Greetings, Eric Bakker, naturopath coming back and I'm talking about enzymes, how to
fix or treat an enzyme deficiency in your body.
You've probably got an enzyme deficiency right now whether you like it or not.
The healthiest people I'm seeing still may well have some type of minor enzyme deficiency
and maybe you're sitting there thinking, "This guy's really losing it now.
He's just down in New Zealand.
He's just totally off the rocker."
Well, that's what you may think but if you've got a heartbeat, pulse rate, you've probably
got some stress in your life.
And I can tell you guys now, if you've got even a small amount of stress regularly it's
going to effect your pancreas and stomach's ability to maintain optimal levels of enzyme
control or power the production of these enzymes.
Utilization of the enzyme also can be effected by stress, the end targets.
So I've spoken many times in previous videos about how stress can affect your body's ability
to digest food properly, even small amounts of stress.
So imagine now living under high stress and eating crappy foods and high stress you're
cruising for a brick wall literally.
I mean, you're going to hit it sooner or later.
It's just a matter of when, right?
So how do you fix a problem like that?
Well, listen up.
If you're got bloating, gas, bowel problem, especially if you've got fatigue.
You don't necessarily have to have a lot of GI problems but think carefully of the kinds
of foods you've been eating for the last several weeks or months.
Think carefully about the kind of stresses you're living under, the kind of lifestyle,
constraints you're living under.
Think about your relationship with your partner or your kids or your in-laws or the outlaws,
as I like to call them.
Or your boss or your workers.
Think about that.
Think about the emotional kind of impacts of all these events on your digestive system.
You're probably not thinking about that at all.
You're probably thinking, "Well, if I eat this kind of food or that kind of food."
It's not just about the food.
If you wanna fix an enzyme deficiency a really good heads up for you is to try and tackle
the stress.
A one percent reduction in stress is probably gonna be about a six percent improvement in
GI function.
Everything you do to improve stress will improve digestion and that will mean that you probably
have to worry a lot less about your health long term.
So lifestyle rules.
I've said this a hundred times on this channel.
75% or recovery is lifestyle related.
25% roughly involves specialized foods, specialize supplements but it's still a very improvement
piece.
So go back and look at some of my videos on stress, on the sympathetic and parasympathetic
imbalance and how that effects the gut.
Are you guys still with me?
Are you still with me?
If you've watched the previous videos in sequence on enzymes you will understand a lot more
by the point I'm trying to make here.
Supplements are often necessary with many people these days because it's impossible
to live a stress free lifestyle, almost impossible.
So supplements are basically a great aid.
They can be take short term.
They can be taken long term.
They can be taken indefinitely for some people, especially if you're on a condition like a
cancer or a chronic disease you may need to take a pancreatic digestive enzyme for a long,
long time to really improve.
So supplementation, make sure that when you do take enzyme supplements that they are good
in terms of targeting the stomach.
It'll also contain enzymes that target the pancreas.
So a good blend of multiple enzymes will often work the best when it comes to correcting
an enzyme deficiency.
I'm gonna talk to you a bit later on about a supplement which I think works very well,
especially if you take it one on an empty stomach and one with food and I'll explain
that I mean later.
Many people take enzymes with food all the time.
Some people take enzyme supplements away from food but I believe the way to get back on
track is to take some with food and some without and I'll explain it all later.
Catch up with me in the next video.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
