Lyme Encephalopathy here, in every lobe and thalamus. Happy to have information that will support what we're learning may be cell repair that wasn't known thirty-some years ago when I contracted Lyme! 💜

When Aspartame first came out, my heart started pounding so hard, you could see my pulse in the vessels on my wrist! My doctor Dad recognized an allergic reaction and said I'd better not drink it. Saved from one of the many additives we have to label read for 💜

I had a total brainIapse episode one early afternoon (20+ yrs ago) when I went to a Target store. I regularly drank diet Coke & a lot of yogurt w/ it. I had been shopping and suddenly got scared bc I lost all track of time & didn't know how long I was there, or where I parked or how to get home (I lived a few miles away). Thankfully my mom mentioned aspart being a problem and I was able to put it together that I had to stop using it.

We visit America a lot from the UK and we are shocked at some of the foods and ingredients and chemicals that are allowed there. Even the supermarkets are a bit strange. We shop in Wholefoods Market as this is the standard of our supermarkets here. Although we do get junk here too of course but not as much. Even things like blue m&m’s for example are a different blue because they use different ingredients.

Dear Dr Mindy. Thank you you so much for all the effort you put in this channel and your mission. I would please ask you for a video with information about oils. I am so confused. !!!

Thanks a lot in advance.

I‘m morbidly obese and tried all calorie restrictive diet and nothing helped me to lose weight, even if i was in a large calorie deficit and moved my 6-10k steps per day. Than i discovered Dr.Pelz and Dr.Fung who teach me about fasting and cut out the carbs completely and now, oh wonder i‘ve lost already 20 lbs in just one month with OMAD . Even my 2 week travel through Italy did not ruin my weight loss. I ate carbs almost daily without fasting and did not gain any weight! Now i‘m back on track with the OMAD -fasting and lose weight without feeling tired,sick or even hungry. I feel that i have control again about my eating habits and can trust my body that everything is fine now without going crazy about all the food noises i had in that time i was counting calories. Even if i only fasted during a couple of weeks, my body fixed my low metabolic system in that short time. It‘s worth it to keep on going this new lifestyle. If you want to loose weight and be healed from all the side effects from a overweight body and mind, i can tell you that (intermitted) fasting is key!

Just a quick heads up everyone farm raised salmon is deeper in colour than wild caught because they add dye to make it look better because of the poor way they were raised. And it's not natural colouring

[@lacysmith2778]

I saw this on the packing at costco on some salmon. I was like yea I'm not getting this.

[@dorisschneider-coutandin9965]

Not in Europe. Our farmed salmon is always lighter in colour than wild catch. It's not allowed to add anything, in particular not when you go for organic fish farming.

[@DrMindyPelz]

[@tigerspiritjourney]

@@dorisschneider-coutandin9965 Organic fish farming for salmon is VERY rare, and I have never seen it available for sale in here in Sweden. Many of us here NEVER eat fish-farmed salmon from Norway etc. Very toxic.

This is so true about artificial colourings and preservatives in food which sadly most candies and snacks have affect child’s brain. My 9 year old suddenly was struggling with attention, focus and emotional rolacoasters last year. I found out his actually wonderful teachers with no intention or understanding how their consistent candy rewards would affect child’s behavior’s were giving them to children, plus processed school lunch. First we experimented at home when we would give or take out those foods and treats out of his diet and it would radically changed his behaviour, focus and my kid is completely different kid when he doesn’t eat those candies or school lunches .

I just found your channel and I’m love😍 Yes this information is helpful. I have never ate fish, so lucky for me, BUT I was a diet coke addict for 30+ years. Back in the 80’s I would tell everyone that diet coke was making me fat and messing with my brain. I didn’t know why but i believed it to be true. Everyone thought i was silly or crazy (even doctors) And yes i was diagnosed with ADHD! 15 years ago, I got really sick and couldn’t drink soda. When I got well, I knew this was the time to stop, and I never looked back. Thank goodness. Best thing I ever did for myself.

I used to have a swordfish steak about once every other year, but have stopped completely, just not worth it. I avoid all fake sugars as most of them tie my stomach in knots and I don't like their taste anyway. I rarely eat the super colored candies and frostings, but I bet fake colorings are hanging out in things where I'm not aware - will start checking labels more closely for those.

Always take your medications as prescribed, and check with your pharmacist. Some people can take their Rx medications with a bit of fat, or some wilted greens and fat.

I recently discovered that maxalt (a triptan med i use for migraine) has aspertane in it. Thankfully i only need one small subliqual tablet per migraine, but i will ask my doctor if there are alternatives. This medication has actually been a life changer for me (im not having to take sick leave each month) so its quite a disappointing find. Im am hoping that all the healthy living and fasting will ultimately eliminate migraines, but until then i need something.

[@sarahbelle_]

A have a little question! For one month, I have been doing a weekly 24 hour water fast. Felt amazing. I lost 3kg (went from 61 to 58). Actually, the last fast wasn't 24 hours: I did 40 hours instead for the first time. I ended it at day 12 of my cycle. For the following days (ovulation), I unfortunately ate refined sugar daily. I had almost completely removed them for the previous month. And now, only 4 days after breaking my fast, I gained 1.3 kg! I didn't change my water intake, nor the way I exercise. How is it possible to lose 3kg in one month (after each fast, I gained back around 0.3kg but lost more after each fast so the loss/gain dynamics was slow but steady), and gain back almost the half in such a short time? I also measured my waist and hips, nothing has moved
