[01:00] It's Important To Prioritize Your Sleep So You Can Win The Day During sleep, your body and your mind will repair. Also, during sleep, your body will store hormones and burn fat. Sleep will let you make better decisions for the next day. When you're sleep-deprived, your ability to make good decisions goes out the window. REM sleep is recharging your brain, and it allows us to make good decisions. When the prefrontal cortex is energized and refreshed, we can make great choices throughout the day. [05:10] Mental Health: What Role Does Sleep Play? If you have ever been chronically sleep-deprived, you know how mentally terrible you feel. When we are not taking care of our mental health, it leads us back to making poor decisions. A lack of sleep can make us irritable, angry, frustrated, and even lead to road rage. Also, with a lack of sleep, your reaction time gets decreased. [11:20] What Is REM Sleep and How Much Do I Need? There are so many factors that go into how much REM sleep you need. 20% – 25% of your sleep should be deep, and the same goes for REM. Sleep is dynamic. You need to figure out how much REM sleep is optimal for you. If you wake up and you feel refreshed, mentally and physically, that's a good sign that you're getting enough REM sleep. [15:00] Why Do We Sleep, Anyway? It’s Great For Your Physical Body! Sleep helps with physical restoration. Growth hormones are released throughout the night. Sleep deprivation will actually impact the man’s testicle size. Devin recommends reading Why We Sleep: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y649387/benazadi-20 Deep sleep happens during the first quarter of the night. During deep sleep, your body is cleaning the cells. When you're not getting enough sleep, that throws off your insulin which leads to food cravings and food addiction. [18:30] You’re Not Getting Quality Sleep. That’s A Problem For Your Cortisol. Cortisol naturally should be highest in the morning. When you’re not getting enough sleep, your cortisol levels will stay high. If you’re not getting quality sleep, hormones are dysregulated. Then, your blood sugar will go all over the place. So, you crave sugar! When glucose goes up, ketones go down. [21:20] Caffeine’s Surprising Connection To Sleep Problems Caffeine blocks the adenosine receptors. The more caffeine you drink, the less you are letting your body rest. Caffeine gets in the way of getting quality sleep. When you’re not getting quality sleep, you’re in sleep debt. Plus, caffeine will dysregulate your circadian rhythm. People metabolize caffeine at

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Amanda Nighbert. She is a registered dietitian specializing in weight loss nutrition, a fitness enthusiast, and a working mom of two. Amanda is passionate about motivating, supporting, and educating people to meet their wellness goals. She has worked in weight loss for the past 19 years, helping thousands of people reach their wellness goals. Amanda is so excited to have the opportunity to work with even more people via her online programs. She is an avid reader and feels that the science behind weight loss, diet, and nutrition is constantly changing. This rapid change can create confusion and frustration with the average person trying to be successful at weight loss. Amanda's goal is to bring the latest, cutting-edge strategies and techniques to her clients in the most concise and educational manner. Amanda is a strong believer that dieting is temporary, something you start and stop. Therefore it is more important to focus on lifestyle changes to see long-term weight loss success truly. Amanda's goal is to teach her clients simple yet effective lifestyle changes they can make and easily sustain to see lasting results. Success does not have to be about perfection but rather more consistency. She believes in implementing strategies that work in the real world, with real people who lead real, hectic, and often crazy lives. First, Amanda speaks about why eating a fat-free diet doesn't work and how following that trend almost landed her on statins. Then, Amanda dives into the number one reason why dieters will always fail. We also talk about why intermittent fasting is excellent for weight loss. Eating before bedtime can be ruining your progress; so, Amanda gives tips on how to curb your late-night eating habits. Tune in as we chat about the importance of metabolic flexibility and why you're not losing weight from the advice of your registered dietician.

[00:30] Low-Fat Diets: Why Eating A Fat-Free Diet Doesn’t Work As a registered dietitian, Amanda was living and breathing the “heart-healthy diet.” Amanda thought she was doing everything right. She ate low-fat, whole grains, and no eggs. Her weight was healthy. Yet, her cholesterol was over 300. The doctor prescribed Amanda statins at the age of 32. Instead, Amanda wanted to try and fix the problem on her own. So Amanda read the book The Great Cholesterol Myth: Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease-and the Statin-Free Plan That Will. You can find a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Cholesterol-Myth-Disease-Statin-Free/dp/1592335217/benazadi-20 She realized that reducing inflammation would improve her numbers. After six months, she got her numbers under 200. [07:35] The Number One Reason Why Dieters Fail The number one reason why people fail is the all-or-nothing mindset. We feel like we have to be perfect to make progress. How to break your all-or-nothing mindset: Practice progress over perfection. Learn the power of resetting immediately. Always do something. When someone can’t do it all, then they choose to do nothing. Instead of trying to do it all, pick one thing to focus on for the week to come. [14:00] Intermittent Fasting and Why Amanda Loves It For Weight Loss Breakfast is not actually the most important meal of the day. It took Amanda ten years of being a dietitian to realize that. There are actual physiological processes in the body that help us thrive in a fasted state. It’s effortless to be an intuitive eater. Time-restricted eating is not a diet. It’s not about what you eat. Instead, it’s all about when you eat. Amanda loves intermittent fasting because it’s flexible. You don’t have to fast every single day. Lastly, fasting is free, and it doesn’t cost you any money! [18:00] Fasting Before Bed: Tips To Stop Your Late Night Eating Habits Drink herbal tea in the evening. Non-caloric beverages are also okay to drink before bed. You can also adjust your eating window. If you prefer to eat more in the evening, then eat less in the morning. Start with a 12 hour fast, then ease your way into a 16 hour fast. [20:20] We Eat Way Too Much! Eat Until You’re Full and Lose Weight For some reason, people want to graze all day long. The reason you are ea

Today, I am blessed to have a repeat guest, Canadian clinical researcher, and expert on therapeutic fasting and low carbohydrate diets, guiding more than 10,000 people worldwide, Megan Ramos. Passionate about overcoming her own health hurdles through diet and lifestyle modifications, she co-founded the Fasting Method(www.fastingmethod.com) and The Fasting Method. Megan was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) at age 12, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) at age 14, and type 2 diabetes (DMII) at age 27. She reversed these metabolic conditions and achieve an 86-pound weight loss by incorporating intermittent fasting with a low carb diet, and is now passionate about helping others do the same. Megan lives in Toronto, Canada. She is a director of the nonprofit organization Public Health Collaboration Canada (PHC Canada), works on the editorial board of the Journal of Insulin Resistance and Team Diet Doctor. In this episode, Megan Ramos explains how you should start fasting and why you need to stop snacking. Ghrelin is our hunger hormone – just like our other hormones, it fluctuates throughout the day. Megan reveals some creative ways that you can ride out the ghrelin hunger wave. Plus, we get into common health complaints and side effects. Megan touches on why you may be bloated during a fast, why you may experience diarrhea during a fast, or why you may be constipated. Stay tuned as we talk keto breath and the importance of hydration.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Troy Casey. Leading Longevity Authority, Troy Casey, Certified Health Nut, is a world renowned life coach and healer who has scoured the Earth searching for for the most powerful health and healing methods. He devoted his life to restoring the planet from a young age. Troy even spent over 8 years living and working with the indigenous tribes in the Amazon RainForest, as not only a healer but also as a medicine hunter, utilizing some of the world’s most most sacred plants. Troy has also studied Vipassana Meditation techniques, Ashtanga Yoga and more recently at the world famous CHEK Institute, working closely with Paul Chek. Troy has lectured and taught throughout the world, appearing on numerous television shows, news programs, international documentaries and in many books around the world. This is due to his ability to successfully restore physical, mental and emotional balance to clients who have failed with all other systems. His vision for clean, air, water, soil and equitable systems for all mankind in his lifetime drives his passionate work for personal and planetary wellness. By watching, listening and following Troy’s methods, you will be able to truly dominate all of your goals at the highest level. In this episode, Troy talks about how he became a certified health nut. Then, Troy jumps right into his favorite tools for overall health and physical wellness. First, it’s critical to find some sort of plant medicine that will get you out of your head and blast open your consciousness. Once you can think beyond your programming, then you can start to rethink everything you thought you knew about nutrition. Tune in as we chat about the importance of rotating your diet, why you need to ‘innercise,’ and the inspiration behind Troy’s book, Ripped At 50.

[00:25] How Troy Became A Certified Health Nut Troy got really into the juicing world. He would drink beets, celery, lots of greens, dandelion, and kale. Now, Troy doesn’t drink juice as much. Instead, he uses dehydrated powers to get nutrients throughout the day. Troy was introduced to an herbal company from the Amazon; they were selling some of the most powerful plant substances that you can take into your body. He became a huge advocate of these plants and their unique phytochemistry. He experienced great vitality from these plants; so, he went down to the Amazon to conduct research. Troy continues to go after his own spiritual evolution using holistic tools. [09:30] The Best Tools For Overall Health and Physical Wellness Ayahuasca and psychedelics are extremely handy for people who are asleep to their reality. Find something that can blast open the consciousness so that you can go beyond your programming. Once you have experienced these powerful plant medicines, then it’s time to dive into nutrition. Only 4% to 6% of the food in the world is produced organically. So, producing organic food will be your best bet to finding health. You can’t outrun a poor diet. Get as much information about how you can properly feed yourself in this modern world. [16:15] Variety Is The Spice of Life When It Comes To Keto Foods Rotation was built into the hunter-gatherer development of our digestive tract. It takes 72 hours for animal proteins to go through the digestive tract. You need lots of fat to digest meat. Whereas white chicken breast can be hard to digest. It’s important to rotate what you’re eating. For instance, switch from eating chicken eggs to duck eggs every now and then. If you get constipated, then try drinking beet, celery, green apple, and ginger juice. Sometimes, the juice isn’t enough to reset your system. When this happens, Troy does a dry fast for eighteen hours. When we eat different foods, it creates more diversity in the gut. The more diversity you have, the healthier you're going to be. [27:30] The Inspiration Behind Troy’s Book, Ripped At 50 Troy wanted to write the book Ripped At 50 because he wanted to get back to the fundamental principles of life. Plus, he wanted to speak about his purpose as a human being. Once you know what your heart desires, then it can dictate your holistic program. The world doesn’t need another diet and lifestyle book. So, in Troy’s b

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Kristina Hess. Kristina is a premier health coach and licensed dietitian/nutritionist who works with clients to support them in making lifestyle changes that produce real and lasting results. Kristina has a master’s degree in clinical nutrition and Integrative Health from MUIH - Maryland University for Integrative Health and several certifications in areas ranging from Mindful Eating, Heartmath,to Ericksonian Hypnosis to Sport Nutrition. Kristina received her health coach certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Kristina's integrative and functional approach is an arm within the Functional Medicine model of the IFM. Functional Medicine views us all as being different; genetically and biochemically unique. A functional approach is deeply science based and views everything that happens within us as a connected network or web of relationships. Kristina's private practice in Connecticut is called Thrive Results Coaching. In this episode, Kristina explains what health complications come from insulin resistance and the Standard American Diet. If you’re a sugar burner, Kristina describes what you need to start doing right away in order to turn your health around. One of the first things you need to do is start testing critical health markers. Kristina reveals which health markers are essential and which brands she recommends to her clients.

[01:15] Complications From Insulin Resistance and The Standard American Diet It can take 15 to 20 years to develop insulin resistance. Parents don’t want to take food away from their kids like macaroni, pizza, and chicken nuggets. Kids will start metabolically flexible and can get away with eating anything. However, it won’t last forever. If you still want to buy chips, then Kristina will suggest buying chips with cleaner ingredients. Instead of buying Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, try a pint of Rebel ice cream. The most common contributing factors leading to insulin resistance are lifestyle issues like nutrition. If we ate real food, then we wouldn’t develop insulin resistance in the first place. Processed food is speeding our way to insulin resistance. [06:10] Are You A Sugar Burner? Here’s What You Need To Do Now There are three things we can do when we are trying to get well: Time Restriction: how often you’re eating and when you are eating. It’s critical to stop eating before bedtime. Caloric Restriction: if you’re going to eat garbage, then eat less of it. Dietary Restriction: take something out of your diet that is not healthy for you. It will be a vast improvement from the Standard American Diet. If you want results, try all three of these steps. 76% of the world population does not have the genetic adaptation for LCT. You should consider cutting out dairy; cow dairy is inflammatory for most humans. If you have skin issues, headaches, and extra flatulence, then dairy could be the problem. [11:50] The Importance of Testing For Glucose Values and Ketones Values If you are extremely insulin resistant, there is hope if you’re willing to put in the work. There are two different companies that Kristina recommends for her clients: Keto Mojo: https://keto-mojo.com/ Biosense: https://mybiosense.com/ Keto Mojo allows you to test ketones and blood sugar. Plus, they provide your GKI. People should test every single day, especially in the beginning. That way, you can learn which foods are taking you out of ketosis. Plus, by testing, you can learn how many carbohydrates that you can tolerate. Some people can stay in ketosis at 50 total carbs or 75 total carbs. Everyone has their own carb tolerance. [18:50] What Is Nutrigenomics? It Might Be The Future of How You Eat The Human Genome Project was a project that spanned many years. Human DNA was mapped out to correlate to different nutrients and hormones. APOE4 is an old gene, and it conferred a lot of health benefits. One of the benefits was fertility in cold weather. Plus, APOE4 correlates to neuronal health in the brain and also to cholesterol production. Unfortunately, today’s diet doesn’t correlate to that old gene. Our diet causes a lot of inflammation. If you have

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Nick Pineault. He is the author of one of the best-rated EMF book worldwide — The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs — and is a sought-after voice on safe technologies who was featured on more than 100 online and offline media outlets in the last 3 years alone. Nick’s efforts to spread EMF awareness through a common sense and even humorous approach has received accolades from top functional medicine doctors, engineers, and top EMF scientists like Professor Olle Johansson from Sweden. In this episode, Nick Pineault opens the show by explaining why he started to research the hazards of electromagnetic field radiation. Nick wants to help people discover the truth about electro-pollution, health impacts, and how to protect your family from EMF hazards. We talk about the massive increase in EMF exposure and whether or not you need to be worried. Nick explains ways to protect yourself from EMFs without breaking the bank and the hidden dangers of cell tower proximity.

After doing research, Nick found that cell phone radiation could contribute to cancer. Everyone is using more and more wireless technology. EMF radiation is one of the fastest-growing environmental exposures. You have multiple types of EMFs and frequencies; no one really understands it. We're being exposed to this agent at levels that are unprecedented. [08:45] How Much EMF Exposure Has Increased Since The 1950s EMF exposure has increased a quintillion times since the 1950s. A quintillion is 18 zeros after a one. Exposure intensity is tremendously higher than the background, ancestral levels. Scientists are wondering this question: what are the safe levels of EMFs that human beings should be exposed to? The reality is that we don’t know. We don’t have a control group that has not been exposed. Society is moving towards more connectivity, whereas science is moving towards more danger when it comes to EMFs. [14:00] Pandemic Screen Time: Are Blue Light Glasses Actually Helping? People argue that blue light glasses do something; they block certain frequencies of blue. Scientists found there is a connection between macular degeneration from certain lights. So, people started wearing blue light glasses. The danger has to do with the intensity of the screen and how artificial our screen is. If the screen is flickering, there could be a detrimental effect on your cognition. Screens are tied to eye health and circadian rhythm. Overall, it’s critical for the human body to read the outside environment. [17:15] Should You Be Worried About EMF Exposure? The more we understand chronic disease, the more we link it with chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is oxidative stress. EMFs can increase oxidative stress in the body. EMFs can cause an overflow of calcium in the cell, reduced mitochondrial energy production, reduced melatonin productions, and chronic inflammation. At the end of the day, it comes down to why we are so inflamed. Inflammation can come from food, addiction, mental stress, alcohol, pollution, and viruses. EMFs are part of these stressors. [29:00] Do Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Really Increase Health Risks? Any Bluetooth headphones in your ear are exposing yourself to EMF radiation. Bluetooth headphones are worse for you than the radiation from your cell phone. Some people are wearing these headphones 24/7. Even if the headphones are off, it’s still emitting radiation. You are exposing yourself to dangerous and useless risks. [34:40] Effect of Electromagnetic Field Exposure On Sleep Quality Being close to power lines exposes yourself to another type of field: the 60-hertz magnetic field. 100 feet from the powerlines could start being safe. Close powerlines are not good for your health and are terrible for your sleep. Magnetic fields from the outside environment can really disrupt the body's ability to form the embryo. In a magnetic field is overall stress that is always present in the air around you; it's like living in a big bubble of radiation. If radiation impacts your sleep 10%, imagine the long-term effects. [42:40] What Is EMF Testing and How To Do It Yourself There are meters you can buy to test your area for EMF radiation. Some meters on Amazon cost as low as

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a big-hearted chiropractor with a special interest in functional neurology, brain optimization, and weight loss, Dr. Stephanie Estima.

Most hormones have gone on vacation during this time. FHS is still around (follicle-stimulating hormone). One lucky egg will be developed. So, it’s a wonderful week for vegetables. The first two weeks of your cycle are all about developing your follicle – you will be more resilient to restrict carbohydrates. It’s a nice week for fasting because we don’t have progesterone. Week 2: After the bleed week and into the second week, it’s the week before ovulation. Ovulation is the main event – it’s the whole point of your menstrual cycle. Whether or not you want a child, that’s what your body wants to do. In this week, we see estrogen. Estrogen is designed for growth because we want to develop the follicle. The other hormone that comes up is testosterone. In this week, your interest in sex should go up. Week 3: Week three happens after your ovulation. Now, your egg can hang around and wait for sperm. The entire hormonal landscape is going to change. Back off aggressive fasting this week. Give yourself flexibility- we are much more sensitive than our male counterparts. Add resistant starches to your diet during this week. Resistant starches are foods that will resist digestion. It cannot be broken down in the small intestine. Instead, they will go into the large intestine. Luckily, they don’t count toward your carbohydrate intake.

Today, I am blessed to have celebrity trainer, entrepreneur, and author, Thomas DeLauer. Thomas was hyper-focused on his business… a successful business at that, but he was afraid to step away or divert in any way towards anything else. As a result, he was overweight. The only thing that getting healthy would do would shift time away from what mattered to him most (money and providing for his family). He had the hard-wiring to be excellent at both physical performance and business… They could complement each other. He became obsessed with homing in on exactly what made him an excellent businessperson. Thomas applied discipline and knowledge to his health and made some promises to himself. In a rather short amount of time, he went from being 280 lbs to 185 lbs and on the covers of some of the largest health and fitness magazines in the world. Now, he writes for some of the largest fitness publications in the world as an expert in diet, nutrition, and mindset. Thomas became a coach after he knew that he could provide what was needed to get the world’s best businesspeople the results that they need to be a better spouse, feel better, perform better, and increase their bottom line. The best part is so much of this can be done without dramatically changing your life, and seeing the optimization take place in his clients is sincerely the reason he continues to do this. Nowadays, Thomas lives in Santa Barbara, CA with his wife, four dogs, and three horses. They enjoy an active, outdoor life that allows them to optimize every aspect of their lives. Thomas talks about how inflammation can lead to weight gain; he describes ways keto can be anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory. Plus, Thomas reveals the biggest mistakes made in the ketogenic diet and the biggest mistakes made when fasting.

How Keto Can Be Anti-inflammatory and Pro-inflammatory Keto can be anti-inflammatory because ketones are a signaling device. Ketones are a fuel, like a macronutrient. However, they also transmit a signal that helps reset the body. Ketones have the ability to communicate to reduce inflammation. The purpose of keto is to try and control inflammation. When you start eating too many omega 6 fats and low-quality oils, you will develop a problem. Omega 6s are from soybean oil, sunflower oil, and canola oil. They are already rancid. Some omega 6s are good. When they are unstable, and in abundance, it will cause inflammation. The Three Biggest Mistakes with Keto Consuming too many Omega 6s. People freak out too much about protein. Eating processed foods. If you are consuming a lot more calories because it’s processed, then it’s going to be easier to overeat. Staying In Ketosis Too Long If you go for too long, you can make yourself glucose intolerant. Your body can reject the glucose and send your blood sugar too high. This will happen until your body can adapt to glucose again. You should be cycling in and out of ketosis. What happens when you reduce your fat intake and increase carbs? The body starts pulling fat from your body.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Rachel Scheer. She is a Certified Functional Medicine Nutritionist who received her degree from Baylor University in Nutrition Science and Dietetics.

If your goal is to optimize your hormones and gut health, have better energy, or lose weight and keep it off Rachel can help you! Rachel’s journey as a nutrition coach began in weight-loss and athletic performance. However, a couple years into her practice she began to suffer from severe gastrointestinal dysfunction (IBS.) After many false diagnoses, spending thousands of dollars on doctor visits and tests, and one doctor even suggesting the removal of her entire large intestine, Rachel decided to take her health into her own hands. Using her knowledge in nutrition and dietetics Rachel became an expert on gut health and hormonal balance and completed her certification in functional medicine through the Kalish Institute. Rachel says “using a functional approach and focusing on the health of the gut microbiome saved [her] life. Rachel’s nutrition philosophy is one that looks at the total person. She uses functional lab testing to address the root cause of any imbalances in the body and creates a customized program consisting of dietary recommendations, supplements, and lifestyle modifications to optimize your health and wellbeing. In this episode, Rachel opens up about her story of becoming one of the world's top health and fitness influencers. On the outside, Rachel had the "perfect body." However, on the inside, Rachel was suffering from gut issues, depression, anxiety, thyroid problems, and hormone imbalances. Rachel speaks about how she reversed her health, and we dive deep into the importance of your gut health. Plus, Rachel reveals what things you need to avoid in order to have a healthy gut. Tune in as we chat about the importance of lean muscle mass and why you might benefit from hiring a health coach.

[00:20] How Rachel Became One of The Top Health & Fitness Influencers In The World Growing up, Rachel could literally eat whatever she wanted and whenever she wanted to eat. Rachel decided to go to Baylor University for Nutrition Science and Dietetics. At college, Rachel started weightlifting, fitness competitions, and bodybuilding. She was known as someone who could maintain this incredible physique for so long. Fitness was an outlet for Rachel to escape her trauma. [04:20] Rachel Was Close To Getting Her Entire Large Intestine Cut Out Rachel suffered from a lot of chronic gut issues. She realized that bodybuilding wasn’t healthy; she was miserable on the inside. During her bodybuilding days, Rachel had hormonal imbalances, her thyroid took a massive hit, she was depressed, and she had anxiety. Rachel’s gut issues were severe – whenever Rachel ate, she had massive pain. The gastroenterologist wanted to cut out her large intestine. Something in Rachel’s gut told her not to do the surgery. Instead, she went down the road of functional medicine. [15:40] A Guide To Increasing Diversity In Your Gut Food is a great way to increase diversity in your gut. More diversity in our gut leads to more leanness, which can help improve our metabolism. The first thing you can do is feed the bacteria in the gut by increasing more fibers. Green bananas are a great way to increase diversity. Figure out a way to rotate some of the foods and fibers that you’re eating. “Food is going to be the number one source of fuel for a greater diversity in our gut.” -Rachel Scheer [23:45] The Worst Foods You Can Eat For Gut Health Sugar A lot of pathogenic bacteria thrive off of sugar in the diet. Sugar also leads to obesity which will wreak havoc on our gut microbiome. Vegetable oils They create massive inflammation throughout our entire body. We can metabolize sugar, but we can’t metabolize these seed oils. Medications (antibiotics, antacids, PPIs, and birth control) Birth control can deplete the body of key micronutrients. It can wreak havoc in our gut microbiome not only because of depleting the nutrients, but it can cause an imbalance of bacteria. Most people have too much stomach acid, and we overuse antacids. Stress Stress causes us to be in a catabolic state. When our digestive system is not re

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, the leading authority on nutrition and human metabolism, Dr. Cate Shanahan.

Her passion is helping people feel their best. After getting her BS in biology from Rutgers University, she trained in biochemistry and genetics at Cornell University’s graduate school before attending Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She practiced in Hawaii for ten years where she studied ethnobotany and her healthiest patient’s culinary habits. She applied her learning and experiences in all these scientific fields to write Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food.

Also, Dr. Cate explains why we need to avoid The Hateful Eight Oils and how it could be the key to reducing coronavirus deaths. Plus, we talk all about omega-3s, the problem with fish oils, and everything you need to know about our metabolisms.

About The Hateful Eight Avoid these oils: Corn Canola Cottonseed Soy Sunflower Safflower Rice Grapeseed They are too high in unstable fatty acids. The average person is getting most of their calories from these oils. Without these seed oils, we would not have the burden of chronic disease. We were healthier 100 years ago, and we had no clue about vitamins, minerals, and supplements. The Great Exchange After a certain point, our body wants nothing to do with these unstable fatty acids. Two percent of daily calories should come from omega-3 and omega-6. We actually need more omega-3 than we do omega-6. The exchange of good fatty acids for bad fatty acids opens the door to chronic disease. Once we exceed the two percent amount of unstable fatty acids, then they end up in our body fat. We have a lot of people who are on the skinny side but are centrally obese. Our bodies cannot traffic these unstable acids properly. That’s why it stays near the fat lining of our intestines. Start eating the monounsaturated fatty acids. Clear your life of the seed oils. We Need More Omega-3s Than Omega-6s On a healthy diet, omega-3s are more likely to get damaged during cooking. For the amount that is ultimately absorbed, we need more omega-3 sources in the food that we eat. You can’t supplement more omega-3 if you have been eating a standard American diet. Instead, you have to cut the omega-6. If you reduce omega-6 without increasing your intake of omega-3, then your blood levels of omega-3 will start to rise. Oxidation science is very complicated, and there is a lot to consider. Fish Oil Is Highly Unstable Oxygen will attack the bond and destroy the molecule. Fish oil has two double bonds. So the oxygen is nine billion times more likely to attack. Fish oils can have five double bonds. It is so unstable that it rarely makes it off the shelf before it’s destroyed. The fish oil will turn into toxic compounds. People are getting toxic compounds from low-quality fish oils.

BBGK is her consultation service that helps wellness aspirers stay on track and motivated with the keto lifestyle to reach their health and weight loss goals, NATURALLY! Erika Bell transitioned to Keto on August 1st, 2018. She naturally lost over 100 pounds in ten months with dedication, commitment, focus, and hard work. Today, standing at 5’10 and a proud size 16/18, she has lost four dress sizes and is striving for more. This process taught her that the journey was about the MIND, BODY & SOUL and that HAS to be shared! In this episode, Erika Bell talks about her journey from hitting rock bottom to following a ketogenic lifestyle. Once Erika started keto, she never looked back; Erika lost one hundred pounds in ten months. We talk about the importance of finding community on your journey and some surprising benefits Erika found after ditching the carbs. Tune in as we chat all about Erika’s upcoming Keto Orlando Health & Wellness Summit.

[00:20] Before Keto, Erika Suffered From Death, Divorce, and Depression Prior to keto, Erika was a 48-year-old, depressed, overweight, unhappy mom of three. Erika was in a very dark place; she lost her 22-year-old niece to diabetic complications. After hitting rock bottom, Erika reached out to her doctor, who referred her to a gastric bypass doctor. The doctor said they could do the surgery, but she would need to lose thirty pounds first. On the internet, Erika searched for different ways to lose weight. When Erika started keto, it completely changed her life. She lost over 100 pounds and no longer has depression or anxiety. [07:15] When You Change Your Lifestyle, Community Will Be Critical Erika’s family was legitimately concerned about her new keto lifestyle. They thought it would make her health conditions worse. However, after three years on keto, Erika is the healthiest that she has ever been. Who would have known that eliminating certain foods would make such a difference? Luckily, Erika is the happiest that she has been in years. Anything that brings her stress is completely removed from her life. “The scale isn't as much my focus anymore as it is maintaining my mental state.” -Erika [10:55] The Most Surprising Benefit From Following A Keto Lifestyle Sadly, Erika thought she had gout. Erika’s knees to her ankle were legitimately the same size. On keto, Erika can actually see her ankles now. The inflammation is gone since Erika started ditching the carbs and processed snacks. Erika didn’t have gout; she had bread and pasta. The inflammation played a big role in Erika’s lack of mobility. [12:50] Does Keto Give You More Energy or Less? The pieces started to fall in place when Erika fell in love with the girl in the mirror. Once you choose you, you'll be a better mother, a better employee, and a better boss. It’s hard to have energy with cookies, chips, and donuts. Once you eliminate these processed foods, you will have loads of energy. When you’re not taking care of your health, it’s a very selfish thing to do. [16:00] Set Attainable Goals For Yourself When Starting A Keto Lifestyle Erika’s keto journey was day-by-day. She lost 100 pounds in ten months. When Erika changed her diet, she went 100% clean keto. She didn’t snack, and she followed her macros. Set attainable goals for yourself. When you focus on health first, then the weight will melt off. [19:05] Keto Orlando Health & Wellness Summit Erika started to grow a community on Instagram. She just wanted to meet like-minded people. So, Erika created a Beautiful Girl Gone Keto event. You can register for the next one here: https://www.beautifulgirlgoneketo.com/register-bggk-rendezvous Aug 27, 3:00 PM EDT – Aug 29, 11:00 AM EDT Hilton Orlando, 6001 Destination Pkwy, Orlando, FL 32819, USA [28:05] Believe In Yourself & Change Your Life Don’t give up.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Austin Cavelli. She helps people optimize their health by burning fat for fuel and reducing years of underlying inflammation from the standard American diet. Her approach focuses on quality nutrition by way of nutrient-dense animal products. Austin is a board-certified, nationally accredited physician assistant. I have treated thousands of patients with acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, including various autoimmune conditions. In addition, Austin has worked for several years in research studying addiction and the aging brain. Austin's background in research has taught her how to conduct experiments, a skill that has proven extremely useful in helping clients find what works specifically for them. In 2014, Austin earned my Master of Science degree from Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences in NYC. Prior, Austin received her bachelor's degree in psychobiology from Binghamton University. In this episode, Austin opens the show by explaining why she started following a carnivore diet. After years and years of digestive issues, the carnivore diet finally put Austin on the track to a healthy life. Austin explains what antinutrients are and why they could be causing some of your health symptoms. We talk about common myths like not eating fiber will cause constipation and the alleged link between red meat and cancer. Tune in as we chat about the importance of electrolytes, organ meats, and reintroducing keto foods into your diet.

[02:20] Why Austin Decided To Follow A Carnivore Diet Austin struggled mainly with digestive issues for most of her life. She suffered from chronic constipation and chronic pains with food. So, Austin tried a paleo diet and cut out diary. Eventually, Austin noticed that when she cut out certain vegetables, her digestion was getting better. Then, she realized more fats would make her feel better. It wasn’t until Austin went carnivore and cut out fiber that made her digestive issues go away. [06:30] Antinutrients Could Be The Reason For Your Symptoms Joint pain is a big issue. Antinutrients can also cause chronic constipation. Also, antinutrients can be hindering your mental clarity and sleep. Lastly, antinutrients may be causing low energy levels. Switching to carnivore can vastly improve mental clarity, sleep, energy, digestion, and joint pain. [08:35] Why You May Want To Ditch The Antinutrients Take away antinutrients to see if your health improves. Antinutrients will affect every person differently. The gut will be most affected by antinutrients. In fact, they can even cause leaky gut. First, you have to clean the gut before you introduce probiotics. If you add probiotics to an unhealthy gut, then it’s not going to help. Remove the antinutrients in order to heal the gut temporarily. [14:15] Do You Need Fiber To Have Regular Bowel Movements? People think that going on a carnivore diet will result in constipation. Other people say that the carnivore diet will result in explosive diarrhea. When switching to carnivore, the increased amount of fat could result in diarrhea. So, go heavy on protein instead of fat. Liquid fats will run right through you. [16:30] Why You Shouldn’t Drink Water When You Are Eating Your Meals When you are eating a carnivore diet, you already have a lot of protein which requires stomach acid to break it down. To maximize stomach acid, prevent water 30 minutes before and after a meal. It takes our body more effort to digest cold water. Instead, drink room temperature water. When eating, it is best not to just stress the body and make sure that you can focus on the digestion of food. [17:45] Electrolytes Are Critical When Following A Carnivore Diet Austin is a minimalist when it comes to supplements. If you are going to eat organs, then eat the actual organs. Supplements are processed, so it’s time to eliminate those from your diet when possible. If you are starting a carnivore diet, then you need more electrolytes. Take a magnesium supplement; it’s not readily available in our soil anymore. Austin recommends Pure Encapsulations: https://www.pureencapsulations.com/ [22:00] Why You Should Eat Organ Meat And How To Make It Taste Good Liver is the most bang for your buck. The beef heart is very mild. Another organ that is easy on flavor is the beef tongue. S

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Tim James. Tim started Chemical Free Body LLC to create awareness and solutions to the man-made chemical assault destroying our ecosystem and our health. Tim supports people’s transformation with education and the highest quality nutritional supplements that naturally occur in nature. In this episode, Tim James opens the show by explaining how he got into the health space. As someone who ate the standard American diet, Tim was overweight, developed eczema, had acid reflux, and got his appendix removed. After completely changing his lifestyle, Tim now loves to teach others about diet, fasting, and biohacks. Tune in as Tim talks about fasting for beginners, resetting your immune system, and Chemical Free Body products.

It’s one thing to get healthy for yourself, but Tim also teaches other people how to get healthy. Health is all about the right medicine, and the right foods for the right person at the right time. Tim grew up on the standard American diet. At age 37, Tim was gaining a few pounds every year. He developed eczema on both of his elbows. He had to stop wearing white shirts because he was bleeding on them. Plus, Tim had acid reflux 24/7. Later, during vacation, Tim got appendicitis and had his appendix removed. “My poor health doesn't affect just me; it affects every single person around me.” -Tim Tim’s friend got diagnosed with leukemia. So, Tim went to a Health Institute with his friend and was put on a strict diet. After one day, Tim’s acid reflux was gone. [13:30] Colon Hydrotherapy Sessions: Are They Helpful or Harmful? You sit on a tube rectally, and water goes in and out of your colon for about an hour. The session cleans out your colon. A healthy person has a pink colon with red blood vessels. An unhealthy person will have worms crawling around and can be black or brown. After the hydrotherapy session, Tim lost ten pounds of fecal material. The record was from someone who dropped twenty-seven pounds out of her colon. [23:00] How Intermittent Fasting Plays A Role in Tim’s Community First, you need to remove the fear around intermittent fasting. When you go to bed, and you’re asleep, then you’re fasting. Our bodies have been programmed to eat, fast, eat, fast, and so on. The industry has sold us on breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When you have a heavy meal, then you stop the body’s natural detoxification process. Plus, eating too frequently will mess up your blood sugar levels. Check out The Pleasure Trap: https://www.amazon.com/Pleasure-Trap-Mastering-Undermines-Happiness/dp/1570671974/benazadi-20 [27:10] The First Steps To Take When You’re Ready To Try Fasting First, take one of your meals and replace it with liquid nourishment. Make a fresh green juice and flood the body with nutrients. The juice will help regulate your blood sugar. If your blood sugar is going goofy, then you can use sprouted nut milk. Technically, drinking juice is not fasting. However, it’s a steppingstone to start intermittent fasting. High-quality fatty acids will build muscles like nobody’s business. Don’t eat until after 11 am. [30:40] How To Reset Your Entire Immune System As Quick As Possible A three or four-day water fast will reset your immune system. Your body will start eating up the dead cells during a water fast. Plus, your stomach will heal itself and rest. Energy will go through the roof, and you’ll be burning ketones.

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. 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.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Gonzalez. He obtained his Ph. D and BS from the University of California, Irvine where he studied, and his thesis addressed interactions of the immune system following spinal cord injury. In addition to his expertise in degenerative disorders involving the spinal cord, he has extensive experience in stem cell culture and biology from various sources. He has extensive knowledge in all aspects of cell biology and health where he teaches worldwide on regenerative medicine and maintaining immune health. Dr. Gonzalez is responsible for the development of clinical stem cell applications for several disease/trauma states. He leads 4 different investigational new drug applications with patented stem cell technology. Additionally, he works on the clinical development of immune based therapies using natural killer cells. He had led a reference laboratory in testing various regenerative medicine products. Dr Gonzalez has been in the regenerative medicine field for more than 18 years and has several scientific publications. He has taught, spoken and led many conferences nationwide in the regenerative medicine sector. In this episode, Dr. Gonzalez reveals the inspiration behind his career in the stem cell space. We speak about why cell therapeutics is known as the wild west and the amount of FDA testing Dr. Gonzalez goes through to ensure safe products. Then, Dr. Gonzalez dives into what exactly stem cells are and how they can improve the natural processes that are already occurring in your body. Tune in as we talk about the importance of fasting, turning your life around after an autoimmune diagnosis, and who should consider getting cell therapeutics.

[00:45] Why Dr. Gonzalez Started In The Stem Cell Space At college, Dr. Gonzalez studied embryonic stem cell research in spinal cord injuries. He loves to understand and study cells. Stem cells have properties that can heal the body. Plus, Dr. Gonzalez believes that stem cells can work against aging. In fact, stem cells are made naturally inside our body. [08:00] The Wild West of Cell Therapeutics & FDA Testing Any form of cell therapeutics is like the wild west. When you submit for the cells to have a Chemical Manufacturing Composition, it takes years. Gonzalez got his first clinical study approved in 2019 with the FDA. Essentially, the FDA boils down to the amount of testing. They are always ensuring that the product is safe. [13:05] How Stem Cells Can Improve The Natural Processes In Your Body Pompa and Dr. Gonzalez have been looking at using stem cells to control the inflammatory state and increase blood flow. We need increased blood flow because you’ll notice brain fog and a loss of energy without it. The natural property of our body is actually to increase blood flow any way that it can. The cells in your body have three fates: Natural cell turnover Necrosis Senescence When our cells stop dividing, they start occupying space and cause havoc. These cells can cause wrinkles and gray hair. There’s a cell type in our body that is a natural killer. These cells have three jobs: Remove a cancer cell Pick up viral load Wipe out senescence cells If you don’t have immune health, you essentially have nothing. Every single disease has an immune component to it. [22:10] The Critical Role Fasting Plays In Longevity Aging is an issue of cell growth. If you consume food incorrectly, your body has to process all that. When you keep dividing cells, you are causing senescence. One proven lifestyle change for longevity is fasting. Also, diet is important because you force your body to remove the toxins in your body.

The consultation is completely free. Depending on what you are looking to achieve will determine what type of therapeutics you should consider. Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy can help with the aging process. [30:30] How To Start Getting Your Life Back After An Autoimmune Diagnosis First and foremost, Dr. Gonzalez likes to discuss diet. If you are taking a bunch of meds, then you are not going to get better. Stem cells will give you a temporary effect unless you are doing all the key lifestyle components. Thin

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Megan Hall. She received her BS in Exercise Biology and MS in Nutritional Biology at UC Davis where her research focused on the effects of low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets on longevity and health span in mice. She currently works as Scientific Director at Nourish Balance Thrive, an online health coaching company helping people achieve optimal health and peak performance. In her free time Megan enjoys reading, strength training, and hiking in the Colorado mountains. In this episode, Megan opens up the show by explaining why she wanted to learn more about nutritional and lifestyle interventions for optimal health. Even if you are making the necessary lifestyle changes, you can still be facing health issues. Megan explains why you may want to consider the gut as the reason you are having problems. Plus, Megan talks about how both physical and emotional stress can impact our gut health, and she gives tips on avoiding stress during mealtime. Tune in as we chat about overcoming acid reflux, the impact keto and fasting have on gut health, and whether or not you should give up drinking coffee.

She wanted to know more about how lifestyle and nutrition play a role in chronic diseases. Plus, Megan was becoming frustrated with conventional medical school education. Instead of pharmaceutical education, Megan wanted to learn more about helping people implement impactful nutritional and lifestyle interventions. Now, Megan works at Nourish Balance Thrive. She helps people achieve optimal health and performance. [06:15] You Made Necessary Lifestyle Changes But Something Is Still Wrong Megan will help people who already have changed their diets, and their sleep is on point. However, there are still health issues. In this case, Megan says something is going on in the gut. Intestinal permeability or dysbiosis could be causing health issues. A stool test and targeted supplementation can fix the gut problem. There isn’t a perfect stool test, unfortunately. [09:40] Mental Emotional Stress Impacts Not Just Our Digestive Health, But Also Our Overall Health There are different ways that stress can impact the gut. Both physical and emotional stress can have consequences. The elevation of stress hormones can cause direct inflammation and lead to further gut-derived inflammation. Stress hormones can potentially even lead to food intolerance if gut permeability is involved. Also, stress can directly impact digestion and nutrient absorption. Our bodies are not designed to digest food while we are under stress. Plus, stress can lead to making poor food choices. Stress can also increase motility and fluid reabsorption in the gut. Take deep breaths before eating – it will bring your body back into the parasympathetic state. [16:05] Eating Before Bed: It Can Affect Digestion, Sleep, And Your Circadian Rhythm The body expects food to come during the day. Eating inherently increases our energy output and our body temperature. A drop in body temperature is one of the biggest signs or signals for our bodies to go to sleep. If you’re eating before bed, you’re not able to cool your body temperature down to increase melatonin. Sleep should be a time of rest and repair. If we are digesting while sleeping, it can cause issues. Plus, our gut microbes have their own circadian rhythms. [19:45] Megan Reveals Tips For Overcoming Acid Reflux Avoid really large meals. Some people have specific food triggers that cause acid reflux. Don’t eat close to bedtime. If you’re doing everything right, look at what's going on at the level of the gut to see if there's small intestinal dysbiosis. [21:35] How Ketosis Can Impact Your Gut Health It makes sense from an evolutionary lens that our guts evolved to have this metabolic flexibility to adapt to different food resources available at a given time. There is some recent evidence in animals that butyrate may help enhance sleep. Butyrate also seems to have some anti-inflammatory effects both locally in the gut and then also outside of the gut. [25:00] The Importance of Rotating Foods For Gut Diversity When gut cells use butyrate as a fuel, it's actually converted to ketone bodies. Ketones may help improve gut fu

Today’s episode is very close to my heart as I have a personal experience with diabetes. My father developed Type II Diabetes and I have watched him struggle with this disease. It was a very difficult time of my life. Ever since he passed away five years ago, I set out and study diabetes and why my fathers doctors’ advice did not work. This is a throwback episode from a KKP classic, episode 24 with Dr Jason Fung. I came across the book The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss by Dr. Jason Fung where he explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight—for good. The information that I now know would’ve saved my father’s life. Which is why I fully support Dr. Jason Fung’s, today’s guest, on his mission to spread as much information on diabetes and intermittent fasting to help as many people as possible. Dr. Jason Fung is a Canadian nephrologist. He’s a world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes. He has written four best-selling health books. Dr. Fung works with Team Diet Doctor where they make it simple for people to understand and implement intermittent fasting, to improve their health. In this episode, we break down every single thing you need to know about calories, obesity, diabetes and intermittent fasting. Sit tight and enjoy!

In this episode, you'll discover: [00:17] How Dr. Fung got into the health space, particularly nephrology As a Math and Science person, Dr. Fung initially thought he would pursue the field of engineering. He then decided that being a physician was more fitted to his style. After years in the university, he figured that he was also invested in doing research. As a physician, he can help people and do some research at the same time. In choosing a specialty, Dr. Fung felt that Nephrology suited his personality better. Nephrology is a complex specialty which is sort of a thinking-person speciality unlike cardiology which is more of an action specialty (i.e surgery) [4:13] Diabetes, Obesity and Intermittent Fasting The most common and important cause of kidney disease is Type II Diabetes which is closely related to weight gain and obesity. Treating kidney diseases with medications is the least effective way to treat people. You have to look at the root cause of the disease in order to be successful in treating it. Which is why, for Dr. Fung, the real question was “what causes weight gain?” Nutrition is not considered part of the medical specialty which explains why doctors depend on medications to treat certain illnesses. Second question: What are you gonna do about it? Obesity was not existent during the 1970s. Now, 70% of Americans are obese. Intermittent Fasting: People suffering with Type II Diabetes for 20+ years immediately felt better by intermittent fasting. Fasting is less fun that eating pizza and doughnuts. Fasting is tough work. It is important to give people undergoing intermittent fasting the support and education they need. [12:30] The Calorie Debacle Coca-Cola created a group called the Global Energy Balance Network to keep people focused on calories. They wanted people to think that 100 calories of broccoli is equivalent to 100 calories of Coca-Cola which is completely wrong. If you think that if you can eat cookies, drink coke and exercise then, you’ll be healthy, you are wrong. But, Coca-Cola wants you to think that this is right. Hormones control hunger, telling our body when to eat and when to stop. Different calorie sources elicit different hormonal responses. Diet and exercise are totally different things. Diet is what you eat. It affects the liver mostly. Exercise is mostly about skeletal muscles. Calorie is not a physiologic term. There’s no calorie-receptors in our body. We think that excessive intake of calories causes obesity. We think that this is a caloric imbalance. Too many ‘calories in’ compared to too few ‘calories out’ leads to weight gain. This Calorie Balance model of obesity has been drilled into us since childhood. Read more about the Calorie Debacle here. [18:40] Intermittent Fasting as a reasonable alternative to treat patients Ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting are not as famous as low-carb diet. Jason Fung received a lot of backlash when he sta

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Paul Barattiero. He has lectured across the world over the last 22 years. 12 years ago, he set out to educate the world on the vast benefits of molecular hydrogen. His message has focused on the critical role of molecular hydrogen (H2) in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. His lectures present the causal problem and the solutions through scientific studies. He developed the Echo hydrogen water system as well as other products to modulate immune and cognitive function. Paul has lectured across the world and has been on national television in the USA, Germany, and Switzerland, including Doug Kaufman’s television show, Know the Cause. He was featured in “The Truth about Cancer” and has been on radio shows and podcasts worldwide. Paul works diligently to educate individuals on how to prevent disease and no longer suffer. Paul’s greatest joys come from serving others. He is passionate about the prevention of pathologies. He founded Synergy Science, Inc. in 2011 and developed a full line of products focused on detoxification, immune boost, and gut recovery. In this episode, Paul Barattiero reveals the pain to purpose story that led him to discover hydrogen water in the first place. Then, Paul dives deep into hydrogen and how hydrogen water can help us optimize our glucose levels. Hydrogen is a powerful selective antioxidant that neutralizes cytotoxic free radicals, helping eliminate oxidative stress and inflammation. Later, Paul answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners, including how hydrogen water can benefit people with autism, whether or not it’s beneficial for our pets, and much more!

His wife had gynecological issues, her menstrual cycle was horrible, and she was highly anemic. A friend told Paul about this water system that could potentially help people. After Paul’s wife tried the water, it changed her whole life. Within a few months, her menstrual cycle changed, and she was no longer anemic. [10:55] Things You Need To Know About Hydrogen Hydrogen is number one on the periodic table. It’s a gas that should be produced in your gut. Your body is designed to produce hydrogen gas in your gut when you ferment or digest food. Hydrogen will reduce oxidation. Plus, it gives direction to over 200 biomolecules that have been identified in the body. Every system in the human body is regulated by hydrogen [20:55] How Hydrogen Can Play A Role In Helping Us Optimize Our Glucose Levels Giving hydrogen water to individuals with diabetes will get their blood glucose levels back to normal. Your body puts cholesterol in your veins. When we have too much oxidative stress in our body, our veins will become less elastic. Your body will put cholesterol into the veins where the walls are weak. Hydrogen is able to change oxidative stress and inflammation. Check out Hydrogen Studies: https://www.hydrogenstudies.com/ [28:55] Hydrogen And The Human Body: Why It Matters You are supposed to have hydrogen in the human body to begin with. We should be creating 10 to 12 liters of hydrogen gas per day. You were designed to have a hydrogen generator in your gut. When you take in pesticides, then you're combating your gut function. So, you need the water to be with you daily. Chemicals get into our system; they destroy us as human beings. It all starts with our gut. [33:20] Hydrogen: An Option In Human Disease Treatment Oxidative stress and inflammation is the leading cause of disease. As we convert oxygen into fuel, we create oxygen radicals. Well, our antioxidant system is designed to combat that and keep oxidation in a normal range. When your oxidation is rising, you will have what we call oxidation stress. Oxidation is natural, whereas oxidative stress is unnatural. If you want to live a long time, you have to have a healthy gut. [42:55] How Hydrogen Water Can Support People With Autism Because of gut issues, people with autism are not producing ghrelin secretions. Ghrelin secretions happen either in the stomach or the gastrointestinal tract. When the gut is damaged or not functioning, you don't produce ghrelin. The lack of ghrelin will cau

Today, I am blessed to have for a THIRD time, Dr. Don Clum. He graduated from Life University in Marietta, GA in 1997 with a degree in Human Nutrition. He then moved to Life Chiropractic College West in California, where he graduated with his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2000. After graduation, Dr. Clum moved to San Jose, Costa Rica where he was invited to work with the Costa Rican Olympic Committee and Athletes. Dr. Clum participated in the National, Central American and Caribbean and Central American Games as the team chiropractor and as the official chiropractor for two professional soccer teams. As a frequent guest on National Television and Radio, Dr. Clum was influential in bringing the gift of holistic health care to the people of Central America and worked with the government programs, instituting W.H.O. procedures and working directly with the indigenous populations of Costa Rica. He was sought after as a speaker and has presented to various professional sports teams, universities, medical groups, medical and chiropractic schools, businesses and government agencies. Dr. Clum was instrumental in forming the first Colegio or “Board” and enacting the first legislation recognizing chiropractic as a licensed and legal healing profession in Costa Rica. In this episode, Dr. Clum opens the show by revealing why the 'calories in, calories out' method of eating is bogus. Plus, he tells us how glycogen works and the reason that too many people oversimplify it. Dr. Clum explains why people who burn more calories are happier, and he gives an overview of the blood markers you should use to measure insulin health. Tune in as we chat about the problem with snacking, how to know if you're fasting too much, and we dig deep into adrenals, insulin, and cortisol.

First of all, the accuracy for calories is fundamentally off. There's automatically up to a 25% error rate for calories. Plus, our body will process calories differently depending on what they are. Sugars will be released into your body differently depending on your gut bacteria. [07:30] The Glycogen Concept Is Flawed – We Oversimplify It We never tap out our glycogen. You don't have to reduce glycogen by a significant amount if you're metabolically flexible. The glycogen in our liver is there for our body. Glycogen appears to be pretty steady no matter what you do. You don't have to deplete all your glycogen to go into fat burning. [17:30] People Who Burn More Calories Are Happier People who burn more calories are happier because of different hormonal states. Your body will interpret nutrients in your gut. Food is not fuel – it’s information. Your body doesn’t handle processed food very well, even protein powders. [24:10] Blood Markers You Can Use To Monitor Insulin Health You can do serum insulin, which is fasting insulin. You want that number as low as possible. This number should be around 2 or 3. When you eat, that number can blow up to seven times. If you start at 20, then you’ll go up to 140. If you keep doing that each day, then you have a problem. Most Americans eat in a fifteen-hour window – they are eating from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed. [26:05] Why Snacking Could Be Damaging Your Health Snacking causes a lot of issues. People are snacking between 19 and 23 times a day. If you are constantly digesting, then you aren’t recycling. When your body is resting, then it is in autophagy. So, your cells will start to work better. Autophagy allows new cells to come in and replace cells that have died. [31:40] Signs You Could Be Fasting Too Often Clum teaches progressive fasting rotations. Growth will start to kick in after a fast. You could lose 97% of your new cells if you don’t end a fast in the right way. It is rare that you lose lean body muscle from fasting. You have to have a body fat percentage of 5% or less to tap into muscle during a fast. [34:10] Does It Matter What Foods You Break A Fast With? What breaks the fast depends on why you're doing the fast. The food you eat will matter up to two weeks after you fast. Eat foods that are insulin friendly. Plus, exercise is a key component of repairing your cells. [50:45] Quitting Junk Food Causes Withdrawals Like Drug Addiction When an a

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Maria, an FDN practitioner, and Kristin, a Board-certified nutritionist, are plainspoken friends and practitioners who share a passion for women’s health, especially women’s health at midlife. As both are themselves menopausal, they’ve refined the art and science of thriving as a midlife woman based on both clinical and personal experience. They combine individualized nutrition and lifestyle changes tailored to midlife women’s needs with mindset coaching, lab testing and hormone replacement therapy education to help women thrive so that they can stop or prevent their health from spinning out of control. In this episode, Maria and Kristin open up the show by revealing how they got involved in the health space. Maria and Kristin talk about their work with perimenopausal and menopausal women to create fundamental hormonal and whole health transformations. Plus, they give tips on how you can have a smooth transition to perimenopause and menopause and they provide practical advice on adjusting your lifestyle accordingly. Tune in as we chat about ditching oatmeal, avoiding veganism, and why we love the DUTCH test.

[00:50] Why Maria and Kristin Got Involved In The Health Space Maria needed to see a doctor because she was putting on some weight, she wasn't sleeping well, and her mood just tanked. Unfortunately, Maria was not getting the answers that she was seeking from her doctor. The doctor wanted to put Maria on hormone therapy right away. For sleep issues, the doctor prescribed clonazepam. Overall, Maria’s doctor didn’t get to the causes of why she was experiencing certain symptoms. For Kristin, she had hormone issues her entire life. The solution from doctors was always a birth control pill. However, Kristin didn't know enough to understand that this was hormonal dysfunction. In Kristin’s thirties, she started to battle her weight, libido, and skin. Kristin’s doctor told her that nothing was wrong with her. Sadly, Kristin’s doctor would not check her hormones. Eventually, Kristin pursued a nutrition program and became board-certified. She started a journey on changing her food, hormones, and lifestyle. [09:25] How Making Lifestyle Changes Can Health Your Body Less is more when it comes to training. You may be overtraining. When you reduce your training, your weight may start to melt off. Sleep is a massive piece of your lifestyle. If you haven’t already, it’s time to get serious about your sleep patterns. Also, nourish your body and get monthly massages – it will make all the difference. [12:45] Making A Smooth Transition To Perimenopause When progesterone declines, it is never coming back. Menopause is a full 12 months without a period. The closer you get to menopause, there will be a lot of symptoms because your hormones are in flux. Some women, even with good adrenal health, are going to suffer. If you have low estrogen and low testosterone, you are fighting an uphill battle. [16:20] Practical Steps You Can Take Before Hitting Perimenopause First, dial in your nutrition. Women need to put down the smoothie and start eating bacon, eggs, and steak. Next, address adrenal health. It’s time to learn how to live with your stress. In your thirties and forties, taking care of YOU is really important. Salt baths, massages, and wine will be essential self-care pieces. If you don’t want to hit a brick wall in your late forties, then you need to deal with your self-care routine now. [23:35] Oatmeal: Why It May Not Be As Healthy As You Think Women don’t understand satiety. They mistake nutritional choices that fill them up as satiety. Someone has oatmeal at 9 am, then they are snacking again at 11 am. A nourishing meal should not be made out of kindling. A meal should be something that will satisfy you for four or five hours. Your first meal of the day should be protein-heavy. Most of the time, oatmeal is a dessert. Plus, women will feel full because they are bloated from eating oatmeal. [27:30] The Importance of Eating Animal Protein vs. Plant-Based Protein There is a massive difference between animal protein and plant protein. Primarily, the most significant difference is the carbohydrate load. Meat will be mostly fat and protein. Whereas plant-based protein will be high in carbs. Another difference is the amino acid qual

[01:35] The Environment Impacts How Our Hormones Communicate With Each Other A recent study found that by the year 2041, men will basically be infertile. The environment that we have created through modernization is decimated. People in the Midwest now have phosphate and Atrazine in their cells because of fertilizer. When your endocrine system is not functioning optimally you have hormonal declines. Men and women have low levels of circulating free testosterone, estrogen, and various other hormones that are important in the body. So, men and women have to become proactive for their own health. [10:00] Practical Solutions To Regulating Your Blood Sugar Spikes Everyone needs to have an inner work practice. First, have a morning ritual and get centered. Another thing you can do is reduce the amount of carbohydrates that you eat. Also, don’t eat late at night! We're not designed to metabolize food while in bed. Give yourself three hours before you go to bed without eating. The fat will typically melt right off. [17:30] Jay Campbells Says That Metabolic Flexibility Is The Key To Longevity Staying in ketosis for the long term is not good. However, if you have a disease, you may need to stay in ketosis. The average person should not stay in ketosis because it screws up your insulin metabolism. Insulin suppression and regulation are the keys to long life. People that live the longest have the most efficient mitochondria. Overall, you want to remain metabolically flexible. By remaining metabolically flexible, your body will adapt and fuel it appropriately. [29:50] All About Peptides: Benefits And What You Need To Know Peptides are small protein bonded molecules that cause all sorts of enhancement to biological systems. There are peptides that increase healing, improve immunity, increase cognition, improve fat loss, and increase muscle building. Ipamorelin peptides are great for increasing endogenous growth hormone production without disturbing your current endogenous growth hormone production. As we age, we don’t make as much growth hormone. So, ipamorelin peptides are amazing! If you are using peptides correctly, there are no side effects. [39:45] There Are Only Two Ways To Get Your Peptides Right now, in the marketplace, the only option for peptides is through a doctor. Get a doctor to write you a script for a peptide that is FDA-approved. There are seven FDA-approved pept

Expect more good things from Keto-Mojo as they work with keto communities around the world! Dorian opens up about his backstory in this episode and why he got started in the health space and eventually created Keto-Mojo. Dorian wants everyone to understand that Keto-Mojo is more than a meter; it's a lifestyle. Plus, Dorian explains why testing your ketones with urine strips and a breath analyzer simply does not work. Then, we talk about the optimal results you should be looking for with the Keto-Mojo Meter and understanding the data you receive. Finally, Dorian reveals the big news about MyMojoHealth.

[00:25] How Dorian Greenow Got Involved In The Health Space Dorian was in the wine industry and living large in the Napa Valley, eating great food and drinking great wines. His lifestyle started to have a pretty massive toll on his body. Dorian’s weight had ballooned way over 200 pounds. Plus, Dorian was on antidepressants, and his job was going terribly. A friend told Dorian to get away from the carbs. After diving into science, a low-carb diet made sense. Over a period of three months, his weight dropped off, and he got off all of the antidepressants. In 2017, Dorian and his wife lost their house. They used the last of their money to start Keto-Mojo. Now, they are dedicated to providing free content with Keto-Mojo. [05:50] Why You Should Start Testing Your Ketones Measurement is the first step that leads to control. Once you can control something, you can improve upon it. There are different types of tests between blood, breath, and urine. Blood is the gold standard. Why are you choosing to go on a ketogenic diet? When you learn your why, it will become a lot easier to follow the lifestyle. First, you’ll want to know if you’re in ketosis or if you’re not in ketosis. That way, you can tell what types of foods are kicking you out of ketosis. “Let the data drive you.” -Dorian [16:50] The Reason You Shouldn’t Measure Ketones With Urine Strips With urine strips, you don’t get clear digital granularity. Also, it can be really affected by hydration. If the strip is dark, people think they are in ketosis. However, it most likely means that the person is dehydrated. In addition, the ketone breath analyzers are pretty much useless. They were originally designed for methane detection. To get acetone in the breath, you have a tiny level of resistance. Plus, there is no method of control for both the urine strips and the breath analyzers. [24:15] The Optimal Ranges You Want To Aim For With Your Results Nutritional ketosis starts around 0.5 – 1.52. Over 1.52 into 3 and 4 will be a deeper ketosis zone. With blood glucose, 80 – 100 is what you’re going for in the morning. When trying out new food, a 30 point rise should be concerning. Visit Keto-Mojo: https://keto-mojo.com/ [32:40] Will Coffee Break Your Fast? Use Data To Find Out Will you have a reaction to coffee? It depends on what you put in it. People need to become their own mentors by using data. Use data to guide your eating habits. That way, you can see whether or not certain foods are right for you. The person who's going to be most successful is the one who finds their path. Keto is a lifestyle; it’s not a diet.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Danielle Hamilton. In February of 2018, Danielle adopted a real-food, low-carb, high fat (keto) diet and began incorporating fasting (intermittent and prolonged). She can maintain a comfortable weight, and her skin is flawless. Danielle's periods are regular, and her PMS & cramps vanished. Danielle doesn't even bloat before my period anymore! After graduating as an NTP, Danielle decided that her mission is to help women discover and improve their blood sugar issues. Research suggests that 1 out of 3 adults has prediabetes. Of this group, 9 out of 10 don't know they have it. 29.1 million people in the United States have diabetes, but 8.1 million may be undiagnosed and unaware of their condition. Danielle's mission is to help women uncover and improve their blood sugar issues so they can feel their best and live long and healthy lives. In this episode, Danielle reveals the inspiration behind her career as a health practitioner. Danielle started following a ketogenic lifestyle with fasting after suffering from severe allergies, ear infections, eczema, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Fortunately, Danielle was able to reverse her symptoms, including PCOS, completely. Danielle reveals why fasting will be crucial to making insulin hormones more sensitive. Plus, we chat about ditching industrial seed oils, processed carbs, and stress. Tune in as we talk about the importance your gallbladder has on your digestive process.

[00:25] Why Danielle Decided To Become A Health Practitioner Growing up, Danielle would eat the standard American diet, she loved processed carbs, and she loved breakfast foods. Sadly, Danielle was always spitting up - she had eczema, ear infections and needed to get her tonsils out. After removing her tonsils, Danielle developed tons of allergies and asthma. Sadly, she didn’t realize that tonsils were part of her immune system. Unfortunately, Danielle was getting five allergy shots three times a week! Plus, she was taking numerous medications and was on multiple inhalers. Danielle recommends reading The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet: https://www.amazon.com/Paleo-Solution-Original-Human-Diet/dp/0982565844/benazadi-20 Eventually, Danielle realized that she had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). So, she started eating keto and fasting and reversed her PCOS, allergies, and asthma. [09:55] Why Fasting Is Crucial To Making Insulin Hormones More Sensitive Our bodies become resistant to things really fast. When there are insulin levels in the blood, your body is becoming resistant to it. Intermittent fasting is a really great way to help to lower insulin levels. That way, you can become more sensitive to insulin. Fasting is the number one way to improve our insulin sensitivity. [13:10] How Industrial Seed Oils Are Contributing To Insulin Resistance Industrial seed oils are directly causing insulin resistance. Here are the oils to look out for: Vegetable Oils Soy Sunflower Corn Canola Safflower Cottonseed Grapeseed Rice Bran They will cause your body to have insulin resistance and also block your body's own fat burning. As the fats become part of us, then they interfere with the body's ability to burn its own body fat. A lot of people are stuck because they have this toxic body fat from seed oils. [14:50] Why You Should Steer Away From Processed Carbs The more you process a carbohydrate, the more likely it is to spike your blood sugar because you’re removing the fiber. It’s better to eat fruit than a smoothie. In a smoothie, you have really pulverized that fiber. Any sort of carbohydrate that is has been processed is really going to spike your sugar. Plus, carbs are addictive. [17:30] The Problem With Snacking & Why It Could Be Damaging Your Health There is no such thing as a healthy snack. However, if you are working on actively healing your reactive hypoglycemia, you may need to eat more frequently. Most of the time, snack foods are high in carbohydrates. Even if your snacks are not high in carbs, then it will affect your blood sugar. Danielle says it’s better to have a dessert than it is to have a snack. Your body is not meant to digest food all day. [21:55] Building Muscle Will Be Critical For Insulin Sensitivity When you build muscle, it becomes like a sink for insulin and glucose. Muscles

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joel Evan. Before Joel became a coach for empowering people and sharing ‘biohacks’ across the globe, he had his share of obstacles to overcome. From having an abnormal bone growth in his leg as a young child, to feeling lost and with no sense of purpose after high school and college, to starting a business twice and failing, and being $20k in debt, Joel’s story is the perfect example of how anybody can overcome the obstacles in their life and achieve greatness. Fast forward a few short years, and Joel was featured in the hit Netflix show, A User’s Guide to Cheating Death, and launched his podcast The Hacked Life. He is a high performance life coach, a health coach, and speaker. He’s also a Neufit practitioner that uses a machine called a Neubie which utilizes a direct current electrical stimulation to provide the body the right signals, so your body has the opportunity to heal itself from injury, build muscle, and create good health. Joel is also a martial artist and a black belt in Tony Ramos Kajukenbo and has been training in various martial arts for over 20 years. Joel has been a first responder for over 13 years and understands the life threatening, high stake, stressful environment that debilitates many in the profession and has developed skills and systems to promote balance. While many are running away from the threat, Joel is running towards it. In this episode, Joel opens up about what inspired him to get into the health space. Sadly, Joel realized that our healthcare system only cares about the effects of something rather than a cause. So, Joel set out to help all sorts of people, specifically, weight loss for men. However, Joel doesn’t necessarily help men lose weight. Instead, he helps them transform their habits, lifestyle, and beliefs. Luckily, Joel gives us tips on creating lasting habits, controlling our beliefs, and he reveals his favorite biohacks. Tune in to hear Joel’s book recommendations.

[00:30] What Inspired Joel To Get Into The Health Space One thing Joel noticed about himself is that he never thinks he is doing good enough. The lack of that self-worth issue also fuels Joel and drives him to get better and do more. After having his first son, Joel saw that his son was not flourishing – it didn’t make sense. Joel knew there had to be a better way to be healthy. Sadly, our current health system only looks at the effects instead of the cause. “There are so many people suffering that shouldn't be, and that just drives me nuts.” -Joel Evan [07:30] What Joel Would Tell Someone To Focus On Who Is Trying To Get Healthy Joel likes to help men with weight loss. However, when you help somebody with weight loss, there are so many other things going on with that person. A lot of times, Joel will help people emotionally and who they become as a person after their weight loss. After seeing Joel, people have a complete transformation. It's not necessarily about hitting the goal, but who we become along the way. [10:50] Joel Reveals The Best Ways To Create Healthy Habits The first step in any kind of habit is you need to have awareness. Next, make your habits tiny, easy, and achievable. The fastest way to get to a habit is you want to anchor it to something that you're already doing. For instance, brushing your teeth is a great anchor because you do that every single day. If you want to start reading more, then after you brush your teeth, open up the book and close the book. That’s all you have to do! Eventually, you’ll start reading a page every night. Down the road, that page will turn into a chapter every night. [14:10] How Your Beliefs Are Playing A Role In Your Health Creating a lifestyle will require a foundation. You should be able to tune back in and align yourself with core fundamentals and then get back and do what you got to do. People don't realize how much their beliefs play a role in their health and day-to-day life. As you go about your day, ask yourself why you do what you do. People don’t question you because they are aligned with you. During Covid, people believed that if they didn't wear a mask, they would get sick. Well, if you take on that belief, you probably will get sick. Once you balance the body, the body can go and do whatever it wants. [22:10] Why Joel Recommends Wearing A Co

[01:20] Why Dr. Sloane Wanted To Get Involved With Men’s Health In medical school, Dr. Sloane realized that the doctors having a good time in life were urologists. So, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in urology. Later, Dr. Sloane wanted to promote more wellness. As a urologist, it was a perfect fit. Also, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in age management medicine, functional medicine, and peptides. [07:20] What Dr. Sloane Looks At When Treating Erectile Dysfunction First, Dr. Sloane checks free and total testosterone levels. However, the first test is not accurate. Nitric oxide is a key molecule for erections. When you hit 50, your levels of nitric oxide getting produced by the endothelial in your body decline drastically. Nitric oxide is a very important molecule in terms of just overall cardiovascular health, especially with erections. Also, Dr. Sloane will have a conversation about diet and exercise with his patients. [10:05] How To Boost Nitric Oxide Without Supplementation Diet is a big one when it comes to increasing nitric oxide levels. Sloane recommends adding these foods to your diet: Arugula Beets Bok choy After adding those foods to your diets, there are some other ways to improve nitric oxide levels: Exercise Good sleep Nose breathing [12:45] What You Can Do To Improve Your Prostate Health Lots of greens are going to be good for your prostate. A good diet with minimal sugar and carbs will be good for your prostate health. Sloane recommends checking out these supplements: https://theralogix.com/ Prostate cancer is genetically related. So make sure that you are getting tested regularly. Genetic screening and genetic counseling could be a great way of prevention. [19:55] How Porn Brain Is Affecting Our Quality of Life Porn brain has been debated; some people do not feel that exists. However, Dr. Sloane says that porn is addicting. Men have to mimic the porn in their real sexual life, but they can't. So, they have a hard time getting turned on. Plus, porn leads to desensitization. Even with Instagram, it’s an unattainable goal and a real issue. [22:50] All About GAINSWave And The Benefits of Using It GAINSWave is the pre

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Rebecca Warren. Her approach to thyroid and hormonal health is simple but powerful: get to the cause, then support the body to heal itself. The thyroid doesn’t work on its own, so when the thyroid is off, it not only affects the entire endocrine system, but all systems within the body. This is why just getting a thyroid dysfunction diagnosis doesn’t mean you’ll ever get well, and in fact can make you worse over time. Likewise, hormonal imbalances indicate something is systemically wrong in the body. In Chattanooga and virtually around the world, Dr. Rebecca coaches her clients on optimal thyroid care via customized plans utilizing lab work and testing, supplements, and functional nutrition. In this episode, Dr. Warren gives a massive overview of the thyroid and what you need to know about Reverse T3. Plus, we chat about if you should try keto and fasting with thyroid issues and the danger of staying in ketosis for too long.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Lauren Sambataro and Renee Belz. Lauren and Renee grew up in a health-driven family that prioritized the fundamentals of wellness and self-care (don’t worry, there was lots of mac n’ cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!). Their father, Gene Sambataro, The Original Biohacker and pioneer of Holistic Dentistry, taught them the importance of individualization and experimentation from a very young age. Coming together as health entrepreneurs, Renee a Certified Nutritional Consultant and Holistic Lifestyle Coach with a Master’s degree in Nutrition, and Lauren, a Broadway performer, Corrective Exercise specialist and Functional Health Coach, feel a strong passion and drive to not only share each of their journeys towards wellness, but their strategy and motivation to discover our unique bodies through the world of biohacking. Their podcast, the Biohacker Babes, aims to create insight into the body’s natural healing abilities, strengthen your intuition, and empower you with techniques and modalities to optimize your health and wellness. In this episode, Lauren and Renee reveal how they got into the biohacking space. Then, we jump right into why stabilizing blood sugar levels is critical for your weight loss journey. Lauren and Renee also discuss other essential tools for your overall health journey, like increasing thermogenesis, building lean muscle mass, and supporting fatty acid metabolism. Lastly, Lauren and Renee speak about the importance of decreasing inflammation in your body to enjoy the efforts of biohacking. 90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

They joked that he was doing bizarre things in the living room. Their dad was experimenting and open to ways that affect his biology, health, and longevity. He would utilize vibration plates and infrared saunas way before they became popular. Eventually, they started paying attention to their own bodies and started to notice what biohacks work best with their bodies. “Now I'm 34, and I feel better now than I did when I was 24.” -Renee [10:15] Renee and Lauren Give Their Definitions of Biohacking The definition of biohacking changes all of the time. In fact, there's a lot of misconceptions about biohacking. However, biohacking is more for women than men because women are more complex. Biohacking is disrupting a pattern. It also is anything that helps you control your biology. Plus, biohacking can come from two different directions. You can biohack your way out of an illness, or you biohack your way into a thriving lifespan. Biohacking will optimize the aging process. [15:00] Why Stabilizing Blood Sugar Levels Is Important For Losing Weight We have stressors coming at us left and right, not just from food but from emotional stuff and environmental stuff. Renee and Lauren have both really gotten into the blood glucose testing because it is a huge variable that's overlooked. We are designed to be fat-burning machines and go extended periods of time without food. Just like you need exercise recovery, you need recovery from eating. Blood sugar is a sign that there's inflammation in the body. Nothing in the body will be in balance if there is inflammation. When we have too much glucose, we end up storing more fat that we end up burning. [17:20] All About Increasing Thermogenesis In The Body We rarely experience extreme temperatures. When we hit cold temperatures, it helps us to tap into the fat to actually burn. Shivering and cold plunges can increase your thermogenesis – your ability to burn fat to keep you warm. Green tea extract is a supplement that can also help increase your thermogenesis. Humans had to learn how to survive in thirty-degree weather. If we use these genes to our benefit, we can become fat-burning machines. [19:00] How To Support Fatty Acid Metabolism & Why It’s Critical A lot of people have mitochondrial dysfunction. Sadly, our mitochondria are under attack. With mitochondrial dysfunction, you're not able to burn fat the way that we're designed to. Carnitine can be really helpful in adjusting th

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Kara Collier, RDN, LDN, CNSC. Kara is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist (LDN), and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC) who specializes in glucose control and metabolism.

She started her career in nutrition by working in the ICU. Many people came into the ICU for lifestyle-related chronic conditions. For instance, people would be in the ICU due to an urgent amputation because of uncontrolled diabetes. At the ICU, Kara would see really severe problems that could have been prevented in the first place. So, Kara wanted to catch these issues way earlier in a way that was meaningful. After discovering CGMs, Kara realized how powerful of a tool they are for multiple reasons: They give us continuous insight into our metabolic health. CGMs are motivating for people. Lastly, the data you receive is personalized and actually works! [06:35] What You Need To Know Before Getting A CGM The CGM is a small device, about the size of a quarter. It’s a medical device, so you need a prescription in order to receive it from your doctor. Sadly, they're most likely not going to do it unless you're a diabetic case. If you're generally a healthy person who wants to stay healthy, the chances of your doctor writing you a prescription is slim to none. The device goes on the back of the arm, you push the button, and it’s in there. It uses a needle for insertion. The needle is removed, and the only thing that's left below the surface of your skin is a flexible microfilament. The devices are factory calibrated, so there's no blood needing to be drawn. [10:45] What Should Your Blood Glucose Levels Be? When you’re thinking about fasting glucose, Kara recommends 70 to 90 range milligrams per deciliter. If you Google, “what's a healthy fasting glucose level?” It will probably tell you 70 to 100. There is research that indicates when we get to that 90 to 100 range, we're starting to see some increased risks. Shoot for 70 – 90 most of the time. After a meal, we want to see it returned back to baseline values, usually in that two-hour mark. Check how high your levels went after you ate – aim for 140 or less. On a keto diet, it shouldn’t go above 120. [15:00] Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses And Non-Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses After Exercise Our glucose can spike, and our body can deal with that glucose spike without utilizing insulin. The spike we get from exercise happens after a very high-intensity workout, or you're doing something rather strenuous. It makes sense that you're going to have a glucose spike because your current supply of energy in the body is not enough to meet the demands that you're placing it under. With exercise, we're simulating stress hormones, but we're also breaking down glycogen stores. The exercise is demanding energy, and it's getting used right away. The reason your body is stimulating a glucose response with high-intensity exercise is that it needs it. [20:35] When You Are Chronically Sleep Deprived, You Will Have Higher Levels of Cortisol The Next Morning When we think about optimizing glucose values, we always talk about diet, exercise, stress, and sleep; they're equal components of the picture. Sleep is something we really have to pay attention to. Poor glucose levels will affect the quality of

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Sonya Jensen. She has been working with women for over a decade, inspiring them to be the best versions of themselves and helping them gain freedom from the chains of society, their hormones, and the mantra that continuously plays in so many of their minds, I'm not enough. Dr. Jensen has made it clear that healing hormones isn't just a job for the physical body but the heart, mind, and even the soul. The experiences a woman has from the womb onward, dictate her thoughts and beliefs about herself and life. These beliefs, in turn, dictate the actions and communication pathways of her hormones, creating her personality and, therefore, creating her life. Dr. Jensen details the science behind hormones and the wisdom behind womanhood, illustrating how the dance between the two makes way for either a woman's healing or her suffering. In this episode, Dr. Jensen dives deep into her trauma story and how she felt victimized as a child. Luckily, Dr. Jensen turned her life around and started to feel hopeful and empowered. Dr. Jensen speaks about the inspiration behind her book, Woman Unleashed: Release Your Story, Revive Your Hormones & Reclaim Your Freedom. Plus, we dive into how trauma can start before the womb and what you can do if you’re feeling symptoms that may be related to your past traumas. Finally, tune in as we chat about healing your body and how keto should line up with your menstrual cycle. 90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

[00:50] How Dr. Jensen Went From Being Victimized By Her life To Feeling Empowered At age 13, Dr. Jensen didn't have a lot of control. She did not feel free to be herself or think the way she wanted to think and express that fully. At the moment, Dr. Jensen was crying and crying. Earlier in the day, Dr. Jensen’s mother had read her journal. Sadly, Dr. Jensen started to recognize that nothing was hers. Her mind, her body, and her thoughts were not hers. Jensen found a safety pin and carved “I hate life” into her arm. All of a sudden, something shifted; Dr. Jensen realized that she didn’t need to be a victim. [05:05] The Inspiration Behind Woman Unleashed: Release Your Story, Revive Your Hormones & Reclaim Your Freedom Through Dr. Jensen’s own healing with her traumas that she’s been through and navigating healing for women, Dr. Jensen realized that this conversation isn't happening enough. We do not understand that our history, our thoughts about ourselves, our belief systems, and the things that we have been told since being in the womb will influence our health today. The more we speak about trauma, the easier it becomes for women and men to understand that healing is possible, that the potential is there, and hope is there. We're a culture of wanting always to move away from our pain and needing ways to distract ourselves and discount ourselves. “The more we dive into ourselves and discover ourselves, we understand that there's just this vast potential of connection there and healing.” -Dr. Jensen [07:00] How We Are Sentient Before Conception And In The Womb Jensen recommends reading The Secret Life of Babies: How Our Prebirth and Birth Experiences Shape Our World: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Life-Babies-Prebirth-Experiences/dp/1583948031/benazadi-20 When we're in the womb, we're listening and understanding. Around 18 to 19 weeks, the auditory system is there and is trying to figure out what the world will be like when we're outside of the womb. Plus, we're getting information from all the hormones that our mother is secreting. Our brains are all developed for survival. If we don't fit into the tribe that we're moving into, it will be really hard to survive. The brain and the body are so smart that they're going to mold themselves to fit in. [08:50] Understanding And Treating Traumatic Stress & The Scope Of Its Impact On Society Another recommendation from Dr. Jensen is The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/B08TX585

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Mollie McGlocklin. Mollie is on a mission to change the conversation around sleep. She is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, a company that optimizes how people sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. Her obsession with sleep came after “scratching her own itch” when her lifelong poor sleep habits progressed to a challenging bout of insomnia. With a background in psychology & human behavior, she went deep down the rabbit hole to solve her sleep disturbances. She became fascinated with chronobiology, and by extension, its practical applications to restore a state of homeostasis to sleep. For the past three years, she’s traveled the world testing sleep quality in different environments across the globe. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without; she’s dedicated to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep. In this episode, Mollie opens the show by explaining why she is at the forefront of the sleep renaissance. After suffering from insomnia and getting prescribed sleep medication, Mollie needed to figure out what else she could do to fix the root issue. Mollie explains what you can do if you are currently taking a sleep medication. Luckily, there are many ways to train your circadian rhythm and get consistent sleep daily. Tune in as Mollie explains why sleep will help on your weight loss journey and improve cognitive performance, and she reveals practical sleep tips that you can utilize today. 90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

[00:55] Why Mollie Wanted To Be At The Forefront of The Sleep Renaissance Mollie created Sleep Is A Skill to solve her own problems with sleep. It wasn’t until Mollie went through a period of insomnia that she knew something needed to change. After learning about chronobiology, circadian rhythm optimization, structuring the day, and how it could make a difference with her sleep, it absolutely changed the course that Mollie was on. After learning all this cool stuff about sleep, it’s all that Mollie could talk about. So, she organically started helping people that were struggling with their sleep. [06:30] What To Do If You Are Currently Taking A Sleep Medication There are so many elements that can certainly impact our sleep results. Environmental is one of the most significant changes that we can make. We need to learn about the management of our environment from the moment we wake up until we go to bed. You can train your circadian rhythm and strengthen it. When you train your circadian rhythm, you will be able to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. Consistency is critical for overall sleep hygiene. [12:00] How Sleep Plays A Role In Your Weight Loss Journey If you’re not sleeping well, glucose levels are oscillating at a higher level. Hight glucose levels will make it more challenging to resist temptations throughout the day when we're running on that period of even acute sleep deprivation. When you throw off the time you go to sleep and the time you wake up, then you are throwing off your fasting windows and your feeding windows. When we start having inconsistent timing of when we're eating, then that can throw off a confusing series of triggers to the body. Also, we won’t be getting enough recovery time if we aren’t sleeping well. [18:00] Getting Better Sleep Will Help You Focus And Improve Cognitive Performance Glymphatic drainage happens in the brain from the first part of your night. It cleans out cellular waste from the day. Getting enough sleep will possibly help battle Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. If you ever have a great night of sleep, you most likely wake up excited and ready to tackle the day. This is a feeling you can reproduce night after night. Sleep is great for productivity. It’s a hack that even poker players use. [20:50] Practical Sleep Tips You Can Start To Utilize Today Look at what is not helping with your sleep hygiene. Some people tend to be very busy and stressed throughout their day. Adding on a business partner or virtual assist

[00:30] All About John Schott & How He Started In The Health Space John’s story has always been about helping humanity. On John’s health journey, he explored vegetarian diets and vegan diets. In fact, he was vegan for almost seven years. One day, John found peace and realized that the only thing you need is to love. It made him double down on the practice of wellness, health, and vitality. The concept of health is so important and so fascinating that John is still passionate about it after all these years. The health space is a great place to be right now because a lot of people are waking up to it finally. [12:00] How To Use A Foam Roller And Lacrosse Ball Properly Hamstrings usually get very tight. So, put the lacrosse ball on a hard chair under the most tender points of the hamstring, and let your muscles sink into it. As you sink into it the ball, you're basically pinning that trigger point. Also, you will be alleviating the calcium deposit. Sawing away at a foam roller is not the best approach. Instead, use the pin and shear method on your foam roller. Using a foam roller or lacrosse ball is better after a workout rather than before. [20:50] Why John Wanted To Write A Book About Covid Honestly, John didn’t want to write a book about Covid. However, the book is what we need because of Covid. When John says Rewilding Covid, it means taking your health into your own hands. Rewilding means tuning ourselves back into the wild aspect of what makes us a real human. Plus, it means that you're mimicking basically what our ancestors did naturally. For John, being wild means having freedom. Ideally, we will all wind up being in control of our spirit. “We are wild humans at heart.” -John Schott [31:40] The Power of Human Adaptability During Covid The one thing that we can control is how we interact with

Today, I am blessed to have for a second time Drew Manning. Drew is the New York Times best-selling author of Fit2Fat2Fit: The Unexpected Lessons from Gaining and Losing 75 lbs on Purpose and has for years been a leading voice in the burgeoning Keto Diet movement. Drew is also the creator of the A&E Show Fit to Fat to Fit and the host of The Fit2Fat2Fit Experience podcast. With over a million social media followers, Drew continues to transform people's lives all around the world. Known for his straightforward and empathetic fitness and health coaching, Drew has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, CNN, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, The View, and MSNBC, among other media outlets. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his daughters, who remind him every day not to take things too seriously. In this episode, Drew talks about his first two Fit2Fat2Fit experiments. He reveals what the most challenging aspects of gaining 75 pounds and losing it again were. As a personal trainer, Drew realized that he was totally wrong in his approach to helping people transform. In reality, life's emotional and mental side has way more impact on our physical transformations than we realize. Later, Drew talks about the importance of becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable on any transformational journey. Tune in as Drew answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners at the end of the show.

[02:20] All About Drew’s First Fit2Fat2Fit Experiment In 2011, Drew did his first Fit2Fat2Fit experiment. As a personal trainer, Drew had never once been overweight a day in his life. However, Drew’s clients were overweight pretty much every day of their life. Unfortunately, Drew couldn't understand why it's so hard for them to follow the meal plans and do the workouts that he gave them. So, Drew went on a journey to gain a better understanding of what it was like to be overweight, and he put on 75 pounds in six months. Drew learned that he was totally wrong in his approach to helping people transform. [10:05] Dealing With A Breakup Was The Hardest Part of Fit2Fat2Fit Drew and his girlfriend broke up during the Fit2Fat2Fit experiment. Many people ask if the breakup was because of this journey, and the honest truth is no. Sadly, they had problems before the journey even started. However, the problems were amplified because of Drew’s unhealthy physical state, which affected his emotional state. When you’re unhealthy, your ability to handle stress is severely diminished. Plus, you're more reactive, and you're in survival mode. Overall, unhealthy living causes a lot more issues in whatever relationship you're in, whether it’s romantic, friendships, or family. After the breakup, Drew was sad, lonely, and depressed. It was the hardest part of the journey for Drew. [18:20] The Transition Back To ‘Fit’ After Gaining So Much Weight Drew made the transition back to being ‘fit’ cold turkey. He flipped the switch and went completely keto. Drew was excited, but he did not underestimate the power of withdrawal symptoms. Drew’s body would almost fight back against him with cravings to eat the processed food because he had trained it for so long to eat that. Thousands of people signed up to follow Drew on his journey, so that’s what motivated him to keep going. Community is a powerful tool on any journey of wellness. [21:55] Physical Transformation Is Way More Emotional Than We Think The stresses of life don't go away when you're on a physical weight loss journey. If you're not prepared to deal with the emotional challenges that have been holding you back from living that healthy physical lifestyle, then transformation will not be manageable. You need new thought patterns so you can actually have success on the physical transformation side. If we can give people tools on the emotional side, then they will be able to handle physical transformations. [26:00] The Importance of Becoming Comfortable In Uncomfortable Situations Here are some tools to help strengthen the mental side of your transformation: Make your bed every single day. Take a cold shower for 60 seconds. Write a daily gratitude list. Say positive affirmations each day. These things can be uncomfortable f

Today, I am blessed to have a second-time interview with celebrity trainer, entrepreneur, and author, Thomas DeLauer. Thomas was hyper-focused on his business… a successful business at that, but he was afraid to step away or divert in any way towards anything else. As a result, he was overweight. The only thing that getting healthy would do would shift time away from what mattered to him most (money and providing for his family). He had the hard-wiring to be excellent at both physical performance and business… They could complement each other. He became obsessed with homing in on exactly what made him an excellent businessperson. Thomas applied discipline and knowledge to his health and made some promises to himself. In a rather short amount of time, he went from being 280 lbs to 185 lbs and on the covers of some of the largest health and fitness magazines in the world. Now, he writes for some of the largest fitness publications in the world as an expert in diet, nutrition, and mindset. Thomas became a coach after he knew that he could provide what was needed to get the world’s best businesspeople the results that they need to be a better spouse, feel better, perform better, and increase their bottom line. The best part is so much of this can be done without dramatically changing your life, and seeing the optimization take place in his clients is sincerely the reason he continues to do this. Nowadays, Thomas lives in Santa Barbara, CA with his wife, four dogs, and three horses. They enjoy an active, outdoor life that allows them to optimize every aspect of their lives. In this episode, Thomas DeLauer opens the show explaining why you shouldn't eat keto all of the time. If you eat keto for too long, you will eventually become glucose intolerant, and you aren't going to oxidize glucose as efficiently. Thomas dives into the difference between fat-adaptation vs. keto-adaptation and which one you should try and obtain. Plus, Thomas explains what the Gibbs Free Energy Equation has to do with keto, and we also talk about "healthy" keto foods to avoid and how much protein you really should be eating.

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [02:20] Why You Shouldn’t Eat Keto All of The Time If you eat keto for too long without ever switching, then you're going to get dependent on keto, and you're going to become somewhat intolerant. People go hardcore keto, and they don't take adequate time off of it. When you do that, you lose a lot of the mitochondrial machinery to process glucose. Eventually, you will become glucose intolerant, and you will not oxidize glucose as efficiently. Some keto people have a "cheat" meal, and they will feel like garbage. If you eat a sweet potato, you shouldn’t feel like garbage. In fact, carbs aren’t bad for you. The overconsumption of carbs has messed us up. [07:35] Fat-Adaptation VS. Keto-Adaptation: What’s The Difference? Fat-adaptation is where your body knows how to oxidize fat. Your body understands how to use free fatty acids as a fuel source. Keto-adaptation is where some of your fatty acids go to the liver, and the liver converts them into ketones. Someone that is an endurance athlete can be fat-adapted but not necessarily keto-adapted. Keto is how long you're actually exposing yourself to beta-hydroxybutyrate. The goal is really to get keto-adapted. [09:40] What You Need To Know About The Gibbs Free Energy Equation When you produce energy within the brain you always have an abundance of free energy used for other things. That extra energy will get channeled somewhere else. Ketones burn so much cleaner, so you're left with more energy. You have less energy that is getting oxidized and less energy, ultimately resulting in oxidative damage and more energy available – free energy! Ketones produce about 27% more energy via this Gibbs energy equation versus glucose. [11:45] Why The Hormetic Curve Is So Important To Achieve The hormetic stressors in our life happen on a daily basis, whether we realize them or not. When we keep stressing our bodies, they start to adapt to that stress. Take exercise, for instance, you have progressively more intense workouts, and you get progressively stronger as an adaptation. However, if you push yourself too hard, you're going to get yourself sick. This equation

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Practitioner, Founder, and Owner of Metabolic Solutions LLC, Brendan Dean Vermeire. Brendan has always been an extremely motivated individual and grew up active in martial arts and wrestling among dabbling in other activities.At a young age, he realized the importance of fitness and nutrition. Brendan felt empowered by the idea that he had control over his health and physique. Brendan enlisted in the United States Navy for the prestigious SEAL program. Unfortunately, his SEAL aspirations were cut short due to an inguinal hernia that led to a medical discharge. Brendan transitioned into competitive bodybuilding and started personal training and nutrition coaching at the age of 19. When he started in the industry, he had the pleasure of working with experienced professionals with a vast array of backgrounds and education. Brendan was fortunate enough to gain exposure to many modalities and areas of science.Being an extremely motivated individual, that exposure has set him on a path to learning as much as he can to optimize human health, happiness, and performance. There is nothing more rewarding to me than being able to help individuals attain a level of wellness they never thought possible. In this episode, Brendan Vermeire talks all about mold and mold illness diagnosis. First, he dives into the importance of fungus for our planet and its role in our ecosystem. Then, Brendan explains how to know if you are living with mold in your home and what you can do when you discover mold in your environment. Later, Brendan reveals his personal story with mold illness. Finally, the conversation turns to EMF radiation and how you can protect yourself.

Fungus has been on planet Earth a lot longer than humans have. How much fungal overgrowth do you have in your body? It can be a spectrum. Whereas mainstream doctors want you to believe that it’s all or nothing. Here are some other questions you need to consider when thinking about mold illness: How many mycotoxins might be trapped in your tissues? How much mold exposure are you getting? How resilient is your body against mold? How robust are your detox systems and immune system? [11:50] How To Know If You Are Living With Mold Fungi feeds on carbohydrates and rotting material. Something you should consider is the role of fungi in the natural world. Fungi will break down dead carbon-based material to recycle nutrients back to the soil. Overall, it plays a very important role in our ecosystem. In fact, fungi seem to be a normal part of our gut microbiome. It trains our immune system and matures our immune system. Most people will find mold in their living environment. The US Environmental Protection Authority developed ERMI to provide a straightforward way to assess mold and indoor air quality investigations. Learn more about ERMI here: https://www.envirobiomics.com/product/ermi/ We have to think about the degree of mold exposure in the environment, the frequency, and the mold load. [20:25] What To Do If You Know You Have Mold In Your Home There's a very fine line between creating a problem where there isn't one versus identifying a healing opportunity where there is one. We are all exposed to a lot of bad things every single day. So, we can't make it sound like if you're at all exposed, you're going to be ill. The biggest thing you need to think about is if you have symptoms. However, if you're living in a compromised environment, it's probably just a matter of time before you do start developing symptoms. The first option is to remediate and reduce the fungal load to improve the home's air quality. Otherwise, it would be best if you moved out of your home.

One day, Brendan’s fiancé at the time woke up with an unrelenting cramp. Eventually, she became emaciated. Brendan had fatigue, and it compounded his depressive tendencies. Unfortunately, Brendan’s fiancé was the canary in the coal mine. Sadly, they ended up separating because it became such a toxic and volatile situ

Conventional treatment for diabetes has been wrong for many years. Dr Benjamin Bikman explains the real cause of diabetes, and how to naturally reverse diabetes and insulin resistance through diet changes. RELATED VIDEOS: How to REVERSE INSULIN RESISTANCE (5 Easy Ways) https://youtu.be/CfG8rAyJ5vs What is The Cause of Insulin Resistance? Foods That Lower Insulin With Dr Benjamin Bikman: https://youtu.be/oJiuFDrdS6M Type 2 diabetes symptoms result in higher levels of glucose. Is the solution glucose reducing medications such as insulin? Dr Benjamin Bikman makes the case that medication for diabetes is not getting to the cause. The proper diabetes type 2 diet plan meals should include foods that do not spike glucose and insulin that much. This is why the keto diet and intermittent fasting can be a great way to overcome this lifestyle disease. Purchase Dr Benjamin Bikman's latest book Why We Get Sick: https://amzn.to/3foRBE9 Dr. Benjamin Bikman studies diabetes and obesity, and much of what he focuses on is a seemingly obscure condition called insulin resistance. But it's, in fact, not very obscure at all. What is insulin resistance? Why did Dr. Benjamin Bikman devote his career to studying something like this? Well, insulin resistance is essentially two things. First of all, some cells in your body aren't responding very well to the hormone insulin. Second, you have more insulin than you did before, a condition called hyperinsulinemia. Dr. Bikman's research focus is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that mediate the disruption that causes and accompanies metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. Driven by his academic training (Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and postdoctoral fellowship with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders), he is currently exploring the different roles of insulin and ketones as critical drivers of metabolic function. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings.

No. 2: Disruptions in energy production due to mitochondria failure. No. 3: Problems with metabolic pathways, especially the sirtuins, AMPK, and mTOR pathways. No 4: Quality control problems that affect DNA and protein repair. No. 5: Inflammatory issues due to a faulty immune system. No. 6: Not fulfilling the needs of specific cells. No. 7: Incomplete waste management. Boost the immune system with the following... Quercitin circumin, egcg, Zinc vitamin D What's the basis of the Kaufmann Protocol? For every anti-aging agent I've identified, I've created a numerical system that rates it on a 0 to 3 scale for each of the seven categories of cell aging in the order I've already listed. For example, resveratrol and its more bioavailable cousin, pterostilbene, hits every category, carrying a Kaufmann Rating score of 2.3.3.3.2.2 for a total of 15. Carnosine, a dipeptide, has a Kaufmann Rating of 0.3.0.0.0.0.3 for six points. There are also beneficial epigenetic modifiers, such as sulforaphane, resveratrol and curcumin. So you can affect your genes positively by eating good things. What are metabolic pathways and how do they influence aging? Moving on to mitochondria…why do you call these little power stations "a necessary evil?" Fortunately, there are several things that can help the mitochondria out: astaxanthin, curcumin, quercetin, resveratrol or pterostilbene, and nicotinamide. When too many mitochondria are damaged, energy production drops, which affects all of the other categories and is why old people tend to feel tired a lot. You'll also learn the following...

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Evan Transue. Evan had a secret, and that secret was his mental health problems. Starting as young as five years old, Evan was experiencing full-blown panic attacks. His parents and family doctor were left with confusion about his symptoms, and as a result, these issues were unintentionally forgotten about. As time went on, his mental health issues progressed. Evan was embarrassed of what he was experiencing, so he did his best to hide his problems from friends and family (at least, whenever possible). The more he hid, the worse the problems got, and the worse the problems got, the more he tried to hide them. Eventually, Evan even used drugs and alcohol to try to cope with what he was dealing with. It was a bad cycle that he would not be able to maintain forever. During his senior year of high school, everything would change. While trying to stop abusing drugs on a daily basis, Evan "snapped" and got himself involved in an altercation that would result in him being arrested, kicked out of school, and spending his 18th birthday on house arrest. He still wouldn't admit it, but his actions made it clear to everyone around him that he was not doing well. The only person he was lying to was himself. A few months later, Evan would have what he calls his "aha" moment. This was the moment he gained a new perspective on his situation, realizing that if he never took the first initiative, things were never going to get better. ​Over the next several years following this decision, Evan would finally discover a resolution to his mental health issues (and his physical health issues, too)! He learned about how our modern lifestyles are greatly affecting our bodies and minds, and this is especially true for our youth. He would end up getting multiple certifications in functional and natural healthcare, and still expands on his education to this day. In this episode, Evan tells us about many different topics that affect mental health. We discuss nutrient changes to make right now, all the way to applying three key influences for your health: mindset, food, and light. In between, he explains how exercise and food sensitivities can also affect mental and overall health. Last, Evan explains what an autoimmune disease is and how those with autoimmune diseases can manage their health.

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [07:19] Nutrient Changes To Make Right Now To Impact Mental Health Evan realized in his journey that even though you aren't getting fat, it doesn't mean that you can just eat whatever you want. The first step Evan recommends is to make sure your diet has enough high-quality protein. Vitamins are also essential, but they are also specific to each person. So, taking a test to figure out what vitamins would be most beneficial to you would be best. Otherwise, a high-quality multivitamin and getting enough B & D vitamins are a great start to cover your bases. [10:46] The Role Exercise And Movement Have In Mental Health Depression and mental illness are almost self-fulfilling prophecies. They get us to do things that worsen the depression. How do you think you're going to feel if you stop exercising and lay in bed all day? Probably not great. Well, depression encourages most people to do those exact things. Don't underestimate the fundamentals. Getting outside and moving your body, together or separately, has been found to make people feel better. Do what makes you feel better, whatever it is. [14:11] Assimilating Nutrients In The Gut Playing around with the gut when we don't know what is causing issues can be uncomfortable; it can provoke outcomes that you do not want. So, the best way to start working on your gut is to have testing done first to figure out the root of your issues. With that being said, the best test to get you started on your gut health journey is a GI map test. It uses PCR DNA testing to be able to find very specific issues. But, if testing is unavailable to you, the best way to start is to cut things out and see how the difference makes you feel. Cutting out gluten can make a huge difference, as well as taking a 60-90 day break from sugar and/or dairy. [20:27] Gut Issues? Symptoms Of A Food Sensitivity Something that makes food sensitivities so confusing is that

It has to do with the way that you're viewing the world and your perspective. If you could adjust the rate of vibration in which your eye perceives someone or yourself in the mirror, you'd see a running mass of electrons, protons, neutrons, and light; you wouldn't see a body. When you realize this is an energy system through which you create, you start to realize that you create according to the content of this energy system. And this energy system that we call, or at least one aspect of it that we call a body-mind unit, is literally a multi-generational database that holds everything that's going on in our whole bloodline. There are energies that support this life force and energies that will destroy us. [12:45] The Definition of Life: Love Is Flowing Through Our Cells Life is love flowing through a cell. Anything we do to restrict that, physically, mentally, emotionally, is going to create disease processes. In the ancient Aramaic, where there was a disease process going on, there was a solution to that disease process, and the solution was forgiveness. Now, you'll notice that the Greeks have taught us that forgiveness is this thing that is really nice for me to do because of course, it's all your fault. That is a total fraud. Letting someone “off the hook” will not resolve your pain and trauma. [20:36] How Still Point Relieves Mental And Emotional Stress When people are in disturbance or upset, the first thing they do is shut down their breath. When you shut down your breath, yo

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.

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

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 L

Avoid these foods if you want a long healthy life, avoid these foods to lose weight and increase your energy.

This includes whole wheat bread. Is wheat bread good for you? No. A study published in Wheat Belly by Dr William Davis showed two slices of wheat bread spiked glucose in the blood as much as a 12 ounce can of soda or snickers bar. 03:24​ The second diet mistake that is making you fat. Eating farmed seafood instead of wild caught seafood. Consuming wheat bread is one of the biggest diet mistakes for losing weight. Farmed fish contains high amounts of PCB's. When you consume this, it increases inflammation and cancer risk. PCB's are a known carcinogen. This is why farmed fish are foods that cause cancer, especially when you consume it in excess. 04:30​ These foods cause inflammation (Food Number 3): Corn & Soy. They are typically GMO and loaded with pesticides and herbicides. Not good. Soy can also be estrogenic which is why it's one of the foods that cause inflammation. 05:30​ This is probably the worst food on the list... vegetable oils! Vegetable oils such as canola oil, soybean oil, grape-seed oil and the others listed in this video cause belly fat and disease through inflammation. Some studies suggest these foods can cause inflammation around your cells for 6-12 months! The best foods to eat to lose weight instead of these bad fats, are healthy fats such as coconut oil, olive oil, grass fed butter/ghee, avocado oil and the other healthy foods listed in the video. These foods are the best meal plan to lose fat faster. 10:00​ Are artificial sweeteners bad for you? You decide! Several studies suggest artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose cause inflammation in the digestive tract, leading to weight loss resistance. Sucralose studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10882...​ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...​ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24944...​ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15111...​ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...​ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...​ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science...​ 12:00​ Your thoughts are like food.
