Soil, Grass and Cancer:

Today, I’m going to tell you how to get thick and shiny hair naturally! Biotin is a B vitamin that many people take for thick, shiny hair. It can come from the diet, but it can also come from the gut microbiome.

The good bacteria in your gut make biotin. This is why a common side effect of antibiotics is hair problems. When you stop taking biotin, you may notice that the problem comes right back, so it’s vital to address gut health when dealing with biotin deficiency.

Liver and egg yolks are the best sources of biotin. Nutritional yeast and salmon also contain biotin. Alcohol, raw eggs, and magnesium deficiency can interfere with biotin absorption. Zinc and copper are essential for biotin absorption and function.

Retinol, the active form of vitamin A, is only found in animal foods. Liver and egg yolks are the best sources, but you can also find vitamin A in shellfish and cod liver oil. Vitamin A helps control sebum, so it’s very beneficial for thick, shiny hair!

For healthy hair, reduce your omega-6 fat intake and increase your omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for healthy hair. Fish oil and cod liver oil are excellent sources of omega-3s.

L. reuteri is a microbe missing in 96% of the population. It increases sebum, which makes hair shiny, and it may also increase hair growth.

Copper is used in many different enzymes, including the enzyme that helps prevent iron accumulation in your tissues. Iron is vital for hair growth, but we need the right balance. NPK fertilizer in our foods is a common cause of copper deficiency. If the grass is deficient in copper, the animals that eat the grass will also be deficient.

Animals with copper deficiency have very dull hair. If this can happen to sheep and cows, it can definitely happen to us!

Overconsumption of iron, often from fortified wheat products, can lock up your copper and contribute to copper deficiency. Other contributors to copper deficiency include high fructose corn syrup and high zinc intake.

If you want healthy hair, add the following foods to your diet:
•Fermented foods (i.e. kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi)
•Liver
•Egg yolks
•Cod liver oil/cod liver
•Organic foods
•Trace minerals

      During my adolescent years, I went on (the original version of) Weight Watchers. This required consuming 4-6 oz. of cooked liver each week. One of the results? People would ask me what shampoo I was using! Why? Because my waist-length hair was extremely thick and shiny. With? No split ends. Although my experience is anecdotal, it lends credence to Dr. Berg’s analysis…50 years later. These days, I consume liver in the desiccated form (grass-fed; from Argentina). Thank you, Dr. B.! ❤

    As a cosmetologist for over 20 years, I can absolutely tell you that healthy hair comes from diet or proper nutrition. I see this all the time with clients who go on these quick and fast weight loss programs. Whenever their hair starts to hit the telogen phase or natural shedding cycle, their hair falls out in handfuls. I usually advise them to start adding more healthy fats to their diet and it does help. It can take a while to reverse this, so I say keep going and be patient with the process. Thanks for the video, because I now have much more specifics on the vitamin and minerals needed.
    On another note, I started taking your magnesium supplements and man what a difference they have made! Thank you! 😊
