Weight gain, food addiction, leaky gut and metabolic syndrome

Weight gain

I made a series of videos about food addiction, weight gain, leaky gut and the Metabolic Syndrome.
How it is affecting all of us that eat the standard American diet.

Metabolic Syndrome

Just in case you don't know what the metabolic syndrome is, it's simply a term that covers all the diseases that our diet has created.

You don't need to have all of the diseases,  just one  would mean you have Metabolic Syndrome.  The most common  is Obesity and a Leaky Gut.

High Blood Pressure

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure January 2013. It was 175/88. I was deep into sugar addiction at the time. Also drinking wine a few days a week. I had the bp checked by the Dr. on a day after I had wine the night before. 
Blood Pressure Sept. 2014
Wine lowers the blood pressure while drinking it, raises it the next day.
I was given a beta blocker, it didn't help, I was told to take two.
I stopped all supplements just in case they interfeared with the medication.
I continued to eat sugar and enjoy wine.
I continued to get sicker.
July 2013 I had it, I was continuing to gain weight and getting sicker.
I stopped the bp medication, did it slowly.
I check the bp often, it seemed OK
My bp is now 102/64.
I can now try healing the rest of me.

Leaky Gut

It was obvious I had a leaky gut and may have had it for years. I remember how uncomfortable some foods made me as far back as my 20's.
The issues get progressivly worse over time.
I developed Gerd.
I had a Spastic Esophagus, burnt Esophagus,  and heart burn. It was pretty painful.
I started taking supplements, Digestive Enzymes, Probiotics and HCL with Pepsin. I started to mend.
Even if you don't think you have digestive issues it is still wise to take a probiotic, specially at bed time. 
I take a probiotic with every meal, in between if I get the painful burps,  and at bedtime. 
I also take lots of Vitamin B complex, Magnesium, Ataxathin, Vitamin D3. This leaky gut causes malabsorption of vitamins so I take lots of them.
Nutritional deficiencies in leaky gut,  vitamin A, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D3. 
I am on the mend.
