Miriam Kalamian’s son was diagnosed with a brain tumor that was progressively getting worse and not responding well to treatment. Determined to exhaust all of her options, she dove headfirst into treatments she could use to complement the standard one given. Her research led her to using keto for cancer.

Eventually, she persisted, did extensive research, and figured out how to use keto therapeutically. And her efforts paid off big time since she saw incredible results in her son’s condition. Miriam dives into the science behind why keto works (and when it doesn’t), what fuels cancer, and the exact steps to take if you’ve been diagnosed. She also shares her tip for what to focus on if you’re healthy, how to use fasting to reduce chemo side effects, and other therapies.

| 17 Aug 2020 | 107: Josh Clemente - Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Why Everyone Should Be Tracking This Important Metric | 00:57:17 | |
As you’ll hear about in this episode, roughly 90 million Americans are unknowingly living in a prediabetic state and up to 70% of them will end up being diabetic if they don’t address it starting today. That’s why Josh Clemente, a founding partner at Levels Health, and his team are actively working to change that outcome by offering a continuous glucose monitor that is accessible even if you don’t have diagnosed blood sugar issues. Because, as Josh explains, testing your fasting blood glucose and A1C level once a year aren’t enough to show you the true picture. Instead, continuous glucose monitoring and making this something that most people start tracking -- just like you would with your steps or sleep -- long before any blood sugar issues surface is the answer to solving this issue. Doing so has incredible results both in the short and long term which is why it’s so effective. And that’s exactly what you’ll hear more about in this episode. Josh and Dr. Anthony Gustin dive into why more people should be tracking their blood sugar using a CGM even if they don’t have diagnosed issues, the incredible information you can gather from doing this, and the powerful benefits that surface as a result of tracking. Josh Clemente is a former SpaceX Lead Life Support Systems Engineer, a CrossFit L2 Trainer, a Senior Engineer at Hyperloop One and he’s part of the founding team at Levels Health, which aims to bring continuous glucose monitoring to the masses. Tune in now to see why this is one area of your health that you can’t afford to skip and the benefits you’ll see when you start tracking. | |||

| 11 Jun 2018 | 023: Nora Gedgaudas - Getting The Right Nutrients To Thrive, Increasing Food Quality, and How We Evolved To Eat | 01:10:19 | |
Just like a calorie isn't simply a calorie, a nutrient isn't just a nutrient.

Choosing anything less than the highest-quality, most nutrient-dense foods can lead to excess weight, higher risk of metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, lower energy, and worsened cognitive function. That's why today I sat down with board-certified nutritional consultant and primal eating expert Nora Gedgaudas to talk all about nutrients. Nora is also a board-certified neuro-feedback specialist, best-selling author, speaker, teacher, and researcher with over 20 years of clinical experience. In this episode, she breaks down which nutrients we need the most and how to get them from our diet, while dispelling common nutrition myths. | |||

| 28 May 2018 | 021: Steph Lowe - Supercharging Your Athletic Performance With a Ketogenic Diet | 00:48:39 | |
Whether you're a competitive endurance athlete, biker, CrossFitter, or barely entering the fitness world, you've probably heard that the best way to fuel your body and speed up recovery is by loading up on carbs. You may have also been told that the source of those carbs doesn't matter, so you can indulge in pasta all you want. When Steph Lowe was doing long-cross triathlon a few years ago, she was told the same thing, but she refused to go with the flow. She believed there had to be a better way to increase performance and endurance without relying on sugar and processed foods. And she was right. After her own experience as an athlete, Steph Lowe became a sports nutritionist and founded The Natural Nutritionist, where she uses a LCHF ketogenic diet to help other athletes improve not only their performance, but also their blood sugar, metabolism, gut health, mental well-being, and much more. In this episode, she breaks down why athletes are harming their performance by relying on carbs, and how to make the switch to a ketogenic diet for better results. | |||
