Let’s talk about why you should start consuming liver. Liver is the most nutrient-dense food on earth. Many people don’t want to consume liver because they think it’s filled with toxins. But, while the liver helps you get rid of toxins, it doesn’t store toxins. Another misconception is that you will get an overload of certain nutrients if you consume liver regularly. This may happen if you consume synthetic vitamins in high amounts, but liver doesn’t contain synthetic vitamins. There is a very common genetic problem that can lead to a cascade of effects in the body, including: • A buildup of unusable iron (that can cause symptoms of both high iron and low iron) • A lack of neurotransmitters (leading to anxiety or depression) • A lack of DNA repair (can increase your risk of certain cancers) • An increased risk of colon cancer • Inflammation • Fatigue • Poor cognitive function (leading to decreased memory, focus, and concentration) • Estrogen dominance (can increase your risk of certain cancers) • Low testosterone • Less protection against autoimmune conditions • Less protection against adverse reactions that can occur after vaccines To help with this issue, you need plenty of folate and B12. But synthetic versions of these vitamins can make things worse. However, liver is the best food you can eat for this issue. It has mega amounts of folate and vitamin B12, as well as other associated nutrients you need for this condition. If you don’t like consuming liver, you can take a supplement that has high amounts of the correct forms of vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and folate. Action steps: 1. Consume more folate and B12 2. Avoid synthetic foods enriched with folate and B12 3. Minimize alcohol consumption 4. Stop taking synthetic vitamins Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

XXX Tech by SOVRYN Dr. Brian Sovryn The crossroads between technology, sensuality, and metaphysics - and the longest running anarchist podcast in the world! Brought to you by Dr. Brian Sovryn. Al-Quran In English Dr. Soha The complete Quran translation in English, Narrated by Dr. Soha. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
