The Ben Azadi Show

Today, I am blessed to have here with me the Founder of The Energy Blueprint, Ari Whitten. He is an energy and fatigue specialist who focuses on taking an evidence-based approach to energy enhancement, a nutrition, exercise, and natural health expert, and a #1 best-selling author. He has been studying nutrition and holistic health for over two decades. He has a Bachelor of Science from San Diego State University in Kinesiology (specializing in fitness, nutrition, and health). He also has a background in exercise physiology and fitness and holds two advanced certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist. In addition, he recently completed the three years of coursework for his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, an education which rounds out all aspects – nutrition, fitness, and psychology – of his approach to optimal health. Ari is a tireless researcher who has obsessively devoted the last 20 years of his life to the pursuit of being on the cutting edge of the science of health and energy enhancement. For the last six years, he’s been working with many of the top scientists and physicians on the planet to develop the most comprehensive program in the world on the science of overcoming fatigue and increasing energy — The Energy Blueprint. In this episode, Ari first speaks about his Epstein Barr Virus diagnosis and how that took him down a rabbit hole of energy optimization. One way to improve chronic fatigue is by growing more mitochondria; Ari explains how this is possible. Then, Ari dives into melatonin and tips for fixing a circadian rhythm disruption. Tune in as we chat about the importance of hormetic stressors, Eat For Energy, and Ari’s products from The Energy Blueprint.

[00:45] Ari Speaks About Epstein Barr Virus and His Obsession With Energy Optimization Ari has been studying health science his whole life. Unfortunately, Ari got very sick with Epstein Barr Virus and mononucleosis in his mid-twenties. He lost about thirty-five pounds in the span of a month; he couldn’t eat because the back of his throat was so swollen. Ari was left with chronic fatigue; it shifted his entire life. So, Ari started to focus on the world of energy optimization; he became obsessed with energy science. Conventional medical doctors had no information to offer Ari. After doing research, Ari found that science actually does not support the idea that adrenal fatigue is a significant cause of chronic fatigue. Well, Ari realized that no one truly understands what is causing fatigue. [08:45] The Key To Overcoming Fatigue Is Growing More Mitochondria Finding ways to grow more mitochondria and strengthen your mitochondria is a massive key to the puzzle of overcoming fatigue. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. We are taught to think of mitochondria as these mindless energy generators. Something you may not know is the mitochondria have a dual role beyond energy production, which is just as important as their role in energy production. The mitochondria also help with energy regulation. Your energy levels are a function of the degree to which your mitochondria decide if you’re safe or if you’re under attack. [17:50] Hormetic Stressors Will Make Your Mitochondria Bigger and Stronger Hormetic stress is how a transient metabolic stressor works to stimulate beneficial adaptations that ultimately increase resilience and resistance in the face of a broad range of other stressors. Basically, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. By exposing yourself to moderate stressors within your body's capacity, you make your body more robust and more resistant. Hormetic stressors are vital for challenging our mitochondria and stimulating them in a way that makes them bigger and stronger. [27:30] Is Your Body Under Attack? Your Brain Will Create Sickness Behavior When cells are under attack, they shift all their resources to defense mode. Cells will go into defense mode to protect themselves. They also go into defense mode as an evolutionary adaptive mechanism to he

[00:50] Why Dr. Perlmutter Dedicated His Life To The Gut, The Brain, and Uric Acid Dr. Perlmutter wanted to work to create programs that would help patients prevent the very diseases that they were trying to treat. Lifestyle choices really play a central role as we architect our brain's future. So, Dr. Perlmutter began to implement lifestyle medicine into his practice. Eventually, Dr. Perlmutter wrote Grain Brain to help people understand that lifestyle choices significantly impact our brain’s destiny. Get Grain Brain here: https://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/0316485136/benazadi-20 After Grain Brain, Dr. Perlmutter started to study how the gut influences the brain's destiny. Lately, Dr. Perlmutter has been studying how uric acid disturbs our metabolism. [15:00] Why Dr. Perlmutter Decided To Write A Book All About Uric Acid Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid―The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health: https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Acid-Surprising-Controlling-Extraordinary/dp/0316315397/benazadi-20 The average rate of uric acid in America right now is six. People with high uric acid levels have an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s. There’s a relationship between these diseases and uric acid. Uric acid directly leads to insulin resistance. [19:30] Your Body Is Retaining Uric Acid As A Survival Mechanism We tend to retain uric acid. Our uric acid levels can be higher as a survival mechanism, thanks to our primate ancestors. We don't hibernate for six months. Therefore, we don't need to be storing this fat for the winter that never comes. 88% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy. Getting Covid is associated with a 40 to 60% increased risk of type two diabetes. Individuals with higher uric acid levels have a higher risk of dying from Covid. [25:10] Your Body Can’t Handle More Than Five Grams of Fructose At A Time Your body can handle some fructose, about five grams at a time. When your body is presented with high levels of fructose, it overwhelms what the body can do. When fructose i

[00:40] What Dr. Porter Learned About Meditation Growing Up The main thing that Dr. Porter learned was that anything that he wanted to accomplish, especially in the field of sports, could be done through meditation. If you can visualize something, you can succeed. If you can’t visualize something, you will mess up. By using the meditation techniques in sports, Dr. Porter started to have more attention and concentration. Eventually, he began to visualize his grades. Where you feed energy will expand. [09:00] How Going Out In Nature and Enjoying The Sun Will Benefit Your Health Our brain loves patterns. If you’re used to watching the news every night, the subconscious will incorporate it into your dreams. Our body needs the earth. Dr. Porter recommends checking out Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!: https://www.amazon.com/Earthing-Most-Important-Health-Discovery/dp/1591202833/benazadi-20. All of our cells get power from the sun. There are more mitochondria in your eyes than in other places in the body. Your body will interact with the garden, trees, grass, and the Earth. Nature will work in making your brain well, not the news. [21:30] Cortisol and Adrenaline Hijack the Brain; Plus, Stress Shrinks The Brain We're either in our thriving brain, or we're in our surviving brain. There is no middle ground. If you have a hard time with PTSD, you will be in survival mode all the time. Our brains don’t know how to flip the switch. We need ways to recover; you can’t just keep going and going. One stressful year shrinks the brain three-quarters of an inch. Our subconscious controls 95% of our biology.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Owen Hemsath and Kali Moynihan. Owen was told that he had Stage 4 Terminal Cancer that was inoperable and should get his affairs in order. Since that diagnosis Owen has been on a journey to put his cancer in PERMANENT remission and has thus far shrunk his tumors by 30%! Learn more about Owen here: http://beatcancerwithme.com. Kali was also diagnosed with Stage 4 Terminal Cancer. Learn more about Kali by following her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithcancer/. In this episode, Owen and Kali open up about their inspiring stories. They both speak about having large tumors removed from their chest and eventually being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Later, they chat about what it’s like to follow conventional medicine vs. changing your lifestyle through fasting and keto. Tune in as they talk about the journey to metabolic flexibility, finding people who believe in your recovery, and the importance of strategy when it comes to remission.

[01:45] Kali Opens Up About Her Story and Finding Out About Stage 4 Cancer Owen and Kali have the same type of cancer, thymoma. Kali decided to do her own research, take control of her health, and be her advocate. Kali found out about her stage 4 cancer two months after having a baby. It all started during Covid; Kali had chest pain and difficulty breathing. After going to the emergency room, the doctors found a tumor the size of an orange. The tumor had ruptured, causing immense pain. Eventually, Kali had her diaphragm removed and replaced with mesh. Plus, the doctors stripped her pleural lining and took a little bit of her right lung. [14:30] Owen Speaks About His Story and Also Getting Diagnosed With Stage 4 Cancer Owen had a grapefruit-sized tumor in his chest. He had surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Later, Owen shrunk his tumor 30% by fasting and eating a plant-based keto diet. Through lifestyle changes, Owen was in a therapeutic process, changing his body’s chemistry to eat cancer while awake and thriving. Eventually, Owen was diagnosed with stage four cancer. The doctors told Owen that there was no hope; every single scan got worse. Owen was told he would only live two to five more years. Down the road, Owen read the book How To Starve Cancer; it changed his life. Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/How-Starve-Cancer-Jane-McLelland/dp/0951951734/benazadi-20 [27:00] Surround Yourself With Survivors and People Who Believe In Your Recovery Is your goal to use the doctor’s medicine, or is your goal to overcome your disease? Owen’s doctors told them there was no chance. So, why would he do what the doctors told him to do? Instead, Owen wanted to follow people who believed he could overcome his diagnosis. Instead, you should find a community of survivors, not statistics from doctors. When you surround yourself with survivors, you will be in a healthier place. [28:15] Resources To Learn From On Your Journey To Recovery Owen and Kali learned a lot from Dr. Nasha. Check out her work here: https://www.drnasha.com Also, get the book The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: https://www.amazon.com/Metabolic-Approach-Cancer-Integrating-Bio-Individualized/dp/1603586865/benazadi-20 After surgery, Kali had high inflammation. Kali started following the keto diet and fasting; her inflammation went down tremendously. Owen recommends listening to Radical Remission: https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Remission-Surviving-Cancer-Against/dp/0062268740/benazadi-20 Something that Owen learned is that different cancers react to proteins differently. [36:15] Be Careful With CT Scans - They Will Increase Your Secondary Risks Getting two and a half CT scans per year dramatically increases your chance of secondary cancers. Owen brought this up to his doctor; she said he wouldn’t live that long anyway. When you test fasting and keto, you have to get a scan and see what it did; you have to be strategic. Remember, whenever you get a scan, you are increasing secondary risks. Owen says that you should get an MRI; that way, you don’t get any radiation. When you fast, you’ll be in deep autophagy. You have to know why you are doing the

Register your free spot here: https://kka.mykajabi.com/keto-challenge [01:40] About Vinnie Tortorich In Hollywood, Vinnie helped actors and actresses lose weight. Movie companies need their starlets to look a certain way. Vinnie would receive the call to get people into shape in three weeks. You can’t run off fourteen months of bad behavior. Instead, weight loss is all about diet. Vinnie knew that meat is a great way to lose weight, decrease inflammation, and feel better overall. Plus, meat is heart-healthy. Vinnie wrote the book Fitness Confidential; he didn’t want to put the word ketosis in the book. He knew the medical community would say he was trying to kill people. [06:45] Why Vinnie Never Used The Word “Keto” In 2013, Vinnie heard about net carbs. It doesn’t work! If it worked, Vinnie would tell people to do it. Vinnie gives away his information for free – he has never charged for his information. So, why would he lie to anyone? Vinnie owns the rights to NSNG (no sugars, no grains). No one is certifying the word “keto.” You can take a bowl of sugar, wrap it up, and say it’s keto-certified. In reality, it’s not keto-certified because it’s not good for you. [12:15] Why Insulin Is Important If insulin is so bad, then why do people need it to live? Insulin is a hormone that we need to live. All hormones control mechanisms in our bodies. Insulin does a lot of things. It gets released to go down and cover sugar in our liver. When you eat a piece of fruit, the sugar gets to your liver. Then, the insulin will convert sugar into glucose and stores it around your body. In order to maintain homeostasis, we only have a couple of teaspoons in our blood. Sugar can’t go anywhere. So, our body will store it as fat though long-chain triglycerides. The long-chain triglycerides take a lot of work to break it down. When we eat too many carbs, you are getting an insulin load. It makes us insulin resistant. Then, we can end up type 2 diabetes. The key is to eat foods that are insulin friendly. [18:25] Can Fat Make You Fat? Yes, fat can you make you fat if you eat it in excess. However, fats aren’t going to make you eat in excess. For example, you can eat a whole bag of corn chips. Once you start eating them, you can’t stop. People who are obese can’t stop eating corn chips. While on the other hand, if you went to steakhouse, and you had a giant fatty steak. When you take the last bite and they bring you a second steak, you would bag it up and take it home. Why is that? With the Doritos, the hormones are pouring out. With the meat, you feel satiated. You are going to feel full on fatty things vs. carbs. [27:50] Drinking Too Much Heavy Cream Vinnie tells a story about one of his clients, Gabriella, who stopped losing weight. She had another thirty pounds to go. Gabriella would drink coffee with heavy cream in the morning and eggs. She explains the rest of her diet and it was all perfect. However, Gabriella was actually drinking 18 oz of heavy cream every morning. Even when you have too much fat, you may not get fat. However, it may prevent you from losing weight. [31:55] What’s Wrong With Calories In and Calories

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Morley Robbins. He is the creator and founder of The Root Cause Protocol and the Magnesium Advocacy Group. Morley received his BA in Biology from Denison University in Ohio and holds an MBA from George Washington University in healthcare administration. Morley has trained in wellness coaching, nutritional counseling, and functional diagnostic nutrition. He is also known as the Magnesium Man due to his extensive research into and understanding of magnesium’s role in the body. Morley’s research saw him deciphering the intricate relationship between magnesium, iron, copper, and calcium as a way to free ourselves from illness and dis-ease. As a certified health coach with expertise in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), Morley has performed thousands of RCP one-on-one consultations, helping people feel better by getting to the root cause of their symptoms. In this episode, Morley talks about becoming obsessed with copper in the mitochondria. He dives into what you need to know about the mitochondria and how to ensure you’re getting excellent mitochondria function. Then, Morley digs deep into copper; he explains precisely why you need more copper in your diet, and the reason copper is critical for anyone following a ketogenic lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about the problem with ascorbic acid and which three things will improve your copper levels. Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

[01:00] How Morley Became Obsessed with Copper in the Mitochondria Morley was born into a very sickly family with many illnesses. After doing medical research, Morley found that in the world of science, they separated copper from iron metabolism. In traditional Chinese medicine, copper is the general, and iron is the foot soldier. When the general is not around, foot soldiers go crazy. This is exactly what happens inside our bodies. [06:10] What You Need To Know About Mitochondria In The Human Body We've been trained to think of the mitochondria as an energy furnace. People think that the mitochondria just put out energy. There are 40 quadrillion mitochondria in our body. The average cell has about 500 mitochondria. The average liver cell has 2,000, kidney cells have 4,000, heart cells have 10,000, and a mature egg in a woman's body has 600,000 mitochondria. The cells that are primarily relied upon for survival have the most mitochondria. Morley likes to say, “ignore the enemies; ignite the energy.” Morley has learned that if you don't have copper in your diet and don't have retinol to make copper bioavailable, you're not getting excellent mitochondria function. If mitochondria cannot produce energy, they cannot recycle iron. [21:30] Ferritin In The Body and The Reason You Need Copper To Stay Healthy There are four different forms of ferritin in the body. There are two principal flavors: heavy chain and light chain. Whenever you see the phrase heavy chain, it means copper is involved. The light chain is expressed most extensively in the liver. The heavy chain is expressed chiefly in the heart. There is also serum ferritin. Many people believe that ferritin in the blood accurately reflects what's happening inside cells. However, when you get serum ferritin high, you toxify the liver. When you suppress copper in an animal's diet, iron will rip up in the liver. [32:20] We Need To Make 2.5 Million Red Blood Cells Every Single Second 70% of the iron in the body is in hemoglobin. There's a recycling system for iron called the reticular endothelial system. Every second of every day, we need to make 2.5 million red blood cells. In 24 hours, we make 2 trillion red blood cells. It only takes 24 milligrams of iron to support that level of production. [39:50] The Reason You Need More Cooper on A Ketogenic Diet if you ferment sugar without oxygen, you get two units of energy. If you oxidize the sugar, you're going to get around 34. If you oxidize fat, you’ll get 140 units of energy. 90% of the energy comes out of the mitochondria. It does not take a lot of copper to run our body; copper creates energy. If you're going to have a keto diet, you better have a healthy supply of copper. The metabolism of fats is copper-depe

Later, Kevin ended up getting diagnosed with osteoporosis in his early 30s. Kevin was devastated about his diagnosis. At the time, Kevin had gut health issues, poor energy, wasn’t sleeping well, and had high stress. So, Kevin knew he had to address everything to fix his health. Finally, Kevin got the right plan for his health and bones. [06:10] The Answer To Your Health Problems Won’t Come From The Pharmacy Kevin always thought that the answer to his health problems would come from a pharmacy or a doctor. Throughout his life, Kevin took sleeping pills, antidepressants, antibiotics, and countless other medications to help address the signs and symptoms of his condition. However, he never really received a complete resolution of those issues because he was just covering up the cause. Kevin just wanted to divest himself from thinking that the solution to his health was in a pill. [09:20] The Importance of Gut Health For Your Overall Health Your body and your bones are like plants. To grow, they need nutrients and the right conditions. Most people focus on nutrients like salads and smoothies. They’re not considering the soil. Our gut is like the soil; it is where we absorb almost everything. To absorb anything, you need roots in your soil. Our roots are called villi. They're these tiny little hairlike projections that cover our small intestine. The villi will shuttle nutrients into your bloodstream so they can travel where they are needed in your body. When you have poor digestion, you won’t be able to break down food properly. [13:45] Gut Health: Testing Your Stomach Acid and Other Options First, figure out where your stomach acid is; there are a few different tests that you can do. If you have low stomach acid, you can supplement with betaine HCl. You could also use some digestive enzymes to help break down your food. You need a digestive stool test to understand what is going on inside your microbiome. Then, you will work with a practitioner to build a protocol. Check out Gut Zoomer: https://www.vibrant-wellness.com/tests/gut-zoomer/ [15:50] Do I Have To Stop Drinking Coffee If I Have Gut Issues? Do I have to stop drinking coffee? The answer is no. The big concern is caffeine when it comes to coffee. Caffeine is going to vary slightly to increase calcium excretion. Most people don’t need to avoid coffee. Instead, drink less. If you've got caffeine intakes greater than 300 milligrams a day, calcium excreted in the urine w

She's been a nurse practitioner for 20+ years, and is a two-time TEDx speaker. Her viral TEDx Talk: Intermittent Fasting: Transformative Technique has been viewed nearly 5.5 million times in less than 9 months. She has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW and in Medium and Entrepreneur. She's also the host of Everyday Wellness podcast, which was listed as "20 Podcasts That Will Help You Grow in 2020" by Entrepreneur magazine. Why Cynthia Loves Fasting For Women If you do nothing else, eat less often. It can impact your metabolic health and is profoundly beneficial in many ways. Women have to fast differently; they are governed by fluctuating levels of hormones, at least until menopause. Cynthia is all about empowering you to embrace the typical way that your body is designed to thrive. Many people are looking to change the narrative about health and wellness. You don't have to spend $5,000 a year on supplements! Instead, it would help if you were the driver of change in your own life. Fasting is free, and it's one of the best tools to change your health. Hormone Differences Depending on Your Cycle If you're a lean young woman, you want to be conservative with your fasting window because you just don't have a lot of extra stored fat to lose. Cycling women are prone to insulin resistance or have insulin resistance. Eating less often really can be nicely aligned with a women's menstrual cycle. The first two weeks of the menstrual cycle can be a time where a woman pushes their workouts. Along with that, you can push the fasting window. As you make the transition into the second half of your menstrual cycle, this is the time to do yoga, connect with nature, and do less intense forms of exercise. This is not the time to do an extended fast. Once you start bleeding, you can go back to your regular schedule. During menopause, if women dial in on the lifestyle choices, they have tremendous success. The Mistakes You Are Making With Fasting The first mistake people make is not getting enough sleep. If you are not sleeping throughout the night, then do not start fasting. Instead, you need to figure out why you are not sleeping. Next, you are being too restrictive with your fasts. We need to hit our proteins, fats, and non-starchy carbohydrates. However, many people are too rigid. It would help if you believed in the value of a refeeding day. Depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle, maybe it's time to add some root vegetables or squash. Cynthia broke her fast early today because she did a heavy lift day. Lean into what your body is telling you! Lastly, many people are exercising too much. Cynthia says you need to exercise smarter, not harder. Why Cynthia Loves Ketosis Cynthia loves the ability to have sustained energy and mental clarity. When you're in ketosis, you have more control than you thought you did. After all those years of being hangry and having energy slumps, you can finally take control back. In ketosis, people feel so much better. Cynthia loves the empowerment people feel during ketosis. Ketosis is all about harnessing how our bodies are intrinsically designed to thrive. Plus, you can feel the difference when you are in ketosis; it's a total game-changer for your health.

She has done over 70,000 kilometers around the earth. Lisa wasn’t built to run; instead, she decided she wanted to become a runner. In the beginning, Lisa suffered. However, she got good enough to overcome the adversity. [07:15] Lisa Was In An Abusive Relationship and Discovered Ultramarathon Running Lisa was in an abusive relationship in her 20s. Her relationship had a massive impact on her. Lisa felt hopeless because she was constantly being verbally abused. Eventually, Lisa recovered from her relationship and got into ultramarathon running. The comradeship, friendship, and positivity kept her coming back to ultramarathons. [18:10] What To Do If You’re Going Through A Traumatic Situation You need to take control of some aspect of the crisis you're going through. The amygdala is a very primitive part of the brain that does this fight or flight response. Your amygdala will takeover during something traumatic. So, you need to get control of your breath. The exhale will be critical; the exhale tells your body that it is not in danger. In fight or flight, your prefrontal cortex turns off. Next, look at what you can control. [23:35] Relentless: How A Mother and Daughter Defied The Odds Six years ago, Lisa’s mom had a massive aneurysm. When they got to the doctor, they said she only had a migraine. After six hours, Lisa’s mom got a CT scan; they found out a massive vessel had burst. At that moment, they didn’t think she would survive. An air ambulance took twelve hours to arrive. To stay calm, Lisa figured out what she could be in control of during this situation. Lisa’s mom was in and out of a coma for three weeks. Eventually, she stabilized, and she survived. The book Relentless is a mindset book; it’s the mindset that it takes to overcome massive obstacles. The book can be applied in any situation. [44:00] Fasting and Ketones To Help Overcome Health Struggles Lisa’s mom would eat one meal a day. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t fast for an entire day. Exogenous ketones helped her stay in ketosis. Lowering free radicals and inflammation is a huge benefit. Ketones cannot be used as fuel for cancer. Plus, Lisa would give her mom PerfectAmino: https://bodyhealth.com/products/perfectamino-special-3-pack [54:00] How To Talk To Doctors When They Don’t Listen There are many limitations in the medical system. You have to advocate, and you have to push; don’t sit there and be polite. We are taught that doctors are the authorit

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Stephen Sideroff. Dr. Stephen Sideroff is an internationally recognized expert in resilience, optimal performance, addiction, neurofeedback, and alternative approaches to stress and mental health. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, with a joint appointment in the Department of Rheumatology at UCLA’s School of Medicine, as well as the Director of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics. For over 40 years, Dr. Sideroff has been passionate about studying and understanding resilience and optimal performance. He has developed and established innovative models of behavior and treatment approaches for restoring physical, emotional, and mental balance and effectiveness in North America, Europe, and Asia. In this episode, Dr. Sideroff talks about why we decided to dedicate his life to resilience. Unfortunately, many people have great resistance to managing their stress. That’s why Dr. Sideroff discusses the importance of keeping your nervous system in a good place, how your childhood environment plays a role in your resilience, and unpacking the unconscious to face difficult feelings. Tune in as we dive into Dr. Sideroff’s Resilience Assessment Booklet and how to measure a critical aspect of your physiology. ng May 9th 2022.

[00:35] Why Dr. Sideroff Decided To Dedicate His Life To Resilience Dr. Sideroff has always been interested in studying the brain mechanisms of learning and memory. He was interested in finding the brain's connections, so he started a career as a brain researcher. Eventually, he started doing stress management workshops for organizations and corporations. After the workshops, people felt inspired to make changes in their lives. A few months later, very few people actually followed through with those changes. Down the road, Dr. Sideroff began to identify why we have great resistance to managing our stress. [05:45] Keeping The Nervous System In A Good Place Through Resilience When we think about resilience, we think about the ability to bounce back and recover after a stressful event. If you view the world as dangerous, you expect a problem to arise. When you anticipate danger, your body mobilizes for that danger. If you're continually activating your nervous system in preparation for danger, you're not allowing your body to recover fully. The ability to bounce back is part of resilience. [09:40] How The Environment of Our Childhood Will Affect Our Resilience Primitive Gestalt patterns are how our brain develops throughout childhood based on the lessons of our childhood environment. Our brain literally forms its circuitry based on those childhood lessons. We adapt to our childhood environment. Then our adaptation gets locked in. If our childhood was dangerous, we as adults continue to think the world is just as dangerous. Resilience is about being able to think outside the box and adapt to our current environment. Many of the consequences of our childhood are not something that we're always conscious about. [14:50] Unpacking The Unconscious To Live A Happier Life The first step in unpacking the unconscious is a willingness to face complicated feelings, emotions, and issues. Next, you have to be accepting of whatever emotions you have. You can love your mother and father yet still be angry at them. Living a happier and healthier life is about a willingness to grow up. [20:50] The First Three Pillars From The Path: Mastering the Nine Pillars of Resilience and Success What is the most crucial relationship that you have? It’s the relationship with yourself. Consider these questions: Are you critical and judgmental of yourself? Do you put yourself down? Are you loving, accepting, and compassionate toward yourself? The first pillar is all about how you treat yourself and then comparing that to the healthy or ideal way of treating yourself. You can do this by becoming consciously aware of your thoughts. The second pillar is your relationship with others. Are you able to tell the difference between healthy and toxic relationships? The third pillar is a relationship with something more significant; this extends to the comm

Register your free spot here: https://kka.mykajabi.com/keto-challenge Balancing mTOR and Autophagy The mTOR pathway is our building pathway. It's about building muscle tissue; it handles growth and cell reproduction. Kids have a high driving mTOR because their bodies are growing fast. The same goes for pregnant women. We still want activity in the mTOR pathway, mainly because we want to maintain lean body tissue, be resilient, and be fit. Basically, mTOR helps us be strong, healthy, and preserve muscle tissue. However, when mTOR is turned on all the time, now we end up with too much inflammation. Autophagy will help you find balance because it suppresses mTOR. What Happens When Our Body Gets Rid of A Cell? When your body gets rid of a cell, it will replace it. It creates new young embryonic cells with more stress resiliency and stronger mitochondria. When we have these senescence cells that are continuing to divide, they create more copies of badly damaged cells. So instead, we want to get rid of those, or we want to repair them before they become a zombie cell. If they've already become zombies, we get rid of them and replace them with these young embryonic stem cells. Why Dr. Jockers Loves Keto Keto just allows his brain to function at its best; it's really a state of thriving. When ketones are elevated, your body becomes highly energy efficient. He feels more at peace and calmer when he is in ketosis. In ketosis, your brain can function at a higher level, and you can create at a higher level. In human history, when they didn't have food, they needed to become creative, and they needed to be resilient. If we are always well-fed, then we become lazy. Ketones have allowed humanity to survive times of famine, stress, and challenge. Overall, ketosis primes us for optimum health. The Importance of Fasting on Your Health Journey If you can fast for twenty-four hours, that's a sign that you are metabolically fit. Also, that's a sign that you are insulin sensitive, and just about all chronic diseases are related to insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and gut dysbiosis. Fasting also has a powerful effect on enhancing healing of the gut lining and enhancing the microbiome's diversity. 90 to 95% of chronic diseases would be gone if people did a twenty-four-hour fast once a week. We would get rid of more diseases by focusing on nutritional habits and intermittent fasting. Why We Don’t Want To Do Keto Forever Keto is a nutrition plan that, in a sense, mimics fasting in that it keeps insulin down. We need higher insulin for short periods to tell the body to produce certain hormones and tell the body to build and grow. We want to replenish our bodies entirely and make the hormones we need to thrive. Sex hormones, for example, and thyroid hormones, depend upon enough insulin to get the right amount of stimulation. Many people, they're already producing too much insulin. Once insulin gets down, we want to elevate it for short periods then drop it down again.

[00:55] Why Dr. Anna Cabeca Wrote The Book MenuPause Dr. Cabeca wanted to write the book because women are getting stuck. It can feel frustrating when you’re doing everything right, and you hit a plateau. Hot flashes, weight gain, and energy issues are massive symptoms. Menopause is natural. However, suffering is optional. In a quick window of time, we can feel improvements and feel empowered. [07:10] The Importance of Maintaining Healthy Ovarian Function We can restore and keep healthy ovarian function by looking at hormone disrupters and clearing them from our bodies. Plus, we should support the liver and detoxification. Healthy habits will allow us to have our menstrual cycles for longer - it’s a longevity marker. One of the risk factors for diabetes and pre-diabetes is menopause. A higher risk factor is if you've had a hysterectomy. Thirdly, if you've had your ovaries removed, you have a significantly higher risk of diabetes. If you had your ovaries removed, even before 65, your risk of cardiovascular disease is almost double. The association with diabetes tells how important it is to maintain healthy ovarian function. [09:10] Why Women Need More Ketones Between The Ages of 35 and 55 During ages 35 - 55, the use of glucose in a women’s brain significantly decreases. Instead, you shift to using ketones for fuel in the brain. Dr. Cabeca emphasizes the importance of greens. Depending on your symptoms, you have to pause greens, or you may have to pause meat. Sometimes we need to challenge our gut bacteria, and sometimes, we have to support digestive enzymes. It depends on your unique needs. [14:15] Why You May Want To Consider Using A Progesterone Cream Dr. Anna Cabeca is a massive fan of progesterone. There are progesterone receptors in our brain, bones, and breasts. Progesterone supports healthy breast tissue. Plus, progesterone will support healthy metabolism and healthy neuroendocrine function. Dr. Cabeca has used progesterone in men for anxiety and insomnia; it is a total game-changer. Oral progesterone is excellent if you are working on sleep.

[00:40] How Michael Got Involved In The Biohacking Space When the keto diet started to take off, Michael wanted to figure out how ketones could be made. In 2017, Michael and his business partner launched their first ketone drink. Luckily, their first big customer was the United States Department of Defense. It’s important to know that drinking a ketone is not the same as doing a ketogenic diet. There’s a lot of research going on, and it’s an exciting time for ketones! [04:10] Why You May Benefit From A Ketogenic Lifestyle COVID highlighted the metabolic dysfunction that is going on in society. If you have a less metabolically healthy profile, you're more susceptible to COVID. There’s an even bigger pandemic than COVID; it’s metabolic health. 88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. All Americans can benefit from a ketogenic lifestyle because it can help improve their metabolic health. [07:20] What Makes H.V.M.N. Different From Other Companies A lot of brands are making great products that include exogenous ketones. H.V.M.N. does not include any seed oils. Their whole breakthrough was making a natural pure ketone that doesn't have salt. The ketones go directly to blood BHB and elevate your blood ketone levels. The Department of Defense was interested because they have been researching ketones since the early 2000s. H.V.M.N. has made the most effective ketone delivery mechanism. Overall, it works better than ketone salts. [15:35] Why You May Want To Avoid Exogenous Ketones If you have any liver issues, then avoid exogenous ketones. There are calories in ketones. Ketones will temporarily slow down your body’s rate of producing its own ketones from fat. So, if your goal is fasting with zero calories, you may want to avoid exogenous ketones. You want to use exogenous ketones in conjunction with other metabolically healthy exercises. You shouldn’t have exogenous ketones on top of a bad diet. [31:10] Some Biohacks To Try While Using Ketone-IQ Ketone-IQ™️ is a drinkable ketone designed to be taken daily to support mental clarity, athletic performance, and metabolic health. Check it out here: https://hvmn.com/?rfsn=6500737.21298f use the coupon code KETOKAMP for 10% off your entire order. Ketone-IQ can be a source of energy while doing a ketogenic lifestyle. If you are feeling sluggish, Ketone-IQ can help you immensely. Athletes are using Ketone-IQ to improve performance. [43:50] What To Know About C8, The Most Ketogenic MCT MCT means medium chain triglyceride. MCT fats are the most ketogenic; they can readily turn into ketones. C8 specifically can turn into ketones endogenously better than all the other MCTs. If you’re going to get any type of MCT out there, look for pure C8.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me an investigative science and health journalist and co-founder of the non-profit Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI.org), Gary Taubes. He is the author of The Case Against Sugar (2016), Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It (2011), and Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007), published as The Diet Delusion in the UK. Taubes is the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research and has won numerous other journalism awards. These include the International Health Reporting Award from the Pan American Health Organization and the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Journalism Award, which he won in 1996, 1999, and 2001.

Taubes graduated from Harvard College in 1977 with an SB degree in applied physics and received an MS degree in engineering from Stanford University (1978) and in journalism from Columbia University (1981). In this episode, Gary Taubes joins the show to speak about his work shining a light on bad science in the nutritional realm. After publishing What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?, Gary faced loads of backlash. However, that didn’t stop him. Gary has published countless books about why we need to ditch carbs, stop eating sugar, and start eating fats. Gary speaks about the inspiration behind his book, The Case For Keto. After interviewing 120 doctors from around the world that recommend the keto lifestyle, his book talks about why the established rules about eating healthy might be the wrong approach to weight loss. Tune in as we talk about why calories in, calories out is a terrible way to lose weight.

He found a disconnect between medical research and public research. The disconnect is especially terrible in the nutritional world. After reporting about the DASH diet study, Gary found that eating a low-sodium diet wouldn’t help lower your blood pressure. Then, Gary decided to start researching the low-fat diet. Gary keeps exploring different aspects of nutrition by shining a flashlight on dark science. [06:50] The Backlash From Gary’s Work Gary found that fat doesn’t make you fat; it’s carbs. After the New York Times ran his story, What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?, there was a massive uproar. Gary even lost a few friends because of the article. People thought Gary made the research up to get a book deal. All sorts of magazines did take-downs of Gary. When Gary’s first book came out, there was still an uproar. People assume that he’s a quack. [20:35] About The Case For Keto Carbs are the reason that you get obese. However, the counterargument is always Asia. These people have lived primarily on rice. The answer is that they are low sugar consumers. After we discovered insulin, people thought they needed carbs to balance the insulin. Insulin and carbs should not be the answer to people with diabetes. Doctors will argue that patients do not want to give up carbs. However, most doctors agree that their patients should not be eating sweets. As keto started to catch on in mainstream media, Gary knew he needed to create a book for people who are trying keto for the first time. For his book, Gary interviewed about 120 doctors from all over the world. [37:35] Being In Ketosis Long-Term Gary interviewed 120 doctors from all over the world; most of them don’t care if people are in ketosis long-term. These doctors are mostly concerned with people getting off of carbs. Ben says that it is healthy to reset the metabolism and work on carb-cycling. [43:45] Why Calories In, Calories Out Is A Terrible Way To Lose Weight You can starve yourself and lose weight – however, you will be starving all of the time, and it’s not sustainable. The idea that people get fat because they overeat is a thin person’s perspective on obesity. However, it’s a tautology. Insulin tells your body to store calories as fat. By the end of the 1960s, it was clear that people who are obese tend to be insulin resistant; carbs stimulate insulin, which tells your body to store fat. Overall, people with obesity don’t respond normally to insulin. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Wendie Trubow. Husband-and-wife team Wendie Trubow and Ed Levitan are physicians and functional medicine practitioners with more than thirty-five years of combined experience in the medical field. Their first functional medicine practice became the largest in the nation during its time. Eight years later, they launched their membership-based wellness organization, Five Journeys, where they focus on the integration of five core areas of health to create comprehensive, individualized wellness plans for their members. Ed and Wendie live in the Boston area with their four kids, two cats, nine chickens, and, of course, their sauna, the newest addition to their family! In this episode, Dr. Wendie opens the show by describing the journey that led to a celiac diagnosis and all sorts of toxin exposures. One of those toxin exposures is from silver amalgam fillings; Dr. Wendie explains the importance of finding the right dentist to help get those removed. We discuss mercury poisoning and why eating certain types of fish can make your exposure even worse. Tune in as we chat about ditching sugar, buying clean products, and enemas as a way to retrain your gut muscles.

She had hair loss, brain fog, anxiety, thyroid issues, heart palpitations, memory issues, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and room-clearing gas. Also, Dr. Wendie had heavy periods and fertility challenges. Dr. Wendie got the diagnosis of celiac. Eventually, Dr. Wendie discovered all these different toxins that were poisoning her body. She wrote Dirty Girl to identify toxins causing chaos and illness in your body. Get it here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09H7SLC6D/benazadi-20 [18:55] Why It’s Important To Find The Right Dentist Living, eating, drinking, brushing your teeth, chewing food, and anything warm will release mercury into your system from silver amalgam fillings. Silver amalgam fillings are so toxic that you can’t throw them in the trash. Instead, you need to dispose of them as toxic waste. Get your fillings removed safely. When you pull out your fillings, it’s hazardous, so you need a dentist who takes it seriously. Find a dentist at IAOMT: https://iaomt.org/. [24:20] If You Don’t Know What An Ingredient Is, Then Don’t Put It In Your Body You can’t assume anything is safe until proven otherwise. Instead, you should presume that anything you can’t pronounce is not safe. Dr. Wendie taught her children that if they can’t read an ingredient, they can’t put it in their bodies. If you don’t know something, then it shouldn’t be in or on your body. [27:40] Mercury Poisoning: How Fish Consumption Is Causing Problems When mercury gets released into the atmosphere and lands in the oceans, it gets converted into methylmercury, which is harmful. Then, fish will ingest the methylmercury. The bigger the fist, the more methylmercury they have ingested. When you're eating these high mercury fish, you're getting more than one serving of mercury. If you’re eating fish regularly, you’re aggregating the exposure. [31:40] About The Holy Trinity and What Role That Plays With People Feeling Sick and Tired The adrenals run the show; it’s the first part of the holy trinity. Attached to the adrenals is the liver. The liver does a tremendous amount of detox work. The liver uses alcohol dehydrogenase and breaks down the alcohol to prevent death from overconsumption. If you drink too much, you will get alcohol poisoning, and your liver can’t keep up. Under stress, your adrenals will tell the liver to stop what it is doing. Most of our stressors are not life or death. However, the body cannot tell the difference. The third part of the holy trinity is the gut. During stress, you will not be digesting food. If the adrenals, liver, or gut are not working correctly, you will not be able to detox. [37:00] The Reasons You Should Stop Eating Sugar All of The Time You want to stop anything that stresses the liver. Sugar will stress the liver. If hormones are improperly balanced, they will strain the liver. Two hundred years ago, our ancestors ate as much sugar in a year, as we eat in a day. The average human

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Risa Groux. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that caused chronic inflammation and a host of other health issues. She became determined to find the root cause to reverse it without medications. With the proper testing and subsequent dietary and supplement treatment, Risa successfully and naturally reversed her symptoms. This inspired Risa to obtain her certification as an autoimmune specialist in addition to her clinical nutrition certification. This enabled her to help her clients focus on the root causes of their health concerns and treat them naturally through diet and supplementation. Risa focuses on foundational issues, including systemic inflammation, gut health, and lab testing to determine root causes. In this episode, Risa speaks about her Hashimoto’s diagnosis and the importance of getting to the root cause. As someone who struggled with thyroid issues, Risa knows exactly what to look for in blood work. She explains which markers are critical to understanding if you have thyroid complications. Then, Risa discusses why she hates the word “diet” and dives into her book, FoodFrame: Diet Is A Four Letter. Tune in as we chat about why you shouldn’t stay in ketosis forever, reversing insulin resistance, and which sweeteners are best for a ketogenic lifestyle.

[00:30] Risa Speaks About Her Background and Finding The Root Cause of Her Autoimmune Disease Risa grew up in a family where everybody was always on a diet. She was fascinated by why some foods are considered good while others are considered bad. At one point, Risa was having fertility issues. She found out that she had a low-functioning thyroid. The doctor gave Risa medication that she was supposed to take for the rest of her life. Eventually, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Risa had no idea why her thyroid was attacking itself. [07:15] What Risa Will Test For When It Comes To Thyroid Issues Risa tests for all nine markers of the thyroid. Then, Risa will help people create T4; it is 93% of the equation. T4 needs to convert to T3; that is your active thyroid hormone, and it’s only 7% of the equation. When Risa tests for hormones, she looks at free and total. Free means it’s usable to the body, and the total is not useable. Plus, Risa will look at reverse T3; it’s when stress hormones could be pulling T3 and reversing it. Also, Risa looks at T3 uptake. It’s when sex hormones can compete with the thyroid. Lastly, Risa looks at TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies. [12:10] Risa Explains What Is Wrong With The Word “Diet” People associate diet with deprivation. We should not be depriving ourselves. If your children are hungry, you feed them. Diet has been marketed as a temporary deprivation for weight loss. In reality, weight loss is a side effect of wellness. Instead, you need to eat real food to lose weight. You shouldn’t care about the numbers on the scale; instead, you should care about the numbers on the blood work. [16:35] Which FoodFrame Is Best For You? Take the FoodFrame Quiz: https://www.risagrouxnutrition.com/diet-quiz The first step is to detox; you need to clean your body. Unfortunately, the FDA has approved 86,000 chemicals for us to use. Sadly, most of them aren’t even tested. We accumulate toxins in what we eat, breathe, and put on our skin. The average female comes in contact with 200 toxins before leaving the bathroom each morning. After you detox, there are six different eating lifestyles to choose from. You need to eat according to your health status. [20:50] You Can Reverse Insulin Resistance By Using Food One out of three children born today will be type two diabetic. Everyone has high blood sugar. We are eating way too many carbs, and we are eating way too often. High blood sugar will bring you into third state inflammation. Risa will look extensively at blood sugars. Remember, insulin resistance is 100% reversible. Risa will use keto for anyone who is diabetic or pre-diabetic. Also, if you have insulin resistance, Risa will suggest keto. Keto is not suitable for people who have fat malabsorption. Risa uses GI-MAP: https://www.diagnosticsolutionslab.com/tests/gi-map [27:50] The Three Sweeteners That Risa Recommends For People Following Keto There are three sweeten

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Morgan Nolte, PT, DPT, Board Certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist (ABPTS) is the founder of Zivli, LLC. She graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2014 and completed the Creighton University Hillcrest Health Systems Geriatric Physical Therapy Residency Program in 2015. Outside of work she loves cheering on the Nebraska Cornhuskers, spending time with her husband, Justin, playing with their kids Dawson and Leah, devouring audiobooks, and being active. In this episode, Dr. Morgan Nolte opens the show by diving into her background and why she is so passionate about disease prevention. Keeping insulin low is one of the most significant ways to prevent disease; Dr. Nolte explains the role of insulin in the body and why having too much of it can wreak havoc on the body. Then, Dr. Nolte speaks about why caloric restriction is not an efficient way to keep weight off; in reality, keeping insulin low is a way to maintain a healthy weight and prevent disease. Tune in as we chat about why intermittent fasting is excellent for your gut, and Dr. Nolte reveals some of her favorite resources for maintaining a healthy mind.

[00:40] Dr. Nolte Speaks About Her Background and The Importance of Disease Prevention Dr. Nolte is a geriatric physical therapist by trade. Plus, she has additional training to be board certified in geriatrics. Dr. Nolte would see people in their sixties who were acting like they were eighty. The care and services that Dr. Nolte would provide seemed like it was too little and too late. Insulin resistance is at the core of all the conditions that Dr. Nolte treats. The longer you hold off making those lifestyle changes, the harder it will be to get healthier. The longer we continue to make poor decisions, the easier those decisions are to maintain. [10:15] The Role of Insulin In Health and Disease Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas. It is a good thing and a vital hormone. Insulin is an anabolic hormone, meaning its role is to build things up. Insulin’s role is to move blood sugar, or blood glucose from your bloodstream, into your cells to be either used as energy right away or to be stored in the form of muscle glycogen, liver glycogen, adipose tissue, or fat tissue. Exercise will reduce blood sugar. You shouldn’t focus on calories. Instead, you should focus on blood sugar for weight loss. When insulin continues to go up, your cells will become resistant to that insulin. Eventually, you will start to see blood sugars go up. Remember, 88% of adults have insulin resistance. If you learn how to live a low insulin lifestyle, you’ll lose weight and prevent disease. [22:50] Your Metabolism Will Slow Down With Chronic Caloric Restriction A fascinating study showed chronic caloric restriction slows your metabolism for six months to four years. When you return to your old eating habits, you’ll gain weight because your metabolism has slowed down. Many doctors don’t have the capacity and the resources to help their patients with nutrition. Overall, we need more proactive measures, and we need to take responsibility for our health. [25:40] Stop Asking This Question: “How Do I Lose Weight?” We are asking the wrong question. We shouldn’t ask, “how do I lose weight?” In reality, you should be asking, “how do I lower insulin?” The quality of the questions you are asking will determine the quality of your life. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, that takes an entirely different approach and mindset. Anyone who has been in the coaching business understands that mindset trumps everything else. If you don’t have the mindset in place, all other strategies will fall short. [27:25] Autosuggestions Can Help You Live A Healthy Lifestyle Here are some books that will help with your mindset: Think and Grow Rich: https://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Rich-Napoleon-Hill/dp/0449214923/benazadi-20 Atomic Habits: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299/benazadi-20 Traction: https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Gino-Wickman-audiobook/dp/B00A9Z973M/benazadi-20 The systems that Dr. Nolte learned to implement in her business are things like being accountable, being productive, and being focused. These are exactly the same sy

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Bronson Dant. He has been coaching and training people in health and fitness for almost 10 years. He started CrossFit around his 40th birthday and quickly fell in love with the variety, community, coaching, and results. It didn’t take long for him to realize that learning more about fitness and becoming a coach was the next path his life was taking. Bronson opened his own CrossFit gym in 2014. As a gym owner, helping people with their overall health and fitness, Bronson developed several programs to improve his client's quality of life and physical freedom consistently and sustainably. In 2018 Bronson discovered the secret to extreme optimization of his metabolic health and performance. Since then, he has designed specific methods to use both nutrition and fitness to radically improve the lives of hundreds of people all over the world. Bronson has numerous certifications and extensive training in health and fitness. He is a frequent guest and subject matter expert on health and fitness podcasts and YouTube channels. He is also a prolific speaker and presenter at health conventions all over the US. First, Bronson talks about how one photo changed his life forever in this episode. Bronson speaks about letting go of something to improve, grow, and make your dreams a reality. Then, Bronson explains how much protein you should be eating and why it’s an essential element to increasing lean muscle mass. Plus, Bronson talks about being a massive fan of the carnivore diet and why animal-based proteins are better for the body. Tune in as we chat about increasing muscle mass, measuring skeletal muscle mass, and how to improve your fitness routines.

Bronson saw his gut hanging out and man boobs; it wasn’t how he pictured himself. At that point, Bronson started to question what he was doing. Eventually, Bronson realized that if you aren’t moving forward, you are moving backward. [05:30] How Bronson Started To Change His Lifestyle First, Bronson stopped eating french fries. He was eating three to four servings of french fries a day. It took a year for Bronson to stop thinking about fries. Plus, Bronson would eat out all of the time. So, he needed to change that habit. [14:30] How To Let Go of Something To Grow and Improve You have to live within who you think you are. If you don’t like where you’re at, you need to change your reality. Make the changes you need to be in the reality you dream about. Overall, you have to let something go in order to move forward. [16:40] Eat More Protein and Build Lean Muscle Mass Bronson recommends reading Keto by Maria Emmerich. Keto: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MYRTGT5/benazadi-20 Protein works completely differently in the body than fat and carbs. There’s a difference between functional calories and fuel calories. Protein will build, whereas carbs and fat will be fuel. Also, Bronson says to check out The P:E Diet: https://pedietbook.com/ You don’t want to have your protein lower than your fuel. Take your lean mass, turn it into grams, and that’s how much protein you want as a minimum, and that’s the maximum that you should have for fat and carbs combined. [21:50] The Difference Between Animal-Based Protein and Plant-Based Protein Animal-based protein is bioavailable; your body needs to be able to use that protein. If you get protein from plants, your body has to do extra work. For example, if you’re getting most of your nutrients from plants, then you need more vitamin C because you’re not getting as much collagen. There’s a bunch of extra work you need to do when you’re getting protein from plants. [28:40] Why Bronson Is A Huge Fan of Living a Carnivore Lifestyle Bronson follows a carnivore diet, but he has butter and eggs. He eats about eight eggs a day. Bronson loves cheese, but it doesn’t love him back. Before Bronson started his health journey, he was lactose intolerant. However, he can now have dairy with no gastric distress. Right now, he eats a lot of lamb, sausage, and eggs. [36:15] Bronson Gives Tips For Increasing Your Muscle Mass First, you need to realize that it doesn’t take a lot. All it takes is

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Catharine Arnston. Catharine Arnston is the Founder and CEO of ENERGYbits® and an expert on the health benefits of algae. Catharine’s passion for algae is contagious. She has been a speaker at hundreds of conferences, podcasts, broadcasts, and national television. Her scientific fluency allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity that it quickly becomes apparent why algae are urgently needed. Algae is the most nutritionally dense food globally, yet it is virtually unknown outside Asia. Catharine’s mission is to change that. In this episode, Catharine opens the show by speaking about the importance of superoxide dismutase (S.O.D.) for clearing free radicals. The highest concentration of S.O.D. is actually in spirulina. Catharine explains how spirulina could be the missing piece to improving the health of your mitochondria. Plus, Catharine speaks about all the other health benefits of algae. Tune in as we chat about using algae as a biohack before red light therapy and how algae can replace your mineral supplements.

For Clearing Free Radicals Spirulina is an effortless way to get the nutrients you need to give you energy. The true energy that you get from spirulina is really at the cellular level. When your cells have energy, you’re getting better digestion, reduced inflammation, more free radicals, and you can think clearer. Inside the mitochondria is a second membrane where ATP production occurs. Virtually no antioxidants can make their way into that inner membrane. There's nothing that can make its way into the inner membrane to get rid of those free radicals except something called S.O.D. The highest concentration of S.O.D. is in spirulina. [13:00] Spirulina Could Be The Missing Piece To Getting The Mitochondria To Function Better Spirulina is called cyanobacterial; they are your mitochondria. Mitochondria in our cells came from the cyanobacteria, effectively spirulina. When you have spirulina, it's like introducing your body to itself. If you look at the shape of spirulina and you look at the mitochondria, they are identical. When you take something identical to your DNA, your body knows what to do. [17:50] How Chlorophyll Can Heal Cellular Damage Inside The Body When you have free radicals, they cause what's called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress will cause cellular damage. With cellular damage, nutrients cannot flow into the cells, and toxins cannot flow out of the cells. So, you will end up with more free radicals inside the cell, causing severe damage. Eventually, this can cause rogue cells, leading to cancer. Chlorella and spirulina are excellent at correcting that because they have the highest chlorophyll concentration in the world. Healthy fats will heal your cell walls. Chlorophyll is a fat-based pigment. [23:25] The Reasons You Should Take Algae Instead of Fish Oil Spirulina is higher in GLA and omegas than fish oil. Fish get their omegas from algae. So cut out the middle man by going straight to the algae. Algae is cleaner, and it doesn’t go any farther down the food chain. Plus, it is already rancid by the time you get fish oil from the store. With Catharine’s algae, you’ll get anti-inflammatory benefits. Also, it never goes rancid, and it never goes bad. [32:30] Does Algae Increase Your Glucose Levels? Algae do not decrease your ketones, and it does not increase your glucose. Catharine has tested it herself with people who have CGM monitors. Algae has been used for decades for people who have diabetes. Catharine’s products are taken by people looking to reverse their diabetes. Unfortunately, we know more about our cell phones than we do our bodies. When something goes wrong, people run to conventional medical sources. Instead, we need to learn how our body functions and what it requires to function at an optimal level. [37:50] You Can’t Have An Iron Overload When Taking Spirulina or Chlorella The nice thing about algae is that it's what's called an adaptogen. It won't be absorbed in your body if

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Courtney Hunt. She attended the University of California at Berkeley for her undergraduate studies and continued her education at Loyola School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. She completed her Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at UCLA. Dr. Hunt practiced obstetrics and gynecology for 15 years before stopping obstetrics to pursue her interest in quantum biology and nutrigenetics or the interaction between our environment and our DNA. Dr. Hunt began investigating the intersection between the physics of light, mitochondria, and DNA to determine the best practices and methods to keep us healthy. She has successfully treated patients with complex and chronic issues, she has developed integrative protocols to address a variety of illnesses that include thyroid and hormone balancing, nutritional genetics, and mitochondrial function assessment. She also believes in the optimization of human potential for the individual, our families, our communities, and society. The mission is love, and when we all learn to heal inflammation one by one that is when we come to work together for the good of humanity. In this episode, Dr. Hunt opens the show by explaining why healing your body through sunlight and nutrition should be more mainstream. Then, Dr. Hunt dives into how the energy from the sun is everything, and it feeds all forms of life on this planet. If you aren’t getting your daily dose of sunlight, your body won’t naturally heal itself. Plus, Dr. Hunt reveals the real reason autism rates are increasing globally. Tune in as we chat about improving vitamin D levels, why we have a mental health crisis, and the importance of lowering inflammation in the brain.

At one point, Dr. Hunt could barely read; she realized that she was losing her cognition. After doing research, Dr. Hunt realized a massive problem with her patients and their nutrition. To solve problems, you have to look at the symptoms and figure out what foods or supplements will help build better cells. [07:10] Energy Is Everything: How The Sun Can Help Heal Your Body The sun in the sky is in thermodynamic equilibrium with Earth. The light in the sun gives us all the energy to grow plants and for the plants to perform photosynthesis. Those plants are cleaning our environment and making oxygen for us to breathe, and we are burning the oxygen as fuel. When you understand electromagnetic radiation, it is frequencies of energy. The energy from the sun is feeding animals, plants, and humans. All information comes from sunlight either, directly or indirectly. [10:20] Should You Go Outside and Get More Sunshine Today? You should be outside no matter where you live. Also, be cognizant of your skin type. Dr. Hunt recommends getting the D Minder App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/d-minder-pro/id547102495 You need just the right amount of sunlight. Don’t scroll on Instagram all day; instead, play with the D Minder App. [15:00] Mitochondria 101: The Mini Suns That Live Inside of Us The mitochondria are our suns within us. They make energy. The mitochondria take information from the sun, food, electrons, and oxygen. Then, they pack up this molecule called ATP, which gives direction to our DNA. [19:30] There Are Over 600,000 Mitochondria Fertilization In One Cell The brain, the eyes, the heart, and the ovaries have the highest concentration of mitochondria. In fact, an egg has 600,000 mitochondria fertilization in one cell. You have to kick start a consciousness in one cell. The night before ovulation, the egg takes 20 billion zinc atoms into it. The egg has more mitochondria than the brain; it’s magic. [21:20] Fertility Rates Are Declining: Here’s What You Can Do Women are getting pregnant older. Fertility is continuing to decline. We are poisoning our eggs and our sperm over generations. There are fewer pregnancies and fewer healthy children. Fertility rates will plummet because of our toxic environment and poor nutrition. You have to find ways to lower insulin. Practice fasting so you can get rid of toxins. [27:50] The Real Reason Autism Rates Are Increasing In Our Population Evolutionarily speaking, the genet

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Steven Gundry. He is a cum laude graduate of Yale University with special honors in Human Biological and Social Evolution. After graduating Alpha Omega Alpha from the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine, Dr. Steven Gundry completed residencies in General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery at the University of Michigan and served as a Clinical Associate at the National Institutes of Health for years. There, he invented devices that reverse the cell death seen in acute heart attacks; variations of these devices subsequently became the Gundry™ Retrograde Cardioplegia Cannula. It has become the world's most widely used device of its kind to protect the heart from damage during open-heart surgery. In 2002, Dr. Gundry met someone who would change the trajectory of his career… and life. He crossed paths with an "inoperable" patient named “Big Ed”. Using a combination of dietary changes and nutraceutical supplements — Big Ed lost weight and cleared most of his arterial blockages. An obese, chronic "diet" failure himself, Dr. Gundry adapted his Yale University thesis to design a diet for himself based on evolutionary genetic coding. On this diet, he lost weight — to the tune of 70 pounds — and reversed his own ailments, such as migraines, pre-diabetic status, and arthritis. He stopped eating sugar, grains, peanuts and cashews, nightshades and other lectin-heavy foods. Having experienced weight loss and the results of eating a lectin-free and gluten-free diet himself, and inspired by growing research involving the NIH’s Human Microbiome Project, his commitment to better health and longevity through a better diet solidified. His work creating nutraceutical products and supplements advanced. He is now the leading expert on the lectin-free lifestyle as the key to reversing disease and healing a leaky gut. Dr. Steven Gundry freely shares his research on how to maintain a healthy microbiome and live a long, vital life via his best-selling books, YouTube channel, Gundry MD blogs, and weekly health podcast, The Dr. Gundry Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Gundry defines ketosis and explains the direct benefit that ketones have on the brain. Plus, Dr. Gundry dives deep into the mitochondria and why they have to uncouple to survive. You’ll find out what the “mito club” is and why calorie restriction is a non-starter, and it simply does not work. Tune in as we chat all about MCT oil, melatonin, and the benefits of sheep and goat dairy.

[00:50] Dr. Gundry Gives His Definition of Ketosis Generating ketone bodies is done by free fatty acids entering the liver from circulation. The liver can convert free fatty acids into ketone bodies. Ketone bodies are short-chain fats that are water-soluble. Ketones have a distinct benefit in getting to the brain, which free fatty acids can't because they're too big to get through the blood-brain barrier. Ketosis should happen every night after about eight hours of not eating if you are metabolically flexible. 50% of ordinary people are not metabolically flexible. [03:50] Uncoupling To Survive: How The Mitochondria Release Pressure Dr. Gundry recommends reading Uncoupling To Survive: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11053672/ When you're starving to death, mitochondria have to save themselves at all costs. If mitochondria die, then it’s all over. Making energy is hard work; it’s very damaging to mitochondria. Mitochondria have to have ways of protecting themselves, and one of the ways they protect themselves is to release pressure. There are five pressure release valves for the mitochondria. We couple oxygen and protons to make ATP. If we uncouple the burning of oxygen from making ATP, that’s how we release pressure. [21:05] The Reason, Most People, Cannot Get Into Ketosis Right Away Most people can not get into ketosis by following a high-fat diet because they lack metabolic flexibility. Many people are insulin resistant. Their cells no longer listen to insulin, so insulin keeps rising and rising. It can take three to four weeks to liberate fat from fat cells on a ketogenic diet because insulin levels stay high for so long. The ketogenic diet came about to treat childhood epilepsy. If you put kids on an MCT oil-based diet, with only about 50% of

[REPLAY EPISODE] Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a THIRD time, a Family Physician, Speaker, and Author, Ken D Berry, MD. Dr. Berry was born in Linden, Tennessee, and grew up in the very small Southern town of Hohenwald, Tennessee. He received a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in Animal Biology and Psychology, from Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 1996. He received his MD from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2000. Dr. Berry has been practicing Family Medicine in rural Tennessee for over a decade. He is board-certified in Family Medicine, and has been awarded the degree of Fellow, by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Having seen over 20,000 patients during his career of all ages, he is uniquely qualified to write on both acute and chronic diseases. More and more, Dr. Berry has focused on the chronic diseases caused by the Standard American Diet and Lifestyle, and has made it his mission to turn the tide on the epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes, chronic inflammation, and dementia. Dr. Berry has four children, 3 dogs, 2 cats and 7 peacocks. He, and his beautiful wife Neisha, live on their farm in Holladay, TN. In this episode, Dr. Berry dives into the causes of chronic, inappropriate inflammation. He tells us about the difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation, why dairy can be the root of your inflammation issues, and he even shares another inflammatory food that might surprise you! Dr. Berry also goes into the carnivore diet and what lab markers are important for inflammation. Lastly, Dr. Berry answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners and tells us about his upcoming projects!

Chronic Inflammation First off, there are good and useful inflammations. Acute inflammation is where you get injured from a sprained ankle, for example, the swelling there is good; it's the first step in healing. Acute inflammation is not what we are talking about today. The enemy; is chronic, inappropriate inflammation. This inflammation is almost always caused by something in your environment getting into your body. It can be caused by something you eat, drink, or chemicals and toxins that you are exposed to in your environment. This leads to chronic inflammation in your body while it is trying to cope with the everyday insult of the toxins. [09:50] Metabolic Health: Inflammation, Obesity, And The Concerns Around Dairy Products Up until about year five, children drink milk regularly and are able to process it well. However, around the age of five, our biochemical machinery starts to shut off the ability to break down lactose. In fact, at least two-thirds of adults are lactose intolerant. This means for most adults, the bovine proteins and amino acids in dairy are inflammatory. As for cheese, some are better than others when it comes to inflammation. Berry explains that the further the cheese has been removed from liquid milk, the less inflammatory in most cases. For example, hard cheeses like parmesan have been fermented for a long time and will cause the least amount of inflammation. A dairy-free month is great to determine if your issues, such as chronic inflammation, gut issues, and trouble losing weight, come from your intake of dairy products. [18:30] Shocking! Another Inflammatory Food That May Surprise You A food that many people think is healthy, but is surprisingly inflammatory, is nuts. Even though nuts are looked at as a healthy snack, they are actually very carb-heavy and can slow down your weight loss. Cutting nuts out of your diet may seem restrictive, but not meeting your goals and being able to do whatever you want to in a day physically is really what is restrictive. A good way to eat nuts is occasionally, not every day. Eating them occasionally is probably fine because it mirrors our ancestors' behavior. [23:23] Why The Carnivore Diet Is Beneficial For Reducing Inflammation The carnivore diet, by definition, is the lowest carbohydrate diet you can eat. It is as close to zero carb as you can get. It also eliminates all the other foods that people could potentially be allergic to, such as the proteins in dairy or the phytochemicals in plants. Berry believes that meat and eggs are the least inflammatory foods on the planet, not including water. Meat is also the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, especially if you add organ meat to your diet. [31:28] Essential Lab Markers To Get When Assessing Your Inflammation For inflammation, good markers to get are CRP, whether it's high sensitivity or cardiac, sed rate and ESR are great. Another is homocysteine, as well as the fe

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Cynthia Thurlow. She is a nurse practitioner, CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness Project, and international speaker, with over 10 million views for her second TEDx talk (Intermittent Fasting: Transformational Technique). With over 20 years’ experience in health and wellness, Cynthia is a globally recognized expert in intermittent fasting and nutritional health, and has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW, Medium, Entrepreneur, and The Megyn Kelly Show. She was listed in Yahoo Finance as one of the, “21 Founders Changing the Way We do Business.” Cynthia hosts the Everyday Wellness podcast, considered one of "21 Podcasts To Expand Your Mind in 2021” by Business Insider. Her mission is to educate women on the benefits of intermittent fasting and overall holistic health and wellness, so they feel empowered to live their most optimal lives. In this episode, Cynthia talks about the 45-day program she developed to help women lose stubborn weight and improve their hormonal health. We talk about some of the health myths circulating for decades. For instance, Cynthia reveals why breakfast is NOT the most important meal of the deal. Plus, Cynthia explains why you should not be snacking all day, every day. Tune in as we talk about the importance of oxytocin, how women should fast depending on their cycle, and how critical sleep is for overall health.

[01:30] About The 45-Day Program for Women to Lose Stubborn Weight, Improve Hormonal Health, and Slow Aging Pre-order Intermittent Fasting Transformation: The 45-Day Program for Women to Lose Stubborn Weight, Improve Hormonal Health, and Slow Aging: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593419316?/benazadi-20 Cynthia found that 60 days was a little too long, and 30 days was not enough. So 45 seemed to be the perfect way to get people to become fat-adapted. This book is a labor of love because Cynthia wants women to have a blueprint for success. Sadly, at least 88.2% of the population is metabolically inflexible. Now is the time to get healthier. [04:10] Health Advice That Isn’t True: Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal of The Day Breakfast is NOT the most important meal of the day. Sadly, breakfast has turned into a dessert; it’s one of the worst ways to start the day. Instead, fast in the morning and allow your body to burn off stored energy. If you want to eat breakfast, start with eggs! Cynthia is a big fan of eggs, bacon, and avocado. Also, you can eat leftovers from the night before. [08:15] Calories In, Calories Out – Does That Really Matter When It Comes To Health? Calories are a measure of energy. You should be more concerned about the choices of macronutrients that you consume. Stop counting calories; start counting your carbohydrates. Start being conscientious about your protein intake and being conscientious about the quality of fats you're consuming. Worrying about calories has done us a tremendous disservice. [11:05] Why It’s A Bad Idea To Snack Throughout The Day Many people still think that you need to eat for meal frequency to stoke your metabolism and keep your blood sugar stable. However, we are better off not evoking an insulin response throughout the day. When we're frequently eating, we are not giving our digestive system time to break down food. Meal frequency can be hugely problematic for people with imbalanced hormones. Our bodies are designed to eat less often. To really optimize our health, we need to follow along with that. [14:15] The Differences Between Brown Fat and White Fat White fat is the typical fat that you think about. There's not a lot of activity; there's a lot of inflammation, cytokines, etc. Brown fat is fat that has mitochondria. There’s a lot more energetic capacity. When you're fasting, you can actually turn white fat into this more metabolically active mitochondrial-rich tissue. We want our fat to be as metabolically active as possible in a positive direction. [16:30] The Freedom That Fasting Can Create In Your Life When you are fat-adapted, you won’t be focused on food. Plus, there is a spiritual side of fasting. Fasting is incorporated into all major religions. On so many levels, there is a lot more to fasting than people think. Fasting will give you a clean slate every day.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Brian Gryn. He is part personal trainer, part golfer, part internet entrepreneur, part author, part health coach and he has a passion for getting the most out of individuals. Through his Integrative Institute of Nutrition education and ten years of group training/coaching, Brian has learned that eating can help the body heal itself. Sometimes it takes small daily changes to make the biggest impact. Brian has never believed in diets or counting calories. Eating whole, real foods makes the most positive impact on the body. His goal is to find what works for you because everybody is unique. In this episode, Brian speaks about getting involved in the health and fitness industry. Then, we jump straight into Brain’s Fat Burner Blueprint. He put together the six most important steps to get results over six months. We chat about each of the six steps: creating clarity and setting your baseline, small changes / big results masterplan, activity upgrade, sleep like a superhero game plan, stress management, and nutrition & meal timing. Tune in as we dive deep into the most common themes that health experts like to talk about on Brian’s podcast Eat Clean, Get Lean.

However, he knew there were missing pieces of the puzzle that could help impact people's health. Brian realized that nutrition and meal timing are huge aspects of health. One of Brian’s clients read The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss (Why Intermittent Fasting Is the Key to Controlling Your Weight). Get your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Obesity-Code-Unlocking-Secrets-Weight-ebook/dp/B01C6D0LCK/benazadi-20 Fasting had a massive impact on his client. Plus, Brian tried fasting himself. The impact that fasting had on Brian’s health really inspired his career in the health and fitness industry. [06:35] Step Number One: Creating Clarity and Set Your Baseline Where are you starting from? Brian likes to use a DEXA scan. A DEXA scan is an imaging test that measures bone density (strength). A lot of people think they can just weigh themselves. However, weight is just a small part of what you should be focusing on. Instead, you want to think about your bone mass, fat mass, and how your clothes are fitting. Next, you want to get crystal clear on your “why.” [11:35] Step Number Two: Small Changes and Big Results Masterplan Identify the low-hanging fruits. What can make the biggest impact right away? People get discouraged if they don’t get small wins. So, focus on some low-hanging fruit that can make a big impact. Then, you can move on to other things that can optimize your health. For example, cutting alcohol can be one of those low-hanging fruits. [13:55] Step Number Three: Activity Upgrade Brian is a huge fan of variable resistance training. He loves the X3 Program. You can learn more about it here: https://www.jaquishbiomedical.com/x3-bar/ You can also start with bodyweight exercises to improve your activity. Plus, if you don’t exercise at all, going outside and taking steps every day is a great way to upgrade your activity. [17:45] Step Number Four: Sleep Like a Superhero Game Plan You should build a simple, manageable routine around sleep. Prioritizing sleep is one of the first steps you should take. If you don’t have a solid sleep routine, you can throw everything else out the window around health. Brian is a fan of WHOOP for tracking his sleep. Learn more about WHOOP here: https://www.whoop.com/experience/sleep/ Ben is a fan of Oura: https://ouraring.com/ [22:05] Step Number Five: Stress Management When people are stressed, they eat. Also, you don’t want to be in fight or flight mode all day. Night meditation is a great way to end the day. Focus on clearing and calming your mind. That way, you will be in a good mindset for your sleep. [27:00] Step Number Six: Nutrition and Meal Timing Clean up your eating and get fat-adapted. Lowering your carbs can help you get off the glucose roller coaster. Down the road, you can cut the number of meals you eat each day. Once you wrap your arms around nutrition, then you can start to look at fasting. [35:20] Which Topics Are Common Among H

Today, I am grateful to have a repeat Keto Kamp guest, a Canadian nephrologist, the world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes, Dr. Jason Fung. He has written three best-selling health books and he co-founded the Intensive Dietary Management program. Dr. Fung graduated from the University of Toronto and completed his residency at the University of California, Los Angeles. He lives and works in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Fung works with Team Diet Doctor. Together we want to make it simple for people to understand and implement intermittent fasting, to improve their health. Below is some of the material with Dr. Fung on Diet Doctor. In this episode, Dr. Jason Fung dives deep into his eye-opening biography of cancer in which he offers a radical new paradigm for understanding cancer. He explains that all cancers develop from our own cells. When four people get the same type of cancer, all four people will have cancer cells that look identical. Then, Dr. Jason touches on the correlations between glucose, bad fats, and cancer. Stay tuned as Dr. Jason answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners, including the benefits of fasting during chemotherapy. NutriSense Continue Glucose Monitor.

We know what causes other diseases or infections. Cancer is the second cause of death in America, yet we don’t know what it is. The way we think about cancer has changed significantly throughout the years. There is an enormous shift in how we see the disease, affecting how we treat the disease. There is a recognition that cancer is actually an obesity-related disease. In 2003, there was convincing evidence about the correlation between cancer and obesity. In fact, it’s a massive part of cancer. Diet turns out to be 30-35% related to cancer causation. Breast cancer and colorectal cancer are the most prominent obesity-related cancers. “Diseases of metabolism are also diseases of growth.” -Dr. Jason Fung [16:15] Every Cancer Develops From Your Own Cells The number of mutations that are required to get cancer far outstrips the rate of mutation. Why does every cancer look exactly the same? People will have identical cancers that develop independently of each other. Cancer is an evolutionary disease. You can take the tools of evolutionary biology and apply them to cancer instead. All the different mutations are not random because they all end up in the same place. It’s not a random chance mutation; it’s a guided mutation. Cancer is not part of your body; it’s foreign. The immune system will attack cancer cells. [25:00] A Seven-Day Water Fast Could Shrink Tumors The research on water fasts is preliminary. A water fast will maximize autophagy. It will put your cells into maintenance mode. When you fast, your insulin will lower as well as your mTOR. Cancer is a tough thing to study because you cannot use preventative treatments once it gets past a certain point. If you want to study prevention, then you need lots of people. [29:00] The Correlation Between Glucose and Cancer Cancer runs on glucose much better than they run on fat. If a cell is trying to grow, then it needs fuel. Some cancer cells can run on protein and fat. Glucose is the most readily available fuel, and it makes the cell run efficiently. If you starve the cell of glucose, then it can change. Before you develop cancer, nutrition can be enough to prevent it. [38:35] How Bad Fats Could Increase Our Chances of Cancer Bad fats could possibly increase our chances of cancer. However, the data isn’t there yet. Anything that increases inflammation is going to create a risk of cancer. Cancer develops from inflammation and chronic damage. Anything that causes chronic damage to the body puts pressure on the body to be in survival mode. [42:50] The Benefits of Metformin If you have type 2 diabetes, then metformin may be better for cancer prevention. Metformin will turn down excessive growth. If you are in growth mode all the time, it’s bad for longevity. You want your metabolic rate to be lower by eating less. [45:30] Getting Too Much Autophagy Too much autophagy is bad and too little autophagy is bad. You want to be somewhere in the middle. You want to maintain a middle ground of autophagy for the most part. When you eat too much, you’ll turn off autophagy. [47:40] How Fasting Can Improve Chemotherapy Chemotherapy will kill cancer cells. Fasting will turn down normal cell growth. Therefore, they will be less susceptible to chemotherapy. Cancer cells cannot turn themselves down as easily. Fasting is safe during chemotherapy. Plus, it is shown that you can handle the chemotherapy better when fasting. AND MUCH MORE!

He lets people see him in a positive light and be positive to others because not doing so is not conducive to growth for anybody. Eating healthy has helped Robert stay positive. At the end of the day, it’s easy for Robert to stay positive because he’s grateful. [03:20] Why Robert Wrote Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete’s Guide to Competitive Savagery Get Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete’s Guide to Competitive Savagery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QZ68MJ7/benazadi-20 This book took Robert two years to write. It’s all the lessons Robert has learned from the last seven years. Overall, it’s a great resource for people who want to improve their composition. [07:20] How To Increase Your Protein During Mealtime If you're trying to build more muscle, you may not benefit from doing an OMAD approach. In a building phase, Robert will eat two or three meals a day. Currently, Robert eats 3,000 calories a day and 220 grams of protein. If Robert had to eat all of that in one meal, he would be miserable. Robert uses My Macros+: https://www.getmymacros.com/ [09:45] What’s The Difference Between Animal-Based and Plant-Based Proteins? Animal-base is just going to be more bioavailable, and it has a better amino acid profile. You can succeed on a plant-based diet. However, you are going to have more supplements. Robert eats a lot of meat and doesn’t have any issues with it. Meat helps Robert streamline and simplify his meal prep. [16:30] How Can You Be A Body Builder Without Any Carbs? Most people didn’t think it was possible to lift hard and heavy on a low-carb diet. Plus, people told Robert that he wasn’t going to have any energy. Well, keto helped Robert improve his relationship with food. Haters will talk smack all day long; Robert doesn’t listen to it. Read Metabolic Characteristics of Keto-Adapted Ultra-Endurance Runners: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0026049515003340 [19:10] Will Eating High Protein Knock You Out of Ketosis? When it comes to bodybuilding and body composition, Robert is not really worried about people having a lot of protein. If you’re eating minimal carbs and you feel great, then you’re obviously functioning on fat and ketones. If your calories are very low, you may want to leave fat higher and decrease protein because fat is great for energy. Don’t leave protein low indefinitely. [21:50] Should You Throw Away Your Scale? How To Track Your Health Robert says, “don’t throw away your scale!” He likes to look at his weight as a data point. Weight doesn’t show the whole picture, but it does show one piece of data. Instead, your composition should be what you measure. Also, take pictures and measurements. [25:50] Why Robert Decided To Develop The Keto Brick Purchase Keto Brick mea

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Shana Hussin. She grew up in Wisconsin, and earned her dietetics degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1999. While very active throughout her entire lifetime, she struggled with weight gain in college, despite following conventional nutrition recommendations and exercising extensively. It took many years to figure out why she was so much bigger then, but the truth revealed itself when Shana discovered hormonal connections between weight gain, and eventually growing sick and fat. Shana has worked in the medical nutrition therapy field for 20 years. Like most dietitians, she recommended strategies to her clients for much of her career that failed them long-term, with little sustainable weight loss. This proved to be frustrating to both practitioner and client. Armed with new knowledge, an open mind, and simple healing concepts, she developed a 5- Step lifestyle improvement program for her clients, resulting in immediate and sustained success. Determined to share correct and effective concepts with as many as she could reach, she started writing. Shana now serves those wanting to learn her teachings with books, digital products, personalized virtual visits, group coaching, Facebook support groups, the Fast To Heal Stories podcast, and her popular 28-Day Finding Nutritional PEACE Group Challenges, which run every season. To learn more about or to sign up for any of her programs, visit fasttoheal.info. Shana and her husband have 3 awesome children and live in Kaukauna, WI. When she is able, she loves reading, running, traveling, sitting in the sunshine, walking with friends, and cheering her children on in whatever they are pursuing. In this episode, Shana opens the show by talking about her son’s ulcerative colitis diagnosis. After months of symptoms, the doctors told Shana to prepare to remove her son’s colon. Luckily, Shana sought help outside of the conventional medical system and healed her son without removing his organs. Then, Shana speaks about when she questioned her traditional training as a dietician. After getting sick, Shana started to heal herself by dialing back carbs, increasing healthy fats, and eating more protein. Tune in as we chat all about her new book, Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance.

[00:45] The Story Behind Shana’s Son and His Ulcerative Colitis Diagnosis One day, Shana’s son got diarrhea; they didn’t think much of it. After weeks, he still had diarrhea. So, they went and got testing, but nothing was coming back. Three months after he started having symptoms, he had a colonoscopy done, and he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. He had lost a bunch of weight and couldn’t keep up with sports at the age of eleven. Later, the doctor said Shana needed to get ready to take his colon out. However, Shana found experts outside of the conventional medicine that helped heal her son. [13:30] Why Shana Started To Question Her Dietician Training Shana was a dietician for ten years before she started questioning things. She told people to eat low fat, mostly plants and whole grains. Ten years in, Shana’s clients weren’t getting any better. After having three children, Shana started to develop her own health problems. Shana had four or five canker sores in her mouth, bloating, and a lack of energy. She knew something in her diet had to be the problem. It took a long time to figure out what was wrong. Shana started fasting, dialing back carbs, and increasing fats. After a few months, Shana was sleeping better, her bloating went away, and her canker sores vanished. [23:25] The Lessons That Shana Talks About In Her Book, Fast To Heal Get Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0874JXVP7/benazadi-20 P stands for Prepare. Prepare your body for fasting. Get the junk out of your system as much as possible. Eat more whole foods and get your carbohydrates down so your body can adapt to ketones. E stands for Extend Your Fast. Stop eating after dinner. Figure out your trigger and remove it. Start pushing your first meal back in the morning. If you like eating in the morning, close your window sooner

The average American consumes 300-400 grams of carbohydrates per day. 88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. How many carbohydrates do you need to eat in order to get into ketosis? 50 grams on average, but you want to gradually get there with this simple rule. Track your carbohydrates and macros with Cronometer. http://www.cronometer.com/ketokamp to download it for free. For example: Day 1: 250 grams of total carbohydrates Day 2: 200 grams of total carbohydrates Day 3: 150 grams of total carbohydrates Day 4: 100 grams of total carbohydrates Day 5: 50 grams of total carbohydrates or less (Ketosis is achieved here!) 04:00 The real cause of the keto flu, and common symptoms on the keto diet. 04:43 The second step, follow the 2/2/2/2 rule. As you drop glucose and insulin levels with the 20% rule of reduction, your body needs dietary fat as an alternative fuel source otherwise your brain will begin to panic and send the body intense signals of cravings. Here's the 2/2/2/2 rule. Every day, consume the following until ketosis is achieved. 2 Tablespoons of olive oil or avocado oil 2 Tablespoons of coconut oil or MCT oil 2 Tablespoons of grass fed butter or ghee 2 Teaspoons of sea salt My favorite salt is from Redmond's.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. William Davis. He provides solutions to health problems by addressing the microbiome, massively disrupted in modern people. He shows readers in his Super Gut book, for instance, how to restore important lost microbes lost such as Lactobacillus reuteri, restored by using a unique method of yogurt fermentation that smooths skin and reduces wrinkles, restores youthful muscle and strength, deepens sleep, reduces appetite and provides many other youth-preserving and anti-aging effects. In Super Gut and in his website, www.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com, he provides additional do-it-yourself-at-home strategies for benefits such as improved mood, improved athletic performance, better sleep, heightened immunity, and improved body composition. Dr. William Davis is also responsible for exposing the incredible nutritional blunder made by "official" health agencies: Eat more "healthy whole grains." The wheat of today is different from the wheat of 1960, thanks to extensive genetics manipulations introduced to increase yield-per-acre. Eliminating wheat yields results beyond everyone's expectations: substantial weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from inflammatory diseases like arthritis, better mood, reduced blood sugar with many type 2 diabetics being freed of insulin and other drugs, all articulated through his Wheat Belly series of books. He is also a champion of individual self-directed health, as discussed in his Undoctored book. Dr. Davis lives what he preaches, not having indulged in a wheat-containing bagel, ciabatta, or pretzel in many years, while consuming various fermentation products that yield unexpected health benefits. Dr. Davis lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In this episode, Dr. Davis speaks about the inspiration behind The Wheat Belly lifestyle. Then, Dr. Davis dives into how modern life in America is messing with our microbiome. Many people think that probiotics will solve all their gut problems; however, Dr. Davis explains the issues with the commercial probiotic industry. Plus, Dr. Davis explains why you shouldn't cut fat when it comes to gallstones. Tune in as we chat about supplements, the best microbiome tests, and how metabolic endotoxemia initiates insulin resistance.

[00:30] The Inspiration Behind The Wheat Belly Lifestyle Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. So, Dr. Davis created the Wheat Belly lifestyle. Basically, Dr. Davis dared to write an against-the-grain book exposing "healthy whole grains" for the incredibly destructive genetic monster they've become. Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what truly makes Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this harmful ingredient. Learn more about Wheat Belly here: https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/wheat-belly/ [04:20] How Modern Life In America Is Messing With Our Microbiome With each successive generation, the microbiome gets worse and worse and worse. In the US, most people by age 40 have taken 30 courses of antibiotics. There are 800 prescriptions for antibiotics written every year for every 1,000 people. Yes, many people do need antibiotics for certain situations. However, 30-50% of all antibiotics that are dispensed have no benefit to the recipient. [15:05] The Many Problems With Commercial Probiotics There are a lot of problems with the current crop of commercial probiotics. For instance, most probiotics don’t specify strength. Plus, many probiotics don’t tell you what strain you are taking. Failing to specify strain is a major problem. Some companies are doing double encapsulation because they've been fooled into believing that probiotics should survive untouched until it gets to the colon. One in three people has a proliferation of unhealthy stool microbes in the small bowel. So, you don’t want your probiotics to be double encapsulated. That way, it can be released into the small bowel. [20:45] Why You Shouldn’t Cut Your Fat When It Comes To Gallstones People think that fat causes gallstone. However, fat does not cause gallstones. General surgeons are guilty of telling people to cut their fat when taking out a gallbladder. When you cut fat, your gallbladder will store bile instead of squeezing it out. People who

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Sutton. She earned her Bachelors of Science in Microbiology, Anatomy, and Health and Wellness from Texas State University and Parker University. She earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University. She was drawn to health care because of her extensive personal health struggles, which includes being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 16. Her interests lie in helping her patients prevent health problems, and assisting them in becoming as healthy and pain-free as possible without the use of drugs or surgery. She is focused on diagnosing and correcting the underlying problem rather than masking the symptoms. She currently lives and practices in Dallas, Texas with her loving husband and daughter. In this episode, Dr. Sutton talks about her Chron’s disease diagnosis and getting to the bottom of the root cause. Then, we jump into homocysteine and what your optimal range should be. Dr. Sutton explains the difference between the genes you are born with and epigenetics. Plus, Dr. Sutton talks all about APOE and its correlation with Alzheimer’s disease. Tune in as we chat about getting quality sleep, how fasting can help with head injuries, and what to do after getting your genetic test results. 23andMe Genetic Testing: https://refer.23andme.com/s/ben4 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

[00:45] Finding The Root Cause of Chron’s Disease Instead of Treating Symptoms At 16, Dr. Sutton was diagnosed with Chron’s disease. The doctors diagnosed her by removing part of Dr. Sutton’s small intestine. Unfortunately, they never told her anything about diet or lifestyle. Eventually, Dr. Sutton figured out that certain foods would cause a problem. Dr. Sutton put herself on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet. [07:40] About Homocysteine and Your Optimal Range Homocysteine is this amino acid that we all have. If you have too much, it's a problem. If you do not have enough, it's a problem. Unfortunately, the range on lab work is way too large. You should be in the six to eight range. If you’re above an eight on homocysteine, you are high. This means you have some cardiovascular damage, and it will increase your risk for dementia-related issues. [12:10] The Difference Between The Genes We're Born With and Epigenetics The genes you are born with are the cards that you are dealt. You can’t change the genes that you are born with. Epigenetics is how your environment is going to influence those chains. You can do something about pretty much every genetic situation. [16:15] The Correlation Between APOE Genes and Alzheimer’s Disease The APOE3 gene is most common. About 75% of people have that; it is considered neutral as far as Alzheimer's disease goes. If you have the APOE4 gene, you are at an increased risk for Alzheimer’s. APOE2 is pretty rare; only five percent of the population has it. APOE2 is protected against Alzheimer’s disease. [19:35] Preventing Alzheimer’s Disease: Eating Right For Your APOE4 Gene APOE4 genotypes are at an increased risk for atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis can accelerate dementia and Alzheimer's disease. If you have APOE4, you should eat a Mediterranean-type diet. Intermittent fasting is really good for people with APOE4. If you eat earlier in the day and finish eating earlier in the day, you may have better results. [23:40] The Importance of Quality Sleep When It Comes To Your Health The top priority is to fix your sleep. If you aren’t getting good sleep, then you can’t handle anything else. Everything is so much easier if you have the energy to do it. So, if you’re not sleeping through the night, that’s something you need to fix as soon as possible. Everything will be more difficult if you are not getting quality sleep. [28:50] After Getting Your Genetic Test, Check Out Genetic Detoxification There are a lot of different genetic tests on the market. 23andMe is very common. Learn more about 23andMe here: https://refer.23andme.com/s/ben4 If you get 23andMe done, Dr. Sutton says you can create a genetic detoxification report from her website. Check out her website, Genetic Detoxification: https://geneticdetoxification.com/ [31:40] When You’re Fasting, Your Body Will Repair Itself Much Faster If you have the APOE4 gene, you will have more damage from head injuries.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Robbie Bent. In an effort to affect positive change and address the problem of loneliness and the detrimental effects it has on our individual and collective health, Robbie built a platform that includes physical spaces, a mobile app, a concert tour and a global community. Othership is a digital product to shift your state whenever and wherever you are. Robbie’s app consists of over 250 guided breathwork classes to harness the power of the breath and build promoting habits. A transformative tool that makes up-regulating, down-regulating, and everything in between easeful, effective, and fun. He also goes on tour with live musical breathwork performances, sort of like a Cirque Du Soleil journey inward. In this episode, Robbie speaks about his rock bottom and what he had to do to turn his life around. He talks about the importance of meditation and what it’s like to meditate for ten hours a day for ten days. Then, Robbie dives into breathwork and how breathing can completely change your state. If you’re looking for a free and easy biohack, breathing can be a simple way to improve your health.

One hundred people were working for him, his parents and friends had invested millions of dollars, and his entire income was tied up. The company failed, and Robbie had to fire one hundred people. Robbie sold his car, moved out of his apartment, and moved back in with his parents. Plus, Robbie was struggling with addiction. After reading The 4-hour Workweek, Robbie turned his life around. Get The 4-hour Workweek here: https://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-Live-Anywhere/dp/0307465357/benazadi-20 [08:00] What It Is Like To Meditate Ten Hours A Day For Ten Days It doesn't really matter how much you've been practicing; the difficulty of meditating for ten hours is still the same. After the first few days, you start to ease into the routine. We are always turned on, and we are never bored. How often are you just sitting? Almost never. So, meditating is a nice way to interrupt your routine. [10:55] How Breath-Control Can Change Your State and Heart Rate The breath controls our autonomic nervous system. When you're naturally calm, you will breathe slower. You can actually use your breath to trigger your state. If you need energy in the morning, try sympathetic breathing. Parasympathetic breathing will help you relax. The best way to get into the parasympathetic nervous system is by lengthening the exhale and including breath retention. A big breath in will increase the heart rate and energy. If you are nervous, you need long and slow exhales. [18:00] All About Othership And Finding Peak Experiences A peak experience can happen through breathwork. Othership will help shift your state and quiet the thinking mind. During Covid, Robbie created fear release sessions. The app was created to help people who are struggling with meditation. Plus, there’s a physical space where Robbie has created a community to solve the loneliness pandemic. [23:25] How Doing Breathwork Can Help You Digest Food Better When you do slow breathing, you’re triggering the parasympathetic state. You will be sending blood flow from the brain and muscles to the organs. That way, you are preparing your body for digestion. Also, eat without looking at your phone. The best thing you can do is be aware while you’re eating. [26:30] Why You Should Practice Breathwork Before Going To Sleep If you eat something acidic before bed, it can affect sleep. Your body needs to regulate its pH balance. As a result, it starts over breathing This can cause dehydration in the evening. If you wake up with a dry mouth, you are mouth breathing. Something you can try is mouth tape. Meditation and breathwork before bed can help with inflammation, breathing patterns, sleep, and dehydration. [29:45] How Breathing Can Replace Caffeine and Increase Blood Flow The “up” section in Othership is creating a fight or flight response. T

Today, I have here with me Prof. Brian Peskin, a world-leading scientist specializing in parent EFAs — termed PEOs — and their direct relationship to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and wound care (both traumatic and chronic). Brian has always had one goal – to help people — regardless of personal sacrifice. But despite his integrity, Brian has suffered a lot of criticism and even slander as a reward for his hard work. Brian is not alone. Many other health researchers have also spoken the truth and were chastised for it. Brian’s great genius is “connecting the dots” between established sciences that usually remain separated, and coupling his findings with real-life results. He combines theory with practicality in a very unique way. Even though Brian does not always take credit for the science he has studied – he is often only the messenger of the information already published in leading medical textbooks and medical journals — he has also been called a “quack. Brian attended the world’s leading engineering institution, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he studied highly complex mathematics, engineering and physics, along with probability and statistics. He has also studied biochemistry and physiology. Brian’s various fields of study give him a unique systems perspective when applied to health and nutrition. Electrical engineering is an exact science. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Richard Johnson. He is a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado and is a clinician, educator, and researcher. He is board-certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases, and kidney disease and is the founding editor of Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology, one of the main textbooks on kidney disease. For more than 20 years, he has led research on the cause of obesity and diabetes, with a special interest in the role of sugar (especially fructose) and uric acid. His research has been highly cited, published in top medical journals, and supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health. He is the author of The Sugar Fix and The Fat Switch. Dr. Johnson lives in Colorado with his wife, kids, and two rambunctious puppies. Read Nature Wants Us To Be Fat: https://www.amazon.com/Nature-Wants-Fat-Prevent-Reverse-ebook/dp/B097XMY9VG/benazadi-20 In this episode, Dr. Johnson talks about the inspiration behind his uric acid research. He speaks about the correlation between uric acid, fructose, sugar, and inflammation. Plus, he explains why your body would be producing excess uric acid. Later, we discuss why the keto lifestyle is so powerful and the reason burning calories isn’t the purpose behind exercise. Tune in as we dive into the benefits of the ketogenic lifestyle and Dr. Johnson’s latest book, Nature Wants Us To Be Fat. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

[01:00] About Dr. Johnson and The Inspiration Behind His Research Johnson started studying high blood pressure because it’s such a problem in our country. High blood pressure has something to do with the kidneys and salt. A substance called uric acid seems to be important in what causes high blood pressure. As he studied uric acid, he started to realize it was more than just high blood pressure and gout. Uric acid is actually involved in obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Eventually, he found that fructose led to an increase in uric acid. [04:20] What Is The Connection Between High Uric Acid and Inflammation? Our body is made up of protein, carbohydrates, fat, bone, etc. Uric acid is considered a waste product. When we eat meats, drink beer, and eat sugar, these foods can generate uric acid. Uric acid is what is excreted from the body. If uric acid is built up, it can lead to inflammation and gout. 9 million people in the United States suffer from gout. A lot of people have low-grade inflammation in their blood. This inflammation can accelerate diseases like atherosclerosis and heart disease. [09:10] Why Is Your Body Producing Excess Uric Acid? If your uric acid is very high, it increases your risk for mortality. Plus, uric acid is being linked to cancer. Uric acid is involved in the process to make fat. When you eat enough fructose, it triggers uric acid. The body switches from making a lot of ATP to storing the energy in fat. Uric acid is actually important in survival. Humans are very sensitive to fructose. Fructose is in table sugar and high fructose table sugar. [24:20] Why The Keto Lifestyle Is So Powerful Our bodies can make fructose. Potatoes and rice do not contain fructose, but they contain what we call high glycemic carbs, it triggers this response in your body to make fructose. You will start making fructose in response to these carbs. That's why carbs are driving obesity dramatically. The keto diet is powerful because it blocks these two major food groups: fructose and high glycemic carbs. [29:30] The Benefits You Get From Exercise When you exercise, you do things that help the mitochondria regenerate. If the mitochondria regenerate, they can go back to normal. When the function of the mitochondria improves, your energy improves. You can diet all you want, but if your mitochondria are bad, you will also go back to your original weight. When you’re young and gain weight, you can lose it much easier. [38:55] One of the Many Benefits of A Ketogenic Lifestyle When you eat sugar, you have to absorb the sugar. The ability to absorb sugar varies from person to person. If you're eating sugar every day, you're going to absorb the sugar very fast. When you put an animal on a high sugar diet, it will learn how to absorb it fast and absorb it very efficiently. If you don't eat sugar, those transport systems to

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Ashley Lucas. She is the owner, founder and advisory consultant for PHD Weight Loss and Nutrition. She has over 15 years of education in the field of nutrition and metabolism. In her mid 20s, she retired from her professional ballet career. While understanding the importance nutrition played on her own sport performance, she went on to earn her PhD in Sports Nutrition and Chronic Disease from Virginia Tech. Her research throughout her six-year post-graduate doctoral training, focused on energy metabolism and the Female Athlete Triad. She was awarded the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Scholarship and completed her dietetic internship at The Ohio State University. She passed the national examination registering her as a dietitian offering expert food, wellness and nutrition services. Dr. Lucas is a nationally renowned speaker, columnist, and leading expert in the field of weight management and behavior change. Through a scientific method that focuses not only on the metabolic consequences of fat gain, but also on the behavioral and psychological aspects, she created and continues to innovate the PHD Approach which has helped thousands of people nationwide achieve their peak wellness once and for all. In this episode, Dr. Lucas discusses the inspiration behind her studies in what happens to our bodies when we continually undereat. Then, Dr. Lucas explains how burning sugar is just like constantly stuffing wood into a fireplace. Plus, Dr. Lucas talks about visceral fat and how it can prevent you from reaching your ideal health goals. Tune in as we chat about the importance of mindset on your health journey, finding mindfulness to make the best meal choices and all about the PHD Weight Loss Program. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

[00:40] The Inspiration Behind Studying What Happens To The Body When We Undereat Lucas had some challenging times while training as a classical ballet dancer. She struggled to make her body do what it needed to do. As a result, Dr. Lucas had major stress fractures in her back and had stress fractures in her feet. To be healthy, Dr. Lucas would eat five grams of fat a day. After going to a doctor, she found out that she was over-exercising and not eating enough. Eventually, Dr. Lucas earned her Ph.D. in sports nutrition and chronic disease. She wanted to study what happens to the body when we undereat. [08:30] How Burning Sugar Is Like A Wood Fireplace Generally, we are carbohydrate or sugar burners. Carb burners are like wood-burning fireplaces. You constantly have to stuff wood in it, so it doesn’t burn out. When people have to eat every three hours, they are running out of sugar to keep their energy up. Fat-burning is like a propane tank; it can go for hours or maybe days. Every cell in the body prefers to burn fat for its fuel. [13:15] What Exactly Is Visceral Fat and What You Need To Know About It Visceral fat isn’t something you can see or pinch. Visceral fat actually fills up in the organs. This fat really gets in the liver. Visceral fat grows its own blood vessels, and it starts to secrete its own hormones. The number one goal of visceral fat is to grow larger. This type of fat will wake you up in the middle of the night and send you to the fridge to eat something. It secretes aromatase, which increases the risk for breast cancer significantly. Overall, visceral fat messes with every aspect of our bodies. [20:30] How To Stop Your Yo-Yo Dieting Habits The first thing you need to do is to recognize why the yo-yo is happening. When you start to lose weight, you will feel better. However, you will still have excess fat that's active and metabolically working against you. When you have that excess fat, your risk of weight regain is really high. You need to understand the importance of fully collapsing the fat mass and getting the body truly where it needs to be. As we age, we're not supposed to get fatter. We actually tolerate fat less because fat is toxic. The next step is to get accountability and get support.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Bruce Lipton. He is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences. Dr. Lipton has taken his award-winning medical school lectures to the public and is currently a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop presenter. He lectures to conventional and complementary medical professionals and lay audiences about leading-edge science and how it dovetails with mind-body medicine and spiritual principles. He has been heartened by anecdotal reports from hundreds of former audience members who have improved their spiritual, physical and mental wellbeing by applying the principles he discusses in his lectures. He is regarded as one of the leading voices of the new biology. In this episode, Dr. Bruce Lipton explains the basics of what stem cells are and why they are so important in gene expression research. Dr. Lipton also emphasizes the importance of understanding that our cell receptors can pick up energy vibrations and how our cells use that information to send signals to our brains! Last but not least, Dr. Lipton discusses how stress hormones are stealing energy from our bodies and how we can reprogram our minds to limit these stressors through the fundamentals of habit changing. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com [02:05] The Basics of Stem Cells & Signals From The Environment Many of the cells in our body are embryonic cells, meaning they can replace any piece that was just lost. They can become brain, skin, muscle, bone, whatever is needed. However, we can't call a cell in an adult human an embryonic cell. So we changed the name to the stem cell. The idea that the general population holds is that genes turn on and off and, in the process, control the expression of our cells. Lipton, however, found while cloning stem cells that taking genetically identical cells and putting them in different environments made the cells show an expression that fit that environment. This shows that the expression of cells is not controlled by genes but by signals from the environment. [16:54] How Energy Frequencies And Our Cell Receptors Intertwine Cell receptors are like antennas that receive signals. Conventional people would say that receptors only respond to physical things like pharmaceutical drugs. Lipton explains that these receptors actually pick up energy vibrations. Receptors pick up signals from the environment and adjust the body accordingly to live in that environment. [19:50] How Our Frequencies Communicate With DNA to Produce Proteins When we see something we love, our brain translates that into complementary chemistry. When we are in love, dopamine is released by the brain, goes into the blood, goes into the cells, and engages them in a pleasurable sensation. Oxytocin is also released when you are feeling love. It sends the signal to your brain to bond with whatever you are feeling love towards. These love hormones promote growth and vitality. Likewise, when we see something that scares us, chemicals are also released. But on the other hand, the chemicals released when we are scared do not promote growth; they instead use that energy to get the body ready to run away. [24:16] How Stress Hormones Steal From Your Body Stress hormones cause the body to shut down the energy used in growth and maintenance, the immune system, and the system's intelligence. The immune system uses a great deal of energy; however, when the body is introduced to stress hormones, it takes energy away from the immune system and gives that energy to get the body ready for stressful situations. When this system was designed, it was helpful because, if a tiger was chasing you, after 10 minutes and you used all of your energy and escaped, you could go back to growth and health again. In today's world, however, stress is involved in so many parts of our everyday lives that we are releasing stress hormones all day, and our body is not able to maintain itself. [33:08] Knowledge Is The Key To Reprogramming The Mind The lack of knowledge is the lack of power. Big pharmaceutical companies have systematically deprived people of knowledge. We must find a balance in this world where even if someone has a different opinion, it isn't censored out of the people’s view. [42:59] DNA Is A Blueprint And The Mind Is An Architect DNA can be thought of as a blueprint used to make the proteins that are the body's building blocks. This means that instead of the popular idea that genes can turn themselves on and off, they are actually just read or not read. Lipton shares that this is important because the reader of this blueprint is the brain and the mind. So as you change your perception of the world,

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Shayne Morris. He has unique and broad experiences, for over 30 years, in the nutritional industry and scientific community. Trained first in the ways of natural product sourcing, quality, design and manufacturing which, quickly led to the pursuit of a formal education in chemistry, microbiology, and finally a Ph.D. in molecular biology and biochemistry. Passionate about owning a business in the industry, Dr. Shayne Morris also earned a Master’s in Business degree. He is an adjunct professor in chemistry at WSU and is a Certified Nutrition Specialist in the American College of Nutrition. Dr. Shayne Morris has authored a number of peer-reviewed journal articles, scientific abstracts, talks and patents in the areas of biological chemistry, natural products and product development. Recent significant research is focused on our microbiome and the probiotic potential of unique human microbes. As part of Dr. Shayne Morris’ research his lab has developed unique growing and stabilizing methods for important commensal organisms like Bacteroides, Akkermansia, beneficial phage and more. Not only are personalized microbes important the nature of their food and metabolites are equally important to the microbiome as a whole and the human symbiosis. Therefore, prebiotic research has become an inseparable component of the probiotic research and in some cases more impactful than probiotics alone. In this episode, Dr. Shayne Morris opens the show by discussing how he became invested in the microbiome. Ketosis is fantastic for the microbiome; Dr. Morris explains what benefits are taking place in the gut when you’re burning ketones. We have 10 trillion cells in the human body, and each has its own job; Dr. Morris reveals how you can help your cells complete their job as efficiently as possible.

[01:10] How Dr. Shayne Morris Got Involved In The Health Space When Dr. Morris got into the health space, there was very little hard science on the miraculous nature of how herbs work. To learn more, Dr. Morris buried himself into the educational side and went after microbiological degrees along with biochemical degrees. It wasn't until the 2000s that we identified the importance of microbes. Remember, we're a human built from about 10 trillion cells. Now, Dr. Morris has a research lab on the microbiome and develops products to improve the microbiome. [08:50] Why Dr. Shayne Morris Is Such A Big Fan of Keto One of the most brilliant aspects of adapting to keto is for people that are struggling with metabolic issues. Every organ in the body can utilize ketones. Ketones can really change the way that mitochondria work. Plus, ketones can affect the oxidative stress that cells are under. On a cellular level, ketones offer so much benefit in terms of their energy production. Lastly, we're genetically predesigned to store fats. [17:20] We Have 10 Trillion Cells, and Each Cell Has Its Own Job We are a complex of 10 trillion cells. Each cell has its own job. For instance, the cells in the eye behave very differently than the cells in the brain. Each and every one of those cells has a very specific set of duties. For a cell to do its job, it needs energy! Overall, we want to generate more positive genetic outcomes on the cellular level. [24:40] How Your Gut Affects Your Whole Body There’s a complexity of color that we see in nature. When you eat different compounds, you are feeding the microbiome. We have to think about the microbiome as the gateway to all the things we need in our bodies. Our gut, anatomically, is the largest immune system. Plus, it is the largest innervated system outside of the brain. The gut controls everything. Your microbiome is what's directing all of the traffic in the body. [30:15] Why Burning Sugar Is Producing More Cellular Inflammation When you look at burning sugar, there's a time and a place. Burning sugar is a quick way to release energy. When you eat sugar, it should come from plants. Sugar and flour are not good sources of carbs. Burning sugar can generate free radicals. When you're flooding the mitochondria with just sugar, it gets overwhelmed. All th

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Temple Stewart. She is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and Health Behavior Change Specialist. Temple played D1 soccer at the University of Tennessee Martin, which is where she received a degree in Dietetics. She completed an internship at the VA Medical Center in Bay Pines, FL. Temple currently works and lives in St. Petersburg, FL with her husband and their two poodles, Axel and Rowdie. Throughout college Temple developed a very unhealthy relationship with food and began using food rules or diets as punishment or for comfort. This behavior propelled Temple into learning all she could about food and how impacts our bodies, ultimately making her choose to become a Registered Dietitian. Throughout the process, Temple began to learn how to eat for health and how to develop a healthy relationship with food. Along the road, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), furthermore increasing her interest in treating the body with nutrition. In this episode, Temple talks about her journey to health and reversing the symptoms of both PCOS and Hashimotos. As a trained dietitian, Temple reveals why her education around food wasn’t exactly the best information. Plus, Temple dives into her favorite health hacks, including the carnivore diet, intermittent fasting, carb cycling, and lab work. Tune in as we chat about how much protein you should be eating, how keto will help with fertility, and tips for asking your doctor about prescribing a CGM. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

[02:15] Temple Speaks About Her Journey To Health In college, Temple was losing hair, and she was gaining weight rapidly. Plus, she had no menstrual cycles. When she went to the doctor, they put her on birth control. After moving to Florida to become a dietitian, Temple’s health worsened. Temple was doing exactly what they taught her in dietitian school: eat less, move more, more vegetables, and less fat. Eventually, Temple was diagnosed with both PCOS and Hashimotos. [06:10] How Temple Realized Her Dietitian Training Was Garbage Temple read The Obesity Code: https://www.amazon.com/The-Obesity-Code-Dr-Jason-Fung-audiobook/dp/B01MRKEO0U/benazadi-20 After reading The Obesity Code, she went down a rabbit hole with tons of other resources. She started helping patients in the hospital lower their carbs. Temple did a research study; every single person got off their medications and lost weight after lowering their carbs. [08:30] It Took Three Months For Temple To Reverse Her Hashimoto’s Symptoms Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is essentially an autoimmune disease. A lot of times, Hashimoto’s and PCOS go hand-in-hand. Keto can be so helpful because it takes away a lot of the triggers of the immune system. Through nutrition, Temple was able to get rid of all her symptoms. [16:00] If You’re Starting To Change Your Diet, Try Carnivore Everyone can benefit from a carnivore lifestyle. A lot of people are suffering from something and don't realize it until they go carnivore. If you want to get into ketosis quickly, try carnivore for a couple of days. People who are hitting plateaus can definitely benefit from a carnivore diet. [16:55] Insulin Resistance Is Actually Weight Loss Resistance What's causing the weight to stay on your body could be due to insulin. There are people who have tried every diet in the book. For the most part, people end up lowering calories. However, nothing will work when insulin resistance is up. Weight loss is typically a symptom; it usually comes after you heal your body. [18:45] Strategies For Overcoming A Keto Weight Loss Stall A lot of times, carb cycling can be effective. Complex carbs can help women depending on where they are in their cycle. Temple will also suggest switching up your intermittent fasting routine. The same thing goes for exercise – sometimes you are doing too much! Plus, don’t forget to look at your sleep and your stress. Lastly, you may need to get labs and see what’s going on with your hormones. [21:30] Why Temple Loves To Implement Intermittent Fasting Intermittent fasting is great for weight loss, aging, and protecting the brain. Many people do well fasting for 16-hours and having an 8-hour eating window. A 72 hour fast done quarterly c

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, author of New York Times bestseller The Bulletproof Diet, a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent two decades and more than one million dollars to hack his own biology, Dave Asprey. Dave lost 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, used techniques to upgrade his brain and lift his IQ by 20 points, and lowered his biological age while learning to sleep more efficiently in less time. Learning to do these seemingly impossible things transformed him into a better entrepreneur, a better husband, and a better father. Through his work Dave provides information, techniques and keys to taking control of and improving your biochemistry, your body and your mind so they work in unison, helping you execute at levels far beyond what you’d expect, without burning out, getting sick, or allowing stress to control your decisions. In this episode, Dave Asprey explains why simply not eating carbs isn’t enough to lose weight and keep the weight off. Dave reveals why we need to eat the rights fats. Whenever you eat something, there are three things you need to think about: will this food be used as a building block, will this food be used as a fuel, and what toxins does the food have? Plus, Dave describes why we need to stop eating overcooked foods and the reasons we should be more concerned with the quality of our ingredients in the foods we eat.

The keto cookies are made with gluten – they are causing inflammation! If you are not in ketosis some of the time, you will not live to 180. On the Bulletproof diet, people have lost 1,000,000 pounds. Not eating carbs doesn’t work 100% of the time. [04:50] Why We Need To Eat The Right Fats What are our cell membranes made of? Well, it depends where they are found in the body. Look at everything you eat from three different lenses: Is it going to be used as a building block? Is it going to be used as a fuel? What toxins does it have in it? What percentage of your body are carbs? Less than one percent. You do not need carbs as a building block. There is about a two-year half-life of fat in the body. When you eat good fats, it will take two years to make your cell membranes functioning. Saturated fats are awesome because they do not break easily, and they are stable. We have demonized saturated fats. However, 45% of our cell membrane fat is saturated fats. The only fat your body can make is saturated fat. Our brains need these saturated fats. Monounsaturated fats fill in the big building blocks. Omega-3s and omega-6s will be the lubricants. [12:45] Think About Quality Ingredients People will try and put anything in the keto category. It’s a problem. The quality of the ingredients matter. The reason grass-fed butter is such a big thing is because the fatty acid ratios are different. Animal fat is so precious – that’s why Dave raises his own animals. Part of the keto message has to be “don’t eat industrial meat.” It will WRECK your ketosis. Short-ribs from a grass-fed cow are covered in fat. It is a religious experience. Eat less meat and spend more on it if that what it takes to eat grass-fed meat. Half of your fat calories should be saturated. [18:50] Stop Overcooking Your Foods Overcooked food is rough on your liver. When you eat heavily charred meat, you’ll feel bad. It doesn’t matter if it’s delicious; it matters how you will feel when it’s done. Parts of our cells will act as incinerators. They burn our proteins and digest them. Overcooked foods will clog them up. If you keep shoveling them in there, then there is no mechanism to clean them up. Do not eat smoked foods! AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Alexandra Sowa. As the daughter of a hand surgeon, Dr. Alexandra Sowa was exposed to medicine at a young age. She loved how her father could transform people’s lives by giving them back the use of their hands. Check out SoWell: https://lddy.no/13m4s Use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off your entire order. In her internal medicine residency, she saw that same sort of transformation for patients who lost weight and drastically improved their health. Once she knew weight loss medicine was a specialization she could pursue, she never considered anything else. Now Dr. Sowa is a board-certified physician of Internal Medicine, specializing in preventive health, nutrition and obesity medicine. Through her New York City practice, she has helped thousands of patients lose weight and live healthier lives. Dr. Sowa also holds an appointment as a Clinical Instructor in Medicine at the New York University School of Medicine. Outside of her practice, she enjoys communicating health messages to the public through print and television. She has published original articles on health-related topics in publications like The Atlantic, NPR, Slate Magazine and the New York Daily News. She has also served as an on-air health expert for national media outlets like Fox News, CBS News, NPR, and The Doctors. Her medical opinions have been featured in print publications, from the New York Times to U.S. News and World Report to Glamour and Parents Magazine. She is a regular weight-loss expert on SiriusXM radio. She is passionate about optimizing health through food. You can often find her making healthy meals (and a mess!) for her husband and two young sons in the kitchen. In this episode, Dr. Sowa talks about how she got involved in the health space and her passion for preventing metabolic dysfunction. Unfortunately, 88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible; however, Dr. Sowa says there are easy ways to reverse that. Plus, Dr. Sowa talks about the importance of data and your optimal markers. Tune in as we chat about supplements, intermittent fasting, and the importance of quality sleep. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

[00:40] Why Dr. Sowa Got Involved In The Health Space Even before Dr. Sowa went to college, she had discovered the field of public health. Plus, the idea of prevention always was very attractive to her. Sowa always wondered why doctors want to treat the disease if they could prevent it. At college, she really started to understand a holistic view of what it means to be healthy. Eventually, Dr. Sowa realized a lot of problems in health boils down to metabolic dysfunction. [04:40] Why Are 88% of Americans Metabolically Inflexible? So, Dr. Sowa says the solution is actually pretty straightforward. You can reverse type 2 diabetes; again, it is reversible! Many people think a low-carb and high-fat diet will give you a heart attack or a stroke; that’s simply not true. The three macronutrients are carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Out of those three macronutrients, carbohydrates will spike glucose and insulin the most. It makes total sense that we should eat more protein and fat to reverse high insulin. [16:45] What Is An Optimal Range For Fasting Insulin? Optimal is usually under five. Even up to eight is okay for fasting insulin. Anything higher than eight means your body is making too much insulin in response to carbohydrates. When Dr. Sowa does bloodwork, she’s looking for metabolic syndrome. Plus, Dr. Sowa wants to look for vitamin deficiencies. Learn more about the kits that Dr. Sowa offers here: https://lddy.no/13m4s Use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off your entire order. [20:50] How Often Should Someone Retest Their Markers? You should test once a quarter. If you are embarking on a new lifestyle change, Dr. Sowa says to test right away. That way, you have the data. Once you start eating keto, then you can see what improves. Your markers are a better victory than what you see on the scale. [24:20] How Dr. Sowa Wants To Help People With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome PCOS is a disease of insulin resistance in the majority of cases. For years, the medical community has gone about treating this in the wrong way. Up to 50% of women with PCOS will go on to develop type two diabetes by the time they're 40.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Abby Durlewanger. Abby started the Ketogenic lifestyle in 2017 after doing just about every other diet. She was consistently losing weight and then would gain it right back on the weekend. She found it hard to stick other diets because she was always hungry and having cheat meals. She thought she could exercise the pounds away. After weeks of research she finally decided to give Keto a try, but vowed it would only be for 6 weeks. After week 1 and the surge of energy, focus, and results she saw, she was hooked! Abby has lost over 130 lbs and 145 inches. She went from a size 20 to a size 2. From a size 4x to a size Small. While Abby is very passionate about the Ketogenic lifestyle she credits all of her success to the revelation God gave her about stewarding her body. She was able to acknowledge she has a food addiction and was using food to cope with trauma from childhood, depression, and anxiety. It was when she was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression after the birth of her son that she was at her lowest point in life. Feeling suicidal and lost, she had an encounter with her savior, Jesus Christ that changed everything. She now stands firm against her addiction knowing that self-control and discipline is a fruit of the spirit and the more time she spends with God, the better it gets and that “anything that we put before God is out of order, including food.” She now spends her time sharing her family’s faith, ketogenic lifestyle, and helping others get freedom from food addiction. While she loves helping people through her business, she is fully confident that it is not a meal plan or grocery list that is helping people. It is the power of her testimony and encouragement of others to place God first to allow him to meet their needs instead of reliance on “comfort foods.” In this episode, Abby Durlewanger opens up about her journey to health and wellness. She speaks about the inspiration behind House of Keto and why she decided to do a 41-day water fast. Abby explains the reason you may be overeating dietary fat on keto and how you can start using your own body fat instead. Plus, Abby opens up about the spiritual and mental healing that happened to her while fasting. Tune in as we chat about feeding your kids a ketogenic diet and all the 2022 events where you can see Abby talk more about her story. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

[00:45] Abby Speaks About Her Journey To Health and Wellness When Abby decided to lose weight, she would work out, eat fewer calories, and eat a high-carb diet. However, Abby felt hungry all of the time, and she needed food constantly. Abby’s trainer said to try a keto lifestyle. Within the first week of keto, Abby already felt better. Instead of experiencing the keto flu, Abby felt a surge of energy. For the first time in Abby’s life, she forgot to eat breakfast! She naturally started incorporating fasting into her lifestyle. [06:30] Instead of Eating Dietary Fat, Use Your Body Fat People think that you need to consume a lot of fats in order to be keto. However, the metabolic state of ketosis is not synonymous with weight loss. It’s possible to be in ketosis and gain weight. What are your goals? That will determine what you need to do. If you’re trying to put on muscle, then you’re someone that needs to eat more fat. Children will also need to eat more fat on the ketogenic diet. If you are overweight, the fat from your diet can come from your stored body fat. [11:00] Why Abby Decided To Do A 41-Day Water Fast About two and a half years ago, Abby got diagnosed with a rare breast disease. It looks like breast cancer, acts like breast cancer, and is treated like breast cancer. At the time of her diagnosis, less than 1,000 women in America had this disease. Basically, no one knew what they were looking at, and no one knew what they were doing. They wanted to treat Abby as though she was a cancer patient, but they could not find a cancer cell. Abby was in the worst pain that she had ever been in her entire life. What Abby had was something called idiopathic granuloma mastitis. Eventually, Abby decided to do a water fast to let her body heal itself. Luckily, Abby was able to avoid chemo and avoid getting her breasts removed. [27:20] The Physical and Spiritual Healing

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Michael Collins. He has been completely sugar-free for over 30 years. The 8th Annual Quit Sugar Summit! January 24 - 30, 2022. Register for FREE: https://quitsugarsummit.com?afmc=bv He is past Chairman of the Board of a Food Addiction Institute and current board member, a 501(c) non-profit, that helps raise awareness about processed food and sugar worldwide and is the founder of Sugarfreeman.com, which has been helping thousands successfully quit sugar for over nine years. Michael and his wife raised two children sugar-free from the womb to six years of age. For over 30 years, Michael has worked closely with others to help them regain lives ravaged by various substance use disorders. In this episode, Michael talks about all the reasons why he decided to go entirely sugar-free for over thirty years. He explains why many people are reluctant to call sugar a real addiction. Then, Michael reveals what exactly is going on in the brain when we eat sugar and what happens when we stop eating sugar. Tune in as Michael gives tips for starting a keto lifestyle in the new year, and we chat all about the upcoming Quit Sugar Summit.

When he got sober, he started to use sugar instead of drugs and alcohol. Flour and sugar were just the staples of his diet. One day, Michael read a book called Sugar Blues by William Dufty. You can check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Blues-William-Dufty/dp/0446343129/benazadi-20 Eventually, he started putting out his own information about sugar addiction on the internet. [12:00] Why People Don’t Recognize Sugar As An Addiction People are going blind and losing limbs because of sugar addiction. Some people biochemically cannot ingest sugar. 95% of all people that lose any amount of weight gain it all back and then some in the first year. The word addiction is still stigmatized. So many people are not willing to consider sugar addiction a real thing. [24:00] What Exactly Is Happening In The Brain When We Eat Sugar All of the brain reward chemicals are affected by sugar. In fact, they are manually manipulated by sugar. When you stop eating sugar, your dopamine receptors will be thinned out. If you have a sweet tooth craving, you are looking for a dopamine hit. You can give sugar to a one-year-old, and there are no ethical worries. If you have high-stress events in your day-to-day, maybe you eat sugar as a response. Then it’s time to remove the stressful situation so you can ditch the sugar. [37:15] Caffeine Use Disorder Is Accepted By The Medical Community Caffeine use disorder is actually in the DSM. The medical establishment has seen what happens when people overuse caffeine. So, we still have to fight for people who have sugar use disorder. Science is catching up around sugar addiction, and hopefully, people can get the help they need from the medical community. [41:20] Tips For Making The Transition To Keto In 2022 Keto is going to be hard for about seven to ten days. Most likely, you are not going to feel well. If you have a sugar addiction, you are going to be lethargic, and you are going to be depressed. This is normal because your dopamine is finally getting a rest. However, in the long run, you will have a better mood, you’ll sleep better, and you’ll be able to focus more. [50:15] All About The Quit Sugar Summit 2022 The 8th Annual Quit Sugar Summit is coming up in 2022. It goes through January 24 – 30, 2022. You’ll hear from some amazing speakers like Dr. David Perlmutter, Dr. Richard Johnson, Dr. Nicole Avena, Bitten Jonsson, Cristy “Code Red” Nickel, Ben Azadi, and much more! The diet industry is a $70 billion industry, and no one believes it. At the summit, people are selling nothing. Instead, they are just bringing information to people that need it.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Patrick McKeown. World-renowned author and breathing practitioner Patrick McKeown was educated at Trinity College in Dublin, before completing his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. This training was accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko. From a young age, Patrick suffered from asthma and relied on an array of medicines and inhalers until he discovered the Buteyko Method at the age of 26, experiencing immediate relief from his symptoms. By applying the principals of the Buteyko Method, Patrick remains asthma-free since then, a feat that over 20 years of medication had failed to accomplish. In a career spanning 15 years, Patrick has since also become a bestselling author and expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health, wellbeing, and fitness. In this episode, Patrick talks about how crowded teeth can be a problem for breathing. Then, we discuss the main issues that can develop with chronic mouth breathers. Patrick dives into exactly how we should be breathing through our noses and the relaxation effect that will take place with proper inhales and exhales. Tune in as Patrick reveals why he highly recommends taping your mouth before bed. Plus, Patrick recommends the best resources to learn more about breathing exercises and guidelines. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

[00:30] How Patrick Started Practicing Slow Breathing and Light Breathing After reading articles in the newspaper, Patrick learned how to clear his nasal passages and breathe through his nose. He started to practice slow breathing and light breathing. Through breathing, he was able to influence the temperature of his fingers. Learn more about Patrick by reading his book Atomic Focus: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Focus-Resilience-Breathing-Exercises-ebook/dp/B09D9ZL9HL/benazadi-20 [07:15] The Problem With Crowded Teeth and Breathing If the teeth are crowded, your jaw is too small. If your jaw is too small, there’s not enough room for the tongue. So, the tongue is more likely to encroach the airway. When your airway is compromised, you may get disordered breathing during sleep. A palate expander is something that can be useful to improve breathing. [16:40] The Problems That Can Develop With Chronic Mouth Breathing Yawning excessively can be a clue to mouth breathing. Whenever Patrick works with a student, he tries to switch them from mouth breathing to nose breathing as much as possible. He also works on functional breathing patterns. Light breathing helps ensure the blood chemistry is normal. You’re more likely to breathe light through your nose. By changing our breathing patterns, we can stimulate the vagus nerve. [21:55] Patrick Explains How You Should Breathe Through Your Nose Bring your attention to your breathing. Slow down your inhale, and have a slow, gentle exhalation. When you need to breathe in, take in a gentle inhalation. At the end of the inhalation, bring a feeling of relaxation to the body. When you do this correctly, you will feel air hunger. As you do this for two to three minutes, check the saliva in your mouth. Normally, it increases. When the human body undergoes stress, the mouth goes dry. While on the other hand, when we slow down our breathing, we should have more saliva in the mouth. [38:40] Why Patrick Recommends Mouth Tape Before Sleep Mouth tape can bring you so many benefits. 50% of people wake up with a dry mouth in the morning. Breathing through your mouth at night can wreak havoc on your dental health. Mouth breathing will cause more sleep disruptions. Breathing through the nose will make it so you don’t have to wake up as much in the middle of the night. MYOTAPE will gently restore functional breathing for better sleep, better health, and better quality of life. You can learn more about MYOTAPE here: https://myotape.com/ [49:00] Resources To Check Out That Patrick Recommends Patrick highly recommends reading his book, THE BREATHING CURE: Develop New Habits for a Healthier, Happier, and Longer Life.

Megan Ramos comes back to the Keto Kamp Podcast to discuss all things insulin resistance & diabetes. Keto Challenge Recordings: https://kka.mykajabi.com/offers/UxThDWSJ/checkout About Megan Ramos Megan Ramos is the CEO and co-founder of the Intensive Dietary Management (IDM) Program, clinical educator, and researcher, Megan Ramos. Megan’s major role in the IDM Program is to facilitate the patient’s education on the IDM dietary principles and counsel them on their fasting regimens. Megan, along with her colleague Dr. Jason Fung, believe that both what you eat and when you eat matter. The IDM Program utilizes therapeutic fasting and time restricted eating protocols with their patients to help them reverse their type 2 diabetes and achieve sustainable weight-loss. They encourage their patients to eat real foods and adopt a low-carb lifestyle in addition to the fasting. You Can Be Metabolically Unhealthy But Look Skinny There are two different types of fat: subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat is the fat that we are self-conscious of at the beach. It sits between our abdominal wall and our abdominal cavity. This type of fat doesn't exactly go into our organs or infiltrate our organs; it's unsightly, and if we accumulate more of it, it puts us at risk for disease. The secondary type of fat, visceral fat, is a real sneaky bugger. It sits under the abdominal cavity. Plus, this type of fat wraps around your organs and infiltrates into your organs. You can have a lot of visceral fat and still be skinny. The scale doesn't tell us what our body is made up of. Is Insulin Bad For You? Too much of anything good for you is bad for you. Not having enough insulin, that's a problem, or having too much insulin too, is also a problem. Sadly, mainstream medicine doesn't understand the definition of too much insulin. Megan says that there is a time and a place for insulin injections for certain people. However, most people are eating a diet that's highly processed and full of refined sugars and fats. Plus, we're eating all of the time; so, we're making our body produce lots of insulin over time. For North Americans, our constant state is to produce insulin all the time. Our cells will develop resistance. Remember, absence makes the heart grow stronger. Why Megan Loves a Low Carb Approach You don't want to keep adding fuel to the fire; dietary choices are essential. When you're eating low carbs, you're not adding more fuel to the fire, and you're giving your body a chance to burn off some of that fire. When someone already has insulin resistance, insulin resistance causes the body to produce insulin. If you are constantly eating all day long, then insulin is being leaked into the body all day long. Intermittent fasting will help break the cycle of insulin resistance because you will be suffocating the fire. Overall, the body is impressive, and you have to remove the interferences. The Reason You Want Variation For Fasting You don't want to slip into this one meal-a-day pattern consistently because the body will adapt. You want to keep confusing the body and changing it up; that way, the body won't adapt. It's great to mix things up! Our primary hunger hormone is ghrelin, and when men and women both start fasting, we see a drop in ghrelin. Then men's ghrelin tends just to go up and down, and it stays relatively consistent. However, women will see an initial drop; it will continue to decline more than their male counterparts. Many women feel like they're constantly putting out this enormous fire when doing alternate daily fasting. They would instead rather get into a fast and stay there. If you want to stay in a fast, you can! However, you need to cut out the snacks and reduce problematic foods.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Saladino. He is the leading authority on the science and application of the carnivore diet. He has used this diet to reverse autoimmunity, chronic inflammation and mental health issues in hundreds of patients, many of whom had been told their conditions were untreatable. In addition to his personal podcast, Fundamental Health, he can be found featured on numerous podcasts including The Minimalists, The Model Health Show, Bulletproof Radio, The Dr. Gundry Podcast, The Ben Greenfield Podcast, Dr. Mercola, Health Theory, Mark Bell’s Power Project, and many others. He has also appeared on The Doctors TV show and will release his first book in 2020 titled, “The Carnivore Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Optimal Health by Returning to our Ancestral Diet.” In this episode, Dr. Paul Saladino first speaks about his appearance on the Doctors and how it was a complete hit job. Then, Dr. Saladino reveals the reason he started incorporating more carbohydrates into his diet. We talk about why insulin resistance isn’t the best term to describe what is going on with people’s health. Later, we dive into the importance of lowering your linolic acid intake. Tune in as we chat about omega-3s, why Dr. Paul doesn’t eat any vegetables, and if there is a connection between eating meat and colon cancer.

Plus, they had a vegan doctor to argue against Dr. Paul. There was a lot of yelling, and Dr. Paul was barely given a chance to say what he needed to say. Paul invited them to his podcast to have an honest and genuine debate. None of them showed up.

Eventually, Dr. Paul was getting a lot of muscle cramps, and he was getting heart palpitations at night. So, Dr. Paul started to reintroduce carbohydrates into his diet. First, he started to introduce honey into his lifestyle. After incorporating honey, Dr. Paul started to feel better. Blood sugar will spike when you include carbohydrates in your diet, especially honey. However, Dr. Paul’s blood glucose tracing was very low. [22:50] Why Dr. Paul Doesn’t Like The Term Insulin Resistance Paul doesn’t like the term insulin resistance. He thinks metabolic dysfunction is a more precise term. He doesn't like to say insulin resistance because two types of insulin resistance are often confused and conflated. The first type of insulin resistance is physiologic insulin resistance. Humans have evolved a state known as ketosis, which goes hand in hand with physiologic insulin resistance. Then, there is pathological insulin resistance. Many people who exclude carbohydrates will see improvements in their physiology. [34:50] The Importance of Decreasing The Amount of Linoleic Acid In Your Diet Many people should decrease the amount of linoleic acid in their diet. We have to understand how much linoleic acid is in the foods we eat as humans. Soybean oil has 45 to 50% linoleic acid. Butter and tallow, which has rendered animal fat from cows, will have much lower levels of linoleic acid, around 2%. The composition of our cell membranes takes a long time to change. So, breaking down the linoleic acid will take a great deal of time. A low carbohydrate approach will help lower the linoleic acid in your diet. [40:00] What Happens When We Consume Too Much Linoleic Acid When we eat more linoleic acid, we can find more oxidized LDL. The oxidation and the instability of linoleic acid is one of the problems. There could be some potentially hormonal roles for linoleic acid that are negative as well. The underlying thing to consider here is an evolutionarily appropriate diet for humans. We consume much more linoleic acid than we ever have. [47:25] Should You Be Taking Fish Oils on The Ketogenic Diet? Fish oil spoils extremely fast. These oil
