I took soy supplements and drank soy protein drinks daily from Herbalife for about 10 years in my 30s. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 44. I had no family history. Thank God I caught it early and I am a 6 year survivor.
No more soy. No body should eat it or drink it. No sugar. No corn. There is a book called "beating cancer with nutrition" not sure if there is an updated version but it might have some good info. Good luck. Go to well educated natural health food store. Lots of options.
OMG! I just started using herbalife products. I had no idea Soy was so bad, and it even scares me more bc I have dense breasts. After reading th DLG book and listening to Dr. Livingood was when I learned about the issues with soy. And when I saw Herbalife main ingredients was SOY I got very worried. How are they even allowed to sell? It is so popular. I thought it was good 😢
72 yo male here. I used to take combo magnesium-calcium supplements 10 years ago. Stopped the calcium after learning calcium was counterproductive. Now, I just take a multivitamin, magnesium, C, and very recently D3. Bloodwork indicated a D deficiency. Will be adding K2, after doing more research on how D3 and K2 work.
I'm glad you have mentioned this, I have come to realize this on my own through the years, too much calcium also contributed to bone spurs in me in my early 50's..I am on my third joint replacement next month.
I am glad to have seen this. I am 67 and have osteoporosis. My doctor told me that I needed 1200 mg of calcium a day but the one I found had soy in it plus calcium in all forms tends to constipate me. I found a D3 with olive oil instead of soy oil and am taking that instead of calcium. I will check out your D3 + K2 formula.

great videos! i've been pushing D3/K2 to my friends for YEARS who thought calcium supplementation was key. i am 65, healthy, but severely ferritin anemic. i will be on iron supplementation the rest of my life. the only iron i can tolerate is Iron Bisglycinate. this keeps my numbers up AND i can donate blood!
I'm a 60 year old woman who gives blood every 8 weeks. My hemoglobin used to prevent me from giving so I started supplementing with the low dose iron supplement. It actually makes me feel so much better... I hate to stop giving blood.
Look into copper as well, because that is needed to mobilize iron and keep it functioning properly. See the book, "The Copper Revolution: Healing with Minerals."
This is the first I've heard about calcium over 50. I'm 67 and have been taking it for years. No doctor has ever said that I should quit taking it. I will consider my diet to be more "calcium" friendly! I did have a bone density test last fall and all was good!
Same thing happened to my sister they told her keep taking the calcium supplement for her osteoporosis. I told her I would rather have a broken bone vs plaque in my arteries. Which now is what happened she has to much plaque now but dr said it’s not linked to her calcium supplement and she needs to continue taking it.
Wow. The only one of these that really surprises me is calcium for the ladies... That's alarming and seeing as I'm 61, distressing! Better to know late than never and I bet my PCP would never say that!! Ha! It's crazy how the sick care system works- or, rather "doesn't"!! Shocking...
Calcium supplements have been linked to osteoporosis. Yeah, let that sink in. Mammograms are one of the main causes for breast cancer too. The only thing filled with more lies an inversions than his-story, is American medical industry.
Great advice. I also use every opportunity to tell people to avoid vitamin B6 supplementation, in both its known toxicity form, pyridoxine hydrochloride, but also in its supposedly safer form, P5P, as individuals are reporting peripheral neuropathy from both. B6 is easily found in food and that’s all we need.
Maybe pure vanilla goat whey. I used to feel ill with regular whey. I do not drink a lot, but sometimes add some organic frozen berry fruit and the whey keeps you full.
I am 60 years old. There goes my calcium supplements in the garbage. Now I'm concerned if the calcium caused me to get calcifications. Thank you for sharing.
you can recover the damage from the calcification by only eating in a 6 hour window and only eating REAL food - mostly protein and animal fats,. and limit carbs totally or keep them at least 40 grams or less a day. I AM NOT A DOCTOR-- but i am someone who has walked this path.
I have a question about K2. I take D3 but research I’ve read says most people get adequate K2 from their diet. So I just wanted to clarify that a K2 supplement is still needed if taking D3, even if I eat a healthy diet.
@@charwrighton yes, but research shows most people already get enough K2 from their diets, that K2 deficiency is rare. So I wonder if I really need to take more K2 in supplement form. I happen to eat a very clean, whole food, organic, and healthy diet. And while I take daily supplements, I’m cautious not to take more of anything than I really need. I’d just like to know if there’s a reason to take supplemental K2, if K2 deficiency is rare, and I eat a healthier than normal diet.
@@roxane7432 I understand they complement each other. My question is just that K2 deficiency is very rare. Almost everyone already has adequate K2 in their systems, which raises the question of why additional K2 supplementation would be necessary.
I am glad I don’t take any of the supplements you caution against taking! Back in my early 50s I read a book about peri menopause and menopause. The doctor who wrote the book explained that calcium supplements are not necessarily good to take and the recommended ratio of calcium to magnesium intake is reversed from what it should be. It should be a higher amount of magnesium over calcium. So I have not supplemented with calcium since then. I finished menopause when I was 52. I am 68 years old now and my bones are strong. I am grateful I read that book so I didn’t fall for the much pushed idea that women in their 50s need to take calcium supplements.

Thanks for the good advice, but non of the supplements that you discussed were in the picture of your thumbnail. Perhaps you were using a stock image, but that is misleading.
If I remember correctly, about 10 years ago Dr Oz said to avoid soy, but he also said there's a difference between organic and regular soy products. He said organic soy was okay bec it didn't add high levels of estrogen in the body. Knowledge keeps changing, is organic tofu or org soy beverage okay?
Hi Dr Livingood, Is it true that you cannot combine taking Calcium and Magnesium? I bought at Costco a multi supplement in 1 pill - Calcium citrate (500 mg) with magnesium (80 mg), D3 (20 mcg), and zinc (10mg). Are these good combinations? Is there equivalent supplements I can buy from your clinic? Thanks for providing informative videos.
I eat meat and lots of nuts. My ferritin levels are continually low. Years ago I had to take a supplement in order to give blood and even then it was barely high enough to give. The last time I decided I wouldn’t do it again unless absolutely necessary, as it made me feel sick for days.
I'm still on iron. I take Ferritin 325mg every day. My ferritin level was a 2. I've had a blood transfusion in the past and earlier this year I had an infusion of iron or ferritin. I was advised that I no longer need to take ferritin but shortly after I had the infusion I started having my period. My periods are heavy and I am 53 and no end is in sight. I was on blood thinners and would basically bleed out every month. In May I had 15 inches of my colon removed as they found a non cancerous mass and they thought this was why I have been anemic. Right now I have been bleeding almost 2 1/2 months. That's why I'm continuing to take iron. Any suggestions?
I would recommend consulting your physician and working closely regarding your concerns. They will be able to work with you directly to see what is best for you!

THANK GOD someone says the truth about heart-attacks and CALCIUM. I read this 25 years ago.....but it seems that noboy else knows about it. THANK YOU!!!!
I’m 65 and I take iron because of poor absorption. I’m always cold and tired, and I have restless legs often. My hemoglobin is usually just barely in range, and my ferritin is always low. I want to get it up to 60, because I feel better. I think I’ve struggled with low iron all my life.

Excellent information! Very helpful. I am 78 and decided to create a flow chart to see where I might be overdosing due to all the supplements I’ve taken habitually for years. Calcium was definitely one of those I had incorporated K2 and a separate D3 together daily but now questioning if even the D3 should be limited? What are your thoughts on limits of D3?

Hi I had Hyperparathyroidism surgery 9 months and My Endocrinologist said no Calcium needed ...I've been fine and I do have Osteoporosis...bone check in a few months takes 2 years for bones to rebuild. Get your calcium through your diet.
You are spot on this happened to my sister to much calcium is now in her arteries. Doctors wanted her to take calcium because of her osteoporosis. My sister is 74 but now she has a plaque buildup in your arteries and doctors don’t see the link between the calcium. They just told her to keep taking the calcium vitamins
I’ve looked everywhere for an answer for this…I wanted to take a good krill oil supplement for the omega 3 benefits and all it benefits. I take 10mg per day of Eliquis for two years now as I had Tavr then. I’m doing fine and do not have any bruising or bleeding issues. I’ve heard krill oil is absorbed better than fish oil. One article said the slowing of blood clotting can be caused by krill oil but rare. I was going to try, though more expensive, the Verified Research brand which has the recommended levels of EPA and DHA. I would love your opinion. I want to take the krill oil for all its benefits. I’m a 72 year old female. I currently take the K2 with D3 suggested by you. I stopped taking calcium supplements at least a year ago. Can you help me?
Research shows this specific concentrated fish oil will absorb better than krill. It’s why I developed it. Also it has the most absorbable turmeric so you get two for one: store.drlivingood.com/products/livingood-daily-omegas

@@DrLivingood thank you!! We have been using it for years and love it. We have two bottles right now but when we finish one I'll order from you. I try to always keep a back up. Don't ever want to run out. Lol
I had bought several btls of colloidal silver already...my brother used to make it...he has since passed away. Thank you Dr Livingood.
@@karenpasquith6510 hello want to get some of the pill
I will be 74 in May. Just had a blood test and Dr. Said I was low in iron. Anemic. I was taking iron not religiously.
For food you want to focus on iron-rich foods like Greens, grass-fed beef etc. Vitamin C, found in citrus fruits, also helps with iron absorption. I recommend our multi, which contains methylated B12, iron, and folate. store.drlivingood.com/search?q=multi Join us for a challenge to get your foundations set in place!

I just got b12 because of you and um over 50
Thankfully I haven't taken these. But I will be getting a vitamin k supplement to take with my D3.
Our Vitamin D3 has K2, Magnesium, Lipoic Acid, Zinc, Vitamins A and E. All of the necessary Vitamins to ensure that is absorbed properly! -Livingood Daily Team
Blessings from Utah! 👊🏻🤩👍🏻
Thanks for the good advice, but non of the supplements that you discussed were in the picture of your thumbnail. Perhaps you were using a stock image, but that is misleading.
I have to take calcium from barimelts because I have no Thyroid and gastric bypass
If I remember correctly, about 10 years ago Dr Oz said to avoid soy, but he also said there's a difference between organic and regular soy products. He said organic soy was okay bec it didn't add high levels of estrogen in the body. Knowledge keeps changing, is organic tofu or org soy beverage okay?
We recommend avoiding them until personal goals are met. Once personal goals are met, an option that is both organic and non-GMO is okay. 🙂 - LGD Team
Thank you for all you do!!!
Thank you Dr.Your vidioes have been so imformative and helpful.☺🧡

LOVE all of your advice!
We're so happy to hear it! -LGD team
Hi Dr Livingood,
Is it true that you cannot combine taking Calcium and Magnesium? I bought at Costco a multi supplement in 1 pill - Calcium citrate (500 mg) with magnesium (80 mg), D3 (20 mcg), and zinc (10mg). Are these good combinations? Is there equivalent supplements I can buy from your clinic? Thanks for providing informative videos.
I eat meat and lots of nuts. My ferritin levels are continually low. Years ago I had to take a supplement in order to give blood and even then it was barely high enough to give. The last time I decided I wouldn’t do it again unless absolutely necessary, as it made me feel sick for days.
I a lot of sauerkraut that takes care of digestive issues and also the K2 🤔
Me too. I make a fermented kraut but I add garlic and also thai chili peppers so it is spicy and great to eat.
I'm still on iron. I take Ferritin 325mg every day. My ferritin level was a 2. I've had a blood transfusion in the past and earlier this year I had an infusion of iron or ferritin. I was advised that I no longer need to take ferritin but shortly after I had the infusion I started having my period. My periods are heavy and I am 53 and no end is in sight. I was on blood thinners and would basically bleed out every month. In May I had 15 inches of my colon removed as they found a non cancerous mass and they thought this was why I have been anemic. Right now I have been bleeding almost 2 1/2 months. That's why I'm continuing to take iron. Any suggestions?
I would recommend consulting your physician and working closely regarding your concerns. They will be able to work with you directly to see what is best for you! For food, you want to focus on iron-rich foods like leafy greens, grass-fed beef, etc. Vitamin C, found in citrus fruits, also helps with iron absorption.

What do you think about Organic Sea Sea Moss 2625mg, Sea moss, Hand Harvested, Irish Moss Bladderwrack and Burdock Root, Sea Moss Capsules, Irish Sea Moss?
DLG talks about his thoughts on sea moss in the Ask DLG 221@ 57:10. Basically he says it can have some benefits! Just make sure it is produced in a proper manner. -LGD Team
😯 Thx for this info!!
My serum ferritin levels are really low (I am vegetarian) so I've had to take iron every day but am about to have it rechecked and determine how I can keep my levels up via diet.
Be sure to add beans and leafy greens into your day for healthy iron levels! Combine these foods with food high in vitamin C for the best absorption! -LGD team
THANK GOD someone says the truth about heart-attacks and CALCIUM.
I read this 25 years ago.....but it seems that noboy else knows about it. THANK YOU!!!!
I’m 65 and I take iron because of poor absorption. I’m always cold and tired, and I have restless legs often. My hemoglobin is usually just barely in range, and my ferritin is always low. I want to get it up to 60, because I feel better. I think I’ve struggled with low iron all my life.

Super Beets are awesome for iron deficient.
You need magnesium - once I started taking it my restless leg stopped please look into it
I always feel tired too , have restless legs syndrome , runs in moms side of family 🤦♀️🤦♀️never feel rested when I wake up ..(what sleep I get anyway)
Excellent information! Very helpful.
I am 78 and decided to create a flow chart to see where I might be overdosing due to all the supplements I’ve taken habitually for years. Calcium was definitely one of those
I had incorporated K2 and a separate D3 together daily but now questioning if even the D3 should be limited?
What are your thoughts on limits of D3?
Hey there! I would just try a calcium-rich diet instead of supplementing it with calcium. Check out this article: drlivingood.com/forget-the-calcium-supplements/ Vitamin D3 and K2 are very important for bone health. We recommend D levels above 50. You can also check out our Bone health training to learn more! go.drlivingood.com/bone-a -LGD Team
D3 increases your absorption of calcium so you need to take magnesium as well to balance otherwise you can damage your bones
2/12/23.Is there any other way of lowering the ferritin levels in your blood other than giving blood. Thanks so much

I'd recommend the Greens + Superfood and the Collagen + Multivitamin! drlivingood.pulse.ly/32kijadn5d -LGD Team
Great info. My question is what supplements should I take. I’m 59 female
Hi there! Totally depends on what your goals are. We usually recommend our Collagen + Multi and Daily Greens + Superfoods for anyone! The Omegas + Turmeric are great for inflammation and Women's Support is recommended for hormonal support! Check out the store site to see the product pages of whatever interests you! :) - LGD Team
@@DrLivingood so my goals are to lose some weight and gain muscle or build my strength at least. I have a pretty physical job and I need to stay strong
I'm almost 57 and am trying to navigate which supplements I should be taking. I'm the one who gets the crazy muscle cramps.
Magnesium is one of the most important nutrients we can take. It is vital for many systems such as your heart, sleep, digestion and muscle support. Livingood Daily Magnesium offers 7 forms of magnesium to support all of those functions! Check out our Magnesium supplement here: Store.drlivingood.com/products/livingood-daily-magnesium You can learn more about magnesium-rich foods here: ruclips.net/video/mKItycSHxDw/видео.html
I think it also depends on which brand of vitamins one is taking.
So how do you take K2 and avoid soy based supplements at the same time?
2:20 take K2, 5:00 Don't take Soy based supplements.
K2 is for heart health, blood vessel health, and the proper absorption of calcium into your bones so it does not end up in your arteries. Primary Vit K we need in our system is K2, especially when taking vitamin D! Check out this article: drlivingood.com/vitamin-k2-benefits-heart/
We avoid anything with soy. Check out these videos! www.youtube.com/@DrLivingood/search?query=soy -LGD Team
Calcium lactate is the best!!👍🙏
Dr. Livingood what about if you have had parathyroid surgery removing the parathyroid that puts to much calcium in your bloodstream ?.I am over 50 and am suppose to
take 600mg of calcium a day.
We recommend you ask on the ASK DLG Live tomorrow (Every Wednesday) at 8:30am est! He'll be able to give you the best explanation and answer! -LGD Team
Hi I had Hyperparathyroidism surgery 9 months and My Endocrinologist said no Calcium needed ...I've been fine and I do have Osteoporosis...bone check in a few months takes 2 years for bones to rebuild. Get your calcium through your diet.
You are spot on this happened to my sister to much calcium is now in her arteries. Doctors wanted her to take calcium because of her osteoporosis. My sister is 74 but now she has a plaque buildup in your arteries and doctors don’t see the link between the calcium. They just told her to keep taking the calcium vitamins
😮
I’ve looked everywhere for an answer for this…I wanted to take a good krill oil supplement for the omega 3 benefits and all it benefits. I take 10mg per day of Eliquis for two years now as I had Tavr then. I’m doing fine and do not have any bruising or bleeding issues. I’ve heard krill oil is absorbed better than fish oil. One article said the slowing of blood clotting can be caused by krill oil but rare. I was going to try, though more expensive, the Verified Research brand which has the recommended levels of EPA and DHA. I would love your opinion. I want to take the krill oil for all its benefits. I’m a 72 year old female. I currently take the K2 with D3 suggested by you. I stopped taking calcium supplements at least a year ago. Can you help me?
Research shows this specific concentrated fish oil will absorb better than krill. It’s why I developed it. Also it has the most absorbable turmeric so you get two for one: store.drlivingood.com/products/livingood-daily-omegas

My aunt has some serious bone issues. She keeps breaking bones and her doctors just tell her to take more calcium. She is in her '60s. I was trying to tell her that she needs to take vitamin d and k but she thinks she needs to listen to her doctors! They are misleading her!
He'll change his mind when he reaches 50. This is a good example of why doctors are the 3rd leading cause of death.
