Today, I am blessed to have here with me Bitten Johnson. It has been 27 years since Bitten started her journey into food addiction, which she now calls “Sugar Addiction.” Over the years Bitten has had the good fortune to collaborate with many professionals and treat thousands of people worldwide. Through these collaborations, Bitten have developed a deep understanding of the brain disease addiction and she has developed a unique treatment method called Holistic Addiction Medicine. Bitten has trained many professionals in her native country and now it is time to bring Holistic Medicine for Addiction (HMA) to you. All addiction begins in the brain, regardless of the drug, so Bitten works with ASAM's definition of Addiction Interaction Disorder which aims to correct the dysfunctions of the brain's circuitry. The word addiction comes from the Latin word “addicere” which means being a slave to something. Addictions are powerful and lead to hundreds of deaths every day. Bitten is a registered nurse, addiction specialist and ADDIS®/SUGAR® authorized (addiction screening, assessment and diagnostic tools) and currently offer courses and training for professionals. Today there are many very skilled counselors all over the world to whom Bitten refers any clients that contact her. Bitten's mission is to bring knowledge and experience to others so that more people are able to diagnose and treat this fatal disease, addiction, in order to free people from this painful illness and to decrease shame and stigma. In this episode, Bitten talks about becoming an expert on sugar addiction. Once you realize that addiction is something going on in your brain, you can start to heal. Bitten explains how you can tell the difference between someone who is an addict and someone who is a harmful user. Later, we talk about how sugar addicts can start the keto diet and whether or not you need to stay away from natural sweeteners. Tune in as Bitten explains why an “LSD” trip can be a fantastic tool on your journey to health.

In nursing school, Bitten learned that you suppress your appetite if you smoke. So that's why she started smoking. Then, Bitten became an alcoholic. Addiction is about the brain and how your brain reacts to substances. At age 33, Bitten fell in love with addiction medicine. Bitten knew that she was using ice cream and chocolate the same way she would use alcohol.   [13:00] Addiction Is All About What Is Happening In Your Brain You can be addicted to something with just small amounts. Addiction is all about what is going on in your brain. You don't have to eat a lot or drink a lot to be an addict. As time goes on, you will increase how much you are drinking or eating. Each drug that comes into your life, you become addicted to faster and faster.   [15:10] How To Identify Whether or Not Your Addiction Is Real There's a difference between harmful use and addiction. You need to figure out which one you have because there will be different treatments. Harmful users are emotional eaters. They eat when they are sad, happy, stressed, etc. There are all kinds of reasons why people will overeat. Ask a harmful user, “why?” There will be an answer. You can't ask “why” to addict because it's a primary illness; it doesn't have a cause. Instead, you need to ask addicts how you can help them. Some problems that addiction will cause: Eating alone Poor economy Poor health Poor relationships Mood swings Loss of energy   [28:45] How To Start Living a Ketogenic Lifestyle if You're An Addict The keto diet is the best diet for broken brains and for addicts. You will need tremendous support going from junk foods to keto foods. Screen yourself for sugar addiction on Bitten's website here: https://www.bittensaddiction.com/en/addiction/sugar-addiction/ Remember, addiction is a serious brain illness. The more symptoms you have, the longer you've had it, the more severe it is. So, it's critical to find support before starting the journey to keto.   [39:15] It's Not What You Think: Take An LSD Trip To Improve Your Health To increase insulin sensitivity, you have to walk a long slow distance (LSD). An LSD trip is one of Bitten's favorite tools. If you're going from junk food to keto, you need tools in your toolbelt. One great tool is LSD walks. Promise yourself that you will take long walks and eat your keto foods.   [55:35] Do Addicts Need To Stay Away From Natural Sweeteners? If you're having a hard time with sugar, natural sweeteners can be useful. However, anything sweet will be a trigger for addicts. Seeing things and smelling things are also triggers. It's not about willpower; it's all about the involuntary reaction in your brain.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Bitten Johnson's Website: https://www.bittensaddiction.com/ Follow Bitten Johnson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bittensaddiction/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BittenJonsson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bittensaddiction/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjACTQb2C2J6yRhd7dcX5rw Join the Facebook Group Sugarbomb in Your Brain: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1682784168624569/ Watch Ben on Bitten's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJcSaTpCO84 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.

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.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [00:40] Why Dr. Ifland Was Inspired to Start A Career In Processed Food Addiction Ifland had two pregnancies back-to-back. 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.

Today, I am lucky to have here with me, a specialist in Weight Management and Bariatric Surgery for adults and adolescents, Dr. Robert Cywes. He has been doing bariatric surgery for 18 years, performing over 8,000 surgeries. This is an episode that originally aired on March 2020, and it was so good we decided to re-release it here today.  Dr. Cywes' medical training began in Cape Town, South Africa, where he received his medical degree from The University of Cape Town. In 1989, Dr. Cywes moved to North America and completed a year-long residency in Pediatric Surgery at Ohio State University's Columbus Children's Hospital. After completing his pediatric surgery fellowship at the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, Dr. Cywes was appointed as an Assistant Professor of Pediatric and Fetal Surgery at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee where he did hepatic stem cell research. During this time, Dr. Cywes became increasingly interested in adolescent obesity and the impact of the liver and metabolic syndrome on young patients. Dr. Cywes' research led to a comprehensive understanding of the toxicity of chronic excessive carbohydrate consumption as the primary cause of obesity and so-called obesity-related co-morbidities, and he became interested in developing a clinical program to treat obese patients using this knowledge. Dr. Cywes relocated to Jacksonville, Florida where he joined the Department of Pediatric Surgery at the Nemours Children's Clinic and Wolfson Children's Hospital. This led to a national meeting in Jacksonville where guidelines for adolescent obesity surgery were established. Dr. Cywes established JSAPA to continue his work in both adolescent and adult obesity treatment and surgery, and in 2013 opened a practice in Palm Beach County, Florida. He now works with a highly experienced team of professionals from a variety of medical sub-specialties to better care for obese patients. He has developed the practice into an internationally recognized Center of Excellence for obesity surgery. The practice uses a cognitive behavioral therapy approach that addresses carbohydrate addiction, along with bariatric surgery, to help patients manage their obesity long term. In this episode, Dr. Cywes opens the show discussing the correlation between carbohydrates and toxic drugs. Our bodies do not need to run on sugar; our bodies prefer a keto lifestyle. Also, Dr. Cywes explains effective methods of treating diabetes and what's wrong with conventional treatments. Stay tuned, as Dr. Cywes discusses dopamine fasting, serotonin loading, and how our feedback controls for survival work.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Scott Ohlgren. He has lived his life as a self-proclaimed adventurer and trailblazer. Scott is originally from a small town in Wisconsin and, after traveling the world, spent many years in Boulder, CO. Scott and his wife currently reside in Sarasota, Florida.  Scott is the author of several books on wellness and was the developer of the drink Brain Toniq, carried primarily by the Whole Foods brand. Scott's wellness business, Synaptic Science, features the cutting-edge science of nootropics. In this episode, Scott reveals how he got started in the health space and the inspiration behind his wellness business, Synaptic Science. Scott explains the research behind cognitive-enhancing plants and how he came up with plant-based ingredients to nourish the mind. Tune in as we dive into Scott's product Cognition; it's a highly concentrated liquid brain-boosting supplement, a mix of Ayurvedic plant extracts that each has been shown to support beneficial effects on brain health, emotions, and overall mental wellness.

After traveling, Scott learned about the connection between diet and diseases. Scott went to a school where he learned all about the connections between disease and diet. He ended up writing three books on the connections. Scott loves to talk about the idea of cleansing; it's the idea of eating very clean for certain periods of time.   [16:30] The Research Behind Cognitive-Enhancing Plants Scott always hires people smarter than him. Through Brain Toniq, Scott met someone who was extremely knowledgeable in botany. He understands the power of plants in healing humanity. It took a long time to find the right ingredients for Scott's products – many iterations were too bitter for consumers. Scott started Synaptic Scientific because he's interested in feeding the system with plant-based ingredients that nourish the mind.   [23:45] What You'll Notice After Using Cognition From Synaptic Scientific What a supplement does for one person will be different for somebody else. Any cognitive boosting plant or compound will markedly improve a variety of mental functions. Ingredients that Scott includes in Cognition: Mucuna pruriens Convolvulus pluricaulis Centella asiatica Celastrus paniculatus Bacopa monnieri Ocimum sanctum Griffonia simplicifolia A-glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline You can expect to feel a sense of wellbeing when you take Cognition. Plus, these ingredients support overall brain health. Scott says that Cognition makes him sleep very well. Use code “ketokamp” here: https://synapticscientific.com/   [33:05] The Best Way You Can Use Cognition In Your Daily Life Cognition contains 1 bottle, 120ml. One serving is 2ml (about four pumps), so each bottle has 60+ servings.  Leave it at room temperature. Cognition contains MCT oil. If you put it in the fridge, then it's not going to shake well. So, leave it a room temperature and give it a shake. Use a spoon because the pump isn't that accurate. 3 – 6 ml a day is about average. For some people, 1 ml can be too much. Americans have to start putting more bitters into their diets; it is the key to liver and gallbladder health.   [38:40] How Cognition Is Nourishing The Brain Instead of Tweaking It You want to take enough Cognition so that you actually feel the difference. Sometimes, it's better to split Cognition up into two or three servings in a day. If you take enough, you'll experience the following: Increase in mental focus Loss of brain fog A sense of motivation An ability to focus An uptick in mood and a sense of wellbeing A lessening of anxiety Fewer frustrations The ability to sleep much better   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Synaptic Scientific (use code: ketokamp): https://synapticscientific.com/?ref=ba Follow Scott Ohlgren LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottohlgren/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scottohlgren Read The 28-Day Cleansing Program: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0098AD1QS/benazadi-20 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.

We talk about what happens with our skin as we age and how we can combat some of the consequences of aging. Fasting can be a great way to produce more stem cells; Dr. Killen speaks about getting a healthy balance of autophagy and mTOR. Later, Dr. Killen discusses the importance of anti-aging and reveals why you need to ditch your antiseptic mouthwash. Tune in as we dive into the role of glucose on sexual function, the importance of peptides, and the benefits of red light therapy.

People who are just more just metabolically healthier are going to have healthier stem cells. The sicker you are, the sicker your stem cells are.  Stem cells send out signals. As you age, your stem cells won't be able to send out as many signals.  Chronic inflammation will also exhaust stem cells. Three major factors contribute to chronic inflammation: Stress Lack of exercise Smoking   [03:45] What Is Happening To Our Skin As We Age Damage from the sun is going to cause spots on the skin. Some spots are also hormonal things like melasma, which you can get from hormonal changes.  The number one thing you could do for your skin is actually to protect it from the sun. Getting burnt is not good for your skin.  Regular sun exposure will cause DNA damage to the skin. Plus, it can contribute to faster aging.  Dr. Killen says to put sunscreen on your face.    [07:50] Getting A Healthy Balance of Autophagy and mTOR Through Fasting Even with a few hours of fasting, you can start to see increased stem cell production.  With longer fasts, you will have more effects systemically on stem cells.  With fasting, we see an increase in autophagy and cellular cleanup.  The best part of fasting is that it's free!   [12:15] Exercise For Anti-Aging: How Often and How Intense Should Your Workouts Be?  You need at least three or four days of heavy lifting.  Weights are really important for creating hormones like testosterone and growth hormones.  Heavy lifting exercises should be at least thirty minutes to an hour.  Plus, you should do thirty minutes of aerobic activity a day.   [13:20] Antiseptic Mouthwash Is Bad For You: Dr. Killen Explains The Problem Antiseptic mouthwash kills the bacteria in the mouth.  When there are no bacteria in your mouth, it prevents you from making nitric oxide from food.  Nitric oxide is essential for sexual health and erections. If you're using antiseptic mouthwash and you're taking an antacid, it can decrease your sexual function.    [19:00] The Role That High Glucose Levels Can Play on Your Sexual Function  Glucose will create inflammation. You want to have good blood flow to your sexual organs. If you have chronic inflammation, then you will have a lack of blood flow going to your genitalia.  Hormones like testosterone will also be affected by high sugar levels.    [23:35] Peptides: Enhancing The Body's Ability To Protect and Repair Itself Peptide is just a fancy name for a short protein. There are now hundreds of peptides out there. Most of them come from proteins that we already have in our bodies. All of us can use a little bit of extra repair and recovery; peptides are great for that.  Check out Rapid Rebound here: https://ketokamprebound.com/ Rapid Rebound is a unique formulation of BPC157, AOD, and Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) that works synergistically to enhance the body's ability to protect and repair itself so you can reach all of your performance goals.   [32:55] The Benefits of Red Light Therapy  Red light therapy will help with skin healing rejuvenation.  We can see an increase in stem cell activation with red light and near-infrared light as well. Plus, there's the mitochondrial energy production that people always talk about with red light therapy. Red light therapy can have a lot of effects on stem cell production.  Lastly, red lights feel great!    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Amy Killen's Website: https://dramykillen.com/ Get Rapid Rebound: https://ketokamprebound.com/ Email Dr. Amy Killen: amy@dramykillen.com Follow Dr. Amy Killen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.amybkillen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrAmyBKillen Twitter: https://twitter.com/dramybkillen Watch Dr. Amy Killen, Best Diet For Skin And Hair, Autophagy And Stem Cells: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=253007075850765 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.

Outside of work, Michael likes to play tennis, and hang out with his family which typically involves cooking, eating, going on walks and travel. In this episode, Michael talks about why he decided to focus on sugar addiction towards children. For the last thirty years, this has been Michael's sole focus; he speaks about what he has learned about kids and sugar throughout his many years as an expert in the field. We talk about the importance of breastfeeding and how breastfeeding for twelve months can have massive benefits to your children. Tune in as we speak about nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, why kids need to ditch added sugars, and what's really in Coca-Cola products.

Michael wanted to learn about chronic diseases and how they started in childhood.  At the end of the day, he found a lot of very interesting information about sugar and how to modify it. Michael wanted to get that information out there to the public. If someone is diabetic, that didn't happen over the past year. Instead, they have been eating a poor diet for the last ten to fifteen years.  Get Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar That Are Putting Your Child's Health at Risk and What You Can Do: https://www.amazon.com/Sugarproof-Hidden-Dangers-Putting-Childs/dp/0525541195/benazadi-20   [04:40] Options For Babies As They Get Off of Breast Milk  The food companies are doing a great job at basically hijacking the innate preferences that babies have.  Babies are actually born with a built-in preference for sweetness. It's supposed to help them seek out good-tasting foods.  Food companies know that babies and kids prefer sweetness. So that's why 80% of kids' foods have some type of added sugars.  Breast milk does have carbohydrates. Lactose is built from glucose and galactose. However, there's no fructose in natural mother's milk.  It's the introduction of fructose that starts to cause problems as well as added sugar.    [07:50] When Moms Should Start To Wean The Baby Off of Breast Milk  The recommendation is six months. However, there are studies that demonstrate the longer the duration of breastfeeding, the more likely you are to prevent obesity.  Plus, the longer you breastfeed, you will promote brain development. If a mom breastfeeds for more than twelve months, those babies are highly protected from obesity, even if they consume high amounts of sugary beverages as a toddler.   [10:55] A Calorie Isn't Always A Calorie: 90% of Fructose Is Cleared By The Liver Sucrose, which is ordinary table sugar, is what we call a disaccharide. It's a glucose molecule connected to a fructose molecule; both are identical chemically. Glucose is used everywhere in the body for energy. The liver filters out almost 90% of fructose. The liver's job is to filter things out that it doesn't want in the blood. The liver will take fructose and convert it to fat. The most common form of liver disease is nonalcoholic, and that nonalcoholic contributor is fructose.   [18:10] Recommendations For Adults and Children Who Have Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Sugar elimination can rapidly deplete the liver of its fat quite quickly. It only takes seven to eight days.  That's why Michael has a seven-day no added sugar challenge. Learn more about the challenge by getting Michael's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Sugarproof-Hidden-Dangers-Putting-Childs/dp/0525541195/benazadi-20 You should do the challenge right after the holidays. It's a great way to get fat out of the liver. Kids need to reset their bodies and taste preferences.  Weight loss is also important for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.  We get so amped up on sugar, we begin to crave it more and more. Cut it out!   [21:00] There Are Over 200 Names For Caloric Sugars  The current count is about 260 or 270.  Food companies are developing healthy-sounding names for sugar. Here are some examples: Organic brown rice syrup  Evaporated cane juice Agave nectar  Fruit juice concentrates  Some of the fruit sugars can have even more fructose and high fructose corn syrup. Gatorade is a fake healthy drink.    [23:40] What's Happening To Children When They Consume Less Sugar Kids are more intelligent if they eat less sugar. With less sugar, kids can expect to have these benefits: Perform better on academic tests Better memory Better sleep More focus   [32:15] How Much Fructose Is Really In Coca-Cola? Michael Did The Research  Michael wanted to know what was in Coca-Cola.  Products say high fructose corn syrup; we don't actually know what that is. The food industry says it's marginally more fructose than glucose in their products.   Michael went to the supermarket and got all kinds of drinks. He sent them off to the lab. About 65% of the sugars are fructose.  Michael presented this information six years ago. The food industry told him that his research was invalid. However, they couldn't prove how.  Remember, more fructose causes a lot of problems in the body.    [35:25] True or False: It's Impossible To Be Addicted To Sugar  Here are some of the criteria for addiction: Withdrawal  Side effects Difficult to give up If you look at the criteria for addiction, they stand true for sugar.  It makes no sense that qualified professional dietitians would say that sugar is not addictive.  About 40% of the Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition funding comes from big food companies.   [45:15] What's Next For Michael In 2022 Michael is wondering why certain populations have the highest rates of obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver. He wants to come up with Latino-specific strategies, protocols, and interventions. Plus, Michael is going to continue to develop more recipes for his fans.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Sugarproof Kids: https://sugarproofkids.com/ Get Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar That Are Putting Your Child's Health at Risk and What You Can Do: https://www.amazon.com/Sugarproof-Hidden-Dangers-Putting-Childs/dp/0525541195/benazadi-20 Email: Hello@SugarproofKids.com Follow Michael Goran Twitter: https://twitter.com/michaelgoran LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-goran-b5577b11/ Follow Sugarproof Kids: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sugarproofkids/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Sugarproofkids 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 Studies Referenced on the show: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2784545   https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-021-00897-0.epdf?sharing_token=Cpf2qYLFHs3x6mq_r-mVV9RgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0NJCGivURWPm-BVpJcxYiGt7OeZD6y_01Xkq8NAecHM4OZqBvVIuZ-pOHKJHLr1N5WwHnKWxr9WXepZ4DJwuXEYd8DHukHP0ev-lSu2ews755EsdjzpeDZrXr3VIsEhQ40%3D 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.

Discover how to break a weight loss plateau on keto with 7 easy to follow steps. If you've been wondering why you are not losing weight on keto, this video is for you.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Erik Levi, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. Erik Levi is a co-founder of HolisticNootropics.com and a certified holistic nutritional therapy practitioner. As an NTP Erik takes a nutrition first approach to health. He has worked with many different people to help them use nutrition to optimize their quality of life. Erik believes that mental health is a physiological process and cognitive enhancement is not something that can be achieved by just taking some pills with good Amazon reviews. Instead, true cognitive enhancement comes with the right balance of nutrients, movement, and gratitude. Erik continues to stay up to date with the most current nootropic and holistic health research and promises to deliver the best solutions possible. In this episode, Erik opens the show by revealing how we went from an aspiring comedian to a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and running a website called HolisticNootropics.com. We jump into some common supplement mistakes that people are making, including buying rancid fish oil and synthetic multivitamins. When you do find quality supplements, Erik recommends rotating them to achieve the most significant benefits. Tune in as we chat about improving the gallbladder, the liver, and Erik explains how to lower postprandial glucose.

So, he was ready to start looking for solutions.  There's a lot of wrong ways to be healthy. Lean Cuisines is the best example of this.  At one point, Erik went vegan.    “The law of veganism is you must tell everyone in your surrounding area that you're a vegan and you're better than them.” -Erik Levi As a vegan, Erik's energy was low, and his body was weak.    Eventually, Erik became a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.   [07:50] The Inspiration Behind Erik's Website, Holistic Nootropics  People are trying to be healthy, and they're very susceptible to the industry's marketing. Sadly, people are taking so many supplements that just aren't working.  Instead, Erik would recommend Biotics Research: https://www.bioticsresearch.com/ There's so much money in the supplement industry. 99% of people are not receiving the benefits of their supplements.  Erik created Holistic Nootropics to help people improve their mental and physical health.    [16:55] Why Fish Oil Is Not As Beneficial As You May Think  Fish oil is usually a rancid and toxic product. 83% of fish oil is rancid before you even purchase it.  You are better off just eating fish.  Fish oil is an unstable fat.  The last thing you want to do is buy 300 pills of fish oil from Costco. It's the bottom of the barrel and worst quality – it's doing more harm than good.    [23:50] The Problem With Synthetic Multivitamins  Most multivitamins are being made incorrectly. The body doesn't know what to do with synthetic vitamins. People who are taking these multivitamins are doing it because the rest of their diet is a disaster. If you want to dial in your health, then you need to focus on diet and lifestyle.    [28:20] Rotating Your Supplements Will Benefit Your Overall Wellness   Erik will do four days of taking supplements and three days of not taking supplements.  Plus, he will take different mushroom powders each day. Don't take supplements to get rid of them; throw them away if you don't need them.  Remember, you want to take aminos on an empty stomach. Erik will take magnesium every single day.    [33:00] All About BDNF And How We Can Use Lifestyle To Enhance Our BDNF Production BDNF is a brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It's a lifestyle phenomenon.  Exercise is the best way to get BDNF.  Daily movement and resistance training will be total game-changers. Relationships and learning new languages will be useful for BDNF production.  Overall, BDNF is a principle of life. Keep growing, learning, and challenging yourself.    [36:00] Erik's Favorite Ways And Methods To Lower Postprandial Glucose  The best thing for lowering postprandial glucose is dihydroberberine. Chromium will also work.  Plus, cinnamon and banaba leaf have been shown to have effects.  However, Erik says that you should always stack your day for success in the morning. Eat a high-protein and high-fat breakfast to keep you from having sugar highs and lows.    [40:30] Optimizing The Gallbladder and The Liver For Producing Healthier Bile Digestion is tied to sleep and the circadian rhythm. Erik highly recommends that you get a sleep tracker.  Find the Oura Ring here: https://ouraring.com/ Eat earlier in the day to improve your digestive process.  More high-quality fat will help your gallbladder like butter, egg yolks, and red meat.  Try and eat as naturally as you can to improve the liver.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Holistic Nootropics: https://holisticnootropics.com/ Listen to Erik's Podcast: https://holisticnootropics.com/podcast/ Follow Erik Levi LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-levi-62ba5617b/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDrK6maJ8nywMcW8grIsJxQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holisticahole Holistic Nootropics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistic_nootropics/ 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.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for the FOURTH time Dr. Pompa. He completed his undergraduate education at the University of Pittsburgh and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University's College of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia, where he graduated second in his class of 150. He and his wife, Merily, are now raising 5 young children and actively participating in their home church, North Way Christian Community. Cycling, reading, researching, and lecturing also fill the doctor's leisure hours. U.S., large chiropractic seminars annually feature him as a guest speaker to hundreds of professionals who learn of his detoxification program for neurotoxic conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and autism. In 2004, spiritual leaders and health care practitioners hosted Dr. Pompa's teachings on health and healing principles and the dangerous misuse of western medicine.  Dr. Pompa has established his practice on a firm and proven conviction that the crisis of modern-day allopathic medicine is the sad result of physicians chasing symptoms with medication rather than addressing the root cause of disease. His patients receive treatment based on the fact that God created the human body with the ability to heal itself when interferences such as metal toxicity, poor nutrition, and subluxations are removed. In this episode, Dr. Pompa opens the show by explaining hormesis and the importance of stress on our bodies. There's something called the hormetic zone; once you understand how it works, it can completely change your health. We talk about how exercise is critical stress on your body; however, it's possible to overdo it. Dr. Pompa explains how to know if you're overdoing it with exercise. Plus, we chat all about fasting and the importance of diet variation. Tune in as Dr. Pompa answers questions from Keto Kamp listeners.

However, it's not! When you learn this principle, it will change the way you think forever about stress. Ultimately, hormesis is about how we apply stressors and actually change the functionality of our bodies. There's something called the hormetic zone when you nail it, and you can drive healing in the body. All these positive things come out of hormesis; it will change the way you think about everything.  Hormesis refers to adaptive responses of biological systems to moderate environmental or self-imposed challenges through which the system improves its functionality and tolerance to more severe challenges.    [06:55] How Hormetics Increase Homeodynamics Through Exercise Aging, senescence, and death are the final manifestations of the failure of homeodynamics.  When you don't adapt, then you bring on death much faster in the form of senescence cells.  Molecular, cellular, and physiological pathways of repair.  If we nail this principle, then we live longer and healthier.  Exercise is the best way to increase homeodynamics.  We need stress to become better.    [11:25] How Do I Know My Hormetic Zone When It Comes To Exercise?  If you haven't exercised in a while, then you'll be sore the next day. That means you went over the hormetic zone.  You can either exercise too little, or you can stress your body too much.  People want to exercise when they're sick; however, your body's ability to adapt to stress is very low during sickness.  If you feel tired the next day, then you are doing too much exercise.  You need to get your body to adapt to higher levels of stress.    [16:40] Examples of Physical Hormetins That Will Create Stress  These are examples of hormetins that will create stress: Heat has been shown to mimic the effects of exercise on the body.  Cold activates protective brown fat in the body and can lead to weight loss.  Exercising in the cold is especially beneficial.  Low-dose radiation enhances the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells.  It will also regulate the negative effects of the immune response by inhibiting the transformation of immature DCs to mDCs.  Thermal shock Strength and stamina exercises Low-Dose Radiation  Gravity Covid Repetitive stress  Temperature change forces adaptation by altering the microbiome, causing a hormonal shift.    [26:20] Fasting Is A Stress That Applies To Hormesis  Fasting is one of the most significant stressors that we can apply to hormesis.  When you understand the principle of hormesis, you definitely will look at fasting differently.  A lot of people are fasting too much. If you fast too much, you can decrease immunity and lose muscle.  Fasting shouldn't be the same for everyone – you don't want to over-stress yourself with fasting.    [39:10] Types of Block Fasts and Where Should I Start?  There are benefits to longer fasts.  Water-only fasts have been happening for thousands of years. It's one of the purest forms of fasting. It forces higher levels of autophagy.  You shouldn't do a water fast unless you are fat-adapted or you're experienced with fasting. You should start keto before you start fasting.  Read Beyond Fasting: A Cellular Solution to Break Through Weight Loss Resistance, Slow Aging, and Get Well: https://revelationhealth.com/products/beyond-fasting-by-dr-daniel-pompa/azadi?afmc=azadi [56:10] Fasting For Fertility – Is Intermittent Fasting Safe?   Fasting is the greatest hormetic stress known to man.  We've seen miracles hormonally happen with fasting. However, fasting has to be applied correctly for it to work.  If you're a woman who is looking to be more fertile than the five days right before your cycle would be critical. Feast/famine monthly will change the body hormonally.  Feasting is creating new healthy cells.    [58:30] Make Sure You Vary Your Diet Based On The Season  Diet variation can be done seasonally or monthly. Plus, you should go in and out of ketosis. Some people do four diet changes a year based on the season.  Dr. Pompa will change his diet based on boredom and travel.   You can throw in a carnivore diet to mix up your microbiome.     AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Pompa's Website: https://drpompa.com  Follow Dr. Pompa Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/drdanielpompa/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PompaHealthSolutions Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrDanPompa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drpompa LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdanielpompa/ Read Beyond Fasting: A Cellular Solution to Break Through Weight Loss Resistance, Slow Aging, and Get Well: https://revelationhealth.com/products/beyond-fasting-by-dr-daniel-pompa/azadi?afmc=azadi Listen to Dr Daniel Pompa, How Intermittent Fasting Works For Weight Loss & Autophagy :KKP 115: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dr-daniel-pompa-how-intermittent-fasting-works-for/id1470779784?i=1000467871399 Listen to Dr Daniel Pompa | Autophagy vs mTor Balance, Diet Variation & Ancient Healing Strategies KKP: 304: https://www.audible.com/pd/Dr-Daniel-Pompa-Autophagy-vs-mTor-Balance-Diet-Variation-Ancient-Healing-Strategies-KKP-304-Podcast/B09F71M9CY 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.

If you lose enough night to sleep, you really are cognitively drunk. Eventually, Tara dove deep into sleep research and figuring out how to get the best sleep possible.  Tara realized that quality sleep enhances overall health and wellness, giving you focus on taking the day.   [04:20] If You Get Less Than Six Hours of Sleep Over Two Weeks, It Is The Same As Being Legally Drunk You can go without food longer than you can without sleep. Your body functions better when fasting. However, the same does not go for sleeping. Sleep is fundamental. If you don't sleep for ten days, you can die.  We need sleep for longevity and health. If you don't sleep, you won't function well.  Your chances of getting in a car crash are exactly the same if you're sleep-deprived or drunk.    [09:20] True or False: You Should Get Eight Hours of Sleep Every Night The myth that you need eight hours of sleep is one of Tara's favorite ideas to debunk. Eight hours of sleep actually came about in the Industrial Revolution. Once we fall asleep, this is where some of the magical parts of the environmental factors like temperature can really come into effect.  Our neurons are triggered by a change of temperature. You get the most amount of deep sleep when your body is two degrees cooler.  The probability of getting the deepest sleep is in that first half when it's getting cooler. 98% of your weight loss is going to happen during deep sleep.   [18:35] Chilisleep: Innovative Layers Make The Difference Our bodies want to get cooler in the first half of the night. That way, you unlock the most amount of deep sleep.  So, you need to help your body drop two degrees in its core temperature.  The Chilipad will go under your sheets. It will help pull the heat off of you.  Utilizing hydropower, the sleep system operates between 55-115°F, helping encourage quality, restorative sleep.    [23:45] Snuggle Up Sweat Free With chiliBLANKET A weighted blanket can release serotonin and reduce anxiety.  We're born from a very tight little womb. We bundle babies to calm them. Those instincts of cuddling and feeling protected release serotonin. The weighted blanket can calm anxiety and help you sleep at night.  That's why Tara sells her very own weighted blanket. The chiliBLANKET™ is the only hydro-capable cooling weighted blanket that can also be paired with an OOLER or Cube control unit. Learn more about it here: http://ketokampchilipad.com/ . [26:20] Why Tara Says “You Need To Be The CEO of Your Own Body” Insurance and healthcare in America are designed to treat sick people.  You have to own your own wellness. No one else is going to know us as we know us.  It's our responsibility to take ownership over our bodies and our health.    [30:30] Tracking Your Sleep: What You Need To Know  Tara is a fan of the Oura ring.  However, with any sleep tracker, their efficacy, especially on the sleep states, isn't awesome yet.  Wearables are on your body, so their ability to track your sleep states isn't as high. Deep sleep isn't the most important stage. Instead, you should focus on a balance.  During REM, there's a really fundamental part that helps with working through our emotions and filing memories.    [39:10] Ice Baths Before Bed: Will It Improve Your Sleep?  A twenty-minute ice bath is phenomenal for your sleep.  Go to bed an hour after your ice bath. If you're in a hotel room, cold cycling can reset your circadian rhythm. Putting people in that pre-hypothermic state will reset our clock.   “Everything in the universe responds to cold cycling.” -Tara     AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Chilisleep: http://ketokampchilipad.com/ Cube Sleep System use code “KKP30” OOLER Sleep System use code “KKP20” Sleepme: https://sleep.me/ Get Reprogram Your Sleep: The Sleep Recipe that Works: https://www.amazon.com/Reprogram-Your-Sleep-Recipe-Works-ebook/dp/B0813XZCZC/benazadi-20 Watch How A Sleep Recipe Changed My Life | Tara Youngblood | TEDxCaryWomen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR-lWXZ7ZUg Follow Chilisleep Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chilisleep/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChiliSleep/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/chilisleep/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kryo-inc/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQwV2lXe5EvnCBv7XuqzoDg?

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a second time T.J. Robinson, aka "The Olive Oil Hunter." He is one of the world's most respected authorities on all matters of olive oil. Known for his "platinum palate," he is one of the few Americans invited to serve as a judge in prestigious Italian olive oil tasting competitions. These days he is dedicated to importing rare fresh-pressed olive oil, the most flavorful and healthiest extra virgin olive oil on the planet, until now virtually impossible to obtain year-round in the U.S. All his oils are independently lab tested and certified for 100% purity. T.J. serves as a personal "olive oil sommelier," traveling the world, following the sun, seeking out only the best-tasting oils and acquiring them for his Club members right during the olive harvest, as the olive presses are running, when the oils are miraculously flavorful —like no other olive oil you can find in the U.S. In this episode, T.J. talks about the rampant fraud in the olive oil industry. Unfortunately, many companies are cutting their "extra-virgin olive oil" with dangerous and inflammatory seed oils. It can be hard to spot which olive oils are legit and which ones lie to the consumer. T.J. Robinson explains how to spot a fraudulent oil and what to look for when you're at the grocery store. Lucky for us, T.J. is letting Keto Kamp listeners try his $39 olive oil for just $1.

People use substandard olive oil and add a little bit of decent quality olive oil to it enough to pass a lab test.  Fraud in the olive oil industry has been happening for a really long time.  During a study, 70% of olive oils came back as not meeting the quality standards of extra-virgin.  Most Americans don't know what great olive oil tastes like.   [07:40] Olive Oils Are Being Cut With Inflammatory Oils Like Canola Oil  You have to be very careful when you buy an olive oil blend. Make sure to read labels in the grocery store very carefully.  Olive oil can be in a fancy bottle, with a fancy label and a high price tag. However, look at the back, and you might see that it's actually a blend.  It could be a blend of soybean oil or sunflower oil, but it's being sold as extra virgin olive oil.  More often than not, it's a lower grade of oil that's being sold as an extra virgin oil.   [10:10] Tips For Buying Olive Oil In A Grocery Store Always look for olive oil in dark glass; the dark glass helps protect the oil.  Glass bottles are preferable.  You also want to look for a harvest date on the olive oil bottle. Most bottles won't have a harvest date on them.  Look for oils that have a third-party certification.    [15:50] How A Professional Taster Would Examine Olive Oil Quality  A professional taster would taste out of small blue glass cups. Blue disguises the color of the olive oil. Color is not an indicator of quality. Many fraudulent olive oils will be cut with seed oils, but also add chlorophyll to adjust the color.  Read Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JNYNHHW/benazadi-20   [34:40] You Can Get A $39 Bottle of Olive Oil For Only $1 The goal of T.J.'s club is to educate American consumers.  He wants to help small farmers around the world as well.  Taste T.J.'s bottle of olive oil for only $1.  There's a myth that you cannot cook with olive oil; that's completely false. You want to use high-quality olive oil because of the antioxidants and the polyphenols.  Get the bottle here: http://www.getfresh37.com/   [46:50] There's No Commitment: Try T.J.'s Olive Oil Today There's no commitment for ongoing membership.  You have several weeks to cancel before you get your next shipment. Every quarter, T.J. will buy extra cases, and he shares those cases with potential club members.  A good percentage of people who get the olive oil will convert to being members.  T.J. says you can get three bottles of oil at a price of $139. Most people use about a bottle a month.  1 tablespoon per meal will completely change your health.  T.J. has over 20,000 club members that love his olive oil and believe in it.    [52:30] How To Use Olive Oil When You Are Intermittent Fasting   If you want to fast for longer, then take a shot of olive oil.  Olive oil doesn't break your fast, and it actually could support the fast because of the antioxidants and polyphenols. One of the ways to actually create new brain cells is through olive oil. If you want to be more resilient and creative, olive oil can be your biohack.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out T.J.'s deal for Keto Kamp listeners: http://www.getfresh37.com/ Follow T.J.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for the FIFTH time, Dr. John A. Lieurance. He is a Chiropractic Doctor, Registered Medical Assistant, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Expert, and has practiced in Sarasota for 24 years.   Dr. Lieurance has a gift for difficult cases where other practitioners have failed. With the successful integration of Functional Neurology, Chiropractic, Naturopathy, Nutrition using the Asyra, Detoxification Programs, and LumoMed inner ear therapy. His Musculoskeletal Ultrasound training includes over 100 hours through the Gulf Coast Ultrasound Institute, 60 hours through AAOM, 90 hours through AOAPRM, and 60 through TOBI. He has been an assistant instructor for hands on practicum for diagnosis using musculoskeletal ultrasound for the 3rd Annual Platelet Rich Plasma & Regenerative Medicine Symposium in Los Angeles, California in 2015, and was a speaker at the Florida Chiropractic Physicians Association (FCPA) in Orlando, Florida in 2016 on Clinical Applications of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound. In this episode, Dr. Lieurance talks about going past the hormetic zone by putting stress on the body. We talk about the importance of brain health and why you should never wake up sluggish in the morning. If you need caffeine to get through the day, then something is going on with your adrenals. Dr. Lieurance reveals what tools he would use to start to repair the body and ditch your morning caffeine impulses. Tune in as Dr. Lieurance gives us the scoop on the importance of melatonin, ketones for the brain, and red light therapy.

We wake up and do the same thing, and the body becomes accustomed to familiar signaling. Whether it's your walk to work or the exercise you're doing at the gym, these things are going to signal certain genes in our body to buffer this stressor. When we have a good expression of those genes, we have the ability to buffer more stress. If you stress your body a little more than it is used to, your body will have to use extra strength. This becomes way more important for the brain. You can't strengthen the brain like you can muscles. [07:10] Waking Up Sluggish Is Not Normal – Dr. Lieurance Explains Why Cortisol is the polar opposite of melatonin. If you want to learn more about melatonin, get the book Melatonin: The Miracle Molecule: https://www.ultimatecellularreset.com/melatonin-miracle-molecule-book/ When you sleep, your body goes into this calm, parasympathetic, resting, digesting, and repair phase. Cortisol is supposed to be highest in the morning. However, people get up in the morning and are feeling sluggish. Lieurance says you shouldn't rely on caffeine to help you get going in the morning. If you're not tired when you wake up, then you have healthy adrenals, you got deep sleep, and your body is restored. [11:20] Are You Over Consuming Caffeine? Here are Some Recommendations From Dr. Lieurance The overconsumption of caffeine is going to affect your sleep. You need that deep restorative sleep to wake up and feel refreshed. Lieurance says DHEA can help people support their adrenals. B vitamins will also be critical to support your adrenals. Plus, Dr. Lieurance recommends trying MethylMax™. It is a revolutionary product containing the most advanced methylators combined in one suppository product. You can find MethylMax™ here: https://www.mitozen.com/ketokamp/?v=7516fd43adaa [19:30] A Melatonin Suppository Will Help Combat High-Stress Levels We naturally decline our production of melatonin as we get older. During sleep, our body is repairing. Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and other conditions have been shown to be improved in clinical research by supplementing melatonin. Also, there are countless studies about how melatonin will have a positive effect when it comes to battling viruses; it has a positive impact on survivability. Get SandMan Sol™:  https://www.mitozen.com/ketokamp/?v=7516fd43adaa Get Super SandMan™:  https://www.mitozen.com/ketokamp/?v=7516fd43adaa [26:25] The Benefits For The Brain When We Are Producing Ketones Ketones are an efficient energy source. Ketosis is a wonderful tool to improve the endurance and ability of the brain to have more energy. Also, ketosis will cut down on microbial growth because most microbes like carbs. Plus, ketosis will cut down on inflammation. In addition to ketosis, Dr. Lieurance recommends methylene blue. It is one of the most novel and powerful nootropics on the planet. In fact, methylene blue is the first synthetic drug ever approved by the FDA for chronic urinary tract infections. [37:10] Red Light Therapy: The Benefits For Your Mitochondria Red light therapy is working on your mitochondria. Plus, it's working on your cellular energy. We get a lot of toxins in our skin. Red light therapy will have a tremendous benefit to detoxifying the skin. Red light can actually lower the resistance in red blood cells and improve circulation. In addition, red light can improve our circadian rhythm. Get red lights here: https://www.mitozen.com/ketokamp/ [41:10] If You Believe You Can Heal, Then Healing Will Happen For You The body has the ability to heal with our intention to heal without any other support. If you have the attitude and the intentionality to heal, there's profound evidence that healing can happen for you. Meditating for four hours a day can have a massive impact on your health. Plus, gratitude is shown to have positive effects on healing as well. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have with me for the second time Keith Norris. He is the co-founder (along with his amazing wife, Michelle) of the world's largest and most well-known Paleo event, Paleo f(x), in Austin, Texas. This event boasts the Blue Bloods – the crème de la crème – of the Paleo world, as well as other super high level experts in the area of the health, fitness, supplements, training & exercise, functional exercise – a list of the who's who so dense and full of important health information. While Keith's Paleo f(x) offers way more than the internationally known Paleo f(x) event, the Paleo f(x) event is his baby, a grass roots ground-up entrepreneurial effort that started as nothing more than a seedling idea several years ago, an idea that nearly failed, that Keith willed to survive that has grown into what is now an internationally known, highly respected and largest event of its kind anywhere. In this episode, Keith opens the show by describing the inspiration behind his book, Primal Uprising. We jump into each pillar that Keith introduces in his book: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, relational, and tribal. Plus, Keith talks about the importance of affirmations and staying in the present moment. We also dive deep into the subconscious and how you can truly create lasting habits. Lastly, Keith gives us the scoop on his massive event, Paleo f(x); get your tickets here: https://www.paleofx.com/paleo-fx-event/.

Sovereignty is your God-given right as a human being. You are the captain of your own ship. Nobody has jurisdiction over what goes into your body. The points in this book are what Keith and Michelle teach other people. Get Your Paleo f(x) tickets here: https://www.paleofx.com/paleo-fx-event/ [14:45] The Physical Pillar: Dial-In and Listen To Your Body Eat right and exercise. Listen to your body. Your body is talking to you 24/7. It is the most intelligent aspect of ourselves. The body and the subconscious mind know everything about us. The subconscious mind is responsible for 95% of your day-to-day actions. The subconscious mind accepts everything as truth. To have an effective habit change, you have to go into the subconscious mind and rewrite the story. Actions steps: Choose whatever workout you will do daily. Pick a diet that is healthy for a human being. Rewrite the stories that are in your head. [27:00] The Mental Pillar: Embracing The Present Moment You are the captain of your mental capacity. The ego is a very important tool; it's the CEO of your mind. For the most part, people operate on the daily because of the actions of their ego. You shouldn't kill the ego; instead, you need to put your ego in check. Also, being adaptive and being resilient are very important aspects of the mind. If someone is suffering from depression or anxiety, then they need to find the present. The only thing we have control over is the present. [33:00] Affirmations Will Help You Be More Present Affirmations help bring us into the present. Keith's favorite affirmation is “I am.” Focusing on your breath will also be beneficial. Once you're in the present, there is no past, and there is no future. [36:40] The Emotional Pillar: Learn How To Have Hard Discussions With People You Disagree With People can't have hard discussions anymore. The littlest things will get people offended. We should live in a society where we can have discussions with people we disagree with. One way to improve your emotional pillar is by doing a deep dive into an argument that you believe. However, you should be researching the other side of that argument. [41:30] The Spiritual Pillar: Find Your Relationship With Other The spiritual pillar is your relationship with ‘other.' Many people choose science as their relationship with other. There needs to be an entity that is higher than you. You can access the other through prayer or meditation. Spirituality does not need to be religion. [44:50] The Financial Pillar: Money Is Freedom “Money is not the root of all evil; evil thought is the root of all evil.” -Keith Money won't bring you happiness. However, you might be happier if you had money to create freedom. Money will be a magnifying to who you actually are. If you are a good person, money will be a tool to let you help more people. [51:00] The Relational Pillar and The Tribal Pillar: The relational pillar is your personal relationship with somebody else. You want to surround yourself with people that you aspire to be like. If you're doing what you love, and you're providing a good service, the money is going to come. Those are the types of people that Keith likes to surround himself with.

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!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Tracy Duhs. Helping people activate their vitality and feel alive has been Tracy's lifelong mission. Growing up in a missionary home cultivated her profound sense of compassion and her desire to educate on the simple foundations needed to look and feel our best. By the time she was 15, Tracy had already begun her undergraduate education in medicine. At 16, Tracy shadowed a missionary doctor working in an indigenous village in Guatemala, where she gained hands-on surgical and medical training. The time she spent there opened her eyes and enlarged her heart, to the need for wholistic wellness education and foundations. After her experience in Guatemala, Tracy decided to forgo a traditional allopathic medical career in favor of one that focused on regenerative care and education.When Tracy became a mother, her professional path took a personal turn. Her first child, Grace, was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroid and alopecia universalis at the age of two. Emboldened by her daughter's struggle, Tracy began her journey into hydration education by pursuing a PhD in the field of biogenetics as well as shadowing doctors from all around the globe to learn their different approaches to disease.It was through these experiences that Tracy became passionate about hydration as she learned the power hydration has to transform overall health and wellness in all people. Today, Tracy works as a modern wellness advocate specializing in the restorative powers of intelligent hydration.She has parlayed her wealth of experience and knowledge into a multi-dimensional career in wellness advocacy and education, starting with her podcast, HYDRATE. Tracy frequently consults large corporations and hotels to help build and facilitate wellness experiences. She also serves as the Director of the International Brain Summit. Tracy is the founder the Sanctuary Wellness Experience in San Diego and co-founder of Hydrate at the Sanctuary. In this episode, Tracy explains why the world needs to learn more about hydration. Just because you're drinking water during the day, that doesn't mean you'll be hydrated. Tracy explains how this is possible and what you can do to avoid dehydration. Plus, Tracy talks about some of her favorite health hacks that will help you stay hydrated, like sunlight, minerals, and grounding. Tune in as we chat about the importance of teaching our children about hydration and why Tracy is such a fan of hydrogen water.

If we're 98.9% water molecules, why is there not more talk about hydration and water? Tracy has dedicated her life to understanding hydrating. She loves to bring people together so that we can understand hydration at a higher level. [02:30] Drinking Water Isn't The Only Way You'll Stay Hydrated  The chemistry of the water is going to determine how your biochemical processes absorb it. Also, the health of your microbiome will determine how you process water. If you're moving, your body will play a part in hydrating. Sunlight and nutrition will also assist with activating water. [04:30] Does The pH of Water Really Matter When It Comes To Hydration? The pH of water is irrelevant. Instead, we should focus on the constituents of what we are ingesting. Anything that you're ingesting, you want to look at what's inside of that ingredient. Electrolytes are minerals in a liquid solution. We need electrolytes for water to move throughout bodies. [09:30] Do You Live Near A Mountain Spring? If Not, Tracy Gives Tips On Getting Water Tracy is not fortunate enough to live next to a mountain spring. So, she can't go grab water from a mountain spring every single day. Tracy has tested her tap water. There are chemical contaminations in her water. So, she has a reverse osmosis system in her home. It filters out the chemical contamination. Later, Tracy adds minerals to her reverse osmosis water. Now, the water can become structured. [12:50] Why Is Everyone So Dehydrated In Our Modern World?   From birth, we are not drinking the right water, and we are not drinking enough. Also, we are living sedentary lifestyles. Plus, we're sitting under artificial lighting all day, and we're not getting enough of the full spectrum sunlight outside. The lack of minerals, sunlight, and water leads to dehydration. [21:20] How Grounding and Sunshine Can Play A Critical Role In Hydration We're energetic beings, and we need to charge ourselves. At night, we plug in our phones and computers. We need to do the same thing with our bodies. Go outside and get sunshine during sunrise and sunset. The red light nourishment will be critical for your body. Take your shoes off when you're outside. It will help relax your body and charge your body. If your cells aren't charged, it doesn't matter how much water you intake; that water isn't able to do its job. [29:55] Hydrogen Water Can Help Reduce Inflammatory Responses Hydrogen is neutral, and it can get into the cell very easily. It's the smallest atom. You can't overdose on it, and you can't hurt yourself with it. Hydrogen water helps modulate inflammation in the body. From Tracy's personal experience, hydrogen water helps relieve her of brain fog.

Everyone desires to be healthy; most people are trying their hardest, but they just haven't been given the education. We need to teach our children about hydration, nutrition, grounding, minerals, sleep, community, exercise, and sunlight. Even if the brain is even 2% dehydrated, we're going to have inhibited cognition and neuroinflammation. Our children can have trouble thinking and learning if they are dehydrated. AND MUCH MORE!

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.

FREE REGISTRATION TO THE 7 DAY EVENT HEALTH LONGEVITY SECRETS: https://robert-lufkin.mykajabi.com/a/2147494261/463CbhYu TAKE HOME POINTS: Keto Flexing is a novel approach to ketogenic nutrition which involves ketosis, fasting, and flexible choices to optimize the health value of this strategy. Ketosis is a normal state in our bodies that we do less and less of because of the American diet, which forces us into the glucose side. So returning to ketosis is not a fad or a particular diet, but it's a way of living. It has health advantages compared to when we burn glucose. For ketogenic diet we add fats and oils. It is best to avoid seed/vegetable oils. They are [3 C's] canola oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, [3 S's] soybean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and two others rice bran oil and grapeseed oil. They're very unstable and highly inflammatory. We prefer stable fats, saturated fats, monounsaturated fats such as coconut oil, real olive oil, avocado oil, butter, ghee, duck fat, and lard.  *** CONNECT WITH ROBERT LUFKIN MD ON SOCIAL MEDIA ** Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/ Twitter:https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmd Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/health-longevity-secrets/id1585563694 FREE REGISTRATION TO THE 7 DAY EVENT HEALTH LONGEVITY SECRETS: https://robert-lufkin.mykajabi.com/a/2147494261/463CbhYu ---------------------------------------------- Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Today, I am blessed to have Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist and the 2X New York Times/WSJ Best Selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat. Robb has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world via his top ranked iTunes podcast, books and seminars. Robb has functioned as a review editor for the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism (Biomed Central) and as a consultant for the Naval Special Warfare Resiliency program. He serves on the board of Directors/Advisors for: Specialty Health Inc, The Chickasaw Nation's “Unconquered Life” initiative and a number of innovative start ups with a focus on health and sustainability. Robb holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and is a former California State Powerlifting Champion (565 lb. Squat, 345 lb. Bench, 565 lb. Dead Lift) and a 6-0 amateur kickboxer. Wolf has provided seminars in nutrition and strength & conditioning to a number of entities including NASA, Naval Special Warfare, the Canadian Light Infantry and the United States Marine Corps. In this episode, Robb Wolf talks about what inspired him to get started in the health space and the inspiration behind his three best-selling books. If you're having difficulty adjusting to a keto lifestyle, Robb explains what could be happening. First and foremost, you need to make sure your electrolytes are up to par; that's why Robb created LMNT, an electrolyte drink mix with everything you need. Tune in as we chat about the 7-day carb test, genius chip scientists, and the benefits of time-restricted eating.

He had this sneaky suspicion that better food and exercise could lead to better outcomes. So, Robb was interested in health at an early age. He was a California State powerlifting champion and got into Thai boxing and jujitsu pretty early on. It led to an undergrad in biochemistry, and then he was looking at either medical school or the research track. In college, Robb was experimenting with his diet. He was tinkering with a low-fat, high-carb vegan diet. Robb ended up making himself very sick. On his vegan diet, Robb was on a blood sugar roller coaster all the time, he had all these gut issues, and his depression was in pretty rough shape. Eventually, he changed over to a paleo diet, and it saved his life. [08:30] Spoiler Alert: Not Everyone Knows What They Are Talking About on The Internet If you're new to eating a raw diet or keto, you need to know the basics. Paleo, keto, and carnivore all revolve around protein. Providing nuance can be confusing when starting a new lifestyle. It's valuable to look at a variety of different people when finding advice on the internet. Learn from people who have had success in their lifestyle and are flexible. Remember, when starting a new lifestyle, it should be simple. [14:45] Are You Having A Hard Time With Keto? Robb Wolf Explains Why A lot of the problems that people experience is just inadequate sodium intake. If you keep your electrolytes up, you can often subside cravings. Keto can be a train wreck if you are a high-intensity athlete. On hard training days, you may or may remain in ketosis despite eating 200 grams of carbohydrate per day. [19:40] It's Critical To Keep Your Electrolytes Up To Help With Sugar Cravings You need adequate sodium. Otherwise, you may suffer from lethargy and fatigue. If you are fairly active and live in a hot, humid environment, your base level of sodium intake needs to be higher than what you probably think. If you're eating a minimally processed diet, then a lot of your food doesn't come with salt. You need to add salt to your diet or make sure salt is included in your foods. If you have an electrolyte imbalance, it can feel like you're hungover. [22:35] Drink LMNT: A Tasty Electrolyte Drink Mix With Everything You Need Get LMNT: https://amzn.to/2YiZaXe Robb created an electrolyte drink mix that is formulated to help anyone with their electrolyte needs. They are perfectly suited to folks following a keto, low-carb, or paleo diet. The mixes contain an ideal ratio: 1000 mg sodium 200 mg potassium 60 mg magnesium [27:15] Are You Overdoing It With Electrolytes? Here's What You Need To Know   The first and most common thing if people really overdo electrolytes is disaster pants. If you're attached to the bathroom, then you might be overdoing it on electrolytes. The Japanese culture has traditionally consumed ten to fifteen grams of sodium per day as part of their diet. The average intake in the United States is recommended to be below two grams of sodium. Sodium isn't a potentially dangerous element to the diet. Overall, keto reduces blood pressure in most people, and fasting reduces blood pressure in everyone. [30:55] Scientists Masterfully Crafted Chips To Make Them Hyperpalatable There's this new product called the Dorito Roulette. All of the Doritos are hot, but they vary in heat. Some of them are mildly hot, medium, and then one random chip that will burn your face off hot. The scientists understand palate fatigue and novelty at a super high level. How do you get people to eat more food? Well, you need some sort of randomness of exposure. Also, you need an anticipated but unpredictable, intense experience. Smart scientists understand how the brain works, and they're using it against us to make a big profit. [36:30] Robb Wolf Talks About His 7-Day Carb Test Choose a test carb from the list in Wired To Eat. Or find 50g of effective carbs or another carb source. Get Wired To Eat: https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Eat-Cravings-Appetite-Determine/dp/0451498569/benazadi-20 With the carb test, you can determine if carbs are a great option for your lifestyle. Some people have to be really smart and mindful about which carbs they are eating. When people start lifting weight, they become more metabolically flexible. Then, they can go back and retest their carbs. Learn more about the 7-Day Carb Test: https://robbwolf.com/wiredtoeat/7daycarbtest/ [41:55] Should You Try Time-Restricted Eating? What Are The Benefits? Time-restricted eating can be a wonderful tool for inducing calorie control. Some people will respond well to eating anything between 10 am and 5 pm. Eventually, they'll start to get healthier and make better food choices. We all know that somebody who exercises and eats healthy is shockingly healthier than an obese sedentary individual. Robb is not sold that a lean and healthy individual can gain a lot of benefits from fasting.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me bestselling author and filmmaker Jeffrey Smith. His podcast, Live Healthy Be Well, brings you the latest need-to-know health and wellness news while exposing cover-ups and spins by governments and corporations. He teaches practical strategies to protect and improve your own health, that of your family, and our planet. Jeffrey is the founder of the Institute for Responsible Technology and the leading consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices. For more than two decades, his research has exposed how biotech companies mislead policy makers and the public and put the health of society and the environment at risk. In this episode, Jeffrey Smith opens the show by speaking about his studies of chemicals and glyphosate. After attending a genetic engineer whistleblower lecture, Jeffrey did his own research, wrote books, and even directed movies. Jeffrey explains why GMOs are not the way to solve a world hunger crisis. Tune in as we dive deep into what glyphosate and GMOs are doing to animals, humans, and the general environment.

Monsanto was about to genetically engineer the food supply of soy and corn grown in Iowa. However, hardly anyone knew about it. The scientist knew that the technology was dangerous and could have a dramatic effect on human health. Jeffrey realized the fraud that allowed it to be approved by the corrupt regulatory agencies captured based on the mythological lies by the biotech industry claiming safety. So, Jeffrey started writing books and making movies about the controversy. Based on the evidence he collected, Jeffrey was convinced that eating these foods was causing tremendous harm to the US population and around the world. Get Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FP6MNMM/benazadi-20 Read Seeds of Deception: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BDLAU8/benazadi-20  [10:00] Can We Solve A World Hunger Crisis By Developing GMOs? Did you know that GMOs have nothing to offer when it comes to feeding the hungry world? GMOs do not increase average yields, and increasing yields is not necessarily the way to handle hunger. Currently, there's more food per person than at any time in human history. GMOs work against developing countries, destroys biodiversity and concentrates the power into the hands of corporations. Sadly, GMOs can devastate both the health of humans and animals. [19:50] What Is Happening To Humans When Pesticides Are Going Into Our Water Supply? One of the highest levels of Roundup is in the animal feeds. In addition to being patented as an herbicide, glyphosate was patented as an antibiotic. Glyphosate is a special type of antibiotic because it kills the beneficial bacteria in our gut, not the pathogens. So, it creates dangerous changes in our bodies. Roundup can be a cause of leaky gut, and all diseases come from a leaky gut. Glyphosate damages the sequence of the DNA and creates oxidative stress, linking it to cancer. There are also birth defects associated with it and changes in epigenetics. [37:55] How Do You Go About Finding Wine That Is Not Contaminated? Finding a wine that is not contaminated will be a heavy burden. Someone did a study on organic wines in California. All except one had traces of glyphosate. Why are there traces of glyphosate in most wines? Well, it's because the water supply is contaminated and because the air is contaminated. Most of the time, ‘organic' isn't good enough. Instead, you need to know that it is non-GMO verified. [43:00] The Terms We Want To Look For When We're Shopping For Products Even if the beef says ‘grass-fed,' it could be grain-finished. If they grain finish, it is probably corn, and that would contain GMOs. You want 100% grass-fed beef. Ideally, you want to call them and ask if the pastures contain any genetically engineered alfalfa. Remember, consumer demand drives the companies. We really want the 100% grass-fed people to say no genetically engineered alfalfa. [46:50] Jeffrey Gives His Thoughts On The Dirty Dozen and The Clean Fifteen For a long time, the clean fifteen included papaya and corn. However, those are two of the most genetically engineered crops. There was something they weren't telling people. Glyphosate is not tested as a residue by the US government. The US government doesn't test for glyphosate because they have been bought off. The government believed that glyphosate was so safe, it didn't need to be tested. They haven't been able to change their minds because of the corporate capture. Jeffrey recommends checking out Moms Across America: https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/ Also, he says to check out Responsible Technology: https://www.responsibletechnology.org/ [50:55] The Environmental Impact Glyphosate Is Having On Our World Learn more at Protect Nature Now: https://protectnaturenow.com/ On Protect Nature Now, there's a sixteen-minute video that you must check out. Jeffrey is exposing the shocking and potentially world-altering effects of genetic engineering microbes. A graduate student wanted to research a genetically engineered organism to get his Ph.D. So, he got permission to test this GMO microbe. He went into the lab one Saturday morning and was shocked to find that all of the wheat plants on his experimental batch had turned to slime. The sludge contained still active bacteria. The student discovered this two weeks before the people with the bacteria would release it outdoors to see how far it could spread. The microbiome, however, is far more complicated and essential than anyone ever thought. We didn't need a pandemic to know that they could travel around the world and mutate.

It's critical to work on the inside before you can start working on the outside. Dr. Frank reveals what things can improve your mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health. Plus, Dr. Frank talks all about her book, Stop Bullying Yourself. Tune in as we chat about the importance of healthy habits, sunshine, and of course, food.

However, she battled with depression. She struggled internally with just feeling not good enough. “It's important that we give ourselves the space and the grace to feel like it's okay to not feel okay.” -Dr. Frank When Dr. Frank found help for her depression, they gave her three prescriptions. Eventually, Dr. Frank realized that if you can rewire a computer, you could rewire your brain. So, she started doing all these little things to improve her mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health. [03:50] The Importance of Focusing on the Inside Before Working on the Outside Frank always told people exercise would solve all their problems, when really, it wasn't solving her problems. When Dr. Frank was exercising and eating healthy, she still wasn't happy. That's when she decided to work on her personal development and personal growth. Getting a coach will be critical on your journey. When you're most successful, you have a teacher or a coach in your corner. [06:30] If You Wouldn't Bully Someone Else, Why Bully Yourself? Read Stop Bullying Yourself: Identify Your Inner Bully, Get Out of Your Own Way & Enjoy Greater Health, Wealth, Happiness and Success: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HPNGHK/benazadi-20 This book started out as a Google Document for Dr. Frank's children. Frank wanted to give her children steps and things that she did to reprogram and heal ultimately. The inner bully is that voice inside your head. It can push you to do better, or it can turn on you. When people are bullying, it is because they are hurting inside. We need to silence our hurtful inner bully voice. [12:40] Your Body Is Like A Computer and You Can Rewire Your Brain At Any Time Food is information, ultimately. Food is literally talking to our cells. Everything carries a specific frequency, and frequencies carry information. Counting calories is an old-school way of thinking. Instead, it's all about the quality of the foods you get. When we exercise, we are increasing oxygen and nutrients to the body. It will help with hormones. Everything we do is a download to our body and into our soul.   [17:55] Improving Our Minds By Going Outside and Getting Sunshine You need to take ten minutes every day to go outside. The mornings between 7 am and 10 am have healing rays from the sun. Go into the grass with your shoes off. Sunshine will help with serotine and vitamin D. Without the sun, there would be no life. So, it's important to get sunlight every day. [21:05] The Best Types of Foods For Your Body and Mental Health Garlic, turmeric, berries, and beets will create nitric oxide in the body. High-quality proteins will be great for brain function. Healthy fats are perfect for getting our neurotransmitters firing and wiring. Food will impact hormone production and our mood. We have to remember digestion starts before food even hits our mouth. The relationship we have with food is critical for health. [29:35] What's Better: A Physical Six-Pack or a Mental Six-Pack?   There is no such thing as the perfect body. So a mental six-pack is much better! Frank doesn't want her daughters to think that being skinny will lead to happiness. The expectations that society puts on women are not realistic. Instead, you need to find a healthy mindset. You are amazing just the way you are! [36:40] It's Time To Change Your Habits So You Can Change Your Life We have to change our systems and habits. The systems and habits that you have in place will take you towards your goals. Do you have habits that are not serving you? It's time to change them. For instance, stop hitting your alarm clock three times. When your alarm goes off, get up! AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Jonathan Shane. He is the owner of Keto Road LLC and certified FNTP specializing in the ketogenic diet. After overcoming an eight-year battle with bulimia and body image issues, he knows the struggles of finding true health and food freedom. He has devoted his life and experience to help you take control of your health! In this episode, Jonathan talks about his keto journey and overcoming his struggles with eating disorders. Jonathan then jumps into the importance of faith to have an overall health transformation. It's critical to work on the inside before you can start to shape the outside. Later, Jonathan reveals the most common keto mistakes people make, and he gives keto grocery shopping tips. Tune in as we chat about the importance of fitness on your way to better health.  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.

He started emotional eating, and at age 14, he was 260 pounds with a 50-inch waist. Jonathan's doctor told him that he was killing himself. So, he decided to lose weight. After cutting fat from his diet, he lost 100 pounds. However, his hormones were out of whack. Jonathan's binge eating tendencies built up because his ghrelin and leptin were all over the place. Eventually, Jonathan found the ketogenic diet. He went nine months without relapsing on his bulimia when Jonathan started keto. Tomorrow will be three years since his last relapse.   [05:35] The Importance of Faith In Order To Have A Mental, Physical, and Overall Health Transformation Humans are powerful creatures, and most of us don't realize what we're capable of as human beings. However, we are innately broken in terms of a moral construct. It's hard to build something on our own that is sustainable long-term. A higher power will help create a moral construct. It's absolutely huge to have faith in something bigger than yourself. [11:55] You Have To Work Inside Out When It Comes To Losing Weight and Having More Energy True change starts with identity. People have this really bad habit of thinking that the outside actions are going to change their hearts. True pure faith will produce the desire to do the right thing. First, you need to let your internal identity change. So, it's time to create an identity where you accept and love who you are. Outward change is a temporary fallacy, and inward change is what manifests long-term growth. [15:50] The Most Common Mistakes People Make When Trying The Keto Diet The first mistake people make is fasting out of pressure and not doing it off of innate hunger signals and satiation. A lot of people develop really bad relationships with food, even if they've never had them. Many people abuse fasting. Instead, you should be listening to your body and letting your body guide you on what fasting should look like. Another mistake people make on keto is not eating enough fat. Also, you should not overconsume fat when trying keto. Eight hundred calorie coffees are not the way to go. [19:40] What Are Healthy Keto Products? Tips For Shopping At The Grocery Store Always start on the outer part of the store. Avoid everything that is white. Meats and colored vegetables are what you should stick with. You shouldn't stroll through the aisles of the grocery store. We are marketed to want the more attractive things first. The farthest part of the store is the meat section – there's a reason for that. Lastly, watch out for seed oils. [25:15] Are You Having Trouble Sticking With A Keto Lifestyle? Jonathan Has Advice For You First, start internally. Then, work on the external. You need a ‘why' for trying the keto lifestyle. Jonathan says you should be able to maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet 90% of the time. The only way you can do this is by having a why. The only way you can maintain your weight loss is by changing your identity. Also, Jonathan says you need to work on stress management. Lastly, it's time to stick with your food list. You can find Jonathan's list here: https://www.theketoroad.com/ [29:55] What Keto Can Do To Transform Your Health Completely To lose weight, you have to change your habits completely. When you change your habits, you will have a total mindset shift. Jonathan has had a client that lost 200 pounds. She is always chasing the better version of herself. Anybody can lose weight on keto as long as they work on an identity switch. It's time to innercise before you exercise. [33:45] You Need To Incorporate A Fitness Protocol With A Keto Lifestyle   You don't need fitness to lose weight. However, physical activity is a pillar for long-term success. Your body needs activity for healthy joints and bone density. You want to maintain healthy muscle, tendon, and ligament tissue. Many people make exercise excuses. If you want to exercise, then you will find time to do it.   [38:20] There's No Finish Line – You Can Continue To Grow A keto lifestyle is a continual race. You aren't going to be perfect. If you are perfect, there is no room to get better. So, every single day is an opportunity to improve. A lot is going on in the world right now. All you can do is control your response to your environment.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Amie Hornaman DCN, MsN, CFMP. She is also known as The Thyroid-Fixer, a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world and give them their lives back using her transformation program: The COMPLETE Thyroid Fix Method (CTFM). After her own experience of insufferable symptoms, misdiagnoses and improper treatment, Amie set out to help others who she KNEW were going through the same set of frustrations and who were on the same medical roller coaster. She grabs your hand, gives you answers about your health that no one has told you and gives you the actual tools and treatment to fix you. That's the transformational journey. With a focus on optimizing thyroid function and thus optimizing her patients, Amie looks at each person as a unique individual and not JUST a lab value. She examines all factors that tie into thyroid dysfunction and thyroid symptoms and treats the person from top to bottom to give them their lives back. In this episode, Dr. Amie opens up about her experience with health issues as a fitness model. Despite cleaning up her diet and exercising, Dr. Amie was gaining weight. After seeing six doctors, finally, Dr. Amie was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Dr. Amie speaks about knowing if you have a thyroid disorder and the role insulin resistance plays in your thyroid. Later, we talk about the benefits of keto and fasting when it comes to your thyroid. Tune in as we chat about berberine, toxins, and how to feel in control of your life.

Everybody knows their body. You know when your body is off. Plus, Dr. Amie was tired, and her hair was falling off. The doctor told her to eat less and exercise more. For Dr. Amie, that wasn't possible. Six diagnoses later, a doctor said she had hypothyroidism. [04:15] How Long Does It Take For Conventional Medicine To Diagnose A Thyroid Disorder? Doctors are looking at a standard lab range, which is huge. So, it's challenging to know about thyroid problems with conventional medicine. Some people see between six and ten doctors before learning about hypothyroidism. Amie knows someone who saw forty doctors before she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. It's different for everyone. However, if you know something is wrong with your body, then you can't stop searching for answers. [05:05] The Symptoms To Pay Attention To For Thyroid Disorders You may have a thyroid disorder if you are gaining weight with proper diet and exercise. There are other symptoms of thyroid disorders: Hair loss Fatigue Constipation Hypo is low and slow. Your mood will be depressed, your energy will be down, and your ability to burn fat will be down. [11:55] The Role Insulin Resistance Plays With An Underactive Thyroid “I see insulin resistance in about 99% of my thyroid patients.” -Dr. Amie The thyroid gland is the ultimate master gland of all of your trickle-down hormones. If we are living a lifestyle of high carbs and high sugar, we are actually causing insulin resistance. This type of lifestyle does produce a ton of inflammation. High insulin levels will inflame the thyroid and cause the thyroid to not produce enough hormones. Inflammation is beating up the thyroid gland. [14:00] True or False: You Cannot Do Keto With An Underactive Thyroid False! Keto is by far the best way of eating for hypothyroid patients. When there is inflammation, keto can be a total game-changer. Keto will improve inflammation. Therefore, you can improve your thyroid production. [20:30] Is Long-Term Ketosis A Good Idea For People With An Underactive Thyroid?   Being in ketosis for years without a break can lower your 3T3 levels. Usually, it's not a huge issue because it only lowers those levels a little bit. Instead, Dr. Amie says to come out of ketosis everyone once in a while. Break out of ketosis; that's all you need to do. Eat a sweet potato once a week. It will keep your thyroid gland active. [28:20] True or False: You Can't Fast With A Thyroid Issue False! When we're talking about the thyroid, we have to take into account the adrenal glands and cortisol production. Adrenal fatigue is blown out of the water a little bit too much. We do have to think about stress on the body and how it's going to affect your cortisol production. You can't deny the benefits of fasting. If you wake up and you are not hungry, do not shove food down your mouth. If you wake up hungry, then eat. Your body gives you signals all the time; listen to them! [33:00] Always Choose To Focus What Is Within Your Control 80% you can control; 20% you can't control. You can control your choices and what you put into your mouth. Also, you can choose what products you put on your body. Make sure you limit down your exposure to toxins. If you try to be perfect, you're just going to be at a standstill. [36:00] Say Yes To Berberine: Incredible Health Benefits of This Supplement Berberine works like Metformin. The supplement will squish the highs and lows of your blood sugar. Also, berberine has beneficial effects on the gut microbiota. Lastly, berberine is beneficial to the GI tract. [40:15] Dr. Amie Gives You Action Steps To Take Right Now Get a full thyroid panel and look at it from a functional lens. Eat a keto diet and fast. Lastly, get restful sleep. It's the foundation of health! AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Stephen Hussey. He attained both his Doctorate of Chiropractic and Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. He is a health coach, speaker, and the author of two books on health; The Health Evolution: Why Understanding Evolution is the Key to Vibrant Health and The Heart: Our Most Medically Misunderstood Organ. Dr. Hussey guides clients from around the world back to health by using the latest research and health attaining strategies. In his down time he likes to be outdoors, playing sports, reading, writing, and spending time with his wife and their pets. In this episode, Dr. Hussey opens the show by explaining why he wrote a book about the heart. After doing some research, Dr. Hussey realized that many things people told him about the heart growing up were utterly wrong. He explains why the heart is humanity's most medically misunderstood organ. Dr. Hussey reveals that the red meat studies don't make much sense and why our organs prefer to burn ketones instead of glucose. Later, we dive into the importance of focusing on insulin resistance and ditching vegetable oils.

During his studies, Dr. Hussey realized that his lifestyle would impact his inflammatory conditions. No doctors told him to change his lifestyle. Instead, they said to eat whatever he wants and take more insulin when he needs it. [04:00] Why Dr. Hussey Decided To Write A Book All About The Heart Growing up, Dr. Hussey would see posters that said, “diabetics have two to four times increased risk of heart disease.” Whenever Dr. Hussey would ask someone why that was, they would say it was because of higher blood sugar over time. So, Dr. Hussey tried to learn as much as he could about heart disease. After doing his own research, Dr. Hussey realized a lot of things he was told were completely wrong. [10:30] Why Your Organs Prefer To Burn Fatty Acids and Ketones Most organs in general in the body seem to have this preference for burning fatty acids and ketones for fuel. Even in the presence of glucose, the heart still chooses to burn ketones and fatty acids. There are mechanisms in place that give the heart first dibs on fatty acids. Your body needs to be generating the most ATP possible because you get way more ATP burning fatty acids and ketones than you do glucose. [13:20] Why The Red Meat Study Doesn't Make A Lot of Sense The China Study uses all associations, so they can't really tell us much of anything anyways. You can't say one thing caused another when doing these types of studies. In The China Study, they found that people who ate more red meat had higher incidences of heart disease. When you look at the data, the people who ate more red meat were people who lived in cities. The study cannot flesh out the differences between someone who lives in a city and lives in a rural area. In cities, there are more toxin exposures and more stressful lifestyles. Plus, there are more processed foods in cities. All these differences cannot be flushed out in a study. [15:30] What Eating Red Meat Does To Your Body Red meat is one of the best foods for human beings. It's a food that is nutrient-dense and bioavailable. Our population is extremely undernourished and overfed. Red meat will be important for people to consume. Getting rid of animal farming is not an option for the health and future of humans. Humans have been eating red meat since the beginning of humans. It makes no sense that it would be killing us. There are certain nutrients that come almost exclusively from our meat and red meat. Why would a food that has so many beneficial nutrients to the heart also be killing the heart? [27:20] Does LDL Mean Anything When It Comes To All-Cause Mortality? Doctors say that LDL should be lower than 100. However, they started it at 250. So, we really don't know what it's supposed to be. The levels of LDL that associated with the lowest death from anything were between 117 and 160. The recommendation is to have it below 100. However, the highest all-cause mortality was lower than 84. There are studies that say higher LDL is better than a lower LDL. [32:40] Instead of Focusing on Lower Lowering Cholesterol, Focus on Lowering Inflammation Treat insulin resistance first. That way, inflammation will go away. If you treat those two things first, then your LDL doesn't matter. The only reason LDL will become problematic is because of inflammation and insulin resistance. There are studies that suggest that higher LDL can be beneficial. It's all in the context of the health of the human. Everything should be based on how you feel. If you are just checking LDL, then you are missing the bigger picture. [37:10] The Heart Isn't The Main Mover of Blood Within The Body When you look at the physics of it, there's actually no way that a heart the size of ours could pump blood throughout the entire body. There's evidence that blood can move on its own. Our blood is about half water, and water can absorb energy from the environment. When our blood has sufficient energy, it will do unique things and structure itself. [49:00] Which Is Worse: Carbs or Vegetable Oils? Vegetable oils will derail the metabolism in a way that ultimately causes insulin resistance. The vegetable oils are lighting the fire. Processed carbohydrates add fuel to the fire. You're not going to be able to burn off vegetable oils as efficiently as the glucose. Instead, they're going to cause inflammation. It's critical to minimize bad fats from our bodies. AND MUCH MORE!

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!

Troy even spent over 8 years living and working with the indigenous tribes in the Amazon RainForest, as not only a healer but also as a medicine hunter, utilizing some of the world's most most sacred plants. Troy has also studied Vipassana Meditation techniques, Ashtanga Yoga and more recently at the world famous CHEK Institute, working closely with Paul Chek. Troy has lectured and taught throughout the world, appearing on numerous television shows, news programs, international documentaries and in many books around the world.

Then, Troy jumps right into his favorite tools for overall health and physical wellness. First, it's critical to find some sort of plant medicine that will get you out of your head and blast open your consciousness. Once you can think beyond your programming, then you can start to rethink everything you thought you knew about nutrition. Tune in as we chat about the importance of rotating your diet, why you need to ‘innercise,' and the inspiration behind Troy's book, Ripped At 50.

He would drink beets, celery, lots of greens, dandelion, and kale. Now, Troy doesn't drink juice as much. Instead, he uses dehydrated powers to get nutrients throughout the day. Troy was introduced to an herbal company from the Amazon; they were selling some of the most powerful plant substances that you can take into your body. He became a huge advocate of these plants and their unique phytochemistry. He experienced great vitality from these plants; so, he went down to the Amazon to conduct research. Troy continues to go after his own spiritual evolution using holistic tools.  [09:30] The Best Tools For Overall Health and Physical Wellness Ayahuasca and psychedelics are extremely handy for people who are asleep to their reality. Find something that can blast open the consciousness so that you can go beyond your programming. Once you have experienced these powerful plant medicines, then it's time to dive into nutrition. Only 4% to 6% of the food in the world is produced organically. So, producing organic food will be your best bet to finding health. You can't outrun a poor diet. Get as much information about how you can properly feed yourself in this modern world. [16:15] Variety Is The Spice of Life When It Comes To Keto Foods Rotation was built into the hunter-gatherer development of our digestive tract. It takes 72 hours for animal proteins to go through the digestive tract. You need lots of fat to digest meat. Whereas white chicken breast can be hard to digest. It's important to rotate what you're eating. For instance, switch from eating chicken eggs to duck eggs every now and then. If you get constipated, then try drinking beet, celery, green apple, and ginger juice. Sometimes, the juice isn't enough to reset your system. When this happens, Troy does a dry fast for eighteen hours. When we eat different foods, it creates more diversity in the gut. The more diversity you have, the healthier you're going to be. [27:30] The Inspiration Behind Troy's Book, Ripped At 50 Troy wanted to write the book Ripped At 50 because he wanted to get back to the fundamental principles of life. Plus, he wanted to speak about his purpose as a human being. Once you know what your heart desires, then it can dictate your holistic program. The world doesn't need another diet and lifestyle book. So, in Troy's book, he talks about the ups and downs of his life. Plus, he speaks about reprogramming our thoughts, questioning our thoughts, and doing research on how our brains work. Check out Ripped At 50: https://www.rippedat50book.com/wisdoms [34:25] Why You Should ‘Innercise' Before You Start To Exercise First, you need to question all of your thoughts. Where did your thoughts come from? Are your thoughts even true? Troy recommends watching The Century of the Self: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnPmg0R1M04 There are messages embedded in all of the media that we consume. Your thoughts may be erroneously programmed into your mind. We are listening to people who get paid by corporations. Those corporations make money when people get sick. If you're not getting the results that you want, then you need to completely reprogram your thoughts. Troy says to turn off the television, drink ayahuasca, go into cold water, and get out of your head. [47:20] When Has The Government Given Us Positive Health Advice?   The five-year survival rate for chemotherapy in Australia is 2.3%, and in America, the survival rate is 2.1%. The survival rate is maybe 2.3%; however, the side effects can ruin your life. If you're representing herbal medicine or natural medicine, you can't treat, cure, or mitigate a disease. The only people that can treat, cure, or mitigate disease are medical doctors. Doctors only spend two days to two weeks on nutrition studies. Doctors are the only ones by law that can treat a disease, manage it, or diagnose it. Chemo is sold as a cure for cancer. Just like Covid, people don't talk about the survival rate. AND MUCH MORE!

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

Parents don't want to take food away from their kids like macaroni, pizza, and chicken nuggets. Kids will start metabolically flexible and can get away with eating anything. However, it won't last forever. If you still want to buy chips, then Kristina will suggest buying chips with cleaner ingredients. Instead of buying Ben & Jerry's ice cream, try a pint of Rebel ice cream. The most common contributing factors leading to insulin resistance are lifestyle issues like nutrition. If we ate real food, then we wouldn't develop insulin resistance in the first place. Processed food is speeding our way to insulin resistance. [06:10] Are You A Sugar Burner? Here's What You Need To Do Now There are three things we can do when we are trying to get well: Time Restriction: how often you're eating and when you are eating. It's critical to stop eating before bedtime. Caloric Restriction: if you're going to eat garbage, then eat less of it. Dietary Restriction: take something out of your diet that is not healthy for you. It will be a vast improvement from the Standard American Diet. If you want results, try all three of these steps. 76% of the world population does not have the genetic adaptation for LCT. You should consider cutting out dairy; cow dairy is inflammatory for most humans. If you have skin issues, headaches, and extra flatulence, then dairy could be the problem. [11:50] The Importance of Testing For Glucose Values and Ketones Values If you are extremely insulin resistant, there is hope if you're willing to put in the work. There are two different companies that Kristina recommends for her clients: Keto Mojo: https://keto-mojo.com/ Biosense: https://mybiosense.com/ Keto Mojo allows you to test ketones and blood sugar. Plus, they provide your GKI. People should test every single day, especially in the beginning. That way, you can learn which foods are taking you out of ketosis. Plus, by testing, you can learn how many carbohydrates that you can tolerate. Some people can stay in ketosis at 50 total carbs or 75 total carbs. Everyone has their own carb tolerance. [18:50] What Is Nutrigenomics? It Might Be The Future of How You Eat The Human Genome Project was a project that spanned many years. Human DNA was mapped out to correlate to different nutrients and hormones. APOE4 is an old gene, and it conferred a lot of health benefits. One of the benefits was fertility in cold weather. Plus, APOE4 correlates to neuronal health in the brain and also to cholesterol production. Unfortunately, today's diet doesn't correlate to that old gene. Our diet causes a lot of inflammation. If you have APOE4, you shouldn't drink at all because you are 23% more likely to develop Alzheimer's. If you want to test your genes, Kristina recommends the Nutrition Genome: https://nutritiongenome.com/. If you have done a 23andMe, then you can use that data as well.   [26:10] The Role That Epigenetics Plays With Our Genes and Lifestyle How you live is what impacts your epigenetics. We are in control of our health. How much sleep do you get each night? How are you moving your body? Genetics is the blueprint. Genes are the potential, and they can give us a roadmap on how to live our lives. Epigenetics is the optimal lifestyle that will help you lead a healthier and longer life. There's a gene that correlates to ketones: PPARalpha. If you have this gene, eating extra fat will be challenging. [30:40] The Health Numbers You Absolutely Need To Know Ask for your A1C. That way, you know if you are headed for diabetes. C-reactive protein is a cardiac risk marker. You want it to be under a 1. Also, test for homocysteine, RBC magnesium, and B12. Lastly, get a full thyroid panel. [33:25] How Changing Your Lifestyle Can Impact Your Mental Health Sugar takes us on a roller coaster ride emotionally. There is a strong food-mood connection. Cold therapy can be a huge benefit for improving mood. People don't need antidepressants and antianxiety medicine if they have the proper tools. It takes 72 hours to get off sugar. Once that's over, you have all this freedom and clarity. Then, you'll have the energy to work out. Plus, you will sleep better.

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

After doing research, Nick found that cell phone radiation could contribute to cancer. Everyone is using more and more wireless technology. EMF radiation is one of the fastest-growing environmental exposures. You have multiple types of EMFs and frequencies; no one really understands it. We're being exposed to this agent at levels that are unprecedented. [08:45] How Much EMF Exposure Has Increased Since The 1950s EMF exposure has increased a quintillion times since the 1950s. A quintillion is 18 zeros after a one. Exposure intensity is tremendously higher than the background, ancestral levels. Scientists are wondering this question: what are the safe levels of EMFs that human beings should be exposed to? The reality is that we don't know. We don't have a control group that has not been exposed. Society is moving towards more connectivity, whereas science is moving towards more danger when it comes to EMFs. [14:00] Pandemic Screen Time: Are Blue Light Glasses Actually Helping? People argue that blue light glasses do something; they block certain frequencies of blue. Scientists found there is a connection between macular degeneration from certain lights. So, people started wearing blue light glasses. The danger has to do with the intensity of the screen and how artificial our screen is. If the screen is flickering, there could be a detrimental effect on your cognition. Screens are tied to eye health and circadian rhythm. Overall, it's critical for the human body to read the outside environment. [17:15] Should You Be Worried About EMF Exposure? The more we understand chronic disease, the more we link it with chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is oxidative stress. EMFs can increase oxidative stress in the body. EMFs can cause an overflow of calcium in the cell, reduced mitochondrial energy production, reduced melatonin productions, and chronic inflammation. At the end of the day, it comes down to why we are so inflamed. Inflammation can come from food, addiction, mental stress, alcohol, pollution, and viruses. EMFs are part of these stressors. [29:00] Do Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Really Increase Health Risks? Any Bluetooth headphones in your ear are exposing yourself to EMF radiation. Bluetooth headphones are worse for you than the radiation from your cell phone. Some people are wearing these headphones 24/7. Even if the headphones are off, it's still emitting radiation. You are exposing yourself to dangerous and useless risks. [34:40] Effect of Electromagnetic Field Exposure On Sleep Quality Being close to power lines exposes yourself to another type of field: the 60-hertz magnetic field. 100 feet from the powerlines could start being safe. Close powerlines are not good for your health and are terrible for your sleep. Magnetic fields from the outside environment can really disrupt the body's ability to form the embryo. In a magnetic field is overall stress that is always present in the air around you; it's like living in a big bubble of radiation. If radiation impacts your sleep 10%, imagine the long-term effects. [42:40] What Is EMF Testing and How To Do It Yourself There are meters you can buy to test your area for EMF radiation. Some meters on Amazon cost as low as $50. You want a meter that will test microwave radiation or radiofrequency radiation. It's very useful to have a meter like that to find sources that you don't expect might be emitting radiation. If you don't have a meter, you don't realize when you are being exposed. Nick is a fan of Enviro RD10 EMF Meter. Learn more about what Nick recommends by visiting his website: https://theemfguy.com/ [52:55] EMF Radiation Inside of a Tesla   Some cars have low levels of exposure, and other models have higher levels of exposure. Having a battery pack under your butt as your driving is poor placement. The battery pack is a large magnetic field under your seat. Your entire body could be in the magnetic field as you drive. If you're driving all day, it can be highly problematic. Older cars might be safer because there are less electronics.

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

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

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

Rachel decided to go to Baylor University for Nutrition Science and Dietetics. At college, Rachel started weightlifting, fitness competitions, and bodybuilding. She was known as someone who could maintain this incredible physique for so long. Fitness was an outlet for Rachel to escape her trauma. [04:20] Rachel Was Close To Getting Her Entire Large Intestine Cut Out Rachel suffered from a lot of chronic gut issues. She realized that bodybuilding wasn't healthy; she was miserable on the inside. During her bodybuilding days, Rachel had hormonal imbalances, her thyroid took a massive hit, she was depressed, and she had anxiety. Rachel's gut issues were severe – whenever Rachel ate, she had massive pain. The gastroenterologist wanted to cut out her large intestine. Something in Rachel's gut told her not to do the surgery. Instead, she went down the road of functional medicine. [15:40] A Guide To Increasing Diversity In Your Gut Food is a great way to increase diversity in your gut. More diversity in our gut leads to more leanness, which can help improve our metabolism. The first thing you can do is feed the bacteria in the gut by increasing more fibers. Green bananas are a great way to increase diversity. Figure out a way to rotate some of the foods and fibers that you're eating. “Food is going to be the number one source of fuel for a greater diversity in our gut.” -Rachel Scheer [23:45] The Worst Foods You Can Eat For Gut Health Sugar A lot of pathogenic bacteria thrive off of sugar in the diet. Sugar also leads to obesity which will wreak havoc on our gut microbiome. Vegetable oils They create massive inflammation throughout our entire body. We can metabolize sugar, but we can't metabolize these seed oils. Medications (antibiotics, antacids, PPIs, and birth control) Birth control can deplete the body of key micronutrients. It can wreak havoc in our gut microbiome not only because of depleting the nutrients, but it can cause an imbalance of bacteria. Most people have too much stomach acid, and we overuse antacids. Stress Stress causes us to be in a catabolic state. When our digestive system is not really working because we're in a stress state, this can lead to a lot of bacterial overgrowth. Unresolved trauma People who've gone through trauma actually have a low vagal tone. When we go through periods of stress, our gut is affected. Sugar substitutes Use monk fruit and stevia instead of other popular substitutes like sucralose. Dairy and wheat Most of us can't really break down lactose. Try to do an elimination diet by removing dairy. Raw diets Raw vegetables have a lot of insoluble fibers. In general, we need to cook our food. [43:25] Building Lean Muscle Mass Important For Longevity Protein is incredibly important for our skeletal muscle mass. When we don't have adequate skeletal muscle mass, we have higher levels of blood sugar and higher levels of insulin. The number one reason why people end up in nursing homes is for sarcopenia. Overall, we need to eat high-quality protein and increase skeletal muscle mass in the body. [48:25] Which Is More Important: A Physical Six-Pack or a Mental Six-Pack? Rachel says a mental six-pack is more important than a physical six-pack. Losing weight won't make you happy. Instead, who you are as a person will make you happy. Always work on being the best version of yourself and always do things that will improve your mental health and wellbeing. [40:55] How To Respond To Hateful Comments and Messages Online People like to put you down and criticize you online. Usually, it's all about the person that is doing the criticizing.

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

This process taught her that the journey was about the MIND, BODY & SOUL and that HAS to be shared! In this episode, Erika Bell talks about her journey from hitting rock bottom to following a ketogenic lifestyle. Once Erika started keto, she never looked back; Erika lost one hundred pounds in ten months. We talk about the importance of finding community on your journey and some surprising benefits Erika found after ditching the carbs. Tune in as we chat all about Erika's upcoming Keto Orlando Health & Wellness Summit.  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.

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

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

She suffered from chronic constipation and chronic pains with food. So, Austin tried a paleo diet and cut out diary. Eventually, Austin noticed that when she cut out certain vegetables, her digestion was getting better. Then, she realized more fats would make her feel better. It wasn't until Austin went carnivore and cut out fiber that made her digestive issues go away. [06:30] Antinutrients Could Be The Reason For Your Symptoms Joint pain is a big issue. Antinutrients can also cause chronic constipation. Also, antinutrients can be hindering your mental clarity and sleep. Lastly, antinutrients may be causing low energy levels. Switching to carnivore can vastly improve mental clarity, sleep, energy, digestion, and joint pain. [08:35] Why You May Want To Ditch The Antinutrients Take away antinutrients to see if your health improves. Antinutrients will affect every person differently. The gut will be most affected by antinutrients. In fact, they can even cause leaky gut. First, you have to clean the gut before you introduce probiotics. If you add probiotics to an unhealthy gut, then it's not going to help. Remove the antinutrients in order to heal the gut temporarily. [14:15] Do You Need Fiber To Have Regular Bowel Movements? People think that going on a carnivore diet will result in constipation. Other people say that the carnivore diet will result in explosive diarrhea. When switching to carnivore, the increased amount of fat could result in diarrhea. So, go heavy on protein instead of fat. Liquid fats will run right through you. [16:30] Why You Shouldn't Drink Water When You Are Eating Your Meals When you are eating a carnivore diet, you already have a lot of protein which requires stomach acid to break it down. To maximize stomach acid, prevent water 30 minutes before and after a meal. It takes our body more effort to digest cold water. Instead, drink room temperature water. When eating, it is best not to just stress the body and make sure that you can focus on the digestion of food. [17:45] Electrolytes Are Critical When Following A Carnivore Diet Austin is a minimalist when it comes to supplements. If you are going to eat organs, then eat the actual organs. Supplements are processed, so it's time to eliminate those from your diet when possible. If you are starting a carnivore diet, then you need more electrolytes. Take a magnesium supplement; it's not readily available in our soil anymore. Austin recommends Pure Encapsulations: https://www.pureencapsulations.com/ [22:00] Why You Should Eat Organ Meat And How To Make It Taste Good Liver is the most bang for your buck. The beef heart is very mild. Another organ that is easy on flavor is the beef tongue. Slow cooking the beef tongue will make it easy to consume. [26:45] Can I Get Cancer From Eating Too Much Red Meat? Keto and carnivore have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. The red meat studies were not accurate – they were not looking at just the consumption of red meat. Everything comes down to inflammation. When you reduce antinutrients, you are reducing inflammation. By doing these things, you are actually reversing your chances of getting cancer. The number one cancer center in the United States is promoting a ketogenic diet. [32:50] How To Transition From Carnivore To Keto Depending on what foods trigger your symptoms will depend on how you want to transition from carnivore to keto. For instance, if sweet things trigger your symptoms, then you may want to avoid fruits. However, if sweet foods are not your trigger, then you can start to reintroduce berries back into your diet. Avocado is a safe food to bring back into your diet. Also, some people even cut out eggs when they go on a carnivore diet. That's another food item you can start incorporating when getting back to the keto lifestyle. AND MUCH MORE!
