In part 1, we have Laurence Girard, Founder & CEO of Fruit Street, a developer of digital diabetes prevention and weight loss programs. During a college internship at a healthcare facility, Laurence had an intense experience with an overweight diabetic patient who passed away. This experience led him to Fruit Street.

According to Laurence, approximately 88 million American adults—more than 1 in 3—have prediabetes. Of those with prediabetes, more than 84% don't know they have it. That's why he advises taking their risk quiz and then a blood test along with a hemoglobin A1C test. There's a need to raise awareness amongst the public and physicians.

Storytime  I want to take you back, back in time to a hot June night in 1980 and tell you a story about that time. [cue sound effect] I'm 11 years old and I'm recovering from a third spinal surgery after two previous cervical fusions failed.  I'm feeling terrible.  I'm in a dark, cold hospital room in a university hospital, just out of post-op and back on the pediatric unit 104 miles from home, immobilized in a full body cast and halo brace, recovering from puking from the general anesthetic, afraid that this surgery failed like the other two.  My confidence in surgeons is at a low ebb.  The room smells of antiseptic and isolation.   Back in those unenlightened days, visiting hours were really limited, so my parents aren't there.  But I'm not alone.  My sick toddler roommate is lying face down in his crib, sobbing inconsolably.   No one comes for him.  “Nothing can be done for him -- this will pass,” the professionals had told me when I pressed the call button for him.   So I don't bother with the call button anymore.  I can't think of anything to do for him either.  I feel like he does.  We're both miserable.  I am in the darkest hour of my life to that point.  I'm beginning to wonder if the rest of my life will be a series of horrible, painful, failed surgeries, nighttime isolation and helplessness.   So what does little Petey Guy do at the point?  My aunt Marlene always used to call me Petey Guy when I was that age.  Petey Guy starts to sing.  Yes, that's right, I start singing.  Do you know what I was singing?  Was the 1959 Julie Andrews version of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music?  No it wasn't.   The Beatles" 1969 classic "Here comes the Sun" by George Harrison?  It was not.   Was it the 1977 show tune "The Sun will Come out Tomorrow" from the musical Annie?  Nope.  Guess again.   Gloria Gaynor's smash hit in 1977 "I will survive"?  Wrong.   "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac, also in 1977?  No.   How about "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey -- that was it, right.  Come on, people.  "Don't Stop Believin" came out in 1981.  We're in 1980. So chronologically, that wouldn't make sense.    No, I was singing a different song, a darker song than any of those,  a 1970 song with lyrics written by 14 year old Michael Altman, put to music by his father Robert Altman and sung by Johnny Mandel.  A song written for the 1970 movie MASH.  Some of you may be following this now.  I was singing a song called Suicide is Painless.   You're probably familiar with the tune.  After the surprise success of the movie, Robert Altman chose it to be the instrumental opening for the hugely popular MASH comedy-drama series that ran on CBS from 1972 to 1983.  So even though you know the tune, you might not be familiar with the gaunt, haunting, despairing lyrics.  Here's the opening stanza: Through early morning fog I see   Visions of the things to beThe pains that are withheld for meI realize and I can seeThat suicide is painlessIt brings on many changesAnd I can take or leave it if I please So a little backstory.  My Grandpa Roberts had a magnus chord organ  1960's very popular, lots on the second hand market.  Chords press a button with left hand, keyboard with the right.  We had one too.   Grandpa Roberts had a songbook of popular tune to play on the Magnus Chord Organ --- including Suicide is Painless   I recognized the theme from MASH, and it was one of very few songs I learned to play on the Magnus Chord Organ, and I sang the lyrics as I played.  But they didn't particularly resonate with me until that post-surgical night in 1980, in the dark, sick, and alone with the crying toddler when my 11 year old heart was so burdened and breaking.   Nobody noticed my singing about suicide in the night -- my toddler roommate didn't seem to care.  And it wasn't until almost 40 years later that I ever told anyone about it.   Intro Welcome to the podcast Interior Integration for Catholics, thank you for being here with me.   I no longer go by "Petey Guy," I am better known as clinical psychologist Peter Malinoski  The reason this Interior Integration for Catholics podcasts exists is to help you toward  loving God, neighbor and yourself in an ordered, healthy, holy way. -- It's about tolerating being loved, and about loving about living out the two great commandments to the hilt, with all of our being, it's about overcoming the natural obstacles to reaching more of our potential, both in the natural and the spiritual realms.   Because we take on the tough topics in this podcast, today we are getting into the difficult and complex topic of suicide/  Suicide.  Even the word can send shivers up the spine.   This episode is titled IIC 76  The Black of Suicide -- What Do the Secular Experts Say? and it's released on July 12, 2021  Today we are looking at the best of current psychological and sociological research --  Episode 73.  St. Augustine De Doctrina Christiana. Chapter 40   is a theological text on how to interpret and teach the Scriptures. Moreover, if those who are called philosophers, and especially the Platonists, have said anything that is true and in harmony with our faith, we are not only not to shrink from it, but to claim it for our own use.  all branches of heathen learning have not only false and superstitious fancies and heavy burdens of unnecessary toil, which we ought to abhor and avoid; but they contain also liberal instruction which is better adapted to the use of the truth, and some most excellent precepts of morality; and some truths in regard even to the worship of the One God are found among them. Now these are, so to speak, their gold and silver, which they did not create themselves, but dug out of the mines of God's providence which are everywhere scattered abroad   In future episode, we will bring in a lot more of the wisdom of the Catholic Church . And in future episodes, we will bring in more Internal Family Systems thinking about our parts and suicide, fascinating stuff there And in future episodes we will be discussing the impact of suicide on parents, spouses, siblings, children and friends who experienced suicide through the death of a loved one.   So we are at the beginning of a series of episodes on suicide.  This is a critical topic -- A 2017 Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of 1000 American Adults finds that 55%  know someone who has committed suicide. One from my 8th grade graduating class  One for two classes behind me in high school     Let's do an etymological analysis of the word suicide -- you know how much I like to break down words on this podcast, so it's Time for Word Lore [cue sound effect]  Where does the English word Suicide come from? "deliberate killing of oneself," 1650s, from Modern Latin suicidium "suicide," from Latin sui "of oneself" (genitive of se "self") + -cidium "a killing," from caedere "to slay" or to strike oneself.   How serious is suicide?  Lets look the research, let's look at suicide this by the numbers [cue sound effect]  Fast Facts How many suicides worldwide each year?  About 800,000.   About 10 in 100,000 people die each year from suicide Worldwide, suicide accounts for 1.4% of all deaths.   Wide range of suicide rates.  98.3 per 100,000 in Greenland, 1.56 per 100,000 in Jamaica.  63X higher.   How many suicides in the US?  Drawing from CDC and NIMH According to the Center for Disease Control in 2020 -- 44.834 recorded suicides  14.5 deaths per 100,000 population  US Men more than 3X as likely as US women to suicide  Women 1.4X likely as men to attempt suicide -- use less lethal means  Long trend up from 1999 to 2017, leveled off and trending down over last three years.   How do people suicide Just a hair over 50% use a firearm  29% are by suffocation  13% are by poisoning   Catholics and suicide  Data from over the last century consistently reveal that Catholics have a lower suicide rate than Protestants.  Not a huge effect, but a persistent one, going all the way back to early social science measurement efforts in 1897 -- Emile Durkheim's work..  Even when controlling for a lot of variables, the denominational effect persisted.  Various factors proposed Fear of Hell, mortal sin -- Protestants more accepting of suicide  More communitarian approach than individualistic approach to religion and faith   Types of Suicide  Emile Durkheim -- French philosopher and early sociologist in the late 19 and early 20th Century -- principal architect, along with Max Weber of modern social sciences.  He created a normative theory of suicide focusing on the conditions of group life. Proposing four different types of suicide, which include egoistic, altruistic, anomic, and fatalistic, Durkheim began his theory by plotting social regulation on the x-axis of his chart, and social integration on the y-axis. Drawing from a blog post on the Management Development Institute of Singapore website by Dr Amir Singh from March 30, 2020  Egoistic suicide corresponds to a low level of social integration. When one is not well integrated into a social group it can lead to a feeling that they have not made a difference in anyone's lives.  when a man becomes socially isolated or feels that he has no place in the society he destroys himself. This is the suicide of self-centered person who lacks altruistic feelings and is usually cut off from main stream of the society. It is committed by individuals who are social outcast and see themselves as being alone or an outsider. These individuals are unable to find their own place in society and have problems adjusting to groups. They received little and no social care. Suicide is seen as a solution for them to free themselves from loneliness or excessive individuation.   Altruistic suicide corresponds to too much social integration. This occurs when a group dominates the life of an individual to a degree where they feel meaningless to society.  Altruistic suicide occurs when social group involvement is too high. Individuals are so well integrated into the group that they are willing to sacrifice their own life in order to fulfil some obligation for the group. Individuals kill themselves for the collective benefit of the group or for the cause that the group believes in. An example is someone who commits suicide for the sake of a religious or political cause, such as the infamous Japanese Kamikaze pilots of World War II, or the hijackers that crashed the airplanes into the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania in 2001. During World War II, Japanese Kamikaze pilots were willing to lay down their own lives for their countries in the hope that they will win the war. These pilots believed in their nation's cause and were willing to sacrifice their lives. Similarly, suicide bombers around the world were willing to give up their lives in order to make a political or religious statement because they firmly believed in their group's cause.   Anomic suicide occurs when one has an insufficient amount of social regulation. This stems from the sociological term anomie, meaning a sense of aimlessness or despair that arises from the inability to reasonably expect life to be predictable.  This type of suicide is due to certain breakdown of social equilibrium, such as, suicide after bankruptcy or after winning a lottery. In other words, anomic suicide takes place in a situation which has cropped up suddenly.  Anomic suicide is caused by the lack of social regulation and it occurs during high levels of stress and frustration. Anomic suicide stems from sudden and unexpected changes in situations. For example, when individuals suffer extreme financial loss, the disappointment and stress that individuals face may drive them towards committing suicide as a means of escape.   Fatalistic suicide results from too much social regulation. An example of this would be when one follows the same routine day after day. This leads to a belief that there is nothing good to look forward to. Durkheim suggested this was the most popular form of suicide for prisoners.  This type of suicide is due to overregulation in society. Under the overregulation of a society, when a servant or slave commits suicide, when a barren woman commits suicide, it is the example of fatalistic suicide.  Fatalistic suicide occurs when individuals are kept under tight regulation. These individuals are placed under extreme rules or high expectations are set upon them, which removes a person's sense of self or individuality. Slavery and persecution are examples of fatalistic suicide where individuals may feel that they are destined by fate to be in such conditions and choose suicide as the only means of escaping such conditions. In South Korea, celebrities are being put under strict regulations. There was a case where, a singer committed suicide due to exhaustion to keep up with society's rules and regulations. In 2017, celebrity Kim Jonghyun ended his life due to severe depression and the pressure of being in the spotlight as he felt that he  could not fulfil the society's expectations  of his performance (Lee, 2018).   Inadvertent or accidental Suicide  Example -- the Choking Game AKA Pass out challenge, flatlining, space monkey -- people strangle themselves to experience a euphoric high -- autoerotic asphyxiation.  Discussed this briefly in Episode 69.   Example -- drug overdose, heroine laced with fentanyl.   Example -- Driving while impaired with alcohol   Indirect Suicide -- not taking care of oneself -- poor health habits Smoking  Poor diabetes management  Risky driving  Excessive alcohol or drug use   Assisted Suicide -- also known as Mercy killing Risk Factors for Suicide  Commonly cited risk factors  VeryWell Mind By Nancy Schimelpfening reviewing recent research findings February 19, 2021  Mental Illness Most common -- severe depression -- blue deepening into black  Bipolar disorder -- the orange  Borderline Personality Disorder  Eating Disorders  Schizophrenia  I have a very different understanding of what's going with these conditions.   Traumatic Stress  Substance Use and Impulsivity   Loss or a fear of Loss Academic failure  Being arrested or imprisoned  Bullying, shaming, or humiliation, including cyberbullying   Financial problems  End of a close friendship or romantic relationship  Job loss  Loss of friends or family acceptance due to revealing your sexual orientation  Loss of social status   Hopelessness  Chronic Pain or Medical Illness  Feeling like a burden to others  Social Isolation  A Cry for Help -- not a cry for attention  Accidental Suicide   From Suicide Prevention Resource Center website Prior suicide attempt(s)   Misuse and abuse of alcohol or other drugs   Mental disorders, particularly depression and other mood disorders  Access to lethal means  Knowing someone who died by suicide, particularly a family member  Social isolation  Chronic disease and disability  Lack of access to behavioral health care   Precipitating factors are stressful events that can trigger a suicidal crisis in a vulnerable person.  Examples include: End of a relationship or marriage  Death of a loved one   An arrest    Serious financial problems Robin Hood investor   Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) Office of Suicide Prevention  -- Myths and Facts of Youth Suicide Sources    National Mental Health Association    Youth Suicide Prevention Education Program    The Trevor Project MYTH: Talking about suicide or asking someone if they feel suicidal will encourage suicide attempts. FACT: Talking about suicide provides the opportunity for communication. Fears shared are more likely to diminish. The first step in encouraging a person with thoughts of suicide to live comes from talking about those feelings. A simple inquiry about whether or not the person is intending to end their life can start the conversation. However, talking about suicide should be carefully managed. MYTH: Young people who talk about suicide never attempt or die by suicide. FACT: Talking about suicide can be a plea for help and it can be a late sign in the progression towards a suicide attempt. Those who are most at risk will show other signs apart from talking about suicide. If you have concerns about a young person who talks about suicide:     Encourage him/her to talk further and help them to find appropriate counseling assistance.    Ask if the person are thinking about making a suicide attempt.    Ask if the person has a plan.    Think about the completeness of the plan and how dangerous it is. Do not trivialise plans that seem less complete or less dangerous. All suicidal intentions are serious and must be acknowledged as such.    Encourage the young person to develop a personal safety plan. This can include time spent with others, check-in points with significant adults/ plans for the future. MYTH: A promise to keep a note unopened and unread should always be kept. FACT: Where the potential for harm, or actual harm, is disclosed then confidentiality cannot be maintained. A sealed note with the request for the note not to be opened is a very strong indicator that something is seriously amiss. A sealed note is a late sign in the progression towards suicide. MYTH: Suicide attempts or deaths happen without warning. FACT: The survivors of a suicide often say that the intention was hidden from them. It is more likely that the intention was just not recognized. These warning signs include:  These are really important     The recent suicide, or death by other means, of a friend or relative.    Previous suicide attempts.    Preoccupation with themes of death or expressing suicidal thoughts.    Depression, conduct disorder and problems with adjustment such as substance abuse, particularly when two or more of these are present.    Giving away prized possessions/ making a will or other final arrangements.    Major changes in sleep patterns - too much or too little.    Sudden and extreme changes in eating habits/ losing or gaining weight.    Withdrawal from friends/ family or other major behavioral changes.    Dropping out of group activities.    Personality changes such as nervousness, outbursts of anger, impulsive or reckless behavior, or apathy about appearance or health.    Frequent irritability or unexplained crying.     Lingering expressions of unworthiness or failure.    Lack of interest in the future.    A sudden lifting of spirits, when there have been other indicators, may point to a decision to end the pain of life through suicide. MYTH: If a person attempts suicide and survives, they will never make a further attempt.FACT: A suicide attempt is regarded as an indicator of further attempts. It is likely that the level of danger will increase with each further suicide attempt. MYTH: Once a person is intent on suicide, there is no way of stopping them.FACT: Suicides can be prevented. People can be helped. Suicidal crises can be relatively short-lived. Immediate practical help such as staying with the person, encouraging them to talk and helping them build plans for the future, can avert the intention to attempt or die by suicide. Such immediate help is valuable at a time of crisis, but appropriate counseling will then be required. MYTH: People who threaten suicide are just seeking attention.FACT: All suicide attempts must be treated as though the person has the intent to die. Do not dismiss a suicide attempt as simply being an attention-gaining device. It is likely the young person has tried to gain attention and, therefore, this attention is needed. The attention they get may well save their lives. -- Thinking of it as calling out for help.  Pejorative -- drama queen.   MYTH: Suicide is hereditary.FACT: Although suicide can be over-represented in families, attempts are not genetically inherited. Members of families share the same emotional environment, and the death by suicide of one family member may well raise the awareness of suicide as an option for other family members. MYTH: Only certain types of people become suicidal. -- My exampleFACT: Everyone has the potential for suicide. The evidence shows disposing conditions may lead to either suicide attempts or deaths. It is unlikely those who do not have the predisposing conditions (for example, depression, conduct disorder, substance abuse, feeling of rejection, rage, emotional pain and anger) will die by suicide. MYTH: Suicide is painless.  -- Remember the Song? FACT: Many suicide methods are very painful. Fictional portrayals of suicide do not usually include the reality of the pain.  Maybe 14 year old Michael Altman wasn't entirely correct. MYTH: Depression and self-destructive behavior are rare in young people.FACT: Both forms of behavior are common in adolescents. Depression may manifest itself in ways which are different from its manifestation in adults but it is prevalent in children and adolescents. Self-destructive behavior is most likely to be shown for the first time in adolescence and its incidence is on the rise. MYTH: All young people with thoughts of suicide are depressed.FACT: While depression is a contributory factor in most suicides, it need not be present for a person to attempt or die by suicide. MYTH: Marked and sudden improvement in the mental state of an attempter following a suicidal crisis or depressive period signifies the suicide risk is over.FACT: The opposite may be true. In the three months following an attempt, a young person is at most risk of dying by suicide. The apparent lifting of the problems could mean the person has made a firm decision to die by suicide and feels better because of this decision. MYTH: Once a young person thinks about suicide, they will forever think about suicide.FACT: Most young people who are considering suicide will only be that way for a limited period of their lives. Given proper assistance and support, they will probably recover and continue to lead meaningful and happy lives unhindered by suicidal concerns. MYTH: Young persons thinking about suicide cannot help themselves.FACT: While contemplating suicide, young people may have a distorted perception of their actual life situation and what solutions are appropriate for them to take. However, with support and constructive assistance from caring and informed people around them, young people can gain full self-direction and self-management in their lives. MYTH: The only effective intervention for suicide comes from professional psychotherapists with extensive experience in the area.FACT: All people who interact with adolescents in crisis can help them by way of emotional support and encouragement. Psychotherapeutic interventions also rely heavily on family, and friends providing a network of support. MYTH: Most young people thinking about suicide never seek or ask for help with their problems.FACT: Evidence shows that they often tell their school peers of their thoughts and plans. Most adults with thoughts of suicide visit a medical doctor during the three months prior to killing themselves. Adolescents are more likely to 'ask' for help through non-verbal gestures than to express their situation verbally to others. MYTH: Young people thinking about suicide are always angry when someone intervenes and they will resent that person afterwards.FACT: While it is common for young people to be defensive and resist help at first, these behaviors are often barriers imposed to test how much people care and are prepared to help. For most adolescents considering suicide, it is a relief to have someone genuinely care about them and to be able to share the emotional burden of their plight with another person. When questioned some time later, the vast majority express gratitude for the intervention. MYTH: Break-ups in relationships happen so frequently, they do not cause suicide.FACT: Suicide can be precipitated by the loss of a relationship. MYTH: Young people thinking about suicide are insane or mentally ill.FACT: Although adolescents thinking about suicide are likely to be extremely unhappy and may be classified as having a mood disorder, such as depression, most are not legally insane. However, there are small numbers of individuals whose mental state meets psychiatric criteria for mental illness and who need psychiatric help. MYTH: Most suicides occur in winter months when the weather is poor.FACT: Seasonal variation data are essentially based on adult suicides, with limited adolescent data available. However, it seems adolescent suicidal behavior is most common during the spring and early summer months. MYTH: Suicide is much more common in young people from higher (or lower) socioeconomic status (SES) areas.FACT: The causes of suicidal behavior cut across SES boundaries. While the literature in the area is incomplete, there is no definitive link between SES and suicide.

Next, we meet Leandra King, founder of family owned and operated Detroit Farm & Cider. www.detroitfarmandcider.com As a child growing up in a turbulent home with a mother who abused drugs, Leandra King constantly faced a paralyzing anxiety that would completely consume her. To calm down, she would find a quiet place outdoors and pile mud and dirt on her body. The outdoors was simply a positive space where she could go to escape that anxiety. About 18 months ago, she bought a four-acre plot of land and opened Detroit Farm and Cider: the first Black-owned cider mill in the country. She tells of her trials and successes.

A new study out this week suggests that you should avoid binge-watching your favourite show. New research out this week Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business shows that people who binge-watch shows on streaming services like Netflix enjoy it less than those who stagger how they watch a series."When people are allowed to consume enjoyable experiences like TV shows at their own pace, they experience a lot of what we call 'hedonic decline,'" says Professor Jeff Galak"On the other hand, when people are forced to slow down how quickly they consume, they tend to keep enjoying their favourite experiences for much longer,."It follows other research from earlier this year which showed that "people who felt under pressure from their workloads tended to find binge-watching as a way to distract themselves from their responsibilities" and "an American Academy of Sleep Medicine survey in 2019 found 88% of American Adults surveyed reported a lack of sleep due to binge-watching television and streaming series".Nanogirl Michelle Dickinson joined Francesca Rudkin to discuss the harms of binge-watching.LISTEN ABOVE

Sleep is essential for wellbeing and overall health.  We spend up to a third of our lives asleep and the general state of “sleep health” is an important question throughout our lifespan.  The CDC has estimated that 1 in 3 American Adults do not achieve the recommendation of at least 7 hours of sleep each night for adults aged 18–60 years. Inadequate sleep has been associated with an increased risk of developing chronic conditions such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and dementia.  Bryan James and Rachael Stolzenberg-Solomon host a discussion with Neil Caporaso, a Senior Investigator in the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch, in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the National Cancer Institute about the epidemiology and science of sleep and health.

A study suggests that the average American adult will spend a total of 44 years of staring at screen devices. The study, which was commissioned by online contact lens supplier Vision Direct, involved 2,000 adults in the United States. Participants in the study spent over 6,259 hours a year using electronic devices, such as laptops, televisions, and smartphones. This yearly average is equivalent to more than 382,652 hours or 44 years of the average adult's lifetime. Results further showed that the participants were glued to television screens for 4.5 hours and laptop screens for 5 hours each day. They also spent over 4 hours using smartphones and over 3 hours using gaming devices. Due to recent lockdowns, however, these times have increased to 6.5 hours, 7 hours, 6 hours, and 5 hours, respectively. When asked whether they felt productive during the long hours they spent on their devices, the respondents said that over 50% of their screen time felt unproductive. For respondents who were working from home, 25% of them felt less productive than ever before. Aside from its negative impact on productivity, long screen time can also affect physical health and relationships. Some of the respondents reported eye discomfort after long periods of screen time, while others said that they had fought with their partners over the amount of time they spend staring at their screen devices. Benjamin Dumaine, Vision Direct's head of business development, asserted that screen time is not entirely damaging. He believes that as long as people can limit screen time, they will be able to prevent any detrimental effects in the long run.

We love hearing from our fabulous Ketonian listeners with new questions–send an email to Jimmy at livinlowcarbman@charter.net. And if you’re not already subscribed to the podcast on iTunes and listened to the past episodes, then you can do that and leave a review HERE. Listen in today as Jimmy and Will answer your keto questions in Episode 105. HERE’S WHAT JIMMY AND WILL TALKED ABOUT IN EPISODE 105:  HOT TOPICS: 1. Are thyroid numbers supposed to dip below the lab ranges when you go keto? Is this normal? 2. Can the inflammation from a condition like fibromyalgia make it difficult to produce ketones? 3. What impact on your blood sugar and ketone levels does a steam room or infrared sauna have? 4. Does exercising allow me to consume more carbs while still maintaining a state of nutritional ketosis? 5. Why does the body have insulin at higher levels in a fasted state when there is no food around?

I tried it to find out – Ketogenic Diet: Which Patients Benefit? – Why am I still experiencing leg cramps from the keto flu when I am seemingly doing all the right things to prevent them? Hey Jimmy and Dr. Will, I have been on a ketogenic diet for the last three years and regularly see blood ketones at 1.5-2.0 as well as blood sugar from 65-70. I use intermittent fasting five days a week sometimes for up to 24 hours at a time. I’ve been experiencing some excruciating leg cramps at night despite what I thought was a foolproof electrolyte balance strategy—400mg chelated magnesium prior to bedtime, bone broth with pink Himalayan sea salt throughout the day, and a half avocado for potassium on days I am eating. I drink half my body weight in ounces of water for proper hydration. Additional, I take essential amino before intense workouts and L-Carnitine 4000mg in the morning five days a week. So why am I still having these cramps on both fasting and feasting days? What am I missing?

Hey Jimmy and Will, I need your help determining what the correct sodium:potassium ratio should be on a zero-carb, ketogenic diet. Here’s a little bit about me and my current routine: Info: weightlifter, sprinter, 33 years, 5' 11" male, 70-120 g protein/day, fat to satiety, 1/2 lb raw liver/wk, 2 cloves raw garlic/day, 1.5 g fish oil/day, 600 mg transdermal magnesium/day, 400 mg iodine/day (kelp), 1 g vit C/day (acerola cherry powder), 10 g glycine/day and an occasional scoop of collagen powder. SALT: If I supplement more than about 2 g of sodium a day (usually in 2 L water, Redmond Real Salt) I get nasal congestion and have NO IDEA why (vasodilation or constriction? blood pressure?). Yet in the keto community it is recommended to eat 4 g sodium/day or more. Are the amounts and ratio of sodium and potassium just very understudied and based on the shit standard diet? NOBODY seems to have a good grasp on this. POTASSIUM: Ideal potassium falls in the 2 - 4 g/day range. The fact that sodium helps retain potassium complicates this further. Also, I can't supplement with NoSalt (potassium chloride) because it's said to be dangerous (I take 500mg anyways and haven't noticed anything bad such as heart palps.) But, if I were to take 2 - 4 g would it be dangerous? I can't get this from vegetables because I'm zero carb, and how on earth did our ancestors get it? It makes zero sense to me that you would need to eat inordinate amounts of spinach and chard just to reach this questionable potassium goal. I feel like I really have this diet bolted down, but the lack of specificity with electrolytes in the community is majorly frustrating. Please drop a knowledge bomb on me.

Why am I short of breath the day after interval training since I shifted over from carb-loading to a ketogenic diet? Hey Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I have been a carb-loading cyclist for many years and switched over to the low-carb/high-fat diet about 5 months ago. My problem is that I can go out for an hour of interval training on my bike and the very next day I am short of breath when going up a flight of stairs. I am 67 years old, 5' 10”, and weigh 163 pounds. I do not have any of the old cycling problems of blood sugar swings and can go for many hours before getting hungry in the morning. So why the shortness of breath? Thanks for your insights. Bob 3. Does a resting heart rate in the 40’s/50’s after adopting a ketogenic diet mean something bad is happening to my health? Dear Jimmy and Will, I have been eating keto for the past year and have seen incredible effects on my weight and health markers. However, I noticed my blood pressure and resting heart rate have come way down since adopting this way of eating. My BP has always been on the lower end, but my resting heart rate is regularly down in the 50’s and sometimes even the 40’s now. My cardiologist said it’s because of my weight loss and exercise routine, but this seems to have happened suddenly over the past three months. I’ve read various reports online stating how a low-carb, ketogenic diet will make your heart rate drop to dangerous levels and I’m now concerned. Should I be?

Hi guys, If someone is eating low-carb, but not keto (between 50-100g net carbs/day), is it still safe for them to be eating the same volume of dietary fat as someone restricting their carbohydrates below the suggested 20-50g/day on a well-formulated ketogenic diet? In other words, is a high-fat diet that is not putting you in a state of nutritional ketosis causing more harm than good? Thanks for the clarification.

We're starting off season two by discussing topics that for decades have been considered inappropriate unless discussed behind closed doors. However, in the words of James of Baldwin, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” In the spirit of addressing things in a direct manner we decided to have a holistic conversation about sex. This episode was inspired by a talk given by Pastor, Author, and Speaker Toure' Roberts, entitled Sexual Wholeness! This encouraged us to think critically about how we discuss sex in today's culture and about the multiple perspectives we all have.  Take Root & Give Back: We Highlighted the organization, The Eastside Cultural Arts Center Reading is Good for the Soil(Mind): Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry (Mildred D.

Interview: Sandwiches make up a substantial part of the American diet and are a significant contributor to daily energy and sodium intake. By closely analyzing data from the federal nationwide dietary intake survey known as "What We Eat in America NHANES 2009-2010," a team of Department of Agriculture (USDA) researchers found that on any given day 49 percent of U.S. adults eat at least one sandwich, and sandwiches account for one-fifth of total daily sodium intake.Rhonda Sebastian and Cecilia Wilkinson Enns discuss the results of this study and implications for dietitians.

Do your family dinners count? I was 33 and I had five major dreams attained. Handsome husband, check. Three beautiful kids, check. A design company of my own, check. Home owner, check. A white picket fence, check. These were dreams embedded deep in my soul, since the days of lemonade stands and doll play, and 90210 episodes. But all the sudden they felt not enough. My dreams were changing. I was struggling in my role of mom. I was exhausted. I did not know how to cook, and I was being tested by a long list of home items that simply did not exist before kids. My new dreams included a full night's sleep, 10 minutes to take a shower without being interrupted, a day away (anywhere) from my family, I'm kidding, a little, but really, what I most wanted was a personal chef..., who would feed all of us and wash the dishes. But somehow those dreams felt wrong. I was a mom, and moms happily make dinner. The thing I have not mentioned is I gained 85 pounds in my first pregnancy and did not lose it. One day at my office, at about 3pm. I remember looking up at a stack of Starbucks cups — maybe five — that had collected over the course of the day. I remember thinking I have to get home soon to the kids. I remember wondering what they should have for dinner. I remember feeling exhausted and wondering how that was possible after all that coffee. I remember knowing that something had to change. So that day, staring at the coffee cups, I decided to tackle the one thing that felt tangible, my weight. And the next day — with a little help from a coach — I changed my food. I had been on a few diets in my life, but this one was different. I was eating real food. I tell people the weight melted off. but I am not sure that it was that it happened so fast or it just did not matter. Within days, I was off 3 medicines that I took daily, and my energy was off the charts (with no coffee!) I understood for the first time in my life that what I ate was attached to how I feel. How could I not have known this? I had added in foods that I had not known existed 2 weeks prior, or if I did, I would have definitely not known what to do with them - kale, collards, cacoa, nori, saurerkraut. . I needed to get my oxygen mask on first, and once it was securely on, I turned my eyes and heart to my 4-year old daughter who was not thriving. She did not pay attention in school, she had a hard time sleeping, and she was covered in eczema. And nothing that doctors were prescribing was working — from therapy or cream. Luckily, I was able to turn to food. One week after no dairy and no gluten, we had a different child. She was rash free, and her teacher felt she had a new child in the classroom. Meanwhile, I had dove into the world of food. I did this by talking to every health “guru” who would take my call. I learned so much about food and ingredients from this group, but the thing that stuck out to me most was that lots of their kids rebelled and left the house to eat crap. And this is when I realized my work as a mom was one part food and one part parenting. My goal became learning how to raise kids who would someday become healthy adults. And to be clear, by healthy I mean mean using all the tools that are in our control and come from the natural world  to avoid sickness and brain fog  — food, sleep, water, exercise to name a few. We almost always look at what we need to eliminate when we think of getting healthy, whether it's our health, our kids health or our family's health, but it is also important to think about what we are putting in — from fruits and veggies to our day to day experiences. I know the minute I talk about “adding” anything it can feel overwhelming. Who has time to add one more thing? And it's that concern that is at the very heart of what I want to share with you today. The food you eat really does make a difference to your health. Nine servings of fruits and veggies a day. That's the latest recommendation from the new dietary guidelines released by the departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services. Lots of research suggests that a diet high in fruits and veggies can lower blood pressure. 1 in 3 American Adults suffer from high blood pressure. In fact, studies show that a diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar which can help keep appetite in check. (Harvard School of Public Health) Remember how I said eventually the weight did not matter? Let me explain. My entire teen and adult life I took a hormone medicine to get my period that made me super depressed. 5 days after I changed my diet, I got a period and it has been regular ever since. Everyday of my adult life, I took medicine for seasonal allergies, so my drooping puffy eyes would not affect my business. One week in, no more allergy medicine. Energy off the charts. Skin glowing. A year in, I had not taken an antibiotic for my chronic ear infections. In fact, I had not had an ear infection. It has been 7 years now that I've been ear infection free. I know that it can feel difficult to add fruits and veggies when we aren't in a fruit and veggie culture. We are living in a narrative that says organic cheezy bunny crackers are good for us, donuts are awesome, and why deprive a kid of their childhood? In fact  why would we prevent our kids from little league, ballet, art class, or  a playdate? Or any of the 100 other activities that keep us busy, and may be preventing us from getting dinner on the table. Which leads me to the second thing we need — a way to add in more quality time with our families through meals. This is a big deal. According to The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, kids and teens who share family dinners three or more times per week: Are less likely to be overweight Are more likely to eat healthy food Perform better academically Are less likely to engage in risky behaviors (drugs, alcohol, sexual activity) Have better relationships with their parents Whether good or bad, my guess is you can map some of your food habits back to the kitchen you grew up in. In my case, we always had dinner together, but I grew up when microwaves came out, TV dinners were the rage, and take out and fast food were a novelty. So we indulged in all of them! It was not about the food. My guess is that if you are anything like me, food and family dinners can feel like a full-time job assignment, but we don't have full-time hours to assign to this task. And if you are really like me, you might not even want to spend those hours in the kitchen, even if you had them! And that's what I'm excited to share with you. A way to make all of this happen that works for you, that works for your family. We don't have to do all of this at once. In fact, we are far more likely to have success in the long run if we take on one doable change at a time, and focus how to do or consume our doable change in a way that fots into our calendar and lifestyle. You do have to try to fit it. Experiment with one healthy change a week that will help you change your mind about food or time. I have expanded of 7 of my doable change: 101 Doable Changes 7 Doable Mindset Changes 7 Doable Kitchen Changes 7 Doable Planning Changes 7 Doable Family-focused Changes 7 Doable Food Changes 7 Doable Changes of the 2.0 Variety Focusing on something each week creates momentum. I have a feeling that you already knew that a clean diet that consists of lots of fruits and veggies is the way to go before I started talking. We grew up with the phase “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Or “eat your veggies before leaving the table.” Many of us grew up eating as a family around a table. Somewhere our parents made it look easy, or maybe too hard. Somewhere along the line the grocery store got really complicated with 100s of breakfast cereals, each more exciting than the next to a child's eye. Somewhere, we got too busy. But we know the positive impact of fruits and vegetables and coming together each night. And if I, a non-cooking mom, who had never tried kale or sushi before age 30, who escaped to work in the early days of motherhood to have a break, can make healthy work in my kitchen, then I promise so can you. Now that you have some strategies that you can start experimenting with in your home, I need you to take a step back and really feel why you want to be healthier and happier in the first place. I need you to want to step into this role. I need you to understand the importance that dinner at your table will have on your future, your kids future and your larger community. It is a ripple effect. Imagine that you feel amazing because of the food you are feeding your body. That means you have energy with or without a cup of coffee. You rarely get sick, but when you do, you bounce back quickly. Your mind feels clear. Imagine that throwing together a meal is not stressful. Not because you have miraculously turned into June Cleaver or Martha Stewart but because you feel great and you know what you have to do and when you have to do it! Imagine that dinners are a time you look forward to because you get to connect with your kids. And even when you have a bad day, you know what an impact this 30 minutes has on your children's future — emotionally and healthwise. Heck, if you are really present and honest, it has this effect on you. I am not saying this path is easy. But it is important. And it can be simple. What is your next doable change? What one think will you focus on next week? That is all you need to know right now. And then you just have to play with it, and make it work in your life. If you have gotten this far, you will want to sign up for the calendar cleanse. It is free, and will guide you with a simple calendar prompt each day that will give you time for food — time you already have but got lost in the shuffle of parenting.
