| 0:25.8 | So if you have a weird taste in your mouth and you're not sure exactly where it could be coming from, |
| 0:32.5 | I want to help you identify the root cause of it. And there's quite a few reasons for this. |
| 0:40.2 | Number one, it could be oral thrush or candida, which is growing in your mouth. Now, if that's a situation, |
| 0:46.4 | which can stem from situations where you had antibiotics or you're eating a lot of sugar because candida loves sugar. So number one, you have to get off sugar and refined carbs. So this is what |
| 0:53.1 | you want to do. You want to take a liquid probiotic |
| 0:56.4 | non-dairy and put a little bit in your mouth like a little catful and squish it around your mouth |
| 1:02.2 | because those microbes will compete with the candida and they will eat up the nutrition in your |

| 1:51.4 | Women that are pregnant, they can notice like a weird taste in her mouth. That usually is a nutrient deficiency. |
| 1:58.7 | Mostly zinc. So make sure you take enough zinc. The food that has the highest |
| 2:03.9 | zinc is oysters, but you can get zinc from red meat and many other foods. All right. Number three, |
| 2:09.8 | menopause. This is the shift in estrogen and that can affect the liver. What I recommend in this |
