruit/ vegetable juices, that I blend in a NutriBullet. Or pancakes out of bananas or with carrots in it. Or cupcakes with carrots or made out of zucchini. My daughter was very picky and still is. In her earlier years she only wanted to drink almond milk for a very long time. Because of sensory issues some kids with autism don't like how certain foods feel in their mouth or going down their throat. Something that I started using was teething tools, such as a chew stick or achieving tubes or even baby size toothbrushes, the regular ones and the ones that you put on your finger, I rub them inside of her mouth along the sides and along her gums and teeth to desensitize inside her mouth to different textures also using a reward system when she takes a bite to address to behavior aspect of not wanting to eat certain foods. Now she's eating fish, platanos, quinoa and variety of other healthy foods, she doesn't always want to but I do make sure to sit with her as she's eating those non-preferred foods. She still wants to reach for the sugary snacks and foods, I don't completely deprived her but I do try to make her main meals as nutritious as possible and give her SuperFood nutritious smoothies throughout the day. I've been there so I truly sympathize with your sister in law I know it's a tough thing to go through, but just keep on encouraging her and helping her.

The CURE for insomnia is physical ACTIVITY, NOT DRUGS. THE SUN and activity is the only remedy. Remember, she is a an
Allopathic practitioner, not holistic. She herself has a sleep disorder due to lack of activity. Yet, as one ages, the will to exercise
could diminish. Thats where the road meets the r u beer and we either force ourselves or take pharmaceuticals.
THE basic eating of whole organic food, least greens, fruit n vegetable protein far, far surpasses the slow digestion of
animal protein. Less is more.,
This woman is what all doctors should be. She's well versed in the medical literature but also relies on her own direct experience and treats her patients as individuals.
Agree! She wants to HEAL. Too many Drs just learn to treat, not heal. Throw a pill at it bc that is the SOC 😞
Did you try magnesium, Dr. Gominak? I dilute a magnesium glycine tablet in a small bottle of water( travel size) and rub that on my legs when I get restless legs. Sometimes I have to do it twice- from back of thigh to and including a nkles. Yvonne Kasper
That's magnesium glycine chelated r
400 mg.
My auto correct keeps saying glycine but it's glycinate
She is the complete opposite of my doctor from India. He's a a real jerkass.

Her logic and inquisitive mind is so admirable. We would all be much healthier if the medical profession where anything like that amazing doctor. Thank you so much for all your valuable work
I tried to tell my Endocrinologist, I’d bring him some information that I had on iodine and he quickly responded, “My nurse can do that”. I argue with him every time I have an appointment.
I don't even try to share any information I come across with any doctors, they get really upset and defensive and try to make you feel you don't know what you're talking about. It's so sad when when most health practitioners are so unhelpful that it's left to the individual to take their health in their own hands. My training is in engineering so it takes me hour and weeks of research for each health topic.
I totally agree. So many doctors think they are the expert and there is nothing else to learn.
But yet they can’t save people from dying of cancer.
@@97grad I’ve come to the same conclusion only I now regard most of the health profession as downright dangerous. Not for acute issues, such a broken bone etc, but for general health. Better to be responsible for yourself.
And full of common sense!!! Glad she’s old school or she may have exhausted that in Med School too!
Wow! A doctor who wants to CURE her patients. I wish I could find a doctor like her. She gets all of my respect
Yea, where have those all gone! Longing for the days of "Dr. Marcus Welby, MD." when doctors (and nurses) actually liked and cared for their patients and we were not just a number coming thru the door.
Paul Marsh I wholeheartedly agree!
Most want to do just that.
Why cure when you can prolong ill health for maximum profit?
Ryan Tracey That has not been my experience. Or for the few that do want to heal you they’re radically misguided as to how.
No wonder mainstream tv is in crisis. The level of quality of these kind of programs is superb

Hollywood is psychological/propaganda thinly disguised as entertainment. You couldn't pay me to watch most of it.

Although vitamins are drugs.
@@missimagoodlady 🤔 vitamins are drugs?
@@missimagoodladySort of but not really. If by drug you mean a substance that has an acute effect on the body when administered, then yes. But considering vitamins are necessary to proper bodily function and drugs' mechanism of action is typically interrupting normal function whether for good or ill, I wouldn't put them in the same category.

I listened to this a few years ago, I could not sleep at all and felt like I was going to die. It affected my personality, it was awful. I saw her video and followed what she said and over some time my good sleep pattern was restored. I could not remember her name and wanted to tell someone recently to watch this. I saw this come up the other day and I said that's her!!! I just want to testify to the fact of how much it helped me.
At the opening of this video is she saying D or B? It sounded like B vitamins and I know there are more than one kind of B but isn't there only one kind of D?

@@ohjeh7388 So are we not supposed to take B until the vitamin level is at 40 or greater?

She is incredible 🤩
I knew a Navajo once & asked him how to know if a medicine man is real & he said they dont charge $.
So true. And very grateful here 🙏💙

Setting med topics aside, her personality is refreshing. Attitude, demeanor, disposition, and respect for the audience and material is 10 out of 10. The younger gens should take note.
U can see she cares about helping people shes never trying to show off and admits to where she knows her knowledge is limited which ohhhh my God i wish more people would do.
I felt the Same thing. Her demeanor instantly drew me in.
Yes plus she isn’t selling an on line course either or her own supplements
What tops it off for me is her humbleness when she says she’s not knowledgeable about a certain subject...I love this. I find people who acknowledge their limited knowledge about something to be the most knowledgeable out of everyone!

Hats off to a doctor that says she does not know it all and didn't learn everything in school

Absolutely
Speaking in a way laymen can understand does not mean someone is particularly intelligent. Common misunderstanding
@@donsimons9810 no, you’re wrong. It does show high emotional intelligence, as well as technical intelligence.

And she actually wants them to understand what she has discovered. That’s why she’s not arrogant, & dismissive.

Yes, excellent interviewer.
She hits the nail on the head when she says people are blamed for their sleep problems. No doctor has ever approached my problem from this angle, not even sleep specialists. In fact, I had a Vitamin D level of 17 and they didn't even bother to tell me. A new functional medicine doctor mentioned it a year later. I've been challenged on how much coffee I drink when I drink NONE. I've been brought to task for staying in bed when I cannot sleep. If I got up to do things I would NEVER sleep. Of course people break sleep hygiene rules when they haven't worked. Now that I've started keto and supplements for my adrenals (including Vitamin D) I'm beginning to see some improvements in sleep. I've waited 12 years for this information and much of that was spent in futility in doctors offices. Mike, thank you for all of the information you're bringing to people.
It was similar for me Laurie. I used fairly strong prescription sleeping pills to sleep for many years and my Vitamin D level in early 2016 was 10.5. It's now close to 70 and after 1.5 years of eating a whole foods based ketogenic diet I now sleep perfectly every night. I haven't even so much as taken aspirin since starting keto let alone any prescriptions. Congrats -- sounds like you're well on the way to some amazing personal changes.
Laurie Oakley a
Laurie Oakley did you take any other vit along with Vit D?
Which supplements do you take for your adrenals?
Yes, ashwagandha and melatonin along with a multivitamin, omega 3's and a few others. Also doing keto.

In the UK doctors rarely look at deficiencies, and seem to treat the symptoms only. It is about time doctors took a holistic approach, encouraging good health using nutrient and lifestyle changes, instead of temporary drug fixes for symptoms. Thankyou for this info on what we can do for ourselves!
Pharmaceutical companies would go broke if doctors stop prescribing drugs. Gates is the richest man in the world he didn’t get that way by not selling drugs.
Same in US
I agree 👍 unless you are medically deficient they are not trained to think about it. They get an hour long lecture on nutrition in med school so unless you find a Dr with an interest in nutrition they look at you like you've got two heads if you ask about nutritional deficiencies 😂
Gates is a drug dealer. Awesome point.@@teresag1584

Wow amazing! Such a knowledgeable doctor. As a nurse I feel guilty that we treat patients with just medication instead of dealing with the root. Great video thank you for freely giving out this information.
You have a choice to change that. Have you began to make the change, inform your patients & given them the choice to change; rather than you just treating them with medications!?
Have you informed your patients of glyphosate in wheat most likely being detrimental to their health:)? And the dangers of sweeteners & dextrose on items, etc?

@@makaismith2071 obviously this is breaking news. It hasn’t been taught yet in their college courses. Doctors and Nurses treat patients after they have become sick, injured, debilitated.
@@makaismith2071 im a nurse and i have a chronic disease so have moved on from acute care. I now teach but beat to the same drum: you follow policy of employer and strive for best practices as much as possible. Unfortunately many professionals will reprimand people going against the grain, even when it is evidence based. This is someones livelihood and discretion must be taken. To do that in situations not calling for it could mean their job and livelihood. Im not saying its right but its not as easy as just pouring your heart about it. As a nurse you cannot take advantage of someones trust, discuss personal things and you must follow policy..so going against will bring a hammer down. I take discretion for my license first when in my personal time only.. What I say is for education purposes only and always work with your primary care practitioner for all dietary changes. I will not help someone change their diet until they understand what's happening in their body and the doctor is taking charge of meds. It would be highly irresponsible to not be thorough or be able to follow up appropriately. Those are my nurse pennies. 🖖🙏
Get yourself a career in Functional Medicine, / molecular nutrition. 😊
I am Black. She's right about most black folks have Vitamin D deficiency. I REALLY respect her for saying that people of color (especially the children) NEED VITAMIN D supplementation. Darker skin needs even MORE sunlight then lighter skin to make Vt D since it evolved in high sunlight environments. Great video.
I wish all those protestors would protest the fact doctors aren't telling their black patients to take vitamin D. If you study all the statistics, you will see millions die worldwide of vitamin D deficiency related diseases every year.
But doctors are taught to manage those diseases with expensive patented drugs, instead of curing them with what the body needs!
So glad you know.
a lot of natural promoting doctors feel that most of the the higher levels of cancers in African Americans is because of lower vitamin D levels.
Darylne... I am white, of Irish descent, and had a severe vitamin D deficiency. Sorry to say, doctors don’t tell any of us about vitamin D deficiency. It is only this last year or two that the mainstream medical establishment in the US is finally starting to come clean about the fact that most human beings of any color are deficient ( and in magnesium and B vites as well). You see, if we all stay healthy, drug companies lose money. And drug companies absolutely hate that a simple non-pharmaceutical can take a huge bite out of their profits.
Yes, doctors absolutely need to tell black and brown folks about vitamin D. They need to tell everyone. I have been telling my black husband of 20 years that he is deficient and he would not believe me until he finally went to the doctor and was told he was nearly depleted. He thought he was completely healthy since he’s athletic and in great shape for his age. He doesn’t drink, smoke or engage in any risky behavior. He watches me take my daily 20,000 IUs of vitamin D3 $ K2 And was too arrogant to consider that he was also deficient. He now tells all of his black friends to get checked out.
@@sethpawlik ... it’s the same for every single community in every part of the world. Every person who has died of any type of cancer was severely deficient in vitamin D. It’s well documented, yet American cancer societies refuse to make that knowledge front and center. Front and center, though, is their constant request for donations to keep their organizations running. Imagine if every single person corrected their vitamin D deficiencies. Within a single decade or generation, deaths from cancer drastically drop to very few.
@@davidroberts3262 ... you’re correct in what you say about the doctors, but what do protesters have to do with it? And which protesters are you referring to?
Wouldn’t it be more helpful to suggest that doctors protest for our health rather than keeping pharmaceutical companies in business?

Children need 10-12 hours of sleep for proper development. Unfortunately it's inconvenient for parents to make their children go to bed.
They do. Children I work with have rubbish diets. I’m surprised they’re still alive! Junk replaces fruit and veg . Reconstituted meats and no real nutritional there. Children brain washed by advertising. Addicted to the preservatives and addictive.
The parents fault . The government’s fault . The parents are also addicted to fast food and junk food .
Schools teach healthy eating but the information is way outdated .
Treats are often foods that damage us . The focus needs to be changing the usage of treat , the word . The actual meaning . Good that damages humans is poison not a treat .
Thinking and actions need changes . We can cure ourselves but culture and trends will kill us . Take care I’m on your side ❤

As a retired nurse, 67 years old, healthy weight (finally), no metabolic disorders, walking outdoors 60-90 minutes a day, 7 days a week, sleeping 9 hours each night, low carb diet, this answers many of my questions about why I look and feel so much better than many of my age cohorts. I do take vitamin D, B100 and B12. As the neurologist was talking, I was thinking of so many young people I know who do suffer fro chronic sleep disorders, irritability, ADHD, obesity and other health issues.

Excellent!! So I'm a licensed sleep technologist, in sleep medicine for 20 years, and I've always had the understanding that we are paralyzed in REM so as not to act out our dreams. I just heard a totally different take on that today. Also, I have been deeply inspired by this video. I just finished my Master's degree in clinical nutrition with a very functional and integrative approach and very much interested in microbiome research. Thank you for helping me to see for the first time a connection between the microbiome and sleep and how I might pursue this further as a career. Awesome presentation!
Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing!
You mean I did not really go to that planet and laser a furry monster from Lost in Space?
A truly gifted scientist , so clearly communicated with Mike ( I think because she felt Mike was really understanding and hearing her with awe and appreciating the information she shared and the connections her mind had made with out having to to say he understood. Amazing communicator of her findings, and so relieved to share them with Mike because he let her know silently, he understood the science enough to value her and even reinforce many of her small hypothesis that built up to key or most ground breaking final hypothesis. Excellent talk with a great interviewer. Thank you both so much.
"It's not about how much you eat, as what you eat", and of course the quality of food. Vitamin D, is essential. Thank you both, a good teacher explains clearly.
Maybe I should contact you about my issues !
Thank you for letting Dr Gominak speak without interrupting her. It was a fascinating and helpful interview. A+
Hear, hear👏👏
Had this interview done by Mark Hyman, he would have interrupted this interview at least twenty times. Kudos to Mike for letting her talk.🙂
Ego vs. no ego
Or Tom Bailey...!!😩
TomBilyeu is by far the worst. Can’t keep his big mouth shut.
Mark Hymen just gets excited, because he knows the same stuff and rare to meet others who do. MH has done more for functional medicine than most.
I suffered low energy for more than 5 years and had no idea that I was deficient in Vitamin D. Several tests were conducted and everything showed I was in perfect health, yet I couldn't stop feeling tired with extremely low energy. It was through a "miracle" that a lab tested for my vitamin D and realised it was significantly low. In fact, they were surprised I was even functioning at all. I have never joked with my Vitamin D after that day. I read more about it and realised people with darker skin need to spend more time in the sun for their bodies to metabolise vitamin D. If you live in cold weather or do not get enough sunlight, please get yourself a good Vit D supplement. Please remember, it is important to check with your doctor before taking any medication. Knowledge is power.
How lucky you are to have interviewed such a rare and amazing person..all women in this day and age should aspire to be more like her. Hats off..
Sadly too many women want power to make them feel worthy. Everything is messed up.
This video is phenomenal. I saved it years ago when I was making a vitamin d playlist and was impressed but a few years later I’m watching it again and combining this information with other experts in the field and it’s mind boggling how much you can learn to improve your life
This is the best interview that I've ever seen. As a registered nurse, autoimmune sufferer, mother of a 26 year old with severe sleep issues and a mother of a 22 year old with narrow palate, EVERYTHING she said was powerful. Please bring her back again and again. She speaks so well. I could have listened to her for several hours. Interestingly...I and my children grew up in the country, playing outside with no sunscreen. I think that there is a genetic component that she is missing.
Anita Simpson being outside usually isn’t enough
Meg M - so what's your suggestions?
Look into acquiring vit D from the sun in high latitudes and you'll find it can be a real challenge
Have you checked out Tyler Tolmn on health he uses these main principles to cure health issues with pls look into it for your family, it saved ours
It's emotional trauma she and you miss
My partner always was complaining about lack of sleep, but since Covid started we have been taking Vitamin D, C and Zinc. She's been sleeping like a baby for months now, not only that but her bowels are more regular, and she isn't sick every week like she use to be.
Less stress could also be a factor. Stress will affect all three...
@@moder_nord2475 yeah but I'm the one with the stress not her. 🤣🤣🤣
If she added a multi B it may even be better.
Great video! Vitamin D is vital for great health and gut bacteria. More doctors need to be made aware.
KenDBerryMD it help me get rid of bacteria vaginitis
Sources to back that up?
I am vitamin D deficient as per a lab test. I’ve been prescribed a vitamin D/ calcium supplement. I read the vitamin D supplement is actually a hormone which concerns me. Can I receive enough vitamin D via the sun as a natural alternative vs a supplement?
Love you Dr you changed my life for the better ❤️
@@audreyj5002 Yes. Sunshine is preferable. Just depends where you live and the color of your skin. Just don’t get burnt.
This is just a wonderful interview. I love Dr Gominak's humility regarding things she has tried that didn't go so well, and how her journey has been one of trial and error. This is incredibly important information for our times. Thankyou.
Absolutely fascinating! This doctor is so articulate, knowledgeable, empathetic and humble... This hour flew like a couple minutes!
Also, thank you so much for saying that sleep disorder is not "your fault"...that comment makes me almost cry....
What a amazing woman. The ability to think outside the square and a pioneer with ground breaking work. What a legion. Up most respect for you.
She's amazing, thank you!
This doctor is just amazing.. not driven by meds but finding the root cause of an issue.. this is a real doctor!
This has been one of the most helpful episodes yet. At least for me. I have had horrible sleep issues for many years, body pain, weight gain, depression, and horrid migraine headaches for much of my life. A couple years ago I started having heart rhythm issues as well. I very much felt as if my body was against me and that I was going to age at an accelerated rate. I started with melatonin which gave small results for the sleep portion but enough for me to continue. I knew that low vitamin D was an issue for me from blood tests. So that came next. I take 5000iu daily. My mood elevated slightly and at least the fog was gone. Next was magnesium I started taking it nightly and my sleep and headache pain improved even more. My heart rhythm is starting to even out! There’s light at the end of that tunnel. I do get the burning and prickly feelings in my hands and feet. So next is B vitamins. I will continue with this. This talk is divine in nature. At least for me. It was as if the clouds parted. This is me on so many levels. I believe I will find that balance now. Thank you so very much!
You show that the body does really want to heal , giving encouragement to others.
Thank you for your story! So sorry about your issues. You need to take Magnesium and also Valeriana root together, an one hour before bed. It will calm down your stress harmonious and you will have good, deep healthy rest. And meditation is a big help 🙏 as well! Good luck!
We spend too much time indoors. I remember how I happily run out from my house to the street to play with children. And even by myself I enjoyed being outside. When we got older we forget this or don't have time for this.
Yhimncr
Just another way that big tech is slowly killing us--keeping us all indoors with everything in life attached to a cord in the wall. :(
Technology.. made us weak
If I had to stay in like 1 night in a year it was torture, now children never go out
Well, I think back to the days when I felt best. Daily outside work in the sun. A good tired at the end of the day. And great sleep.
I am 56 years old and I have been eating one meal a day since I was 19 years old before any of this was known, I had read that Buddhist monks eat one meal a day, that's what gave me the idea
how do you that?
@@exolglecy1719 it's quite easy if you just skip breakfast and lunch you don't really feel that hungry until evening
@@exolglecy1719if u r not addicted to carbs, it’s easy. Just pack that meal with proper fiber, fats, and some protein. U will absolutely love it. I do eat something sweet at d end, like a half a cup of sweet potato or some sweet raw cashews. D thing is it doesn’t taste sweet to u unless u r not addicted to carbs. U must first work of ur pallet. U can do it simultaneously; over time u start tasting things u never knew existed. Everything tastes so much sweeter on its own 😂😂
Dr Gominak is just incredible! Not just a brilliant intellect but knowledgeable across such a wide range of topics. She is a true thinker bringing together so many (seemingly) disparate theories and able to distill the salient points for her audience. Also lovely to see someone so clearly at the top of her field and yet so modest, natural and down to earth. She really should be advising governments and public health organisations as strategy in many areas is poorly informed.
This is my all time favourite video on TH-cam and greatly appreciative of Mike for introducing us to the brilliant Dr Gominak.
Mine too
And I almost never found it.
Care to see what's trending on youtube though? Me neither.

Mike shows so much humility. This dr is awesome. I’m in deep gratitude for taking away so much from this video. 🙏✨✨👏

Wow!! She is AMAZING! I am so impressed and grateful for her desire & effort to be HONEST and open minded to aspects of our deeply intricate bodies and the way it functions. God/ source created a healing machine that is difficult to understand unless you are really paying attn to its behavior. So many chemicals that process like magic. Thank you so much for really working toward honest understanding of the body in health and sickness.
Isn't this lady elegant! The hair 😯, the jacket, the high quality t-shirt. The red spectacles.Truly stylish. And so very informative, of course.
Thank you for thinking. I am so sick of being around lazy medical doctors who aren't curious. Dr Y
I'm sorry that's happened to you. Doctors have also told me many mean things but didnt do the research, proper testing, or give me tools to help change me

Nice that the interviewer lets the interviewee talk
Saved this video in my playlist, goldmine of information, doctors nowadays are clueless to most of this, meanwhile people are dying from lack of proper nutrition and are being prescribed painkillers and antibiotics
This doctor makes so much sense and I was glued to everything she said. I’ve had major sleep issues which led to severe physical symptoms. My doctors had no clue why I was so ill and made the suggestion that it was all in my head. I went from being completely normal to not being able to sleep. Sometimes as long as six days and then I would sleep maybe four hours. It was a living hell. My gut was so messed up and I went from 202lbs to 136lbs and looked like a cancer patient. I had to have a feeding tube placed and was on tube feed for nine months. I still struggle with vitamin D and B12 deficiencies but knowledge is power and I’m starting to improve.
❤❤
Why cant you eat? Is it due to reflux and stomach issues?
Are you taking oral supplements now? Anxiety?
So sorry you are going thru this❤
My goodenss, I am exactly the same, I went from completely normal to not being able sleep at all and I fear I have fatal insomnia. I only sleep by getting knocked out at night with so many sedatives and sleeping pils. It's like the function of sleep has been lifted from my brain. It is hell as you say. My docor wants to take away my main sleeping pill and if he does I will not sleep. Can you tell me what you have done?
The only way I I could could be able is to go go get it from the bank bank or 1:24:18

Yes! It’s the hair and the glasses!
Yes she does. I couldn't think of who it was she looked like ✌🏻❤

Oz is a quack.
Dr. OZ big pharm paid and owned!
This is priceless. I don't have words for the amount of wisdom. Mind blowing "connecting the dots" Amazing relationship between "Brain - Gut - Vit D - Bit B - Rem Sleep" Mind = Blown!

Me too! I’m going to try to do her sleep right program with my mom, sister, and husband. I wish you well🤍
Can't get enough of this interview! What a Doctor and what a host!
Mind blowing ! One of the most important videos I have ever seen. She is incredibly knowledgeable and fearless at the same time, accepting that there were times when she did not know or didn't get the right results. Thank you for not interrupting her flow. Thank you for sharing this incredibly useful knowledge.
Wow!!!!!!! This is the EXACT video I needed to see at this point in my life!!!! Do you know how many problems this video solved for me?? God Bless this lady.....
Have your problems been solved 2 months on? I'd love to hear dietary advice i.e. mmore specific that keto.
Cookie Cutter I have more enamel on my teeth now. I now discovered it was the vegan diet that made me lose tooth enamel. My sunken eyes from the vegan diet are also now reversed. I also go outside more now, and I am not afraid of full fat dairy or other animal products anymore. It was a combination of lack of sun and a lack of animal fats in my diet in my particular case. I should watch this video again it has been a long time .
Sabrina hi, i went vegan for 4 months to clean up my liver & i wonder up with Panic Attacks, dry, old looking skin & terrible insomnia. switching to plant based omega 3s was a particularly bad idea because my body couldn’t convert it . that caused the panic attacks. once i went back to normal diet & added a good fish based omega 3, i got better. I’m doing low carb now with intermittent fasting & that seems to really agree with me.
Hey @Sabrina how's everything going on with your life now? I am more interested in the sleep patterns and how your mind is feeling. Any advice or knowledge is much appreciated.
samsky verareddy since I started eating animal products again (I was vegan for 7 years) my mental health has improved. I was mentally and physically declining as a long term vegan. I can’t remember what she said in this video but i probably need to watch it again
This Doctor needs a huge main stream platform from which to announce her hypothesis - but if she's prevented - we can probably guess why. An achievement award (and peer recognition) is not unreasonable to expect.
I had a dream, which told me "Sleep is the secret!". I've been working on sleeping more deeply. I'm healing.
This video has been posted for less than one month and it's already in the top 7 for HIH site views, and well on it's way to #2 (not sure it takes out Dr. Fung's interview with how wildly popular he has become). Mike - that's a clear indication of the interest we all have for you to bring Dr. Gominak back as soon as you can - again, probably my favorite interview so far and I've seen every one on your site. Congrats!
Todd Studer ii
agreed
Definitely
Great information
This video randomly appeared on my watch recommendation list. Thank you for this. What a fascinating, informative interview. He is the best interviewer I’ve seen in ages..... Knowledgeable respectful and professional. And the Dr’s commitment, dedication and persistence to her scientific research is admirable. I particularly valued her honesty in what she acknowledged as her personal observation versus actual proven facts. A breathe of fresh air.
I’ve ordered my Bees and D3 already!!!
Ok so my grandmother told me this years ago. Most things we can heal from sleep and rest
The old saying was kids under like 14 needed 12 hours sleep a night ,
@@donnaharris8097 Really! My kids would never manage that. My 13 year old gets about 9 hours and my 10 year old about 8 hours.
@@Arwen_Evenstars Not nearly enough.
Well even if you’re going to bed at the right time you might not sleep because you might need vitamin D supplementation because kids don’t go outside anymore. Do not that simple.
@43:33-such great info for childhood bed welters. I5 is not (as commonly thought) that bed welters are sleeping so deeply they do not get the signal to wake to eliminate, but they are not sleeping deeply enough to make the anti-diuretic hormone.
A doctor who actually cares about researching and helping. Lots to think about--especially the deuterium-free water bit. Refreshing! Thank you for the show and the notes!
Wow, I also have vit D and B12 deficiency and started getting allergies and becoming more sick frequently...thank you for this!
Try ReMag by Dr Carolyn Dean. It’s crazy how it’s reversed my ME-CFS . No more sleeping for 4 days and it99.99% ,that gets right into the cell. Iodine too ok Dr Edward Group @ Moringa.
I had bad allergies a couple of years ago, I started to treat my gut with gut friendly foods like sauerkraut. It help tremendously. If you ever had antibiotics you need to address your gut ASAP.
Me too so bad in the hospital with pneumonia for 5 days...till I listened to a naturopath about D3 and k2 ...I’m 💯
Please watch Forks Over Knives @ The Bleeding Edge.
D3@ K2 are excellent. No gallbladder,use OXBILE salts.
Iodine, Vitamin B 12 . ReMag Magnesium Chloride,is liquid Magnesium,going 99.99% into the cell.
Moringa is excellent too , omg Watch Dr Edward Group on all the above vitamins and Moringa as well. My immune system is so much better.
Feeling better?
THIS IS SO TRUE!!!! My niece has been diagnosed (at age 10) with autism and her diet is horrible...filled with sugar and junk, not nutritious food. My sister-in-law is now over-medicating her but still feeding her junk. She's regressing, but if I told her it was related to nutritional deficiencies, she'd either ignore me or treat me with contempt. Very sad.
sadly people are brainwahsed by the men in white and feeding white dead (sugar, flour, milk) to their children...
dharma 3 watch the magic pill on Netflix
@@supplement-your-lifecom slow white death
I have a child with autism also and I see first hand how nutrition affects her behavior and if she has pains or not, her ability to focus, if she has stims or not, the amount of meltdowns she has or not, her ability to retain information. Of course they're going to want the sugary foods, it's their gut convincing them that they need those foods in their system, but balancing it out with nutritious foods is the key or finding more nutritious substitutes for the junky food they like. I will typically make my child a smoothie to increase her intake of nutrients. I do a beet, Apple, Ginger, smoothie that I find helps to calm her gut. I juice celery and let her drink celery water along with other stuff, as well as give her a organic multivitamin and a fat source such as olive oil, grapeseed oil, fish oil. Because of their pickiness and the way their body processes things children with autism are frequently deficient in vitamins, minerals etc. If her schedule allows her to it may help your sister in law if she lets her child help her prepare something. I find that when my daughters in the kitchen with me helping me she's more likely to want to taste what she helped make. I let her taste the ingredients separately if she prefers, smell, touch and label whatever ingredients we're using with a name, it not only fulfills those who have sensory issues but also helps them to feel like they have some control of something. It's hard getting them off the crunchy, sugary foods train. For instance as a sweet or candy I'll give my daughter honey sticks or dark chocolate, that way she can satiate her sweet tooth but also get some benefits nutritionally. Sometimes I will hide nutritious foods in other foods. If I'm making spaghetti and meat sauce with a gluten free pasta I'll also steam some pumpkin and puree it and mix it in with the meat sauce. Even making popsicles out of whole fruit/ vegetable juices, that I blend in a NutriBullet. Or pancakes out of bananas or with carrots in it. Or cupcakes with carrots or made out of zucchini. My daughter was very picky and still is. In her earlier years she only wanted to drink almond milk for a very long time. Because of sensory issues some kids with autism don't like how certain foods feel in their mouth or going down their throat. Something that I started using was teething tools, such as a chew stick or achieving tubes or even baby size toothbrushes, the regular ones and the ones that you put on your finger, I rub them inside of her mouth along the sides and along her gums and teeth to desensitize inside her mouth to different textures also using a reward system when she takes a bite to address to behavior aspect of not wanting to eat certain foods. Now she's eating fish, platanos, quinoa and variety of other healthy foods, she doesn't always want to but I do make sure to sit with her as she's eating those non-preferred foods. She still wants to reach for the sugary snacks and foods, I don't completely deprived her but I do try to make her main meals as nutritious as possible and give her SuperFood nutritious smoothies throughout the day. I've been there so I truly sympathize with your sister in law I know it's a tough thing to go through, but just keep on encouraging her and helping her.
People don't want the truth if it's too difficult. They will refuse to believe.
