Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

I recently did a video on a very amazing gene, the NRF2, which is like a gene that protects

you against disease and especially cancer, and I found some additional interesting data

on this that I want to share with you, but if you haven't seen the first video, watch

that first.

I'm going to put a link down below at exactly what it does.

But this gene is like the master gene that activates hundreds of other genes that protect

yourself.

And these other genes are related to antioxidants because your body has networks of antioxidants.

So antioxidants don't just come from external sources from your food.

Your body makes them so they come from within, and the term for that is endogenous.

So this gene regulates endogenous antioxidants as well as the detoxification genes, which

helps break down things that cause cancer, like chemicals in the environment.

We call those carcinogens.

So this gene protects against trauma, emotional stress, pollution, toxins, UV radiation,

and also the free radical damage that comes from having nutritional deficiency.

So it's a very, very important gene.

In the other video I talked about, people having an overexpression of this gene, and these

are the type of people that pretty much can eat what they want, smoke every day, drink,

and live to be 99 years old, right?

Yet everyone else has a normal expression of this gene, which makes them prone to develop
