 All right, we are back after a few months for another Health and Nutrition Q&A. If you guys didn't get the chance to ask your question, please keep an eye on the Community tab page where I'll make a post about once a month and you can reply to that. If you do want one-on-one health advice, you guys can go to frank-defonno.com if you would like this schedule a consultation. Then you provide a few tips on ideal macronutrient ratios and sample meal plan for weight loss. So I've made videos, I think, titled The Order of Satiety and some other stuff where you basically want to eat macronutrients to appetite. But if you guys have been watching my Day of Eatings for the past few months, I think, year to now, it's basically very lean meat, organic starch, carbohydrates, and a very small amount of fat. If you reduce the radiation in your environment, if you go out, if you get fresh air, then your body composition will become ideal over time. Don't focus too much on the scale, just focus on feeling good and being healthy. Could you also check in with us on your health progress so far and liver damage? We'd like to know how you're doing and how the diet has been working for you and what changes you've experienced on it. So I've said in the past few weeks in certain health videos that it takes time to fix problems that were caused over basically your whole life. So it's probably going to take a few more years of me being very strict with my diet and trying to fix my health, but I do feel a lot better since quitting carnivore and I figured out a lot of things over the course of that period of time. Hopefully we get a book going, but I don't know, I don't really have the energy or the mental capacity to run on myself. Should I be concerned about my water kefir if it always gets me buzzed? Could that alcohol content make it a net negative if fermented for too long? Also could we get an updated acne video maybe for a whiteboard Wednesday? Thanks Reiki. I'm going to listen to your body. If you're getting headaches, then the alcohol is a problem, but I almost always feel good when I drink it. And people are very one-dimensional, especially these doctors and nutritionists. They just look at alcohol, you know, oh, it has alcohol, it has alcohol, well, the probiotic bacteria strains and kefir grains and water kefir help digest alcohol. So despite drinking insane amounts of water kefir, which is alcoholic every day, I always feel good. I never get a headache and I'm going to get my liver enzymes checked to see if that holds true. And regarding the acne, it's actually the first time I've been breaking out in a few months now, and it was because I've been eating at the warehouse where I'm not eating the grains and stuff. So my basic synopsis of the acne video is, you know what, I'll say that I will do that in a week or two because I did take some notes and I do want to give you guys an update. Are you going to add more best bar style foods on Frankie's free range foods? So if you guys have been watching the weekly vlogs, we are launching the Apple Macadamia Banana bars this week. I mean, they're so dense that I could barely finish half of them, but it's a great survival food. It's high quality organic ingredients, nothing else like it. So keep an eye out on Frankie's free range foods either tomorrow or Friday and we will have them launched. Are sardines better than grain fed beef? Also have access to oysters, but can afford them once a week? Have you tried on corn pasta? So I really only recommend consuming very lean grass fed beef, sometimes chicken and pork if it's high quality enough. I've done several videos explaining why seafood is toxic, iron corn pasta, durum wheat, croissant. There's a lot of anti nutrients in certain strains of wheat and compare how you respond to eating those types of pasta to something like plain white potatoes or plain white rice and you can gauge that reaction to determine whether or not you should be eating those strains of wheat. Carbohydrates, fiber and phytonutrients, what role do they play in health? I mean, that's such a long and complicated question, but carbohydrates give your body energy, feed your gut bacteria. A lot of plant-based carbohydrates have a lot of minerals, fiber, gut motility, feeding the bacteria again, detoxing the liver. I mean, carbohydrates do that too. Phytonutrients, I mean, those are very, very specific and nuanced, but for the most part, our body does not need them and they just cause additional liver stress. Would you ever sell raw unsalted butter and will you ever live stream? Love the content. So as most of you guys know, I've been wanting to start a farm for a while now just monetarily and business-wise. At this point, I don't know if I'm ever going to do it. Livestreams, we used to do them a while ago and I was looking, it's actually been two years since we quit live streaming on this channel, so a bit depressing, but you know, with the censorship and the shadow bands from YouTube, I eventually had to give it up because I couldn't stick to the schedule. Thoughts on hair loss and modern-day medicines to use such as Finasteride and Minoxidil, you should do videos on hair loss as it's growing on YouTube and how to prevent it, possibly maintain hair. So if you address the diet, lifestyle, radiation reduction, and you follow kind of what I've been doing for a period of a few months to a year or two and the hair loss safely stops, everything is in check, then I would say you can get a hair transplant. That is the ultimate solution. Whatever anyone else is telling you, it's a band-aid and it's not addressing the root cause. You know, it's funny, someone was complaining on the Sverage video that I was making fun of bald people with the wig, but like, come on guys, the wig was too perfect to not use it and I got a full head of hair, I get no pussy anyway, so you guys stop fucking complaining. Is there a healthy way to maintain a low body weight as a female without completely ruining my hormones? So the answer to the first question in this live stream about, you know, fixing your diet, your lifestyle, radiation reduction, balancing minerals with food and supplements, if you get everything in check, you know, you're going to detox your liver, get all the negative stuff out of your body, have the positives, and you will have a healthy, attractive body composition. Not only will you feel good, you will look good. Do you poop in a squatting position? When is the protein powder coming back? Those are two pretty contrasting questions. So I've used like a stand to squat when I go to the bathroom and if you guys aren't familiar with that, maybe I should do a video on it, just a more natural position. The protein should be back within a month, hopefully. What food do you recommend women to eat before and during a period? I typically experience a lot of sugar and salt cravings. So once you understand diet, nutrition, you've addressed all of your lifestyle factors, you'll be able to see what you should and shouldn't be eating. This is why I offer consultations, you know, because questions like this, it's not a simple answer. And that being said, for sugar, dark chocolate is good, as long as there's no dairy in it. And for salt, organic potato chips aren't the end of the world. Are there any natural contraceptives that are effective that couples can use? I'm assuming the copper IUD is the closest thing to natural, but I really have to look into it. I'm really not sure and well-resourced on that. I haven't tested for SIBO, but I think I might have that and or parasite. Do you think a FODMAP diet will solve it or should I fast for a few days? Would OMAD plus FODMAP be enough if I do it for a while? I really think that the parasite craze is a cover for liver damage and, you know, it makes sense if modern medicine wants to keep people sick because, you know, your liver starts having problems, you get candida overgrowth, SIBO, all of these problems and a parasite cleanse, if anything, would make your liver health worse and then you might actually end up getting parasites. Those are very rarely occurring and only happen in someone with a very compromised immune and digestive system. How do you lower your liver enzymes? If you've been told your liver enzymes are too high from blood test results. So I believe I've done a series of blood tests on my channel showing my liver enzymes were high when I was carnivore and I've lowered them by changing my diet. So donating blood can help initially to remove some iron from your body, but long term you do need to completely change the diet. Thoughts on mold toxicity and exposure? Just like the blue light blocking glasses, I think it's a cover for high levels of environmental radiation. I mean, does it happen? Yeah, but not as often as people think. What do you think about your old videos? When you're eating fermented beef organs out of a jar or having lots of dairy for breakfast? So not conducive to liver health and, you know, there's ways those foods can be incorporated into the diet in a healthy way, especially in that natural hunter-gatherer environment. But unfortunately, modern problems require modern solutions and those foods do not really have much of a place in my current diet. Will Titiyomi request you to be fully shaved for a Japanese nerve oil massage therapy session? You know, I was going to actually do a video on her soon because there was like a picture of her with Shawn Mendes in Hawaii. Kind of crazy. Maybe we'll do that this weekend. Are there any herbal teas at all that you recommend? I think I did speak about this in a past Q&A and I'm assuming my answer was, you know, if you enjoy a specific tea, it can be addressed on an individual basis. And it's really, really hard because some of them are high in anti-nutrients, some of them aren't. Some of them are okay. Some of them are bad for your liver, so that's very, very specific. What is your view on tapioca starch? I see that ingredient being used for grain substitute. So I actually wanted to sell tapioca powder, but after testing it and then doing some googling, it does have cyanide in it and I was getting pain in my liver after consuming a lot of it. So if there's a small amount as an additive in the food, that's fine. If it's a complete replacement or it's taking up a large percentage of the food, I would be worried about it. I think it's also called cassava and there's some indigenous tribes that do prepare it in a certain way to lower the cyanide content, but you don't have to eat it. It's not like a super delicious, amazing food. Would you be okay with opening a pio box so we can send you gifts or letters? I really think this would be cool. You have many subscribers who would love to send you something nice to show their appreciation of you making great, helpful, honest content that helps people with their health. So I've received a few bad letters from some not so nice people that found my business address and that type of stuff. And I think a pio box is just kind of opening a can of worms, of course. I know most of you guys are very nice and kind, but there's a few bad apples that are not good. I have grapes in my garden. Should I eat them with or without skin? I love this is a serious question because I've never tried to peel a grape before. I'm assuming that's not an easy task, but if you're going to peel the grape, you remove some anti nutrients. I would eat the grapes without the skin. I've been drinking homemade water quiver for months by now and it's been amazing, but I had to stop because it gives me severe heart palpitations. Would this stop if I make a completely new batch that's not so saturated with bacteria? I mean, it's hard to say, obviously, if you eat the same meal with and without water quiver and the water quiver meal gives you heart palpitations. Maybe you have a mineral deficiency and you can't handle it as well. Maybe you're drinking too much. Maybe you should just try the water quiver grains, but I mean, yeah, listen to your body. If you can't sleep or you're having heart palpitations, then switch something up. Have you stopped eating raw meat? And if yes, why? I mean, you know, there's a drastic difference between having two pounds of mostly raw meat versus, you know, a pound of kind of raw in the middle meat every day. So it doesn't seem like it, but yeah, for the most part, every day I do have some raw animal product in my diet, specifically lean beef. Any news on the farm? I mean, not really this older guy that I kind of made friends with that was planning on moving. Now he's saying he just wanted to sell one of his properties and maybe try to make some money on the farm. So it wouldn't make sense to use his property to have a dairy and egg operation. But you know, the poor guy is older. I mean, he's, I mean, the guy's nuts. He's still 65. He works on the farm 12 hours a day. It's just, he had a stroke and he's not 100%. So I mean, if I saw a way that I could hire people on his property and do that, I just don't have the cash flow right now. If I had, you know, the full meat processing operation and I was actually making money, I think I could overhead the farm costs. But as of right now, it's just not possible. Healthy calcium to magnesium and sodium to potassium ratios. These can get pretty out of whack. Most people really just need to supplement a lot of magnesium and reduce their calcium intake. But if you get a hair mineral analysis and then gauge how you respond to doing certain things. Maybe I'll do a video in a week or two on what food or supplement sources you should use to get certain minerals and how to tell if you need to keep going or not. Does heat destroy B vitamins easily? No, but the real issue is how denatured is the protein? How much of the anti-square beauty properties did you remove? How well is it digesting? Different people tolerate it differently depending on, I mean, basically their organ and liver function. What are your thoughts on colostrum? As an adult, I mean, you know, it's for babies. If you guys are unfamiliar with colostrum is it's like the first milk that comes out of the mother that gives the babies immune health. I really don't think an older person is going to benefit from taking it. Frank, chimp in state of nature won't masturbate. Chimp in state of captivity will masturbate. What could this mean? And I'm laughing because this idiot has posted this question on my Q&A's for like the past year. And this is just, dude, it's not true. It's like a myth. It's made up. Dude, like dogs will hump your leg. Like, there are like animals that will actually assault other animals so that they can, you know, release. You know, that's not true. Whoever, whoever this is, like, I don't know if they're messing with, it's ridiculous. Do you advise hair mineral analysis if I want to get your K2 supplement? I mean, those are two unrelated things. Most people should be getting a hair mineral analysis regardless of what supplements they're taking. Good sources of vitamin E. So I've spoken about vitamin E before and I'm really just inclined to believe that its main purpose is to prevent the fat oxidation of the food it's in. So, you know, there's no real point of taking vitamin E because your body has antioxidant processes that prevent, you know, yourself from oxidizing. But there's a possibility that I don't even want to recommend it. I got to do a little more research on that even though I already have and I didn't find anything. I ordered some iodine and magnesium and some enzymes. How do you use the iodine though? So I usually use it to like brush my teeth. I'll put a few drops on my toothbrush right now. Sometimes I'll wipe my face with it. You could use like one or two drops orally or 10 to 15 drops transdermally. How to heal low thyroid function? I have several videos on thyroid. Just search Frank to find a thyroid and you'll get an in-depth answer on that one. But I've said it before, you know, you have to address your whole diet, radiation exposure, supplement routine to truly feel better. Pineapple bromelain action for killing parasites. Again, this parasite thing is overstated dude. You do not have parasites. If I had to answer your question, it's probably not corrosive enough. And if it was, you would just get diarrhea and crap your brains out. You know, if you had like three whole pineapples blended up with super bromelain, I mean you could buy bromelain or like papain from papaya supplements and they eat through your digestive tract. They're very hard on your liver. You don't want to take that stuff. How to prevent stretch marks from muscle loss? I mean I have horrible stretch marks from bodybuilding that never really went away. I mean, you know, stop working out and tanning over the course of a few years can kind of help. But it really depends on your skin elasticity and how naturally prone you are to stretch marks. Some people get them, some people don't. Sorry, if I've missed you say this already, why don't you go away for a break in the end? Have you postponed it? Or you're just going to muddle through. So I hired someone to kind of take my place that could do things and they didn't really work out, which is unfortunate. And now I'm kind of just at my business every day. I mean, I could take a week off, you know, but at this point, like it's gotten where I'm just so exhausted and over everything, I couldn't even go somewhere and enjoy it. Like maybe two, three months ago I could have, you know, it would have been really nice to just go on vacation for a week, take a break, get some sun, but that could sound silly, but that requires effort. Like to me, even going to the beach, trying to talk to girls at a bar or club, trying to have fun to me, look, like I just feel like I can't even have fun anymore if that answers your question. If I didn't have the business, if I wasn't losing my mind every day, it'd be a different conversation, but not right now. So thank you guys for joining me. Hopefully you guys have enjoyed this video and I've answered some of your questions. As I mentioned in the beginning, you can go to frank-saffon.com if you'd like to schedule a one-on-one consultation. Other than that, you'll also see my many businesses on frank-saffon.com where there are some products that I've mentioned here that are also relevant to a lot of the stuff that we're talking about in this Q&A. Thanks again for joining me, guys, and I'll see you for tomorrow.
