The Ben Azadi Show

Today, I am blessed to have Sara Banta, a Health Coach and busy mother of three whose children are now 14, 16, and 18 years old. Sara completed her undergraduate studies at Stanford University with a degree in Economics and Psychology in 1998. In 2016, she graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and The Invincible Wellness System. Through her journey, she has had to solve many health issues within her family, including her son suffering from leukemia at the age of nine, her daughter having allergies, anemia, and asthma, her husband having heart issues, her other daughter having comprehension and learning issues, in addition to headaches. This, of course, is on top of her own issues with fertility, hormones, adult acne, IBS, digestive issues, heavy metals and much more. She has had to connect the dots and realize what was causing all these issues and what the solutions were, which also of course involved the mind-body connection. A lot of the same solutions that heal the gut or the brain are the solutions that help achieve weight loss, improve fitness and restore metabolic health. With that, she has devoted her life to providing guidance and all-natural health supplements and solutions that heal the body and the root problems, not just addressing the symptoms. In this episode, Sara Banta opens the show by sharing her and her son's health journey. After her son's leukemia diagnosis, Sara's family went on a massive health journey. Eventually, that journey led Sara to create Accelerated Health Products to help other people heal. Plus, Sara speaks about how keto can be used as a health tool, and she gives hacks on how to avoid the keto flu. Later, we talk about frequency-based healing and the ways that Accelerated Scalar Silver can change your life. Tune in as Sara reveals the importance of overcoming iodine deficiency and why you need to try the Genius Insight Biofeedback App. SPECIAL OFFER: JOIN THE KETO KAMP ACADEMY FOR 50% OFF.

She had zero energy, and her stomach was bloated with food. Doctors couldn’t give her any answers. After finding a natural practitioner, she realized that healing would involve a mind-body connection. Later, Sara found out her son had leukemia. Sara decided to put all of her energy into healing her son. Doctors simply don’t have the time to help everyone heal. After cutting the processed foods and sugars, Sara and her son were on a healing journey together. Eventually, Sara created Accelerated Health Products to help other people heal: https://acceleratedhealthproducts.com/ahp/ketokamp/ use the coupon code KETOKAMP15 for 15% off. [19:20] Using Keto As A Health Tool A lot of people progress from paleo to keto. That way, you won’t hit the keto flu as much. Also, endogenous ketones are a great tool to get yourself into ketosis without the keto flu. Intermittent fasting is essential to incorporate in a ketogenic lifestyle; that way, ketosis is easier to achieve. Sara focuses on supplements and tools to get her into ketosis quicker. Most people walk around with leaky gut. It's easy to have with the toxins that we are exposed to daily. On Sara’s keto journey, she realized that she and her children are all individuals, needing different diets. Even though Sara is on keto, she has a challenging time processing fat. Sara will focus on high protein. She eats less fat than a typical person who is on keto. You don’t need to be in ketosis 24/7, especially for females. Going in and out of ketosis will be helpful for the metabolism. [25:50] About Frequency-Based Healing There are frequency-based machines that can heal the human body. For instance, the Genius Insight Biofeedback App is a great tool. It combines a patented Voice Spectral Analysis together with a series of highly effective alternative healing modalities.

Discover how many calories you should eat on a keto diet to lose weight. You'll also learn how to calculate keto macros for weight loss, and why focusing on cellular membrane inflammation is more important than how many calories you eat on the ketogenic diet to lose body fat. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off 👇👇👇 RELATED VIDEOS: 10 Part Keto Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B5m3... ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎓 Join the Keto Kamp Membership for only $5!: http://www.startketokamp.com A lot of you are wondering if you should count calories on keto. This video reveals that calories do matter, but they aren't important. Focusing on calories is a distraction to what truly matters, hormones and cell metabolism. What Ben Azadi, founder of Keto Kamp, teaches is to focus on the two macros instead, carbohydrates and protein. Keep your total carbohydrates below 50 grams for the day. Of course, you want these keto carb macros to be from high quality sources. Aim to consume 40-50 grams of quality animal protein with each meal. When you pair intermittent fasting with keto, you most likely will end up cutting calories; but, there's a big difference when you do it with fasting vs not. This video explains the difference as it comes down to counter regulatory hormones. ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎓 Join the Keto Kamp Membership for only $5!: http://www.startketokap.com / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off// R E S O U R C E S ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ➡️The World's Best Olive Oil | Get a $39 Bottle For a $1: http://www.ketokampoliveoil.com ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off ➡️Keto Kamp Apparel: http://www.ketokampgear.com *Some Links Are Affiliates* // F O L L O W ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

It is estimated that autophagy starts during the 16 hour mark of a fast, this is also dependent on whether or not you go into the fast in ketosis or not. When you go into your fast being in ketosis, you'll activate autophagy faster. On your autophagy fasting days, when you do eat to break the fast, it is important to keep total protein for the day under 20 grams. This is the time to increase your healthy fats. Here are my favorite fats to break your autophagy fast with... Grass fed butter or ghee Coconut oil Olives and olive oil Avocados Nut butters Here are 2 ways to practice autophagy fasting during the week. Option #1 An 18/6 autophagy fasting schedule This means 18 hours out of the 24 hour period you are in the fasted state. You only consume water with sea salt here. You break the fast with mostly fasts. Then have your two meals within your 6 hour eating window. The first meal should have less than 20 grams of total protein. The second meal at the 24 hour mark is where you consume the rest of your protein which will stop the autophagy. I like this method 2-3 times per week, depending on how much extra body fat you have on you. Option #2 A 32/16 autophagy fasting schedule This approach is more aggressive, and is best for those with more than 20 pounds of excess body weight that you want to lose. Here's how it works... 32 hour fast with only water and sea salt. You break the fast with mostly fasts, keeping total protein here under 20 grams. The following meal will be 4 hours later where you can consume more protein. This can be done 1-2 times per week. It is important to balance autophagy with mTor, and I explain the difference between these two pathways in this video. ⏱️ The Art of Fasting Webinar.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me an investigative science and health journalist and co-founder of the non-profit Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI.org), Gary Taubes. He is the author of The Case Against Sugar (2016), Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It (2011), and Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007), published as The Diet Delusion in the UK. Taubes is the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research and has won numerous other journalism awards. These include the International Health Reporting Award from the Pan American Health Organization and the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Journalism Award, which he won in 1996, 1999, and 2001. (He is the first print journalist to win this award three times.) Taubes graduated from Harvard College in 1977 with an SB degree in applied physics and received an MS degree in engineering from Stanford University (1978) and in journalism from Columbia University (1981). In this episode, Gary Taubes joins the show to speak about his work shining a light on bad science in the nutritional realm. After publishing What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?, Gary faced loads of backlash. However, that didn’t stop him. Gary has published countless books about why we need to ditch carbs, stop eating sugar, and start eating fats. Gary speaks about the inspiration behind his book, The Case For Keto. After interviewing 120 doctors from around the world that recommend the keto lifestyle, his book talks about why the established rules about eating healthy might be the wrong approach to weight loss. Tune in as we talk about why calories in, calories out is a terrible way to lose weight. ⏱️ The Art of Fasting Webinar.

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

That will lead us to behave in ways that don’t align with our core values or vision. People should get clear on what matters to them. Once you have clarity, you can identify what is out of alignment. Next, figure out where your limiting beliefs come from. Usually, they come from your early childhood. Your subconscious programming is set in stone from your first seven years of life. However, you have the ability to rewrite the stories that you tell yourself. No longer do people have to be a victim of their past. [08:10] Stop Comparing Yourself To Others Instead of comparing yourself to others, turn it into inspiration. We compare ourselves to people who are in a completely different space. Everyone progresses at a different level. So, we need to understand our superpowers and our uniqueness. That way, you will understand how the journey is different for everyone. We tend to be our harshest critic. Focus on progress, build confidence, and establish momentum. [13:10] How To Create Your Dream Life The average American is overweight, depressed, and in debt. Average is something that Jeremy stays very far away from. There are six components to creating your dream life: Thoughts Turn off the news Create an affirmation before you go to bed Stop judging yourself so harshly Habits Our habits decide our future Have an accountability checklist Tie every action with a feeling or emotion Relationships It’s powerful to have relationships in your life that level you up People think it’s lonely at the top; however, it doesn’t have to be Find people who inspire you and challenge you Intention Bring more intention and presence into everything you’re doing It will give you a guide on what not to do Be fully present and fully engaged Vitality Your thoughts and habits will either fuel you or strip your energy away What do the first 30 minutes of your day look like? Focused energy and attention is our most valuable commodity Enthusiasm Do what you love Now more than ever, the world needs positive leaders Enthusiasm is more important than knowledge and experience [49:50] Finding Motivation Motivation will get you started. However, motivation is not permanent. Motivation is a product of momentum. To establish momentum, stack small habits. Make your first hour and last hour of the day belong to you. Work on journaling. [53:55] Creating Positive Thoughts Find the source of your negative thoughts. They come from somewhere, someone instilled them inside of you. Do the work. It can be uncomfortable. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Ann-Marie Barter, a chiropractor who serves Niwot, Longmont, Boulder, Lyons, Louisville, Lafayette and the surrounding communities in the Denver Metro Area. Dr. Ann graduated from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, an accredited 4 year Doctoral program that is considered a leader in evidence-based medicine, and the first Chiropractic school to be awarded a federal research grant. Dr. Ann underwent rigorous clinical training with some of the finest chiropractors. Dr. Ann has also undergone advanced training in Applied Kinesiology, completing over 400 extra classroom hours and is certified to practice Applied Kinesiology. She has also studied Functional Blood Chemistry under Dr. Kharrazian. Dr. Ann also hosts The Fearless Health Podcast. The show is dedicated to all thing’s natural health and wellness. Whether it be alternative and functional medicine, structural, spiritual, or fitness and nutrition, Dr. Ann will cover it based on her experiences in practice over the last ten years or with the help of special guests and curated interviews. In this episode, Dr. Ann talks all about neurotransmitters. First, she explains that neurotransmitters are the messengers in our body; they are crucial to our overall health and happiness. If you're curious about how well your neurotransmitters are working, Dr. Ann recommends getting an Organic Acids Test (OAT) done. Plus, Dr. Ann reveals which supplements she recommends to her patients struggling with dopamine levels. Tune in as we talk about the effect carbs will have on dopamine and why ketosis is so essential for our neurotransmitter health. ⏱️ The Art of Fasting Webinar.

She didn’t feel well, but the doctor told her she was normal. One day, Dr. Ann had terrible stomach pain, she went to a different doctor. It turns out, Dr. Ann’s appendix exploded. Later, Dr. Ann had severe hives that sent her to the emergency room. No one talked to her about diet. So, she sought care from natural providers. They spoke to her about diet, environmental pollutants, and hormones. [05:15] Why Dr. Ann Loves Neurotransmitters Ann meets patients who just can’t change their diets. Person after person, Dr. Ann wanted to know what was going on. She started to run tests on herself and found out her neurotransmitters were in the toilet. Dr. Ann was exposed to black mold, it was contributing to a lot of her problems. When she found the black mold, Dr. Ann moved out. [09:15] About Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters are messengers for your body. They work in the brain and make us feel good. However, they also run digestion, muscle coordination, and other functions. When we think about adrenal health, dopamine shares a pathway with our fight or flight chemicals. It’s associated with our adrenal health. Sometimes when someone is exhausted, it could be dopamine depletion. Dopamine can become depleted for a variety of reasons. Some people do not methylate correctly. Chronic stress can also deplete dopamine. [11:45] How Methylation Works You need certain chemicals to make the dopamine conversion. There is a test to figure out how your pathways are working. If you don’t have the nutrients to run a pathway, it might not be a methylation issue. Make sure that you are running the pathway appropriately. Not having the right nutrients can cause stress. When Dr. Ann runs testing, people are depleted in Vitamin C, B6, and magnesium. It can be as simple as supporting the body with some nutrients so the pathway can run better. [16:15] Getting The Organic Acids Test There are other tests, but Dr. Ann uses an Organic Acids Test. This test is fantastic because it can check for black mold. Before taking the test, do a glutathione challenge. If someone has dopamine depletion, it could be related to something they have been exposed to. [22:00] Recommending Supplements When someone goes to see Dr. Ann, they have poor gut health. That’s why Dr. Ann will recommend supplements. If you are chronically iron deficient, then something in the gut could be creating inflammation. Ann would like to kill critters before supplementing. If you can optimize your gut, you can get the necessary vitamins and minerals through your food. Ann will give a product that has B6, B9, B12, and B2. However, she checks with the individual where they are high and where they are low. [24:40] How Carbs Will Affect Our Dopamine When someone wants carbs to feel satisfied, they could go overboard. Processed carbs make o

In this episode you will discover how to clean up your cells with intermittent fasting through a process called autophagy.

When does autophagy start? I would hypothesize that autophagy is induced around the 16 hour mark of a fast. This also depends on whether or not you go into the fast in ketosis or not. Autophagy has many benefits, one of them is that it activates the clean up of your cells. When the body does not have food, it needs to get energy from somewhere; so it goes for damaged cells, proteins and DNA. 💀 We have cells within our body that begin to dysfunction, and they stick around causing us to age faster. We call them zombie cells — because they refuse to die. 🤬 As they build up in your body, studies suggest, they promote aging and the conditions that come with it like osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease. 🥺 Zombie cells are actually called senescent cells. They start out normal but then encounter a stress, like damage to their DNA or viral infection. At that point, a cell can choose to die or become a zombie, basically entering a state of suspended animation. 😫 The problem is that zombie cells release chemicals that can harm nearby normal cells. That's where the trouble starts. 🧐 Researchers have also shown that transplanting zombie cells into young mice basically made them act older: their maximum walking speed slowed down, and their muscle strength and endurance decreased. Tests showed the implanted cells converted other cells to zombie status. 😔 🛁 One of the best ways to kill off these zombie cells is a process called autophagy. 🧼 😳 Autophagy literally means "eat thy self"; it's the process of cleaning up damaged cells. ✨ Think of the refrigerator you have inside your kitchen. 🧀🥗🥛 🥘 It has groceries that all have an expiration date. What will happen if you let these groceries expire, and instead of throwing the expired food in the trash, you push it toward the back of the fridge? 🤔 🤢 This is going to lead to a toxic environment! Mold, bacteria, and many other disgusting processes will occur. 💯 The human body is like this refrigerator; it has cells, fats, and proteins that all have expiration dates on them. ⏱ If you aren’t intentionally “taking out the trash” so-to-speak, within your body; this can lead to diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 👎🏻 🍽 ⏰ Fasting helps your body get rid of these expired products! Fasting triggers the process of autophagy, which breaks down and recycles dysfunctional proteins, and cellular debris. This is why world-renowned cancer doctor Thomas Seyfried says, “If you complete a seven-day water only fast, once per year, you reduce your chances of getting any cancer by up to 95%!” 😳😳😳 🎓 Join the Keto Kamp Membership for only $5!: http://www.startketokap.com / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off // R E S O U R C E S ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ➡️The World's Best Olive Oil | Get a $39 Bottle For a $1: http://www.ketokampoliveoil.com ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off ➡️Keto Kamp Apparel: http://www.ketokampgear.com *Some Links Are Affiliates* // F O L L O W ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

Here's why... Yes, excess protein can convert into gluconeogenesis inside the body (the creation of sugar), but, if you are in ketosis at the time of consuming the protein, the excess glucose will be used to replenish glycogen stores. This keeps you in a state of ketosis! How much protein converts to glucose? It's true, excess protein turns into glucose. How much protein converts to glucose levels? According to the research of Dr Gabrielle Lyon, about 60% of protein is converted into blood sugars. Will too much protein kick you out of ketosis? As I mentioned above, the excess is used to replenish empty sugar reserves. So the answer is no, most of the time. A common question I have been asked if eating too much protein will cause weight gain, the opposite is true. The next time someone asks you does eating too much protein make you fat, tell them it is almost impossible. I believe eating more protein can help you with weight loss. Protein is also great because it activates satiety hormones which helps you feel full for longer.

USE KETOKAMP AT CHECKOUT FOR A DISCOUNT In this episode, Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart open the show speaking about the four stages of fat adaptation. In the first stage, your body will not be efficient in utilizing ketones. After your body is fat-adapted and you have been following the ketogenic lifestyle, your body will start to hold onto glucose in the muscles. Matt and Wade explain how you can reset your leptin levels by refeeding twice a week. Plus, we talk about when it's essential to pay attention to your ghrelin levels. Tune in as we speak about the importance of fasting, magnesium, and why you should consider having a limited food selection. / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com [02:15] About Matt Gallant Using keto, Matt went from 147 to 235 naturally. There was some fat in that weight gain, but there was also a lot of muscle. Matt became obsessed with bodybuilding and would work out twice a day. [03:45] The Four Stages of Fat Adaptation The Keto Flu Phase When you start keto, your body is not efficient in utilizing ketones for energy. You will not have energy during this phase. Feeling Good You will start to reap the rewards. It’s the right time to cut carbs and boost fat. You want to force your body to become efficient and effective in burning fat as fuel. Start Carb Cycling Start doing some carb refeeds. Bump up protein. This phase will last nine months. Long-Term Keto Exercise performance will be as good as it was on carbs. You hold onto more glucose in the muscle. [17:00] Resetting Your Leptin Levels Matt had lost thirty pounds of body fat. He wanted to lose ten more pounds before his wedding. If you lose weight too fast, then your body will get triggered for survival mode. As soon as your body becomes threatened that it might starve, it will increase your hunger hormone, ghrelin. It’s not a bad thing to experience hunger from time to time. Two refeeds each week are ideal and optimal. It will help you reset leptin. If you refeed for two days, you will regain lost muscle tissue. [37:25] When To Pay Attention To Your Ghrelin When fasting, your body will pump out ghrelin an hour before your typical mealtime is. If you eat at 9 am, then at 8 am, you will get a ghrelin spike. If you skip breakfast for three to five days, then your ghrelin spike will disappear. What makes someone fail a diet is hunger and cravings. When you’re dieting, you’ll be facing some hunger. The way a diet will work is if you can manage the hunger. Most people just quit their diets because of their willpower. What’s the difference between psychological hunger and physiological hunger? Most people’s hunger is psychological. The benefit of fasting and keto is that you can discern the difference between psychological hunger and physiological hunger. There is a benefit to go through hunger phases. [44:10] Following Keto Without A Gallbladder If you are going to attempt keto without a gallbladder, get yourself some medical advice. You can get into a lot of trouble if you mess this up. When you eat something nasty, the damage is going to happen in your liver or gallbladder. If you have a high calcium-based diet, you can impair enzymatic function. [48:30] Breaking Your Fast As A Female Females do better if they break their fast in the morning. Men do better if they break their fast later in the day. Hormones peak and cycle – it can affect your mood, productivity, and your ability to maintain your diet. Females can get into the ghrelin monsters faster than men do. [50:45] The Importance Of Having Less Food Selection Less food selection is much better for a whole bunch of reasons. You are making fewer decisions. There will be fewer cravings. However, don’t eat the same thing every single day. Instead of having forty different meals that you rotate from, maybe have ten or twelve. [53:10] How To Support The Mitochondria The biggest hack you can do is high-inte

The number one health search term on Dr Google this year is... Intermittent fasting! For good reason, fasting is one of the most powerful tools in the health shed... ... when it is done right. Most people who practice fasting do not experience the wonderful benefits it has to offer because they simply don't know the rules. There's 3 things you can do to make intermittent fasting easier so you can accelerate fat loss and increase mental clarity. ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com The first way to make intermittent fasting easier for you is to build up your fasting muscle by getting keto adapted. When the metabolism has the flexibility to shift from burning through its sugar reserves to tapping into fat stores, this accelerates fat loss and the benefits of fasting. The second way to get better results with fasting is for you to use fasting crutches if you need to. There's certain items you can have during a fast, and still maximize it's benefits. Here are my favorite fasting crutches: tea coffee fats bone broth The third way to make fasting easier is to break the fast with mostly protein and fat; not carbohydrates and fat.

Laugh your way to health and fitness with Fitness Confidential and Vinnie Tortorich. In this episode, Vinnie Tortorich joins the show and dives into his background helping Hollywood starlets lose weight. We talk about why Vinnie wouldn't use the word keto during the beginning years of his podcast. Also, Vinnie explains why insulin is so crucial for our bodies to function and the reason why you're not going to get fat by eating fat. Stay tuned as Vinnie gives us the scoop on his movie, Fat: A Documentary.

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

Yes, coffee can be healthy and help with weight loss. Watch for the benefits of adding fats to your coffee, and 3 ways to enhance your coffee. ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off How to Make a Fatty Cup of Coffee (Best Keto Coffee in the World!): https://youtu.be/aRCLnzcFcR4 // TIMESTAMPS 00:49 The number 1 tip: When is the best time to drink coffee? Drinking coffee first thing in the morning does not wake you up, make you alert or give you an energy boost. All it does, according to science, is raise your tolerance for caffeine so that you need to drink more and more of it to feel any effects at all. If you drink coffee when cortisol is high, the effects are almost non-existent. Compared to cortisol, caffeine is weak tea. The only thing coffee does for you within two hours of waking is to increase your tolerance for caffeine. If you drink coffee when cortisol is low, caffeine gently nudges your adrenals to give you a hit of adrenalin and you will feel more awake and alert. Studies in humans have shown that caffeine increases cortisol and epinephrine at rest, and that levels of cortisol after caffeine consumption are similar to those experienced during an acute stress. Compounding the problem, people tend to consume more caffeine during stressful periods. They add stress to stress, potentially making things even worse. Rat studies have shown that caffeine consumption during chronic stress increased cortisol, blood pressure, and other negative hormonal events. Chronically stressed rats who consumed caffeine ended up sicker, and died sooner, than rats experiencing chronic stress without caffeine consumption. Reference from Dr Michael Breaus: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-b... Study on high cortisol from poor sleep: https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar... Caffeine cortisol increase study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti.... 03:15 The number 2 tip: add salt to your coffee. Coffee acts as a diuretic. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19774... My favorite salt is from Redmonds: https://amzn.to/3lEOAR6 04:23 The number 3 tip: Add healthy fats to your coffee. Are you adding butter to your coffee? What are the benefits of bulletproof coffee? Popularized by Dave Asprey as Bulletproof Coffee. By adding fats to your coffee, you are slowing the absorption of the caffeine into your system and prolonging its effects. Balances Insulin & Maintains Blood Sugar Levels: Like the first example, when fats slow down your absorption of coffee it actually helps to prevent sharp insulin spikes and blood sugar crashes. The grass-fed butter or coconut oil will act as a nerve signal traffic cop by slowing the rush hour into an organized, well fueled flow of performance processes, such as the signals being driven from the gut to the liver and the pancreas to the kidneys, and so on. Fatty coffee is a great way to teach your body to utilize fatty acids for fuel, instead of glucose (Sugar). This can satiate you so you don’t eat a high carbohydrate breakfast. Studies show caffeine intake can increase ketones.Study shows caffeine doubled ketone production. Caffeine given at breakfast significantly stimulated ketone production in a dose-dependent manner (+88%; +116%) and also raised plasma free fatty acids. http://bit.ly/2V5NFMu My favorite fats to add to my coffee, grass fed ghee, brain octane oil.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a biohacker, longevity coach, ex-bodybuilder, 13-time Ironman triathlete, professional Spartan competitor, speaker, and author of the New York Times Bestseller “Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health, and Life, Ben Greenfield. Ben leapt hardcore into the fitness world, partnering with physicians and opening a series of personal training studios, gyms, and physiology and biomechanics labs across northern Idaho and eastern Washington, and eventually was voted as America’s top personal trainer in 2008. While building his empire in the brick-and-mortar fitness industry, Ben competed as one of the top-ranked amateur triathletes in the world, completing over 120 races and 12 Ironman triathlons while racing for the elite Team Timex multisport team, winning gold medal for the USA in long course triathlon, and leading squads of swim, bike, and run enthusiasts in guided adventures through Hawaii, Thailand, Japan and beyond. Eventually, Ben became the father of twin sons and pivoted into media, writing, speaking, and consulting, launching one of the world’s first fitness podcasts, becoming a New York Times bestselling author of “Beyond Training” and 13 books, designing and creating the Christian Gratitude Journal, and starting a blog that now reaches over a million rabid fans each month. In 2013 and 2014, Ben was named as one of the world’s top 100 most influential people in health and fitness, and by 2015, Ben was coaching the world’s top CEO’s, chefs, biohackers, poker players, tennis, motocross and endurance competitors, and professional athletes from the UFC, the NHL, the NBA, the NFL and beyond—all while advising and investing in top companies in the health, fitness, and nutrition industry. In 2016, he joined Spartan SGX as one of its certified coaches. In this episode, Ben Greenfield opens the show speaking about how he finds a work-life balance. When you understand your passions and feel inspired by your work, finding a work-life balance is entirely effortless. Ben speaks about how he lives authentically and works on giving to people as much as possible. Also, Ben talks about why he doesn’t respond to haters on the internet. Stay tuned as Ben gives his thoughts on the ketogenic lifestyle, how to upregulate glucose transporters, and all about his book, Boundless: Upgrade Your Brain, Optimize Your Body & Defy Aging. ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎥 10 Part Keto Playlist Series: https://youtu.be/-B5m3vSFKlo // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [04:00] Finding A Work-Life Balance Finding a work-life balance is as simple as identifying your unique skillsets in life. Figure out what puts a big smile on your face. Then, shape your career around your passions and interests. Once you understand your passions and your work inspires you, finding a work-life balance will be effortless. [06:40] The Importance of Living Authentically We live in an era where there is loads of peer pressure from social media. Ben wanted to prove to the world that he was cool. He spent fifteen years of his life disconnected from his creative self. Eventually, Ben embraced his spiritual side. He finds himself more deeply fulfilled than ever before. Live authentically so you can bring your best self out to the world and give to people as much as possible. [12:30] Responding To Hateful Internet Comments Ben does not engage to haters for a few reasons: It’s not a good use of his time. He can’t keep up. It’s draining. Ben would rather spend time with his kids than argue with people on the internet. You should try and outsource things that are not a good use of your time. [17:25] The Inspiration Behind Boundless Ben decided to write a book about how to have all the energy that you want. He dives into digestion, hormones, fat loss, muscle, and everything about understanding the human-machine. That way, you can set up your life to give you all the energy that you want all day long. [21:55] How Ben Does Keto Cycling Ben enjoys the mental benefits of ketosis. Now, Ben cycles in and out of ketosis. For active people and athletes, people can cycle in and out of ketosis each day. During the evenings, Ben will eat carbohydrates. There are longevity benefits of intermittent fasting. Ben does not eat breakfast – he enjoys fasting. If you do a hard workout between four and seven, then you will be more insulin sensitive in the evenings. Ben sleeps better when he saves his carbohydrates for the end of the day. [34:00] Upregulation of Glucose Transporters Cold has an impact on glucose transporter upregulation. Ben says to try these methods: Two to three minutes in an ice bath. A five minute cold shower. A brisk thirty-m

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a nutritionist specializing in the ketogenic diet and exercise physiology, Maria Emmerich. She is the author of several cookbooks and three nutritional guidebooks, including the bestseller “Keto: The Complete Guide to Success on The Ketogenic Diet.” Maria’s blog, mariamindbodyhealth.com, offers innovative recipes and easy-to-understand explanations of how our bodies work and the science of ketogenic lifestyles. She also runs a support site for getting all your questions answered: Keto-Adapted.com. Maria’s success stems from her passion for helping others reach and sustain optimal health through programs and education that work on a personal level. She understands the connection between food and how it makes us all feel inside and out. After struggling with her weight throughout her childhood, she decided to study health and wellness so she could help others who are discouraged by their appearance and do not feel their best. The nutrient-rich, relatively high-fat dietary approach that she developed for herself and the exotic, little-known replacements for typical high-glycemic starchy foods and sugar are what finally gave her total peace with food, something she never imagined possible. Maria and her husband Craig adopted two boys (Micah and Kai) from Ethiopia. They have raised a keto family for over 7 years showing how this lifestyle can be great for the whole family. In this episode, Maria Emmerich dives into her story and why she started living a ketogenic lifestyle. Plus, Maria reveals the inspiration behind her viral keto cookbooks, which, by the way, Halle Berry follows her work! Maria speaks about how the carnivore diet has helped her husband with his Lyme disease. Tune in as we talk about oxidative priority, and Maria reveals her favorite protein sources. ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎥 10 Part Keto Playlist Series: https://youtu.be/-B5m3vSFKlo // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [08:10] About Maria Emmerich At 16, Maria was not feeling well. She went to the doctor and found out she had PCOS. Maria left the appointment with a few bottles of prescription drugs. When Maria cut out carbs, people got triggered by her changes. As soon as Maria cut the grains and sugar, her depression went away in days. [12:30] How Maria Got Into Cookbooks Maria was told she couldn’t have children with PCOS. So, they adopted instead. During the adoption process, Maria’s husband lost his job. Unfortunately, they lost their house, cars, and the adoption process needed to start over. Maria’s friend suggested that she put her recipes in a book and help raise money for the adoption. The book sales went wild! Now, Maria writes so people can see low-carb as a lifestyle. [16:50] Cookbooks Going Viral and Talking To Halle Berry Halle and Maria connected together on social media because Halle is a fan of her work. Now, Maria writes for Halle’s website. Also, watch out for more from Maria and Halle – it’s coming soon! Another one of Maria’s cookbooks was on a baking show. Plus, Al Roker was making her recipe on The Today Show. [19:00] Getting Into The Carnivore Diet We evolve as we get older, and our diets get different. Now, Maria does not eat 100% carnivore. Maria’s husband was diagnosed with Lyme disease. He tried carnivore and felt so much better. Animal protein is where the nutrients are. Maria will add garlic and onions for flavor, not nutrients. [26:35] About Oxidative Priority Your body prioritizes different fuels. In order, Maria lists how our body will prioritize what we consume. The Top Six: Alcohol Exogenous ketones Carbohydrates Protein Fat Body fat Cut the alcohol, stop wasting money on exogenous ketones, and ditch the carbohydrates. Then, you can focus on eating protein so you can build muscle. If your goal is to burn body fat, then eat less fat. If you’re an athlete, eat more fat to get more energy. If you are working on mental wellbeing, eat more fat. [35:10] Maria’s Favorite Sources of Protein Filet mignon Halibut Venison Eggs AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, a pioneer in creating global awareness of low-level inflammation and how it is the underlying cause of most illness, disease, faster aging and weight gain, Dr. Lori Shemek. She has been sending out the message about inflammation long before it was a buzz word. Dr. Lori has uncovered the pathway to the core cause of weight: inflamed fat cells that not only promote unwanted excess weight gain and belly fat, but poor health as well. Lori Shemek is a Nutrition and Weight Loss expert, a best-selling author and specializes in weight loss resistance. She has helped many people to once and for all.. lose the weight and feel better fast. She shows people how to spot sneaky foods that create weight gain, to kick sugar addiction to the curb, and shift from eating the wrong foods to the exact foods that burn fat. Dr. Shemek is an award-winning, bestselling author of How To Fight FATflammation!; The Ketogenic Key; Beginner’s Guide to Intermittent Fasting and Fire-Up Your Fat Burn! She is a leading health and weight loss expert and also known as “The Inflammation Terminator.” She has made it her mission to help clients lose weight and educate the public on the toxic effects of certain foods and lifestyle choices and how they create inflammation in the body resulting in weight gain. She is a leading authority on inflammation and its role in weight loss, preventing disease and optimizing health. The Huffington Post has recognized Dr. Shemek twice as one of the Top 16 Health and Fitness Experts, alongside such names as Dr. Oz and David Zinczenko, author of Eat This, Not That. The Huffington Post has also recognized her as one of the Top 35 Diet and Nutrition Experts. In this episode, Dr. Lori opens the show diving into her story. Dr. Lori’s mom died at a young age from bad health. So, Dr. Lori made it her mission to help people make healthier choices. Dr. Lori chooses to focus on inflammation because you can prevent so many diseases and health issues if you can decrease your inflammation. Plus, reducing your inflammation will most likely result in weight loss. Also, Dr. Lori explores the best foods for keeping your inflammation down and reveals why you should avoid unstable fats. Tune in as we talk magnesium, carb cycling, and which type of lab tests you should order. ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [02:15] About Dr. Lori Shemek Lori’s mom had a lot of health conditions. Her lifestyle choices drastically affected her life. She smoked cigarettes, was obese, had a horrible diet, and was under a lot of chronic stress. Unfortunately, her mom died at 36. Dr. Lori made it her mission to help people in the health realm. Lori created her own company to help people with their health. Many people feel like they don’t have a choice when it comes to their health. However, that’s far from the truth. 80% is a choice – we can change our gene expression. [08:20] Why Dr. Lori Focuses on Inflammation Lori would read about inflammation at school – she realized that it was the key. If you can decrease your inflammation, then you can prevent so many diseases, ill-health, and weight gain. It is extremely beneficial to understand that inflammation is the reason for many health issues. [09:20] The Differences Between Acute Inflammation and Silent Inflammation We have three types of inflammation: Acute: we know the inflammation is there because it’s uncomfortable, and it hurts. It’s a cut on your finger, the terrible head cold, and the sprained ankle. This inflammation is great because it tells you that something is wrong with your body. Silent: the name suggests danger. It’s silent; you don’t know it’s there. 75% of our country has silent inflammation, and they don’t even know it. It’s the core cause of illness, disease, faster aging, and weight gain. Fatflammation: fat cell inflammation is silent inflammation in the fat cells. The types of foods most Americans are eating is creating a body that is producing inflammatory molecules. When the fat cell gets bloated, it expands. The fat cell won’t be happy. When the fat cell is not happy, it will act like it’s sick or infected. Unfortunately, doctors will put a band-aid on chronic inflammation. [15:15] Foods For Inflammation Keto is an anti-inflammatory diet. Foods that will stop inflammation are things like omega-3. The critical foods for keto: Wild, fatty fish Seafood Berries Green tea The keto choices that we have are usually anti-inflammatory [17:15] The Problem With Consuming Unstable Fats on Keto Our cell membrane is thin, but it’s essential for optimal health. The health of our cell membrane will determine your overall heal

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, Krissy and Dwayne Schofield, a husband and wife team who have become passionate about optimizing their health and sharing their self-experimentation and biohacking animal-based nutrition journey with others. But it wasn't that long ago that they found themselves at their unhealthiest point. Over the last year, Krissy and Dwayne both have had the opportunity to improve their health in ways they didn't think possible. Now, they feel ten years younger and, in many ways, look better than they did back then. Krissy and Dwayne's journeys involved a lot of personal experimentation, also known as "biohacking." It has become one of their passions to discover new "health hacks" to help them continue to feel their best and share their progress and tips with others.​ They understand everyone is different, and the best way to determine what works for each individual is to experiment yourself. Krissy and Dwayne's goal is to help inspire others to discover their health potential while they continue to share their journey to infinite health.​ In this episode, Krissy and Dwayne dive into their journey of following the vegan diet and eventually finding the carnivore diet. After following the carnivore diet, Krissy and Dwayne found that their health problems vanished, their moods improved, and they have never looked better. Dwayne explains the importance of eating organ meat and fat. The vitamins and minerals that animals eat from plants are stored in the fats. So, when you eat fat, you'll get those vitamins and minerals. Stay tuned as Dwayne and Krissy answer questions from the Keto Kamp listeners, including the best portion sizes for a carnivore diet. ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [02:25] About Krissy Schofield After trying a vegan and vegetarian diet, Krissy felt better at first, but then her health started to decline. Krissy was deficient in iron and vitamin D. She also developed chronic fatigue and chronic pain, was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis started to get skin issues and eczema patches for the first time in her life. Krissy added eggs back into her diet, and eventually, Krissy felt an overwhelming feeling to eat a hamburger for the first time in years. So she did! Krissy felt so amazing afterward and had so much energy that she decided to add the meat back into her diet because she knew her body was trying to tell her something. [13:10] About Dwayne Schofield Dwayne had several kidney stone attacks (some had to be surgically removed), chronic acid reflux, asthma attacks (one caused hospitalization), huge eczema patches, very low energy, and was at his highest ever weight. Dwayne knew things needed to change, and they needed to change fast. After doing some research, Dwayne found Dr. Ken Berry and liked his message. When Dwayne tried carnivore, his eczema completely healed, his asthma gone, and the kidney stones were eliminated. Plus, with the carnivore diet, Dwayne lost seventy pounds, his eyes turned blue, and it cured him of food addictions. Dwayne’s life has totally changed in ways he never thought possible since adopting the carnivore WOE, and his health has never been better. [35:30] The Importance of a Healthy Metabolism Most people do not have a healthy metabolism. Pull sugar out of your diet altogether to get to where you need to be. Depending on where your health is at, then you may need to be more extreme with your lifestyle changes. For instance, get rid of all plant products for a certain period of time. Later, you can add plants back into your diet. You may enjoy your new lifestyle so much that you won’t want to reintroduce those foods back into your diet. [41:05] Getting On Board With Carnivore After Dwayne was on the carnivore diet for three months, Krissy got on board. Once Krissy tried carnivore for three months, 95% of her symptoms had gone away. The brain fog was the first thing that went away for Krissy. Honestly, she felt stupid on most days. Now, she can have intelligent conversations at all hours of the day. For the first time in her life, Krissy wasn’t craving anything. Why mess with something that is working so well? [46:35] Balancing Your Omega-6 Some people will find their omega-6 levels get too high when they eat pork. If your omega-6 levels are too high, then inflammation can start. It depends on the person to know if they should be eating pork or not. You can play around with your diet. [48:50] Portion Size On Carnivore Prioritize protein levels. Dwayne and Krissy will eat 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. It will also depend on how many times you are eating a day. Dwayne and Krissy will each eat

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a sleep expert, Claus Pummer. Claus has worked with SAMINA for over 20 years and not only believes in the SAMINA Sleep System but chooses it for his health and sleep. In addition to running the North American Company, he speaks, writes, and educates people about the importance of sleep in their health and wellbeing. Natural by Design, Corp., founded by Claus Pummer in 1998, is a lifestyle furnishings company and the exclusive importer of SAMINA products in North America. Hand-crafted in the Austrian Alps, SAMINA is the naturally healthy brand of luxury organic mattresses and products promoting optimal health through sleep. Their delight comes from their customers and offering them a solution for the healthy sleep they have been missing and need now more than ever before. SAMINA healthy sleep advisers can answer questions you have about the products and are trained to understand human sleep's essentials. Their flagship organic mattress store is located conveniently in sunny Pasadena, California, not far from downtown Los Angeles. In this episode, Claus Pummer reveals the inspiration behind his career in the sleep world. Not sure if you're getting efficient sleep? Claus says that if you have brain fog, you're cranky, unhappy, or indecisive, then you are not getting the best sleep! Your mattress could be toxic, and those toxins are bioaccumulating in your body. So, when researching mattresses, make sure you know exactly what they put in it – if it doesn't sound natural, then you shouldn't be sleeping on it. Tune in as Claus reveals the benefits of SAMINA, how to notice the results from a good night's sleep, and why you should never sleep with a metal bed frame.

The more stressed out you are, the more sleep is essential. In the recession, people were saving their money to make a long-term, healthy purchase for their sleep. Eventually, Claus set his entire vision around changing the way people sleep. [06:25] The Side Effects of Poor Sleep If you’re not sleeping well, that may be the reason that you are overweight. Brain fog in the morning is a result of poor sleep. If you’re cranky, most likely, your rest was not efficient. When you’re not happy in life, then perhaps you do not sleep well enough. If you’re indecisive, then that’s a sign of poor sleep. Not enough people talk about the proper way to sleep. [09:20] The Problems With Your Mattress Mattresses are one of the worst things to buy for humans. A study found that people dreaded a mattress purchase over everything else (except buying a car). People understand that they need a mattress, but they don’t want to deal with the research to buy a mattress. Make sure you find out what is in your mattress. If you know what is in your mattress, then you will know if it’s good for you or bad for you. [11:20] About Mattress Red Flags Metal springs are red flags. Unnatural materials are red flags. People will put fire retardants and petroleum in their mattresses. If there are things in the bed that don’t come from nature, then you don’t want it in your mattress. When you spend 1/3 of your day on your mattress, you better know what is in it! [14:25] About SAMINA Sleep SAMINA sleep is a family business. This company was not started for a quick buck. It took over ten years to figure out the best sleep system. Hand-crafted in the Austrian Alps, SAMINA is the naturally healthy brand of luxury organic mattresses and products promoting optimal health through sleep. The company’s humble beginnings began in Austria, where SAMINA was founded in 1989. Günther W. Amann-Jennson, the company founder and current CEO, designed the organic mattresses and other SAMINA healthy sleep products to improve the quality of peoples’ lives. [22:55] The Problem With Metals Metals in the mattress and bedframes are not ideal for sleep. Metal will attract electrical fields and metal fields. The exposure comes from powerlines around your house. Also, radio frequencies are invisible from transmitting data. Metal will attract the radio frequencies. Bluetooth devices and wireless devices create radio frequencies. Walking barefoot is highly recommended to ground yourself naturally to the earth. That way, you can recharge your body. In a SAMINA bed, there is a grounding pad. Sleeping with the SAMINA system is equivalent to walking on the beach barefoot. [31:10] Noticing Results With SAMINA How often do you dream? Dreaming is an excellent self-assessment to measure your sleep. Anytime you wake up, and you remember your dream,

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, the owner of Andreas Seed Oils, Andreas Wecker. He started Andreas Seed Oils to bring health and wellness to people through food. The right foods made up of essential fats, vitamins, and minerals must be genuinely healthy. The natural balance of these nutrients is offered in his purely pressed oils. Through his struggle with Crohn’s Disease, Andreas knew that his options were minimal, as he exhausted the means of modern medicine. The option Andreas chose was to find an alternative remedy to have a fighting chance at living. Fresh-pressed oils were the answer. His miraculous recovery by the use of oils, along with diet modification, has led Andreas to recognize that high-quality oils, perhaps of all kinds, could help others improve their overall health as well. He desires to provide a product for everyone to have the opportunity to improve their health and wellness. In this episode, Andreas dives deep into his journey to wellness. The inspiration behind his company, Andreas Seed Oils, comes from finding that fresh-pressed flaxseed oil relieved his pain from Crohn’s Disease. Andreas explains why industrial seed oils are terrible for our health. If you have seed oils prepared in the right way, they can be powerful tools. Andreas Seed Oils are cold pressed – the technology is powerful, and the seed quality is left undamaged. Stay tuned as Andreas explains the benefits of oils, and he answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners.

In 2000, Andreas tore his bicep during training. Three days before Andreas was supposed to compete at the Sydney Games, his career was over. To cope with severe pain issues, Andreas depended on a combination of painkillers and aspirin. He stopped taking the pills, and his health began to deteriorate rapidly. In 2006, Andreas had lost 45 pounds and 80 percent of his blood supply. Doctors diagnosed him with Crohn’s Disease (CD). Andreas found that fresh-pressed flaxseed oil relieved his pain and inflammation. [17:15] Why Industrial Oils Are Bad For Us When there is friction, there is oxidation. Many seed oil companies use methods to extract the oils that damage the oil's nutrient value. These methods include hydraulic and cold expeller pressing as well as solvent extraction. Because of the oil components' damage during these extraction methods, these oils must always be refrigerated. Andreas uses cold press technology. This technology is so delicate yet powerful that the precious nutrient qualities of the seeds are left undamaged. The result is a high-quality oil that needs no refrigeration and will last for up to a year in the kitchen cupboard. [25:40] How Seed Oils Can Help You When our body is inflamed, our immune system is overwhelmed. When we are constantly producing, our body cannot heal. Flaxseed oil is the foundation for rebuilding and repairing damaged cells. Stop consuming sugar and get more fat in the body to change the energy from sugar to fat. That way, you have a lot more energy for longer. Plus, your brain will be clearer when it runs off of fat. [28:25] About The Five Seed Oil Blend The Five Seed Oil Blend is used to increase energy levels. The blend contains pumpkin, black sesame, flax, sunflower, and coriander seed oil. In order for the oils to work, you need to eat clean. This blend is the broadest spectrum of foundational nutrients for optimal functioning organs. It is the fuel you can supply your body at the cellular level to thrive in every way possible. You will feel a load of energy from this blend. Some people cannot take this oil in the evening because it will give you a lot of energy. However, many people find it to be calming too. [38:00] Seed Oils vs. Avocado Oils and Coconut Oils Avocado oils and coconut oils are rarely pressed in the right way. Andreas wants to press coconut oils in the future. Plus, when the oils are in plastic containers, it will be bad. Did you know that you can cook with the seed oils too? Andreas uses the sunflower and sesame oils when cooking - they are perfect for high temperatures! You will have the cleanest foods when you cook with these oils. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, Chantel Ray. She runs a multi-million-dollar real estate company. Chantel is not a medical doctor or a nutritionist; she actually has a degree in mathematics. Chantel Ray is the President and Founder of Chantel Ray Real Estate, a Virginia based company with 6 locations. She is extremely active in her church and community, hosting weekly Bible studies in her home, speaking at events to support and inspire other local business owners, and partnering with local charities to help those in need. Chantel has spent the past ten years interviewing over 1000 women to crack the code to lasting weight loss. Her book is the result of these interviews, her countless hours spent studying the Bible on this topic, and her real life journey. She believes she has discovered the secret sauce to weight loss and can't wait to share it with you. In this episode, Chantel Ray reveals her dieting journey and how she finally figured out the secret to weight loss. Chantel describes her FIRES Principle and explains that hara hachi bu means to stop eating when you’re 80% full. Plus, Chantel says to make sure that you are eating slow, appreciating your food, and being intentional. Stay tuned as Chantel dives into the correlation between fasting and your thyroid. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [00:40] About Chantel Ray Chantel tried every diet under the sun. She got frustrated and would just ask women what they eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Chantel realized that all of them did intermittent fasting, but they didn’t know they did it. [04:00] About the FIRES Principle F – Fasting I – Identify true hunger R – Reducing sugar E – Enjoying real food without deprivation S – Stop before you’re full Hara hachi bu is a teaching that says you should stop eating when you’re 80% full. Americans eat until they are 105% full. If you like to eat fast, work hard to slow down. [10:30] What Happens To The Thyroid While Fasting Fasting puts stress on your body. When you are in a place where you are under high stress, then fasting may not be the right fit for you. Chantel has had massive amounts of problems with her thyroid. A lot of it has to do with hormones. Certain days Chantel can fast, and she does great. However, the time of the month is such a big piece of fasting. Your hormones play a big piece to your fasting. When you try to fast the week before your period it is a recipe for disaster. [20:45] How To Support The Thyroid You need iodine for the thyroid to function. If fasting is not working for you, there could be five issues going on: You are taking some sort of medication that is making you feel bad. You are missing out on certain supplements. Your hormones are out of whack. Your blood sugar levels are out of whack. Electrolytes are low. Get to the root cause of why you can’t fast. [25:30] The Importance of Eating Intentionally Eating too many carbs and sugar will pack on pounds and make you feel terrible. Chantel reduces the amount of carbs and sugars that she eats throughout the day. If there’s something that she really wants, then she only takes three bites. It’s essential to understand your body and your hormones. If you want something, then be intentional about it. [29:00] Advice For Fasting Skeptics When Chantel first started fasting, she didn’t lose a single pound for three weeks. After three weeks, Chantel lost six pounds. With fasting, you are building more muscle and losing fat. So, you won’t be seeing results on the scale. For Chantel, she is able to keep her weight steady using fasting. Fasting is a lifestyle change, not a lose weight quick scheme. AND MUCH MORE!

A new study from JAMA shows no weight loss benefit from intermittent fasting. This study shows no benefit from fasting. This video points out 5 flaws with the study. STUDY: Effects of Time-Restricted Eating on Weight Loss and Other Metabolic Parameters in Women and Men With Overweight and Obesity LINK: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2771095 Join my fasting webinar: http://www.benazadiwebinar.com // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off The headline suggests that fasting doesn’t work, and can cause muscle loss. What is the primary use for intermittent fasting? Health. Weight loss is a byproduct of good health. The point of fasting is NOT weight loss. The goal is metabolic freedom. The goal is to burn body fat, not sugar. Most people are sugar burners. 75%+ are sugar burners. 5 FLAW WITH THIS STUDY... 1: They didn’t change the fasting schedule. 116 obese individuals for 12 weeks. They followed a 16/8 schedule, which is only one way to practice fasting. 16 hours should be the bare minimum as this is how long it takes to process food. A study at the University of Virginia showed it took 14 hours just for 800 calories to enter the small intestine. The 8 hour eating window. How many times did they eat? They didn’t track. If they grazed for 8 hours then they kept insulin up, the bully of the block. Corporate worker analogy. It is not enough time for healing. Adaption is key with fasting, and health. Think about the greatest fitness trainers in the world, they always change up the routine. This study did NOT change the routine. 2: Cookie cutter approach to intermittent fasting. The age range was 18-64 years old and fasting should be different for men vs women and dependent on age. We know that cycling women should not fast 5-7 days before their period. Did they account for this? I’ve seen men do better with intermittent fasting than women. Post menopausal need more feasting. None of this was taken into account. 3: Didn’t educate these participants on what to eat during their eating window. Participants were randomized such that the consistent meal timing (CMT) group was instructed to eat 3 structured meals per day, and the time-restricted eating (TRE) group was instructed to eat ad libitum from 12:00 pm until 8:00 pm and completely abstain from caloric intake from 8:00 pm until 12:00 pm the following day. During their 8 hour eating window they were encouraged to eat ad libitum. Well the pancreas is designed to output insulin twice per day, if they ate throughout the entire 8 hours this would not be good. If you eat like crap, you will create cellular inflammation. Cellular inflammation will prevent weight loss. When you have cellular inflammation, your fat burning hormones cannot do their job. 4: They didn’t keto adapt them beforehand. We want to teach the body to burn fat first, otherwise fasting can have negative effects. Fasting is a muscle. If you are a couch potato and decide to do CrossFit, you results will be bad. Teach the body to burn fast FIRST, then pair intermittent fasting. Wallet to bank account analogy. This is a problem because the body will burn protein and muscle to fulfill the brains desire for glucose, via gluconeogensis. 5: Did these participants have any underlying health conditions? Toxicity such as heavy metals Insulin resistance Diabetes They didn’t do comprehensive lab work on them, just basic testing. If these participants had underlying issues, then those should be addressed WITH fasting. What about muscle loss? This can happen, but this is junk muscle and protein. We build back stronger with healthier muscle. // R E S O U R C E S 😴 My Recommended Sleep Products: https://kit.co/ketokamp/keto-kamp-sle... ➡️The World's Best Olive Oil | Get a $39 Bottle For a $1: http://www.ketokampoliveoil.com ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off ➡️Keto Kamp Apparel: http://www.ketokampgear.com 🎓Want to become a keto and fasting pro?

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, a holistic biological nutritionist and medical intuitive, Kelly Kennedy. Kelly's studies began more traditionally as a pre-med student at Cornell University, where she received a biology degree. Her father passed away from Hodgkin's disease when she was just 20. That same year, a car accident left her in chronic pain, emotionally drained, and her life in upheaval.​ After three years of succumbing to the contemporary allopathic paradigm without results, Kelly finally sought a different approach - BioRegulatory medicine - which permanently relieved her pain. Kelly knew she had found the answers she was seeking; she began working with Ian Kennedy, and a skilled, passionate practitioner was born. Today, Kelly is the Executive Director of The True Wellness Center in Pennsylvania and serves on the Board of Advisors of the Bioregulatory Medicine Institute.​ In a world facing health challenges of epidemic proportions, Kelly will not rest until "bioregulatory" becomes a household word. In this episode, Kelly Kennedy dives into her healing journey. After a nasty car accident and her father’s untimely passing, Kelly went through hell and back to heal her body, mind, and spirit. To heal, Kelly needed to come to terms with her emotional turmoil. The critical component is the ability to “be.” Also, Kelly explores the issues with having scars and the importance of understanding our fascia. Stay tuned as we talk about why you should have an actual armpit and the correct way to dry brush. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [01:40] About Kelly Kennedy At Cornell University, Kelly got into a car accident, and she was told that she would have to manage her pain for the rest of her life. The same year, Kelly’s dad died from massive health complications. Eventually, Kelly found a company that used herbal supplements to treat her pain. Plus, she found a doctor who treated her pain with energy. It turns out, Kelly’s pain stemmed from her dad’s death. Now, Kelly has a better lifeforce through the healing process. “There is such a beauty to realizing that we have the power to heal inside of us.” – Kelly Kennedy [17:40] The Issues With Having Scars Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue surrounding and holding every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. If you pick up a chicken to cook it, you'll see fascia underneath the skin. The fascia holds everything together. It’s the secondary nervous system because it is in complete communication with the skin and the fluid. The liquid inside our fascia is blood and lymphatic fluid. The lymphatic fluid is the space between our cells. If the fascia is tight, then the lymphatic fluid can’t flow properly. When the fascia snags, it creates a scar. “Blood follows where energy goes.” -Kelly Kennedy Use scar therapy to get the blood flowing again. [31:10] The Ways We Can Fine-Tune Our Emotions Since the car accident, Kelly realized that nothing is a mistake. The hardest thing for Kelly to do is to “be.” When we are still, all the thoughts come in. The pain will come back when we have unsettling thoughts. Most of us are not in survival mode. It’s time to get into parasympathetic mode. Start letting things go. However, don’t do “work.” Just spend time with yourself in a quiet space. See what’s going on in your head. At the end of the day, no matter where you go or what you do, you’ll still have your thoughts. We need to clean our fears, worries, dreads, anger, and resentment. Instead, come from love. “The reality is we create our own reality.” – Kelly Kennedy [43:00] Why You Should Have An Armpit Everyone in the world should have an armpit. Some people are puffy where there should be an armpit - this is stagnant lymphatics. If you look swollen in your neck area, that’s a little bit of lymph fluid that’s swelling. Lymph fluid should be flowing like water. [47:00] How To Dry Brush Open up your endpoints first. If your endpoints are shut down, then nothing can move through. Start from the head then move downward. Pump open your lymph. It should be light and gentle. Dry brush in your shower. Brush toward your heart. Go close first, then go farther out. For instance, start at your armpit, arm, then your wrist. Use the intention to bring it all into your heart. The whole process should take about five minutes. “Less is more with the lymph.” -Kelly Kennedy AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, the co-founder of TRU KAVA, a company that is striving to set the industry standard for quality, safety, and education around kava within the mass market, Cameron George. Cameron has spent many years investigating every aspect of kava. He has collaborated with many of the most prominent experts in the world within the fields of kava research and historical kava use. The goal of this project is to provide the safest and most effective kava products on the market, as well as educate the public on the complex story surrounding kava, explain some of the myths, the massive variation of quality on the market, and the many amazing benefits that kava can offer to the modern world when it’s used correctly in its traditional form. He strives to advocate for the use of only lab tested, safe kava varieties. The initiative is to clearly educate on the differences between safe and questionable kava products demonstrated in the scientific literature and historical accounts. In this episode, Cameron dives into the story of his autoimmune/nervous system condition that led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of KAVA. Cameron touches on how KAVA can positively affect those suffering from an autoimmune disease and he explains the benefits KAVA can have on everyone. KAVA is excellent for reducing cortisol, appetite, glucose, and inflammation. Stay tuned as Cameron speaks about maximizing the benefits of KAVA and what makes TRU KAVA unique.

Cameron also suffered from chronic fatigue, severe cognitive deficits, constant anxiety, insomnia, and convulsions that inhibited his ability to recover at any degree. After seeing countless doctors, he started researching medicinal herbs with anti-anxiety/anticonvulsant properties to reduce his anxiety and convulsions. This eventually led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of "true" KAVA, a potent plant-based anxiety-reducing nootropic drink from islands in the south pacific. [28:00] How KAVA Can Benefit People With Autoimmune Diseases To understand KAVA, it’s best to look at it from a philosophical perspective first. KAVA plays a protective role in ecology. It creates a lot of chemical compounds to protect itself and the other organisms around it. KAVA has anti-inflammatory action and anticonvulsant action. Autoimmunity is trauma from the gut and psyche. Because of KAVA’s anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsant actions, it is helpful for people with autoimmune issues. KAVA will calm the nervous system and the immune system. It’s a broad spectrum natural protective substance that protects us from inflammation. [32:50] Using KAVA To Handle Stress All disease comes from stress. Whether it be physical, chemical, or emotional – you need to be exposed to only adaptable stress. We need tools and strategies that can increase our resilience to all forms of stress. KAVA is not the only tool. However, it’s a critical intervention tool that calms down the storm inside our body during trauma. Instead of turning to alcohol, KAVA can help give us an acute therapeutic crutch. Stress will put us in a state of fear and distort reality - KAVA will help alleviate the stress. [36:00] How KAVA Can Affect Cortisol KAVA can help metabolic flexibility – it will reduce cortisol and reactivity in the body. People who combine coffee and KAVA found that their blood glucose levels go down significantly. On average KAVA will drop glucose below the baseline. Outside of cortisol reduction, KAVA is a full-spectrum adaptative substance. It will put the body in a hyper fasted state. [43:10] Maximizing The Effects of KAVA You can maximize the effects of KAVA by drinking it with coffee. Have some of the coffee then put KAVA under your tongue as well. The KAVA shots are stronger - they will enhance creativity. There’s a spectrum of strength depending on which product you are looking at. [44:20] How TRU KAVA is Unique The main differentiating factor is that TRU KAVA only uses 100% root material. Many products have the leaves and stems in them. They can actually be quite toxic to humans and cause a lot of problems. TRU KAVA never uses solids to extract anything. The reason people use this is that they get high yields. Some KAVA strains are for daily use, whereas others are not considered for everyday use. TRU KAVA will confirm that the strains are for daily use. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am grateful to have a repeat Keto Kamp guest, a Canadian nephrologist, the world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes, Dr. Jason Fung. He has written three best-selling health books and he co-founded the Intensive Dietary Management program. Dr. Fung has his own websites at thefastingmethod.com. Dr. Fung graduated from the University of Toronto and completed his residency at the University of California, Los Angeles. He lives and works in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Fung works with Team Diet Doctor. Together we want to make it simple for people to understand and implement intermittent fasting, to improve their health. Below is some of the material with Dr. Fung on Diet Doctor. In this episode, Dr. Jason Fung dives deep into his eye-opening biography of cancer in which he offers a radical new paradigm for understanding cancer. He explains that all cancers develop from our own cells. When four people get the same type of cancer, all four people will have cancer cells that look identical. Then, Dr. Jason touches on the correlations between glucose, bad fats, and cancer. Stay tuned as Dr. Jason answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners, including the benefits of fasting during chemotherapy. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [00:15] About The Cancer Code Cancer has always been a great mystery. We know what causes other diseases or infections. Cancer is the second cause of death in America, yet we don’t know what it is. The way we think about cancer has changed significantly throughout the years. There is an enormous shift in how we see the disease, affecting how we treat the disease. There is a recognition that cancer is actually an obesity-related disease. In 2003, there was convincing evidence about the correlation between cancer and obesity. In fact, it’s a massive part of cancer. Diet turns out to be 30-35% related to cancer causation. Breast cancer and colorectal cancer are the most prominent obesity-related cancers. “Diseases of metabolism are also diseases of growth.” -Dr. Jason Fung [16:15] Every Cancer Develops From Your Own Cells The number of mutations that are required to get cancer far outstrips the rate of mutation. Why does every cancer look exactly the same? People will have identical cancers that develop independently of each other. Cancer is an evolutionary disease. You can take the tools of evolutionary biology and apply them to cancer instead. All the different mutations are not random because they all end up in the same place. It’s not a random chance mutation; it’s a guided mutation. Cancer is not part of your body; it’s foreign. The immune system will attack cancer cells. [25:00] A Seven-Day Water Fast Could Shrink Tumors The research on water fasts is preliminary. A water fast will maximize autophagy. It will put your cells into maintenance mode. When you fast, your insulin will lower as well as your mTOR. Cancer is a tough thing to study because you cannot use preventative treatments once it gets past a certain point. If you want to study prevention, then you need lots of people. [29:00] The Correlation Between Glucose and Cancer Cancer runs on glucose much better than they run on fat. If a cell is trying to grow, then it needs fuel. Some cancer cells can run on protein and fat. Glucose is the most readily available fuel, and it makes the cell run efficiently. If you starve the cell of glucose, then it can change. Before you develop cancer, nutrition can be enough to prevent it. [38:35] How Bad Fats Could Increase Our Chances of Cancer Bad fats could possibly increase our chances of cancer. However, the data isn’t there yet. Anything that increases inflammation is going to create a risk of cancer. Cancer develops from inflammation and chronic damage. Anything that causes chronic damage to the body puts pressure on the body to be in survival mode. [42:50] The Benefits of Metformin If you have type 2 diabetes, then metformin may be better for cancer prevention. Metformin will turn down excessive growth. If you are in growth mode all the time, it’s bad for longevity. You want your metabolic rate to be lower by eating less. [45:30] Getting Too Much Autophagy Too much autophagy is bad and too little autophagy is bad. You want to be somewhere in the middle. You want to maintain a middle ground of autophagy for the most part. When you eat too much, you’ll turn off autophagy. [47:40] How Fasting Can Improve Chemotherapy Chemotherapy will kill cancer cells. Fasting will turn down normal cell growth. Therefore, they will be less susceptible to chemotherapy. Cancer cells cannot turn themselves down as easily. Fasting is safe during chemotherapy. Plus, it is shown that you can handle the chemotherapy better when fasting. AND M

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, a prominent leader in the field of Integrative Medicine, Dr. Erin Connealy. She utilizes the best of all sciences, including conventional, homeopathic, eastern medicine and modern medicine. She is the Medical Director of Cancer Center for Healing and Center for New Medicine. The combined 30,000 S.F. clinics have become the largest integrative medical clinic in North America, and have been visited by over patients 47,000 patients. The Center for New Medicine focuses on a precise and personalized approach to patient care that includes prevention, early detection of cancer, internal medicine, auto-immune disease, natural hormone replacement, chronic issues, and even aesthetics. Dr. Connealy's clinics focus on treating “the patient with the disease and not the disease of the patient, while determining the origin of the illness." Dr. Connealy created the Cancer Center for Healing as a result of the epidemic of cancer. Patients receive scientifically based treatments and receive integrative protocols. She utilizes unique combination of Bio Energetic testing, RGCC testing, and comprehensive blood panels to create a personalized treatment plan for early to late stage cancer patients. Her clinic offers a variety of advance cancer treatments to maximize outcomes and minimize side effects. Dr. Connealy created the Perfectly Healthy brand of products that are manufactured by state-of-the-art GMP FDA approved facilities. All Perfectly Healthy products support human optimization for each patient. Perfectly Healthy products are also carried in the shop inside the Center for New Medicine, which curates hand-picked products that promote a healthy lifestyle. In this episode, Dr. Connealy dives into her story of suffering from prenatal DES exposure. This exposure has caused massive amounts of collateral damage to Dr. Connealy. After realizing that conventional medicine wasn't going to be enough for herself and her patients, Dr. Connealy is working on educating the world on how to take care of themselves through food and other lifestyle changes. Dr. Connealy exposes the truth about cancer, how to determine if you're at risk for cancer, and what you can do to start preventing cancer today. Stay tuned as we speak about the problems with EMF exposure and the importance of fasting. *Dr. Connealy firmly believes that there is no 1 cause of cancer. It is the overwhelming presence of toxins, unresolved emotional trauma, EMFs, etc., that breakdown the body’s ability to fight cancer and eventually leads to the growth of a tumor and a cancer diagnosis.* // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [00:30] About Dr. Connealy Connealy is traditionally trained. However, she realized that prescriptions would treat her patients and not fix them. Because of the collateral damage from DES, Dr. Connealy has always been focusing on her health. She has had a lot of medical interventions as a result of DES. Doctors are not teaching and informing patients that what you eat matters. The single determinant of health is what is on your fork. “We need to start educating the world on how to take care of themselves.” -Dr. Connealy [10:00] The Truth About Cancer For the last five years, Dr. Connealy has asked every patient about the first thing they have done since being diagnosed with cancer. 100% of patients said they changed their eating habits. Sugar and food are addictions. Unfortunately, people don’t want to be strict with their eating program. Everyone grows up with cereal, so people tend to continue to do what we have always done. “The foundation of progress is discipline.” -Dr. Connealy The only way people make is a change is through pain. People know they are eating poorly, but they think that they can get away with it. “We are living in a nation of illness today.” -Dr. Connealy [17:05] How Long A Cancer Diagnosis Will Take Cancer starts with just one erroneous cell. The cell will begin to replicate itself. When the cancer cell becomes a tumor, that cell is ten years old. That means you had nine years of opportunity to check to see if you have cancer. With the technology that we have today, we know with a high accuracy rate if people have cancer. It is so much easier to prevent the illness from occurring. It does not necessarily take a symptom to know that you have cancer. Some people feel great and still get cancer. If you have a symptom, get checked by a conventionally trained doctor who knows modern medicine. [22:55] The Survival Rate For Chemotherapy The survival rate for chemotherapy is two percent. This statistic is for the people that don’t change any sort of lifestyle. If you change your lifestyle, there will be a different percentage. “It’s not a good idea to give bad statistics.” -Dr. Connealy We have to t

Today, I am grateful to have another robust conversation with a Chiropractic Doctor, Registered Medical Assistant, and Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Expert, Dr. John A. Lieurance. He has practiced in Sarasota for 24 years. Dr. Lieurance has a gift for difficult cases where other practitioners have failed. With the successful integration of Functional Neurology, Chiropractic, Naturopathy, Nutrition using the Asyra, Detoxification Programs and LumoMed inner ear therapy. His Musculoskeletal Ultrasound training includes over 100 hours through the Gulf Coast Ultrasound Institute, 60 hours through AAOM, 90 hours through AOAPRM, and 60 through TOBI. He also has extensive training for sterile lab procedures and the processing of blood platelets, bone marrow aspirate, and adipose tissue through Oregen Biologics, Emcyte Corporation, Ron Gardener, M.D. (orthopedic surgeon), Regenestem and the Ageless Regenerative Institute. He has been an assistant instructor for hands on practicum for diagnosis using musculoskeletal ultrasound for the 3rd Annual Platelet Rich Plasma & Regenerative Medicine Symposium in Los Angeles, California in 2015, and was a speaker at the Florida Chiropractic Physicians Association (FCPA) in Orlando, Florida in 2016 on Clinical Applications of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound. He has completed training with Dr Richie Shoemaker in 2019 for diagnosis & treatment of CIRS and with the “Shoemaker Protocol”. His techniques include Continuing Chiropractic Education: Chiropractic Neurology, – Applied Kinesiology “AK”, Cold Laser Therapy, Extremity Adjusting, Sports Injury Taping, Rehabilitation of Sports Injuries, Lumbar and Cervical Disc Decompression, Pettibon Scoliosis through the Carrick Institute of Functional Neurology as well as Vestibular Rehabilitation & Movement Disorders through the Carrick Institute in 2012,’16, ’17, ’18. Dr. Lieurance is the developer of Functional Cranial Release and teaches, as well as certifies, these methods to doctors around the world. In this episode, Dr. Lieurance opens the show describing the advantages of a functional cranial release. He then explains how our body likes to make energy and the benefits of melatonin on the process. He dives into the amount of melatonin we should be taking, how we should take it, and how we can naturally produce more melatonin. Learn about Dr. Lieurance’s new product Sandman Sol and be sure to check out all of his products and use the code “ketokamp” https://advancedbiomecorp.com/. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [00:55] About Functional Cranial Release It’s a manipulation of the cranium using a force from inside out. The force is expansive, and it takes the pressure off of the bone called the sphenoid bone, which is in the center of your head. Information around cranial work needs to get out there. It’s a little known technique that people need to hear about. People with chronic headaches or balance disorders can significantly benefit from a functional cranial release. [05:15] Understanding Melatonin People can take higher doses of melatonin for inflammation. Melatonin also works on the mitochondria; it’s an essential structure for every cell in our body. You don’t want to burn your cell out. Things are going in and out of the cell membrane. You want it to be as clean as possible. The mitochondria make its own melatonin. It does it for a significant reason – when things get too hot, melatonin will cool it done. You get oxidation from the burning of energy; melatonin will quench the oxidation. Oral absorption of melatonin is low – only about two percent is absorbed into the body. The suppository is a direct route into the bloodstream. Check out Dr. Lieurance’s product SandMan Sol™. It contains 250mg of Glutathione, 200mg of Melatonin, Terpene Blend (Limonene, boswellia), and their proprietary AP0-808™ probiotic strain. The body’s two most potent antioxidants, Glutathione, and Melatonin together! [12:30] How Cancer Works Cancer happens when the cell no longer can make energy efficiently, and it goes to a primitive way of creating energy. Instead of making 36 ATPS, you only make 4. Because of inflammation, you make less energy. The Cytokine Storm is what kills people. Melatonin can penetrate the cell and quench the cycle so you can start making energy effectively. [19:50] You Won’t Shut Down Your Ability To Make Melatonin There is an idea that too much melatonin is somehow a danger. However, there is no negative feedback. When you take testosterone, you’ll make less of it. With melatonin, this doesn’t happen. You can take high doses, quit, and the very next night, you’ll produce the same amount of melatonin. [21:10] Other Cool Things About Melatonin Melatonin is critical for disease prevention and slowing down aging. When don’t have

We want to see blood glucose drop during a fast, and blood ketones (BHB) raise during the fast. If you do not see this trend, it is most commonly because of 3 reasons... Toxicity issue. When you are burning fat with fasting, your body burns toxins stored in fat cells. If you have a lot of toxins, this can cause you to feel tired and even bad with fasting.

Today, I am grateful to have a repeat guest on the Keto Kamp Podcast, Dr. Kedar Prasad PhD. Dr. Kedar Prasad PhD earned a Ph.D. in Radiation Biology from the University of Iowa, Iowa City, in 1963. As the first Radiation Biology Ph.D. ever, he received Post-doctoral training at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, New York, and joined the Department of Radiology at the University of Colorado Medical School Health and Sciences Center where he became Professor and Director of the Center for Vitamins and Cancer Research. Easily one of the most published experts on nutrition, cancer, neurological diseases and the effects that micronutrients and antioxidants have on each, Dr. Prasad is frequently sought after for his expertise and extensive experience with nutrition. When approached by the US DoD to help develop a product that would radically decrease the effects of trauma on the military forces, he developed the world’s most advanced daily supplement, Micro Daily. In this episode, Dr. Kedar Prasad dives deep into Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). EMFs are invisible areas of energy that are found in wireless internet signals and our cell phones. EMF radiation can wreak serious havoc on our bodies. Dr. Kedar explains what type of damage can happen to our DNA and biological tissues. Plus, Dr. Kedar reveals the various types of things that will help prevent severe damage. For one, it’s essential to take supplements. You can find Micro Daily EMF here: https://shop.microdaily.com/ketokamp. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. http://www.Kettleandfire.com/ketokamp and use KETOKAMP at checkout to save 15% on your entire order. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [01:45] About EMFs EMF stands for electric and magnetic fields. EMFs are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as radiation. You cannot block the magnetic field of penetration from EMFs to our bodies. Studies show that EMFs will increase the risks of brain cancer and other cancers as well. Even though there is some controversy on the studies, Dr. Kedar personally believes that EMF radiation will increase the risk of cancer. Also, EMF radiation can induce diabetes-like symptoms. There are loads of effects that no one can deny from EMF radiation. EMFs are found in wi-fi signals and our cell phones. [10:10] Differences between EMF Radiation Based On Generation Recent generations will have more acute damage from EMF radiation. Even low exposure to EMF from mobile phones may cause health problems. There are many aspects of health that are affected by EMF radiation. For instance, it can cause damage to biological tissues by inducing changes. Shielding EMF radiation has no value in Dr. Kedar’s opinion. In fact, it can be counterproductive. Instead, focus on how you can protect your body from the inside. [18:55] EMF Radiation Can Reduce Capacity of DNA Repair If you are exposed to EMF radiation, then you generate lots of free radicals. Antioxidant enzymes are reduced with EMF radiation. Inflammation will increase with exposure. EMF radiation increases the level of oxidated stress and chronic inflammation. These two cellular deficits are involved in all human chronic diseases. [21:50] How We Can Protect Our Tissues To reduce oxidated stress, your body needs two things: Increased antioxidant enzymes Increased antioxidant compounds You can increase antioxidant levels by activation of Nrf2. If you cannot activate Nrf2, you cannot increase antioxidant enzymes. You can increase Nrf2 through supplements and diet. [27:30] Using Supplements To Protect Our Tissues First, ensure you have a proper diet and lifestyle. Then, take a Micro Daily EMF supplement. You can find Dr. Kedar’s supplement here: https://shop.microdaily.com/ketokamp. The Micro Daily supplement provides 5G and EMF Radiation Defense and Immune System Boost. Plus, the supplement has other massive benefits: Enhanced anti-inflammatory response DNA integrity and health Anti-aging at the cellular level Increased energy Joint and pain relief This supplement is validated with the U.S. Military. [36:25] How To Take Fewer Hits From EMFs The important thing is remaining distant - maintain distance from EMFs to reduce exposure. Turn off your Wi-Fi router at night. If your phone is in your pocket, make sure it is on airplane mode. Do not spend excessive time around EMFs. [39:05] EMF Exposure On Animals Our pets are also exposed to the same EMFs that we are. [43:25] Measuring EMF Damage You can measure CRP in the blood. After a few months using Micro Daily EMF, you will find that your CRP is down. Also, you will feel less sensitivity to EMF radiation when you are taking the Micro Daily EMF. AND MUCH MORE!

It’s important to include collagen via organ meats, supplements, and bone broth. Methionine is commonly found in muscle meat. Glycine is found in connective tissue and organ meat. Methionine is a carrier of methyl groups, when you have too much methionine it uses up your bodies glycine to buffer up the methyl groups. This will mess up your biochemistry. Glycine balances methionine and helps the amino acid ratio. If you are glycine deficit it will be difficult to make collagen and glutathione (meaning you won’t feel as good) Key Supplements For Carnivore: Boron Paleo Valley Bone Broth Powder Paleo Valley Organ Meat Complex Another tip for not feeling well is to increase your fat to protein ratio. The organ meats are key, it is nature’s multivitamin. Especially liver! B vitamins Methionine Riboflavin Selenium Choline Vitamin A in retinol form Vitamin C A popular objection to eating liver is the belief that the liver is a storage organ for toxins in the body. While it is true that one of the liver’s role is to neutralize toxins (such as drugs, chemical agents and poisons), it does not store these toxins. Toxins the body cannot eliminate are likely to accumulate in the body’s fatty tissues and nervous systems. On the other hand, the liver is a is a storage organ for many important nutrients (vitamins A, D, E, K, B12 and folic acid, and minerals such as copper and iron). These nutrients provide the body with some of the tools it needs to get rid of toxins. Ben Carnivore Lab Work Notes: BUN went up moving more protein through my kidneys Blood Urea Nitrogen and Creatinine these are byproducts of different functions in the body BUN/CREATININE ratio went up Albumin protein went up AST ALT went down Ferritin went up but this can be an issue if there’s oxidized fats in the body. It’s important to look at other oxidative stress markers. C-Reactive protein went down more than 50% (inflammation in the blood vessels) Homocysteine dropped vascular and brain inflammation Cholesterol and LDL’s went up. The body is clearing the system with cholesterols, cholesterol is a band aid, a healer. This shows up with inflammatory markers coming down. Cholesterol makes hormones, cells, and gives the cell membrane what it wants. Inflammation markers all dropped but all particles went up. The oxidative component rules. I’m using cholesterol as an energy source therefore I have more particles that are shuttling more cholesterol. Cholesterol becomes a major fuel source, makes sense.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, a Functional Medicine and Wellness practitioner, Dr. Casey Means. Dr. Casey’s mission is to use scientific knowledge as a tool to maximize the human experience for herself and her patients. Life is precious, and Dr. Casey believes that science can help us all experience better, happier, and healthier lives, if we choose to implement scientific knowledge in an effective way. Originally from Washington, DC, Dr. Casey headed west for college, and graduated with Honors from Stanford University with a degree in Human Biology, with a concentration in the Cellular and Genetic Basis of Disease. She completed her medical degree at Stanford School of Medicine, and subsequently trained to be a Head & Neck Surgeon at OHSU before transition to Functional Medicine. Dr. Casey’s training with the Institute for Functional Medicine allows her to help you stay healthy and heal from within. We will look deeply into your unique health story and biology to identify the root causes of your health concerns. ​Dr. Casey has spent thousands of hours in the operating room and hospital, and have seen almost everything that can go wrong in personal health. Her functional medicine approach offers safe, effective, and natural interventions that address the root cause of disease. In this episode, Dr. Casey speaks about her pivot from Head & Neck Surgeon to Functional Medicine. We dive deep into glucose monitoring and the best ways to utilize a CGM. Dr. Casey speaks about the effects that stress can have on our glucose levels and what our optimal glucose levels should be. Tune in as Dr. Casey explains how Levels will help you maximize your metabolic health so you can live a longer, fuller, healthier life.

She graduated from Stanford Medical School and did four years of additional training in ENT/Otolaryngology and subsequently trained with the Institute for Functional Medicine. She is a whole-foods plant-based diet advocate, which she promotes on her Instagram account, @drcaseyskitchen. Casey is passionate about helping patients identify the root causes of their ailments, and creating intervention plans with her patients that primarily focus on nutritional and lifestyle approaches. [14:30] Making The Pivot To Functional Medicine It was an easy decision for Dr. Casey to pivot to functional medicine. Casey’s purpose is to help the most people that she possibly can. Ultimately, Dr. Casey realized she could merge her functional medicine insight into digital tools and potentially help millions. [19:25] About Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) tracks glucose levels throughout the day and night and can alert you if your levels go too high or low. This technology has been around for over a decade. Insulin resistance and metabolic diseases start decades before the actual diagnosis and result from repeated and regular insults to your metabolic system. No two people respond to carbs the same; that’s why a CGM is useful. [31:05] The Effects of Cortisol On Glucose Our perception of stress effects our glucose levels. Stress will raise your glucose. It’s good to be aware of your stress levels throughout the day. It’s difficult to know whether or not we are stressed. You cannot hide the stress from your body even if your brain doesn’t think you are stressed. If you’re getting a glucose surge, then try to add a meditation practice to your day. [34:25] About The Dawn Phenomenon First thing in the morning, glucose will rise on its own. In order to wake up from sleep, our body will release cortisol and other hormones. These hormones will have an impact on our bodies. This effect is more pronounced in someone who has diabetes. Evidence suggests that a very healthy person will not have much of a dawn effect. In someone who has perfect insulin sensitivity, then the body will compensate for the glucose surge. It’s normal not to see a dawn effect. [36:10] Optimal Glucose Ranges If you have a fasting glucose of below 100, you’re considered normal. If you are 100 – 125, you are considered prediabetic. If you are 126 and above, you are considered diabetic. If you’re below 100 in the morning, then you’re okay. After a considerable carb-rich meal and you stay below 140, then you’re fine. However, Dr. Casey says these numbers are way too lenient. If you look at the research, even in the “normal” ra

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, the leading authority on nutrition and human metabolism, Dr. Cate Shanahan. A board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience, and NY Times bestselling author of The FatBurn Fix, Deep Nutrition and Food Rules, her expertise is fixing the underlying problems that cause metabolic damage and inflammation, leading to autoimmunity, weight gain, diabetes, cancer and accelerated aging processes. 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. Together with Dr. Tim DiFrancesco and NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the PRO Nutrition program for the LA Lakers and helped forge a partnership between Whole Foods Market and numerous NBA teams. In May of 2018 she begin Director of Metabolic Health for ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, a progressive, family-run company interested in saving money by the betterment of health. She’s also the Medical & Scientific Advisor at CB Supplements, overseeing their premium-grade multi collagen protein, and for beliv, a forward-thinking Latin American beverage company. In this episode, Dr. Cate reveals the details behind her health journey and nutritional career. Dr. Cate discloses what it was like to work for the LA Lakers and the diet that helped Kobe Bryant recover from a terrible ankle injury. 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. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. http://www.Kettleandfire.com/ketokamp and use KETOKAMP at checkout to save 15% on your entire order. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off // T I M E S T A M P S [00:30] About Dr. Cate While in Hawaii, Dr. Cate got a mysterious problem with her right knee. Nothing would help it. She had surgery and saw multiple specialists. Eventually, Dr. Cate took her husband’s advice and cut the sugar. After learning about nutrition, Dr. Cate realized that our health problems started in the 1950s. Now, Dr. Cate says we should take advantage of all the living and edible parts of our landscape. [09:05] How Dr. Cate Gets Her Message Out To The World There are so many barriers in place for education on nutrition. For one, Dr. Cate would give talks about nutrition. So, she got a reputation for being a Master of Nutrition. However, people would come from all over Hawaii to ask Dr. Cate everything! There was no way to manage it. Later, Dr. Cate moved to New Hampshire to get her message out. She found out the medical system was silencing her message, not where she lived. Currently, Dr. Cate works for a company directly. That way, her income is not based on churning through people as fast as possible. [12:50] Working For The LA Lakers The only reason Dr. Cate worked for the LA Lakers was because of her husband. Her husband had the idea that it would be great if there were a radical overhaul on their nutritional science. When players get injured, Dr. Cate will use the natural healing properties of bone broth to get them on the court as fast as possible. Kobe Bryant was totally on board for the natural healing methods. After an ankle injury, he recovered in two weeks using a diet. Bone broth and collagen are like a missing food group – it helps skin, hair, nails, ligaments, and the gut. The most important thing that no one is talking about is The Hateful Eight Seed Oils. These oils are incompatible with athletic performance. A big part of Dr. Cate’s job was making sure that the players knew what to order and what to avoid. [19:00] 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. [24:10] 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, the

Today, I am grateful to talk with a licensed Chiropractor in Florida with over ten years of clinical experience, Dr. Bryan Abasolo. Bryan’s career quickly expanded into the entertainment realm becoming a celebrity persona following ABC’s The Bachelorette, where he was the winner of the show and became engaged to America’s Bachelorette, Rachel Lindsay. With a passion for a healthy lifestyle and a lean and toned physique, Bryan’s trade name has become Dr. Abs - The Lifestyle and Wellness Coach. Appearing on popular shows, such as The Doctors, Dr. Abs' coaching focuses on lifestyle initiatives to educate his viewers on the benefit of chiropractic adjustments and treatment, combined with natural supplements, and core body training, as a pivotal part of maintaining an overall healthy body. In this episode, Dr. Bryan talks all about alleviating chronic pain. As a chiropractor, Dr. Bryan says adjusting the spine will allow your body to heal. However, there are other things that you can do throughout the day to relieve your chronic pain. For instance, make sure you are always moving. Movement is the key to life. Also, Dr. Bryan reveals the importance of deep tissue laser therapy and its role in chronic pain. Tune in as we talk about the role sleep can play in back pain and why we need to start getting healthy from the inside. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. http://www.Kettleandfire.com/ketokamp and use KETOKAMP at checkout to save 15% on your entire order. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [01:10] About Dr. Bryan In college, Dr. Bryan realized proper nutrition and proper training would lead to abs. Bryan is interested in natural health, which is why he went to chiropractic school. He is ready and willing to help loads of people. The human body is the world’s greatest healer. If we can remove the interference, then the human body will heal itself. Chiropractors will adjust the spine, allowing your body to heal. [06:25] Alleviating Chronic Pain Interference is often caused by sitting. Our biomechanics are ruined when we sit all day. Standing, walking, moving is essential for the body. Chronic pain happens as we age. All of your issues will start to catch up with you and take a toll on your life. If you're suffering from chronic lower back pain or chronic neck pain, you may benefit from a surgical alternative known as decompression therapy. Get to the root of the problem. Instead of getting pain medicine, it's essential to heal the discs naturally. [13:00] Daily Routines To Alleviate Back Pain Bryan says sitting is causing back pain. Instead, use a stand-up desk. That way, you can stay sharp and promote efficiency. Wake up in the morning and clear your mind. When we immediately turn to Instagram and Facebook, it is hurting your posture. Instead, take in all the beautiful things that life has to offer. Stretching will also help alleviate pain. Drinking a lot of water is also critical for chronic pain. [16:00] Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Laser treatment is safe, painless, and noninvasive. The treatment will decrease inflammation, help with cellular regeneration, and also treat pain. Professional athletes are using deep tissue laser therapy to recover and play faster. Light energy will penetrate deep into the cells and target the mitochondria. Then, it will produce more ATP. The injury will heal way faster using laser therapy because it will renew the cell at a much higher rate. [21:20] The Role Sleep Plays In Pain Unfortunately, Dr. Bryan is a face-down sleeper. It’s not suitable for your lower bag. The best thing you can possibly do is to sleep in the fetal position. Use a pillow in-between your legs to balance out the hips. Find a pillow that will keep your spine aligned. If you are going to sleep face up, always put a pillow underneath your knees to flatten out your lower back on the bed. Always make sure your lower back is supported. [24:00] Dr. Bryan’s Keto Journey Bryan is glad keto is working for fat loss. At 40, your diet has to be on point more than ever. Bryan eats quality eggs, avocados, raw nuts, and keto shakes. Bulletproof is Dr. Bryan’s favorite coffee. He has never felt sharper mentally than he has with bulletproof coffee. [29:25] Stop Drinking Diet Sodas Diet sodas do not provide our bodies with any calories. They also do not offer any significant nutrition. These fake sugars are neurotoxins. Avoid diet sodas at all costs. They will disrupt our gut bacteria. [32:10] The Importance of Inner Health You are what you eat. What we put in our bodies is just as important as what we put on the outside. For good skin, eat whole foods and a great diet. Drink lots of water and get sunshine for inner health. People are not drinking enough water on a daily basis. If you’re feeling hungry, you may just be thirsty. At the end of the day, we only have o

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. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. http://www.Kettleandfire.com/ketokamp and use KETOKAMP at checkout to save 15% on your entire order. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [01:50] How To Stop Snacking Whatever diet you are following, it’s critical to stop snacking. In between meals, rely on fluids to get you through the day. Drink water, bone broth, or herbal tea to curb hunger. Making it from lunch to dinner without snacks is a massive accomplishment. Insulin resistance is caused by chronic secretion of insulin. The pancreas is not designed to stimulate insulin throughout the day. If you eliminate snacking, it will help you reach your goals. [07:20] We Are Note Designed To Eat Constantly Eating all day long is making us age faster, it’s making us sicker, and it hurts our health. We are not designed to eat more than a couple of times a day. [08:15] How To Start Fasting People are comfortable with cutting out breakfast. Start with eating lunch and eating dinner. This should be done every day to build your fasting muscles. Sixteen hours is a mild fast – it’s like stretching every day. Once this becomes easy, then cut out lunch and cut out dinner, depending on what works best for your schedule. It’s better to eat earlier in the day if you are going to eat. Experiment with sodium to get to dinner without any snacking. After a fast, assess results: Are you feeling well? Do you see improvements? [13:30] Our Hunger Hormone Cycles Throughout The Day All of our hormones go up and down throughout the day. Ghrelin, the hunger hormone, will also cycle throughout the day. When you hit a hunger wave, it’s best to distract yourself. Try an appetite suppressant like peppermint tea. Once you get busy, the hunger wave will subside. Ride out the hunger wave by creating a list of things to do. Another way to ride the hunger wave is by reducing your stress. Use hunger waves to meditate, breathe, or listen to Keto Kamp. Water, salt, and magnesium will assist with stress and inflammation. [21:20] Getting A Continuous Glucose Monitor Call your insurance company and let them know about your blood glucose issues. Most people can get their monitors covered. In Canada, you are able to get the monitors easily. Megan says to work with your healthcare provider to negotiate the monitor. [23:20] The Importance of Changing Your Fasting Routine If you’re fasting every other day, it usually provides enough variation. When people are only eating one meal a day, their bodies will adapt to it. For maintenance, one meal a day is excellent. However, many people can be happy with two meals a day. When looking to lose weight, your body will adapt to your schedule. There is a big difference between fasting and calorie restriction. Your days should be varied and different, so your body does not adapt. For people who like to do OMAD, alternate which meal you’re having. Eat lunch one day, dinner the next, then lunch the day after. It’s a great way to change your routine and keep variation in your fast. [33:00] Why Your Breath Smells While Fasting When we fast, fatty acids are converted into ketones, which are natural chemicals your body produces when you burn fat for energy. Ketones are released through our breath, and it may cause “keto breath.” Brushing your tongue is one way to get rid of the smelly breath. Oil pulling is beneficial for the

Experiencing a headache on keto or intermittent fasting? Discover 3 reasons why you get keto headaches, and what to do about it! ▸ [FREE] 🔥E-BOOK: "The Keto Kickstart Guide: 4 Steps to Burning Fat Instead of Sugar" | http://www.ketokickstartguide.com The Art of Fasting Webinar: http://www.benazadiwebinar.com It's common to experience headaches on the keto diet and/or intermittent fasting. There's 3 reasons why this happens. This video breaks down all 3, and what to do about it. Be sure to check out the timestamps and resources below.

This can create a hypoglycemic response which can freak out your brain. If your brain is accustomed to using glucose, and now glucose is low; symptoms will occur. This is why I teach a gradual approach into ketosis. Go low and slow. 02:05 Why eating more protein can help. Add extra protein with your meals, and see if this makes a difference. 02:18 Are you fasting too soon? When you fast before you have metabolic flexibility, the brain and body will experience headaches. Get Keto adapted first, then add intermittent fasting. 02:47 The second reason; electrolyte deficiency. When you transition into ketosis, you are burning off your sugar reserves. When this happens, your kidneys release a lot of water/electrolytes. This is why its important to constantly replenish your electrolytes. 03:29 Drink the Keto Kocktail each morning. 16 ounces of water, 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a pinch of sea salt and cream of tarter. 05:20 The third reason: toxins being released. Toxins love fat; when you start burning fat cells on keto, the body will release these toxins and you can experience symptoms. 05:50 Toxins create fat cells via the PPAR-Y pathway. The body wants to survive, so it will not let these toxins reach vital organs, so it creates fat cells as a home for these toxins. These are the toxins that are being released when you burn fat on keto. 07:55 Eat these bitter rich foods to stimulate bile. Bitter rich foods helps remove these toxins, and helps you break down fat. Recommended Bitter Rich Foods to Stimulate Healthy Bile: Dark Chocolate (85% or more) Dill Ginger Kale Arugula Radicchio Dandelion Peppermint Citrus 09:45 Digestive bitters with water is another good idea. // R E S O U R C E S ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off ➡️Check out my Keto Kickstart Kit: https://kit.com/ketokamp/keto-kicksta...

Today, I am blessed to have an eye-opening conversation with academic gastroenterologist, Dr Andrew Wakefield, MB, BS, FRCS, FRCPath. He received his medical degree from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School (part of the University of London) in 1981, one of the third generation of his family to have studied medicine at that teaching hospital. He pursued a career in gastrointestinal surgery with a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease. He qualified as Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1985 and in 1996 was awarded a Wellcome Trust Traveling Fellowship to study small-intestinal transplantation in Toronto, Canada. He was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in 2001. He has published over 130 original scientific articles, book chapters, and invited scientific commentaries. In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, Dr. Wakefield lost his job in the Department of Medicine at London's Royal Free Hospital, his country, his career, and his medical license. He is married to Carmel, a physician and a classical radio presenter. They have four children, James, Sam, Imogen, and Corin, and a black mongrel called Bella. In this episode, Andy Wakefield opens the show speaking about his documentary Vaxxed and why it got pulled from the Tribeca Film Festival. At the end of the day, Robert De Niro actually told the public that they need to watch Andy’s movie, Vaxxed. The movie took off! Andy gives his take on vaccine development and surveillance. Plus, Andy gives the scoop on his latest film, 1986: The Act. Stay tuned as we talk about the similarities between vaccines and the Ford Pinto. Plus, the importance of personal liberties. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. http://www.Kettleandfire.com/ketokamp and use KETOKAMP at checkout to save 15% on your entire order.

Visit http://www.kkaspecial.com // T I M E S T A M P S [00:40] About Vaxxed Andy worked hard to get his film, Vaxxed into the Tribeca Film Festival. At first, Robert De Niro supported the showing of Vaxxed. Unfortunately, it was pulled from the festival amid criticism. Really, it was the sponsors that started threatening to pull their dollars. Three days later, Robert De Niro said it was a mistake to pull Vaxxed. This documentary started awareness about vaccines and medical awareness. [10:15] Bill Gates on Vaccine Development and Surveillance In Argentina, there’s a program that is testing the system of mandatory vaccines. If you do not have the vaccines, you cannot get things like a license. Bill Gates is dictating policy and personal vaccine choice. What degree does Bill Gates have to speak on this subject? He has inserted himself into this role. Bill says that if you want to live in his society, you need to be compliant with his wishes. Andy says that this bizarre. Why is CNN entertaining him? [13:20] About 1986 The Act Andy wanted this movie to be relatable. He made the movie about the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, and how it relates to a mother’s intuition. This movie is all about the power of intuition. The mother knows that there is something dangerous about vaccines. The movie enables us to explore the science behind vaccines. The mother wants to look at the science and pull it apart. Watch the movie: https://1986theact.com. [20:00] The Similarities Between The Ford Pinto and Vaccinations The Ford Pinto turned out to be super dangerous. When rear-ended, the car would explode. Ford had two options; they could recall the cars or pay for the victims. They found out that it would cost a lot less to pay for the victims than recall the vehicles. Vaccine manufacturers did the exact same thing. They could have made a safer vaccine, but it would cost them more money. After doing a cost-benefit analysis, they realized it would be cheaper to pay for the children who are brain-damaged and killed. Overall, profits are more important than people. [25:50] The Future of Mandatory Vaccinations Vaccines are being rushed to the market. The Swine Flu Vaccine had no benefit whatsoever. Mandatory vaccine bills are taking choice away from parents. The Democrats are in bed with the pharmaceutical companies. Democrats are in favor of a federal mandatory vaccine bill. Personal freedom is coming from the Republicans. The future of humankind will come from the next election. Once a vaccine is put inside of you, you cannot take it out. You should never take away people’s choice! People need to wake up to this. [30:50] Vaccinations vs. Non-Vaccinations There is no study between vaccination and non-vaccination from the CDC. However, a private study found that there are significantly worse outcomes for kids who are vaccinated vs. the ones that are not vaccinated. People have lost confidence with the pol

[03:10] About Dr. Lieurance Lieurance had a lot of health problems growing up. Eventually, Dr. Lieurance was diagnosed with Lyme disease. At one point, he had to shut down his practice and lost it all. After healing himself, Dr. Lieurance was able to reopen his practice. Now, Dr. Lieurance is able to tell his patients that he knows exactly how they feel when they come to him with Lyme disease. [08:00] How Dr. Lieurance Helps His Clients Biohack TRT is true shockwave therapy. This therapy is becoming more and more well known. The TRT device penetrates eight inches deep into the body and produces a true shockwave. The healing benefits are like nothing you have ever seen before. Lieurance will also set up a high-dose magnesium IV. Magnesium is very alkaline. By alkalizing the blood, you will get better absorption with an oxygen product. High magnesium has been researched for traumatic brain injuries. The magnesium will help light our brains up. Another biohack Dr. Lieurance uses is intravenous laser therapy. This way, your blood will get showered with the laser; it is hugely favorable. Laser therapy is harnessing the beneficial aspects of sunlight. The lasers boot our immune system. 70% of the laser power is absorbed in the first millimeter of skin. [17:10] About The Lymphatic System The lymphatic system is the gutter system. The lymphatics go everywhere! Nutrients will pass into tissues. Those tissues create energy, and the metabolic waste gets shuffled through the lymphatic system. Eventually, the waste goes through urination or defecation. [18:15] Utilizing a Glutathione IV Push Glutathione is the master antioxidant. It’s great for catching toxins. Glutathione is an amazing molecule; it’s something that our liver produces in a healthy situation. Glutathione is the primary support for our viral immunity. Plus, it’s essential for good quality sleep. Lieurance says he prefers getting people on glutathione suppositories. [15:30] Why Dr. Lieurance Is Big On Suppositories It’s a simple process to enter a suppository. Once the suppository enters the rectum, it dissolves. You don’t even know it is there. The nutrient will slowly release in your body. When you take things orally, you will have a

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, founder of Bulletproof and author of New York Times bestseller The Bulletproof Diet, a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent two decades and more than one million dollars to hack his own biology, Dave Asprey. Dave lost 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, used techniques to upgrade his brain and lift his IQ by 20 points, and lowered his biological age while learning to sleep more efficiently in less time. Learning to do these seemingly impossible things transformed him into a better entrepreneur, a better husband, and a better father. Dave is the creator of the widely popular Bulletproof Coffee, host of the #1 health podcast, Bulletproof Radio, and author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Bulletproof Diet. Through his work Dave provides information, techniques and keys to taking control of and improving your biochemistry, your body and your mind so they work in unison, helping you execute at levels far beyond what you’d expect, without burning out, getting sick, or allowing stress to control your decisions. In this episode, Dave Asprey explains why simply not eating carbs isn’t enough to lose weight and keep the weight off. Dave reveals why we need to eat the rights fats. Whenever you eat something, there are three things you need to think about: will this food be used as a building block, will this food be used as a fuel, and what toxins does the food have? Plus, Dave describes why we need to stop eating overcooked foods and the reasons we should be more concerned with the quality of our ingredients in the foods we eat. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. http://www.Kettleandfire.com/ketokamp and use KETOKAMP at checkout to save 15% on your entire order. [00:45] Why Not Eating Carbs Isn’t Enough The keto diet makes you lose a bunch of weight, and it also causes inflammation. The keto cookies are made with gluten – they are causing inflammation! If you are not in ketosis some of the time, you will not live to 180. On the Bulletproof diet, people have lost 1,000,000 pounds. Not eating carbs doesn’t work 100% of the time. [04:50] Why We Need To Eat The Right Fats What are our cell membranes made of? Well, it depends where they are found in the body. Look at everything you eat from three different lenses: Is it going to be used as a building block? Is it going to be used as a fuel? What toxins does it have in it? What percentage of your body are carbs? Less than one percent. You do not need carbs as a building block. There is about a two-year half-life of fat in the body. When you eat good fats, it will take two years to make your cell membranes functioning. Saturated fats are awesome because they do not break easily, and they are stable. We have demonized saturated fats. However, 45% of our cell membrane fat is saturated fats. The only fat your body can make is saturated fat. Our brains need these saturated fats. Monounsaturated fats fill in the big building blocks. Omega-3s and omega-6s will be the lubricants. [12:45] Think About Quality Ingredients People will try and put anything in the keto category. It’s a problem. The quality of the ingredients matter. The reason grass-fed butter is such a big thing is because the fatty acid ratios are different. Animal fat is so precious – that’s why Dave raises his own animals. Part of the keto message has to be “don’t eat industrial meat.” It will WRECK your ketosis. Short-ribs from a grass-fed cow are covered in fat. It is a religious experience. Eat less meat and spend more on it if that what it takes to eat grass-fed meat. Half of your fat calories should be saturated. [18:50] Stop Overcooking Your Foods Overcooked food is rough on your liver. When you eat heavily charred meat, you’ll feel bad. It doesn’t matter if it’s delicious; it matters how you will feel when it’s done. Parts of our cells will act as incinerators. They burn our proteins and digest them. Overcooked foods will clog them up. If you keep shoveling them in there, then there is no mechanism to clean them up. Do not eat smoked foods! AND MUCH MORE!
