Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi (Ben Azadi)

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a big-hearted chiropractor with a special interest in functional neurology, brain optimization, and weight loss, Dr. Stephanie Estima. Dr. Stephanie Estima studied Neuroscience and Psychology before becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. She has been in private practice for 16 years where she is helps people achieve extraordinary health at her Toronto clinic -The Health Loft. Also, she is the host of Better with Dr. Stephanie. This show is for high performing women who want to have BETTER bodies, BETTER minds, BETTER relationships, BETTER sex, and BETTER families. Dr. Stephanie loves taking the complex science and making it easy to integrate into daily life. Every week she gives people access to world class scientists, medical doctors, plastic surgeons, professional athletes, Olympic athletes, Hollywood actors, parenting coaches, sex experts and psychologists. Dr. Stephanie is always looking to answer this question: what are the simplest things we can do today, to get better tomorrow? She is part geek, part magic, and it’s her mission to be the voice for women...Let’s get better together. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Estima opens the show by explaining how she discovered that keto cycling could benefit your menstrual cycle. Period symptoms should not be considered normal. Instead, we should think of them as warning signs that our body needs something. Every symptom can be a vital sign of something more profound and more significant. Then, Dr. Stephanie dives deep into the menstrual cycle. She explains what you should be eating during each part of your cycle. Tune in as we talk about tracking your cycle and what happens in the menopausal stage of life. / / 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 [00:50] About Dr. Stephanie Estima Stephanie started in the keto space interested in the effects the diet can have on the brain and clarity of thought. So, Dr. Stephanie tried keto along with her patients. When couples did it together, the male partner would always have significant weight loss. While on the other hand, the female partner would see little weight loss despite eating the same type of diet. Personally, Dr. Stephanie enjoyed her focus and productivity. However, in the background, she was dealing with a lot of menstrual issues. At one point, Dr. Stephanie had a period and it actually went well. She realized that keto cycling could be beneficial for your menstrual cycle. Now, she loves getting her period! [06:45] What Your Period Says About Your Health “Your period is the lasso of truth.” -Dr. Stephanie Stephanie says that your menstrual cycle is going to tell you about the hormonal status of your body. The menstrual cycle is a vital sign for women. If you have heavy bleeding, clotting, and sleep disturbances – then those are signs that your body is trying to tell you things are not balanced. Women need to stop looking at their symptoms as punishment. Instead, women should listen to their bodies. Thick hair could mean too much testosterone. You want to identify common patterns that happen as it relates to hormonal dysfunction. [11:05] About The Betty Body Stephanie’s new book is called The Betty Body. You can order it here: https://amzn.to/2ZfwTOh In the book, Stephanie dives into why women should stop dieting and take control of their hormones to feel amazing in their skin. A Betty epitomizes a modern-day queen, commonly associated with increased levels of self-worth (because she continues to create it). Stephanie likes to think about how to play the long game with women. In the book, she talks about how sex and orgasms are important things for women to think about. It improves all our vital signs, and most importantly, is a vehicle for self-healing. [15:45] Diving Into The Menstrual Cycle Week 1: When we think about the first week of our cycle, it’s the bleed week. Most hormones have gone on vacation during this time. FHS is still around (follicle-stimulating hormone). One lucky egg will be developed. So, it’s a wonderful week for vegetables. The first two weeks of your cycle are all about developing your follicle – you will be more resilient to restrict carbohydrates. It’s a nice week for fasting because we don’t have progesterone. Week 2: After the bleed week and into the second week, it’s the week before ovulation. Ovulation is the main event – it’s the whole point of your menstrual cycle. Whether or not you want a child, that’s what your body wants to do. In this week, we see estrogen. Estrogen is designed for growth because we want to develop the follicle. The other hormone that comes up is testosterone. In this week, your interest in sex should go up. Week 3: Week three happens after your ovulation. Now, your egg can hang around and wait for sperm. The entire hormonal landscape is going to change. Back off aggressive fasting this week. Give yourself flexibility- we are much more sensitive than our male counterparts. Add resistant starches to your diet during this week. Resistant starches are foods that will resist digestion. It cannot be broken down in the small intestine. Instead, they will go into the large intestine. Luckily, they don’t count toward your carbohydrate intake. Some examples of resistant starches: green bananas, green plantains, raw potatoes, cold rice, Week 4: Peak week! During a blood test this week, all of the things will be down. Relax on keto this week and pump up the calories. Get out of ketosis – eat squash, sweet potato, and fruit. [30:20] The Importance Of Listening To Our Body    Listen to your body and what it is trying to tell you. If you really like to increase fat on a certain week, then do it. Stephanie only has best practices. However, every woman is different, unique, and beautiful. [42:15] Tracking Your Cycle Stephanie uses Clue to track her cycle. Check it out here: https://helloclue.com. The first thing you should do is get information about where you are in your cycle. [48:15] What Menopausal Women Need To Know Women in their menopausal stage can become more insulin resistant. The cells are not as sensitive to the effects of insulin. So, women will see an increase in blood glucose. Plus, muscles will also become resistant. It will actually take more for a muscle to grow when a woman is fifty and beyond. AND MUCH MORE!

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!

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

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

Today, I am blessed to have 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 breath – it helps get bacteria out of the mouth. [35:20] Why You’re Bloated During A Fast Some people are bloated because they are constipated. Most people have adrenal dysfunction. There could be stress on the thyroid. Electrolyte imbalances can also cause bloating. Focus on sodium as the gateway electrolyte. If you can sustain healthy sodium levels, then it should lower that bloating. [37:10] Diarrhea Or Constipation While Fasting You may have diarrhea while detoxing. If insulin levels are high, and you start a fast, they can drop rapidly. The kidneys may not be able to process all of that water – so some will go through the colon. If this happens, start with shorter fasts. Stabilize your carb intake on your eating days to prevent large insulin fluctuations. Hydration is key! Not just water, but water and electrolytes. If you are constipated, most likely, your thyroid is suppressed. As your body figures out your new lifestyle changes, it will adjust accordingly. Keep water and salt up to support the system. [41:10] Why You’re Cold During A Fast The thyroid could be a reason why you are cold during a fast. Low ketones is another reason why you are cold while fasting. Warmth should improve when your ketones are higher. [45:20] About Carb Cycling If someone is exceptionally diabetic, then they should stay keto. Even a few carbs can be counter-productive. Usually, Megan will introduce carbs when women are halfway through their journey. If they are off their medications and are seeing more glucose control, then they can start eating carbs again. Carb cycling will help support female hormones. If a woman has been doing straight keto and fasting quite a lot, they may hit a plateau to access body fat. After carb cycling, they may feel even better. AND MUCH MORE!

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!   Resources from this episode: Check out Maria’s Website Learn more at Keto-Adapted.com Follow Maria Emmerich Instagram Twitter Facebook YouTube Read “Keto: The Complete Guide to Success on The Ketogenic Diet” Get Maria’s books Check out Ancestral Supplements Find Maria’s Keto and Carnivore Macro Calculator Join theKeto Kamp Academy  WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube  // 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.

Patients seek his expertise to treat erectile dysfunction and other sexual performance issues. Dr. Bruce Sloane is well known not only for his technical ability, but for his sensitivity, compassion and high attention to detail; hallmarks of his private practice. Certified by the National Board of Medical Examiners and the American Board of Urology, he is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons as well as the Philadelphia College of Physicians. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, Dr. Sloane received his medical degree from Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, NY.

So, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in urology. Later, Dr. Sloane wanted to promote more wellness. As a urologist, it was a perfect fit. Also, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in age management medicine, functional medicine, and peptides. [07:20] What Dr. Sloane Looks At When Treating Erectile Dysfunction First, Dr. Sloane checks free and total testosterone levels. However, the first test is not accurate. Nitric oxide is a key molecule for erections. When you hit 50, your levels of nitric oxide getting produced by the endothelial in your body decline drastically. Nitric oxide is a very important molecule in terms of just overall cardiovascular health, especially with erections. Also, Dr. Sloane will have a conversation about diet and exercise with his patients. [10:05] How To Boost Nitric Oxide Without Supplementation Diet is a big one when it comes to increasing nitric oxide levels. Sloane recommends adding these foods to your diet: Arugula Beets Bok choy After adding those foods to your diets, there are some other ways to improve nitric oxide levels: Exercise Good sleep Nose breathing [12:45] What You Can Do To Improve Your Prostate Health Lots of greens are going to be good for your prostate. A good diet with minimal sugar and carbs will be good for your prostate health. Sloane recommends checking out these supplements: https://theralogix.com/ Prostate cancer is genetically related. So make sure that you are getting tested regularly. Genetic screening and genetic counseling could be a great way of prevention.   [19:55] How Porn Brain Is Affecting Our Quality of Life Porn brain has been debated; some people do not feel that exists. However, Dr. Sloane says that porn is addicting. Men have to mimic the porn in their real sexual life, but they can't. So, they have a hard time getting turned on. Plus, porn leads to desensitization. Even with Instagram, it’s an unattainable goal and a real issue. [22:50] All About GAINSWave And The Benefits of Using It GAINSWave is the premium brand of extracorporeal shockwave therapy for ED, performed by our network of highly-trained medical providers. It has been used in Europe for many years. The waves will break up any blockages the blood vessels have. Most of the time, ED is a blood vessel problem. GAINSWave will increase blood flow to the penis. It works about 75-80% of the time, and it's not covered by insurance. The worst thing that can happen is that it does not work. You have to be in good health in order to respond to GAINSWave. Learn more about GAINSWave: https://gainswave.com/ [30:15] The Role That Sleep Plays When It Comes To Your Sexual Health Sleep is a big deal. You have to maximize sleep as good as you can for what your body needs. We have to gear the conversation of sleep to your sleep habits. If you have poor sleep habits, you will run into problems. Sleep problems will make sexual issues worse.   [34:40] The Reasons That Dr. Sloane Is Such A Big Fan of Peptides   There are certain peptides, when given to the body, make your body do what it should be doing that it's not doing right now. So peptides could make your body create growth hormones. Peptides are signaling molecules. You can use peptides for healing and inflammation.   [37:20] The Four Main Things You Should Do After Listening To This Episode Stop using Google for everything. Eat real food. Exercise regularly. Personal development. Keep yourself thinking and stay ahead – don’t get lazy.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. John Demartini. He is a polymath and a world-renowned human behavior expert. Students have described his work as the "most comprehensive body of work” and "an extensive library of wisdom.” Dr. John Demartini's mission and vision is to share knowledge and wisdom that empowers you to become a master of your own life and destiny. He's an internationally published author, a global educator, and the founder of the Demartini Method, a revolutionary tool in modern psychology. His education curriculum ranges from personal growth seminars to corporate empowerment programs. His teachings synthesize knowledge and wisdom from the greatest minds through history, and his curriculum is designed to help you empower and inspire all seven areas of your life. In this episode, Dr. Demartini joins the show to talk about how symptoms are your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. When you have a symptom, your body tries to guide you on moderating your behavior and living wisely. Tough conversations can even lead to symptoms; for instance, your sympathetic nervous system activates during a problematic confrontation, and blood sugar increases. Tune in as we chat about why judging people harms your health and how the right job can be great for your cardiovascular system.

Instead, you should eat to perform at your peak.  You won’t have symptoms out of the blue when you eat moderately quality foods. You can always trace your symptoms to a reason.  Sadly, we have overlooked what the body’s wisdom is.  The Wisdom of The Body: https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Body-Walter-B-Cannon/dp/0393002055/benazadi-20 [08:55] How The Sympathetic Nervous System Can Increase Blood Sugar Doctors are notorious for asking diabetes patients not to eat sugar and gain weight. However, these patients don’t often want to be told what to do.  During these tough conversations, when someone has their sympathetic nervous system activated their blood sugar increases.  Sadly, we don’t give people their accountability back to change their health.  You can get a biochemical imbalance because you store up psychological issues that keep affecting hormones and transmitters.  [28:50] You Can Take Control of Your Own Recovery and Your Own Life  Take command of your life. Find alternatives to your health problems. There is no reason to exclude a health alternative.  Love, Medicine and Miracles: Lessons Learned about Self-Healing from a Surgeon's Experience with Exceptional Patients: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Medicine-Miracles-Self-Healing-Exceptional/dp/0060919833/benazadi-20 Overall, patients can participate in their own recovery.  [44:25] The Right Job Is Good For Your Health and Cardiovascular Risk Most people have the Monday morning blues.  Sadly, many people are not inspired by their work. If you have an imbalance in cytokines, your immune system responds. You will have serious problems if your sympathetic and parasympathetic are out of balance.  When someone is inspired by their work, their heart rate variability increases, their cytokines are normal, their blood pressure is down, and they don’t have any cardiovascular risk.  [50:40] Why Judging Other People Is Harmful To Your Health  When you look up to people, you minimize yourself, and your parasympathetic system dominates.  When you look down on people and resent them, you exaggerate yourself, and your sympathetic system dominates.  Whenever you judge, you feel empty.  Instead, we want to feel fulfilled; love fulfills.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Matt Halpert. He has a doctorate in immunology, with a specific focus on inflammation and microbiology and the way the immune system operates and should operate. Dr Matt spent 10 years in the Texas Medical Center predominantly at Baylor College of Medicine, as an academic researcher, focused on cancer and cancer immunotherapy.  With regard to how the immune system functions, its physiology, how it goes about identifying a threat, whether that threat is a virus or cancer, and how that immune system can then be essentially reprogrammed or correctly directed toward fighting that threat, the research team Dr Matt was with made what we now know to be an extremely important discovery.  In this episode, Dr Matt speaks about immunotherapy to fight against cancer. He will also share about Immunocine Cancer Center, which provides one of the most advanced Cancer Immunotherapies available. They are supported by academic studies and several clinical studies which makes them unique from any other cancer treatment centre. Tune in as we chat about the difference in your immune system when you’re younger and as an adult, using the immune system to fight off cancer, how stress can weaken your immune system, dendritic cells, and how can you support your immune system.

Chemotherapy would be analogous to putting a bomb on a building knowing there are bad guys (cancer) inside in the hopes of taking out all of the bad guys, but with the added risk of causing collateral damage. Even if it isn't shown on the scan, the bad guys are still there if you don't get them all. Relapse is undoubtedly a possibility in the future. Using the immune system and immunotherapy is a little more like using the Navy SEALs to go into the building and very specifically identify and eliminate those threats rather than the widespread destruction. If we're going to get to cures, it's going to be in the space of immunotherapy and rearming the immune system.  Our immune system, also known as our defense system, constantly guards against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens, including cancer. Dendritic cells are a type of immune cell that runs the whole system. They are the generals of the immune system army.  [16:09] Why does the immune system lose its understanding? We tend to break down more frequently as we get older, our health tends to weaken, and we don't bounce back as quickly. That is a clear external reality, but there is also an inside reality. Mutations take longer to fix.  You need to have adequate movement each day. You need to exercise. When we are young, we are generally always on the move. As we age, we spend a lot more time sitting down and we don't try to exercise every day. Therefore, despite the immune system's potential strength, your body is no longer benefiting from it as quickly as it could.  [28:48] The First Cancer Treatment to Maximize the Immune System Immunocine Cancer Center send people a dozen or two dozen publications about dendritic cells and their role in cancer. That is their own science. They’re not hiding from mainstream medicine, it just takes time.  They gathered the ideal group of medical professionals, including oncologists, radiologists, hematologists, and scientists. In addition, they have a cleanroom lab that complies with FDA regulations, where each patient's customized immunotherapy is created.  What they can do is reprogram your immune response to get going and get fighting. Instead of working in a lab, their scientists take a sample of the tumor and analyze it to find its protein library and very particular RNA components. The measures they followed to transform the blood cells into the appropriate type of dendritic cells over the course of a week are what make their technique so special.  They give you a legitimately unique, strong immune response that actually does ramp up and start fighting cancer. [58:36] Does immunotherapy works for all types of cancer? Here's what you need to know! As of today, Immunocine Cancer Center are not treating hematological malignancies, which are blood cancers, and heart cancers, and they're not treating brain cancers. They can treat a lot of cancers. It can be in conjunction with other treatment approaches.  AND MUCH MORE!

In this video, we're breaking down the benefits hour by hour at critical milestones—14, 16, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 72 hours—so you can understand the science of fasting and how it helps you burn fat, boost brain health, and reset your metabolism. Now, let’s jump into the timeline! ⏳ 14 Hours: Fat Storage Hormone (Insulin) Drops 📉 At 14 hours, your insulin levels start dropping, which is huge for fat loss. 🚀 Insulin is your fat-storage hormone—when it's high, you store fat instead of burning it. 🔥 After 14 hours of fasting, insulin begins to fall, and your body starts using up its stored glycogen (sugar) reserves for energy. Wallet analogy vs bank account  What you’ll notice: ✅ Feeling lighter 💨 ✅ Mental clarity kicks in 🧠✨ ✅ First signs of fat burning 🔥 ⏳ 16 Hours: Cellular Cleanup (Autophagy) 🧹 At 16 hours, your body activates autophagy—its self-cleaning mode. Think of it like a little Pac-Man 🟡 going through your body, eating up damaged cells, toxins, and cellular junk. This process: ✔️ Removes weak, inefficient cells ✔️ Prevents diseases like cancer & Alzheimer's ✔️ Repairs mitochondria for more energy ⚡ Garage analogy with a bunch of junk.  💡 Autophagy is the ultimate anti-aging hack! ⏳ 24 Hours: Digestive Reset + Growth Hormone Skyrockets 🚀 By 24 hours, two MAJOR things happen: 🔄 1️⃣ Digestive System Gets a Break! Your body stops using energy for digestion and instead focuses on: ✅ Healing the gut lining (great for leaky gut & bloating!) ✅ Reducing inflammation in the intestines ✅ Producing intestinal stem cells for gut repair 🌱 If you struggle with acid reflux, bloating, or digestive issues, this is a game-changer! ⚡ 2️⃣ Human Growth Hormone (HGH) SURGES! 💥 By the 24-hour mark, studies show a huge increase in HGH: ✔️ Up to 2,000% in men ✔️ Up to 1,300% in women ⏳ 30 Hours: Brain Supercharge (BDNF) ⚡ Here’s where things get next level… 🚀 At 30 hours, your brain starts pumping out BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)—basically miracle-grow for your brain. 🎯 What happens? ✔️ Brain fog disappears ☁️➡️☀️ ✔️ Memory, focus & learning improve 📚 ✔️ Feels like a spiritual reset ✨ No wonder fasting is a key practice in almost every major religion! ⏳ 36 Hours: FAT-BURNING GOES FULL BLAST 🔥 At 36 hours, you enter deep fat-burning mode. Here’s why: 🔻 Insulin is at rock-bottom levels 🔥 Body fat gets mobilized for fuel 🩸 Your liver converts fat into ketones, which fuel the brain & body Links and Resources: 🎁📚 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Gary Brecka, Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Bruce Lipton. He is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences. Dr. Lipton has taken his award-winning medical school lectures to the public and is currently a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop presenter. He lectures to conventional and complementary medical professionals and lay audiences about leading-edge science and how it dovetails with mind-body medicine and spiritual principles. He has been heartened by anecdotal reports from hundreds of former audience members who have improved their spiritual, physical and mental wellbeing by applying the principles he discusses in his lectures. He is regarded as one of the leading voices of the new biology. In this episode, Dr. Bruce Lipton explains the basics of what stem cells are and why they are so important in gene expression research. Dr. Lipton also emphasizes the importance of understanding that our cell receptors can pick up energy vibrations and how our cells use that information to send signals to our brains! Last but not least, Dr. Lipton discusses how stress hormones are stealing energy from our bodies and how we can reprogram our minds to limit these stressors through the fundamentals of habit changing. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com [02:05] The Basics of Stem Cells & Signals From The Environment Many of the cells in our body are embryonic cells, meaning they can replace any piece that was just lost. They can become brain, skin, muscle, bone, whatever is needed. However, we can't call a cell in an adult human an embryonic cell. So we changed the name to the stem cell. The idea that the general population holds is that genes turn on and off and, in the process, control the expression of our cells. Lipton, however, found while cloning stem cells that taking genetically identical cells and putting them in different environments made the cells show an expression that fit that environment. This shows that the expression of cells is not controlled by genes but by signals from the environment. [16:54] How Energy Frequencies And Our Cell Receptors Intertwine Cell receptors are like antennas that receive signals. Conventional people would say that receptors only respond to physical things like pharmaceutical drugs. Lipton explains that these receptors actually pick up energy vibrations. Receptors pick up signals from the environment and adjust the body accordingly to live in that environment. [19:50] How Our Frequencies Communicate With DNA to Produce Proteins When we see something we love, our brain translates that into complementary chemistry. When we are in love, dopamine is released by the brain, goes into the blood, goes into the cells, and engages them in a pleasurable sensation. Oxytocin is also released when you are feeling love. It sends the signal to your brain to bond with whatever you are feeling love towards. These love hormones promote growth and vitality. Likewise, when we see something that scares us, chemicals are also released. But on the other hand, the chemicals released when we are scared do not promote growth; they instead use that energy to get the body ready to run away. [24:16] How Stress Hormones Steal From Your Body Stress hormones cause the body to shut down the energy used in growth and maintenance, the immune system, and the system's intelligence. The immune system uses a great deal of energy; however, when the body is introduced to stress hormones, it takes energy away from the immune system and gives that energy to get the body ready for stressful situations. When this system was designed, it was helpful because, if a tiger was chasing you, after 10 minutes and you used all of your energy and escaped, you could go back to growth and health again. In today's world, however, stress is involved in so many parts of our everyday lives that we are releasing stress hormones all day, and our body is not able to maintain itself. [33:08] Knowledge Is The Key To Reprogramming The Mind The lack of knowledge is the lack of power. Big pharmaceutical companies have systematically deprived people of knowledge. We must find a balance in this world where even if someone has a different opinion, it isn't censored out of the people’s view. [42:59] DNA Is A Blueprint And The Mind Is An Architect DNA can be thought of as a blueprint used to make the proteins that are the body's building blocks. This means that instead of the popular idea that genes can turn themselves on and off, they are actually just read or not read. Lipton shares that this is important because the reader of this blueprint is the brain and the mind. So as you change your perception of the world, you can change your genetic activity. As the DNA is the blueprint, the mind is the architect. Meaning that if something in the blueprint needs to be changed, it has the power to do so. This also allows it to adapt to its environment. [49:46] Reprogramming To The Side Of Abundance And Love vs. Fear The biggest problem of changing a program is to recognize that the program occurs in the subconscious. The subconscious is a habit mind, and it is not open to randomly changing a habit. It wants to hold onto that habit, and it will resist change as much as possible. There are two fundamental ways to change a habit. The first is that in the first seven years, your brain was in a state of theta, or hypnosis. Therefore, self-hypnosis is a way to change a habit. You can do this by putting earphones on at night before bed and playing a program of something you want. This works because the level of brain activity below consciousness is theta. So, the discussion is happening in your subconscious instead of your conscious brain. The second fundamental way to change a habit is practice. If you put something into practice with repetition, repetition, repetition, it will eventually become habitual. Last, there is a new form of psychology called energy psychology. Which offers what Dr. Lipton refers to it as "super learning." This new form of psychology could potentially be a huge step in changing our behaviors. AND MUCH MORE!

Today we have Dr. Benjamin Bikman on the Keto Kamp Podcast. Dr. Bikman is a biomedical scientist, professor, and expert on insulin resistance. Dr. Benjamin Bikman studies diabetes and obesity, and much of what he focuses on is a seemingly obscure condition called insulin resistance. But it’s, in fact, not very obscure at all. Half of all adults in the U.S. have insulin resistance. That means you could have it too, and you don’t know it. What is insulin resistance? Why did Dr. Benjamin Bikman devote his career to studying something like this? Well, insulin resistance is essentially two things. First of all, some cells in your body aren’t responding very well to the hormone insulin. Second, you have more insulin than you did before, a condition called hyperinsulinemia. Insulin resistance is at the root of virtually every chronic disease. If we go through the chronic diseases that are killing us today, things like Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, and certain cancers, what they all have in common is insulin resistance. To varying degrees, insulin resistance is either causing the problem or making it worse. Purchase all 7 challenge recordings! Special pricing: http://www.ketochallengerecordings.com  Who Can You Trust When It Comes To Experts In The Health Space?  If the person we're seeking to learn from uses derogatory language when speaking about those with whom they disagree, that is the sign of a petty person. Experts should have discussions politely and respectfully and acknowledge that there is room for disagreement. There ought to be a degree of skepticism that we apply to every authority. We should challenge that authority to some degree. There are people with Ph.D. degrees who we shouldn’t trust. Overall, we should always be on our own journey to understand what is accurate and true.  A Basic Understanding of Ketosis  Ketosis is the state where blood ketones are elevated, but pH is normal. Every human has some amount of ketones, even if it's below the detection level on commonly used devices. When you’re in ketosis, you will have a detectable level of ketones on a moderately used device and yet pH is not changing. Ketones have the potential to make the body more acidic. When someone's in ketosis, the amount of hydrogens coming off the ketone is relatively modest. Within the blood, there are numerous buffering mechanisms. That way, your body will defend its pH range. Overall, ketones are fat-burning products; when insulin is low, the body will burn fat at a high rate.  Ketones Are Energetic Molecules; Plus, Ketones Are Signaling Molecules Ketones are energetic molecules roughly similar to the calories you get from glucose. Plus, ketones are signaling molecules. If a ketone is being used as a fuel, it will come to a cell. Then the ketone will get shuttled into the cell through an MCT (monocarboxylate transporter). When the mitochondria have a lot of pressure to be burning molecules, they get the signal that they need more mitochondria. Fatty acids can have the same effect. When a cell is burning a lot of fatty acids for fuel, it will start stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis.  Why The Laws of Thermodynamics Are Misleading Regarding Weight Loss People are producing ketones and breathing out ketones, and urinating them out. Remember, ketones have a caloric value. Calories matter, but don’t worry about them. Let the calories take care of themselves. Invoking the laws of thermodynamics in nutrition and human metabolism was one of the greatest tragedies in the history of human-relevant science. It absolutely misled us and made us demonize fat and embrace carbohydrates. Hormones matter at least as much as calories because hormones tell the body's cells what to do with the available calories.  The Problems With Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance  Metabolic syndrome used to be called insulin resistance syndrome. Insulin resistance is the single most common problem in the US and abroad. Plus, insulin resistance is relevant to virtually every chronic disease. Covid has only made metabolic problems worse. Luckily, keto and intermittent fasting can help lower insulin. Remember, there is no insulin resistance without elevated insulin. Lowering insulin is a perfect way to help the body become more sensitive to it. If no nutrients are coming into the blood, insulin starts running out of nutrients in the blood that it can store away. So, insulin comes down when nutrients aren’t coming into the blood. Fasting is the best way to lower your insulin and reverse metabolic syndrome.  What We Talked About: [23:55] Who can you trust when it comes to experts in the health space?  [26:30] A basic understanding of ketosis   [34:40] Ketones are energetic molecules; plus, ketones are signaling molecules  [44:00] Why the laws of thermodynamics are misleading regarding weight loss  [49:00] The problems with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance  [1:06:15] Question and Answers  [1:18:15] Tip of The Day From Alina [1:23:15] The biggest takeaways from Dr. Ben Bikman  [1:26:15] Homework assignment for session 3   Resources From This Episode:  Text “CHALLENGE” to (786) 364-5002 The Keto Starter Kit: www.ketokampstarter.com VIP experience: www.ketokampvip.com Share on social media with the hashtag #KETOKAMPCHALLENGE Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebenazadi LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/ Keto-Mojo: http://ketokampmachine.com/ HLTH Code: https://ketokampshake.com/ (use code “ketokamp”) Kettle & Fire: https://www.kettleandfire.com/ (use code “ketokamp”) Why We Get Sick: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Sick-Disease_and/dp/194883698X/benazadi-20 Dr. Bikman on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benbikmanphd/ Dr. Bikman on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BenBikmanPhD Follow Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Get Keto Flex: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YFM83DD/benazadi-20 *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 ▸clubhouse | @thebenazadi Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

The problem is when this map of reality is not consistent with your goals, then you need to evaluate your beliefs and then start to change them subconsciously. ·       The inductive mind is the creative mind that imprints information into the subconscious mind and looks for coincidences with the idea. ·       The inductive mind is the creative mind, and the subconscious mind is the set goal. The reticular activating system is an area in our mind that opens up when we focus on something, allowing us to see things that were not there before. [22:29] The Impact of Food Consumption on Our Conscious and Subconscious Mind. ·       Social influences on food intake refer to the impact that one or more persons have on the eating behavior of others, either direct (buying food) or indirect (learning from peer's behavior), either conscious (transfer of beliefs) or subconscious. ·       Observation and food consumption elicit positive affective responses, stimulating food intake. It revealed that the observation and consumption of food activate brain regions related to affective processing. ·       When we have enough energy, conscious deliberation enables us to make good decisions. The unconscious, on the other hand, seems to operate fine with low energy. [28:35] Fix Your Circadian Rhythm to Lose Weight ·       A nucleus is an area in the brain behind the eyes responsible for telling the time. When the sun releases blue light, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters, such as melatonin, which is the one that leads to going to sleep. Melatonin is produced during the morning and used later at night. ·       Light produces endorphins in the eyes, which synchronize the system to get BC and do physical exercise. This is due to the rhythm in cortisol that starts to go up whenever you see the first hours of the morning and the light, which is why we don't use fasting glucose anymore as a valid test. ·       When exposed to sunlight, you produce the vitamin D necessary to gain muscle mass. However, if you avoid sunlight, for whatever reason, you are more inclined to lose muscle mass due to the missing part of vitamin D.  ·   Vitamin D is an antioxidant. If you consume a lot of ultra-processed carbohydrates, you are using your firehose with carbohydrates instead of getting this vitamin, getting the processes to lower other general inflammation.   [40:08] Natural Light vs Artificial Light; How This Influences Weight Loss ·       When people take sunshine, their anxiety goes down, but when they are anxious, they crave sweets and salty foods. ·       When they are sleep deprived, they start their day with higher-than-normal glucose levels, and if they exercise, they will have a glucose spike. Insulin can remove the excess glucose and put them back on the level where they start with cravings. ·       Any lifestyle promoting insulin resistance will worsen matters, and food stimuli are only four to 5% of the brain's ability to change eating patterns. To move forward, starting with the water flow and sleeping at the correct time is important. ·       Light significantly influences our eating patterns and behavior, with 46% of neurons in our brain being stimulated by light. ·       The brain is programmed to adapt to longer days during the summertime and shorter days during the wintertime, which means that we need to prepare ourselves and accumulate energy in terms of fat being brought to our system.

Today, I am incredibly fortunate to welcome a dear friend of the show, the one and only Dr. Pompa. He is a respected leader in the field of functional medicine, educating practitioners and the public on the origins of inflammation-driven disease, the therapeutic application of the ketogenic diet, fasting, ancestral-based health approaches, cellular healing, and detoxification.  Dr. Daniel Pompa received his undergraduate degree in communication from The University of Pittsburgh, and his doctor of chiropractic degree in 1995 from Life University. He is the author of the books Cellular Healing Diet and Beyond Fasting and he hosted a weekly Cellular Healing TV Podcast and YouTube show.  In this episode, Dr. Pompa offers insights into debates and practices shaping our understanding of optimal well-being. The discussion unfolds by examining plant toxins, lectins, and anti-nutrients as Dr. Pompa dives into the ongoing discourse surrounding their perceived dangers and potential role in diseases and autoimmune conditions. Plus, Dr. Pompa advocates for a personalized approach, emphasizing the importance of listening to the body's signals and adapting to environmental or dietary stressors. Tune in as we chat about cold therapy, where Dr. Pompa challenges the misconception of a universal three-minute rule, underscoring the individualized nature of optimal exposure. This episode is about a more personalized and nuanced approach to holistic health.  💡 Free training session with Dr. Pompa on cell membrane inflammation.

[00:20] The Debate on Plant Toxins: Insights on Health, Adaptation, and Cultural Diets -       Dr. Pompa acknowledges that there is a discussion in the health space regarding the dangers of plant toxins, lectins, and anti-nutrients. Some individuals argue that these substances are the root cause of diseases and autoimmune conditions. -       Dr. Pompa points out the logical inconsistency in blaming plant toxins for health issues, considering the historical and cultural variations in diets. -       Many cultures have thrived on diets that include plant-based components, such as the Mediterranean diet, suggesting that plant toxins may not be the sole culprit. -       Dr. Pompa introduces the concept that, like any stress applied correctly, exposure to plant toxins can have beneficial effects. -       He suggests that small amounts of these toxins, when ingested, may act hormonally, applying stress to the microbiome and potentially making it stronger through adaptation. [03:45] Understanding Body Signals in Response to Stressors and Dietary Change -       Similar to various stressors like hot or cold exposure, fasting, and exercise, the key is to listen to the body and observe how it adapts. -       Dr. Pompa emphasizes the importance of paying attention to one's feelings and symptoms as indicators of the body's response to different stressors, including dietary changes. -       Dr. Pompa questions why many people today react to certain foods while previous generations did not. -       He suggests that the cause may be an inflamed gut and microbiome. However, he argues that the current focus on plant toxins might be misplaced, and the real problems could be other toxins, such as glyphosate and certain heavy metals that people are unknowingly exposed to. [05:55] Embracing Personalized Approaches for Cold Therapy -       The current trend in the health and biohacking space involves various forms of cold therapy, including cryotherapy, cold plunging, and cold showers. -       There is a common misconception that three minutes is the ideal duration for cold baths or showers. -       The benefits of cold therapy stem from the body's response to the stress of cold exposure. If an individual adapts to the stress, positive benefits such as the rise of neuropronephrine and increased growth hormone can occur. -       Dr. Pompa stresses the importance of listening to the body and adopting a personalized approach to cold therapy. Starting with lower durations and gradually increasing based on how the body responds allows individuals to determine their optimal exposure time. [12:50] Navigating Cooking Oils for Optimal Health -       Dr. Pompa acknowledges that individuals may have different experiences with the Keto diet. -       He suggests that some people may have a negative experience with Keto, but it could be influenced by the specific type of Keto diet they are following. -       Dr. Pompa highlights the awareness of the damaging effects of certain cooking oils, such as vegetable and canola oil. -       He and others take precautions when dining out by informing waitstaff about allergies to these oils due to their oxidative effects on cells over an extended period.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Nina Teicholz. She is an investigative science journalist and leader in nutrition reporting who is challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–particularly, whether saturated fat causes heart disease and whether fat really makes you fat.  The New York Times bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise. Teicholz also serves as Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition, an independent non-profit group that promotes evidence-based nutrition policy. She is one of a new generation of researchers arguing that diets lower in carbohydrates are a scientifically sound approach for reversing nutrition-related diseases.   For more than half a century, we’ve been told to eat a diet high in grains, low in fat, saturated fat (and cholesterol), but the last two decades of research have led a growing number of scientists  to conclude that this diet, despite being rigorously tested, could never be shown to prevent any kind of disease. Teicholz’s work also explains why this diet has remained official policy for so long: the roles played by crusading scientists, the food industry, and more. In this episode, Nina opens the show by explaining her obsession with studying fat. Nina realized that people were afraid to talk about fat because the food industry was pushing their agenda. Nina explains what was wrong in the 1950s, leading most people to believe that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease. Later, we talk about why the American Heart Association gets so many health facts wrong. Tune in as Nina busts common myths around red meat and who is really pushing vegan and vegetarian diets.

During her research, Nina came across studies pointing out the flaws in a low-fat diet. However, so many scientists at universities were terrified to talk to Nina about fat. Why? Because people in the food industry were paid to give scientists a hard time. Nina realized there was something really wrong going on here that had such enormous implications. Nutrition science from the very beginning has been heavily influenced by the food industry. For instance, the vegetable oil industry wanted to go after people for attacking vegetable oils in any way. You see the same tactics happening today on social media.    [08:55] Polyunsaturated Fats vs. Saturated Fats vs. Monounsaturated Fats Fatty acids are long carbon chains.  Poly means many. Polyunsaturated fats have many double bonds. Each time there's a double bond in the chain, it kinks the chain. Some examples of polyunsaturated fats: Corn oil Safflower oil Sunflower oil Canola oil     Monounsaturated fats are the same carbon chain but with one double bond. If you want to use oil, it’s better to use olive oil because it only has one double bond. Saturated means that the carbon chain is statured with hydrogen, and there is no double bond. It is a flat chain, and it makes a solid like butter. Saturated fats are actually the best for cooking, and they're the healthiest for eating because they do not oxidize or cause inflammation.   [17:55] What Went Wrong In The 1950s With Ancel Keys and President Eisenhower The idea that fat, cholesterol, and animal foods are bad for health began in the 1950s.  The US was really in a panic over the rising tide of heart disease, which had been virtually nonexistent in the early 1900s. In the 1930s, heart disease became the number one killer.  A panic started when President Eisenhower himself had a heart attack in 1955. Eisenhower’s doctor was convinced by Ancel Keys that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease.  Plus, Ancel Keys got his ideas adopted by the American Heart Association.  Ancel came out with a statement saying to avoid saturated fat and cholesterol in order to prevent heart attacks. We are still dealing with this in 2021.    [23:00] Why Are Seed Oils Approved by the American Heart Association?  How is it possible for the American Heart Association to continue to ignore so much scientific literature? More than 20 papers published in the field have concluded that we got it wrong on saturated fats.  There is no data to justify the authorities' limits on these seed oils. It’s challenging to trust the government with our health when they recommend seed oils.   [31:00] Sorry Vegans, Meat-Eating Is Healthy For Humans  Nina did not know how controversial red meat was until she put a picture of it on the cover of her book.  Sadly, many people think that if you eat meat, you're a bad person, you don't believe in climate change, and you're not doing your part to protect the climate. There's this moral revulsion that has been created against meat. Influencers in the spheres of science and public health have vilified one of the healthiest foods on the planet.  Meat was developed by humans in order to have a convenient and cheap source of protein.   [33:15] Myth: Meat Causes Diabetes   Diabetes is caused by elevated blood sugars. Sugar causes elevated blood sugars, so do carbs.  Where's the sugar in meat? It's just nonexistent.  It's impossible that meat would cause diabetes. Red meat consumption has gone down around 28% since 1970. Whereas, diabetes has skyrocketed out of control.    [34:15] Myth: Red Meat Causes Colorectal Cancer The WHO decided that red meat and processed meats cause colorectal cancer. This decision was based on these kinds of weak science called epidemiological or observational studies that show associations instead of causation. The data they used was self-reported dietary data, and we all lie about what we eat. There needs to be a more significant discussion about the bias against red meat.   [38:30] Why People Are Pushing Vegetarian and Vegan Diets The animal rights movement does not want people eating animals. The Seventh Day Adventist Church has a religious belief that people should eat a vegan diet.Plus, the food industry has an enormous investment in plant-based foods. Also, many companies want to hop on the climate change bandwagon.  Many vegan burgers have vegetable oils that are not healthy.    [41:30] Myth: There’s a Correlation Between Red Meat Consumption and Heart Disease The original reason that red meat was thought to cause heart disease was based the fact that it contains saturated fat and cholesterol. However, research shows that saturated fat and cholesterol do not cause heart disease.  Therefore, foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol don't cause heart disease. The correlation between saturated fat, cholesterol, and heart disease has been more rigorously and extensively studied than almost any other scientific question in the history of nutrition science.    [47:15] Which To Cut First: Smoking Cigarettes, Processed Sugars, or Vegetable Oils  People smoked historically for hundreds of years tobacco, but they did not get cancer or heart disease until the introduction of sugar. Nina says that smoking is probably safer than processed sugars or vegetable oils.  Between sugar and vegetable oils, Nina says that vegetable oils are safer.  People who go low-carb will see massive improvements even if they continue to use vegetable oils.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Nina’s Website: https://ninateicholz.com Follow Nina Teicholz Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigfatsurprise Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NinaTeicholz/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninateicholz/ Get The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy/dp/1451624433/benazadi-20 Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Avoid highly processed sugars, the leading cause of liver transplants, and highly processed grains and flour. [19:10] Your Body Responds Positively to Diversity in Many Different Areas ·       The human body was made to eat all different things, be it meat or leafy vegetables, to receive a well-balanced diet. ·       The microbiome flourishes when fed different vegetable plants or called alpha diversity. ·       The better the variety you get, be it a protein, fruit, or vegetable source, the better our bodies thrive. [23:01] Movement: Simplest and Most Effective way to Have a Better Functioning Metabolism  ·       People should move their bodies daily in some way, shape, or form.  ·       There is a direct correlation between the time we spend seated and the incidence of all chronic diseases. ·       Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, gets released with exercise that increases our mental capacity, creativity, and memory. ·       Resistance training significantly impacts working against Age-Dependent Sarcopenia or losing muscles as people grow older. Muscle mass is needed to prevent chronic diseases and for a faster metabolism. [29:05] Optimize Your Sleep. Reset Your Hormones with a Good Night's Sleep ·       The glymphatic system is the system of the brain responsible for flushing out toxins through sleeping or autophagy.  ·  The first few minutes of the morning and some natural sunlight are important to get a good night's sleep.   ·       Do not eat 3 hours before bed, stay away from any devices 2 hours before bed, and have a consistent bedtime. ·       Getting a good night's sleep resets a person's hormones.  [34:41] Get Your Gut Healthy and Optimize the Stress in Your Life Having a healthy gut allows you to optimize your diet while taking care of all the other things. You're optimizing both your movement and your sleeping pattern. ·       According to a 2012 study, the first finding is the people that had very high stress; some of them had an increased risk of dying and comorbidities, while a subset of the group had some protective effect from stress. ·       The practice of breathing and exercise can change a person's physiology.

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.

Today, I am blessed to have Shawn Wells, MPH, LDN, RD, CISSN, FISSN join the show. He is a product formulator and expert in performance nutrition, longevity, fitness, and supplementation. He earned his master’s degree from UNC-Chapel Hill, where he studied nutritional biochemistry with a minor in exercise science. Shawn is a Registered Dietitian with a decade of experience as a Chief Clinical Dietitian in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. He is also a Certified Sports Nutritionist and has worked with celebrity clients and professional athletes. On the road to being dubbed “The World’s Greatest Formulator”, Biohacktivitst, and Keto Authority, Shawn faced and overcame significant obstacles with his own health—weight issues, depression, autoimmune conditions (Epstein-Barr, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), two cervical discs replacements, and a pituitary adenoma, which is a type of brain tumor. They say everything happens for a reason, and in Shawn’s case, his health problems led him down a winding path that required him to find science-based solutions, and they sparked his personal passion for biohacking. In this episode, Shawn Wells opens the show by diving straight into his story. After finding his passion for supplements, Shawn went through massive ups and downs to get him where he is today. Eventually, Shawn found keto, and the rest is history! He reveals the common mistakes that people make when first trying keto. Of course, we dig deep into supplements and talk about one of Shawn's favorites – dihydroberberine; it's a total game-changer. Tune in as we chat about Shawn's book and the importance of "exercise snacks."

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [00:40] About Shawn Wells And His Journey To Keto + Supplements Shawn went to business school because that’s what everyone else wanted him to do. Shawn ended up getting really into supplements. He would take supplements, work out and see all these changes in his body. Eventually, Shawn realized he needs to chase his dreams of being a formulator and working with athletes. So, Shawn told his counselor about his new dreams – he laughed at Shawn. Later that night, Shawn almost committed suicide because his dreams had been totally crushed. Eventually, Shawn got into his dream school and pursued his goals despite what his counselor told him. During this work, Shawn’s autoimmune system exploded; he had loads of issues. However, Shawn found keto, and it changed his life forever. [16:15] Common Mistakes That People Make When Trying Keto A lot of people try dirty keto by drinking diet sodas and using artificial sweeteners. Making your own keto desserts is another mistake. Also, many people think they can eat out and still eat keto. Shawn says he would try and eat Burger King while following the keto diet. Eating too much protein can be a mistake for people. Instead, think about eating more fat. That way, you feel full faster. The higher your ketones get, the more you will struggle to eat. If women can’t get into ketosis, Shawn says to try a period of strict keto. Down the road, you can play with net carbs. [23:20] Why Dihydroberberine Is A Total Game-Changer For Anti-Aging Metformin is the most powerful anti-aging agent that we have ever seen. People have been taking it for twenty years. In 90 days, people's biomarkers looked like there was an improvement of two years of longevity after using metformin. Dihydroberberine is the active metabolite of berberine. It is five to ten times more bioavailable. It doesn’t have the GI distress that metformin has. Plus, dihydroberberine lasts twice as long in the plasma. For keto and anti-aging, dihydroberberine is powerful! Get Genius Blood Sugar: https://thegeniusbrand.com/products/genius-blood-sugar [30:40] The Meaning Behind Limitless Potential From Shawn’s Book, The ENERGY Formula Shawn has had a love-hate thing with biohacking. In Shawn’s book, The ENERGY Formula, there’s a story about the importance of self-love and community. Shawn uses the word biohacking because people connect with it. However, Shawn knows there is no quick fix. We need a solid foundation of self-love and community. Then, we can use things for resilience and optimization. Find more ways to fall in love with yourself. That way, you can find your greatest potential. Get The ENERGY Formula: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08SCM7MHB/benazadi-20 [40:40] Shawn’s Favorite Benefits of “Exercise Snacks” (Sounds Great, Right?) Relationships are the number one predictor of longevity. Another predictor of longevity is grip strength. Take time to invest in your body. When you invest in your body, you have time for nutrition, meditation, and all these other things. A firm handshake will predict how long you live. The body in motion stays in motion. Find ways to exercise! Small exercises throughout the day have a greater impact on your health than one hour of exercise. Break up your periods of being sedentary with “exercise snacks.” AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me John Schott. Establishing himself as one of South Florida’s most groundbreaking and pioneering leaders in the health field, John set himself aside from the pack with the opening of his restaurant and retail space, Lifefood Gourmet, South Florida's first gourmet raw food restaurant. His food and health services have touched the lives of high profile celebrities, athletes, and executives. He is also very mindful of the value of giving his time and service for greater causes by volunteering his time to various charitable causes, implementing nutritional youth outreach programs and to teaching underprivileged children about healthy cooking and lifestyles. John leads workshops and detox retreats in Florida, New York City, and South America.  He has attained certifications such as Iridologist from NY Center for Iridology based on Bernard Jensen Iridology, Lifefood Culinary Chef & Phoenix Fastician from Jubb’s Longevity Live Food Culinary Chef from NYC. John has studied closely with the top pioneering authors & practitioners for the last 10 years in the alternative health field. His knowledge of and experience with detoxification, nutritional cleansing, wellness & lifestyle coaching has led him to create a model evolving from a decade of apprenticeship, self-study, and hands-on application with hundreds of clients. He has in-depth insights into areas of health pertained to nutritional timing (or “ time conscious" eating), Gerson Therapy, and other alternative healing modalities & longevity strategies. John has created health and performance programs for some of the world's highest performance professionals. In this episode, John Schott opens the show by diving deep into his journey and why he started in the health space. Then, we jump into using a foam roller and lacrosse ball to relieve pain properly. Later, John gives us the scoop on his book, Rewilding Covid: Natural and Practical Health Solutions for Optimizing Your Immunity During the Coronavirus Pandemic and Beyond. Tune in as we chat about the importance of grounding, how movement can change your life, and why breathing correctly is critical for overall health.  90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

On John’s health journey, he explored vegetarian diets and vegan diets. In fact, he was vegan for almost seven years. One day, John found peace and realized that the only thing you need is to love. It made him double down on the practice of wellness, health, and vitality. The concept of health is so important and so fascinating that John is still passionate about it after all these years. The health space is a great place to be right now because a lot of people are waking up to it finally. [12:00] How To Use A Foam Roller And Lacrosse Ball Properly Hamstrings usually get very tight. So, put the lacrosse ball on a hard chair under the most tender points of the hamstring, and let your muscles sink into it. As you sink into it the ball, you're basically pinning that trigger point. Also, you will be alleviating the calcium deposit. Sawing away at a foam roller is not the best approach. Instead, use the pin and shear method on your foam roller. Using a foam roller or lacrosse ball is better after a workout rather than before. [20:50] Why John Wanted To Write A Book About Covid Honestly, John didn’t want to write a book about Covid. However, the book is what we need because of Covid. When John says Rewilding Covid, it means taking your health into your own hands. Rewilding means tuning ourselves back into the wild aspect of what makes us a real human. Plus, it means that you're mimicking basically what our ancestors did naturally. For John, being wild means having freedom. Ideally, we will all wind up being in control of our spirit. “We are wild humans at heart.” -John Schott [31:40] The Power of Human Adaptability During Covid The one thing that we can control is how we interact with our environment and how we adapt. One of the most fascinating things about humans is our ability to adapt. As our environments change, we have to change with the environment. We need to help our body become more resilient, stronger, and better. Even if there is a virus in our environment, we know how to make changes and adapt. [38:55] What Is Grounding And Can It Improve Health? The beautiful thing about grounding is that it's free. We have generations and ancestral templates of being connected to the magnetic frequency of the Earth. The Earth has a pulse and a magnetic frequency that's anti-inflammatory, restorative, and rejuvenating. With grounding, your body can breathe, and your cells can breathe. For ten minutes each day, take your shoes off and put your feet on the bare ground. When grounding, you will feel less stress. [43:15] John Gives Tips On How You Can Become More Resilient Weave in movement throughout the day, as much as you can; it is very critical for overall health. John says that walking is very underrated. Going for long walks is extremely healthy, and it is restorative. Sometimes, what you need is more restoration. If you sit for long periods of time, stand up every thirty minutes and shake it out. Once that body starts feeling strong and good, it affects the way you think. When people have clogged limbs, and they're not able to detoxify properly. So, get moving! [45:20] The Importance of Proper Breathing For Overall Health Oxygen is life! Most of the time, people have cold hands and feet because they are not getting proper oxygen to the extremities. Sometimes, reproduction, libido, and the drive that we have for life will get challenged because of the lack of oxygenation. The way we breathe and what we're breathing is fundamental. Do deep diaphragmatic breathing through your nose – never through the mouth. Get good quality plants to help oxygenate the air. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Joan Ifland. With the publication of her textbook, Processed Food Addiction, Dr. Ifland is considered to be the world's leading expert in processed food addiction. Backed by new technology developed in the textbook, Dr. Ifland has developed cutting-edge innovations in online programs addressing compulsive overeating and diet-related diseases.  With the introduction of RESET WEEK and the Daily Addiction Reset Community (Daily ARC), Dr. Ifland has brought recovery from compulsive overeating to a new level of effectiveness.   Her programs are easy to access. They save time and money for members while engaging participation for the long run. Members who have not had control over food since early childhood are now able to eat planned, healthy meals.  In this episode, Dr. Ifland talks about the inspiration behind her career in processed food addiction. If you're starting to ditch processed foods, it can be hard to go out with friends or be at home with your family for the holidays. It would help if you started associating processed foods with how they make you feel. Dr. Ifland dives into how the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry are making people's health much worse. Tune in as we chat about breaking a food addiction and the problem with most dietitians.

After that, she became a yo-yo dieter. She would try only to eat 1200 calories a day. However, this was making her processed food addiction worse. There are court documents that reveal companies took the tobacco addiction model and transferred it to sugar for children. It's not normal to think about food when you're not hungry. Americans think about food obsessively. After ditching processed foods, Dr. Ifland got rid of her brain fog, bloating, and a sinus infection. Plus, she was losing two pounds a week. Over 70% of the country in the US is now overweight or obese. Americans are deeply addicted to processed foods, and they don’t even know about it.  [12:25] You Need To Associate Processed Foods With The Pain You Feel Just because everyone is eating something, that doesn’t mean you should eat it too. You need to associate certain foods with the pain you feel from them. For instance, “I don’t eat that because it gives me a headache.” You want to retrain brain cells to associate foods with the pain you feel.   [16:55] You Can Addict Any Human To Any Substance If You Get Them Young Enough Smoking used to be the leading cause of preventable death globally. Now, diet-related diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Smoking and diets are based on the same business model. The business model goes like this: Advertising Availability Affordability Young age of onset Hidden addictive product formulation The younger someone is when you addict them, the harder it will be for them to overcome the addiction. [32:20] Overeating Is An Addiction Done To You By The Food Industry It takes years to go to a social situation and not be bothered by people eating processed foods. The conformance tribe is significantly activated by food and by people you know well. The better you know a person, the more likely they will be able to trigger you into eating something bad. Overeating and diet-related diseases were done to you for profit by the food industry. [36:45] Free Donuts For Anyone Who Gets A Vaccine!   There is corruption in the pharmaceutical industry. 60% of Covid deaths are in people who have an underlying diet-related condition. People wouldn't have been able to eat enough processed foods to get a condition unless their addiction was driving them. The message to the world should have been about metabolic health. The addiction business model is also used by the pharmaceutical industry. [42:10] True or False: Sugar Addiction Is Not A Real Thing Dietitians are the “professional” arm of the processed food industry. The medical community is the marketing arm of the pharmaceutical industry. 40% of dietitians work for the processed food industry. If you’ve been to a conference for dietitians, they are sponsored by Kraft and Nabisco. Luckily, many dieticians are rebelling against processed foods. Check out Processed Food Addiction: http://processedfoodaddiction.com/ Read the Book Processed Food Addiction: https://www.amazon.com/Processed-Food-Addiction-Foundations-Assessment/dp/0367503425/benazadi-20 [45:00] The First Steps To Breaking Food Addiction It’s a very difficult process of acceptance, breaking through all the insanity you see out there and accepting that it's a severe addiction. Processed food addictions are deliberately made worse by the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry. You need to go and ask for help to recover from your addiction. Also, you need to be really patient on your journey. Lastly, you need to incorporate healthy living into your life. [51:40] When Can You Start Eating Sugar Again?  People think that they will always want sugar. If you give up processed foods, then you will stop the cravings. Only 1% of the food in a grocery store is actually food. The rest of it is all drugs. Overall, Dr. Ifland says to have hope.

[10:09] The Dark Side Of The Skincare Industry In 1938, the Food and Cosmetics Act was passed, and the only ingredient requiring pre-market safety testing and skincare were color additives.  Today,  the Food and Cosmetics Act has been updated, but this time, cosmetics are excluded. This results in the preeminent legislation protecting consumers requiring premarket safety testing in skincare is almost 100 years old. Historically, plant-based skincare has been something that was reserved for the elite class because it is hard to produce. However, common people do not use skin care since they are always in close contact with animal fat. Plant-based skincare propaganda doesn't necessarily mean it's healthy. Most of them are loaded with vegetable oils and toxic ingredients, which harms our body. [17:14] Still Using Skincare with Toxic Ingredients? Protect Your Body, Stop It Now! Humans are a very resilient species, but we have our limits. Nowadays, we reached the tipping point of toxic environmental overload of our environment, and skincare largely contributes to it. Avoid skincare products with water because bacteria propagate faster in water. In America, 11 chemicals are prohibited from skincare. But in Europe, over 1300 regulated chemicals are either prohibited or limited for use in skincare. The Government focuses on the profits they can get rather than protecting the people. So take ownership and responsibility for your health. Modern skincare is drying you out and aging your skin faster.  [33:50] The Truth About Pigs: The Benefits of Pig Fat For Your Body Pigs are dirty animals if you don't properly cook them. But they are also magical animals if you raise them outside in the sun, feed them properly, and always give them fresh pasture. Pigs are four-legged humans. Practice surgeons use them because their organs and skins are close to the human body.  The environment of the industrial market for pigs and chickens is awful, which is what makes them dirty compared to farm animals that are raised properly and develop vitamins vital for our bodies. Lard is rendered subcutaneous belly fat from a pig. [41:19] Animal-Based Skincare: Benefits of Using Farrow Products To Take Care of Your Skin Farrow offers products such as skin food, face food, and a sublingual CBD elixir. The ingredients are the same between the skin and face food, but the ratios are different. Going outside, using skin food is the best choice. Their face-specific product is formulated with a little bit more leaf lard, which is colorless and odorless, whereas lard has a little bit of an animal fat smell and taste. Tallow is the rendered visceral fat from a ruminant animal. Mos predominantly beef.  Farrow's products are temperature-sensitive. [51:44] Where Does Farrow’s Skincare Product Ingredients Come From? Fallow’s raw ingredient comes from Joyce Farms, the source for keto carnivore snacks and carnivore bars, and so they are a vertically integrated pasture-based high-quality meat producer.  Raising a healthy and happy pig is critical to creating high-quality skincare products.

Today, I am blessed to have David Schmidt here with me. David’s experience in business and product development spans over 30 years and includes a formal education in Management Information Systems and Biology at Pace University in Pleasantville, NY. David then went on to pursue several entrepreneurial endeavors and, as a result, owned successful companies involved in manufacturing and product development.  In this episode, David explains his belief in the potential for humans to live to a thousand years, rooted in biblical accounts and supported by emerging scientific perspectives. David's research focuses on biomimetics, which involves studying living organisms and mimicking their systems with technology. His work with planaria, ants, and lobsters has led to the development of technologies that activate stem cells and alter gene expression using light, demonstrating significant longevity enhancements. David's findings, he believes, point to intelligent design and the presence of a divine code in biological systems, aligning with his religious beliefs and underscoring the potential for extending human life through scientific advancements. Tune in as David explains that melatonin is extraordinary in longevity research due to its balancing role in the mitochondria's antioxidant and oxidative systems, alongside glutathione and nitric oxide. Elevating glutathione to match nitric oxide levels supports ATP production. To achieve extended lifespans, supporting the body's antioxidant systems and nitric oxide precursors like citrulline is crucial.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. John Demartini. He is a polymath and a world-renowned human behavior expert. Students have described his work as the "most comprehensive body of work” and "an extensive library of wisdom.” Dr. John Demartini's mission and vision is to share knowledge and wisdom that empowers you to become a master of your own life and destiny. He's an internationally published author, a global educator, and the founder of the Demartini Method, a revolutionary tool in modern psychology. His education curriculum ranges from personal growth seminars to corporate empowerment programs. His teachings synthesize knowledge and wisdom from the greatest minds through history, and his curriculum is designed to help you empower and inspire all seven areas of your life. In this episode, Dr. Demartini joins the show to talk about how symptoms are your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. When you have a symptom, your body tries to guide you on moderating your behavior and living wisely. Tough conversations can even lead to symptoms; for instance, your sympathetic nervous system activates during a problematic confrontation, and blood sugar increases. Tune in as we chat about why judging people harms your health and how the right job can be great for your cardiovascular system.

Instead, you should eat to perform at your peak.  You won’t have symptoms out of the blue when you eat moderately quality foods. You can always trace your symptoms to a reason.  Sadly, we have overlooked what the body’s wisdom is.  The Wisdom of The Body: https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Body-Walter-B-Cannon/dp/0393002055/benazadi-20 [08:55] How The Sympathetic Nervous System Can Increase Blood Sugar Doctors are notorious for asking diabetes patients not to eat sugar and gain weight. However, these patients don’t often want to be told what to do.  During these tough conversations, when someone has their sympathetic nervous system activated their blood sugar increases.  Sadly, we don’t give people their accountability back to change their health.  You can get a biochemical imbalance because you store up psychological issues that keep affecting hormones and transmitters.  [28:50] You Can Take Control of Your Own Recovery and Your Own Life  Take command of your life. Find alternatives to your health problems. There is no reason to exclude a health alternative.  Love, Medicine and Miracles: Lessons Learned about Self-Healing from a Surgeon's Experience with Exceptional Patients: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Medicine-Miracles-Self-Healing-Exceptional/dp/0060919833/benazadi-20 Overall, patients can participate in their own recovery.  [44:25] The Right Job Is Good For Your Health and Cardiovascular Risk Most people have the Monday morning blues.  Sadly, many people are not inspired by their work. If you have an imbalance in cytokines, your immune system responds. You will have serious problems if your sympathetic and parasympathetic are out of balance.  When someone is inspired by their work, their heart rate variability increases, their cytokines are normal, their blood pressure is down, and they don’t have any cardiovascular risk.  [50:40] Why Judging Other People Is Harmful To Your Health  When you look up to people, you minimize yourself, and your parasympathetic system dominates.  When you look down on people and resent them, you exaggerate yourself, and your sympathetic system dominates.  Whenever you judge, you feel empty.  Instead, we want to feel fulfilled; love fulfills.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Thomas Seyfried here with me. Thomas N. Seyfried received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, in 1976. He did his undergraduate work at the University of New England, where he recently received the distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. He also holds a Master’s degree in Genetics from Illinois State University. Thomas Seyfried served with distinction in the United States Army’s First Cavalry Division during the Vietnam War and received numerous medals and commendations. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Neurology at the Yale University School of Medicine and then served on the faculty as an Assistant Professor in Neurology. Dr. Seyfried argues that cancer is a metabolic disease, not a genetic one, and suggests that lifestyle factors play a role in its development. He highlights that if you wanted to get cancer, you would adopt a sedentary lifestyle, consume highly processed foods with long shelf lives, avoid fresh food, experience high levels of emotional stress, and deprive yourself of sleep. He notes that many people engage in these behaviors unknowingly, leading to increased rates of cancer, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic diseases. Seyfried's point is that to prevent cancer, individuals should focus on maintaining metabolic health through exercise, proper diet, stress management, and quality sleep. Dr. Seyfried highlights that the current medical understanding of cancer is rooted in the idea that it is a genetic disease, a concept taught in medical schools and upheld by oncologists. These professionals are trained to use traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, focusing on managing toxicity rather than addressing the root cause. Seyfried argues that cancer is a metabolic disease driven by glucose and glutamine, but this crucial information is missing from training. He emphasizes the need for metabolic therapy, which targets the fuels cancer cells depend on while keeping healthy cells thriving, notably through ketosis. He expresses frustration at the medical community's resistance to acknowledging this approach despite mounting evidence that metabolic interventions could starve cancer cells and slow tumor growth. Tune in as Dr. Seyfried explains that while animals are hardwired to eat for survival, humans, with conscious awareness, can override this instinct, which can lead to disorders like anorexia. He highlights that modern diets, full of processed carbohydrates and fats, are far removed from what our ancestors ate, causing health issues like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Additionally, he critiques the financial burden of cancer treatments, calling the system immoral, especially for the economically disadvantaged.

[10:05] Your Health is Your Wealth ·       Conventional medicine in America is often called "health care," but it's "sick care" because it only focuses on treating symptoms and doesn't teach people how to be healthy. ·       Wake Up and Aikido camp teaches people how to be healthy and is an example of health care. ·       Eating clean and caring for your body is important for optimal health and can lead to a smaller, less leaky gut with fewer toxins seeping through. ·       It's okay to occasionally eat less healthy foods if your gut is healthy and able to handle it. ·       The goal is progress, not perfection, and developing metabolic flexibility is important for long-term health. [17:15] What to Look For When Buying Red Meat  ·       Labels on meat products can be misleading and is often a selling tactic. ·       Consumers should be aware of the terms used, such as "natural," "no hormones," "no antibiotics," "grass-fed," "vegetarian fed," etc. ·       Most cows are fed inflammatory foods like grains, which can lead to health problems for the cows and the consumers who eat their meat. ·       Some cows are even fed candy bars to fatten them up for more profit. ·       High-quality meat is important for better nutrition and anti-inflammatory properties. ·       Grass-fed and finished is the best option, as it means the cow has eaten grass from start to finish of its life. [22:05] The Worst Artificial Sweeteners vs The Best Sugar Replacements Some inflammatory artificial sweeteners are sucralose and brown rice syrup. At the same time, some recommended sugar replacements are Coconut Sugar (less refined, lower glycemic index), Pure Maple Syrup, Non-GMO Monkfruit, Dates (and date syrup), and Raw Honey.  ·   Brown rice syrup may be perceived as healthy but is often found in products with other inflammatory ingredients. ·       The recommended sugar replacements are less refined and often have better nutritional value than artificial sweeteners. ·       Stevia is disliked due to the harsh chemicals used to extract it, which can cause gut disruption for some people. ·       Monk fruit is a better alternative, as it has a zero glycemic index and does not cause the same issues as stevia. ·   Many people have noticed positive digestion and overall health changes after eliminating stevia from their diets. [28:50] Is Oatmeal Actually Healthy For You? ·   Oats can be considered in the gray area of healthy foods due to their pros and cons. ·       Most oats are sprayed with glyphosate, a pesticide that promotes inflammation and can harm health. ·       Oats are high in phytic acid, an anti-nutrient that prevents the body from absorbing necessary nutrients. ·       Too much phytic acid can lead to gut issues, inflammation, arthritis, and brain fog. ·       Organic and sprouted oats are better options for consuming oats. [47:55] The Top 5 Most Commonly Asked Questions About Food Labels ·       Consume high-quality protein from grass-fed beef, mackerel, and fish instead of relying on protein bars. Read the labels on coffee creamers carefully and choose cleaner options like Three Trees almond milk, which contains only water and almonds, cashews, or walnuts. Eating real, whole foods to improve health and well-being. Notice how certain foods make you feel and adjust your diet accordingly. Liposomal vitamin C is better absorbed into the body and can be more effective than traditional vitamin C supplements. Many people avoid bread while dieting, but it's not necessary. However, keep in mind to avoid grains and pseudo-grains. AND MUCH MORE!

The ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting is great, but it will only get you so far in this day and age. The number 1 cause of weight loss plateaus and weight gain, is cellular inflammation. The number 1 cause of cellular inflammation is toxins. Toxicity is a Generational Epidemic. “I believe there are 3 main toxins affecting 4 generations that are leading to an explosion of chronic disease and obesity.” – Dr. Daniel Pompa Lead Mercury Glyphosate From The Womb to The Tomb The Environmental Working Group (EWG) examined the cord blood of newborns and found… They began life exposed to as many as 287 of the 413 toxic chemicals in the study 180 chemicals found are known to cause cancer Cancer rates in children have risen 67.1% since 1950.

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

The lack of that self-worth issue also fuels Joel and drives him to get better and do more. After having his first son, Joel saw that his son was not flourishing – it didn’t make sense. Joel knew there had to be a better way to be healthy. Sadly, our current health system only looks at the effects instead of the cause. “There are so many people suffering that shouldn't be, and that just drives me nuts.” -Joel Evan [07:30] What Joel Would Tell Someone To Focus On Who Is Trying To Get Healthy Joel likes to help men with weight loss. However, when you help somebody with weight loss, there are so many other things going on with that person. A lot of times, Joel will help people emotionally and who they become as a person after their weight loss. After seeing Joel, people have a complete transformation. It's not necessarily about hitting the goal, but who we become along the way. [10:50] Joel Reveals The Best Ways To Create Healthy Habits The first step in any kind of habit is you need to have awareness. Next, make your habits tiny, easy, and achievable. The fastest way to get to a habit is you want to anchor it to something that you're already doing. For instance, brushing your teeth is a great anchor because you do that every single day. If you want to start reading more, then after you brush your teeth, open up the book and close the book. That’s all you have to do! Eventually, you’ll start reading a page every night. Down the road, that page will turn into a chapter every night. [14:10] How Your Beliefs Are Playing A Role In Your Health Creating a lifestyle will require a foundation. You should be able to tune back in and align yourself with core fundamentals and then get back and do what you got to do. People don't realize how much their beliefs play a role in their health and day-to-day life. As you go about your day, ask yourself why you do what you do. People don’t question you because they are aligned with you. During Covid, people believed that if they didn't wear a mask, they would get sick. Well, if you take on that belief, you probably will get sick. Once you balance the body, the body can go and do whatever it wants. [22:10] Why Joel Recommends Wearing A Continuous Glucose Monitor If you're someone who is really interested in losing weight, then a CGM is the best way to get clean data on what foods are doing to you. Food sensitivities can have issues on the downstream effects in your body, cortisol, and anything like that. Joel loves coffee. However, it was pretty frightening to see what a cold brew coffee did to his blood glucose. Joel even saw 180 from drinking cold brew on his CGM. [29:50] Joel Reveals His Favorite Biohack - The NeuFit System The NeuFit System is one of Joel’s favorite biohacks. One of the most influential and transformative ways to help people recover from pain and injury is to work with something often overlooked in the traditional medical model - the nervous system. The NeuFit System uses technology to help the body become more efficient with its own processes. Sadly, traditional rehab and training often have poor results because there is not enough of the right type of stimulation. That’s why Joel loves NeuFit because our organs vibrate at a certain frequency or current. Joel recommends reading Frequency Specific Microcurrent in Pain Management: https://www.amazon.com/Frequency-Specific-Microcurrent-Management-2010-12-03/dp/B01K0TS16K/benazadi-20 Also, check out NeuFit: https://www.neu.fit/homeold  [36:45] The Top Four Books That Can Make An Impact On Your Life First, Joel recommends reading Keto Flex: The 4 Secrets to Reduce Inflammation, Burn Fat & Reboot Your Metabolism: https://www.amazon.com/Keto-Flex-Secrets-Inflammation-Metabolism-ebook/dp/B08YFM83DD/benazadi-20 Next, Joel recommends reading Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial: https://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Giant-Within-Immediate-Emotional-ebook/dp/B001EM101Q/benazadi-20 Lastly, Joel says to read The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed on Your Own Terms: https://www.amazon.com/Code-Extraordinary-Mind-Unconventional-Redefine-ebook/dp/B0182SMOBE/ref=sr_1_3?crid=PE8PBY2N176K&dchild=1&/benazadi-20 Bonus!

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

Today, I am blessed to have here with me 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-minute walk outside. A dip into a cold ocean, lake, river, or pool. [41:30] Surviving On One Single Diet You can get all the nutrients and vitamins that you need from meat. Humans can survive and thrive on an all-meat diet. Athletes need more carbohydrates. However, most people can get by on a carnivore diet. Many cultures have relied on plants and herbs as food sources and medicine sources. There is a social context to our diet too. We should be able to eat different elements and bring happiness to our life.

Follow this routine 5 times per week so you can target belly fat, and spot reduce love handles. Yes, you can spot reduce, and this video shows you the science behind it. Tip number 1 consume green tea on an empty stomach. Green tea contains catechins, and research shows green tea can help you lose weight especially around stomach fat and love handles. 🤓 [STUDY] https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/1... My favorite green tea products: Yogi: https://amzn.to/3oo83pO Pique: https://amzn.to/3mNkLhK Tip number 2 excise on empty stomach start with core. It's true, hiit workout for fat loss is a powerful tool to get rid of love handles. The reason we start the workout with core is to deliver blood flow to your stomach fat, belly fat and love handles; follow this with a hiit workout and you'll get more fat loss in your stomach area. These are the best workouts to lose belly fat. Workout on an empty stomach, and begin the workout with 10 minute of core (abdominal work). Tabata planks, butterfly sit ups, hollow body rocks. Then burst training focusing on a lot of squats. For more check out GC3 Fitness: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZT-... Tip number 3 continue fasting for 2-5+ hours. Fasting is a great way to help you lose belly fat, for men and women. When the workout is done, continue fasting so you can raise human growth hormone which is a powerful fat burning hormone.

In this episode, you'll discover 5 reasons why you aren't on ketosis yet, and 3 proven ways to accelerate ketosis.  Free Keto Masterclass: http://www.ketosismasterclass.com Free Keto 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// R E S O U R C E S // T I M E S T A M P S 01:30 Video overview. Does too much protein kick you out of ketosis? The role electrolytes play with getting into ketosis fast. Why toxins might be the reason why you can’t get into ketosis.  02:00 The first reason why you aren’t in ketosis… too many carbohydrates. If you’ve wondered how many carbs you should eat to get into ketosis, you’ll find the answer here. Keep an eye out for carbohydrate creep. It’s important to read the ingredients list. Some people need to drop total carbohydrates to under 20 grams in order to achieve ketosis.    03:15 The second reason why you aren’t producing ketones… a process called electrolyte dumping. When your body transitions away from being a sugar burner to a fat burner, it releases excess water. When you don’t replenish electrolytes on keto, this can result in common symptoms when doing keto such as brain fog, the keto flu, and not feeling good on the keto diet.  Consume 1-2 teaspoons of high quality salt. I use Redmond’s Real Salt: Here are other ways to replenish your electrolytes and minerals on the ketogenic diet… Real Salt: https://bit.ly/38NsoPi​ use the coupon code azadi for 10% off Re-Lyte Electrolyte Powder: https://bit.ly/3rJTsYf​ coupon code azadi 10% off MicroDaily: https://bit.ly/3rIGV7x 06:48 The third reason why your ketones are low… you might be fasting too much. Can you practice intermittent fasting with the keto diet? Yes, they go hand in hand. However, fasting is a muscle you want to develop over time.    08:35 The number four reason why you can’t get into ketosis on keto…. Poor sleep and too much stress. Yes, too much stress will kick you out of ketosis. When cortisol is high, glucose follows and ketones drop.  Sleep deprivation and higher cortisol and insulin https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sleep-deprivation-obesity/ 09:47 Sleep issues on keto? Follow these tips.  The Power of Sleep Book: https://amzn.to/3pJGLLz 11:24 The fifth reason why you have low ketones on a ketogenic diet…. Toxins! This is the most common reason why people struggle to get into ketosis, or why you keep getting kicked out of ketosis. This is why you don’t feel good on keto.  The Fasting Trio: https://bit.ly/2WKSBrL Free Toxicity Quiz: http://www.toxicmiami.com 15:30 The bonus reason why you can’t stay in ketosis …. Unstable fats such as vegetables oils and fish oil.  18:20 How fish oil is sabotaging your keto results.  STUDY: Page 251 in the PEO Solution: "21st Century Warning: 4½ Months to Rid Patients of the Damaging Fish Oil Excess21 It takes 18 weeks to reverse the negative effect of the incorporation of EPA / DHA from fish oil into the cell membrane. This four–month time frame is important to understand, as it coincides precisely with the time frame of significant vascular health improvement, that was accelerated by ceasing fish oil use, as shown in the IOWA screening experiment." 20:20 3 proven ways to get into ketosis fast.  MCT’s are 3 fatty acid groups with a glycerol backbone  Their metabolization is unique and gives us instant energy 3 types of fats, short chain, medium and long chain C8 Caprylic has been shown to be the most efficient for ketone production MCT’s are not stored as fat, they are used for fuel and converted into ketones immediately Combine C8 with coconut oil to help get the spike in ketones from C8 and the conversion from coconut oil.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Amanda Nighbert. She is a registered dietitian specializing in weight loss nutrition, a fitness enthusiast, and a working mom of two.  This is a repeat episode from September 2021.  Amanda is passionate about motivating, supporting, and educating people to meet their wellness goals. She has worked in weight loss for the past 19 years, helping thousands of people reach their wellness goals. Amanda is so excited to have the opportunity to work with even more people via her online programs.  She is an avid reader and feels that the science behind weight loss, diet, and nutrition is constantly changing. This rapid change can create confusion and frustration with the average person trying to be successful at weight loss. Amanda's goal is to bring the latest, cutting-edge strategies and techniques to her clients in the most concise and educational manner.   Amanda is a strong believer that dieting is temporary, something you start and stop. Therefore it is more important to focus on lifestyle changes to see long-term weight loss success truly. Amanda's goal is to teach her clients simple yet effective lifestyle changes they can make and easily sustain to see lasting results. Success does not have to be about perfection but rather more consistency. She believes in implementing strategies that work in the real world, with real people who lead real, hectic, and often crazy lives. First, Amanda speaks about why eating a fat-free diet doesn't work and how following that trend almost landed her on statins. Then, Amanda dives into the number one reason why dieters will always fail. We also talk about why intermittent fasting is excellent for weight loss. Eating before bedtime can be ruining your progress; so, Amanda gives tips on how to curb your late-night eating habits. Tune in as we chat about the importance of metabolic flexibility and why you're not losing weight from the advice of your registered dietician.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [00:30] Low-Fat Diets: Why Eating A Fat-Free Diet Doesn’t Work As a registered dietitian, Amanda was living and breathing the “heart-healthy diet.” Amanda thought she was doing everything right. She ate low-fat, whole grains, and no eggs.  Her weight was healthy. Yet, her cholesterol was over 300.  The doctor prescribed Amanda statins at the age of 32. Instead, Amanda wanted to try and fix the problem on her own.  So Amanda read the book The Great Cholesterol Myth: Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease-and the Statin-Free Plan That Will. You can find a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Cholesterol-Myth-Disease-Statin-Free/dp/1592335217/benazadi-20 She realized that reducing inflammation would improve her numbers. After six months, she got her numbers under 200.  [07:35] The Number One Reason Why Dieters Fail The number one reason why people fail is the all-or-nothing mindset. We feel like we have to be perfect to make progress.  How to break your all-or-nothing mindset: Practice progress over perfection. Learn the power of resetting immediately. Always do something.  When someone can’t do it all, then they choose to do nothing. Instead of trying to do it all, pick one thing to focus on for the week to come.  [14:00] Intermittent Fasting and Why Amanda Loves It For Weight Loss  Breakfast is not actually the most important meal of the day. It took Amanda ten years of being a dietitian to realize that.  There are actual physiological processes in the body that help us thrive in a fasted state.  It’s effortless to be an intuitive eater. Time-restricted eating is not a diet. It’s not about what you eat. Instead, it’s all about when you eat.  Amanda loves intermittent fasting because it’s flexible. You don’t have to fast every single day.  Lastly, fasting is free, and it doesn’t cost you any money!  [18:00] Fasting Before Bed: Tips To Stop Your Late Night Eating Habits  Drink herbal tea in the evening. Non-caloric beverages are also okay to drink before bed. You can also adjust your eating window.  If you prefer to eat more in the evening, then eat less in the morning.  Start with a 12 hour fast, then ease your way into a 16 hour fast.  [20:20] We Eat Way Too Much! Eat Until You’re Full and Lose Weight For some reason, people want to graze all day long. The reason you are eating all day long is that you’re not eating to fullness.  You can eat 700 calories during one meal and still lose weight.  People are scared of calories, fats, and carbs. At mealtimes, we are significantly undereating, which leads to more snacking.  Sadly, people are eating every hour and a half.  Finding six healthy things to eat throughout the day is impossible. Usually, the first three things you eat are healthy; then, the last three are not. Instead, we need to eat solid meals and stop snacking.  [24:30] Metabolic Inflexibility Is A Key Risk Factor For Covid-19 During Covid, the conversation should be focused on metabolic health. If we had true metabolic health, Covid wouldn’t be such an issue. 88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible and unhealthy.  We should get outside and get vitamin D. Also, Americans need quality protein, healthy fats, and to go outside and walk.  Everyone's health has deteriorated significantly. We are now way more prone to any type of disease and virus. [28:00] Why You're Not Losing Weight From Your Registered Dietician  You’re not losing weight because you are sitting all day long.  Sitting is the new smoking!  Taking a walk after a meal will result in lower blood sugar. That’s the power of activity. When we eat and lay around, our blood sugar response will be much greater.  Another reason you aren’t losing weight is that you are focusing on calories instead of macros.  Losing weight is all about blood sugar regulation. Carbs digest rapidly, so they leave you wanting more.  [40:20] Should You Avoid Carbohydrates For The Rest of Your Life?  The only right way to keto is to cycle. It’s not healthy to be in ketosis forever. If you’re fat-adapted, you will be able to curb your cravings. Plus, you’ll be able to eat carbs and still feel fine.  People need to have an understanding of what a good carb level is for them. [44:20] Do You Need Electrolyte Supplementation On A Keto Diet? Electrolytes are your missing link. There’s a huge power of sodium, potassium, and magnesium.  Without adequate hydration, you can't metabolize fat. Thirst and hunger are similar signals.  If you don’t have enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium, you will feel weak and hangry.    AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Ryan Brown. Having battled years of eating disorders and the chronic consequences of such behavior, Ryan has decided to embark on another healing journey, bringing you the no-BS truth about healing using a ketogenic lifestyle! Where being fat adapted is king and allows you to pursue your individual health goals! In this episode, Ryan opens up about his eating disorder; he went from 88 pounds to 130. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of his health problems. Ryan speaks about his small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN) diagnosis. Plus, he talks about detoxing from heavy metals and mold toxicity. Later, Ryan dives into all things ketosis and busts some common misconnections people have around a keto lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about the importance of animal-based protein, cholesterol, and the most significant pharmaceutical scam in the medical industry.  Download your FREE seed oil allergy card here: http://www.seedoilcard.com  Join Ben Azadi's 90 day heavy metal detox program (9 spots available): https://ketokamp.clickfunnels.com/order-page-a  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

He was 88 pounds and dealt with severe anorexia.  Plus, Ryan was suffering from hardcore mental health problems. Eventually, Ryan got his weight up to 130. However, that wasn’t the end of his health problems.  Despite gaining weight, Ryan’s energy never returned, and he never addressed his emotional trauma from childhood.   Later, Ryan was diagnosed with small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN).  [11:40] Mercury in Tuna: Measuring Heavy Metals in Human Hair  One of Ryan Brown’s heroes is Dr. Terry Wahls. Learn more about Dr. Wahls here: https://terrywahls.com When Ryan did a deep dive on functional medicine, he looked at his mercury levels. At one point, Ryan had been eating tuna daily for four years.  When Ryan tested his hair follicle levels for mercury, his levels came back extremely high.  Blood tests will look at acute mercury, but they won’t give you chronic levels of mercury.  The bigger the fish, the more toxins they are going to have.  [18:20] Mold Toxicity: Getting Your Energy Levels Back With a Heavy Metal Detox Another deep dive Ryan did on his health was regarding mold toxicity.  In LA, Ryan found black mold in his home; he lived in it for over a year. After moving out of that environment, Ryan’s energy levels finally increased. Detoxing from heavy metals and staying in ketosis have been total game-changers for Ryan’s health.  [21:15] Free Tools to Improve and Support Your Mental Health  Ryan will start his day by journaling. He writes about good things that are going on in his life.  Once you believe in something, great things are going to happen.  Plus, Ryan will spend as much time outside as possible.  He loves to ground himself and practice breathing. Breathwork is one of the most potent mindset tools that we have.  [27:40] Why Ryan Is Such a Big Fan of Getting Into Ketosis  Ketosis is one of the most potent therapeutic tools anyone can use as a human being. Ketosis will help reset your body and give you humanity back. Infants are in ketosis, and women during pregnancy are in ketosis too.  So many people in the United States are metabolically inflexible. Every single one of these people can benefit from ketosis.  [30:10] Ryan Debunks Common Misconceptions About Keto  Too many health coaches and influencers are making ketosis complicated. Ketosis is not complex; it’s simple.  One of the biggest mistakes people make is eating things that are labeled “keto.”  Nothing in the world labeled “keto” beats eating real and whole foods.  You need to focus on real food instead of packaged and processed goods. Another thing people are getting wrong is worrying about eating too much protein. It’s actually pretty challenging to get into gluconeogenesis.  [35:40] Animal-Based Proteins Are Amazing for the Human Body  Pretty much everything you hear mainstream, almost the opposite is true.  Animals have the full array of amino acids that the human body needs. While on the other hand, plants do not have the full array of amino acids we need. Ryan is a massive fan of eating fatty red meat.  You need cholesterol to synthesize vitamin D. Also, don’t be afraid to eat eggs; eggs are great for your hormones.  [39:30] Cholesterol Is Critical for the Body and Your Overall Health More people die from heart disease with normal to low cholesterol than with high cholesterol.  Cholesterol is essential; your membrane is made up of partly cholesterol. Ryan says that statins are the most significant pharmaceutical scam in the medical industry.  Learn more about cholesterol from Dave Feldman: https://www.dietdoctor.com/authors/dave-feldman AND MUCH MORE!

Today I interview, an investor, author, public speaker, lifestyle influencer, and empire builder, Elena Cardone.   The Queen of her Empire, Elena has designed, constructed and protected a life outside of the ordinary. She has inspired a legion of followers to create their own empires – lives that are truly fulfilling and beyond the average. She counts her current job as her most important one – Chief Family Officer, where she is loving mother, fierce wife and loyal friend. Hosting her podcast series Women in Power, Elena interviews and speaks with other influential women about a variety of topics – social media, business, health, children, education, government, entrepreneurship, travel, beauty, fashion… and yes, sex! Bestselling author of the book Build An Empire and an in-demand speaker, Elena has traveled the globe sharing her insight, wit and experiences building an empire and creating an extraordinary 10X life for herself, husband and family. The architect behind many of Grant Cardone Enterprises’ ventures, Elena is an experienced businesswoman, entrepreneur and investor with her and Grant’s influence felt with Cardone Capital which is closing in on 10,000 units under management with a real estate portfolio valued at $1.5 Billion. In this episode, Elena dives deep into her background and explains how she fell into abusive alcohol and drug use. One day, Elena woke up and realized that she needed to get it together. Elena speaks about her ability to change and why it’s so essential to have a full schedule, especially during the quarantine. Stay tuned as Elena explains the difference between haters and naysayers and why your opinion is the only one that matters. // E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. [00:30] About Elena Cardone Growing up in New Orleans, Elena had an excellent childhood. After a traumatic fire, Elena lost her childhood best friend. The very next day, she was sent back to school. Elena had no time to acknowledge or process her feelings. So, Elena decided to start self-medicating. Elena dove into alcohol and drugs. Fortunately, Elena never became a drug addict or an alcoholic. At seventeen, Elena left New Orleans and flew to Los Angeles to become an actress and a model. Elena lost eight friends before the age of seventeen. One day Elena woke up and realized that she couldn’t use her friend’s death as an excuse to drink and use drugs. [07:00] About the Ability to Change Elena has the ability to experience change. She isn’t fixed to ideas of how things are supposed to be. Every time Elena has a fixed idea, she has gotten herself into trouble. Early on, Elena had an idea that her relationship was supposed to look a certain way. However, she realized that she needed to let go of that idea and think about why she ever thought it. Then, Elena realized she didn’t need to look to her husband for her own happiness. If Elena was 100% happy, she understood that it would make her relationship evolve. Start looking at your beliefs – are they yours or did they come from someone else? Are you willing to solve your own problem? [12:20] The Importance of Health in Building an Empire You have to generate energy when building an empire. Energy is valuable – you can’t rely on someone else to give you energy. You have to produce your own! Elena takes control of her body – if she didn’t, she would sleep all day. Get Elena’s book, Build an Empire. [16:15] Why We Need a Full Schedule Elena has to have a full calendar. When the quarantine started, Elena doubled her workload. A full schedule keeps her so busy that she just keeps going and doesn’t have time to get introverted or depressed. It’s hard to get stressed when someone is working on a full schedule. We only have so much time – stay busy! When we aren’t busy, the game becomes to attack each other. [19:20] The Difference Between Haters and Naysayers     A naysayer is a person who attacks your strengths. For instance, Elena says people tell her she needs a break. However, Elena has all the energy in the world; she doesn’t need a break. Elena says true friends wouldn’t tell her she looks tired; a true friend would come over and make her meal or take her outside for a walk. Naysayers need to be schooled and educated with what you will tolerate and what you won’t tolerate. Haters are the ones that are actively trying to seek your demise and reputation. When you have confidence in yourself, no one else’s opinions really matter to you. [23:20] Elena’s Keto Experience   Elena has tried bulletproof tea. However, she has never tried a keto thing. She simply doesn’t know enough about it. As a model, she was told to never eat fat. As a result, Elena has limiting beliefs that fat is the enemy. [25:50] What Elena Wishes People Asked Her Elena wishes people would ask her what she could change if she could change anything in the world. Elena says her answer is that women should be acknowledged and valued for their role in society. Women should never be diminished or devalued – it’s hurting society. She hates when people say, “I’m just a mom.” They aren’t just a mom; they are dedicating their lives to the advancement of their children.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Dominik Nischwitz. He is a world-renowned specialist in biological dentistry, holistic odontology, and ceramic implants.  He is the current Vice-president of the ISMI (International Society for Metal-Free Implantology), whose mission is to help as many people as possible to experience optimum oral health without the use of metal-based treatments.  As an international speaker, he regularly shares his expertise onstage in order to establish biological dentistry as the new frontier in the industry and covers this very topic in his recent bestselling book, It’s All In Your Mouth, published by Chelsea Green.  With his father, Dr. Nischwitz cofounded DNA Health and Aesthetics Center for Biological Dentistry in Tubingen, Germany in 2015. Dr. Nischwitz has exclusively used ceramic implants since 2013, placing more than 5000 to date. A pioneer in the field of holistic dentistry, Dr. Nischwitz regularly gives lectures around the world.  Aside from biological dentistry and oral health in general, his other passions include functional medicine, holistic nutrition, and competitive sports.  He trains traditional dentists in biological dentistry and believes all health starts in the mouth. In this episode, Dr. Dominik speaks about the dangers of amalgam fillings and why people still use this toxic material to fill cavities in their mouths. Whenever you drink, bite, chew, or brush your teeth, the mercury will leak from those amalgam fillings causing significant health damage. Dr. Dominik explains the importance of removing these amalgam fillings to restore your health. Tune in as we discuss the dangers of cavitations, the mouth-body connection, and the mistakes you could be making regarding dental hygiene.  7 Day Keto Challenge Recordings Available at Discounted Price Here: https://kka.mykajabi.com/keto-challenge-oct-2022 Message me on Instagram www.instagram.com/thebenazadi with the word ENERGY to learn more about coaching from me. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

[06:05] The Dangers of Amalgam Fillings and This Highly Toxic Dental Practice  Amalgam fillings contain 50% mercury. Mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive element known to man. Is it worth putting amalgam fillings in your mouth? No! Amalgam fillings last forever. When you drill it out of your mouth, a special company needs to dispose of it because it is highly toxic waste material. Many countries have banned amalgam fillings for decades.  [12:20] Will Amalgam Fillings Cause Mercury Poisoning?  There is tons of research about amalgam fillings and mercury poisoning.  Mercury leaches out of amalgam fillings when they are in your mouth. The mercury will come out when you bite, drink hot beverages, and brush your teeth.  The mercury vapor will go through all cells in your body.  Your body will get rid of the mercury when the cell dies.  The half-life of mercury in your tissue is about sixteen to thirty-two years.  [26:00] What You Need To Know About FDOJ (Cavitation) You cannot diagnose cavitation on a two-dimensional x-ray.  “Cavitation” is the term for a medical condition known as NICO or FDOJ, which can develop after tooth removals.  FDOJ is fatty degenerative osteonecrosis and osteolysis of the jawbone.  Many people develop problems after tooth removals because they don’t know how to heal properly.  [35:55] Dr. Dominik Helps Patients From All Over The World Dr. Dominik had to develop a remote system to assist patients from all over the world. You need to send a current panoramic x-ray to his office.  Dr. Dominik has examined about 40 specialists worldwide for experts in biologic dentistry and ceramic implants.  He wants the procedures to be as minimally invasive as possible.  Dr. Dominik has placed over 5,000 ceramic implants. Here’s the website: https://www.dr-dome.de [42:15] Mouth-Body Connection: The Meridian Tooth Chart Every tooth has a specific connection via the autonomic nervous system to organs in your body. The wisdom tooth area is connected to the small intestine.  A lot of people have SIBO after getting their wisdom teeth removed.  Removing cavitations can help with health symptoms like SIBO, IBS, and eczema.  [50:15] Brushing Your Teeth Too Hard Is Doing Damage In Your Mouth  You want to gently rub when you brush your teeth. Your teeth health is more about lifestyle and nutrition, not necessarily how well you are brushing your teeth.  Dr. Dominik highly recommends using an electric toothbrush.  He also cleans his teeth with a towel; it doesn’t matter! [54:05] Getting Root Canals and Cavitations Removed From Your Mouth If you start eating a keto diet, you will have an entirely new set of bacteria in three days. However, you will have dysbiosis if you have a mouth full of root canals, metals, and cavitations.  Getting your root canals out and removing cavitations can drastically improve your health and decrease mold in your mouth.   Follow Dr. Dominik on Instagram for more tips: https://www.instagram.com/drdome1/.

Today, I am blessed to have Andreas Wecker. Andreas is an Olympic gold medalist and the founder of Andreas Seed Oils. He is known for his incredible career as a gymnast, competing for Germany in national and world championships, including the Olympics. His greatest achievement was winning the gold medal on the high bar at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, but his Olympic career was cut short due to an injury sustained in 2000. After retiring, Andreas continued performing as an exhibitionist but struggled with severe pain that required a combination of painkillers, aspirin, and coffee for 14 years. In 2004, he stepped away from athletics and stopped taking the pills, which led to a rapid decline in his health in 2006, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of Crohn's disease and a difficult treatment journey. A friend of Andreas recommended fresh-pressed flaxseed oil to supplement his Crohn's disease treatment. He began taking it alongside their prescribed medication and noticed positive changes in his condition. He reduced his pill intake and stopped taking medication for Crohn's disease entirely after three months of supplementing with flaxseed oil. Diet modification and taking the oil changed Andreas’ approach to managing his health problems. The experience inspired his true calling; to create high-quality oils to improve overall health. In this episode, Andreas shares the story of his struggle with chronic illness and how he rediscovered his health. Tune in as he discusses and answers questions about his life journey, available oils in the market, estrogen presence in oils, and many more!  Purchase Andreas Seed Oils Here: https://bit.ly/376Myog Use code KETOKAMP for 15% off Purchase Prest Organic CBD hemp oil here: https://prestorganics.com/ Use code KETOKAMP for 40% off Free Toxicity Quiz: http://www.toxicmiami.com  90 Day Heavy Metals Detox Program (9 Spots Left) http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- Download your FREE Vegetable Oil Allergy Card here: https://onlineoffer.lpages.co/vegetable-oil-allergy-card-download/ / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[08:03] Bucking the System: Andreas’ Journey to Gold  ·    Andreas won his gold medal in the Olympics by not following the system and developing things his way. He listened but did not necessarily follow what he was told to do. ·    Not everything you listen to is truth; finding the truth takes work. ·    Learning comes from trying, making mistakes, changing something, and trying again. ·    He learned many things through self-study and interest, including technology, mechanics, electricity, frequency, light, and structured water.  [16:21] Are Consuming Seed Oils Safe and Healthy? ·    There are a lot of misconceptions around terms like "cold-pressed" and "virgin". ·    The temperature limit for cold-pressed is not officially defined. ·    Some companies use steam to press their oils, which can lead to cooking. ·    Grinding is the main problem with cold-pressing, not necessarily the heat. ·    Heavy metals are a big problem in the oil industry. ·    Metal in the body causes inflammation and can lead to health issues. ·    Removing heavy metals from one’s body can clear brain fog and improve mental clarity.  [24:00] Plastic vs. Glass: The Truth About Estrogen in Oils ·    Plastic is estrogenic, which means it can get into the oil and then into the person who consumes it. ·    Many people buy oils and may unknowingly consume estrogen from the plastic bottles that contain them. ·    It’s highly recommended to buy oils in glass bottles instead of plastic ones.  [33:56] Investing in Quality Seed Oils for a Healthier You ·    The body uses estrogen for a lot of different purposes. ·    Beer is a high source of estrogen. ·    Flaxseed oil can help with weight loss and better sleep since it goes into the brain, which needs the Omega three that it contains. ·    Money is not Andreas’ goal, and he invested in his company to produce seed oils without increasing prices. ·    Black cumin seed oil has shown amazing results in helping with COVID.

Today, I’m fortunate to welcome Kara Collier back to the show for her third appearance. She is the co-founder and VP of Health at Nutrisense, one of America’s fastest-growing wellness-tech startups, where she leads the health team. She is a Forbes 30 under 30 recipient, frequent podcast guest & conference speaker. Kara has made it her mission to help others reach optimal health using modern technology & expert coaching. In addition to being a leading authority on the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology by nondiabetics, she is championing the use of the human connection to heighten the impact of tech innovations in the healthcare industry. In this episode, Kara explains that many people mistakenly believe that glucose is only relevant for those with diabetes, but in reality, it's a key indicator of overall metabolic health. Metabolic health, which drives essential bodily functions like cell growth and energy regulation, relies on glucose as a fuel source. Monitoring glucose levels provides valuable insights into how efficiently the body's metabolic system functions. Kara highlights the significant impact of stress on glucose levels, noting that not only food but also mental and emotional states can trigger spikes. Stressful situations can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which in turn increase glucose. She emphasizes the importance of being mindful of one's state of mind, particularly before eating, as stress can hinder digestion and exacerbate glucose responses. Incorporating relaxation techniques can help mitigate these effects.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Rachel Brown & Ally Houston. Rachel is a consultant psychiatrist and functional & metabolic practitioner, while Ally is a Metabolic mental health coach trained by PreKure and Dr Georgia Ede. Rachel and Ally both work as a coach in MetPsy, empowering people with mental illness to use proven diet and lifestyle techniques to heal themselves. They offer Coaching programs for your mental health, no matter where you are in the world.  Dr Rachel started her Atkins diet when a family friend introduced it. Over the year, Dr Rachel suffered from sugar addiction. This made her stray from a low-carb diet and instead go to more intuitive eating programs. Not just did it not help her with her addiction, but it left the worst experience for her to remember. Eventually, Dr Rachel managed to go back to a low-carb diet, keto, and more animal-based nutrition. Keto helps her restore her relationship with the foods.  Ally suffered from food addiction. Even though his mom cooks delicious and nutritious foods, he still eats cereals, causing the root of his food addiction. For some reason, his weight did not become a problem until he was in his late 20s when he realized his poor metabolic health. Because of his addiction, Ally had several autoimmune diseases. He goes through the conventional way of healing, which only worsens his disease. Ultimately, all of his autoimmune diseases were gone when he changed to a keto diet.  In this episode, Dr Rachel and Ally shared how mental health problems and gut microbiome are related. They also discuss the three primary reasons for you having a leaky gut. Furthermore, they discuss why you should not just believe in evidence-based medicine. And lastly, Ally and Dr Rachel discuss why it is best to do your research. Tune in as we chat about mental stress, gut microbiome health, evidence-based medicine, and research.

[18:49] How Are Mental Health Problems and the Gut Microbiome Connected? -       Gastrointestinal microorganisms are involved because they generate neurotransmitters and produce other metabolites that communicate, such as short-chain fatty acids. -       Interaction between a wheat, protein and Zonulin component opens up tight junctions, causing leaky gut in everyone, not just celiac disease patients. -       LPS can activate immunological resident immune cells in the brain known as microglia. And then, you start a self-perpetuating loop in which immune cells in the brain generate more inflammatory cytokines and free radicals, resulting in oxidative stress and inflammation. -       Whatever happens in the gut occurs in the brain and vice versa. [23:51] 3 Lifestyle Behaviors That Cause Leaky Gut! -       Diet is the top cause of a leaky gut. -       We must be cautious of what we put into our body since it will come into contact with our gut lining and have various effects. -       Stress is the second reason you have a leaky gut because it increases intestinal permeability. -       Alcohol is the third leading cause. [26:04] How Mental Stress Creates Havoc Inside Your Gut Microbiome -       There is brain-to-gut signaling when taking in different sensory perceptions, such as watching or listening to negative news from various sources all the time. -       It's possible that stress is triggering our leaky gut. It's also possible that when stressed, we're compelled to eat in ways that aren't good for our gut. -       The tight junction system is also found in breastfeeding women, which is why casein is potentially such a massive concern for persons with autoimmune, gut difficulties, or with mental health issues. -       Information about the microbiome is still lacking. -       Managing gluten, stress, and dairy can help you have a healthy microbiome. [37:11] Do You Only Believe in Evidence-Based Medicine? Here’s What You Need to Know  -       If we take the research literature as a whole, there's publication bias that comes with it. -       The vast majority of information on diet evidence is based on associational data that does not establish one thing or the other and is flawed due to confounding factors within the populations studied. -       Imagine discovering that the truth of a subject contradicts what your academic parent, someone you care about, disagrees with. This is the most serious conflict of interest in science. -       The notion that there is one science, one evidence-based medicine, is equally absurd because practically any subject can be found where someone from Oxford and someone from Harvard are opposed. [44:28] Research and Lab Work: How to Find an Approach That Works For You -       It is highly recommended to do your research, not just blindly believe anything somebody might be saying. -        Dr Rachel also does her research on triglyceride to HDL ratio. -       Ally does a Mcdonald’s experiment wherein he only eats a huge amount of food at Mcdonald's for a month.

Platt’s mom died of breast cancer. The fact that she died of breast cancer means she had a problem with progesterone, which is the hormone that protects women from breast cancer. She had a lot of fat around her waist, nowhere else. The only thing that puts on fat around the middle is insulin. So, Dr. Platt thought that maybe there was a connection between progesterone and insulin. When Dr. Platt started using progesterone cream, he never got sleepy again while driving. Eventually, Dr. Platt opened a wellness clinic to help people with their hormones. “Adrenaline is probably the number one cause of weight gain.” -Dr. Platt [03:25] What Exactly Adrenaline Is and How It Works In The Body Adrenaline is both a hormone as well as a neurotransmitter. Fibromyalgia is caused by excess adrenaline. When people have fibromyalgia, one of the main things they complain about is fatigue. When someone has a lot of adrenaline, they keep their muscles tense. When you keep muscle tense, you use up a tremendous amount of energy. Part of the fatigue when it comes to your adrenaline is due to just keeping muscle tense. Another reason people get a lot of fatigue with adrenaline is that it prevents them from sleeping. People with too much adrenaline are also low in the thyroid, which can contribute to fatigue. [08:35] What’s The Correlation Between People With ADHD and People With High Levels of Adrenaline? What's nice about adrenaline is that it is a neurotransmitter; it gives people intelligence. As a neurotransmitter, it enhances what's called creativity. The most intelligent, successful creative people in the world have a lot of adrenaline. There are literally millions and millions of people that have been diagnosed with ADHD. ADHD is all about adrenaline. The most intelligent, successful creative people in the world have ADHD; it's not bad. Also, ADHD is not a learning disorder; it’s an interest disorder. If people are interested and they have ADHD, they'll focus. If they're not interested, they will not focus. [15:00] Will A Keto Lifestyle Help Reduce Adrenaline In The Body? The brain requires two different fuels to function: glucose and ketones. By providing ketones to the brain and glucose, you can get a significant drop in the release of adrenaline within 24 hours. Road rage is caused by adrenaline. You can get rid of road rage in just 24 hours. Ketones will balance out adrenaline. When it comes to adrenaline, Dr. Platt recommends that people eat something before going to sleep. [19:20] Dr. Platt Reveals Some Major Signs That You Have Too Much Adrenaline Adrenaline peaks during the night. People with high adrenaline are quick to anger because adrenaline is an anger hormone. Also, they will have cold hands and cold feet. Adrenaline is a survival hormone. As a survival hormone, it cuts off blood supply to certain areas of the body that are not needed for survival. Also, adrenaline cuts off blood supply to the intestines. People with a lot of adrenaline will almost always have tension to the back of the neck. [28:35] There Are A Few Strategies You Can Use To Lower Adrenaline Levels The best way of tapering down adrenaline is eating correctly. Ketones are a great way to lower adrenaline. Also, glucose from vegetables will be useful as well. Progesterone will block adrenaline. However, if somebody already has insulin resistance and takes progesterone, it will increase the insulin resistance in the brain. [32:00] Not Many Doctors Are Talking About Adrenaline - Dr. Platt Gives His Thoughts Big Pharma controls medicine. They control what doctors learn in medical school and the medical boards that control the FDA. You have an entity that controls medicine that has no interest in people being healthy. Big Pharma doesn’t want doctors to know how to get people well. Doctors get no training in hormones. [34:00] Progesterone Cream Can Help With Adrenaline, Here’s How To Use It The back of the neck is a great place to put progesterone cream. There’s a type of headache called occipital neuritis. This causes excruciating headaches, and it is always mistaken for migraines. This type of headache is only caused by excess adrenaline cranial pressure. Sadly, there's so much that doctors don’t realize. You can get rid of ADHD with progesterone cream. Learn more about Dr. Platt’s progesterone creams here: https://plattwellness.com/ [38:00] Endogenous Depression Can Go Away When You Lower Adrenaline Levels There's a type of depression called endogenous depression. This is depression comes from within. People will get depressed, but they don't know why they're depressed. The most common cause of endogenous depression is the internalization of anger. Adrenaline is the anger hormone. Lowering anger levels will make the depression go away. [41:45] It’s Time To Take Your Health Into Your Own Hands People have to become proactive if they really want to be healthy. You can’t depend on the medical system that has no interest in people being healthy. Take control of your own body! It’s time to get well and stop relying on traditional medicine to solve your problems.   [44:55] Dr. Platt Has Recommendations For Boosting Your Immune System The whole approach to COVID has to be the immune system. One of the most effective ways of dealing with COVID is a high dose of vitamin D. We can't convert sunlight to vitamin D anymore. Platt recommends vitamin D in powder form. Also, 10,000 units of vitamin D prevents sunburn. Overall, the government should be talking about metabolic health, not pushing a vaccine.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Dr. Platt’s Website: com  https://plattwellness.com/discount/KETO10  use keto10 at checkout Follow Dr. Platt Instagram: com/plattwellness/ Facebook: com/plattwellness/ Twitter: com/PlattWellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/meplatt1/featured Get Adrenaline Dominance: A Revolutionary Approach to Wellness: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0977668312/benazadi-2o Read The Miracle of Bi-identical Hormones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019KQ0JS2/benazadi-20 Email: Questions@PlattWellness.com Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

In this podcast, Fasting, Keto, Protein and Keeping it Simple, we cover: Controlling Your Appetite and Cravings During Fasting The Connection of Protein, Muscle, and Weight Loss Can Keto Be Simple? Ditching the Complicated Diets Practicing Self-Love and Discovering Your Superpower Controlling Your Appetite and Cravings During Fasting Raise your hand if you’ve craved something sweet while fasting…we’ve all been there. In this episode, Ben and I discussed a few reasons behind these cravings and how to overcome them. Ben suggests that the cravings could be due to not being fat-adapted yet. Our brains may panic when glucose drops in a fasted state because the ketones are not present. It sends signals to our body to get some carbs that fulfill that desire. I recommend using fasting to pulse into a ketogenic state and then pulse out. What this means is that each time you go into your ketogenic state, it’s healing something. If you get into that space, and suddenly your cravings go up, hang in there as long as you can and then dip back into food. And each time you go back, it gets easier and easier, just like going to the gym. It’s important to note that every fast has its benefits, so if you did reach for that snack, there’s no such thing as a failed fast. When you put yourself in a healing state, you can’t fail. Understanding the type of craving you’re having, whether it’s a sugar craving, an adrenal issue, or a thyroid issue – you can support your body by adding more good fat and protein, eating more calories, or doing more 24-hour fasts.  Protein, Muscle, and Weight Loss If you’re looking to build muscle and lose weight, you might want to pay attention to how much protein you’re consuming. It’s recommended to consume between one to one and a half grams of protein per pound of body weight. But if you fall short of meeting this requirement, using essential amino acids can be beneficial in filling these gaps. As we age, particularly during menopause, our bodies start to break down muscle to get amino acids if the adrenal glands are overworked. To combat this, protein cycling may be the answer – this involves consuming 30 grams of protein several times a day, combined with a lot of amino acids, to maintain muscle mass. Consuming more than 90 grams of protein risks turning it into glucose, which could impede weight loss. It’s important to note that this applies to one meal, so consuming over 90 grams in a single setting is challenging for most people.  Can Keto Be Simple? Ditching the Complicated Diets  If you’re tired of trying all the complicated diets and grabbing every new supplement that comes along, here’s a solution: simplicity. In this episode, Ben and I discussed that often the natural healthcare system and biohacking world can be sometimes overcomplicated to the point where it’s as confusing as the conventional healthcare system. For instance, if you want to get into ketosis, the best way is to start fasting. You don’t have to count macros or purchase pre-packaged keto food. You can start simply by compressing your eating window and leaving long times for fasting to see if you can get into ketosis. Instead of counting macros, you can switch to nature’s carbs. To simplify your approach, start with small changes that you can easily incorporate into your routine, like a daily walk or simple breathing exercises. It’s important to not get bogged down in the details and to remember the ultimate goal of improving your health.  Practicing Self-Love and Discovering Your Superpower This year, I’ve promised myself to practice more self-love when I can and encourage you to find the time to give back and nurture yourself too. Ben shared in this episode that the daily self-love practices that help him feel grateful for his health and well-being are keeping a gratitude journal on his nightstand to taking breaks throughout the day to relax and read. To implement these ideas into your own life, you can start by incorporating simple self-love practices into your daily routine. This can include writing down a list of things you’re grateful for each day, taking breaks to relax and do something you enjoy, or simply reminding yourself of the things you love about yourself. Gratitude has a profound way of helping shift your mindset and improve your overall well-being. This can involve writing down things you’re grateful for, expressing gratitude to those around you, or simply taking a moment to appreciate the good things in your life. We all need more “Vitamin G” in our days!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Ryan Brown. Having battled years of eating disorders and the chronic consequences of such behavior, Ryan has decided to embark on another healing journey, bringing you the no-BS truth about healing using a ketogenic lifestyle! Where being fat adapted is king and allows you to pursue your individual health goals! In this episode, Ryan opens up about his eating disorder; he went from 88 pounds to 130. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of his health problems. Ryan speaks about his small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN) diagnosis. Plus, he talks about detoxing from heavy metals and mold toxicity. Later, Ryan dives into all things ketosis and busts some common misconnections people have around a keto lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about the importance of animal-based protein, cholesterol, and the most significant pharmaceutical scam in the medical industry.  Register for my upcoming 90 day detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

He was 88 pounds and dealt with severe anorexia.  Plus, Ryan was suffering from hardcore mental health problems. Eventually, Ryan got his weight up to 130. However, that wasn’t the end of his health problems.  Despite gaining weight, Ryan’s energy never returned, and he never addressed his emotional trauma from childhood.   Later, Ryan was diagnosed with small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN).  [11:40] Mercury in Tuna: Measuring Heavy Metals in Human Hair  One of Ryan Brown’s heroes is Dr. Terry Wahls. Learn more about Dr. Wahls here: https://terrywahls.com When Ryan did a deep dive on functional medicine, he looked at his mercury levels. At one point, Ryan had been eating tuna daily for four years.  When Ryan tested his hair follicle levels for mercury, his levels came back extremely high.  Blood tests will look at acute mercury, but they won’t give you chronic levels of mercury.  The bigger the fish, the more toxins they are going to have.  [18:20] Mold Toxicity: Getting Your Energy Levels Back With a Heavy Metal Detox Another deep dive Ryan did on his health was regarding mold toxicity.  In LA, Ryan found black mold in his home; he lived in it for over a year. After moving out of that environment, Ryan’s energy levels finally increased. Detoxing from heavy metals and staying in ketosis have been total game-changers for Ryan’s health.  [21:15] Free Tools to Improve and Support Your Mental Health  Ryan will start his day by journaling. He writes about good things that are going on in his life.  Once you believe in something, great things are going to happen.  Plus, Ryan will spend as much time outside as possible.  He loves to ground himself and practice breathing. Breathwork is one of the most potent mindset tools that we have.  [27:40] Why Ryan Is Such a Big Fan of Getting Into Ketosis  Ketosis is one of the most potent therapeutic tools anyone can use as a human being. Ketosis will help reset your body and give you humanity back. Infants are in ketosis, and women during pregnancy are in ketosis too.  So many people in the United States are metabolically inflexible. Every single one of these people can benefit from ketosis.  [30:10] Ryan Debunks Common Misconceptions About Keto  Too many health coaches and influencers are making ketosis complicated. Ketosis is not complex; it’s simple.  One of the biggest mistakes people make is eating things that are labeled “keto.”  Nothing in the world labeled “keto” beats eating real and whole foods.  You need to focus on real food instead of packaged and processed goods. Another thing people are getting wrong is worrying about eating too much protein. It’s actually pretty challenging to get into gluconeogenesis.  [35:40] Animal-Based Proteins Are Amazing for the Human Body  Pretty much everything you hear mainstream, almost the opposite is true.  Animals have the full array of amino acids that the human body needs. While on the other hand, plants do not have the full array of amino acids we need. Ryan is a massive fan of eating fatty red meat.  You need cholesterol to synthesize vitamin D. Also, don’t be afraid to eat eggs; eggs are great for your hormones.  [39:30] Cholesterol Is Critical for the Body and Your Overall Health More people die from heart disease with normal to low cholesterol than with high cholesterol.  Cholesterol is essential; your membrane is made up of partly cholesterol. Ryan says that statins are the most significant pharmaceutical scam in the medical industry.  Learn more about cholesterol from Dave Feldman: https://www.dietdoctor.com/authors/dave-feldman AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Ryan Brown: http://ryanmitchelbrown.com Ryan’s Email: Ketosisryan@gmail.com Follow Ryan Brown Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanmitchelbrown/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ketoryan YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ryanmitchelbrown Dr. Terry Wahls: https://terrywahls.com Dave Feldman: https://www.dietdoctor.com/authors/dave-feldman Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Register for my upcoming 90 day detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

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

She did not feel free to be herself or think the way she wanted to think and express that fully. At the moment, Dr. Jensen was crying and crying. Earlier in the day, Dr. Jensen’s mother had read her journal. Sadly, Dr. Jensen started to recognize that nothing was hers. Her mind, her body, and her thoughts were not hers. Jensen found a safety pin and carved “I hate life” into her arm. All of a sudden, something shifted; Dr. Jensen realized that she didn’t need to be a victim. [05:05] The Inspiration Behind Woman Unleashed: Release Your Story, Revive Your Hormones & Reclaim Your Freedom Through Dr. Jensen’s own healing with her traumas that she’s been through and navigating healing for women, Dr. Jensen realized that this conversation isn't happening enough. We do not understand that our history, our thoughts about ourselves, our belief systems, and the things that we have been told since being in the womb will influence our health today. The more we speak about trauma, the easier it becomes for women and men to understand that healing is possible, that the potential is there, and hope is there. We're a culture of wanting always to move away from our pain and needing ways to distract ourselves and discount ourselves. “The more we dive into ourselves and discover ourselves, we understand that there's just this vast potential of connection there and healing.” -Dr. Jensen [07:00] How We Are Sentient Before Conception And In The Womb Jensen recommends reading The Secret Life of Babies: How Our Prebirth and Birth Experiences Shape Our World: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Life-Babies-Prebirth-Experiences/dp/1583948031/benazadi-20 When we're in the womb, we're listening and understanding. Around 18 to 19 weeks, the auditory system is there and is trying to figure out what the world will be like when we're outside of the womb. Plus, we're getting information from all the hormones that our mother is secreting. Our brains are all developed for survival. If we don't fit into the tribe that we're moving into, it will be really hard to survive. The brain and the body are so smart that they're going to mold themselves to fit in. [08:50] Understanding And Treating Traumatic Stress & The Scope Of Its Impact On Society Another recommendation from Dr. Jensen is The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/B08TX585RN/benazadi-20 If you’re suffering from a trauma in the body, ask yourself: when did you feel that you weren't safe? Our womb and our uterus is a space that's supposed to be for creativity, for abundance. However, with past trauma, our bodies can suffer. Your reactions today are really from a subconscious imprint from before. [12:30] The Reasons We Create Stories & How To Create Stories That Will Better Serve You There are different reasons why we create stories. We create a story in the womb to help us survive the environment we're going in. Stories are beautiful; they hold tradition and culture. Plus, stories can be amazing learning opportunities. Also, stories are influencing how we navigate our world, what we believe about ourselves, and the lens that we put on when we perceive the world around us. When we're trapped in the story that we've created to survive, we're not really connected to our own center and our own soul’s story. [16:25] The Tools That Dr. Jensen Loves To Use & How You Can Apply These Tools Today Yoga and meditation for Dr. Jensen was a lifesaver. Yoga doesn't have to be buying a yoga mat and doing a yoga class. Instead, yoga could be connecting with nature, it could be cooking a meal, and feeling completely connected with yourself. Physical yoga creates these movements in our body that we don't normally do. Plus, it creates this awakening and certain nerve endings and connections between organs and our breath. It starts to repattern our brain to think differently. Often, we're stuck in our mind, and we're operating from our mind. However, yoga can bring you back to your heart. [21:45] The Most Common Symptom That Women Deal With On A Daily Basis The most common symptom that Dr. Jensen treats is anxiety. There's usually an event that's created that anxiety, there is perception, there's a belief, and then that turns into deficiencies in our hormones. When a woman has anxiety, her gut system is also not working as well. Women need to understand where the anxiety is coming from and that it's not who she is. When we're thriving off of that stress, the anxieties show up, the gut issues show up, the inability to be very intimate shows up. [27:20] The Most Significant Lesson That Dr. Jensen Learned From Writing Her First Book The healing never stops. There is always another layer to your healing journey. Also, there is never one answer for all of us. Lastly, healing is a journey, and we don't have to get there right away. [29:35] How To Navigate Keto So You Can Have A Healthier Monthly Cycle Variation is key if you have a heavy menstrual cycle. For the first two weeks of your cycle, you can go heavy with keto. The last two weeks, you want to up your healthy carbs. You can also use seeds. Eat pumpkin and flax seeds the first two weeks of your cycle. Green tea can also be helpful for heavy periods.

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

She ate low-fat, whole grains, and no eggs.  Her weight was healthy. Yet, her cholesterol was over 300.  The doctor prescribed Amanda statins at the age of 32. Instead, Amanda wanted to try and fix the problem on her own.  So Amanda read the book The Great Cholesterol Myth: Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease-and the Statin-Free Plan That Will. You can find a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Cholesterol-Myth-Disease-Statin-Free/dp/1592335217/benazadi-20 She realized that reducing inflammation would improve her numbers. After six months, she got her numbers under 200.  [07:35] The Number One Reason Why Dieters Fail The number one reason why people fail is the all-or-nothing mindset. We feel like we have to be perfect to make progress.  How to break your all-or-nothing mindset: Practice progress over perfection. Learn the power of resetting immediately. Always do something.  When someone can’t do it all, then they choose to do nothing. Instead of trying to do it all, pick one thing to focus on for the week to come.  [14:00] Intermittent Fasting and Why Amanda Loves It For Weight Loss  Breakfast is not actually the most important meal of the day. It took Amanda ten years of being a dietitian to realize that.  There are actual physiological processes in the body that help us thrive in a fasted state.  It’s effortless to be an intuitive eater. Time-restricted eating is not a diet. It’s not about what you eat. Instead, it’s all about when you eat.  Amanda loves intermittent fasting because it’s flexible. You don’t have to fast every single day.  Lastly, fasting is free, and it doesn’t cost you any money!  [18:00] Fasting Before Bed: Tips To Stop Your Late Night Eating Habits  Drink herbal tea in the evening. Non-caloric beverages are also okay to drink before bed. You can also adjust your eating window.  If you prefer to eat more in the evening, then eat less in the morning.  Start with a 12 hour fast, then ease your way into a 16 hour fast.  [20:20] We Eat Way Too Much! Eat Until You’re Full and Lose Weight For some reason, people want to graze all day long. The reason you are eating all day long is that you’re not eating to fullness.  You can eat 700 calories during one meal and still lose weight.  People are scared of calories, fats, and carbs. At mealtimes, we are significantly undereating, which leads to more snacking.  Sadly, people are eating every hour and a half.  Finding six healthy things to eat throughout the day is impossible. Usually, the first three things you eat are healthy; then, the last three are not. Instead, we need to eat solid meals and stop snacking.  [24:30] Metabolic Inflexibility Is A Key Risk Factor For Covid-19 During Covid, the conversation should be focused on metabolic health. If we had true metabolic health, Covid wouldn’t be such an issue. 88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible and unhealthy.  We should get outside and get vitamin D. Also, Americans need quality protein, healthy fats, and to go outside and walk.  Everyone's health has deteriorated significantly. We are now way more prone to any type of disease and virus. [28:00] Why You're Not Losing Weight From Your Registered Dietician  You’re not losing weight because you are sitting all day long.  Sitting is the new smoking!  Taking a walk after a meal will result in lower blood sugar. That’s the power of activity. When we eat and lay around, our blood sugar response will be much greater.  Another reason you aren’t losing weight is that you are focusing on calories instead of macros.  Losing weight is all about blood sugar regulation. Carbs digest rapidly, so they leave you wanting more.  [40:20] Should You Avoid Carbohydrates For The Rest of Your Life?  The only right way to keto is to cycle. It’s not healthy to be in ketosis forever. If you’re fat-adapted, you will be able to curb your cravings. Plus, you’ll be able to eat carbs and still feel fine.  People need to have an understanding of what a good carb level is for them. [44:20] Do You Need Electrolyte Supplementation On A Keto Diet? Electrolytes are your missing link. There’s a huge power of sodium, potassium, and magnesium.  Without adequate hydration, you can't metabolize fat. Thirst and hunger are similar signals.  If you don’t have enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium, you will feel weak and hangry.    AND MUCH MORE!

It is also important to support people in whatever they want to do, know the risks, and know how to support themselves.   ·       Body modification doesn't revolve around plastic surgery. Still, it includes the neck, click the rings in Africa, and the island where people believed the behind the knee was a second vagina. These examples show that people love to do this type of stuff and should be safe and supported. ·       Culture and tradition greatly influence body modification, like the Chinese foot binding was a way to signal status. ·       Our society is becoming less healthy due to high exposure to chemicals and increased levels of histamine, which affects the type of scar tissue capsule around a breast implant. [15:00] Does Histamine destroy collagen production? Here's what you need to know ·       Histamine is an important neurotransmitter but can also lead to mania and neurological function. Mast cells in different body parts work on a priming system, like dopamine with gambling.  ·       Histamine can also drive a high level of thinking, especially in women with histamine estrogen. However, over time, it can be destructive. ·       Hypersecreting histamine when mast cells are primed can lead to hypermobility, and this is why people with genetic hypermobility like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome automatically skew into muscle activation syndrome.  ·       Infection can do it as there are a lot of bugs that break down collagen and secrete histamine. This cycle is a fast-flick explanation of hypermobility. [24:30] Breast Implant: Is it safe or not?   ·       If a person is healthy before getting breast implants, they will likely make good scar tissue capsules and not be negatively affected by the known toxins in the implants.  ·       Those who switch implants without doing an onboard capsule ectopy can get into trouble if their collagen and system are overworking and dysregulated. This can lead to capsular contracture, which is a bad aesthetic outcome. ·       Scar tissue is a big issue even externally on the body, and even just a scar randomly on the body can throw off the energy system. This can lead to big scar chunks inside the chest. [36:55] How to Enhance Your Detoxification Pathways   ·       Mineral replenishment, synthetic bile, liver flushes, liposuction, scar therapy manual therapies, and TRT machines are important. Mineral replenishment is important because it helps to replenish mitochondria in the stomach. ·       Synthetic bile and liver flushes are also important before detoxing metals, silicone, and liposuction.  ·       Scar therapy manual therapies are necessary to unburden yourself of scarring in the areas where you had liposuction and to keep lymph moving with the understanding that you may not ever be able to get all the scar tissue out of that area.

Today, I am blessed to engage in a thought-provoking conversation with James Berry, founder of Pluck and a former celebrity chef. We dive into the importance of ancestral nutrition and the benefits of a carnivore diet. James shares his insights on the evolutionary history of human diets, emphasizing the nutritional value of organ meats. We discuss the challenges posed by modern processed foods and the need for sustainable health practices. James also offers practical tips for incorporating organ meats into daily meals, making it easier for listeners to embrace nutrient-dense foods. James provides a fascinating overview of the evolutionary history of human diets. Our ancestors transitioned from foraging to scavenging and eventually to becoming predators. This shift allowed them to access nutrient-dense foods, including fat, blood, and organs, which were crucial for brain development and overall survival. Nutrient-Dense Foods: Focus on foods that are rich in essential nutrients, such as organ meats. Evolutionary Perspective: Understanding our dietary evolution can guide us in making healthier food choices today. Question Nutritional Advice: Be critical of mainstream nutritional advice and focus on whole, unprocessed foods. Avoid Processed Foods: Minimize the consumption of processed foods that are often devoid of essential nutrients. Nutrient Density: Prioritize foods that are rich in essential nutrients. Bioavailability: Choose foods that your body can easily absorb and utilize. Simplicity: A carnivore diet can simplify meal planning and reduce decision fatigue. Mindful Eating: Pay attention to your body's signals and the flavors of your food. Avoid Ultra-Processed Foods: These foods can disrupt your body's natural ability to metabolize nutrients.

In this episode, Brian opens the show by explaining the inspiration behind his diet and lifestyle changes. Then, he dives into his documentary Food Lies and the new science changing everything we need to know about nutrition. Later, Brian explains why cows aren’t causing a climate crisis and how the facts don’t show that red meat causes cancer. Tune in as we talk about the importance of protein, why processed foods companies are behind the vegan agenda, and regenerative agriculture.  Get your tickets to KetoCon: www.ketocon.org use the coupon code ketokamp for a discount.

The whole goal is to get Food Lies on Netflix.  Food Lies is all about the sordid history of our dietary guidelines, what we should be eating, and how to do it sustainably.  [15:20] Are Cows Really Causing The Climate Crisis?  There's always been methane coming from ruminant animals. Methane from animals is part of the natural system.  There’s a huge diversion going on. 95% of emission problems are from other industries.  The fossil fuel industry extracts carbon from deep into the ground.  Big industry is controlling the narrative around methane and cows.  [23:30] All Animals Require Protein: What Happens When You’re Not Getting Enough Building Blocks  All animals acquire food to get a certain amount of protein. If animals don’t have enough protein in their food, they have to eat more food to get enough protein. The protein of the population has dropped dramatically. When you drop protein, you have to eat more calories as a result.  Protein isn’t the answer for everything; you also have to consider nutrient density. [31:30] How Much Protein Should You Be Eating Every Single Day?  Eat a gram per pound of body weight or lean body mass. There isn’t a downside to eating this much protein.  If you have a severe kidney problem, there’s a chance you’ll have issues with too much protein.  You’ll have a problem if you’re eating high protein and highly processed foods.  If your ideal weight is 130 pounds, consume 130 grams of protein.  [37:10] Does Eating Red Meat Cause Cancer? No, The Problem Is Processed Foods  Why is there a worldwide agenda against meat? Epidemiology can't show causation; it can only show correlation.  A famous study says that red meat causes cancer. However, it has a lot more to do with eating processed foods with processed meats. If you’re eating a hot dog, you’re eating a bun. If you’re eating a steak, you’re probably not eating a bun.  [40:45] Processed Food Companies Are Behind The Vegan Agenda  A massive conglomeration of worldwide processed food companies is pushing the vegan agenda.  The countries that eat little meat have 30-40% child malnutrition and stunted growth.  There’s barely any profit margin in milk, eggs, fish, and fresh foods. That’s why the vegan agenda is so popular because big companies can make huge profit margins on their products.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Sapien: https://www.sapien.org Food Lies: https://www.foodlies.org Nose to Tail: https://nosetotail.org/ KetoCon: https://www.ketocon.org/ketocon-2022/ (use code “KETOKAMP”) Follow Brian Sanders Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodliesorg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/food.lies/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/foodlies Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Joan Ifland. With the publication of her textbook, Processed Food Addiction, Dr. Ifland is considered to be the world's leading expert in processed food addiction. Backed by new technology developed in the textbook, Dr. Ifland has developed cutting-edge innovations in online programs addressing compulsive overeating and diet-related diseases.  With the introduction of RESET WEEK and the Daily Addiction Reset Community (Daily ARC), Dr. Ifland has brought recovery from compulsive overeating to a new level of effectiveness. Her programs are easy to access. They save time and money for members while engaging participation for the long run. Members who have not had control over food since early childhood are now able to eat planned, healthy meals.  In this episode, Dr. Ifland talks about the inspiration behind her career in processed food addiction. If you're starting to ditch processed foods, it can be hard to go out with friends or be at home with your family for the holidays. It would help if you started associating processed foods with how they make you feel. Dr. Ifland dives into how the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry are making people's health much worse. Tune in as we chat about breaking a food addiction and the problem with most dietitians.

After that, she became a yo-yo dieter. She would try only to eat 1200 calories a day. However, this was making her processed food addiction worse. There are court documents that reveal companies took the tobacco addiction model and transferred it to sugar for children. It's not normal to think about food when you're not hungry. Americans think about food obsessively. After ditching processed foods, Dr. Ifland got rid of her brain fog, bloating, and a sinus infection. Plus, she was losing two pounds a week. Over 70% of the country in the US is now overweight or obese. Americans are deeply addicted to processed foods, and they don’t even know about it.  [12:25] You Need To Associate Processed Foods With The Pain You Feel Just because everyone is eating something, that doesn’t mean you should eat it too. You need to associate certain foods with the pain you feel from them. For instance, “I don’t eat that because it gives me a headache.” You want to retrain brain cells to associate foods with the pain you feel.   [16:55] You Can Addict Any Human To Any Substance If You Get Them Young Enough Smoking used to be the leading cause of preventable death globally. Now, diet-related diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Smoking and diets are based on the same business model. The business model goes like this: Advertising Availability Affordability Young age of onset Hidden addictive product formulation The younger someone is when you addict them, the harder it will be for them to overcome the addiction. [32:20] Overeating Is An Addiction Done To You By The Food Industry It takes years to go to a social situation and not be bothered by people eating processed foods. The conformance tribe is significantly activated by food and by people you know well. The better you know a person, the more likely they will be able to trigger you into eating something bad. Overeating and diet-related diseases were done to you for profit by the food industry. [36:45] Free Donuts For Anyone Who Gets A Vaccine!   There is corruption in the pharmaceutical industry. 60% of Covid deaths are in people who have an underlying diet-related condition. People wouldn't have been able to eat enough processed foods to get a condition unless their addiction was driving them. The message to the world should have been about metabolic health. The addiction business model is also used by the pharmaceutical industry. [42:10] True or False: Sugar Addiction Is Not A Real Thing Dietitians are the “professional” arm of the processed food industry. The medical community is the marketing arm of the pharmaceutical industry. 40% of dietitians work for the processed food industry. If you’ve been to a conference for dietitians, they are sponsored by Kraft and Nabisco. Luckily, many dieticians are rebelling against processed foods. Check out Processed Food Addiction: http://processedfoodaddiction.com/ Read the Book Processed Food Addiction: https://www.amazon.com/Processed-Food-Addiction-Foundations-Assessment/dp/0367503425/benazadi-20 [45:00] The First Steps To Breaking Food Addiction It’s a very difficult process of acceptance, breaking through all the insanity you see out there and accepting that it's a severe addiction. Processed food addictions are deliberately made worse by the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry. You need to go and ask for help to recover from your addiction. Also, you need to be really patient on your journey. Lastly, you need to incorporate healthy living into your life. [51:40] When Can You Start Eating Sugar Again?  People think that they will always want sugar. If you give up processed foods, then you will stop the cravings. Only 1% of the food in a grocery store is actually food. The rest of it is all drugs. Overall, Dr. Ifland says to have hope.

We have Rachel Varga with us, and we will talk about skin health. She will tell us what inspired her to make a career in the health space. She grew up in a humble home and learned a lot from her parents' experiences; she learned to use her hands from her carpenter father and long hours of work from her nurse mother. She graduated from nursing school, worked at a high-security prison palliative care, and realized she wanted to be a skin doctor after a lot of in-depth thought. She became an expert in her field, taught other doctors, and now she has gotten into research. She aims to inspire others to be more beautiful and radiant through body, mind, and spirit energy and detoxification. 4 Secrets to Mastering Keto Masterclass.

Without gut testing, you will miss the mark. This is biohacking, and this is what changed Rachel's life. From a gut perspective, she also includes detoxing and cleaning protocols every full moon to keep things like yeast, fungi, toxins, and parasites out of the system. This transformed her life physically, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. Through this fast of food, sleep, sex, and alcohol, she felt changed. This event positively affected her skin and cleared it. It even removed PMS systems from her cycle. [13:25] Skin health Skin health is an excellent way to know about somebody's overall health Some cues give away about one's gut through skin issues that they have The first is the eyes: puffy eyes could indicate inflammation. The inner eyelid area can also mean that something is going on inside. When you start consuming a lot of sugar, alcohol, and dairy, if it's not something you are used to, you will notice the effects on your skin after a couple of days. Puffiness, redness to the nose, acne, effects on nails, etc., are some of the things that may pop up. Brain fog is another significant consequence of bad health.   [19:22] Supplements A product with omegas and other essential nutrients from a particular company This company has been working for the past fifteen years This product will give you a golden type of glow, and it helps with pigmentation Rachel did a study for six to eight weeks with her cohort, and the results were the same: reduction in puffiness, reduction in redness, reduction in darkness, pigmentation fading, and so on. Photography and research are so important to know for sure. [22:27] What is the reason behind dark circles? The number one reason why guys complain is the eyes. The skin around the eyes, especially the lower eyelid area, is as thin as an eggshell. You could be lacking collagen, hydration, healthy fats, etc. Skin care comes, and sun protection can help. Other solutions include Vitamin C, Vitamin A, dermal rolling, and getting lasers done. [28:40] Foods that are bad for your skin and why? Dairy is related to gut disturbance and causes inflammation, damaging the skin. Gluten is also inflammatory for most people and causes the same problem. Alcohol taxes your liver and indirectly affects your gut. Raw kale and spinach are on the list as well. Vegetables and corn oils also make it to the list and shouldn't be consumed or put on the skin. [39:21] What are some ways to tighten the skin after weight loss? It has to be surgery often, but if you put in the work, you can make it work without it. If you do the work and make good life decisions, you can make it possible. A positive mindset will also enable you to see improvements. Heavy lifting and derma rolling can help. Derma rolling is a decades-old practice, and you can have more collagen with the consistent use of this particular tool. Even senior citizens between the age of sixty and eighty have seen positive results after its use. Lasers are also an excellent option, but they are costly. [44:45] What does Rachel have on her website? All of her favorite things: personal care products, grooming products, hair growth stimulating effects, skincare products, and so much more. She works with a lot of brands, and she narrows them down. She even has quality supplements that are clean of toxins and work perfectly. She even gave everyone a fifteen percent discount. [46:40] How can you get rid of cellulite? Every time you take a bath, take it with one of her pineapple oils. Pick up a rounded ceramic product, take it into the bath, and use it against your skin. Be consistent to see results. AND MUCH MORE! Rachel Varga's website: https://rachelvarga.ca/  Use code KETOKAMP for 15% off site wide.

Today, I am blessed to have Leah Brueggemann here with me. She is a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner with a passion for holistic wellness. As a musician, wife, and devoted mother to the most energetic little boy, she is dedicated to educating others on achieving optimal hormonal health. In this episode, Leah emphasizes that a balanced foundation is crucial for hormonal health rather than solely focusing on hormone levels. She suggests addressing mineral deficiencies, which can disrupt hormones even if blood tests appear normal. Hair tissue mineral analysis is recommended to assess mineral levels. Additionally, Leah highlights the importance of blood sugar regulation for hormone function, recommending a balanced diet with protein, fat, and fiber at every meal. She emphasizes stress management through deep breathing and meditation techniques to regulate the nervous system and promote hormonal health. Later, Leah dives into the menstrual cycle; it’s a rhythm, but women try to fit it into a man's 24-hour cycle. This mismatch causes problems like fatigue and low progesterone. The cycle has four phases: period, follicular, ovulation, and luteal. Each phase has different hormonal balances and calls for different lifestyle approaches. Women can optimize their health and well-being by understanding these phases and aligning with them. Here are some tips for each phase: Period: Rest and reflect. Don't push yourself with workouts or demanding tasks. Follicular: Be creative, social, and build muscle. You're more sensitive to insulin during this time. Ovulation: Collaborate, be gutsy, and take risks. You're at your peak power. Luteal: Nurture yourself. Prioritize rest and relaxation. Focus on tasks that require less energy..

Today, I am blessed to have here with me the Founder and CEO of ENERGYbits, Catharine Arnston. Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking). As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born. It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae. Your body and Mother Earth say thank you. And we do too. In this episode, Catharine Arnston reveals the inspiration behind her algae research. After her sister's battle with breast cancer, Catharine knew she needed to get her message about the power of algae out and into the world. Algae has so many robust benefits, especially for people on the ketogenic or carnivore diet. Today is all about microalgae – it's called that because it's microscopic, 100 cells of microalgae could fit on the head of a pin. We talk about the differences between spirulina and chlorella. Plus, we dive into the importance of K2, omega-3, and why you need to ditch that fish oil. / / 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.

Use keto15 for 15% off: https://www.drphillipscbd.com/ketokamp [00:40] About The Ingenuity Behind Catharine's Robust Algae Research Catherine didn't find algae; it found her. About 12 years ago, her younger sister developed breast cancer. Her oncologist in Canada said to change her diet to an alkaline diet because it would help with her healing. An alkaline diet is primarily a plant-based diet because of the phytonutrients in the chlorophyll – it has been proven to build your immune system. Alkaline is also very beneficial for anyone on a carnivore or keto diet. Algae is the most alkaline food globally; it's also the most nutrient-dense food in the world. One gram of algae has the same nutrition as 1,000 grams of fruits and vegetables. There are no anti-nutrients because algae is not technically a plant. It doesn't have any oxalates, phytates, or lectins. [09:45] The Importance of Supporting Our Body's Cells Using Algae You have microalgae and macroalgae. Today we're talking about microalgae – it’s called that because it's microscopic in size, something like 100 cells of microalgae could fit on the head of a pin. The two we're going to talk about are spirulina and chlorella. They are not toxic because they are harvested in freshwater. Spirulina was the first life on Earth about 4 billion years ago. If you put the spirulina in the water, you'll see this blue, beautiful blue color come out. While on the other hand, chlorella is just a green pigment. Well, chlorella is a fat-based pigment. Spirulina has been scientifically proven to intercept the Covid virus. Also, it’s very energizing and an organic source of iron. Plus, it will help avoid the keto flu because it doesn’t increase your glucose or decrease or ketones. You can stay in your intermittent fasting without hunger using spirulina. Chlorella has the most chlorophyll. If you're not eating greens, you're missing out on this really wonderful nutrient. It will heal your cell walls, and it's effectively building your blood. [24:10] The Reasons We Need Quality K2 In Our Diets K2 will pull out excess calcium from soft tissue. Almost everyone is deficient in K2 - that's exactly why heart disease started escalating. It can certainly help with your longevity and your appearance by pulling out all that excess calcium. [27:50] The Strong Benefits Of Chlorophyll For The Keto Lifestyle Chlorophyll is like your cleanup squad for absorbing extra free radicals. When you match chlorophyll with sunlight, it actually generates ATP. So effectively, you're recycling the neutron or the electron so that it can generate ATP. Overall, the hack here is to consume some chlorophyll in the form of a high-quality source and then get some red light therapy or go outside in the sun. [37:40] Let's Get Omega-3 From Algae Instead of Rotten Fish Oil The spirulina has more omega-3. So, if you're looking for brain health, that's the one you want for sure. You will absorb 99% of the omega-3 from algae rather than 5% from fish oil. The demand for fish oil is killing entire species of fish. In the oceans, we have dead zones. That won't happen with algae because it grows in freshwater, and you can grow it anywhere. Plus, fish oil goes rancid even before you buy it. Well, algae will never go bad. [42:20] The Most Significant Amount of Tryptophan Globally Is In Algae Catharine usually recommends taking the spirulina in the morning and then again in the afternoon before a workout. Take the chlorella any time of day, but definitely before you go to bed. Chlorella has the highest concentration of tryptophan. It helps you with sleeping. It won't make you sleepy, but it will just facilitate the sleep process. When you are sleeping, that is when your body goes through a detox and repair cycle. When you have chlorella in your body while you're sleeping, it will be able to facilitate that detox much better. Also, chlorella particularly will help with peristalsis and bowel movements.

Today I have a Clinical Psychologist and both a Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine and a Fellow of The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, Michael J. Breus, Ph.D. He was one of the youngest people to have passed the Board at age 31 and, with a specialty in Sleep Disorders, is one of only 168 psychologists in the world with his credentials and distinction. Dr. Breus is on the clinical advisory board of The Dr. Oz Show and is a regular contributor on the show (35+ times). Dr. Breus is the author of the new book The Power of When, (September 2016) his third book ( #1 at Amazon for Time Management and #1 in Happiness, #28 overall) which is a ground breaking bio-hacking book proving that there is a perfect time to do everything, based on your hidden biological chronotype. Dr. Breus gives the reader the exact perfect time to have sex, run, a mile, eat a cheeseburger, ask your boss for a raise and much more. His second book The Sleep Doctor’s Diet Plan: Lose Weight Through Better Sleep (Rodale Books; May 2011), discusses the science and relationship between quality sleep and metabolism. His first book, GOOD NIGHT: The Sleep Doctor’s 4-Week Program to Better Sleep and Better Health (Dutton/Penguin), an Amazon Top 100 Best Seller, has been met with rave reviews and continues to change the lives of readers. In this episode, Dr. Michael Breus dives deep into the connection between hormones, sleep, and weight loss. Also, he speaks on the importance of melatonin - it's the key that starts the engine for sleep. Plus, Dr. Breus explains why eating before bed doesn't have to be a big deal. Stay tuned as Dr. Breus reveals how to find which Chronotype best fits you.

In 2004, Dr. Breus got on the Oprah Winfrey show. People started to think about sleep differently, and he began to get more media attention. Sleep doctors work with apnea and snoring. However, Dr. Breus works with people who want to sleep better – he wants to help the largest group of people.  [09:00] Destruction Means Growth Growth is a painful and destructive process. If you aren’t in pain, then you aren’t growing. If you want to grow, we need to destruct. Shift your mindset from IN the way to ON the way. [10:45] The Connection Between Hormones, Sleep, and Weight Loss Sleep deprivation is different for everybody. It’s a personalized situation. If you feel sleep-deprived, then you are. If you fall asleep within five minutes of hitting the pillow, then you have sleep deprivation. It should be a 10-15 minute process to get there. Hitting the snooze button more than once is sleep deprivation. Irregular bedtimes can cause sleep deprivation. What happens when your body is sleep-deprived? Cortisol increases. Appetite increases. Hormones will start to play a significant role. Ghrelin: increases hunger – this hormone will increase. Leptin: makes you feel full – it decreases by 15%. You will eat anything you can get your hands on. The most natural solution is not to be sleep-deprived. [17:15] The Importance of Melatonin When cortisol is high, melatonin is low. Melatonin is the key that starts the engine for sleep. You cannot sleep without melatonin being active and onboard. Be careful exercising too close to bedtime; it will take too long for your temperature to drop. A lack of melatonin can be an issue when experiencing jet lag. There are two situations where melatonin is something you should use: If you have a melatonin decline (age 50+). Autistic children. Do not take 10 mg of melatonin. Girls should not take melatonin under the age of 18 – it acts as a contraceptive. [24:45] Eating Before Bed    It depends on what you eat. Carbs make you feel sleepy. If you eat a big carbohydrate meal before bed, it will make you feel tired. Eat a 250 calorie snack before bed if you are hungry. Guava leaf tea shows that it keeps your blood sugar stable throughout the night. [27:55] Drinking Banana Tea Magnesium controls 300 functions in our body. Our bodies do not produce magnesium; we need to eat it. Even if you eat a bushel of kale, you still might not get the magnesium you are looking for.   [32:30] Are You a Night Owl or a Morning Person?

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

They had five doctors and one lawyer. Plus, they had a vegan doctor to argue against Dr. Paul. There was a lot of yelling, and Dr. Paul was barely given a chance to say what he needed to say. Paul invited them to his podcast to have an honest and genuine debate. None of them showed up. If you want to watch it on YouTube, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaPrrg4tytE [09:50] Why Dr. Paul Started To Eat More Carbohydrates Ketosis at the beginning for Dr. Paul without carbohydrates in his diet seemed fine. Eventually, Dr. Paul was getting a lot of muscle cramps, and he was getting heart palpitations at night. So, Dr. Paul started to reintroduce carbohydrates into his diet. First, he started to introduce honey into his lifestyle. After incorporating honey, Dr. Paul started to feel better. Blood sugar will spike when you include carbohydrates in your diet, especially honey. However, Dr. Paul’s blood glucose tracing was very low. [22:50] Why Dr. Paul Doesn’t Like The Term Insulin Resistance Paul doesn’t like the term insulin resistance. He thinks metabolic dysfunction is a more precise term. He doesn't like to say insulin resistance because two types of insulin resistance are often confused and conflated. The first type of insulin resistance is physiologic insulin resistance. Humans have evolved a state known as ketosis, which goes hand in hand with physiologic insulin resistance. Then, there is pathological insulin resistance. Many people who exclude carbohydrates will see improvements in their physiology. [34:50] The Importance of Decreasing The Amount of Linoleic Acid In Your Diet Many people should decrease the amount of linoleic acid in their diet. We have to understand how much linoleic acid is in the foods we eat as humans. Soybean oil has 45 to 50% linoleic acid. Butter and tallow, which has rendered animal fat from cows, will have much lower levels of linoleic acid, around 2%. The composition of our cell membranes takes a long time to change. So, breaking down the linoleic acid will take a great deal of time. A low carbohydrate approach will help lower the linoleic acid in your diet. [40:00] What Happens When We Consume Too Much Linoleic Acid When we eat more linoleic acid, we can find more oxidized LDL. The oxidation and the instability of linoleic acid is one of the problems. There could be some potentially hormonal roles for linoleic acid that are negative as well. The underlying thing to consider here is an evolutionarily appropriate diet for humans. We consume much more linoleic acid than we ever have. [47:25] Should You Be Taking Fish Oil on The Ketogenic Diet? Fish oil spoils extremely fast. These oils are so fragile, and we're putting them in capsules, and we're presuming that they're not oxidized. The only place Dr. Paul is getting omega-3 is essentially from ruminant animal fat. Paul is not convinced that omega-3s are that beneficial or that we should be pumping ourselves full of them. There have been millions and millions of humans that have no access to coastal foods; they did just fine from eating land animals. [64:35] You Want To Push Your Linoleic Acid Consumption As Low As Possible Paul says to keep your linoleic acid consumption as low as possible. The human body can't make omega-6, but there's omega-6 in everything. The linoleic acid composition of a mother's breast milk changes based on their dietary consumption. If you look at the hunter-gatherers, their linoleic acid in the breast milk is much lower because they're eating so little linoleic acid in their diet. [70:10] Thirty Days To Radical Health Paul is doing an animal-based 30-day challenge. In fact, Dr. Paul challenges you to try an animal-based diet for 30 days and NOT flourish! Learn more about the challenge here: https://animalbased30.com/ When you sign up, he will send you a free infographic and an eBook. [75:55] Are There Any Vegetables That You Should Be Eating? If you think canonically about what a vegetable is, it's the part of a plant that it doesn't want you to eat. Vegetables don’t have a role in human health unless you want to go to great lengths to detoxify them. If you want to do vegetables, ferment the heck out of them and maybe do something like sauerkraut. Even some fruit can be problematic for humans. [88:10] Is There Really A Connection Between Eating Meat and Colon Cancer? We've been cooking meat for more than a million years. Calcium is an essential part of every human diet, whether you're getting it from bones or you're getting it from good sources of dairy. When you have more calcium in the diet, you tend to see lower rates of colon cancer. Overall, we should go back to the idea of what's evolutionarily consistent, and we try to understand that as best as possible to inform our behaviors. AND MUCH MORE!

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

At one point, Dr. Hunt could barely read; she realized that she was losing her cognition.  After doing research, Dr. Hunt realized a massive problem with her patients and their nutrition. To solve problems, you have to look at the symptoms and figure out what foods or supplements will help build better cells.  [07:10] Energy Is Everything: How The Sun Can Help Heal Your Body The sun in the sky is in thermodynamic equilibrium with Earth. The light in the sun gives us all the energy to grow plants and for the plants to perform photosynthesis.  Those plants are cleaning our environment and making oxygen for us to breathe, and we are burning the oxygen as fuel.  When you understand electromagnetic radiation, it is frequencies of energy. The energy from the sun is feeding animals, plants, and humans.  All information comes from sunlight either, directly or indirectly.  [10:20] Should You Go Outside and Get More Sunshine Today?  You should be outside no matter where you live. Also, be cognizant of your skin type. Dr. Hunt recommends getting the D Minder App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/d-minder-pro/id547102495 You need just the right amount of sunlight.  Don’t scroll on Instagram all day; instead, play with the D Minder App.  [15:00] Mitochondria 101: The Mini Suns That Live Inside of Us  The mitochondria are our suns within us.  They make energy.  The mitochondria take information from the sun, food, electrons, and oxygen. Then, they pack up this molecule called ATP, which gives direction to our DNA. [19:30] There Are Over 600,000 Mitochondria Fertilization In One Cell The brain, the eyes, the heart, and the ovaries have the highest concentration of mitochondria.  In fact, an egg has 600,000 mitochondria fertilization in one cell.  You have to kick start a consciousness in one cell. The night before ovulation, the egg takes 20 billion zinc atoms into it. The egg has more mitochondria than the brain; it’s magic.   [21:20] Fertility Rates Are Declining: Here’s What You Can Do Women are getting pregnant older. Fertility is continuing to decline.  We are poisoning our eggs and our sperm over generations. There are fewer pregnancies and fewer healthy children.  Fertility rates will plummet because of our toxic environment and poor nutrition.  You have to find ways to lower insulin.  Practice fasting so you can get rid of toxins.  [27:50] The Real Reason Autism Rates Are Increasing In Our Population  Evolutionarily speaking, the genetics of autism predates the split from humans to primates.  Prior to the DSM removing Asperger's, autistic people would have been diagnosed with Asperger's. People with Asperger's would have been the people who are putting cities together, building things, and staying by the fire.  People with autism now have neuroinflammation. There are too many pesticides and heavy metals.  Plus, there are too many providers who don’t understand the difference between neuroinflammation and autism.  [32:40] Why Mental Health Is Decreasing and How You Can Lower Inflammation In The Brain  Water follows carbs. If you have too much sugar and alcohol, you better spend some time fasting to get rid of the inflammation. If your rings are too tight, your brain is inflamed.  When you’re inflamed, you are puffing up your nerves like you’re puffing up your fingers.  If you’re not giving yourself the right building blocks, your brain will stay inflamed. So, you need to lower your inflammation through nutrition and fasting.  [46:40] You Need To Get More Vitamin D From Sunlight  You want your vitamin D between 65 and 85 by the end of the summer.  If your vitamin D is 12, you will need a supplement. Once you open your brain and realize you are supposed to be naked in the sun, then you will use that in a 365-day cycle to heal yourself. Pills won’t fix your problems.  The solar light will fix your problems, and so will a ketogenic lifestyle.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Morgan Nolte, PT, DPT, Board Certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist (ABPTS) is the founder of Zivli, LLC.  This episode originally aired in March 2022. She graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2014 and completed the Creighton University Hillcrest Health Systems Geriatric Physical Therapy Residency Program in 2015. Outside of work she loves cheering on the Nebraska Cornhuskers, spending time with her husband, Justin, playing with their kids Dawson and Leah, devouring audiobooks, and being active. In this episode, Dr. Morgan Nolte opens the show by diving into her background and why she is so passionate about disease prevention. Keeping insulin low is one of the most significant ways to prevent disease; Dr. Nolte explains the role of insulin in the body and why having too much of it can wreak havoc on the body. Then, Dr. Nolte speaks about why caloric restriction is not an efficient way to keep weight off; in reality, keeping insulin low is a way to maintain a healthy weight and prevent disease. Tune in as we chat about why intermittent fasting is excellent for your gut, and Dr. Nolte reveals some of her favorite resources for maintaining a healthy mind.

Plus, she has additional training to be board certified in geriatrics.  Dr. Nolte would see people in their sixties who were acting like they were eighty.  The care and services that Dr. Nolte would provide seemed like it was too little and too late.  Insulin resistance is at the core of all the conditions that Dr. Nolte treats. The longer you hold off making those lifestyle changes, the harder it will be to get healthier.  The longer we continue to make poor decisions, the easier those decisions are to maintain. [10:15] The Role of Insulin In Health and Disease  Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas. It is a good thing and a vital hormone.  Insulin is an anabolic hormone, meaning its role is to build things up. Insulin’s role is to move blood sugar, or blood glucose from your bloodstream, into your cells to be either used as energy right away or to be stored in the form of muscle glycogen, liver glycogen, adipose tissue, or fat tissue. Exercise will reduce blood sugar. You shouldn’t focus on calories. Instead, you should focus on blood sugar for weight loss.  When insulin continues to go up, your cells will become resistant to that insulin. Eventually, you will start to see blood sugars go up.  Remember, 88% of adults have insulin resistance. If you learn how to live a low insulin lifestyle, you’ll lose weight and prevent disease.  [22:50] Your Metabolism Will Slow Down With Chronic Caloric Restriction  A fascinating study showed chronic caloric restriction slows your metabolism for six months to four years. When you return to your old eating habits, you’ll gain weight because your metabolism has slowed down.  Many doctors don’t have the capacity and the resources to help their patients with nutrition.  Overall, we need more proactive measures, and we need to take responsibility for our health.  [25:40] Stop Asking This Question: “How Do I Lose Weight?” We are asking the wrong question.  We shouldn’t ask, “how do I lose weight?” In reality, you should be asking, “how do I lower insulin?” The quality of the questions you are asking will determine the quality of your life.  If you want to lose weight and keep it off, that takes an entirely different approach and mindset.  Anyone who has been in the coaching business understands that mindset trumps everything else.  If you don’t have the mindset in place, all other strategies will fall short.  [27:25] Autosuggestions Can Help You Live A Healthy Lifestyle  Here are some books that will help with your mindset: Think and Grow Rich: https://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Rich-Napoleon-Hill/dp/0449214923/benazadi-20 Atomic Habits: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299/benazadi-20 Traction: https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Gino-Wickman-audiobook/dp/B00A9Z973M/benazadi-20 The systems that Dr. Nolte learned to implement in her business are things like being accountable, being productive, and being focused. These are exactly the same systems that her clients need to stay focused and accountable towards their new healthy lifestyle. For Dr. Nolte, living a healthy lifestyle is automatic to her. She wants to help her clients automatically live a healthy lifestyle too.  [44:45] Why Does Intermittent Fasting Work So Well For The Gut?  To learn more about fasting, Dr. Nolte recommends Cynthia Thurlow’s work: https://cynthiathurlow.com/ It’s important to let your digestive system have a break. Fasting will let your digestive enzymes do their job.  Another helpful resource is Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease--and How to Fight It: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Sick-Disease_and/dp/194883698X/benazadi-20 AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Doug Fears. He is a senior adviser (non-resident) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the chief operating office of Artis International, a company specializing in integrating artificial intelligence and behavioral science. Growing up on the eastern shore of Maryland along the Chesapeake Bay, he was naturally drawn to a life on the water. This inclination led him to enlist in the Coast Guard in 1982, initially with no intention of making a long-term commitment. However, Doug's initial four-year plan transformed into a 40-year career. Eventually, Doug transitioned into roles centered on policy and D.C., focusing primarily on federal budgeting. He closely collaborated with the House of Representatives, the Office of Budget and Programs, and the National Security Council staff. His career path afforded him profound insights into governmental operations and the intricacies of public policy. In this episode, Doug discusses his life journey and delves into the concerning state of government nutrition policies.

[16:59] Keto and Health Transformation Fat adaptation can be achieved relatively quickly by restricting carbs and increasing fat intake. Keto adaptation is a more prolonged process that involves reshaping physiological properties and processes. Keto-adapted individuals may experience a decline in ketone levels, indicating efficient ketone utilization. Maintaining a flexible approach to intermittent fasting can enhance the journey to better health. The use of tools like the power plate and other devices can help increase bone density and improve overall fitness.  [25:33] Dental Health: The Mouth-Heart Connection The toxins in the mouth may attribute to a significant percentage of heart disease. Biological dentistry recognizes the interconnectedness of oral health with the overall body. The removal of amalgam fillings and root canal-treated teeth can aid in reducing toxic burden. Cavitations, unhealed spaces in the jawbone, can harbor harmful bacteria and contribute to systemic inflammation. Improving airway health and addressing sleep apnea can positively impact overall well-being. [32:03] Biohacking and Optimal Health Wim Hof breathing and cold exposure can provide an immediate boost in energy and mental acuity. Red light therapy, especially when used in 10-minute cycles on various body areas, has a profound impact on well-being. Methylene blue, when combined with red light therapy, enhances ATP production, contributing to improved energy and overall performance. Nitric oxide and methylene blue can both be beneficial, but it's essential to use them cyclically rather than chronically. Ozone therapy, including rectal insufflation and ozonated water, can help address toxicity and health issues without resorting to antibiotics.  [49:47] The State of Government Nutrition Policies  The government's nutritional guidelines are problematic and counterproductive, promoting the wrong dietary choices. Public health interests are often influenced by industry interests and lobbying, making it challenging to shift towards more accurate health recommendations. Metabolic health and nutrition should have been a central focus during the pandemic, but the public often seeks quick fixes and pills rather than making lifestyle changes. There's a clear agenda to push engineered plant-based foods and diminish the popularity of the keto diet, leading to censorship and misleading information. A fact-based, empirically sound approach is essential to promote health and reduce medical costs, emphasizing the need for unbiased research and funding. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Yoshi Rahm. He is a board-certified osteopathic family physician with a separate board certification in Integrative and Holistic Medicine. Dr. Yoshi grew up in a small town in Northern California. His simple upbringing, which included living without electricity, TV, or phone, gave him an early appreciation for healthy living.   He attended U.C. San Diego, where he majored in Animal Physiology and Neuroscience and minored in Human Development. He ran Track and Cross-Country for UCSD before co-founding a running club. After graduating, Dr. Yoshi interned at a neuroscience laboratory in Germany and traveled throughout Europe before working at a nonprofit Biotech laboratory in San Diego. Dr. Yoshi attended Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine. As a medical student, he participated in many volunteer activities, including medical missions to Mexico and Ecuador. After medical school, he completed his Internship and Residency in Family Medicine at Glendale Adventist Medical Center. During his time there, he was elected Chief Resident. Upon graduation, he received the two highest distinctions: “Resident Teacher Award” as presented by the faculty and “Resident of the Year Award” as recognized by the staff. Dr. Yoshi then became an Attending Physician teaching at the same residency program. In this episode, Dr. Yoshi speaks about the inspiration behind his career in brain health. He explains why disease and life expectancy stats are getting worse instead of better in the United States. Later, Dr. Yoshi dives into everything methylene blue: the history, the benefits, and how it works to improve your health. Tune in as we chat about ozone therapy, extra-corporeal blood ozonation and oxygenation (EBOO), and other biohacks.  JOIN MY 90 DAY HEAVY METALS DETOX PROGRAM (2 SPOTS LEFT): HTTP://WWW.KETOKAMPDETOX.COM  Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm Purchase methylene blue here: https://bit.ly/3Wj3n70 use code KETOKAMP for a discount / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S Good Idea Functional Sparkling Water Drinks.

He passed away from a seizure when he was twenty-five. So, Dr. Yoshi grew interested in brain health and how we can help the neurological system.  Dr. Yoshi grew up on 40 acres in the middle of nowhere with no TV, electricity, toilet, or phones. His childhood had an impact on his appreciation for healthy living.  In college, Dr. Yoshi majored in Animal Physiology and Neuroscience. Now, Dr. Yoshi makes a big difference in the lives of others through exceptional integrative and modern medical care. [07:55] Why Disease Stats Are Not Getting Any Better In The United States  Many diseases come down to politics, poor education, and big pharma. Where is the money being spent on advertising? It’s being spent on pharmaceutical ads.  The population will split into two segments: the people who know what real health is and everyone else in the United States.  The average life expectancy has actually gone down in the past year or two.  [12:00] What You Need To Know About Methylene Blue Methylene blue has been around for a little over 100 years.  In fact, methylene blue was one of the first true medications in the United States.  The World Health Organization has methylene blue on its list of essential medications to fight parasites.  Methylene blue is excellent for the mitochondria.  Methylene blue's only real side effect is that your mouth will turn blue.  If you require mitochondria support, methylene blue is extremely useful.  [20:20] Using Methylene Blue To Benefit The Mitochondria and Help Your Body Heal   “Methylene blue is food for the mitochondria.” -Dr. Yoshi   You can have these mitochondria that die off, but you can also have half-functioning mitochondria. When you have a metabolic disease, the mitochondria are not working well. Methylene blue will go to the broken mitochondria, which will benefit it the most.  There are many reasons for disease, but one is not having enough energy. When we can correct deficiencies, our bodies will know how to heal.  [27:10] Some of the Many Benefits You Can Experience Using Methylene Blue Methylene blue will give you clarity of mind because it supplies enough energy to the brain. Also, methylene blue will help brain fog lift.  Plus, methylene blue is excellent for physical energy.  Any excess methylene blue gets excreted through the kidneys. So, methylene blue is good for chronic UTIs and bladder infections.  Lastly, methylene blue is phenomenal for chronic infections.  [36:15] Using Sunlight, Sea Salt, and Water To Help With Cell Communication  Humans used to get water from springs and rivers. Water, minerals, and sunlight will structure the water. Get clean water, add high-quality sea salt, and put it in the sun.  That way, you will better structure the water and absorb it into the body.  [40:05] About Ozone Therapy and How It Can Help You Find Better Health  There are a lot of different types of ozone therapies out there. Ozone balances cytokines and the immune system. Ozone is a supercharged form of oxygen comprised of three atoms. At Dr. Yoshi’s office, he does O3D Infusion or Extra-Corporeal Blood Ozonation and Oxygenation (EBOO or EBO2). This type of therapy will give you a larger ozone dose, translating to better health.  Learn more about the services at Oasis Family Medicine: https://www.oasisfamilymedicine.com/ AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Yoshi’s Website: https://www.oasisfamilymedicine.com/ Follow Dr. Yoshi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctorYoshi Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDoctorYoshi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/YoshiRahm Blog: https://dryoshirahm.blogspot.com Dr. Pompa with Dr. Yoshi on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZlEmDcvIpE Purchase the Methylene Blue Suppository that Ben uses, called Lumetol Blue Bullet: https://www.mitozen.com/ketokamp/?v=7516fd43adaa, and use the coupon code ketokamp   Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Purchase methylene blue here: https://bit.ly/3Wj3n70 use code KETOKAMP for a discount.

In this episode, Dr. Nathan Bryan dives into various aspects of nutrition, health, and physiological processes. He emphasizes the importance of understanding food as fuel and tailoring diets to individual metabolic demands, highlighting the risks of excess carbohydrate consumption for sedentary individuals. Dr. Bryan then discusses the significance of recognizing symptoms as warning signs and reducing sugar intake for better health, advocating for personalized dietary approaches.  He challenges the historical demonization of fats in nutrition and critiques cholesterol-lowering approaches, stressing the essential role of fats in cellular function. Plus, we explore the landscape of intermittent fasting, addressing resistance to new data and the influence of pharmaceutical interests in medicine. Tune in as we chat about the crucial role of nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in various cellular processes, underscoring its importance for cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Dr. Nathan Bryan will be telling us all about how nitric oxide is the root of it all. He’ll go into the how and why nitric oxide is the holy grail of anti-aging medicine and longevity; that is, so long as you're able to produce enough of it. Dr. Bryan will go on to explain that, “Everything we've learned over the past 30 years about the onset and progression of chronic disease all relate to the loss of nitric oxide production. It's the earliest event in the onset and progression of disease.” Resources from this episode:  Website: https://drnathansbryan.com Get Dr Nathan Bryan's Nitric Oxide Supplements and products here: https://bit.ly/3TOuUMW Use the coupon code KETOKAMP for a discount!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me David Reid. David Reid, a visionary and pioneer in holistic health, is the driving force behind Manna, a revolutionary endeavor dedicated to empowering humanity to reclaim its vitality and well-being through natural means. Ten years ago, David found himself at a crossroads, grappling with a profound sense of disconnection and fatigue, both physically and spiritually. As a former practitioner in the medical field, he recognized the limitations of conventional approaches and embarked on a transformative quest to unearth ancient wisdom and merge it with modern science. In this episode, we dive into David's journey of self-discovery and exploration of sacred knowledge; it led him to encounter two powerful substances, Shilajit and Ormus, revered for their health benefits. Through his quest, he crafted Manna, combining these elements to enhance vitality and well-being. Shilajit, hailed for its fertility and vitality-boosting properties, acts as a vital nutrient source, while Manna's transformative effects extend to improved libido and collagen production. Manna's potency stems from its role in optimizing bodily fluids, supported by clinical studies highlighting its impact on mitochondrial ATP production. Tune in as David emphasizes the importance of sourcing quality Shilajit, which varies based on altitude and fulvic acid content. Ultimately, Manna emerges as a holistic elixir, offering multifaceted benefits for cognitive, sexual, and overall health.

It can feel frustrating when you’re doing everything right, and you hit a plateau.  Hot flashes, weight gain, and energy issues are massive symptoms.  Menopause is natural. However, suffering is optional.  In a quick window of time, we can feel improvements and feel empowered.  [07:10] The Importance of Maintaining Healthy Ovarian Function   We can restore and keep healthy ovarian function by looking at hormone disrupters and clearing them from our bodies. Plus, we should support the liver and detoxification.  Healthy habits will allow us to have our menstrual cycles for longer - it’s a longevity marker. One of the risk factors for diabetes and pre-diabetes is menopause. A higher risk factor is if you've had a hysterectomy. Thirdly, if you've had your ovaries removed, you have a significantly higher risk of diabetes. If you had your ovaries removed, even before 65, your risk of cardiovascular disease is almost double.  The association with diabetes tells how important it is to maintain healthy ovarian function.  [09:10] Why Women Need More Ketones Between The Ages of 35 and 55  During ages 35 - 55, the use of glucose in a women’s brain significantly decreases.  Instead, you shift to using ketones for fuel in the brain. Dr. Cabeca emphasizes the importance of greens. Depending on your symptoms, you have to pause greens, or you may have to pause meat.  Sometimes we need to challenge our gut bacteria, and sometimes, we have to support digestive enzymes. It depends on your unique needs.  [14:15] Why You May Want To Consider Using A Progesterone Cream  Dr. Anna Cabeca is a massive fan of progesterone.  There are progesterone receptors in our brain, bones, and breasts. Progesterone supports healthy breast tissue.  Plus, progesterone will support healthy metabolism and healthy neuroendocrine function.  Dr. Cabeca has used progesterone in men for anxiety and insomnia; it is a total game-changer.  Oral progesterone is excellent if you are working on sleep.  Check out Balance if you’re looking for a progesterone cream: https://drannacabeca.com/products/pura-balance-ppr-cream. [22:40] Gratitude and Positive Thinking Can Make You Happier  You have to pause negative thinking.  Negative thoughts will predominate our lives if we allow them to.  Try gratitude and praying.  There is always something to be grateful for.  Gratitude is so easy to do, making it easy not to do.  People have 60,000 thoughts per day - most of them are negative. It’s time to pause and think about gratitude.  [28:45] Using Mighty Maca To Alkalize The Body and Balance Hormones  Ideally, we're working on restoring our natural ovarian production or natural adrenal production. When Dr. Cabeca looks at fertility, she will look at a 21-day progesterone level.  Mighty Maca is something Dr.Cabeca recommends for adrenal support.  One of Dr. Cabeca’s clients used Mighty Maca to fix her progesterone levels and finally get pregnant. Get Mighty Maca here: https://drannacabeca.com/products/mighty-maca [33:10] Unique Plans To Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau  If you hit a plateau, it’s time to pause and try something new. There are five different six-day menu plans.  The gut mucosa regenerates every 72 hours. So a six-day plan will give you two 72 hour cycles.  Here are some of the menu plans: Pausing nightshades Plant-based menu Carnivore menu A cleanse with a gallbladder liver flush Adding healthy carbs AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Peter Martone. He has been dedicated to creating the happiest, healthiest most well-rested tribe of people on the planet for over the past 20 years. He is the owner of Atlantis Chiropractic Wellness Centers and the inventor of the Neck Nest, a revolutionary new pillow that is designed to improve your posture while you sleep. Dr. Martone’s techniques have been featured nationally on CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX news stations and currently travels the country teaching people regain their health by mastering the art of living a healthy lifestyle. In this episode, Dr. Martone opens the show by revealing how fixing his sleep position completely changed his life and relieved him of his back pain. There's a study out there that claims sleeping on your side is the best position. However, Dr. Martone explains what's wrong with that study and why sleeping on your back is the way to go. Also, Dr. Martone reveals what's happening to your body when you sleep in the wrong position and how you can start to fix that. Tune in as we chat all about the Neck Nest, heart rate variability, and why you should never wear socks to bed.

He attributed it to working out a lot and being super active. Eventually, Dr. Martone ended up in the emergency room with a herniated disc. After looking at thousands of x-rays, Dr. Martone can tell what position people sleep in. Martone realized that his back pain was a result of his sleep posture. In the spine, you’re supposed to have a curve in your neck. If you’re using a pillow in the wrong position, then it can flatten the curve. [08:00] Is It True That The Best Sleep Position Is On Your Side? The best sleeping position is on your back. There’s a study that shows side sleeping is best for lymphatic drainage. When you're horizontal, your body actually heals at night. Lymphatic drainage will detoxify the neural tissue in the body. The nervous system is the most important system of the human body; your spine protects that nervous system. So, we should be focusing on our spinal structure when sleeping. [12:45] Wolff’s Law and Davis’s Law Will Determine How Your Body Adapts If you constantly stress the tissue, the body will adapt by building more tissue. Wolff’s Law states that if you don’t use it, then you lose it. If you sit in a chair all day long, your brain will atrophy. Davis’s Law states that the tissue will remold itself based on the stresses you’re putting on it. You can mold your body based on what your tissues are exposed to. If you’re constantly in one position all day long, then you will lose the cervical curve in your neck. [15:15] These Common Symptoms Means Your Sleeping Posture Is Incorrect If your spine is damaged, it can cause serious side effects. Spine damage can alter your: Ability to lose weight Digestion Ability to take a deep breath Your sleep position can suppress your immune system, digestive system, and reproductive system. If you have autoimmune issues, breathing issues, or chronic digestion issues, then you should take a hard look at your sleeping position. [25:10] Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Has A Strong Connection To Your Sleep So your body has two systems, you have your thrive systems, and then survival systems. The thrive systems include reproductive, digestive, and immune. Your survival systems are engaged to keep you alive. These include your body temperature, your skeletal system, and your cardiovascular system. Your body is growing, healing, and nurturing at night. Your heart rate is very irregular at night. The HRV is an algorithm that measures the variability of the heart and can give you a score. The more variable your heartbeat is, in general, the healthier you are. You want a higher HRV. [30:10] Sleep With Your Arms and Your Legs Uncovered – Dr. Martone Explains Why   The core temperature of your body needs to cool very rapidly in order to get really good deep sleep. You don't want to have your hands and your feet under the covers. Your body only cares about the core temperature; it does not care about your hands and your feet. Don’t wear socks to bed! [35:10] All About The Neck Nest and How It Can Help You Sleep Better At Night The Neck Nest is designed to hug your neck. When you purchase the Neck Nest, there’s a period where you need to break it in. The neck nest is designed to be sleep support for your neck, not your head. You can use the Neck Nest every night for relief from muscle tension and stiffness, headache, back, and neck pain. It cradles your neck while keeping the shoulders, head, and spine perfectly aligned. Learn more about the Neck Nest: https://necknest.com/ketokamp/. [43:20] Changing Nothing But Your Sleep Position, Or Posture Will Increase Heart Rate Variability By 30% Changing your sleep position alone and getting a good deep quality sleep will improve your HRV by about 30%. It depends on how long your body will take to get used to being on your back. It can take anywhere between two or three months for your HRV to adjust. AND MUCH MORE!

Jacoby’s Research For The Surgeon General of Taiwan The Surgeon General asked Dr. Jacoby of Taiwan to figure out why people there had diabetes. After doing research, Dr. Jacoby told the Surgeon General that it was their diet. Luckily, Dr. Jacoby was able to educate them on insulin resistance, diabetes, and the cause of their health problems. [04:00] Sugar Is Not Only A Drug, But It’s Also A Toxic Poison Too Sugar is a poison. Table sugar is really glucose, which is not sweet, mixed with fructose, which is sweet. Well, that’s a disaccharide which is a poison. Most people love this poison because the hippocampus in your brain is the addiction center. The brain will turn off enzymes that cause satiation. Sugar is probably 20 times worse than cocaine. Ancel Keys told us that cholesterol was causing heart disease; however, that’s a total lie. Every process in the body is nerve-muscle function. Through Dr. Jacoby Global Compression Theory, he links carbohydrates to conditions like plantar fasciitis, Alzheimer's disease, MS, ALS, and Autism. If you're carrying the genes and eating sugar, you're going to get that particular disease. [20:15] Avoiding The Hidden Dangers Of High-Fructose Corn Syrup 80% of all the food in the United States has high-fructose corn syrup in it. High-fructose corn syrup is made by putting the corn in sodium hydroxide. For many years, they were using mercury to separate the starch from the husk. Plus, it’s grown with glyphosate, which is the main ingredient in Roundup. This is one of the reasons that Autism is so high. [24:30] How Does The Immune System Fight Covid-19? The vaccine does not prevent you from getting the vaccine. It will change your response to the virus. Why do some people die from a virus and other people don’t? If your immune system is down, it won’t be able to kill the virus. While on the other hand, if you have a healthy immune system, it will kill anything. The higher our inflammatory levels, the lower our vitamin D levels will be. Take vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, melatonin, and don't eat sugar. That way, you have a 99.9% chance of not dying from this virus. [33:00] Our Food Supply In The United States Is Making The Virus Worse      Jacoby isn’t telling people don't eat sugar. He’s saying if you do eat sugar, then you're going to die. Sugar tastes great – it’s a drug! We all eat it. However, we should know better in 2021. Sadly, our tax dollars are broadcasting lies. Plus, we are wearing masks and being told to stay inside. Money and control are at the root of our problems. There is a direct link between sugar in our diet and nerve damage, which results in a wide range of chronic, debilitating diseases that are seemingly unrelated. [41:30] Your Body Is Built To Heal Itself + How You Can Help Stop eating sugar, get vitamin D, vitamin C, melatonin, get sun, and you’re going to be fine. That’s what it takes for your body to handle the virus. Jacoby says that if you are selling the keto diet, then you should be able to open your restaurants. If your restaurant is selling sugar, then you need to stay closed. People should be outraged! We can empower others and change the entire outcome of our country. [49:15] How To Kick Your Sugar Addiction + Help Your Health Jacoby puts butter in his coffee, and it changed everything. Italians put butter in their coffee. Human beings eat fat – that’s their natural diet. Sugar is not in our natural diet. You can also put sea salt in your coffee to replenish electrolytes. If you just eat fat, then you will live forever. Theoretically, all you need is fat because you will make your own sugar. [52:50] Artificial Sweeteners Could Be The Poison Ruining Your Health Artificial sugar is still a sugar molecule with a toxin. Monkfruit and stevia are okay. Once you get on keto, you won’t want to eat that sweet taste. Anything that ends in “ose” is bad. Words with “ol” like alcohol is sugar alcohol. AND MUCH MORE!

[09:20] Karen's Menopausal Odyssey: A Rapid Onset, Unusual Timeline, and the Role of Thyroid Medication -       Karen experienced a sudden and intense onset of menopausal symptoms within a six-month period. This included a significant increase in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to menopausal levels, a drop in estrogen and progesterone, as well as other symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain in the stomach area, itchy skin, and breast tenderness. -       Her experience of going through menopause deviated from the typical timeline. Instead of the gradual progression over 10 years of perimenopause followed by a couple of years of more intense symptoms, Karen’s symptoms intensified rapidly, leading to a quicker transition into menopause. -       Karen discovered that the thyroid medication she was taking played a role in exacerbating her hormonal imbalance. -       Luckily, Karen successfully reversed some of the adverse effects of early menopause by implementing changes in her lifestyle and incorporating hormone replacement therapy. [15:20] Dietary Challenges and Hormonal Harmony -       Karen observed issues arising from a prolonged and intense adherence to hardcore keto diets among her clients, as well as in her own experience. Problems included menstrual irregularities, hair loss, and weight regain. Individuals were resorting to more extreme measures like extended fasting and carnivore diets in an attempt to address these challenges. -       Initially, the hardcore keto approach appeared to yield positive results, with clients experiencing improved energy levels, weight loss, and relief from menopausal symptoms. However, over the long term, these benefits diminished, prompting Karen to investigate the impact on the thyroid and other hormonal systems. -       Karen emphasizes the importance of understanding the body's response to dietary signals, particularly in the context of signaling abundance or scarcity. -       Karen advocates for the Keto Flex approach, incorporating carbohydrate intake a few days a week to signal abundance and support reproductive functions. [21:35] Optimizing Protein Intake: Recommendations for Weightlifters and Non-Lifters, Daily Distribution, and Whole-Food Emphasis -       Karen suggests adjusting protein intake based on whether an individual engages in weightlifting. For those not lifting weights, she recommends a slightly lower protein intake, around 0.5 to 0.8 grams per pound of body weight. -       However, for those involved in weightlifting, she recommends aiming for the standard guideline of 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight. -       Karen emphasizes the importance of distributing protein intake throughout the day. Ideally, individuals should aim for 30 to 35 grams of protein per meal. -       While acknowledging that many women may need to supplement their protein intake with shakes or essential amino acids, Karen emphasizes the preference for obtaining protein from whole food sources rather than relying solely on supplements. [23:05] Navigating Hormonal Health: Baseline Assessment, Sensitivity Variations, and Proactive Intervention in Perimenopause -       Karen emphasizes the importance of getting a baseline of hormones, especially during the fertile years in one's 30s. -       Different individuals have varying sensitivities to hormones, and what is considered normal or within the range may differ from person to person. -       Perimenopause typically begins between the ages of 35 and 40, marked by a decline in progesterone due to less frequent ovulation. Karen advises paying attention to subtle signs, such as weight gain, worsening periods, insomnia, or other symptoms emerging in the late 30s. Proactive intervention during this phase is recommended. -       Waiting until significant symptoms manifest may complicate treatment. Unfortunately, Karen notes that many doctors may be reluctant to address hormonal issues until a woman is in menopause, and finding a doctor willing to provide appropriate treatment with bioidentical hormones can be challenging. [37:05] Reverse T3, Testing Challenges, and the Impact of Heavy Metal Toxicity -       Karen stresses the importance of testing for reverse T3, a thyroid hormone that is often overlooked by doctors. -       She notes that obtaining reverse T3 testing can be challenging in some regions, such as Canada, where it may need to be sent to a lab in California. Doctors may not routinely order this test, so individuals are encouraged to advocate for their health by requesting and even paying for the test themselves. -       Karen explains that a crucial aspect of thyroid health is the relationship between free T4 and free T3. -       Lastly, Karen shares her personal experience of heavy metal toxicity affecting her thyroid health. [42:55] Proactive Hormonal Health: Early Intervention, Supplements, and the Role of Hormone Replacement in Preventing Decline-Related Diseases -       Karen emphasizes the importance of addressing hormonal imbalances proactively and early, especially before the onset of severe symptoms. -       Hormones play a crucial role beyond reproduction, influencing the function of organs throughout the body. -       Catching hormonal imbalances early can prevent the development of diseases associated with hormonal decline. -       During the late 30s and early 40s, when ovarian function starts to decline, Karen recommends certain supplements and lifestyle changes to support hormone production for a longer duration. -       Karen highlights that replacing hormones becomes a crucial option when natural hormone production declines.

No. 1: Changes to DNA, including epigenetic modification and telomere length. No. 2: Disruptions in energy production due to mitochondria failure. No. 3: Problems with metabolic pathways, especially the sirtuins, AMPK, and mTOR pathways. No 4: Quality control problems that affect DNA and protein repair. No. 5: Inflammatory issues due to a faulty immune system. No. 6: Not fulfilling the needs of specific cells. No. 7: Incomplete waste management. Boost the immune system with the following... Quercitin circumin, egcg, Zinc vitamin D What's the basis of the Kaufmann Protocol? For every anti-aging agent I've identified, I've created a numerical system that rates it on a 0 to 3 scale for each of the seven categories of cell aging in the order I've already listed. For example, resveratrol and its more bioavailable cousin, pterostilbene, hits every category, carrying a Kaufmann Rating score of 2.3.3.3.2.2 for a total of 15. Carnosine, a dipeptide, has a Kaufmann Rating of 0.3.0.0.0.0.3 for six points. There are also beneficial epigenetic modifiers, such as sulforaphane, resveratrol and curcumin. So you can affect your genes positively by eating good things. What are metabolic pathways and how do they influence aging? Moving on to mitochondria…why do you call these little power stations "a necessary evil?"  Fortunately, there are several things that can help the mitochondria out: astaxanthin, curcumin, quercetin, resveratrol or pterostilbene, and nicotinamide. When too many mitochondria are damaged, energy production drops, which affects all of the other categories and is why old people tend to feel tired a lot. You'll also learn the following...

Today, I am 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 one body. Take care of it! [36:00] Intense Pain After An Adjustment Your body has adapted to the positions and activities you do every single day. A chiropractor will have your body adapt to something that you’re not used to. Most people feel uncomfortable after their first adjustments. When you keep getting adjusted, your body will get used to it. AND MUCH MORE!

Avoid highly processed sugars, the leading cause of liver transplants, and highly processed grains and flour. [19:10] Your Body Responds Positively to Diversity in Many Different Areas ·       The human body was made to eat all different things, be it meat or leafy vegetables, to receive a well-balanced diet. ·       The microbiome flourishes when fed different vegetable plants or called alpha diversity. ·       The better the variety you get, be it a protein, fruit, or vegetable source, the better our bodies thrive. [23:01] Movement: Simplest and Most Effective way to Have a Better Functioning Metabolism  ·       People should move their bodies daily in some way, shape, or form.  ·       There is a direct correlation between the time we spend seated and the incidence of all chronic diseases. ·       Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, gets released with exercise that increases our mental capacity, creativity, and memory. ·       Resistance training significantly impacts working against Age-Dependent Sarcopenia or losing muscles as people grow older. Muscle mass is needed to prevent chronic diseases and for a faster metabolism. [29:05] Optimize Your Sleep. Reset Your Hormones with a Good Night's Sleep ·       The glymphatic system is the system of the brain responsible for flushing out toxins through sleeping or autophagy.  ·  The first few minutes of the morning and some natural sunlight are important to get a good night's sleep.   ·       Do not eat 3 hours before bed, stay away from any devices 2 hours before bed, and have a consistent bedtime. ·       Getting a good night's sleep resets a person's hormones.  [34:41] Get Your Gut Healthy and Optimize the Stress in Your Life Having a healthy gut allows you to optimize your diet while taking care of all the other things. You're optimizing both your movement and your sleeping pattern. ·       According to a 2012 study, the first finding is the people that had very high stress; some of them had an increased risk of dying and comorbidities, while a subset of the group had some protective effect from stress. ·       The practice of breathing and exercise can change a person's physiology.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Steven Gundry. He is a cum laude graduate of Yale University with special honors in Human Biological and Social Evolution. After graduating Alpha Omega Alpha from the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine, Dr. Steven Gundry completed residencies in General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery at the University of Michigan and served as a Clinical Associate at the National Institutes of Health for years. There, he invented devices that reverse the cell death seen in acute heart attacks; variations of these devices subsequently became the Gundry™ Retrograde Cardioplegia Cannula. It has become the world's most widely used device of its kind to protect the heart from damage during open-heart surgery.  In 2002, Dr. Gundry met someone who would change the trajectory of his career… and life. He crossed paths with an "inoperable" patient named “Big Ed”. Using a combination of dietary changes and nutraceutical supplements — Big Ed lost weight and cleared most of his arterial blockages. An obese, chronic "diet" failure himself, Dr. Gundry adapted his Yale University thesis to design a diet for himself based on evolutionary genetic coding. On this diet, he lost weight — to the tune of 70 pounds — and reversed his own ailments, such as migraines, pre-diabetic status, and arthritis. He stopped eating sugar, grains, peanuts and cashews, nightshades and other lectin-heavy foods. Having experienced weight loss and the results of eating a lectin-free and gluten-free diet himself, and inspired by growing research involving the NIH’s Human Microbiome Project, his commitment to better health and longevity through a better diet solidified. His work creating nutraceutical products and supplements advanced. He is now the leading expert on the lectin-free lifestyle as the key to reversing disease and healing a leaky gut. Dr. Steven Gundry freely shares his research on how to maintain a healthy microbiome and live a long, vital life via his best-selling books, YouTube channel, Gundry MD blogs, and weekly health podcast, The Dr. Gundry Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Gundry defines ketosis and explains the direct benefit that ketones have on the brain. Plus, Dr. Gundry dives deep into the mitochondria and why they have to uncouple to survive. You’ll find out what the “mito club” is and why calorie restriction is a non-starter, and it simply does not work. Tune in as we chat all about MCT oil, melatonin, and the benefits of sheep and goat dairy.  Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com JOIN MY 90 DAY HEAVY METALS DETOX PROGRAM (9 SPOTS LEFT): HTTP://WWW.KETOKAMPDETOX.COM  -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

Ketone bodies are short-chain fats that are water-soluble.  Ketones have a distinct benefit in getting to the brain, which free fatty acids can't because they're too big to get through the blood-brain barrier. Ketosis should happen every night after about eight hours of not eating if you are metabolically flexible.  50% of ordinary people are not metabolically flexible.  [03:50] Uncoupling To Survive: How The Mitochondria Release Pressure  Dr. Gundry recommends reading Uncoupling To Survive: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11053672/ When you're starving to death, mitochondria have to save themselves at all costs.  If mitochondria die, then it’s all over.  Making energy is hard work; it’s very damaging to mitochondria.  Mitochondria have to have ways of protecting themselves, and one of the ways they protect themselves is to release pressure.  There are five pressure release valves for the mitochondria.  We couple oxygen and protons to make ATP. If we uncouple the burning of oxygen from making ATP, that’s how we release pressure.  [21:05] The Reason, Most People, Cannot Get Into Ketosis Right Away  Most people can not get into ketosis by following a high-fat diet because they lack metabolic flexibility.  Many people are insulin resistant. Their cells no longer listen to insulin, so insulin keeps rising and rising.  It can take three to four weeks to liberate fat from fat cells on a ketogenic diet because insulin levels stay high for so long.  The ketogenic diet came about to treat childhood epilepsy.   If you put kids on an MCT oil-based diet, with only about 50% of their calories coming from fat, they would get the same benefit as the full-blown ketogenic diet. [32:25] The “Mito Club” - How Your Body Is Just Like A Nightclub  The mito club has one entrance, and there is only one exit.  If everything works out okay, a proton and electron will couple and exit the mito club.  However, there are a lot more electrons than there are protons.  Electrons will also couple with oxygen; it’s a bad match.  The mito club needs to be cleaned up every night after closing.  [38:40] Calorie Restriction Is A Non-Starter, and It Doesn’t Work  The best way to expand lifespan and healthspan is calorie restriction.  However, calorie restriction is a non-starter, and it doesn’t work.  Calorie-restricted animals are profoundly hungry.  A study found that the animals with time-restricted eating lived 11% longer than the animals who ate the same amount of food but ate throughout the day.  This concept has been proven in humans as well. [47:05] The Major Health Benefit of Taking MCT Oil or Powder  30% of sheep and goat dairy is MCT.  MCTs are an excellent fat that goes directly to our liver, where they are automatically converted into ketones.  You can have insulin resistance, take MCTs, and generate ketones.  A tablespoon of MCT oil will have you generating adequate amounts of ketones to begin uncoupling mitochondria.  MCTs are easy to take; you can mix them in salad dressing.  Many females have issues with MCT oils and their stomachs, so start slow.

The Mediterranean diet gets melatonin from olive oil, red wine, and mushrooms.  Melatonin isn’t there to put you to sleep. Instead, it’s there to repair mitochondria.  Also, melatonin may be one of the secrets of cancer therapy.  Dr. Gundry has cancer patients on up to 100 milligrams a day of melatonin.  Check out Melatonin The Miracle Molecule: https://www.ultimatecellularreset.com/product/melatonin-the-miracle-molecule/ AND MUCH MORE!

On this episode, I explain 4 reasons why long-term keto is a bad idea. Today is the worldwide release of Keto Flex, and I dive deep into Chapter 10 which is all about keto flexing.

It will cause you to burn excess body fat and improve your overall health. But there’s one important caveat. A constant, unrelenting state of ketosis—in which your body is burning its own fat for fuel—is obviously unsustainable, because eventually you’d have no more fat. In this chapter, we move into the Flex pillar, which will allow you to maintain your Keto lifestyle month after month, year after year. Four Reasons Why Prolonged Ketosis Is Counterproductive My mantra is, “Lose the excess fat; treasure the necessary fat.” Ketosis is a brilliant strategy for accomplishing the first goal. As for the second goal, prolonged ketosis doesn’t have an automatic shut-off valve. If you remain in state of constant ketosis, burning your own fat, then your body will keep doing that as long as it must to stay alive. If necessary to preserve life, once your fat is gone, various bodily functions will be shut off or minimized. This process of shutting down will continue until Mr. Death knocks on your door and says, “Sorry, buddy—time’s up.” No one wants that. To ensure that you’re well informed, let’s review some of the bad things that can happen if you go too far with ketosis. Fat Burning Slows Down As levels of body fat drop, your primal brain, whom we thought we had trained to accept a high-fat diet and fasting, will be aroused and will begin to object. Why and when will this happen? Your primal brain, that eternal watchdog, will sense that your reserves of fat are becoming depleted. Remembering those long periods of deprivation thousands of years ago, your primal brain will sound the alarm: The fat supply is running low! It will issue the command that your body must preserve its precious fuel. In response, your body will actually slow down fat burning—all for the sake of survival! When you stay in ketosis too long, the body starts to rebel, and conserve its fuel. A good analogy is if you lived out in the woods and you had stored 500 logs of firewood to heat your cabin for the winter. These were your reserves, because you could still go out and chop more firewood. So if you had to dip into these reserves, you wouldn’t be worried. But now it’s early March, and snow still covers the ground. It’s been a tough winter and you haven’t harvested many trees, and you see that you’ve got only 50 logs left. That’s a very low supply! Suddenly you’re reluctant to use them because you don’t want to run out. When you had 500 logs, you didn’t care about burning them. The same thing happens with your body fat. This is why when you stay low carbohydrate for too long, your body will slow down fat metabolism. And you know what? This is a good thing. There is a big difference between losing excess fat and losing all your fat. You want to lose excess fat. But your body needs a small amount of fat, and your primal brain is smart to insist that you meet this minimal requirement. Thyroid Problems Hormone production is often a function of a “chain of command,” as orders are passed from one organ to another, until the desired outcome is achieved. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, which are located in the brain, help control the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your throat, just below the Adam’s apple. To provide their direction to the thyroid, the hypothalamus releases thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). When the hypothalamus and pituitary are working normally, they respond when: Thyroid hormone levels are low, so they secrete more TRH and TSH, which stimulates the thyroid to make more hormones. Thyroid hormone levels are too high, so they secrete less TRH and TSH, which reduces hormone production by the thyroid. The thyroid gland uses iodine from food to make two thyroid hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The primary secretory product is inactive thyroxine (T4), which is a prohormone of triiodothyronine (T3). T4 is converted to T3 peripherally by tissues with high blood flow, including the liver and kidneys. In the brain, T4 is converted to active T3 by type 2 deiodinase produced by glial cells. The thyroid stores T3 and T4, and releases them as they are needed. These two thyroid hormones function in almost every cell in your body, and play a fundamental role in regulating your metabolism and maintaining your resting energy expenditure—that is, the energy you burn just to keep functioning while sitting on the sofa. Diet can influence thyroid hormone levels, and prolonged ketosis and severe calorie restriction can lead to reduced thyroid function, or hypothyroidism, which is a mechanism to ensure survival in response to perceived famine. The goal is to slow metabolism, preserve energy, and preserve vital organs. T4 is the inactive form of thyroid, it needs to be converted to T3 which is the active form used by the cells. Do you know which hormone helps with this conversion? Insulin. Low thyroid hormones cause a drop in levels of insulin, the hormone needed to transport sugar from the blood to different cells throughout the body. Chronic low insulin levels slow down cellular function, including muscle contractions and basic brain function. Over longer periods of time, low insulin levels compromise this T4 to T3 thyroid hormone conversion. Testosterone Deficiency Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein made by your liver. It binds tightly to three sex hormones found in both men and women—estrogen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and testosterone. SHBG carries these three hormones throughout your blood. SHBG controls the amount of testosterone that your body tissues can use. Too little testosterone in men and too much testosterone in women can cause problems. Factors such as sex, age, obesity, liver disease, and hypothyroidism can change the level of SHBG in your blood. Hypothyroidism is when your thyroid produces an insufficient amount of thyroid hormones, which can happen with prolonged ketosis. What I’ve seen reviewing lab work over the years is too much SHBG leads to lower testosterone levels, and not enough SHBG leads to an increase in estrogen; both can be problematic for men and women. Long term ketosis can lead to either of these. Leptin Reset Leptin is your “stop eating!” hormone that plays an instrumental role in your hunger and weight management. It comes from the Greek word ”leptos,” meaning “thin.” Fat cells produce leptin in proportion to levels of body fat: the more fat cells you have, the more leptin they make. When your body fat increases, your leptin levels go up. Your brain senses the increase in leptin, and thinks, “Okay, we’ve got enough fat in reserve, so we can stop eating.” Thus, you eat less and burn more. Conversely, when you don’t eat, your body fat decreases, leading your leptin levels to drop. Your brain, sensing a shortage of leptin, thinks, “Hmm, we’re low on fat reserves. Better find some food!” At that point, you eat more and burn less. This negative feedback loop is similar to the control mechanisms for many physiological functions, such as body temperature, breathing, and blood pressure. A properly working leptin system tells your brain that you have enough energy stored in your fat cells to engage in normal, everyday metabolic processes. It leads to better brain function, memory, metabolic performance, mental sharpness, and coordination, and it can even affect the regulation of mood and emotion. This is wonderful—except that many overweight people suffer from leptin resistance. They have plenty of blood leptin, but the brain doesn’t recognize it. Despite the abundance of leptin, the brain thinks there is too little leptin—and orders the body to keep eating! This is obviously a bad situation. What can cause it? Several potential mechanisms behind leptin resistance have been identified. Free fatty acids. Having elevated free fatty acids in your bloodstream may increase fat metabolites in your brain, and interfere with leptin signaling. Inflammation. Inflammatory signaling in your hypothalamus could be a cause of leptin resistance. Having consistently high leptin. It may be that your brain gets accustomed to a constant flood of leptin churned out by your fat cells, and becomes “numb” to it. So, what happens when you follow a low-carb keto diet that puts you in long-term ketosis? Perhaps paradoxically, many people do not suffer from an increase in appetite, as you might expect from falling levels of leptin. It’s complicated, but the short version of the story is that leptin levels will drop, which would normally signal your brain to start eating. But something else happens—your brain becomes more sensitive to the effects of leptin, so a smaller amount of leptin packs more punch. In addition, the brain’s response to leptin is inhibited by inflammation, resulting in increased leptin resistance. Obesity increases inflammation, which increase the brain’s “numbness” to high levels of leptin. Inflammation is dramatically reduced by sustained nutritional ketosis. The reduction in leptin resistance due to reduced inflammation adds to the brain’s heightened sensitivity to leptin. In other words, on a well-formulated ketogenic diet the brain perceives a greater satiety response to less leptin. This explains the paradox as to why we see a decrease in appetite with nutritional ketosis. In order to achieve a sustained state of ketosis, you need to occasionally boost your levels of leptin and send the signal to your brain that higher levels of leptin are normal, and that you need to keep eating. This is another reason why the “flex” part of Keto Flex Lifestyle is so important. We never want your brain to think you’re starving—but we also don’t want it to forget about eating!

Today, I am blessed to have Daniel Eisenman join the show. He graduated Pre-Med from Emory University with a BS (Key Acronym) in Biology and even took the MCAT in 2007. Before applying to medical school to stay on the path of "NORMAL" as people advised him, he decided to "take a year off." That year off has now turned into a decade of BREAKING NORMAL while getting paid to the do the things he would pay to do, including visiting all 50 states and around 20 countries.  Daniel travels the world as a keynote speaker and facilitator of radical retreats and workshops (though he likes to call them playshops, as what's more pure than play?) based on the principles of raw honesty and emotional freedom. Daniel shows you a process of self-acceptance through self-expression by guiding you to lose your mind in order to connect to your heart while truly living inside-out. He lives in San Diego, California with his wife, Diana, their beautiful daughter, Divina, and their amazing dog, Oriah. In this episode, Daniel Eisenman reveals the inspiration behind his Breaking Normal empire. Plus, we chat about his Tribe Vitamins and why you need to start microdosing on these liver supplements. Bison and elk liver are some of the most nutrient-dense foods, and you will see a significant difference after taking them. Also, we have a massive discussion about people’s mindset regarding health habits, masks, and vaccines. Sadly, too many people are living based on fear. It’s time that we look at science and finally take back our freedom again. Tune in as we chat about the benefits of the sun, where it typically does not shine.

For most people, if they go from the standard American diet to a raw vegan diet, they will lose a pound a day. Eventually, Daniel and his brothers become raw vegan icons. However, the diet stopped working. Unfortunately, Daniel’s testosterone was so low that the doctor was ready to prescribe testosterone right there and then. Instead, Daniel ate a piece of salmon and woke up with morning wood for the first time in a long time. Now, Daniel has a podcast called Breaking Normal. People have unconsciously given each other spells of self-sabotage, co-creating mass hypnosis – without even knowing it. Daniel is working on breaking normal! [06:25] Break Free of Health Patterns That Are No Longer Serving You People will give up their identity for one way of being. Sadly, when that being is no longer serving them, they don’t take the time to find something different. Unfortunately, the path that someone finds themselves on can be the path they lose themselves on. It takes courage to swallow the pill of truth and find the path that will work for you. There's no single culture in the history of this world that stuck with the same diet long-term. In history, there were periods of time when people were vegan, raw vegan, keto, carnivore, but they adapted and changed. True health comes when you reach metabolic freedom and flexibility. Keto is a tool on your journey, but it’s not the only tool. The only thing that's important is your true health. [11:10] The Reasons Why You Should Start Taking Bison Liver Bison is America’s national animal – it’s the biggest indigenous animal that still naturally lives here. Sadly, there are only a few pioneers left in the bison industry. Not many people are raising 100% grass-finished bison. Daniel is basically buying all their liver, and he freeze-dries it. Then, he encapsulates it so people can microdose on that liver on a daily basis. The liver is nature's most potent multivitamin. The supplements work! People that take them seem to have more stamina and energy. Whereas some people even have miraculous testimonies. Bison liver is chock full of heme iron, which is easily absorbed in the body. Use code “ketokamp” at Tribe Vitamins: https://www.tribevitamins.com/ [18:40] Uh Oh! Why Grain-Fed Bison Is A Problem Grain-fed meat is causing a fattening inflammation response. It causes a very similar response to when humans eat too much grain. Plus, bison need a lot of land to run on. Sadly, people try to get away with having them on less land. Farmers are trying to mess up the bison industry like they messed up the cattle industry. Let's not treat bison like cows, and let's stop treating humans like cows! [20:30] Yummy - You Should Also Consider Taking Elk Liver Elk is one of the most unique, resilient, big, beautiful animals that roamed these lands. Luckily, Daniel found people in Texas who are harvesting wild elk. Daniel buys all their livers and does the same thing he does with the bison livers. Yes, there is a massive difference between the two livers. Bison is more powerful, whereas elk is more agile.

Daniel likes to teach people about breaking the addiction to approval and getting addicted to authenticity instead. So, Breaking Normal is all about these lessons that Daniel taught people for a decade! Check out Breaking Normal: http://breakingnormal.com. [36:00] It's Time To Make An Educated Decision About Masking & Find Freedom People are finally waking up to the ridiculous rules that society has made about masks. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself first and then make a decision. Sadly, people are making their decisions based on fear from the politicians, mainstream media, and their Facebook feed. Instead, we need to take a stand for freedom! If you read the science, you’ll see that masks are ineffective. [45:45] Get Sunshine All Over Your Body (Even Where It Doesn’t Shine) Sun and water are the basics for humans. Daniel loves to polar plunge. Plus, he loves to get sun where it typically does not shine. The Bible explains that people should be naked and free. The first sign of shame is hiding. When he can, Daniel gets his balls and his butthole in the sun. Plus, don’t forget the feet and the throat! Overall, the sun is healing. AND MUCH MORE!

[3:01] Overcoming Fear Through Faith: Doing What Is Right in the Face of Adversity  -       The people in power called Joel a direct threat even without proving anything because he chose not to get vaccinated. -       The vaccine doesn’t stop transmission; based on a study, people with the product have more viral load than those without. -       Joel was okay with letting go of his job because he believed he was being protected and promoted to do other things by the higher power and the universal being. -       Fear is contagious. But so is courage. And when people that are courageous bond together, amazing things happen. [15:44] Joel’s Journey on How He Was Able To Share The Truth in TV Stations  -       In the beginning, nobody wanted to cover Joel’s story. -       There are some criminal things done by the SF Police Department. They broke some laws to silence people such as Joel. -       Joel took massive hard work and effort to be at Fox News. -       You can be the catalyst for a movement, to stand for what is right, not what is easy.  [20:12] Ignite: What Are The Important Principles About Mindset?  -       The biggest challenge people now have is their mindset, not exercise. -       Stop trying to change the outside world. You got to change yourself, the inner you. Once you change that, then everything else changes. -       Limiting beliefs and emotional issues halt your growth. If you can remove many of those blockages, you will succeed. -       The world has given you everything you need, just get out of its way and stop interfering with it. You're creating the interference, not how you think of it. -       You don't know where you're going if you're not committed and don't understand your Northstar and what you want to do in life.  [33:27] Intentionality and Consistency: Learn This To Be Fit And Healthy  -       It’s not true that you got to tear the muscle to regrow it and gain muscles. -       Science shows that you need to create a stimulus enough to create a deficit so that the brain sees a deficit and that gaining more nutrients and muscle is needed. -       It's not tearing the muscle; it's creating the stimulus. The body needs to recognize that it needs to build muscle. -       By doing this workout style, you can repeatedly hit the same muscle group in a week and not feel sore. -       This style of workout is not just effective but also time-efficient.  [41:36] Sugar Cravings and Why It Is Connected To Neurotransmitters  -       Chemicals and flavouring experts are used in foods to deceive our brains into eating, and we now have an obesity issue. -       When we have cravings, it's being stimulated through the dopamine pathway. -       If you can shower the body with this liking or opioid pathway, it can blunt the dopamine pathway. -       You can eat a minimum of high-quality chocolate to activate the liking pathway and lose the foods that trigger your cravings. [48:09] Why Detoxing is Important To Your Body, Especially In This Toxic World? -       Detoxing produces good results, which is enough for you to do it. -       People are suffering from these toxic waterways. -       Some say detox is ineffective, not knowing they do not do proper detoxing. -       Detoxing is not about weight loss. This is about getting you healthy. And a healthy body can't be overweight. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a second time, Dr. Nasha Winters. She has been on a personal journey with cancer for the last 27 years. Her quest to save her own life has transformed into a mission to support others on a similar journey. Dr. Nasha travels the world to explore integrative cancer clinics, vet cancer protocols for research projects, speak at conferences, and meet with colleagues to help them apply metabolic approaches with their patients. Dr. Nasha offers doctor-to-doctor consultations and intensive mentorships for clinicians who want to more deeply understand metabolic and integrative approaches to cancer. In this episode, Dr. Nasha goes into depth about the processes happening to your cells and your body during cancer. She advises us on how to process the loss of someone you love, all the way to sharing her favorite inflammatory markers. In between, Dr. Nasha explains how we can expand our lifespan by taking care of our mitochondria and the importance of fasting and ketosis during radiation therapy. Dr. Nasha also speaks about different cancer theories in the medical field and why she finds one more hopeful than the other.

Even though we intellectually understand death, it's definitely still very painful. At 19, Dr. Nasha met her own diagnosis. It took a long time for Dr. Nasha to really come to terms with understanding death and dying. However, It's not something we're taught in our culture. Yet when you work with chronically ill people with cancer, you're going to see it, and you're going to see it often. Nasha learned to understand that death and dying look exactly the same. They're just an unbelievable passing through a particular threshold; they are not as scary and ugly as we've made them out to be in our world. Death is a powerful threshold; it is a very normal process of life. [09:40] What We Can Do To Extend Our Lifespan Our fountain of youth resides in the health and wealth of our mitochondria. Nasha explains that, unfortunately, new beings are entering this planet with their mitochondria already somewhat polluted and damaged. Then, the longer you are on this planet, and the more you neglect your health, the more damage you do to your mitochondria as well. These mitochondrial conditions make you age faster and be more susceptible to chronic illness processes. Nasha emphasizes that preventative care is key to heading off these conditions and extending our lifespan. There are many easy ways to access what is actually happening in your body, and as a culture, we need to start caring about not just feeling fine but being optimally healthy. Whether people like it or not, this "optimal health" is heavily influenced not only by physical factors, but by our life experiences, emotional intelligence, resilience to stressors, and other important mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our life. [21:12] Metabolic vs. Somatic Theories of Cancer Explained By Dr. Nasha Somatic theory is the concept that our DNA accumulates damages to its structure over time and then sets off a path to a cancering process. This theory supports the idea that cancer is a “bad luck game” and you’re just either going to get it or you’re not. Nasha does not subscribe to this thought process. It creates the idea that you are powerless, and powerlessness is an incredible toxin. Metabolic theory instead conceptualizes that we can see where the cancer cells stem from and that we can make a difference. From our thoughts to our food, to the water we drink and the air we breathe, everything around us affects our mitochondria. Our mitochondria are the “genome protectors;” the key to warding off cancerous cells. So keeping them healthy is crucial. This is where Dr. Nasha sees hope in the vision of cancer, that we can make a difference. [28:12] What Is Affecting Cancerous Cell Replication + What You Can Do About It Once an unhealthy cell switches its fuel source to sugar and starts replicating, it will just keep replicating. Our ability to break to kill off those damaged, dysfunctional or rogue cells is under the complete guidance of our mitochondria. So if our mitochondria are unhealthy, damaged, or inefficient, they cannot stop the attacks. But if you get your body fat down and build up your muscle, you actually start to increase your storage and effectiveness, and efficiency of your mitochondria. Nasha has found that she can help patients take the mitochondria they have and strengthen them through powerful tools like intermittent fasting, cryotherapy, and more. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry can’t get rich off these tools, so they push it to the back. All while we keep trying to find the pharmaceutical answer to the ancient wisdom that's been available to us all along. [37:47] The Importance of Metabolic Flexibility Nasha has found that the vast majority of her patients are not very metabolically flexible. Most people in their normal lives tend to eat something every 2 to 3 hours and also like to indulge in a little snack or sweet treat between dinner and bed. However, learning to fast can be extremely important. In a 1909 study, it was found that simply fasting cytotoxically reduced the size of a tumor. So, if you take fasting and pair it with chemo, you get a synergy, like a double whammy. All while protecting those healthy mitochondria from the damaging effects of that chemo or that radiation. Yet, most oncologists still aren't full-heartedly supporting their patients fasting during chemo. [46:23] How Exogenous Ketones Help During Radiation Nasha emphasizes that just taking exogenous ketones will never be as good as doing ketogenesis the old fashion way. However, exogenous ketones can help to give a running start to people who are new to low carb or need to get primed for a particular chemotherapy. They also help reduce the withdrawal from carbs that most patients feel at first, giving your psychology time to catch up with your physiology. Exogenous ketones can even pack an extra punch for folks who are already fat-adapted during radiation to protect the healthy tissues. This is also important for patients that have brain tumors, for instance, because the steroids they might be taking make it almost impossible to get into therapeutic ketosis. Another great way to get into ketosis is a three-day water fast. Those doing this around their chemo find exogenous ketones keep them feeling pretty good. [50:18] What Level of Ketones Are Optimal For Radiation + Therapeutic Ketosis Ideally, Dr. Nasha wants them in therapeutic ketosis, which is above three on the Keto-Mojo. For people to get into a level of three and higher, you have to be very metabolically flexible and/or taking exogenous ketones. What gets someone to a certain level of ketones is unique to the person. Not only are bodies unique on their own, but all the stress and different medications can make it even harder to get into ketosis during cancer treatment. The point being, don't beat yourself up if it is harder for you to get into ketosis than someone else. [53:40] Dr. Nasha’s Favorite Inflammatory Markers Nasha’s trifecta: C Reactive Protein (CRP), Sedimentation Rate (ESR), and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) CRP is prognostic for many things. If you have an elevated CRP at the time of your breast cancer diagnosis or colorectal cancer diagnosis, you have a poor prognosis. Sedimentation rate tells you how fast your blood cells fall out of plasma. If the cells fall out fast, that is good; you want flow in your blood. If they fall out slow, your blood is more gelatinous and also means you have more inflammation in your tissues. LDH is the most important test for your metabolic health. If your LDH is high, your mitochondria are off. When using this trifecta as a collective, they are more sensitive and specific than any other cancer marker Dr. Nasha has seen. AND MUCH MORE!

You'll learn how one meal a day can help, also called omad diet weight loss. The benefits of fasting go beyond weight loss. With a 24 hour fast, MIT research shows you can reboot your digestive system with stem cells. According to research from MIT biologists, this age-related loss of stem cell function can be reversed by a 24-hour fast. The researchers found that fasting dramatically improves stem cells’ ability to regenerate, in both aged and young mice. “Fasting has many effects in the intestine, which include boosting regeneration as well as potential uses in any type of ailment that impinges on the intestine, such as infections or cancers,” said Omer Yilmaz, an MIT assistant professor of biology, a member of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, and one of the senior authors of the study.

Today, I am blessed to have Kristina Hess with me for the third time! Kristina is a premier health coach and licensed dietitian/nutritionist who works with clients to support them in making lifestyle changes that produce real and lasting results. Keto Symposium: https://www.ketosymposium.com/ (use code: BEN10)  Kristina has a master’s degree in clinical nutrition and Integrative Health from MUIH - Maryland University for Integrative Health and several certifications in areas ranging from Mindful Eating, Heartmath, to Ericksonian Hypnosis to Sports Nutrition. Kristina received her health coach certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Kristina's integrative and functional approach is an arm within the Functional Medicine model of the IFM. Functional Medicine views us all as being different, genetically and biochemically unique. A functional approach is deeply science-based and views everything that happens within us as a connected network or web of relationships. Kristina's private practice in Connecticut is called Thrive Results Coaching. In this episode, Kristina joins the show to talk about the Keto Symposium - the first keto conference and expo in New York City. Then, Kristina dives into genes and how having genetic nutrition testing done can impact your lifestyle decisions. Kristina reveals her top three favorite keto diets and explains which is best for you, depending on your genetic makeup. Tune in as we chat about counting calories, time-restricted feeding, and the importance of experimenting with your lifestyle and diet.  Register for my upcoming 90 day detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com (3 SPOTS LEFT!) / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

If you are not getting the desired results, you may want to test your genes.  When you know what genes you have, you can empower what you are doing in your lifestyle.  [15:55] Time-Restricted Eating: Try Reducing Your Feeding Window For Weight Loss Results  You should be done eating by 7 pm each night. The earlier you eat, the more insulin sensitive you become, the better your metabolic health markers, and the more weight you lose.  If you struggle to lose weight, try eating breakfast and cutting your feeding window at 3 pm.  When you are stuck, pivoting your mealtime will be essential to get the desired results.  [30:20] The Top Three Keto Meal Plans That Can Work For You  Kristina recommends a Mediterranean-style keto diet with a focus on fish, olive oil, and lean protein, with some sheep and goat dairy.  The Mediterranean-style diet works best for people who have APOE variants.  Another keto diet that works well is paleo.  The paleo diet includes red meat, no dairy, a lot of eggs, bacon, squash, and sweet potatoes.  Lastly, a carnivore diet can work for you. This diet includes a lot of fatty protein!  [34:40] What You Need To Know About Genetic Nutrition Testing  The test is $360. Your kit will come to your house, and you will provide a sample of saliva. Then, mail the kit back, and you will have results in about a month.  Unfortunately, knowing what to do with the report is challenging once you have it. Luckily, Kristina will have a consult with you about your results!  Check out Kristina’s website to learn more: https://theketonutritionist.com/ [36:40] Is Counting Calories Good For Weight Loss?  Weight loss is not as simple as counting calories. For instance, your sleep will affect your caloric expenditure.  Also, gut health and mitochondrial health will change your caloric expenditure. The body is complex, beautiful, and intricate - counting calories doesn’t take that into consideration.  The most important thing to remember is to eat real foods instead of processed foods.  [43:00] Many People Don’t Even Know That They Are In Ketosis  Many very lean people out there are inadvertently in ketosis and then just have no idea. Lean people will bash the keto lifestyle without knowing whether they are in ketosis or not. If you struggle with your weight, then you need to work on getting into ketosis because your body is not naturally gravitating there.  Remember, keto is not a high-fat diet; keto is a metabolic process.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out The Keto Nutritionist: https://theketonutritionist.com Keto Symposium: https://www.ketosymposium.com/ (use code: BEN10)  Follow Kristina Hess Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinahessketonutritionist/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinahessketonutritionist/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristina-hess-cns-ldn-chc-15a1984/ Keto Kamp 104: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kristina-hess-ms-uncommon-benefits-of-ketones-the/id1470779784?i=1000465314376 Keto Kamp 305: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kristina-hess-health-complications-from-insulin-resistance/id1470779784?i=1000534204433 Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Register for my upcoming 90 day detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

Take a moment to tune into your symptoms.  Next, ask what the purpose of that symptom is. If you can be still enough, you will be able to trust intuition, make decisions, and bring joy into your life.  [11:00] Turn Your Light On and Wake Up To The Truth of Who You Are Turn Your Light On: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B2WY42Z8/benazadi-20 There are different stages of turning your light on. At stage one, your light is turned off. If you can’t turn on the light, you will stay stuck.  The most important work we have is to uncover and understand the messages of our souls. [14:55] An Easy Exercise To Develop Your Intuition - Try It Today!  Go out of the house and be around people. Have your feet hip distance apart and focus on a stranger you don’t know. Within five seconds, your body will tell you whether that person is for you or not.  If Deidre’s intuition tells her to do something, she does it.  When your body starts to move forward towards a person, there is something about that person that will be beneficial to you. While on the other hand, if your body moves back, that person is not good for you.  [20:50] Examine Your Thoughts: Changing Your Story Can Change Your Life  One of the fastest ways to uncover our belief system is to look at our results.  Think about the belief system that you have and the belief system that you want. Then, start telling the story that will lead to your desired belief system. It’s simple, and it works!  The most important conversation you will have all day is the one you have with yourself.  [32:50] End The War Within Yourself: Find Your People and Find Your Environment Understand that sometimes things don’t feel good. If something doesn’t feel good, your body tries to tell you in various ways. Allow yourself to find your people and your environment.  When you end the war within yourself, the war outside of us ends in all our relationships. Then, you can work together rather than judging each other.   [38:30] Focus on The Joy So Pain Will Naturally Fall Away What story are you telling yourself? Are you telling yourself that you are sick?  It’s time to change your story and change your life. If you wake up daily and struggle with chronic pain, you may talk about the pain.  However, find the courage to move through it and change your story. Do the hard things; there are gifts on the other side.  Think about who you want to be and how you want to feel.  AND MUCH MORE!

She felt sad and depressed as a stay-at-home mom.  Tara started weightlifting because the gym by her house only had weights and treadmills.  After lifting weights for eight months, Tara looked exactly the same. So, she decided to switch her nutrition – she went from 40% body fat to 11% body fat.  Then, Tara found keto. She felt healthy in both her mind and her body.  [11:20] The Discomfort That You Have To Go Through Is Temporary The life of your dreams is a life of alignment with yourself and your authentic self. Exercising and diet is a temporary stressor.  You aren’t going to be stressed forever.  The actions required for you to gain muscle is going to suck. However, your body is excellent at retaining muscle. So, the discomfort is temporary.  How you see yourself matters way more than how everyone else sees you.  [17:30] Why You Need To Align With Your Truth Most people know that they need to stop exercising and sleep more. If you have hypothyroidism, you're super inflamed, your CRP is off the charts, and you're exhausted, then yes, you need to sleep more! Training is inflammatory, and if you’re already inflamed, there will be problems.  You already know what you need to do; listen to your body. Trust your feelings.  [21:15] Why You Don’t Want To Be In Ketosis For Your Entire Life If you love being in ketosis, you can stay in it for as long as you want.  If keto doesn’t feel as good as it used to, then you may want to switch things up.  Keto impacts our neurotransmitters and our mental health. When you eat a diet that is mostly fat and protein, your body will favor dopamine production.  When you eat a diet that's mostly carbs and protein, you will favor serotonin production.  If you're not eating carbs, you're not going to favor serotonin production as much.  One of the reasons you should carb cycle is to improve your emotions and mood.  [31:20] Guess What? Insulin Isn’t The Enemy!  If you don’t have high blood sugar, then insulin isn’t the enemy. Insulin is an energy shuttling hormone. It takes glucose and places it in our bodies.  We can store anywhere from 350 up to 800 grams of carbohydrates in our liver and muscles.  Athletes can eat a lot of carbohydrates and not be obese because of the energy they are using.  If you aren’t exercising, your body will store carbohydrates as fat storage.  [36:00] Tara Always Trains When She Is Fasted – Here’s Why Tara always trains fasted; it’s great for your metabolism. If you are healthy, you should be able to train fasted in the morning. If you can’t train fasted, then you have some work to do with your blood sugar regulation.  Tara will thrive off of adrenaline during a fasted workout. Eating will bring your adrenaline down.  [39:20] Adrenals and Salt: The Importance of Sodium On Keto If you don't have enough salt on keto, your kidneys will excrete aldosterone, and then you'll start to have high adrenaline and high cortisol long-term. Rushing women syndrome is a hallmark of adrenal stress.  If you’re not okay with sitting still and being calm, then you have adrenal stress.  Also, if you feel overwhelmed, then you have adrenal fatigue.  So, make sure to monitor your salt intake.  [43:55] Are You Scared of Carbs? How To Address Carbophobia  We have to foster a healthy mindset around the fact that you're not eating carbs when you're doing keto. Carbs are not going to kill you.  China has an obesity rate of 5 to 6%, they eat more rice than any other country in the world.  In America, we have a 42.4% obesity rate. It’s not just carbs that are making you fat.  Carbohydrates are not inherently bad for us. It’s what happened to our metabolism from sitting all day, overconsumption, and processed foods.  [50:20] When You Should Start Implementing Carbohydrates   During keto, if you don’t feel that great anymore, it’s time to start eating carbs again.  If you’re working out more, you can start using carbohydrates to fuel your body and workouts.  If you’re not sleeping well and have diarrhea, you should introduce carbohydrates again. Being moody is also a sign that you need to add carbohydrates.  AND MUCH MORE!
