Podcast appearances and mentions of ben azadi

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, author of New York Times bestseller The Bulletproof Diet, a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent two decades and more than one million dollars to hack his own biology, Dave Asprey. Dave lost 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, used techniques to upgrade his brain and lift his IQ by 20 points, and lowered his biological age while learning to sleep more efficiently in less time. Learning to do these seemingly impossible things transformed him into a better entrepreneur, a better husband, and a better father. Through his work Dave provides information, techniques and keys to taking control of and improving your biochemistry, your body and your mind so they work in unison, helping you execute at levels far beyond what you'd expect, without burning out, getting sick, or allowing stress to control your decisions. In this episode, Dave Asprey explains why simply not eating carbs isn't enough to lose weight and keep the weight off. Dave reveals why we need to eat the rights fats. Whenever you eat something, there are three things you need to think about: will this food be used as a building block, will this food be used as a fuel, and what toxins does the food have? Plus, Dave describes why we need to stop eating overcooked foods and the reasons we should be more concerned with the quality of our ingredients in the foods we eat.

The keto cookies are made with gluten – they are causing inflammation! If you are not in ketosis some of the time, you will not live to 180. On the Bulletproof diet, people have lost 1,000,000 pounds. Not eating carbs doesn't work 100% of the time.  [04:50] Why We Need To Eat The Right Fats What are our cell membranes made of? Well, it depends where they are found in the body. Look at everything you eat from three different lenses: Is it going to be used as a building block? Is it going to be used as a fuel? What toxins does it have in it? What percentage of your body are carbs? Less than one percent. You do not need carbs as a building block. There is about a two-year half-life of fat in the body. When you eat good fats, it will take two years to make your cell membranes functioning. Saturated fats are awesome because they do not break easily, and they are stable. We have demonized saturated fats. However, 45% of our cell membrane fat is saturated fats. The only fat your body can make is saturated fat. Our brains need these saturated fats. Monounsaturated fats fill in the big building blocks. Omega-3s and omega-6s will be the lubricants. [12:45] Think About Quality Ingredients People will try and put anything in the keto category. It's a problem. The quality of the ingredients matter. The reason grass-fed butter is such a big thing is because the fatty acid ratios are different. Animal fat is so precious – that's why Dave raises his own animals. Part of the keto message has to be “don't eat industrial meat.” It will WRECK your ketosis. Short-ribs from a grass-fed cow are covered in fat. It is a religious experience. Eat less meat and spend more on it if that what it takes to eat grass-fed meat. Half of your fat calories should be saturated. [18:50] Stop Overcooking Your Foods Overcooked food is rough on your liver. When you eat heavily charred meat, you'll feel bad. It doesn't matter if it's delicious; it matters how you will feel when it's done. Parts of our cells will act as incinerators. They burn our proteins and digest them. Overcooked foods will clog them up. If you keep shoveling them in there, then there is no mechanism to clean them up. Do not eat smoked foods! AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Alexandra Sowa. As the daughter of a hand surgeon, Dr. Alexandra Sowa was exposed to medicine at a young age. She loved how her father could transform people's lives by giving them back the use of their hands. Check out SoWell: https://lddy.no/13m4s Use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off your entire order. In her internal medicine residency, she saw that same sort of transformation for patients who lost weight and drastically improved their health. Once she knew weight loss medicine was a specialization she could pursue, she never considered anything else. Now Dr. Sowa is a board-certified physician of Internal Medicine, specializing in preventive health, nutrition and obesity medicine. Through her New York City practice, she has helped thousands of patients lose weight and live healthier lives. Dr. Sowa also holds an appointment as a Clinical Instructor in Medicine at the New York University School of Medicine. Outside of her practice, she enjoys communicating health messages to the public through print and television. She has published original articles on health-related topics in publications like The Atlantic, NPR, Slate Magazine and the New York Daily News. She has also served as an on-air health expert for national media outlets like Fox News, CBS News, NPR, and The Doctors. Her medical opinions have been featured in print publications, from the New York Times to U.S. News and World Report to Glamour and Parents Magazine. She is a regular weight-loss expert on SiriusXM radio. She is passionate about optimizing health through food. You can often find her making healthy meals (and a mess!) for her husband and two young sons in the kitchen. In this episode, Dr. Sowa talks about how she got involved in the health space and her passion for preventing metabolic dysfunction. Unfortunately, 88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible; however, Dr. Sowa says there are easy ways to reverse that. Plus, Dr. Sowa talks about the importance of data and your optimal markers. Tune in as we chat about supplements, intermittent fasting, and the importance of quality sleep. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Plus, the idea of prevention always was very attractive to her. Sowa always wondered why doctors want to treat the disease if they could prevent it. At college, she really started to understand a holistic view of what it means to be healthy. Eventually, Dr. Sowa realized a lot of problems in health boils down to metabolic dysfunction. [04:40] Why Are 88% of Americans Metabolically Inflexible? So, Dr. Sowa says the solution is actually pretty straightforward. You can reverse type 2 diabetes; again, it is reversible! Many people think a low-carb and high-fat diet will give you a heart attack or a stroke; that's simply not true. The three macronutrients are carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Out of those three macronutrients, carbohydrates will spike glucose and insulin the most. It makes total sense that we should eat more protein and fat to reverse high insulin. [16:45] What Is An Optimal Range For Fasting Insulin? Optimal is usually under five. Even up to eight is okay for fasting insulin. Anything higher than eight means your body is making too much insulin in response to carbohydrates. When Dr. Sowa does bloodwork, she's looking for metabolic syndrome. Plus, Dr. Sowa wants to look for vitamin deficiencies. Learn more about the kits that Dr. Sowa offers here: https://lddy.no/13m4s Use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off your entire order. [20:50] How Often Should Someone Retest Their Markers? You should test once a quarter. If you are embarking on a new lifestyle change, Dr. Sowa says to test right away. That way, you have the data. Once you start eating keto, then you can see what improves. Your markers are a better victory than what you see on the scale. [24:20] How Dr. Sowa Wants To Help People With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome PCOS is a disease of insulin resistance in the majority of cases. For years, the medical community has gone about treating this in the wrong way. Up to 50% of women with PCOS will go on to develop type two diabetes by the time they're 40. Women with PCOS can make themselves feel better by following a low carbohydrate diet. Sowa developed a kit to help women get a diagnosis. It usually takes women five years and three doctors to understand their diagnosis. [28:10] Why Dr. Sowa Is A Big Fan of Intermittent Fasting   Fasting will reset your hormones. Plus, fasting is a great way to understand your relationship with food and hunger. Remember, you don't have to eat every two hours. In the beginning, it's not necessarily about eating less; it's just about eating less often.   [31:10] Why Dr. Sowa Loves Walking After A Meal Walk after a meal, so your muscles have the ability to take up any glucose. We should be moving right after we eat to take up any free glucose and use it for energy instead of fat storage. Five minutes will make a difference! The sweet spot would be fifteen to twenty minutes. [34:10] How Important Is Quality Sleep Each Night? If you don't get good sleep, sleep, you will be hungry and crave carbohydrates. Good quality and consistent sleep will keep your cortisol levels down. When cortisol spikes from poor sleep, the hunger hormone will also spike. Plus, you will get a spike in insulin. When insulin is high, it will drive hunger. One of the silent epidemics in our country is sleep apnea, where people cannot get good sleep no matter how hard they try. Luckily, Dr. Sowa will screen for sleep apnea. [40:30] The Supplements That Dr. Sowa Recommends Sowa is a fan of her GetSoBalanced supplement. This formula is great for a number of things: Weight management Healthy metabolism Blood sugar regulation Insulin sensitivity Healthy cholesterol levels PCOS symptom relief Gastrointestinal microbial balance Check out GetSoBalanced here: https://lddy.no/13m4s Use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off your entire order.  Also, Dr. Sow loves myo-inositol; it is a natural alternative to Metformin. It's great for both men and women. [46:05] What To Do Before You Take A SoWell Test First, chug water! Next, warm up your hands. Run them under warm water and get the circulation going. Sometimes, you have to massage the finger to get blood to come out. Once you prick your finger, trust the process. AND MUCH MORE!

In this episode, I am speaking with Ben Azadi – who is a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and author. He is known as the health detective with his approach to investigating the root cause of dysfunction. He is the founder of Keto Kamp – a program dedicated to bringing more awareness to the healing properties of intermittent fasting and the keto diet. We will talk about flexible keto, mindset, and healthy fats.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Abby Durlewanger. Abby started the Ketogenic lifestyle in 2017 after doing just about every other diet. She was consistently losing weight and then would gain it right back on the weekend. She found it hard to stick other diets because she was always hungry and having cheat meals. She thought she could exercise the pounds away. After weeks of research she finally decided to give Keto a try, but vowed it would only be for 6 weeks. After week 1 and the surge of energy, focus, and results she saw, she was hooked! Abby has lost over 130 lbs and 145 inches. She went from a size 20 to a size 2. From a size 4x to a size Small. While Abby is very passionate about the Ketogenic lifestyle she credits all of her success to the revelation God gave her about stewarding her body. She was able to acknowledge she has a food addiction and was using food to cope with trauma from childhood, depression, and anxiety. It was when she was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression after the birth of her son that she was at her lowest point in life. Feeling suicidal and lost, she had an encounter with her savior, Jesus Christ that changed everything. She now stands firm against her addiction knowing that self-control and discipline is a fruit of the spirit and the more time she spends with God, the better it gets and that “anything that we put before God is out of order, including food.” She now spends her time sharing her family's faith, ketogenic lifestyle, and helping others get freedom from food addiction. While she loves helping people through her business, she is fully confident that it is not a meal plan or grocery list that is helping people. It is the power of her testimony and encouragement of others to place God first to allow him to meet their needs instead of reliance on “comfort foods.” In this episode, Abby Durlewanger opens up about her journey to health and wellness. She speaks about the inspiration behind House of Keto and why she decided to do a 41-day water fast. Abby explains the reason you may be overeating dietary fat on keto and how you can start using your own body fat instead. Plus, Abby opens up about the spiritual and mental healing that happened to her while fasting. Tune in as we chat about feeding your kids a ketogenic diet and all the 2022 events where you can see Abby talk more about her story. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

However, Abby felt hungry all of the time, and she needed food constantly. Abby's trainer said to try a keto lifestyle. Within the first week of keto, Abby already felt better. Instead of experiencing the keto flu, Abby felt a surge of energy. For the first time in Abby's life, she forgot to eat breakfast! She naturally started incorporating fasting into her lifestyle. [06:30] Instead of Eating Dietary Fat, Use Your Body Fat People think that you need to consume a lot of fats in order to be keto. However, the metabolic state of ketosis is not synonymous with weight loss. It's possible to be in ketosis and gain weight. What are your goals? That will determine what you need to do. If you're trying to put on muscle, then you're someone that needs to eat more fat. Children will also need to eat more fat on the ketogenic diet. If you are overweight, the fat from your diet can come from your stored body fat. [11:00] Why Abby Decided To Do A 41-Day Water Fast About two and a half years ago, Abby got diagnosed with a rare breast disease. It looks like breast cancer, acts like breast cancer, and is treated like breast cancer. At the time of her diagnosis, less than 1,000 women in America had this disease. Basically, no one knew what they were looking at, and no one knew what they were doing. They wanted to treat Abby as though she was a cancer patient, but they could not find a cancer cell. Abby was in the worst pain that she had ever been in her entire life. What Abby had was something called idiopathic granuloma mastitis. Eventually, Abby decided to do a water fast to let her body heal itself. Luckily, Abby was able to avoid chemo and avoid getting her breasts removed. [27:20] The Physical and Spiritual Healing That Happens During A Fast Every religion talks about some type of fasting. During her fast, Abby felt like there was nothing she could not do. Fasting helped Abby's mental health. During the 41-day fast, Abby had an awakening. She saw who she was and how she could contribute to the planet. Now, Abby has loads of confidence; people tell Abby that she seems like a completely new person. [33:45] The Decision To Feed Your Kids A Ketogenic Diet Abby's children were eating goldfish, syrup, whipped cream, Dr. Pepper, and Tootsie Rolls. One day, Abby watched the movie The Magic Pill: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Pill-Pete-Evans/dp/B078H4J7G1/benazadi-20 After watching the movie, Abby just stopped buying things that were filled with sugar. In the house, Abby established a rule called “meats before treats.” When Abby cooks for herself, she offers the same foods to her kids. Her son went from being non-verbal to putting sentences together a week into keto.

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

When he got sober, he started to use sugar instead of drugs and alcohol. Flour and sugar were just the staples of his diet. One day, Michael read a book called Sugar Blues by William Dufty. You can check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Blues-William-Dufty/dp/0446343129/benazadi-20 Eventually, he started putting out his own information about sugar addiction on the internet. [12:00] Why People Don't Recognize Sugar As An Addiction People are going blind and losing limbs because of sugar addiction. Some people biochemically cannot ingest sugar. 95% of all people that lose any amount of weight gain it all back and then some in the first year. The word addiction is still stigmatized. So many people are not willing to consider sugar addiction a real thing. [24:00] What Exactly Is Happening In The Brain When We Eat Sugar All of the brain reward chemicals are affected by sugar. In fact, they are manually manipulated by sugar. When you stop eating sugar, your dopamine receptors will be thinned out. If you have a sweet tooth craving, you are looking for a dopamine hit. You can give sugar to a one-year-old, and there are no ethical worries. If you have high-stress events in your day-to-day, maybe you eat sugar as a response. Then it's time to remove the stressful situation so you can ditch the sugar. [37:15] Caffeine Use Disorder Is Accepted By The Medical Community Caffeine use disorder is actually in the DSM. The medical establishment has seen what happens when people overuse caffeine. So, we still have to fight for people who have sugar use disorder. Science is catching up around sugar addiction, and hopefully, people can get the help they need from the medical community. [41:20] Tips For Making The Transition To Keto In 2022 Keto is going to be hard for about seven to ten days. Most likely, you are not going to feel well. If you have a sugar addiction, you are going to be lethargic, and you are going to be depressed. This is normal because your dopamine is finally getting a rest. However, in the long run, you will have a better mood, you'll sleep better, and you'll be able to focus more. [50:15] All About The Quit Sugar Summit 2022 The 8th Annual Quit Sugar Summit is coming up in 2022. It goes through January 24 – 30, 2022. You'll hear from some amazing speakers like Dr. David Perlmutter, Dr. Richard Johnson, Dr. Nicole Avena, Bitten Jonsson, Cristy “Code Red” Nickel, Ben Azadi, and much more!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Patrick McKeown. World-renowned author and breathing practitioner Patrick McKeown was educated at Trinity College in Dublin, before completing his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. This training was accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko. From a young age, Patrick suffered from asthma and relied on an array of medicines and inhalers until he discovered the Buteyko Method at the age of 26, experiencing immediate relief from his symptoms. By applying the principals of the Buteyko Method, Patrick remains asthma-free since then, a feat that over 20 years of medication had failed to accomplish. In a career spanning 15 years, Patrick has since also become a bestselling author and expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health, wellbeing, and fitness. In this episode, Patrick talks about how crowded teeth can be a problem for breathing. Then, we discuss the main issues that can develop with chronic mouth breathers. Patrick dives into exactly how we should be breathing through our noses and the relaxation effect that will take place with proper inhales and exhales. Tune in as Patrick reveals why he highly recommends taping your mouth before bed. Plus, Patrick recommends the best resources to learn more about breathing exercises and guidelines. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

He started to practice slow breathing and light breathing. Through breathing, he was able to influence the temperature of his fingers. Learn more about Patrick by reading his book Atomic Focus: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Focus-Resilience-Breathing-Exercises-ebook/dp/B09D9ZL9HL/benazadi-20   [07:15] The Problem With Crowded Teeth and Breathing If the teeth are crowded, your jaw is too small. If your jaw is too small, there's not enough room for the tongue. So, the tongue is more likely to encroach the airway. When your airway is compromised, you may get disordered breathing during sleep. A palate expander is something that can be useful to improve breathing.   [16:40] The Problems That Can Develop With Chronic Mouth Breathing Yawning excessively can be a clue to mouth breathing. Whenever Patrick works with a student, he tries to switch them from mouth breathing to nose breathing as much as possible. He also works on functional breathing patterns. Light breathing helps ensure the blood chemistry is normal. You're more likely to breathe light through your nose. By changing our breathing patterns, we can stimulate the vagus nerve.   [21:55] Patrick Explains How You Should Breathe Through Your Nose Bring your attention to your breathing. Slow down your inhale, and have a slow, gentle exhalation. When you need to breathe in, take in a gentle inhalation. At the end of the inhalation, bring a feeling of relaxation to the body. When you do this correctly, you will feel air hunger. As you do this for two to three minutes, check the saliva in your mouth. Normally, it increases. When the human body undergoes stress, the mouth goes dry. While on the other hand, when we slow down our breathing, we should have more saliva in the mouth.   [38:40] Why Patrick Recommends Mouth Tape Before Sleep Mouth tape can bring you so many benefits. 50% of people wake up with a dry mouth in the morning. Breathing through your mouth at night can wreak havoc on your dental health. Mouth breathing will cause more sleep disruptions. Breathing through the nose will make it so you don't have to wake up as much in the middle of the night. MYOTAPE will gently restore functional breathing for better sleep, better health, and better quality of life. You can learn more about MYOTAPE here: https://myotape.com/   [49:00] Resources To Check Out That Patrick Recommends   Patrick highly recommends reading his book, THE BREATHING CURE: Develop New Habits for a Healthier, Happier, and Longer Life.

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

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

They had five doctors and one lawyer. Plus, they had a vegan doctor to argue against Dr. Paul. There was a lot of yelling, and Dr. Paul was barely given a chance to say what he needed to say. Paul invited them to his podcast to have an honest and genuine debate. None of them showed up. If you want to watch it on YouTube, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaPrrg4tytE   [09:50] Why Dr. Paul Started To Eat More Carbohydrates Ketosis at the beginning for Dr. Paul without carbohydrates in his diet seemed fine. Eventually, Dr. Paul was getting a lot of muscle cramps, and he was getting heart palpitations at night. So, Dr. Paul started to reintroduce carbohydrates into his diet. First, he started to introduce honey into his lifestyle. After incorporating honey, Dr. Paul started to feel better. Blood sugar will spike when you include carbohydrates in your diet, especially honey. However, Dr. Paul's blood glucose tracing was very low.   [22:50] Why Dr. Paul Doesn't Like The Term Insulin Resistance Paul doesn't like the term insulin resistance. He thinks metabolic dysfunction is a more precise term. He doesn't like to say insulin resistance because two types of insulin resistance are often confused and conflated. The first type of insulin resistance is physiologic insulin resistance. Humans have evolved a state known as ketosis, which goes hand in hand with physiologic insulin resistance. Then, there is pathological insulin resistance. Many people who exclude carbohydrates will see improvements in their physiology.   [34:50] The Importance of Decreasing The Amount of Linoleic Acid In Your Diet Many people should decrease the amount of linoleic acid in their diet. We have to understand how much linoleic acid is in the foods we eat as humans. Soybean oil has 45 to 50% linoleic acid. Butter and tallow, which has rendered animal fat from cows, will have much lower levels of linoleic acid, around 2%. The composition of our cell membranes takes a long time to change. So, breaking down the linoleic acid will take a great deal of time. A low carbohydrate approach will help lower the linoleic acid in your diet.   [40:00] What Happens When We Consume Too Much Linoleic Acid When we eat more linoleic acid, we can find more oxidized LDL. The oxidation and the instability of linoleic acid is one of the problems. There could be some potentially hormonal roles for linoleic acid that are negative as well. The underlying thing to consider here is an evolutionarily appropriate diet for humans. We consume much more linoleic acid than we ever have.   [47:25] Should You Be Taking Fish Oils on The Ketogenic Diet? Fish oil spoils extremely fast. These oils are so fragile, and we're putting them in capsules, and we're presuming that they're not oxidized. The only place Dr. Paul is getting omega-3 is essentially from ruminant animal fat. Paul is not convinced that omega-3s are that beneficial or that we should be pumping ourselves full of them. There have been millions and millions of humans that have no access to coastal foods; they did just fine from eating land animals.   [64:35] You Want To Push Your Linoleic Acid Consumption As Low As Possible Paul says to keep your linoleic acid consumption as low as possible. The human body can't make omega-6, but there's omega-6 in everything. The linoleic acid composition of a mother's breast milk changes based on their dietary consumption. If you look at the hunter-gatherers, their linoleic acid in the breast milk is much lower because they're eating so little linoleic acid in their diet.   [70:10] Thirty Days To Radical Health Paul is doing an animal-based 30-day challenge. In fact, Dr. Paul challenges you to try an animal-based diet for 30 days and NOT flourish! Learn more about the challenge here: https://animalbased30.com/ When you sign up, he will send you a free infographic and an eBook.   [75:55] Are There Any Vegetables That You Should Be Eating? If you think canonically about what a vegetable is, it's the part of a plant that it doesn't want you to eat. Vegetables don't have a role in human health unless you want to go to great lengths to detoxify them. If you want to do vegetables, ferment the heck out of them and maybe do something like sauerkraut. Even some fruit can be problematic for humans.   [88:10] Is There Really A Connection Between Eating Meat and Colon Cancer? We've been cooking meat for more than a million years. Calcium is an essential part of every human diet, whether you're getting it from bones or you're getting it from good sources of dairy. When you have more calcium in the diet, you tend to see lower rates of colon cancer. Overall, we should go back to the idea of what's evolutionarily consistent, and we try to understand that as best as possible to inform our behaviors.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Carnivore MD: https://carnivoremd.com Follow Dr. Paul Saladino Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carnivoremd2.0/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/carnivoremd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carnivoreMD/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/paulsaladinomd Get The Carnivore Code: https://carnivoremd.com/my-book/ Listen to Dr. Paul Saladino, Benefits of Eating Meat on The Carnivore Diet, Dangers of Lectins in Food: KKP 87: https://poddtoppen.se/podcast/1470779784/the-keto-kamp-podcast-with-ben-azadi/dr-paul-saladino-benefits-of-eating-meat-on-the-carnivore-diet-dangers-of-lectins-in-food-kkp-87 The Fundamental Health Podcast: https://carnivoremd.com/podcast/ Get Heart & Soil Supplements here: https://shop.heartandsoil.co/discount/AFFILIATE10?rfsn=6331076.ba6cb5 Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Pauline Cox. She co-founded The Complete Health Clinic in 2004, a multi-disciplinary private health clinic with a vision of creating better access to healthcare and information. In 2018 Pauline co-founded Sow & Arrow with a mission of creating easy-to-access information on health and wellbeing as well as a place to get convenient healthy food on the go. Sow & Arrow creates high quality, innovative, nutrient-dense food based on the grain-free, low carb ancestral diet. Sow & Arrow also supply high-quality supplements and exceptional products, often locally produced by Artisan makers. Pauline has a passion for teaching and runs regular workshops and health programs and speaking engagements to relay the latest news, information and research in the areas of health and wellbeing Primal Living in a Modern World is Pauline's first book and focuses on reversing chronic illness and optimizing health.  In this episode, Pauline talks about how she started on her journey to health and why Pauline took a deep dive into nutrition. We talk about how conventional medicine is more ready to accept preventative health care ever since Covid. Plus, Pauline explains what dual-fuel burning means and why it can be a total game-changer for your health. It's incredible what the body can do when it is metabolically flexible. Tune in as we chat about retraining your hunger hormone, getting more collagen into your diet, and the importance of supporting your liver. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

She kept seeing the same inflammatory-based conditions turning up. Terry Wahls inspired Pauline to look at nutrition at a much deeper level. Pauline loves to think about how nutrition can improve longevity and protect us against chronic disease. [07:20] Being More Preventative When It Comes To Covid We can improve our immune function and make it more robust and more reactive when it needs to be. At the start of the pandemic, there was a lot of skepticism around vitamin D and zinc. Plus, there was a lot of skepticism around supplements, food, and the impact of nutrition. Now, it seems to be much more readily accepted in the conventional medical community. [17:30] Dual-Fuel Burning: What It Means and How To Achieve It Ketones have been around for as long as we've been around as humans. We can burn two different types of fuel: ketones and glucose. It protects our body from essentially eating our muscles and ourselves to death if we go two or three days without food. Dual-fuel gives us the ability to go for long periods of time without food. We're carrying our own little refrigerator of food that we can access at any point. Dual-fuel keeps our mood stable. [21:00] It's Incredible That We Have A Metabolically Flexible Body Our brain is designed to be able to utilize glucose or ketones. However, the brain has a preference for ketones. If we eat some sweet potatoes, we will mop up that glucose and use it immediately. If you don't eat carbs, then you will utilize the fat stored in your body. Pauline will fast from 6 pm to lunchtime the next day. She loves to have a core level of ketones. We have a brain that's becoming increasingly insulin resistant. Millions and millions of individuals across the world are already insulin resistant. Pauline recommends reading Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure?: The Story of Ketones: https://www.amazon.com/Alzheimers-Disease-There-Story-Ketones-ebook/dp/B01INM7KUE/benazadi-20 [26:20] How Long Does It Take To Retrain Your Hunger Hormone?   Ghrelin spikes very predictably around when we usually eat. Our body will produce ghrelin, very predictably, at nine o'clock, in anticipation of us having our breakfast. Your ghrelin is trained to spike. If you want to eliminate breakfast, then you should start to shift your ghrelin. Start moving your eating times 45 minutes back. That way, you're training that ghrelin spike to ease off rather than stopping altogether slowly. It will be an easier transition. [32:35] About Pauline's Book Primal Living in a Modern World Get Primal Living in a Modern World: https://www.sowandarrow.com/product-page/primal-a-signed-first-edition-of-sow-arrows-ultimate-health Pauline wrote the book about eighteen months ago. Primal living is a blueprint; this step-by-step guide will teach you why we are sick, how to reverse and heal and how to safeguard you and your family's health. Pauline talks about how the foods we eat make us sick, inflamed, and fat.   [36:25] The Importance of Getting More Collagen Into Your Diet   We live in a modern world that can work against us. However, we also live in a modern world that can work for us. We live in a time where there are so many incredible products on the market. There's a collagen deficit in most people. So, we're not necessarily getting enough protein. Pauline says our guts cannot break down protein properly. Bone broth is one of the best sources of collagen.   [43:15] The Best Way To Support Your Liver Fasting is a great way to support your liver. Also, eat a low-sugar diet. Pauline eats minimal sugars.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me again, Founder of Upgraded Formulas and a Chemical Engineer, Barton Scott. Barton always had sharp cognitive function, but he began to suffer memory loss and mental fatigue. How could this be, at such an early age? To make matters worse, tragedy struck at the same time, when he unfortunately lost his mother. Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com After taking many supplements during this time frame, nothing was working. Faced with adversity and looming health issues, this is when he decided that he must pursue solutions.  He grew frustrated with how mineral supplements lacked effectiveness and absorption into the body rendering most products in the market useless. He set out to fix the problem, using his background in Chemical Engineering and experience as a nutritionist, he was able to identify the issues with the current offerings and applied a solution based on sound science. Through research, and many trials and errors, he realized if you could get mineral particles small enough to absorb into our cells, that was going to be the winning formula for effectiveness. That's where he applied nanotechnology to minerals, and developed a solution that makes the minerals we sell today completely bioavailable - the impact of which we can see during our testing protocols. It was then that he set out to create what today is Upgraded Formulas, founded with maximum bioavailability and measurable absorption to ensure you are getting results. In this episode, Barton Scott opens the show explaining the inspiration behind his company, Upgraded Formulas. Unfortunately, typical supplements and our food isn't enough to get all of our minerals. Barton came up with a better way: highly-effective dietary supplements that are absorbed better by the body than any other products. Plus, Barton created a hair test that is ideal for determining your heavy metal toxicity and mineral deficiencies. Tune in as we talk about the importance of testing, which minerals will be helpful with keto, and Barton speaks about his 11-day water fast.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Martha Carlin. She is a Citizen Scientist that takes a systems approach to looking at Parkinson's disease and finds the answers to PD and many chronic diseases may be in our poop. Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com When doctors said her husband's Parkinson's would eventually kill him, Martha Carlin said, “no it won't.” She stepped out of a successful career as a systems expert and into the new role of Citizen Scientist. After years of re-learning the sciences, pouring over research (and commissioning work at the University of Chicago), Martha is now a leading source of deep data on the human biome to unlock preventions and cures for many of our most complex health conditions. Her company, The BioCollective, links personal health history, metagenomics and microbiome analysis to uncover previously unknown links between chronic disease and diet, stress, and environment. She lives with her (thriving) husband John in Lone Tree, Colorado. In this episode, Martha speaks about her obsession with the gut microbiome and how her research helped her husband's Parkinson's diagnosis. We talk about the differences between a healthy gut and an unhealthy gut. Martha reveals the top three things you need to avoid to improve your gut health. Later, we chat all about the products that Martha has developed as a result of her research. If you're interested in improving your gut health, you can find those formulas here: https://biotiquest.com/ (Use Code: KETOK15).

So, Martha started to teach herself about science and the human body. Food and water are the main inputs in the human body. Martha threw out all the food that wasn't organic. After ditching highly refined carbohydrates, Martha's husband started to do much better than most people with Parkinson's. Martha recommends reading Missing Microbes: How the Overuse of Antibiotics Is Fueling Our Modern Plagues: https://www.amazon.com/Missing-Microbes-Overuse-Antibiotics-Fueling/dp/1250069270/benazadi-20 [12:05] Comparing A Healthy Gut To An Unhealthy Gut People who have a relative abundance of streptococcus are in some disease category. Streptococcus loves glucose. Elevated proteobacteria is another sign of an unhealthy gut. There's a study suggesting that people who drink skim milk have a statistically significant increase in Parkinson's risk. [18:30] Glyphosate: The Main Problem That Is Disrupting Your Microbiome The number one thing disrupting the gut microbiome is glyphosate. Most people do not understand how much the use of glyphosate has increased in the last thirty years. Glyphosate changes the biochemistry of the plant. Also, it changes the biochemistry of the soil, which changes the nutritional uptake of a plant. So, you need to eat as organic as possible. Also, make your legislators aware of the glyphosate problems. [23:55] Other Things You Should Avoid To Improve Your Gut Health Avoid high fructose corn syrup. Highly processed sugars will have a significant impact on your microbiome and overall health. The highest consumption of high fructose corn syrup is usually in poor populations. Also, avoid antibiotics to improve your gut health. [28:00] All About The BioCollective and How Martha Wants To Help People Improve Their Health Martha uses the concept of collect, connect, and correct. She collects poop samples, connects the dots, and corrects the problem. Martha has worked with researchers all over the globe using their samples. Now, they formulate different products to help people. Sugar Shift is something that will help you address cravings. BiotiQuest's Sugar Shift helps your gut microbiome transform the unneeded accumulation of sugars (glucose and fructose) into mannitol. Mannitol is a sugar that isn't stored in the body, so it is naturally eliminated. Get Sugar Shift here: https://biotiquest.com/pages/sugar-shift (Use Code: “KETOK15”) [36:05] Help Your Gut By Using Ideal Immunity and Heart Centered    Ideal Immunity is similar to Sugar Shift. However, this particular formula will kill foodborne pathogens. Plus, it works to restore mucosal surfaces in the gut to support your immune system. If you're traveling, Ideal Immunity is great for your gut. Get Ideal Immunity here: https://biotiquest.com/pages/ideal-immunity (Use Code: “KETOK15”) Lastly, Heart Centered is focused on cardiovascular health and lowering blood pressure.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a second time Dr. Cate Shanahan. She is the leading authority on nutrition and human metabolism. Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com A board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience, and NY Times bestselling author of The FatBurn Fix, Deep Nutrition and Food Rules, her expertise is fixing the underlying problems that cause metabolic damage and inflammation, leading to autoimmunity, weight gain, diabetes, cancer and accelerated aging processes. Her passion is helping people feel their best. After getting her BS in biology from Rutgers University, she trained in biochemistry and genetics at Cornell University's graduate school before attending Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She practiced in Hawaii for ten years where she studied ethnobotany and her healthiest patient's culinary habits.  She applied her learning and experiences in all these scientific fields to write Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food. Together with Dr. Tim DiFrancesco and NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the PRO Nutrition program for the LA Lakers and helped forge a partnership between Whole Foods Market and numerous NBA teams.  In May of 2018 she begin  Director of Metabolic Health for ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, a progressive, family-run company interested in saving money by the betterment of health.  She's also the Medical & Scientific Advisor at CB Supplements, overseeing their premium-grade multi collagen protein, and for beliv, a forward-thinking Latin American beverage company.  In this episode, Dr. Cate explains how we are kept on an island of unhealthy seed oils. We chat about how these seeds oils are being stored in our body fat for years at a time and why extended fasts may not be safe for people who are not metabolically healthy. We talk about the differences between monounsaturated, saturated, and polyunsaturated fats. Then, Dr. Cate reveals how dietary linoleic acid omega-6 ends up in our membranes and inner fat cells. Tune in as Dr. Cate chats about the effects of fatty acids on mitochondria and why our mitochondria love a ketogenic lifestyle.

When you're scared of traditional fats, then that opens you up to being hungry for whatever the processed food companies want to feed you. Processed foods always have a lot of seed oils in them. Seed oils are truly toxic.   [06:50] The Differences Between Monounsaturated, Saturated, and Polyunsaturated Fats Monounsaturated is the main fatty acid in olive oil. The most common fats in seed oils are polyunsaturated. Saturated fats are the most common fat in coconut oil. It's also the most prevalent fat in butter. The difference between these fats chemically is the stability to heat. Saturated fats are the most stable and have an antioxidant effect. Polyunsaturated fatty acids oxidize and create oxidative stress.   [12:40] The Metabolic Pathway For How Dietary Linoleic Acid Omega-6 Ends Up In The Membranes and Inner Fat Cells You swallow a potato chip, and it gets broken up in your stomach a few hours later. Then it shows up in your intestinal tract where enzymes from your pancreas break apart the fats in there. Most of the fats are in the form of triglycerides. We have to use lipases in our pancreas to break it up. From there, it goes into the intestinal cells. Later, it gets picked up from your liver. The liver takes it all apart and repackages it in this thing called low-density lipoprotein.   [21:50] How Seed Oils Can Stay In Your Body For Extended Periods of Time Linoleic acid in our fat cells has a long half-life. Body fat is stuck with us until we use it. If you've been eating seed oils your whole life, it will take a couple of years for it to be gone. If you aren't metabolically healthy or fit, you shouldn't do extended fasts because they're releasing so many pro-inflammatory oils all at once.   [27:35] Should I Avoid Peanut Oil or Eat More Peanut Oil? Peanut oil is okay if it's unrefined. In fact, peanut oil is actually good because it's a traditional fat. Some peanuts have oil profiles that are more like olives. There's a lot of variables with plants, so it's hard to be absolute about anything. The best quality peanuts are the larger ones, and they do have a better fatty acid profile.   [33:15] Why Do Some People Think That Seed Oils Are Good For You?   The American Heart Association pumps out 13 journals either weekly or monthly. They're putting out hundreds of articles every year, funded by Procter & Gamble and other companies selling junk food and seed oils. The American Heart Association is giving out the wrong information. Dietitians are doing their homework; their job is to read the wrong pile of articles. The American Heart Association is the biggest fake news organization out there.   [36:30] Effects of Fatty Acids on Mitochondria: Implications For Cell Death Read the article Effects of Fatty Acids on Mitochondria: Implications For Cell Death: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12206909/ This study explains why people who have PUFA in their body fat will feel tired when they go on a diet. PUFA is a terrible fuel for your body cells. The mitochondria will stop producing energy when their fuel is PUFA. When people go on a diet, they feel like they can't do it anymore because they are so tired. Energy loss is a huge part of obesity.   [44:55] Why Ketones Are A Great Energy Source For The Mitochondria Ketones are designed out of your body fat. When you're burning your body fat, and your liver is healthy, it makes ketones for you. Ketones are like predigested fuel. Ketones are a better fuel, and our cells actually work better when they have access to that better fuel. Hearts that have access to ketones can actually pump 30% harder than hearts that don't.   [47:45] The Brain Needs Omega-3 and Omega-6: Here's What You Need To Know Your brain needs omega-3 and omega-6. However, your brain needs longer omega-3 and omega-6. Only fish and animal products can have long versions of omega-3 and omega-6. You have to have these enzymes that elongate them. If you've been eating too much seed oil, your enzymes are not functional, and they don't work very well. Fatty liver is such a devastating disease because it cannot elongate these fatty acids.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Dr. Cate's Website: https://drcate.com Follow Dr. Cate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoctorCate/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drcateshanahan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drcateshanahan/ Listen to Dr Cate Shanahan, The Fatburn Fix, 8 Fats to Avoid on Keto, & Metabolism Myths KKP:178: https://podcasts.apple.com/mn/podcast/dr-cate-shanahan-fatburn-fix-8-fats-to-avoid-on-keto/id1470779784?i=1000488992552 Read the article Effects of Fatty Acids on Mitochondria: Implications For Cell Death: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12206909/ Read The Fat Burn Fix: https://www.amazon.com/Fatburn-Fix-Great-Weight-Using/dp/1250114497/benazadi-20 Get Deep Nutrition: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Nutrition-Your-Genes-Traditional/dp/1250113822/benazadi-20 Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Rebecca Warren. Her approach to thyroid and hormonal health is simple but powerful: get to the cause, then support the body to heal itself. Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com The thyroid doesn't work on its own, so when the thyroid is off, it not only affects the entire endocrine system, but all systems within the body. This is why just getting a thyroid dysfunction diagnosis doesn't mean you'll ever get well, and in fact can make you worse over time. Likewise, hormonal imbalances indicate something is systemically wrong in the body. In Chattanooga and virtually around the world, Dr. Rebecca coaches her clients on optimal thyroid care via customized plans utilizing lab work and testing, supplements, and functional nutrition. In this episode, Dr. Warren gives a massive overview of the thyroid and what you need to know about Reverse T3.

She was being prescribed Metformin, and Angela had insulin resistance. After doing research, Angela started to understand that there was a connection between PCOS and what she ate. When Angela had the surgery for PCOS, she found out about her endometriosis. After having three children, Angela realized there is a connection between the brain, the body, and the impact on your immune system.   [06:30] Advice For Dealing With Depression The first thing you need is acceptance. In life, the only thing you can be certain of is change. Anything you can do to create peace in your life will be helpful to you. If you want to run away from yourself, how are you going to sit with yourself? Work on dealing with small moments first.   [10:40] The Brain and Gut Connection: Depression Is Linked To Leaky Gut About 90% of serotonin is made in the gut. You can help your gut to create more serotonin. Aligning with your circadian rhythm will also improve your brain. Natural light from the sun will significantly improve your circadian rhythm and allow you to get more sleep at night. Women are depleted of vital nutrients, particularly things like DHA in the brain. It takes a woman two years to recover from pregnancy.   [14:10] How You Can Reverse Your PCOS For Good PCOS is a syndrome and is related to insulin resistance. Carbs, stress, and not sleeping will raise your blood sugar. Some people are genetically more carb sensitive. Having protein and healthy fats are really key things that make you feel better. If you have too many carbs, you will feel quite foggy. Another thing that improves insulin sensitivity is strength training.   [21:30] Sleep Is An Essential Pillar of Health   Sleep is going to make everything else in your life easier. In Angela's corporate job, people would brag about only getting three hours of sleep at night. Most people need seven or eight hours of sleep. You are compromising your health and the way you look when you get less than six hours of sleep at night.   [25:35] Tips For Getting Better Sleep At Night How well you sleep tonight is going to be changed by what you did this morning. Get outside early in the morning. That way, you're really regulating the cortisol and melatonin cycle. Red light therapy is also a beneficial tool. Another tip for getting better sleep at night is limiting your exposure to blue lights.   [31:10] Hormones: Know When To Dial Back Your Stressors Make sure you have a nutrient-rich diet and you are not constantly stressing your body out. Everyone should fast for at least twelve hours every day. For women, there's a time when you can push and stress your body, and there are times when you should not. Before your period, you're naturally going to have higher levels of inflammation, so it's time to do less high-intensity exercises and start dialing things back.   [35:00] The Importance of Insights On Your Health Journey You need to know how you feel when you wake up in the morning. If you don't have a way of tracking, then it will be challenging to know when things start to change. If you can't afford trackers, just start with pen and paper. A CGM is probably the best thing you can get to really fine-tune your eating behavior and lifestyle behaviors.   [37:45] Fuel: There Isn't A Perfect Diet That Fits Everyone   There isn't one diet that works for everyone; however, there is a perfect diet for you. You can test some of your genetics to understand your sensitivities around carbs and fats. Eating a more ancestral diet is really important; take out processed foods. How you treat your body is the greatest gift you can give yourself.   [42:30] Train Your Body and Train Your Mind You need strength training to maintain and build muscle mass. Also, you want to do some cardiovascular training. The more muscle mass you have, the better insulin sensitivity you're going to have as well. Walking is underrated; you need to get up and get your steps.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Angela's Website: https://angelafosterperformance.com/ Your Total Health Check: https://www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com/ Follow Angela Foster Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelasfoster/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AngelaFosterPerformance/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-foster-/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7ygt0Kro_Mqax2nLtz-yqQ Join the Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Listen to High Performance Health: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/high-performance-health/id1470595534 Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

She felt sad and depressed as a stay-at-home mom.  Tara started weightlifting because the gym by her house only had weights and treadmills.  After lifting weights for eight months, Tara looked exactly the same. So, she decided to switch her nutrition – she went from 40% body fat to 11% body fat.  Then, Tara found keto. She felt healthy in both her mind and her body.    [11:20] The Discomfort That You Have To Go Through Is Temporary The life of your dreams is a life of alignment with yourself and your authentic self. Exercising and diet is a temporary stressor.  You aren't going to be stressed forever.  The actions required for you to gain muscle is going to suck. However, your body is excellent at retaining muscle. So, the discomfort is temporary.  How you see yourself matters way more than how everyone else sees you.    [17:30] Why You Need To Align With Your Truth Most people know that they need to stop exercising and sleep more. If you have hypothyroidism, you're super inflamed, your CRP is off the charts, and you're exhausted, then yes, you need to sleep more! Training is inflammatory, and if you're already inflamed, there will be problems.  You already know what you need to do; listen to your body. Trust your feelings.    [21:15] Why You Don't Want To Be In Ketosis For Your Entire Life If you love being in ketosis, you can stay in it for as long as you want.  If keto doesn't feel as good as it used to, then you may want to switch things up.  Keto impacts our neurotransmitters and our mental health. When you eat a diet that is mostly fat and protein, your body will favor dopamine production.  When you eat a diet that's mostly carbs and protein, you will favor serotonin production.  If you're not eating carbs, you're not going to favor serotonin production as much.  One of the reasons you should carb cycle is to improve your emotions and mood.    [31:20] Guess What? Insulin Isn't The Enemy!  If you don't have high blood sugar, then insulin isn't the enemy. Insulin is an energy shuttling hormone. It takes glucose and places it in our bodies.  We can store anywhere from 350 up to 800 grams of carbohydrates in our liver and muscles.  Athletes can eat a lot of carbohydrates and not be obese because of the energy they are using.  If you aren't exercising, your body will store carbohydrates as fat storage.    [36:00] Tara Always Trains When She Is Fasted – Here's Why Tara always trains fasted; it's great for your metabolism. If you are healthy, you should be able to train fasted in the morning. If you can't train fasted, then you have some work to do with your blood sugar regulation.  Tara will thrive off of adrenaline during a fasted workout. Eating will bring your adrenaline down.    [39:20] Adrenals and Salt: The Importance of Sodium On Keto If you don't have enough salt on keto, your kidneys will excrete aldosterone, and then you'll start to have high adrenaline and high cortisol long-term. Rushing women syndrome is a hallmark of adrenal stress.  If you're not okay with sitting still and being calm, then you have adrenal stress.  Also, if you feel overwhelmed, then you have adrenal fatigue.  So, make sure to monitor your salt intake.    [43:55] Are You Scared of Carbs? How To Address Carbophobia  We have to foster a healthy mindset around the fact that you're not eating carbs when you're doing keto. Carbs are not going to kill you.  China has an obesity rate of 5 to 6%, they eat more rice than any other country in the world.  In America, we have a 42.4% obesity rate. It's not just carbs that are making you fat.  Carbohydrates are not inherently bad for us. It's what happened to our metabolism from sitting all day, overconsumption, and processed foods.    [50:20] When You Should Start Implementing Carbohydrates   During keto, if you don't feel that great anymore, it's time to start eating carbs again.  If you're working out more, you can start using carbohydrates to fuel your body and workouts.  If you're not sleeping well and have diarrhea, you should introduce carbohydrates again. Being moody is also a sign that you need to add carbohydrates.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Tara's Website: https://www.taragarrison.com/ Inside Out Health Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-out-health-with-coach-tara-garrison/id1468368093 Follow Tara Garrison  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachtaragarrison/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/taragarrisonpersonal Twitter: https://twitter.com/coachtarag TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coachtaragarrison Get Short-Term Keto: A 4-Week Plan to Find Your Unique Carb Threshold: https://www.amazon.com/Short-Term-Keto-28-Day-Unique-Threshold/dp/1628604409/benazadi-20 Upgraded Formulas (code ketokamp): https://www.upgradedformulas.com/products/hair-kit-test Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a FIFTH time Dr. Benjamin Bikman. He is a biomedical scientist, professor, and expert on insulin resistance. 

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Tom O'Bryan. He is a recognized world expert on gluten and its impact on health. He is an internationally recognized and sought after speaker and workshop leader specializing in the complications of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, Celiac Disease, and the development of Autoimmune Diseases, as they occur inside and outside of the intestines. Dr. Tom is the founder of theDr.com and the visionary behind ‘The Gluten Summit – A Grain of Truth', one of the first online summits, that brought together 29 of the world's experts on the Gluten connection to diseases, disorders, and a wide-range of symptoms and ages. Creator of the groundbreaking documentary series “Betrayal: The Autoimmune Disease Solution They're Not Telling You”, Dr. Tom led a global investigation with the world's leaders in health, into why our immune system, designed to protect us, begins attacking our own tissue (autoimmunity). Currently, over 500,000 people worldwide have watched the Docuseries Betrayal. His 2016 critically acclaimed ground-breaking book, ‘The Autoimmune Fix' outlines the step-by-step development of degenerative diseases and gives us the tools to identify a dis-ease process years before the symptoms are obvious. Winner of the National Book Award and ranked #1 in several categories on Amazon.com, ‘The Autoimmune Fix' offers a cutting-edge protocol on how to turn one's life and health around, one “base hit” at a time. Free Gift From Dr Tom O'Bryan: The Autoimmune Disease Solution They're Not Telling You. https://thedr.com/autoimmune-solution/ In this episode, Dr. Tom speaks about discovering his lead poisoning that created a cataract at age 42. Then, Dr. Tom dives into the five pillars that contribute to disease in the gut. He reminds us that all disease begins in the leaky gut. We talk about how the human body has ten times more bacteria in the gut than all the cells in the human body. Tune in as dig deep around other topics, including autoimmune diseases, vaccines in children, and metabolites of the microbiome.

By the time he was 42, Dr. Tom started to have vision problems. Tom had a cataract. An asymmetrical cataract in a 42-year-old guy is unusual. After doing some research, Dr. Tom saw that lead poisoning could trigger his health issues. When Dr. Tom tested himself for lead poisoning, he had the highest levels of lead that he had ever seen. Tom grew up one block from the Ford assembly line with no government regulations for heavy metal filtration. He was sucking in a lot of lead as a kid.  [16:30] Five Pillars That Contribute To Chronic Disease Intestinal permeability is a Zonulin modulated mechanism. When you have too much Zonulin being secreted, your cells are open too much, too frequently, and too large. All disease begins in the leaky gut. There are five mechanisms that create the perfect storm in developing chronic inflammatory diseases: Genetics Environmental Triggers The impact of the environmental triggers on the microbiome in your gut Leaky gut Systemic inflammation in the body [37:25] You Have 10 Times More Bacteria In The Gut Than All The Cells In The Human Body A teaspoon of poop has more bacteria than all the stars in the known universe. Every forkful of what you put in your mouth will feed good bacteria or bad bacteria. It will take months and months and months to change the environment of your microbiome. Taking a capsule of probiotics each day will not fix your gut. [40:20] Most Bacteria In Your Gut Have 100 To 150 More Genes Than The Entire Human Genome Are we really humans with a whole lot of bacteria? Or are we bacteria having a human experience? Genes determine function; every scientist knows that. The genes that get activated stimulate the production of the proteins that determine action. Is bacteria running the ship, or are genes running the ship? [42:10] 36% of All The Molecules In Your Bloodstream Are The Metabolites From The Gut Bacteria produce exhaust; that exhaust is called the metabolites. Those metabolites get into your bloodstream. 36% of all the small molecules in your bloodstream are the metabolites of the microbiome. The more bacteria you have, the stronger the message. Whenever you have brain dysfunction, you need to fix the gut. Remember, all disease begins in the gut. [51:40] The Autoimmune Disease Solution They're Not Telling You Tom interviewed 85 different people who are the world leaders in autoimmune diseases. If you choose to do vaccines, you should give your children one at a time. You should never give children six vaccines at once. With multiple vaccines, there will be an inflammatory response.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. John Demartini. He is a polymath and a world-renowned human behavior expert. He has over 4 decades of research across multiple disciplines. His work has been described by students as the "most comprehensive body of work", "an extensive library of wisdom" and "wisdom of the highest and most valuable order" Dr. Demartini's mission and vision is to share knowledge and wisdom that empowers you to become a master of your own life and destiny. He's an internationally published author, a global educator and the founder of the Demartini Method, a revolutionary tool in modern psychology. His education curriculum ranges from personal growth seminars to corporate empowerment programs.

It's critical to find the values that fill your voids; Dr. Demartini explains precisely how to do this. Later, we talk about how you can choose to see the downside or the upside when it comes to your daily life, especially during Covid. Tune in as we chat about the importance of gratitude and how keeping a gratitude journal can change your life.   Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [04:10] The Impact Psychology Can Have on Your Physical Health   Dr. Demartini has seen hundreds of cases where psychology impacts the progression and regression of chronic conditions.    His inspiration is to share the wisdom synthesized from 1000s of years of knowledge from theologians, philosophers, Nobel prize laureates, and other great minds in science, business, finance, and health. Many people do not appreciate the work Dr. Demartini does. However, other people's opinions don't matter to him. What matters is the data that is in front of him.    [15:45] Affirmations That Are Deeply Meaningful Will Work For You The word affirmation means a condition of firmness in one's mind. Putting great quotes in front of your mind is valuable. You should say something deeply meaningful and really aligned with what you value most.  Things that are just positive thinking can be delusional.  [17:45] The Differences Between Motivation and Inspiration   Every human being lives moment by moment by a set of priorities. Whenever they're doing something that's extremely high on their values, they are spontaneously inspired from within intrinsically to act. Anything that's low in your values you need motivation for extrinsically. So, you need to find what truly is valuable for you to do.  [22:05] How You Can Find Values In Your Voids Every time we judge, we create an emptiness. There's love and judgment. With love, we have fulfillment. With judgment, we have emptiness.  You can't judge someone and feel whole.  Voids come from judgments; they leave us empty, and they want us to be fulfilled. When we live by our highest priority, we have the most fulfillment in life. Human beings and biological organisms grow most at the border of support and challenge. [26:45] During Covid, You Can Choose To See The Downside or The Upside “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” – John Milton There is nothing in the universe that's inherently good or evil, or positive or negative. Everyone has had something negative happen in their lives. When you look back on it six months later, usually you're grateful that it happened.  Illusions of one-sidedness are incomplete awareness. During Covid, you can choose to see the downside, and you can choose to see the upside.  If you are comparing your current reality to the past or future and you're not being present, you're missing out on the moment of the magnificence of what it can be doing. [31:50] Bringing Things In The Balance Heals Physical Ailments  You really can't have balanced physiology with an imbalanced perception. When you perceive things that support your values, the parasympathetic comes online.  When you perceive things that challenge your values, the sympathetic comes online.  If you bring those into perfect balance, your heart rate variability is increased, your resilience and adaptability increases, your cardiovascular quotient is improved, your immune system is stabilized and improved. You need both support and challenge to maximize growth and development. Remember, maximum growth and development occur at the border of order and chaos.  [37:20] The Greatest Intelligence Discovered In The Universe   Where does life originate? There are all kinds of theories.  Dr. Demartini is a cytonaut; he studied the origin of cellular and precellular life.  He went on a journey through the creation and evolution of the minuscule cytoworld.  In his book, Dr. Demartini retraces the four-billion-year history of life on Earth, from the first biomolecules to the human mind and beyond. Check out The Mysteries of the Living Cell: https://drdemartini.com/program/empyreance-vii/ [47:40] The Importance of Developing A Practice For Gratitude  Gratitude is a perfectly equilibrated mind.  Gratitude and love are homeostatic. When we're living authentically, our heart opens, and we feel grace. When we're authentic, we are spontaneously grateful for our very presence in this universe. If you don't fill your day with challenges that inspire you, your day fills up with a challenge that doesn't.  [52:05] How Dr. Demartini Practices Gratitude on a Daily Basis   Dr. Martini takes time to write about his gratitude every single day.  Your life is filled with so many things you can be grateful for if you take the time to do it.

Don't get lost in the minor details.  If you have genetic sequencing done, you can use that for SelfDecode. If you don't have one, you can purchase it from them.    [11:25] You Don't Feel Well Because You Are Eating An Unsuitable Diet Many people are attracted to a diet when they notice they feel better from it. Joe eats a low-carb and meat-based diet. Genetics has something to say about how people digest carbs. Some genes are related to how people interact with their diet.  Many genes are related to how people process fats.   [18:05] About The Sleep Deficit and What Problems Joe Will See With Sleep Sleep is an art.  Sleep is something that people have to be conscious of and not take for granted.  There's a lot of things that could go wrong with sleep.  Some problems that you could be having with your sleep: Not enough REM Not enough slow-wave Waking up in the middle of the night Having to pee Not getting a good rhythm  Waking up from the light too early Light in the room at night Poor temperature Eating too late As you can see, so many things can go wrong with your sleep. If you don't sleep well, you are not going to feel well. If you aren't tracking your sleep, you will never know.    [22:55] Light Exposure Is Great For Feeling More Productive   If you don't go outside during the day, you aren't going to feel as good.  Joe gets at least three hours of light a day. When he gets light, he notices an impact.  You need at least two hours a day minimum.  The more light you get each day, the better off you are going to be.  Don't wear your sunglasses!  If you don't get a lot of sun exposure, red light therapy can be the next best option.    [29:30] How Unhappiness and Stress Can Affect Your Health Journey  One of the main contributors affecting your longevity and health has to do with stress. The people who live longer deal with stress a lot better. Stress really is detrimental to the body in many ways. If you don't have good personal relationships, that can cause a lot of stress.  Community is another great way to feel better and less stressed.    [36:30] Natural Stressors Are A Great Way To Feel Better  Exercise is a great natural stressor. Other stressors include cold and hot therapies.  Changing your diet is another stressor. If you aren't stressing your mind and your body, then you aren't going to grow.    [38:05] Environmental Toxins Are Causing Health Problems  VOCs, mold, and environmental pollution are causing health problems.  Open up your windows every single day to help with environmental toxins.  Getting outside will also be helpful.  When you breathe in the fresh air, it helps your immune system.    [43:55] What's The Difference Between Genetic Risk and Overall Risk?  Risk is a probabilistic number.  You can prevent genetic risks by living a healthy lifestyle. If you have a high risk for something, that doesn't mean you will get it.  Overall, having a high genetic risk doesn't mean you actually have a high risk.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out SelfHacked: https://selfhacked.com/ Learn more about SelfDecode: https://selfdecode.com/ (use code KETOKAMP) Get the LabTestAnalyzer: https://www.labtestanalyzer.com/ Follow Joe Cohen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrbiohacker/ Follow SelfDecode Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/selfdecode/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/selfdecode Twitter: https://twitter.com/SelfDecode Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_H Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

It was more sheltered than most people in China.  She grew up in an environment of learning and pursuing knowledge. However, Dr. Kong was also a bit of a rebel. Dr. Kong never liked rules that didn't make sense. She has been getting in trouble since kindergarten.  Overall, Dr. Kong learned that your environment can give you a certain strength or put you in a certain restraint.   [03:45] The Differences In China and America When It Comes To Healthcare  China has the biggest population in the world.  There are two medical systems. People can choose to go into Chinese medicine or go into Western medicine. People who go into Chinese medicine also have to learn the whole Western medicine system. Only when people get great benefits will they start to accept a new approach to healthcare.  Just because studies aren't in English, doesn't mean they don't exist.    [09:20] Can The Aging Process Slow Down For Humans?  There are all these markers and symptoms of aging; we still haven't been able to label aging as a disease. Aging is a comorbidity. However, aging is just part of human life.  Some people will have a heart attack and die, while others will live until their late nineties. Which way do you want your life to be? We need to pay attention to optimizing our bodies, so we don't suddenly have health issues as we age.    [13:40] Stem Cells Have The Power and Potential To Do A Lot For Your Body  Each stem cell contains this full package of intelligence that actually makes being a human possible. A single stem cell has so much potential.  How well a stem cell treatment works will depend on where the stem cells came from and how well they are made.  Dr. Kong will get a stem cell treatment for herself every three months.    [16:40] Are Stem Cells The Key To Humans Living Longer?  Studies have come out looking at the potential capabilities of stem cells to prolong life and extend healthspan. In a study of rats and mice, a simple stem cell infusion can actually extend their lifespan by about 30%. Plus, it preserves their physical capabilities and mental capacities.  If you can prevent the aging process, then you prevent the whole cascade to disease. You can avoid a lot of suffering by getting a stem cell treatment.    [23:15] What To Know About Stem Cell Therapy With Dr. Kong First of all, before stem cells, there is a very comprehensive evaluation.  Then, a naturopathic doctor will go over your entire history.  Next, Dr. Kong will address deficiencies that are going on in your body. Plus, Dr. Kong will suggest lifestyle changes that she wants her patients to make. That way, you will have optimal results.  Depending on what the patient needs, Dr. Kong will create a treatment plan. Check out Dr. Kong's website: https://theacrm.com   [27:25] Who Can Benefit From Stem Cell Treatments?  If you are over age 35, you will start to notice aging.  Everyone above age 35 can benefit from stem cells.  Even if you are much older, stem cells will still benefit you.  When researchers gave old rats stem cells, their lifespan tripled.  The key is enhancing your quality of life with stem cells.    [30:15] Natural Ways To Produce More Stem Cells In Your Body Fasting and intermittent fasting are powerful tools.  Dr. Kong doesn't eat before noon every day – at least 16 hours of fasting.  What you eat will be the foundation of your body. Let food be your medicine.  We need to respect the vessel that we are gifted.   [32:00] Aging: What Is Really Happening In The Human Body?  When we age, we are running out of stem cells.  Being alive means we are getting damaged.  As long as you have enough cells to replace what's damaged, then you're good. Stem cells are the engine of the body. If you don't have an engine, then you're not going to get anywhere.    [37:15] Dr. Kong Recommends Supplements That Will Help Cellular Function  Dr. Kong says vitamin D is so essential.  Omega 3 is also important.  Fulvic acid is one of Dr. Kong's favorites.  Ben even puts fulvic acid in his dog's water bowl.    [41:30] The Inspiration Behind Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician Get Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician: https://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Beijing-Inspirational-Regenerative-Physician/dp/1647139740/benazadi-20 This book is about Dr. Kong's dream to come to the United States. However, she had every card stacked against her.  The first chapter starts with getting her visa rejected; it was one of the biggest obstacles in her life.  Dr. Kong is grateful for America, and she feels like she belongs here.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Kong's Website: https://theacrm.com Get Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician: https://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Beijing-Inspirational-Regenerative-Physician/dp/1647139740/benazadi-20 Follow Dr. Kong Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiger_of_beijing/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stemcelldrjoy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drjoykong LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-kong-md-4b8627123/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DluAQkmwalQ Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  In this episode, you'll discover: [4:24] Dr. Nasha's first experience with cancer At the age of 19, Dr. Nasha was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. She was given 3 to 6 months to live, even with treatment. She was filled with ascites, metastatic lesions, crippled in extreme pain and nausea, had infections simmering, severe malnourishment, and muscle wasting. Her doctors told her that chemo and surgery wouldn't help her advanced cancer. The diagnosis of terminal cancer suddenly shook her awake and asked her point-blank if she wanted to live or die. It had taken countless doctors over six months to stop making assumptions and defaulting to writing scripts from A (anxiolytics) to Z (Zithromax).  Dr. Nasha was forced to explore alternative methods. Luckily, she was blessed with an ER doctor who allowed her the time to share the chronology of her symptoms and truly listen. In the last 6 months, Dr. Nasha have seen 5 girls under the age of 10 with Stage IV Ovarian cancer.  Dr. Nasha acknowledges that her past experiences of significant trauma and abuse contributed to her illness.   [17:42] What is The Gerson Therapy? The Gerson Therapy was popularized in the 1940s by Dr. Charlotte Gerson. Dr. Gerson had amazing experience of solving all kinds of oncology situations by putting people on a very vegetable-densed high potassium, low sodium chloride diet.  The key parts of the Gerson therapy are a strict diet, dietary supplements, and enemas.   [24:12] Sharing authentically is very powerful for healing the body.  The theory that changing mental state can affect the course of cancer has been popularized by authors such as Bernie Siegel and Deepak Chopra.  A support group program called Exceptional Cancer Patients (ECap) developed by Dr. Siegel found that women with breast cancer has a higher chance of survival rate when they are part of a support group. Take The ACE Quiz - According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study, the rougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be and the higher your risk for later health problems.   [27:45] The Cancer Experience Having been diagnosed with cancer felt a very dirty secret for Dr. Nasha. The first person that she has told about her diagnosis then is now her husband.  The hardest thing when you are dealing with a cancer diagnosis is the well-meaning advice and wishes of the people in your circle.  You could take every perfect supplement. You could be in perfect metabolic flexibility. You can have an incredibly immaculate clean environment. But, if you are not dealing with the emotional healing within yourselves, you are not gonna get very far. You are not gonna get the outcomes you are hoping to achieve. People have to come to it when they are ready. Check out this resource from Dr. Nasha: 5 Steps to Take After a Cancer Diagnosis   [34:38] Top tools to heal your body At 16, Dr. Nasha decided to become a ‘vegetarian'.  A Chinese medical practitioner looked at her tongue and told her, “You have to eat some animal food.” TEST. ASSESS. ADDRESS. Adjust accordingly. Consistently do your labs. Do not guess. Do not compare.  Dr. Nasha advices people diagnosed with cancer to not tell everybody in the beginning. When you tell your loved ones, you deal with their reactions and you don't get the opportunity to work on your own. [41:28] Issue with eating every two to three hours When we eat that often, we don't give ourselves the bowel rest we need so that everything can clear up and evacuate. You have to give that window of autophagy to take out the garbage. Somewhere between 12 to 72 hours (depending on the person and situation), that's what it'll take to get some autophagy.  If you fast 13 hours a day and you are eating clean and relatively low carb, you will shift into some moderate autophagy.  When you are dealing with cancer, you'd want to moderate or lower your protein to avoid clicking on the mTOR pathways.  Kick-up your fats and restrict your carbohydrates to stay off the insulin growth factor aspect.  Bring in some intermittent fasting.  13 hours everyday, 16 to 18 hours twice a week, 3 days a month of fasting.  Walk towards to water fasting.  If you feel hungry, drink water. If after 15 minutes, you are still hungry, have a teaspon of coconut oil. After 15 minutes again, have a little bit of protein. If you are still hungry after that, eat a piece of fruit.  Hunger is more psychological than physical.    [47:30] Tips for people who are recovering from surgery  Understand why did we get here. We can't completely heal and stay healed in the soil in which we got sick. Learn about The Terrain Ten, Dr. Winters's cancer program for achieving optimal health See a prostate specialist to have a look for infectious agents.  Do some basic good laboratory assessment. Rule of thumb specific for prostate cancer only:  Avoid poultry skin and dairy. If you want dairy, take occasional heavy sour cream.  Quality is key. We don't want extras because extras are all cancer drivers. Avoid red meat especially if you have the ACSL1.  Monitor both free and total PSA and PAP. Get a BIOCEPT prostate profile and circulating tumor cell count enumeration.   [52:36] Fasting, Keto and Skin Cancer: Myths and Facts All of us could benefit from a lower carbohydrate diet and higher plant intake diet.  Sugar drives the viral process. Melanoma is not a skin cancer. It is a systemic cancer. It is one of the cancers that the Gerson Diet does a pretty good job with.  Low carb diet to vegetarian diet Apply soap to pits and parts. Do not damage the absorption process of your skin.  Get a good bath every two weeks.  Skin tags are blood sugars. If you see skin tags, you are looking at diabetes.  [60:00] Test. Assess. Address. Dr. Nasha encourages everyone to run at least annually a complete metabolic panel (CMP),  complete blood count (CBC), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH) Test. Awareness is the first step. Make sure you vitamin D levels are above 50, if you are not dealing with a chronic illness. Even though an LDH test is useful in diagnosing tissue damage, other tests are usually necessary to pinpoint the location of the damage. One such test is called the LDH isoenzymes test. LDH isoenzymes are five kinds of the LDH enzyme that are found in specific concentrations in different organs and tissues.    [68:00]  What is The BRCA gene? The name “BRCA” is an abbreviation for “BReast CAncer gene.” BRCA1 and BRCA2 are two different genes that have been found to impact a person's chances of developing breast cancer. When a BRCA gene is mutated, it may no longer be effective at repairing broken DNA and helping to prevent breast cancer. Because of this, people with a BRCA gene mutation are more likely to develop breast cancer, and more likely to develop cancer at a younger age. The carrier of the mutated gene can also pass a gene mutation down to his or her offspring.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Email me at support@ketokamp.com Claim my FREE Keto Kickstart Guide: www.ketokickstartguide.com Subscribe to the Keto Kamp YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/ketokamp  Register for my FREE intermittent fasting masterclass: http://www.intermittentfastingmasterclass.com To know more about Dr. Nasha Winters, visit her website here.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Max MacCloud. Dr. Max (Max B. MacCloud, DO, ND, PhD) is the developer of Superfood Protein Mix and all of our formulations, he's also the founder of Body Symphony. In addition to serving as Chief Medical & Science Officer he is in charge of ongoing product development and continually tweaking our products to make them even better. He also oversees and supervises production to ensure quality.  As a chunky 12 year old kid, he discovered the benefits of exercise and proper nutrition and transformed himself into one of the fittest kids around (placing in the top 3 in the tri-state area in the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Challenge all 4 years of High School). Optimum Health became his passion early on and he continues to learn more and apply those findings to make even better products. In this episode, Dr. Max talks about how he got started in the health space and the inspiration behind his company, Body Symphony. Dr. Max explains how Otto Warburg discovered, demonstrated, and basically proved the underlying mechanism of cancer. Then, we do a deep dive into homeostasis in the body and how fasting can be a great way to achieve homeostasis. Tune in as we chat about consuming baking soda to get carbon dioxide production and how to protect ourselves from dangerous electromagnetic fields.

The primary cause of cancer is disruption of mitochondrial respiration. The mitochondria can use oxygen for respiration.  90 plus percent of all the energy our bodies use comes from the mitochondria. However, they need oxygen to work.  If the mitochondria are deprived of oxygen for too long, they will die. [21:20] What Is Homeostasis In The Human Body?  What's the underlying mechanism of health and the loss of health? Basically, it comes back to homeostasis. Homeostasis is simply balanced and harmonious body chemistry. If you're looking at the blood, one of the prime indicators of homeostasis is blood sugar level. Every cell of our body is an electromagnet, and we are electrochemical, energetic organisms.  Manmade electricity will interfere with and conflict with our homeostasis.  [27:20] How To Mitigate The Damage From Electromagnetic Fields Get away from the Wi-Fi and hardwire your devices. Shield yourself whenever possible.  Get a lead shield underneath your laptop.  Dr. Max has a copper impregnated canopy for his bedroom.  Do not allow smart meters in your home. Learn more at InPower Movement: https://inpowermovement.com/ [33:05] How Fasting Can Be A Great Way To Achieve Homeostasis In The Body  One of the main ways that people disrupt homeostasis is eating.  Stress of any kind is going to at least temporarily upset homeostasis. If it's something that your body can adapt to, it will make your body stronger. For instance, exercise is a stress that will make your body stronger.  No matter how healthy food is, if you can't digest it, then it's a poison. The most direct thing a person can do to get control back of their body and support homeostasis is to stop eating. Increase the time that you're in homeostasis by increasing your window of fasting. [47:30] Consuming Baking Soda To Get Carbon Dioxide Production Start with half a teaspoon of baking soda.  Eventually, increase it to a teaspoon.  If you have diarrhea, then you did too much.  Keep it moderate!  Dr. Max likes to mix it with apple cider vinegar.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Sam Apple. He is on the faculty of the MA in Science Writing and MA in Writing programs at Johns Hopkins. Prior to his arrival at Johns Hopkins, Apple taught creative writing and journalism at the University of Pennsylvania for ten years. He holds a BA in English and Creative Writing from the University of Michigan and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Columbia University. Apple is the author of Ravenous American Parent, and Schlepping Through the Alps. He has published short stories, personal essays, satires, and journalistic features on a wide range of topics. In recent years, he has primarily written about science and health. His work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Wired, The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times Magazine, ESPN The Magazine, The MIT Technology Review, and McSweeney's, among many other publications. Schlepping Through the Alps was a finalist for the PEN America Award for a first work of nonfiction. In this episode, Sam talks about the inspiration behind his book Ravenous: Otto Warburg, the Nazis, and the Search for the Cancer-Diet. We dive into Otto Warburg's work and how the Nazis protected him for his cancer science. Sam explains how sugar can promote cancer growth and what steps you can take to lower your insulin levels. Tune in as we chat about fasting, therapies for cancer, and the importance of exercise.

Plus, Gary Taubes inspired him. Sam was really surprised to learn that that cancer was associated with diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. He wanted to dig further on the connection between cancer and metabolic disease.  [02:10] The Nazis Protected Warburg For His Cancer Research In 1923, Warburg makes this famous discovery called the Warburg Effect. Cancer cells take up a lot more glucose than other cells and burn it without oxygen; they ferment it, just like microorganisms do. Warburg also has made other discoveries about how cells breathe and use oxygen. He wins the Nobel Prize in 1931. In 1933, the Nazis come along. Despite having a Jewish father and being openly gay, the Nazis protected Warburg because they were interested in his cancer research. [06:50] Warburg's Studies Started To Disappear After The War After the war, Warburg's cancer research really starts to disappear. Australia in the 1950s famously discovered the structure of DNA. Eventually, we had a new sort of genetic understanding of cancer where we can now identify specific mutations. So, how cells take up glucose and shift their metabolism was considered irrelevant because of the study of genetics. Warburg's studies take peoeple back to diet, and there's a huge bias against taking diet seriously. [12:20] What Sugar Does To Promote Cancer Growth If cancer is about these metabolic shifts inside of a cell, what is it about the way we eat that affects the way a cell eats? In America, one out of three women are diagnosed with cancer within their lifetime. For men, it's about one in two. Cancer is closely linked to obesity. 13 of the deadliest cancers have been solidly linked to obesity. Sam wanted to know if obesity was causing cancer or if something was driving both. Elevated levels of the hormone insulin are responsible for obesity and give microscopic cancers a chance to grow and thrive. What is it about our diet that causes insulin to rise? Sugar! The increase in sugar consumption maps pretty closely to the rise of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. [19:30] How A Keto Diet That Will Help You Prevent Cancer Sam is a huge believer that keto is a logical way to prevent cancer. The single most important thing you can do to improve your odds for cancer prevention is to keep your insulin levels low. Hyperinsulinemia promotes the growth of cancer. So, it's important to follow a diet that keeps your insulin levels down. [22:20] Intermittent Fasting Is Another Great Way To Lower Insulin Intermittent fasting is one very successful strategy for keeping insulin down. If you can fast consistently, it seems to work quite effectively on lowering insulin. Fasting can lead to weight loss because it lowers insulin levels in the body. Sam wants to point out that thin people can still have insulin resistance. In some ways, being naturally thin can actually be a disadvantage because you can't store subcutaneous fat. [26:30] How To Optimize Insulin and Glucose Levels To Be Proactive Instead of Reactive You can't outrun a bad diet. However, exercise can help you feel better and make you more inspired to follow a low-carb diet. After workouts, you can be inspired to eat healthily and continue to feel good. Once you understand that sugar is linked to cancer, it should help you ditch it during mealtime. [38:30] Finding Therapies To Target Specific Cancer Mutations When cancer can eat lots of glucose, it's no longer thinking about dying; it's thinking about doing a lot more things. Based on which particular mutation you have, the oncologist will devise a treatment. Unfortunately, targeted therapies to specific mutations haven't been as successful as we would have liked. However, there are some cases where therapies will successfully target mutations. [42:25] The Best Preventative Measures To Preventing Cancer In The Future Eliminate sugar from your diet. Definitely eliminate liquid sugar from your diet. If you are insulin resistant, you need to reduce those insulin levels. Stop smoking. Cut out refined carbohydrates.

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

In nursing school, Bitten learned that you suppress your appetite if you smoke. So that's why she started smoking. Then, Bitten became an alcoholic. Addiction is about the brain and how your brain reacts to substances. At age 33, Bitten fell in love with addiction medicine. Bitten knew that she was using ice cream and chocolate the same way she would use alcohol.   [13:00] Addiction Is All About What Is Happening In Your Brain You can be addicted to something with just small amounts. Addiction is all about what is going on in your brain. You don't have to eat a lot or drink a lot to be an addict. As time goes on, you will increase how much you are drinking or eating. Each drug that comes into your life, you become addicted to faster and faster.   [15:10] How To Identify Whether or Not Your Addiction Is Real There's a difference between harmful use and addiction. You need to figure out which one you have because there will be different treatments. Harmful users are emotional eaters. They eat when they are sad, happy, stressed, etc. There are all kinds of reasons why people will overeat. Ask a harmful user, “why?” There will be an answer. You can't ask “why” to addict because it's a primary illness; it doesn't have a cause. Instead, you need to ask addicts how you can help them. Some problems that addiction will cause: Eating alone Poor economy Poor health Poor relationships Mood swings Loss of energy   [28:45] How To Start Living a Ketogenic Lifestyle if You're An Addict The keto diet is the best diet for broken brains and for addicts. You will need tremendous support going from junk foods to keto foods. Screen yourself for sugar addiction on Bitten's website here: https://www.bittensaddiction.com/en/addiction/sugar-addiction/ Remember, addiction is a serious brain illness. The more symptoms you have, the longer you've had it, the more severe it is. So, it's critical to find support before starting the journey to keto.   [39:15] It's Not What You Think: Take An LSD Trip To Improve Your Health To increase insulin sensitivity, you have to walk a long slow distance (LSD). An LSD trip is one of Bitten's favorite tools. If you're going from junk food to keto, you need tools in your toolbelt. One great tool is LSD walks. Promise yourself that you will take long walks and eat your keto foods.   [55:35] Do Addicts Need To Stay Away From Natural Sweeteners? If you're having a hard time with sugar, natural sweeteners can be useful. However, anything sweet will be a trigger for addicts. Seeing things and smelling things are also triggers. It's not about willpower; it's all about the involuntary reaction in your brain.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Bitten Johnson's Website: https://www.bittensaddiction.com/ Follow Bitten Johnson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bittensaddiction/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BittenJonsson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bittensaddiction/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjACTQb2C2J6yRhd7dcX5rw Join the Facebook Group Sugarbomb in Your Brain: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1682784168624569/ Watch Ben on Bitten's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJcSaTpCO84 Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

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

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

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

You are in for a treat on this one. I know I may say that a lot in other episodes, but this one literally is about treats and about food and about all kinds of tactics that we can use to get our health better. Specifically, we're going to be talking about keto. And you've probably heard of keto. You may have done it, you know, or you know, someone who has But what exactly is it? Well, I am going to chat with a Keto fanatic and fellow podcaster and host of the Kido camp podcast, Ben Azadi keto campus with a K on the camp. Ben has had many of the top health influencers on his own show and shares an incredible amount of knowledge on his Instagram account. Now a little bit of background on Ben in 2008. He went through a personal health transformation, which we'll talk about in the show and he actually lost over 80 pounds of pure fat. Ever since then, Ben has been on a mission to help 1 billion people live a healthier lifestyle. He is the author of four best selling books, keto flex, the perfect health booklet, the intermittent fasting cheating sheet and the power of sleep. Ben has been the go to source for intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet and that's why I'm so excited to have him on the show. He is known as the health detective because he investigates dysfunction he educates not medicate and to bring the body back to normal function. He is the founder of keto camp. As I mentioned, it is a global brand, bringing awareness to ancient healing strategies such as the keto diet and fasting.Support the show (https://www.instagram.com/sleepbiohacker/)

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

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

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

After traveling, Scott learned about the connection between diet and diseases. Scott went to a school where he learned all about the connections between disease and diet. He ended up writing three books on the connections. Scott loves to talk about the idea of cleansing; it's the idea of eating very clean for certain periods of time.   [16:30] The Research Behind Cognitive-Enhancing Plants Scott always hires people smarter than him. Through Brain Toniq, Scott met someone who was extremely knowledgeable in botany. He understands the power of plants in healing humanity. It took a long time to find the right ingredients for Scott's products – many iterations were too bitter for consumers. Scott started Synaptic Scientific because he's interested in feeding the system with plant-based ingredients that nourish the mind.   [23:45] What You'll Notice After Using Cognition From Synaptic Scientific What a supplement does for one person will be different for somebody else. Any cognitive boosting plant or compound will markedly improve a variety of mental functions. Ingredients that Scott includes in Cognition: Mucuna pruriens Convolvulus pluricaulis Centella asiatica Celastrus paniculatus Bacopa monnieri Ocimum sanctum Griffonia simplicifolia A-glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline You can expect to feel a sense of wellbeing when you take Cognition. Plus, these ingredients support overall brain health. Scott says that Cognition makes him sleep very well. Use code “ketokamp” here: https://synapticscientific.com/   [33:05] The Best Way You Can Use Cognition In Your Daily Life Cognition contains 1 bottle, 120ml. One serving is 2ml (about four pumps), so each bottle has 60+ servings.  Leave it at room temperature. Cognition contains MCT oil. If you put it in the fridge, then it's not going to shake well. So, leave it a room temperature and give it a shake. Use a spoon because the pump isn't that accurate. 3 – 6 ml a day is about average. For some people, 1 ml can be too much. Americans have to start putting more bitters into their diets; it is the key to liver and gallbladder health.   [38:40] How Cognition Is Nourishing The Brain Instead of Tweaking It You want to take enough Cognition so that you actually feel the difference. Sometimes, it's better to split Cognition up into two or three servings in a day. If you take enough, you'll experience the following: Increase in mental focus Loss of brain fog A sense of motivation An ability to focus An uptick in mood and a sense of wellbeing A lessening of anxiety Fewer frustrations The ability to sleep much better   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Synaptic Scientific (use code: ketokamp): https://synapticscientific.com/?ref=ba Follow Scott Ohlgren LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottohlgren/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scottohlgren Read The 28-Day Cleansing Program: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0098AD1QS/benazadi-20 Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

People who are just more just metabolically healthier are going to have healthier stem cells. The sicker you are, the sicker your stem cells are.  Stem cells send out signals. As you age, your stem cells won't be able to send out as many signals.  Chronic inflammation will also exhaust stem cells. Three major factors contribute to chronic inflammation: Stress Lack of exercise Smoking   [03:45] What Is Happening To Our Skin As We Age Damage from the sun is going to cause spots on the skin. Some spots are also hormonal things like melasma, which you can get from hormonal changes.  The number one thing you could do for your skin is actually to protect it from the sun. Getting burnt is not good for your skin.  Regular sun exposure will cause DNA damage to the skin. Plus, it can contribute to faster aging.  Dr. Killen says to put sunscreen on your face.    [07:50] Getting A Healthy Balance of Autophagy and mTOR Through Fasting Even with a few hours of fasting, you can start to see increased stem cell production.  With longer fasts, you will have more effects systemically on stem cells.  With fasting, we see an increase in autophagy and cellular cleanup.  The best part of fasting is that it's free!   [12:15] Exercise For Anti-Aging: How Often and How Intense Should Your Workouts Be?  You need at least three or four days of heavy lifting.  Weights are really important for creating hormones like testosterone and growth hormones.  Heavy lifting exercises should be at least thirty minutes to an hour.  Plus, you should do thirty minutes of aerobic activity a day.   [13:20] Antiseptic Mouthwash Is Bad For You: Dr. Killen Explains The Problem Antiseptic mouthwash kills the bacteria in the mouth.  When there are no bacteria in your mouth, it prevents you from making nitric oxide from food.  Nitric oxide is essential for sexual health and erections. If you're using antiseptic mouthwash and you're taking an antacid, it can decrease your sexual function.    [19:00] The Role That High Glucose Levels Can Play on Your Sexual Function  Glucose will create inflammation. You want to have good blood flow to your sexual organs. If you have chronic inflammation, then you will have a lack of blood flow going to your genitalia.  Hormones like testosterone will also be affected by high sugar levels.    [23:35] Peptides: Enhancing The Body's Ability To Protect and Repair Itself Peptide is just a fancy name for a short protein. There are now hundreds of peptides out there. Most of them come from proteins that we already have in our bodies. All of us can use a little bit of extra repair and recovery; peptides are great for that.  Check out Rapid Rebound here: https://ketokamprebound.com/ Rapid Rebound is a unique formulation of BPC157, AOD, and Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) that works synergistically to enhance the body's ability to protect and repair itself so you can reach all of your performance goals.   [32:55] The Benefits of Red Light Therapy  Red light therapy will help with skin healing rejuvenation.  We can see an increase in stem cell activation with red light and near-infrared light as well. Plus, there's the mitochondrial energy production that people always talk about with red light therapy. Red light therapy can have a lot of effects on stem cell production.  Lastly, red lights feel great!    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Amy Killen's Website: https://dramykillen.com/ Get Rapid Rebound: https://ketokamprebound.com/ Email Dr. Amy Killen: amy@dramykillen.com Follow Dr. Amy Killen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.amybkillen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrAmyBKillen Twitter: https://twitter.com/dramybkillen Watch Dr. Amy Killen, Best Diet For Skin And Hair, Autophagy And Stem Cells: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=253007075850765 Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Michael Goran. He is a Professor of Pediatrics at The Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, which is affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California.  He is Program Director for Diabetes and Obesity at The Saban Research Institute and he holds the Dr Robert C and Veronica Atkins Endowed Chair in Childhood Obesity and Diabetes. Dr Goran is a native of Glasgow, Scotland, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Manchester, UK (1986) and has previously served on the faculty of Medicine at the University of Vermont (1991 to 1994), the Department of Nutrition Sciences at UAB (1994 to 1999), and the Department of Preventive Medicine at USC (1999 to 2018) prior to joining Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles. His research has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health and other Foundations for the past 30 years and he has published over 350 professional peer-reviewed articles and reviews. He is the Editor of the “Childhood Obesity: Causes, Consequences and Intervention Approaches” published in 2017, co-editor of “Dietary Sugars and Health”published in late 2014, and currently serves as Editor-in-Chief for Pediatric Obesity. He has been the recipient of a number of scientific awards for his research and teaching, including: The Nutrition Society Medal for Research (1996), The Lilly Award for Scientific Achievement from The Obesity Society (2006), The Bar-Or Award for Excellence in Pediatric Obesity Research, from The Obesity Society (2009), the TOPS award for contributions to obesity research from The Obesity Society (2014), and the Rank Prize Lecture in Nutrition (2018). Michael lives in Silverlake, Los Angeles with his wife Lori, a film editor, his 2 teenage daughters, and their cat, Hugo Moon. Outside of work, Michael likes to play tennis, and hang out with his family which typically involves cooking, eating, going on walks and travel. In this episode, Michael talks about why he decided to focus on sugar addiction towards children. For the last thirty years, this has been Michael's sole focus; he speaks about what he has learned about kids and sugar throughout his many years as an expert in the field. We talk about the importance of breastfeeding and how breastfeeding for twelve months can have massive benefits to your children. Tune in as we speak about nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, why kids need to ditch added sugars, and what's really in Coca-Cola products.

Michael wanted to learn about chronic diseases and how they started in childhood.  At the end of the day, he found a lot of very interesting information about sugar and how to modify it. Michael wanted to get that information out there to the public. If someone is diabetic, that didn't happen over the past year. Instead, they have been eating a poor diet for the last ten to fifteen years.  Get Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar That Are Putting Your Child's Health at Risk and What You Can Do: https://www.amazon.com/Sugarproof-Hidden-Dangers-Putting-Childs/dp/0525541195/benazadi-20   [04:40] Options For Babies As They Get Off of Breast Milk  The food companies are doing a great job at basically hijacking the innate preferences that babies have.  Babies are actually born with a built-in preference for sweetness. It's supposed to help them seek out good-tasting foods.  Food companies know that babies and kids prefer sweetness. So that's why 80% of kids' foods have some type of added sugars.  Breast milk does have carbohydrates. Lactose is built from glucose and galactose. However, there's no fructose in natural mother's milk.  It's the introduction of fructose that starts to cause problems as well as added sugar.    [07:50] When Moms Should Start To Wean The Baby Off of Breast Milk  The recommendation is six months. However, there are studies that demonstrate the longer the duration of breastfeeding, the more likely you are to prevent obesity.  Plus, the longer you breastfeed, you will promote brain development. If a mom breastfeeds for more than twelve months, those babies are highly protected from obesity, even if they consume high amounts of sugary beverages as a toddler.   [10:55] A Calorie Isn't Always A Calorie: 90% of Fructose Is Cleared By The Liver Sucrose, which is ordinary table sugar, is what we call a disaccharide. It's a glucose molecule connected to a fructose molecule; both are identical chemically. Glucose is used everywhere in the body for energy. The liver filters out almost 90% of fructose. The liver's job is to filter things out that it doesn't want in the blood. The liver will take fructose and convert it to fat. The most common form of liver disease is nonalcoholic, and that nonalcoholic contributor is fructose.   [18:10] Recommendations For Adults and Children Who Have Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Sugar elimination can rapidly deplete the liver of its fat quite quickly. It only takes seven to eight days.  That's why Michael has a seven-day no added sugar challenge. Learn more about the challenge by getting Michael's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Sugarproof-Hidden-Dangers-Putting-Childs/dp/0525541195/benazadi-20 You should do the challenge right after the holidays. It's a great way to get fat out of the liver. Kids need to reset their bodies and taste preferences.  Weight loss is also important for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.  We get so amped up on sugar, we begin to crave it more and more. Cut it out!   [21:00] There Are Over 200 Names For Caloric Sugars  The current count is about 260 or 270.  Food companies are developing healthy-sounding names for sugar. Here are some examples: Organic brown rice syrup  Evaporated cane juice Agave nectar  Fruit juice concentrates  Some of the fruit sugars can have even more fructose and high fructose corn syrup. Gatorade is a fake healthy drink.    [23:40] What's Happening To Children When They Consume Less Sugar Kids are more intelligent if they eat less sugar. With less sugar, kids can expect to have these benefits: Perform better on academic tests Better memory Better sleep More focus   [32:15] How Much Fructose Is Really In Coca-Cola? Michael Did The Research  Michael wanted to know what was in Coca-Cola.  Products say high fructose corn syrup; we don't actually know what that is. The food industry says it's marginally more fructose than glucose in their products.   Michael went to the supermarket and got all kinds of drinks. He sent them off to the lab. About 65% of the sugars are fructose.  Michael presented this information six years ago. The food industry told him that his research was invalid. However, they couldn't prove how.  Remember, more fructose causes a lot of problems in the body.    [35:25] True or False: It's Impossible To Be Addicted To Sugar  Here are some of the criteria for addiction: Withdrawal  Side effects Difficult to give up If you look at the criteria for addiction, they stand true for sugar.  It makes no sense that qualified professional dietitians would say that sugar is not addictive.  About 40% of the Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition funding comes from big food companies.   [45:15] What's Next For Michael In 2022 Michael is wondering why certain populations have the highest rates of obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver. He wants to come up with Latino-specific strategies, protocols, and interventions. Plus, Michael is going to continue to develop more recipes for his fans.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Sugarproof Kids: https://sugarproofkids.com/ Get Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar That Are Putting Your Child's Health at Risk and What You Can Do: https://www.amazon.com/Sugarproof-Hidden-Dangers-Putting-Childs/dp/0525541195/benazadi-20 Email: Hello@SugarproofKids.com Follow Michael Goran Twitter: https://twitter.com/michaelgoran LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-goran-b5577b11/ Follow Sugarproof Kids: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sugarproofkids/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Sugarproofkids Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Studies Referenced on the show: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2784545   https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-021-00897-0.epdf?sharing_token=Cpf2qYLFHs3x6mq_r-mVV9RgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0NJCGivURWPm-BVpJcxYiGt7OeZD6y_01Xkq8NAecHM4OZqBvVIuZ-pOHKJHLr1N5WwHnKWxr9WXepZ4DJwuXEYd8DHukHP0ev-lSu2ews755EsdjzpeDZrXr3VIsEhQ40%3D Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

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

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

So, he was ready to start looking for solutions.  There's a lot of wrong ways to be healthy. Lean Cuisines is the best example of this.  At one point, Erik went vegan.    “The law of veganism is you must tell everyone in your surrounding area that you're a vegan and you're better than them.” -Erik Levi As a vegan, Erik's energy was low, and his body was weak.    Eventually, Erik became a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.   [07:50] The Inspiration Behind Erik's Website, Holistic Nootropics  People are trying to be healthy, and they're very susceptible to the industry's marketing. Sadly, people are taking so many supplements that just aren't working.  Instead, Erik would recommend Biotics Research: https://www.bioticsresearch.com/ There's so much money in the supplement industry. 99% of people are not receiving the benefits of their supplements.  Erik created Holistic Nootropics to help people improve their mental and physical health.    [16:55] Why Fish Oil Is Not As Beneficial As You May Think  Fish oil is usually a rancid and toxic product. 83% of fish oil is rancid before you even purchase it.  You are better off just eating fish.  Fish oil is an unstable fat.  The last thing you want to do is buy 300 pills of fish oil from Costco. It's the bottom of the barrel and worst quality – it's doing more harm than good.    [23:50] The Problem With Synthetic Multivitamins  Most multivitamins are being made incorrectly. The body doesn't know what to do with synthetic vitamins. People who are taking these multivitamins are doing it because the rest of their diet is a disaster. If you want to dial in your health, then you need to focus on diet and lifestyle.    [28:20] Rotating Your Supplements Will Benefit Your Overall Wellness   Erik will do four days of taking supplements and three days of not taking supplements.  Plus, he will take different mushroom powders each day. Don't take supplements to get rid of them; throw them away if you don't need them.  Remember, you want to take aminos on an empty stomach. Erik will take magnesium every single day.    [33:00] All About BDNF And How We Can Use Lifestyle To Enhance Our BDNF Production BDNF is a brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It's a lifestyle phenomenon.  Exercise is the best way to get BDNF.  Daily movement and resistance training will be total game-changers. Relationships and learning new languages will be useful for BDNF production.  Overall, BDNF is a principle of life. Keep growing, learning, and challenging yourself.    [36:00] Erik's Favorite Ways And Methods To Lower Postprandial Glucose  The best thing for lowering postprandial glucose is dihydroberberine. Chromium will also work.  Plus, cinnamon and banaba leaf have been shown to have effects.  However, Erik says that you should always stack your day for success in the morning. Eat a high-protein and high-fat breakfast to keep you from having sugar highs and lows.    [40:30] Optimizing The Gallbladder and The Liver For Producing Healthier Bile Digestion is tied to sleep and the circadian rhythm. Erik highly recommends that you get a sleep tracker.  Find the Oura Ring here: https://ouraring.com/ Eat earlier in the day to improve your digestive process.  More high-quality fat will help your gallbladder like butter, egg yolks, and red meat.  Try and eat as naturally as you can to improve the liver.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Holistic Nootropics: https://holisticnootropics.com/ Listen to Erik's Podcast: https://holisticnootropics.com/podcast/ Follow Erik Levi LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-levi-62ba5617b/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDrK6maJ8nywMcW8grIsJxQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holisticahole Holistic Nootropics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistic_nootropics/ Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

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

However, it's not! When you learn this principle, it will change the way you think forever about stress. Ultimately, hormesis is about how we apply stressors and actually change the functionality of our bodies. There's something called the hormetic zone when you nail it, and you can drive healing in the body. All these positive things come out of hormesis; it will change the way you think about everything.  Hormesis refers to adaptive responses of biological systems to moderate environmental or self-imposed challenges through which the system improves its functionality and tolerance to more severe challenges.    [06:55] How Hormetics Increase Homeodynamics Through Exercise Aging, senescence, and death are the final manifestations of the failure of homeodynamics.  When you don't adapt, then you bring on death much faster in the form of senescence cells.  Molecular, cellular, and physiological pathways of repair.  If we nail this principle, then we live longer and healthier.  Exercise is the best way to increase homeodynamics.  We need stress to become better.    [11:25] How Do I Know My Hormetic Zone When It Comes To Exercise?  If you haven't exercised in a while, then you'll be sore the next day. That means you went over the hormetic zone.  You can either exercise too little, or you can stress your body too much.  People want to exercise when they're sick; however, your body's ability to adapt to stress is very low during sickness.  If you feel tired the next day, then you are doing too much exercise.  You need to get your body to adapt to higher levels of stress.    [16:40] Examples of Physical Hormetins That Will Create Stress  These are examples of hormetins that will create stress: Heat has been shown to mimic the effects of exercise on the body.  Cold activates protective brown fat in the body and can lead to weight loss.  Exercising in the cold is especially beneficial.  Low-dose radiation enhances the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells.  It will also regulate the negative effects of the immune response by inhibiting the transformation of immature DCs to mDCs.  Thermal shock Strength and stamina exercises Low-Dose Radiation  Gravity Covid Repetitive stress  Temperature change forces adaptation by altering the microbiome, causing a hormonal shift.    [26:20] Fasting Is A Stress That Applies To Hormesis  Fasting is one of the most significant stressors that we can apply to hormesis.  When you understand the principle of hormesis, you definitely will look at fasting differently.  A lot of people are fasting too much. If you fast too much, you can decrease immunity and lose muscle.  Fasting shouldn't be the same for everyone – you don't want to over-stress yourself with fasting.    [39:10] Types of Block Fasts and Where Should I Start?  There are benefits to longer fasts.  Water-only fasts have been happening for thousands of years. It's one of the purest forms of fasting. It forces higher levels of autophagy.  You shouldn't do a water fast unless you are fat-adapted or you're experienced with fasting. You should start keto before you start fasting.  Read Beyond Fasting: A Cellular Solution to Break Through Weight Loss Resistance, Slow Aging, and Get Well: https://revelationhealth.com/products/beyond-fasting-by-dr-daniel-pompa/azadi?afmc=azadi [56:10] Fasting For Fertility – Is Intermittent Fasting Safe?   Fasting is the greatest hormetic stress known to man.  We've seen miracles hormonally happen with fasting. However, fasting has to be applied correctly for it to work.  If you're a woman who is looking to be more fertile than the five days right before your cycle would be critical. Feast/famine monthly will change the body hormonally.  Feasting is creating new healthy cells.    [58:30] Make Sure You Vary Your Diet Based On The Season  Diet variation can be done seasonally or monthly. Plus, you should go in and out of ketosis. Some people do four diet changes a year based on the season.  Dr. Pompa will change his diet based on boredom and travel.   You can throw in a carnivore diet to mix up your microbiome.     AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Pompa's Website: https://drpompa.com  Follow Dr. Pompa Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/drdanielpompa/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PompaHealthSolutions Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrDanPompa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drpompa LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdanielpompa/ Read Beyond Fasting: A Cellular Solution to Break Through Weight Loss Resistance, Slow Aging, and Get Well: https://revelationhealth.com/products/beyond-fasting-by-dr-daniel-pompa/azadi?afmc=azadi Listen to Dr Daniel Pompa, How Intermittent Fasting Works For Weight Loss & Autophagy :KKP 115: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dr-daniel-pompa-how-intermittent-fasting-works-for/id1470779784?i=1000467871399 Listen to Dr Daniel Pompa | Autophagy vs mTor Balance, Diet Variation & Ancient Healing Strategies KKP: 304: https://www.audible.com/pd/Dr-Daniel-Pompa-Autophagy-vs-mTor-Balance-Diet-Variation-Ancient-Healing-Strategies-KKP-304-Podcast/B09F71M9CY Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Tara Youngblood. She is a fusion scientist and a visionary leader in the future of sleep driven health combining multiple disciplines, including Alternative Medicine, Physics, and Sleep Diagnostics. She works with leading international researchers to further studies on cold therapy and its impact on sleep, and she wrote and published the leading white paper connecting more than 70 research papers to the effects of temperature on sleep quality and as an expert in sleep science, she is a highly regarded and sought-after international speaker. Tara's research has led to more than a dozen patent filings, and she is the co-founder, along with her husband Todd, of Kryo, Inc., inventers of the ChiliPad™. At Kryo she contributes to the strategic direction and daily operations of the company and she also serves as the Chief Science Officer. Tara is also a wife and mother, a passionate global traveler, and has spearheaded multiple community philanthropic activities and international relief trips. Tara is continually seeking new opportunities to improve the quality of life by those most affected with sleep disorders. She and her family sleep soundly at their home in Charlotte, NC. In this episode, Tara talks about the inspiration behind her studies with sleep. Did you know that getting less than six hours of sleep over two weeks is the same as being legally drunk? Tara talks about why this happens, and she gives advice for people who have insomnia. Plus, Tara debunks the myth that you need eight hours of sleep every night. Tara dives deep into her ChiliPad products and how they can help you get better sleep. Tune in as we chat about cold cycling, weighted blankets for anxiety, and tracking your sleep.

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

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a second time T.J. Robinson, aka "The Olive Oil Hunter." He is one of the world's most respected authorities on all matters of olive oil. Known for his "platinum palate," he is one of the few Americans invited to serve as a judge in prestigious Italian olive oil tasting competitions. These days he is dedicated to importing rare fresh-pressed olive oil, the most flavorful and healthiest extra virgin olive oil on the planet, until now virtually impossible to obtain year-round in the U.S. All his oils are independently lab tested and certified for 100% purity. T.J. serves as a personal "olive oil sommelier," traveling the world, following the sun, seeking out only the best-tasting oils and acquiring them for his Club members right during the olive harvest, as the olive presses are running, when the oils are miraculously flavorful —like no other olive oil you can find in the U.S. In this episode, T.J. talks about the rampant fraud in the olive oil industry. Unfortunately, many companies are cutting their "extra-virgin olive oil" with dangerous and inflammatory seed oils. It can be hard to spot which olive oils are legit and which ones lie to the consumer. T.J. Robinson explains how to spot a fraudulent oil and what to look for when you're at the grocery store. Lucky for us, T.J. is letting Keto Kamp listeners try his $39 olive oil for just $1. You can get that deal here: http://www.getfresh37.com/.  Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

People use substandard olive oil and add a little bit of decent quality olive oil to it enough to pass a lab test.  Fraud in the olive oil industry has been happening for a really long time.  During a study, 70% of olive oils came back as not meeting the quality standards of extra-virgin.  Most Americans don't know what great olive oil tastes like.   [07:40] Olive Oils Are Being Cut With Inflammatory Oils Like Canola Oil  You have to be very careful when you buy an olive oil blend. Make sure to read labels in the grocery store very carefully.  Olive oil can be in a fancy bottle, with a fancy label and a high price tag. However, look at the back, and you might see that it's actually a blend.  It could be a blend of soybean oil or sunflower oil, but it's being sold as extra virgin olive oil.  More often than not, it's a lower grade of oil that's being sold as an extra virgin oil.   [10:10] Tips For Buying Olive Oil In A Grocery Store Always look for olive oil in dark glass; the dark glass helps protect the oil.  Glass bottles are preferable.  You also want to look for a harvest date on the olive oil bottle. Most bottles won't have a harvest date on them.  Look for oils that have a third-party certification.    [15:50] How A Professional Taster Would Examine Olive Oil Quality  A professional taster would taste out of small blue glass cups. Blue disguises the color of the olive oil. Color is not an indicator of quality. Many fraudulent olive oils will be cut with seed oils, but also add chlorophyll to adjust the color.  Read Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JNYNHHW/benazadi-20   [34:40] You Can Get A $39 Bottle of Olive Oil For Only $1 The goal of T.J.'s club is to educate American consumers.  He wants to help small farmers around the world as well.  Taste T.J.'s bottle of olive oil for only $1.  There's a myth that you cannot cook with olive oil; that's completely false.

Every quarter, T.J. will buy extra cases, and he shares those cases with potential club members.  A good percentage of people who get the olive oil will convert to being members.  T.J. says you can get three bottles of oil at a price of $139. Most people use about a bottle a month.  1 tablespoon per meal will completely change your health.  T.J. has over 20,000 club members that love his olive oil and believe in it.    [52:30] How To Use Olive Oil When You Are Intermittent Fasting   If you want to fast for longer, then take a shot of olive oil.  Olive oil doesn't break your fast, and it actually could support the fast because of the antioxidants and polyphenols. One of the ways to actually create new brain cells is through olive oil. If you want to be more resilient and creative, olive oil can be your biohack.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out T.J.'s deal for Keto Kamp listeners: http://www.getfresh37.com/ Follow T.J.

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

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

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

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