Podcasts about Azadi

As Iran navigates an age of uncertainty, Azadi remains both a memory and a hope. Its meanings have shifted—but its power endures. By reimagining freedom not as a fixed ideal but as an evolving civic practice rooted in ethics, dignity, and dialogue, Iranians may find in it not just resistance to the past but a blueprint for the future.

What if your body wasn't designed to be sick? What if those nagging symptoms you've been fighting aren't problems at all, but messages—your body's desperate attempt to communicate that something deeper needs attention?In this revealing conversation, metabolic health expert and my good friend Ben Azadi introduces his new book "Metabolic Freedom," explaining why an astonishing 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy and what we can do about it. Rather than focusing on niche approaches like strict keto or extended fasting, Azadi presents a comprehensive framework accessible to everyone, addressing the five root causes behind metabolic dysfunction.One of the most alarming revelations? You could have full-blown insulin resistance for 6-14 years while still showing "perfect" blood sugar readings on standard tests. Your pancreas compensates by pumping out massive amounts of insulin until it simply can't keep up anymore. By then, you're already deep in the disease process. Ben makes a compelling case for requesting fasting insulin tests rather than relying solely on glucose measurements that miss this critical early warning.The conversation explores how true metabolic freedom means having a body that can effortlessly use whatever fuel is available—carbs, protein, fat, or stored body fat—to generate steady energy without constant snacking or stimulants. Ben breaks down the powerful healing cascade that happens during fasting, from completed digestion at 14 hours to enhanced cellular cleanup (autophagy) at 16-17 hours and increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor at the 24-hour mark.Beyond food timing, we look at the devastating impact of environmental toxins he classifies as "obesogens" and "diabetogens"—compounds found in everything from plastic containers to cash register receipts that directly promote weight gain and blood sugar dysfunction. Whether you're just beginning your health journey or deeply familiar with metabolic concepts, this conversation offers practical wisdom for reclaiming your body's natural state of health through a 30-day plan designed to restore your metabolic freedom.https://www.benazadi.com/Lies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter - https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (20% off 'LUFKIN20') https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (15% off) https://pathlongevity.com/Mimio Health (15% off 'LUFKIN') https://mimiohealth.sjv.io/c/5810114/2745519/30611 Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertlufkinmd Threads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdBluesky: ...

Our next guest is insatiably curious, hyper-focused, and charismatic. I got the sense that he's always all in on the task at hand. That being said, he's balancing a family, a full-time job as Chief Innovation Officer/Senior Partner at Cultivate, and slowly growing a Chicago-based brewery with Indian heritage. The first half of the episode was a reflection on his coming of age and how we can affect culture. The second half was a reflection on what beer means to us and how Azadi Brewing got their start with Pilot Project.

Visceral fat is the white fat around your organs. This shows up visibly on your body in the form of excess belly fat, love handles and extra fat around your hips. Not only is this type of fat visually unappealing, it's VERY dangerous because this fat causes inflammation inside your body leading to chronic disease. I'll be sharing with you the 7 worst things in the world that feed visceral fat and an early death… The first thing is microplastics…. The second thing is high fructose corn syrup. The next item is artificial sweeteners. Next we have alcohol. Next we have Seed oils. Next we have GMO foods with glyphosate. Lastly we have Chronic Stress / Lack of Sleep, RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS LESSON  

Today, I am blessed to have JJ Virgin here with me. As a triple-board certified nutrition expert and Fitness Hall of Famer, JJ is a passionate advocate of nutrition's healing power and is mission-driven to ignite a movement of women choosing to age powerfully. After decades of watching women strive to shrink themselves, JJ is urging women to step into their power—physically and personally. Using her principles of powerful aging, she inspires women to get strong, bold, and get what they want in life. In this episode, JJ emphasizes that many people focus on minor details, like specific diets or exercises, instead of prioritizing the big rocks—the major actions that make the biggest impact. First and foremost, she advises prioritizing protein at meals, especially eating it first. Protein is metabolically expensive to digest, helps manage hunger, reduces cravings, and is crucial for building muscle. A comprehensive approach combining resistance training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and consistent movement is essential to optimize body fat loss and overall fitness. Full-body workouts outperform split routines for body composition, while HIIT is particularly effective at reducing visceral fat. A foundational practice is tracking daily steps, aiming for at least 8,000 steps, gradually progressing to higher intensity by adding resistance, like a rucking vest.

Today, I'm blessed to welcome back Dr. Ken Berry, who has joined us on the show before to share his invaluable insights. He is a family physician, speaker, and author based in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S. Dr. Berry received a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in Animal Biology and Psychology, from Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 1996. He received his MD from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2000. In this episode, Dr. Ken Berry advocates for the carnivore diet as one of the best dietary approaches for longevity due to its very low carbohydrate content, ability to reduce inflammation, and effectiveness in triggering satiety hormones. He argues that meat from domesticated animals is among the least inflammatory foods available, unlike plants, which have evolved chemical defense mechanisms that can cause inflammation in humans. Dr. Ken Berry says the carnivore diet is a powerful tool for those with autoimmune diseases, explaining that such conditions arise from a confused and misdirected immune system, not an "overactive" one. He criticizes conventional medical approaches that focus on suppressing the immune system rather than addressing the root causes of inflammation, often found in dietary choices. Many doctors fail to check A1C and fasting insulin levels, which can lead to missed early diagnoses of type 2 diabetes, resulting in years of preventable damage to the body. The problem stems from the reliance on fasting blood glucose tests alone, which can appear normal even in patients with dangerously high A1C levels.

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

It's a pleasure to welcome Dr. Chris Knobbe back to the show. He is a physician, ophthalmologist, nutrition researcher, author, speaker, public health advocate, and the founder of two nonprofit organizations: Ancestral Health Foundation and Cure AMD Foundation. Since 2015, Dr. Knobbe has given scores of presentations and achieved international academic recognition for his work on the dangers of highly polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Dr. Knobbe's goals are altruistic and humanitarian; he accepts no compensation for his work in this field. In this episode, Dr. Knobbe argues that seed oils are hazardous, contributing significantly to obesity and chronic diseases. He explains that the high Omega-6 fatty acid content in these oils accumulates in our body fat and cell membranes, creating a pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory environment. This oxidative stress, rather than inflammation, is the primary issue, leading to cellular damage, particularly in mitochondria, which disrupts energy production. Tune in as Dr. Knobbe argues that diabetes prevalence isn't primarily linked to sugar consumption, contrary to common belief. He highlights historical data showing minimal correlation between sugar intake and diabetes rates, noting that while sugar intake increased modestly, diabetes rates skyrocketed. Instead, he points to the dramatic rise in vegetable oil consumption, describing these oils as chronic metabolic poisons that cause insulin resistance by damaging mitochondria through oxidative stress.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Alan Goldhamer here with me. He is the founder of TrueNorth Health Center, a state-of-the-art facility that provides medical and chiropractic services, psychotherapy and counseling, as well as massage and body work. He is also director of the Center's groundbreaking residential health education program. In this episode, Dr. Goldhamer emphasizes the necessity of fasting as a response to dietary excess, which he identifies as a leading cause of prevalent health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and cancer. He describes visceral fat, which accumulates around the organs, as particularly harmful, likening it to a tumor that secretes inflammatory substances. The modern diet, laden with hyper-concentrated substances like salt, oil, and sugar, tricks the brain into overeating by artificially stimulating dopamine. This leads to widespread obesity and related diseases.  Dr. Goldhamer emphasizes that accurately measuring autophagy, especially minute-by-minute, is extremely challenging due to biological limitations, even in animal studies. While biomarkers can offer a generalized picture of autophagy, developing non-invasive, reliable indicators remains difficult. He underscores that acute responses, necessary for health, complicate precise measurement.

Today, I am blessed to have Shane O'Mara here with me. He is a Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin - the University of Dublin. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from NUI Galway and a DPhil from the University of Oxford. He is a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin (FTCD), and was the first Ireland-based elected Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science (FAPS) and is an elected member of the Royal Irish Academy (MRIA). He has a popular newsletter at brainpizza.substack.com - signup for slices of writing on brains, behavior, and lots in between… In this episode, Shane highlights that all public health agencies advocate for at least three to five hours of exercise per week because our bodies are designed for movement. Sedentary habits can lead to high blood glucose, type 2 diabetes, undesirable cholesterol accumulation, and increased inflammation. Tune in as we talk about how an active lifestyle is beneficial while inactivity is harmful. Exercise lowers cancer rates, especially bowel cancer. Aging increases disease risk, but a healthy body improves cell function and reduces cancer risk. To enhance your health, avoid smoking, vaping, excessive drinking, and consume a diet low in ultra-processed foods and saturated fats. Social connections are vital for mental well-being; humans' social and cooperative nature has been key to our success.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Georgia Ede here with me. She is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist specializing in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Her twenty-five years of experience include twelve years at Smith College and Harvard University Health Services, where she was the first to offer nutrition-based therapies as an alternative to psychiatric medication. Dr. Ede speaks internationally about nutrition science and dietary approaches to psychiatric conditions and developed the first and only medically accredited Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health Clinician Training Program. In 2022, she co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for serious mental illness and was named a recipient of the Baszucki Brain Research Fund's Metabolic Mind Award. In this episode, Dr. Ede identifies the most harmful foods contributing to brain decline and chronic disease as refined carbohydrates, refined vegetable oils, alcohol, grains, and legumes. She explains that refined carbohydrates, such as sugar and flour, and seed oils, like soybean and canola oil, undergo extensive processing that strips them of natural properties, leading to excessive linoleic acid intake. Tune in as Dr. Ede emphasizes that a ketogenic diet is not a list of foods but a powerful metabolic intervention that can significantly alter the brain's functioning. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, individuals can lower their insulin levels, which is crucial for entering ketosis.

Today, I am blessed to have Mike Mutzel here with me. Mike has a B.S. in Biology from Western Washington University and an M.S. in Clinical Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport and is a graduate of the Institute for Functional Medicine's (IFM) Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP). Mike regularly conducts workshops for health care practitioners, teaching leading-edge science in a concise format that can be utilized by progressive clinicians for the prevention of chronic disease. In this episode, Mike emphasizes walking as an essential part of daily life, regardless of diet or fasting regimen. He highlights studies showing that aiming for around 9,000 steps a day can significantly benefit overall health, with 12,000 steps daily helping to prevent various diseases. For those specifically looking to lose belly fat, Mike suggests breaking up walks into "exercise snacks," such as three or four sessions of 2,500 to 3,000 steps spread throughout the day. Tune in as Mike emphasizes exercise's significant role in enhancing fasting's benefits, particularly regarding autophagy. In this process, the body cleanses damaged cells and regenerates new ones. He discusses a study that showed physically fit individuals initiated autophagy markers much earlier in fasting than sedentary individuals.

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

Today, I am fortunate to have Dr. Don Clum with me for the fourth time. He is the founder and owner of Insulin Friendly Living, a virtual practice specializing in insulin resistance and advanced metabolic nutrition.  In this episode, Dr. Don Clum explains that one in eight adults in the United States, or around 40 million people, are taking Ozempic or similar GLP-1 drugs primarily for weight loss. He highlights that these drugs work by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates insulin secretion and hunger signals. However, the drugs cause side effects by artificially creating a feeling of fullness, leading to nausea, vomiting, and severe digestive issues like gastroparesis. Additionally, long-term use can result in muscle wasting and insulin resistance as the body adapts to the drug's high levels of GLP-1, causing significant metabolic imbalances and potential health risks.

Today, I am fortunate to welcome Spencer Feldman back to the show for the fourth time. Spencer is the founder of https://remedylink.com/ — where, for the last 20 years, he has been formulating and manufacturing detoxification products for doctors and their patients. His company specializes in helping support your body's natural responses to heavy metal toxins.  Spencer discusses three severe diagnoses: Lyme disease, cancer, and gadolinium poisoning, with the latter being potentially the worst. He focuses on cancer, emphasizing the need for better understanding due to its prevalence. Criticizing the conventional "war on cancer" approach, he prefers the term "feral tissue" to reflect that cancerous cells were once normal. Later, Spencer explains that short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are produced in the large intestine's microbiome and can injure tissues. When injured, tissue converts into stem cells to aid repair, which he likens to the transformation seen in cancerous or "feral" tissue. He suggests this may be an intentional response to injury rather than a mistake.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. William Li here with me. He is a world-renowned physician, scientist, speaker, and author of EAT TO BEAT DISEASE – The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself.  In this episode, Dr. Li explains the significant connection between visceral fat and cancer, emphasizing that advanced cancer treatments are closely tied to our diet and metabolism. He likens cancer cells to normal cells gone rogue, feeding off the body and thriving on inflammation, often fueled by excess body fat. Dr. Li highlights that even supposedly healthy foods, like diet soda and low-fat yogurt, can be detrimental. Artificial sweeteners and emulsifiers in these products disrupt the gut microbiome, increasing inflammation and visceral fat. He advocates for whole foods, such as Greek yogurt with fresh fruits and nuts, and beverages, like iced tea or coffee with beneficial polyphenols, as healthier alternatives that support metabolic health and potentially mitigate cancer growth. Tune in as Dr. Li emphasizes the importance of sleep for health, highlighting that it's rarely taught or discussed. He explains that sleep isn't merely a state of inactivity; instead, it's a time when the body undergoes vital processes like immune system strengthening, toxin clearance from the brain, and metabolic regulation. Dr. Li elaborates on how the brain has a glymphatic system that removes accumulated toxins during quality sleep. He also connects sleep with metabolic health, explaining how our circadian rhythm dictates when our body should store and burn energy. Additionally, he discusses the negative impact of night shifts on metabolism and health, stressing the importance of good sleep hygiene and self-compassion for those who work at night.

Today, I am blessed to have Josh Trent here with me. Host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, creator of the Liberated Life Tribe and BREATHE: Breath + Wellness. Josh has spent the past 21+ years as a trainer, researcher and facilitator discovering the wellness and wisdom for himself and humans to thrive in our modern world. His mission is to help humans LIBERATE their mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial selves through podcasts, programs, and global tribe that believe in optimizing our potential to THRIVE. In this episode, Josh emphasizes the importance of listening to one's body and mind, focusing on breathwork. He argues that modern life often distracts us from hearing our true needs. By learning to listen to our physical and mental signals, starting with proper breathing, we can reclaim our power and make conscious choices aligned with our true selves. Josh also highlights the influence of intimate relationships and the environment on our internal state. He suggests practical steps like emotional inventories to address pain and cultivate gratitude, advocating for honest self-assessment and the courage to seek support and make meaningful changes. Josh believes every criticism, no matter how harsh, contains a small kernel of truth. Reflecting on a polarizing episode about circumcision that clashed with religious beliefs and sparked backlash, he stresses addressing criticisms with facts instead of personal attacks. In the past, such negativity might have triggered him, but now he focuses on maintaining pure intentions, which makes one impervious to criticism. Tune in as Josh emphasizes conscious breathing and emotional inventory as key practices for mental clarity and purpose, leading to a liberated, secret-free life.

It's an absolute delight to welcome Martha Carlin back for her third appearance on the show today! Martha Carlin is a “Citizen Scientist,” systems thinker, wife of Parkinson's warrior John Carlin, and founder of The BioCollective, a microbiome company expanding the reach of science and BiotiQuest, the first of its kind probiotic line. In this episode, we engage in an in-depth conversation about the critical role of the gut microbiome in metabolic health and overall well-being. Martha explains that the gut microbiome is fundamental to metabolic health, with significant shifts in the microbiome influencing metabolism, particularly insulin sensitivity.  Tune in as Martha emphasizes that while indigenous populations show greater microbial diversity, much is still unknown about the effects of various diets, like the ketogenic diet, on the microbiome. Martha acknowledges that meat contains unique fibers like hyaluronic acid that support connective tissue health. While fiber is often considered beneficial, its role can be overrated if the gut microbiome is compromised. Martha explains her reservations about plant-based fibers due to chemical contamination and stresses the importance of a healthy microbiome for overall health.

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

Today, I am blessed to have Mary Ruddick here with me. Dubbed the "Sherlock Holmes of Health" for her unique ability to expeditiously assess and remediate rare neuromuscular conditions that others have deemed impossible, Mary Ruddick can regularly be found endangering herself in the untouched corners of the world to learn from and distill the wisdom from the last remaining traditional cultures.  She shares her findings and knowledge via her sought after keynote speeches, 100+ podcast appearances, her published articles, and her work both in front and behind the camera.  In this episode, Mary argues that traditional diets, which universally include animal products, have supported excellent health in indigenous communities worldwide. She contrasts this with modern, often vegan, diets promoted in Western societies, which she associates with a rise in diseases. Mary highlights the historical mishandling of certain foods, such as corn, leading to widespread nutritional deficiencies like pellagra due to a lack of proper processing knowledge. She suggests that many modern health problems arise from nutritional misunderstandings and a failure to acknowledge the benefits of animal-based diets. Despite recognizing the temporary benefits of vegan diets, Mary warns that they lack the nutrients needed for health and rebuilding the body. Tune in as Mary explains that H. pylori is a necessary bacterium that should ideally reside on the tips of the villi in a healthy gut, but damage to the microbiome and villi can cause it to migrate into cracks, leading to problems. She critiques current stool-based microbiome testing as limited, noting that while diverse diets correlate with healthier microbiomes, this relationship is oversimplified. Mary emphasizes the significant impact of lifestyle factors like light exposure and stress on the microbiome and highlights how other cultures have long integrated microbiome considerations into medical practices.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Jonathan Fields here with me. He is an internationally known Acupuncture Physician, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Martial Arts Instructor, and Public Speaker. He was born into a medical family, grew up in martial arts, and had a background in music and design. After a serious health crisis of his own yielded no results from conventional medicine, he was able to heal with Acupuncture, Herbs, & Functional Medicine. Thankful for his miracle recovery, he dedicated the rest of his life to helping others in similar situations. In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Fields shares his favorite strategies for slowing the aging process and promoting vitality. He emphasizes the critical importance of staying hydrated, highlighting how dehydration can affect various bodily functions and overall well-being. He stresses the need for good-quality water intake to maintain skin health, hormone balance, and energy levels. He advocates keeping glucose levels in check and adopting a personalized, low-carb diet to support fat-burning, energy production, and overall health. Dr. Fields advises against rigid dietary dogmas and emphasizes the importance of dietary diversity. Plus, Dr. Fields underscores the need to minimize exposure to toxins in everyday products, including personal care items, household goods, and food. Tune in as Dr. Fields shares his personal journey of struggling with chronic health issues and his frustration with the conventional medical system's inability to help him. After finding relief through holistic approaches, including dietary changes, supplementation, and Eastern medicine practices, he felt called to pursue a career in alternative medicine.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Cate here with me. Cate Shanahan, MD, “The Energy Guru,” is a Cornell-trained physician-scientist whose works have inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed oil-free business empires. Together with NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the LA Lakers PRO Nutrition program, which has been emulated by elite championship teams around the world. She has dedicated her career to exposing the truth about a decades old campaign of health misinformation and opening the door to an honest conversation about how anyone can reclaim their health. She runs a health-education website, DrCate.com, a telehealth practice, and lives with her family on a peaceful lake in Florida. In this episode, Dr. Cate explains the negative impact of vegetable oils on our health. These oils, such as soy, corn, and canola, differ chemically from traditional fats, leading to cellular degeneration, inflammatory diseases, and premature aging. Dr. Cate elucidates how unstable fatty acids in vegetable oils react with oxygen, generating toxins that harm our mitochondria and alter body fat composition, complicating weight management. She discusses the intricate process of oil extraction and refining, which produces harmful byproducts that can cause inflammation and organ damage. Tune in as Dr. Cate explains how vegetable oils have permeated the average grocery store, appearing in condiments, preserved vegetables, frozen foods, and prepared meals. She dives into how these oils contribute to weight gain by altering metabolism and fuel utilization. Dr. Cate describes how cells, unable to efficiently burn body fat due to the presence of vegetable oils, rely more on sugar for energy, leading to increased hunger and potential muscle breakdown. She empowers individuals to make healthier choices and regain control of their metabolic health through practical strategies like ordering food cooked in butter.

Today, I am blessed to have Zane Griggs here with me. Zane Griggs has been helping people improve their metabolic health and fitness as a personal trainer since 1998. He is the host of the Healthy A.F. / Healthy After Fifty podcast, where he discusses practical strategies for unlocking optimal health and longevity. He also provides group coaching to the community in the Healthy AF Club. Zane's focus is to empower people to take charge of their health through the lifestyle decisions they make every day. In this episode, Zane argues that the rise in metabolic diseases is closely linked to the increased consumption of processed foods. He emphasizes that these diseases were rare before processed foods, which now constitute 60-70% of the average American diet, became prevalent. Processed foods, which include refined oils, sugars, and grains, are nutritionally deficient and highly palatable, leading to overconsumption and metabolic dysfunction. He suggests eliminating processed foods should be the first step toward improving health. Tune in as Zane underscores the necessity of strength training for fat loss, as it enhances insulin sensitivity and builds lean muscle mass, which serves as a storage for glucose. This process helps in managing blood sugar levels and reversing weight gain. He advises integrating strength training into a routine, suggesting two to three sessions per week for beginners and complementing it with light cardio post-strength training for optimal results.

He emphasizes the importance of updating one's environment and relationships to sustain this newfound freedom.

This includes meaningful exercise, stress reduction techniques such as prayer, meditation, or yoga, regular diagnostics to track health trends, and cleaning up nutrition by focusing on a healthy eating plan.  Additionally, the importance of minimizing alcohol consumption is underscored, given its detrimental effects on overall health and hormonal balance. [21:40] Medications and Their Impact on Hormone Health Dr. Rob highlights the detrimental effects of various medications and environmental toxins on hormone function.  He discusses how medications such as ADHD medications, anxiolytics, antidepressants, and statins can negatively impact hormone production and function.  [30:50] Early Challenges in Testosterone Therapy Dr. Rob reflects on the early stages of his career when he encountered challenges in prescribing testosterone due to limited data and prevailing myths.  Despite facing skepticism and concerns from mentors about potential risks associated with testosterone therapy, Dr. Rob persisted in his efforts to explore alternative dosing regimens based on clinical observations and insights from bodybuilders.  [45:50] An Individualized Approach to Testosterone Therapy One key takeaway from Dr. Rob's perspective on testosterone therapy is the individualized approach to treatment.  He emphasizes that the decision to discontinue testosterone therapy depends on various factors, including age, underlying health conditions, and the specific needs of the patient.

It programs our endocrine system, circadian rhythm, and nervous system. Excessive exposure to artificial light, particularly at night, has detrimental effects on hormonal balance and overall health. Chronic disruption of our natural circadian due to inadequate exposure to sunlight and excessive exposure to artificial light can lead to health issues, including disrupted sleep, increased inflammation, and metabolic imbalances. [11:30] Embracing Morning Light Step outside and experience natural morning light upon waking instead of turning to artificial sources. Morning light signals the start of the day to our internal clock. Natural light triggers the production of hormones that contribute to feelings of energy. Morning light can influence our circadian rhythms and set a beneficial tone for the day ahead.  [22:30] Grounding for Wellness There are benefits of stepping outside and removing one's shoes to connect with the Earth's magnetic field.  This connection allows the body to discharge excess electrical charge accumulated from exposure to artificial sources of electricity. Grounding yourself on the Earth can mitigate inflammation. It's important to experience morning sunlight and pay attention to the specific frequencies of light, such as UVA, that contribute to hormonal balance. [34:50] The Healing Power of Sunlight We discuss studies demonstrating the health benefits of sunlight exposure, particularly its effects on nitric oxide production, heart efficiency, weight loss, and hormone levels.  Sunlight stimulates the thyroid gland, increases metabolism and fat burning, and enhances sex hormone production. It facilitates the production of structured water inside and around cells, which promotes blood flow and nutrient delivery. [40:40] Health Risks Associated with Skin Tone Roudy highlights the differences in susceptibility to chronic diseases, weight gain, and metabolic problems among individuals with varying skin tones.  People with darker skin, particularly those of African origins accustomed to high UV environments, may face increased health risks when moving to regions with lower UV exposure, such as northern latitudes.  [58:40] Lighting the Path to Well-Being Create an optimal environment to support well-being. Pay attention to the quality of light entering our eyes, as light influences various aspects of our biology, from sleep quality to mood and productivity. Light exposure affects metabolic processes, including glucose regulation and nutrient absorption.

This accessibility is highlighted through technological advancements, making it possible to achieve desired results effectively. While the focus may be on addressing specific concerns like stubborn cellulite, Dr. Patel underscores the importance of viewing health holistically. By activating organs like the gallbladder and liver to eliminate excess fat, the process targets superficial issues and promotes overall wellness. [06:50] Revolutionizing Glutathione Delivery Traditional methods of administering glutathione, such as injections, have limitations. These methods often result in the kidneys' rapid filtration of glutathione, leading to minimal absorption. Conventional glutathione supplementation does not adequately raise glutathione levels within the body's cells. Dr. Patel introduces an advancement in glutathione delivery, offering a solution to the issue of absorption. Through topical application, glutathione can bypass the challenges encountered by other delivery methods and directly enter the body's cells, which can remain active for extended periods. [22:00] Topical Application of Glutaryl Dr. Patel emphasizes the importance of regular use of Glutaryl, highlighting the continuous need for glutathione in the body. Glutaryl is designed for topical application on non-hairy areas of the body. Dr. Patel shares his experience encountering sulfur odor and stickiness with the formula. He recommends applying it to areas without hair. Despite the concerns about odor and stickiness, Dr. Patel affirms that the formula has remained unchanged since 2007, reflecting its efficacy in delivering glutathione. [26:20] Guardian of Skin: Harnessing Glutathione's Power The skin is the body's largest organ, constantly exposed to environmental pollutants. The accumulation of such substances can lead to oxidative stress, necessitating antioxidant support for skin health.  Glutathione, with its potent antioxidant properties, can effectively combat oxidative stress when applied topically, helping to mitigate various skin issues caused by environmental factors. [43:40] Reframing Diabetes: Understanding Oxidative Stress Dr. Patel frames diabetes as an oxidative stress disorder. When the body's oxidative stress levels become elevated, it will lead to insulin resistance and other complications associated with diabetes. By addressing oxidative stress, you can mitigate the progression of diabetes-related issues.

Today, I am blessed to have Brett Ender here with me. He is the co-founder and co-host of The Meat Mafia Podcast with Harrison Gray, exploring food and nutrition with guests. Ender is also the co-founder of Noble, a beef protein isolate. In this episode, Brett discusses corporate dominance in the food industry, where profit often outweighs nutrition. He also emphasizes the financial benefits of healthier dietary choices and the importance of prioritizing protein intake. Despite his focus on animal products, he advocates for dietary flexibility. Lastly, he challenges misconceptions about agriculture's environmental impact, highlighting its relatively minor role compared to other industries. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

These companies prioritize profit at the expense of producing healthy, nutritious foods. Their focus on efficiency may lead to the proliferation of ultra-processed foods. Brett discusses the discrepancy between government regulations on food options in public schools, where nutritious choices like whole milk are restricted while highly processed options are available.  [12:30] Brett's Path to Healing Through Nutrient-Rich Diet  Brett's journey with ulcerative colitis led him to reevaluate his diet. He made a conscious decision to prioritize nutrient-dense foods, particularly animal protein, as a means of healing. Despite financial constraints, Brett opted for investing in high-quality, nourishing foods, rather than relying on medications. He emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of preventive healthcare through dietary changes, compared to the financial burden of hospital bills.  [19:40] The Financial Benefits of Healthier Dietary Choices Brett highlights the importance of quantifying the cost savings and benefits associated with making healthier dietary choices.  Compare the cost of grass-fed meat at the grocery store versus fast food options like Taco Bell, as well as the financial savings from fasting. [32:50] Prioritizing Protein Intake Brett emphasizes the importance of simplicity for dietary choices. He suggests aiming for a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight from animal products.  By sticking to protein sources that you enjoy, you can establish a solid foundation for their nutritional intake without getting overwhelmed by sourcing or other details initially. [39:35] Dietary Flexibility: Finding Balance Beyond 'The Meat Mafia' Despite having a podcast called "The Meat Mafia" and sharing his healing journey with animal products, Brett acknowledges the importance of dietary flexibility.  He mentions that while the majority of his calories come from animal products, he incorporates fruits, vegetables, and other foods prepared by his girlfriend. This highlights the idea that dietary approaches should be adaptable to individual preferences, tolerances, and circumstances. [47:50] Rethinking Agriculture's Impact Brett highlights the misconception that agriculture, particularly conventional methods involving confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), contributes significantly to environmental issues.  He points out that while there are concerns with agriculture, its impact pales in comparison to industries like energy and transportation. There is a need for a broader understanding of the various factors influencing environmental sustainability.

Today, I am grateful to have the presence of Dr. Philip Ovadia by my side yet again. He is the owner of Ovadia Heart Health, offering a virtual clinic to people all over the world. The focus is preventing and treating heart disease by modifying diet and lifestyle. In this episode, Dr. Ovadia discusses the impact of foods on insulin resistance, critiques conventional dietary recommendations, and highlights the importance of managing insulin levels. He emphasizes the significance of directly assessing arterial health and the role of factors beyond diet in heart disease risk. He also examines the complexities of statin use, acknowledging their potential benefits but cautioning against overestimation and considering long-term implications. Overall, Dr. Ovadia advocates for a holistic approach to heart health. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

He suggests these foods contribute to metabolic issues and are a primary health-promoting concern. Dr. Ovadia critiques the recommendations of organizations like the American Heart Association, suggesting that their focus on certain foods, such as those labeled "heart-healthy," which often include vegetable oils, may not promote heart health.  [10:00] Insulin's Dietary Dance Dr. Ovadia highlights the varying insulin responses to different macronutrients.  Carbohydrates elicit the highest insulin response, followed by protein, which induces a smaller response.  Dietary fat triggers minimal insulin response, contrary to the misconception that fats contribute to heart disease.  Understanding these responses underscores the importance of managing insulin levels and minimizing carbohydrate intake for heart health. [27:35] Reevaluating Heart Disease Risk The prevalence of insulin resistance in modern populations has shifted the significance of LDL levels, with insulin resistance now playing a role in interpreting cholesterol-related heart disease risk. Dr. Ovadia underscores the importance of testing fasting insulin levels to assess heart disease risk. Properly addressing insulin resistance is critical to mitigating heart disease risk and preventing the need for surgery. [40:20] Arterial Health Checkup for Heart Disease Risk Dr. Ovadia emphasizes the importance of directly assessing the health of arteries when evaluating heart disease risk.  He suggests examining the blood vessels' condition provides valuable insights into heart health rather than relying solely on traditional risk factors or biomarkers, such as cholesterol levels. [47:00] Beyond Diet: A Holistic Approach to Heart Health Dr. Ovadia stresses the importance of recognizing that diet is not the sole determinant of heart health. Other factors such as stress, sleep quality, environmental toxins, chronic infections, and autoimmune disorders can impact cardiovascular health.  These influences are crucial if dietary improvements do not change coronary calcium scores. [50:30] Statins in Perspective Dr. Ovadia acknowledges situations where statin use may be warranted, such as individuals with insulin resistance and poor-quality cholesterol profiles who are unlikely to address their insulin resistance through other means.  He emphasizes that the benefits of statins may be overestimated.

While visible light constitutes what we see, unseen wavelengths, particularly near-infrared, play a vital role in maintaining human health. Over 70% of the power absorbed from the sun is in the near-infrared band, which our bodies sense even though we can't see it with our eyes. This light is essential for the optimal functioning and healing of cells, mainly through the mitochondria, which produce energy and play a crucial role in repairing damaged cells.  [07:25] The Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Sunlight Deprivation and Health Brian highlights how our modern lifestyle, characterized by spending significant time indoors and wearing clothing even when outdoors, leads to a deprivation of sunlight exposure. He notes that the average American gets only 7 minutes of sunlight per day, a stark contrast to our ancestors, who had much more exposure to sunlight.  This deprivation of sunlight, particularly near-infrared light, crucial for cellular function and health, can significantly affect our well-being.  [14:10] Firelight Spectrum: Well-Being Through Near-Infrared Healing Brian discusses the soothing feeling we experience in sunlight and near a bonfire or fireplace. This physiological feeling deeply resonates with our sense of connection to the universe. Unlike the sun, the firelight spectrum lacks the harmful ultraviolet and blue light, focusing instead on the healing properties of near-infrared light. This spectrum induces relaxation, helps in serotonin and dopamine release, and promotes a state of rest, digestion, and healing, ultimately contributing to a sense of happiness. [18:00] Understanding the Interplay Between Sun Exposure, Diet, and Health Brian highlights the complexity of sun exposure and its interaction with our diet. While sunscreen is commonly used for protection against UV rays, many conventional sunscreens contain known carcinogens and nanoparticles that can contribute to pollution and health risks.  An ancestral diet low in such oils may make individuals less prone to sunburn. Therefore, while the sun is inherently healing, it's essential to consider both sunscreen ingredients and dietary factors when assessing its effects on health. [38:30] The Impact of LED and Fluorescent Lighting and the Healing Potential of Photon Light Brian discusses the harmful effects of LED and fluorescent lighting, mainly due to the high levels of blue light emitted and the pulsing nature of the light.  He explains that exposure to these types of lighting, common in screens and indoor environments, can cause stress on the body and disrupt circadian rhythms.

Today, I am blessed to have Angie Sanchez here with me. Angie is a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach (INHC) and Founder of "True You" Health Coaching, Angie Sanchez, LLC. As a health & lifestyle coach, truth junkie, fitness & natural movement enthusiast, and nutrition & "real food" advocate, Angie is insanely passionate about empowering, inspiring, and educating others to pave their way to optimal health through the discovery & cultivation of purpose, truth, and strength. In this episode, Angie dives into the importance of emotional intelligence, highlighting consideration and curiosity as foundational aspects. She shares her personal journey of transformation, emphasizing the role of emotional intelligence in navigating challenges and finding purpose. Angie discusses how emotional traps and perception shape reality, underscoring the need to examine and address subconscious influences for personal growth and fulfillment. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.   [05:25] Understanding Emotional Intelligence Angie emphasizes the importance of consideration as a core aspect of emotional intelligence. This involves being aware of one's own emotions and those of others, recognizing that everyone is part of a shared environment, and using this awareness to guide actions. Angie suggests that the lack of emotional intelligence has significant implications for the world. She compares emotional intelligence to a language one learns to speak, noting that individuals with low emotional intelligence may struggle with handling adversity and managing their emotions. [20:20] Curiosity as the Key to Emotional Intelligence Angie highlights the importance of curiosity as a foundational aspect of emotional intelligence.  Individuals create space for questions by cultivating curiosity and allowing others to express their emotions.  Mastering the role of the observer, which begins with curiosity, enhances empathy and facilitates a shift from reacting to situations to responding. [27:20] From Struggle to Strength: Angie's Journey Angie shares a personal journey of transformation, highlighting how she went from a high-achieving, disciplined individual to someone struggling with depression and binge eating. Through her experience of hitting rock bottom and undergoing a process of rebirth, she gained profound insights into psychology and personal development. This journey ultimately led her to discover her passion for coaching. [36:00] Navigating Purpose & Empowering Others Having high emotional intelligence can help individuals figure out their purpose and make decisions with clarity.  Angie's personal experience motivates her to help others who may be going through similar struggles. She recognizes the importance of equipping individuals with the tools and knowledge to understand and manage their emotions, especially during periods of identity crisis.  [42:30] Understanding Emotional Traps & the Law of Attraction Angie discusses how individuals can become trapped in certain emotional states, such as grief, which then perpetuate feelings of shame and guilt.  By constantly focusing on negative emotions, individuals can inadvertently magnify them, shaping their perception of reality. This proces influences one's vibrational frequency and attracts similar experiences. [46:00] Perception's Power: Uncovering Subconscious Influences Angie emphasizes the critical role of perception in shaping every aspect of one's life, including health.  She suggests that disease can originate from one's perception, which is influenced by subconscious programs.  Understanding these programs is essential for uncovering outdated beliefs that may be holding individuals back from living fulfilling lives.

Pharmaceutical companies profit from ongoing treatment rather than curing diseases, insurance companies may benefit from higher premiums, and hospitals earn revenue from higher service prices.  [09:00] Affordable Healthy Eating Beyond Fast Food Andy challenges the narrative that unhealthy fast food options are the only accessible and affordable choices, particularly in food deserts.  Through an experiment, he demonstrates that creating a healthy meal for the same or even less cost than a typical fast food meal is possible. This highlights the importance of education in making healthier choices, even in areas labeled as food deserts. [15:50] The Paradox of Health Insurance Andy highlights a concerning reality where even families with health insurance face the risk of financial distress due to medical events.  200,000 families go bankrupt every year despite having health insurance. This is attributed to high deductibles, where individuals must pay a significant amount out-of-pocket before insurance coverage kicks in.  A substantial portion of claims are denied, further exacerbating the financial burden on individuals and families. This situation underscores the inadequacy of current health insurance models and the need for reform. [37:20] Leveraging Collective Support for Medical Needs CrowdHealth participants contribute monthly fees, which are used to support community members facing medical expenses or emergencies.  By leveraging the community's collective resources, individuals can receive assistance without relying on traditional insurance models or external funding sources.  This approach fosters a sense of solidarity and mutual aid among members, reinforcing the community's shared values and objectives. [50:45] Partnering for Health: The Role of Spousal Support and Simplified Meal Planning Andy emphasizes the importance of getting your spouse on board with your health goals. When both partners are aligned in their approach to nutrition and wellness, it sets a solid foundation for success.  Spousal support can provide motivation, accountability, and a shared commitment to making healthier choices, which can significantly impact overall lifestyle habits. Andy advocates simplifying meal planning by rotating through about ten meals. By establishing a routine and eliminating decision-making around meals, individuals can reduce the likelihood of making unhealthy choices due to fatigue or convenience.
