Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Rebecca Warren. She is a Functional Wellness Practitioner and Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in women's sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and healing after thyroidectomy. At 19, Dr. Rebecca was diagnosed with Follicular Variant Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and had a complete thyroidectomy with high dose radiation- all of which was completely unnecessary. But she didn't know what else to do. After having her thyroid removed, she suffered from hormone issues that Doctors would write off because all her labs looked “normal.” She suffered from depression, anxiety, weight loss resistance, and period issues with no help on how to get better. It wasn't until she decided to draw a line in the sand that no doctor would know more about her body than she did; her health transformed. She has spent the past decade and a half studying the literature, implementing protocols, using the most up-to-date functional labs and testing, and ancestral tools (like fasting and diet variation) to not only take back her health but to help thousands of men and women to do the same. Her goal is to help people avoid her unnecessary suffering and help those that may be on a hopeless path right now. Dr. Rebecca practices with her husband in Chattanooga, TN, and does virtual coaching worldwide. Their approach is simple but powerful: get to the cause, support the body, and trust and know that the body was created to heal itself. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca opens the show by discussing the inspiration behind her podcast, The Thyroidless Life. Then, Dr. Rebecca dives deep into everything you need to know about thyroid health. Dr. Rebecca explains why one autoimmune disease will most likely lead to another one down the road. Plus, Dr. Rebecca speculates why COVID and the COVID vaccinations could worsen your thyroid problems.

Whether you have a thyroid or not, thyroid healing and hormone balancing is a lifetime practice. The Thyroidless Life Podcast is a podcast about detoxing and fasting for hormone health. Rebecca wishes she had this information 17 years ago. Listen to the podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-thyroidless-life/id1623271333 [03:10] Why One Autoimmune Disease Will Lead to Another An autoimmune issue is systemic, and it comes from an immune imbalance. Rebecca specializes in the thyroid; over 90% of thyroid disorders, whether you're hyper or hypo is an autoimmune disorders. When you have an autoimmune disorder, you get a name for it, like Hashimotos. You don't just have a thyroid issue; you have a whole body issue. When you have one autoimmune disorder in your body, you're three times as likely to develop another. [06:50] Are the COVID Vaccines Leading To Thyroid Issues?  You must ensure you've got the nutrition down; that's foundational. When your adrenals are good, then you have to start detoxing. Rebecca implores everyone to look at what's happened with their health in the last two and a half years. Having the COVID virus can create a thyroid storm and a thyroid issue. Two or three COVID vaccinations are also leading to thyroid issues. [16:00] The Thyroid Tests to Ask Your Doctor For As Soon As Possible You need a full wellness panel. First, look at your C-reactive protein. Also, make sure you know your fasting insulin and homocysteine. Homocysteine levels that are trending high mean there will be a methylation issue. When looking at thyroid, you need to do the full panel. Above all, make sure you know your Reverse T3. TSI, TPO, and thyroid globulin antibodies are also essential. Get these numbers done every single year; if they start to rise, you need to do something about it. [20:40] T4 & T3 Replacement Hormones to Repair Your Thyroid Problems If your doctor doesn't want to order panels, then find someone who will. When your panels come back and things don't look right, you may need to use grass-fed glandular. Grass-fed glandulars can help strengthen your thyroid and give you the needed hormones. Utilizing clean meds can help you get your head above water. Rebecca recommends WP Thyroid: https://wpthyroid.com/ You may also need Nature-Throid: https://www.naturethroid.com/ [27:30] Symptom Relief: Ketosis Will Give Your Thyroid a Break!  One of the great ways that ketosis can help is by creating ketone bodies for energy. Fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, and weight loss resistance are related to your thyroid hormones. When you get into ketosis, many of these symptoms will go away. Ketosis will give your thyroid a break! [36:40] Hashimotos Can Cause Thyroid Tissue Destruction, but You Can Get It Under Control You can have thyroid antibodies, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have thyroid tissue destruction. You want to decrease your markers as much as you can. The problem that happens with Hashimotos is thyroid tissue destruction. When there is an attack, you're going to have more symptoms. You need to get the trigger under control. Then, do things that increase healthy cell growth. [46:20] What's the Relationship Between Liver and Thyroid Health? What's happening in the liver? Not only will it affect how many active hormones are available, but it will also determine how much Reverse T3 you're making. A healthy liver that's clearing out that's able to convert will be vitally important. The liver is going to help you detox. Your body knows what to do; however, we can't ignore how toxic our world is these days. AND MUCH MORE! Resources from this episode: Check out Check out Drs.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe and Rachel. They are happily married with three wonderful boys: John Paul, Anthony, and Caleb. After years of trying every type of weight loss plan you can think of, from severe calorie restriction to CrossFit, they decided to try the ketogenic lifestyle. Thankful for the opportunity to look forward to a happy and healthy future with their three adult sons, Joe and Rachel are excited to share their keto journey and hopefully encourage other families to change their diet and change their lives. After discovering the keto diet in 2017 and experiencing life-changing health results, Joe and Rachel made it their mission to share their testimony with as many people as possible. Their great hope is to encourage others who have experienced lifelong weight struggles and medical concerns. It is a game changer for their family to learn first-hand that diagnoses like morbid obesity, diabetes, arthritis, digestive issues, and chronic pain don't have to be a life sentence. Joe and Rachel want you and your family to experience improved health.  In this episode, Rachel and Joe open the show by speaking about their past health problems, including a lifetime of obesity, chronic pain, arthritis, acne, plantar fasciitis, and migraines. After trying a ketogenic lifestyle, Rachel and Joe stopped their symptoms and completely changed their health and mental wellbeing. You'll hear Rachel and Joe give tips on getting your significant other to try a ketogenic lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about the importance of self-love and the inspiration behind Joe and Rachel's YouTube channel, 2 Krazy Ketos. Check out their videos here: https://www.youtube.com/c/2krazyketos.  Register for my upcoming 90 day detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

One day, Joe decided to look into keto.  After trying keto, Joe immediately dropped twenty pounds in the first month.  Joe lost eighty pounds after six months of keto.  Plus, Joe no longer needed to take painkillers and arthritis pills on the keto diet.  [06:20] Dieting for Decades: The Keto Lifestyle Is a Game-Changer for Rachel  Rachel had been obese her entire life, and she had been dieting for decades. It was challenging for Rachel to make friends; she was teased a lot at school.  Rachel thought the only way to maintain success was calorie restriction.  Eventually, Rachel reduced her calories to 500 a day. Once Rachel tried keto, her plantar fasciitis, migraines, and acne were all gone. Plus, she finally had sustainable weight loss.  [12:55] Struggling With Emotional Battles and Working On Self-Love  Joe still looks in the mirror and sees the 300-pound Joe. One thing Joe tells himself is that the scale is the devil and the mirror is a liar.  Even after losing weight, Joe has an emotional battle when he looks in the mirror.  After decades of being so hard on ourselves, we have to do strength training in positivity. We falsely believe that we can love others and just skip that step of loving ourselves. In reality, we need to put energy into loving ourselves.  [18:00] How to Get Your Significant Other on Board With a Ketogenic Lifestyle   People don't get on board with keto because they think it's another fad diet.  Don't try and push your significant other. Instead, lead by example. Make sure to come from a place of love.  Joe was passionate about keto, so he cooked all the meals. That way, Rachel would jump on board. People must come on board when they are ready for keto. Otherwise, the lifestyle will never work.  [33:05] Looking for Support? Find Community With 2 Krazy Ketos  Joe and Rachel wanted to devise a way to talk to one another without bringing up the children.  So, Joe wanted to start a YouTube channel.  They make YouTube videos about what they eat and how they lost weight with keto. Eventually, Joe and Rachel started a community space, and they love facilitating community wherever they go.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for the THIRD time Dr. Will Cole. He is a leading functional-medicine expert, consults people around the world via webcam and locally in Pittsburgh. This is a REPEAT EPISODE from May 2021. He specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing health programs for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal dysfunctions, digestive disorders, and brain problems. Dr. Cole was named one of the top 50 functional-medicine and integrative doctors in the nation and is a health expert and course instructor for the world's largest wellness brands such as mindbodygreen and goop. In this episode, Dr. Cole opens the show explaining the meaning behind intuitive fasting. If you're not metabolically flexible, fasting will be anything but intuitive. However, when you are finally metabolically flexible, you will intuitively fast and eat. Dr. Cole explains why he's such a massive fan of fasting for overall health and the ways fasting will help heal your gut. Later, Dr. Cole answers common questions regarding fasting, like if it will help you lose weight and why you can't fast when you're eating a poor diet. Tune in as we chat about our favorite supplements for fasting and how tea can be beneficial on your health journey.

But the truth is, our daily eating schedule—three meals a day, plus snacks—does not necessarily reflect our bodies' natural cycles. Cole's book is all about intuitive fasting. However, fasting will be anything but intuitive when you're metabolically inflexible. Instead, the book is a conversation about showing up for yourself to become metabolically flexible. When you are finally metabolically flexible, you will intuitively fast and eat. You can mindfully use intermittent fasting to gain metabolic flexibility so you can hear what your body truly loves.   [05:25] Why Dr. Cole Is A Huge Fan Of Fasting For His Health Fasting is an amazing tool, and it's completely free. Plus, fasting is something that it's actually encoded in our DNA. Researchers estimate that our genetics haven't changed in 10,000 years. Your body is made to do so much. It's time to wake up the body's ability to heal itself and wake up the body's ability to calm inflammation. Sadly, we are living so out of alignment with our biochemistry that we put a lot of our body's healing capacity just to sleep. Fasting is a matter of letting our bodies remember what we were born with. Overall, fasting is an amazing tool that clinically really improves people's labs. [09:25] How Fasting Can Actually Heal Your Gut + Reset Your Digestive System Your microbiome is actually repairing through the night and recalibrating through the night. When you fast, it is calming down the inflammatory cascades that are going on. Also, fasting doesn't mean that you are cutting calories. Instead, you're eating the same number of foods, you're just eating in specific windows to give your body a little bit more of a fasting time than you normally would. The more often you can fast, you're going to be able to regenerate and repair the gut in a big way. Digesting food requires a lot of energy; so, you're giving your gut a break to not work on digesting food. [13:45] What Food Freedom Means To Dr. Cole Food peace is going longer without eating, not because it's restrictive - but because you can do it, and you feel great doing it. Also, food peace means you can break the fast when you want to. Intuitive fasting can be scary; it can be triggering for people that are addicted to food. Just because something's common doesn't necessarily mean it's normal – most people in the United States have a massive blood sugar problem. The traditional way that American's live their lives are, in many ways, self-harm; it's not self-respect at all. Food freedom is integrating things in your life that make you feel great. [17:55] The Combination Of Keto And Fasting Is A Total Game-Changer You can't fast your way out of a poor diet. Dr. Cole doesn't advocate for people to have these extreme approaches to fasting, where it's like an eating disorder disguised as a wellness practice. Fasting should be a tool that can actually heal your relationship with food, heal your relationship with your body, and actually heal your body. If you look at a lot of the research on intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet, you're going to see similar pathways explored because they're both supporting beta-Hydroxybutyrate. Keto is nutrient-dense and calorically rich foods that are very satiating and nourishing; it's going to make your intermittent fasting window easier. [24:00] Can You Teach Me How To Use Fasting To Lose Weight? Many people hear that fasting is connected with weight loss. However, it's essential to realize that fasting is the body repairing things. If you want to fast to lose weight, you need to shift your mindset. Instead, you have to get healthy to lose weight, not the other way around. Fasting has a lot more benefits than weight loss – you should be more excited about those aspects of fasting. [28:05] Dr. Cole Reveals His Favorite Supplements For Fasting Cole is a fan of having coffee and tea while he fasts. Earl Grey tea has been shown to support our autophagy pathways. The main supplement you'll want when fasting is electrolytes. Again, you can't fast your way out of a poor diet. If you're eating clean foods, you may not need those electrolytes. However, optimizing your electrolytes is something to consider. One of Dr. Cole's favorites is LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/pages/robb-wolf [35:20] News Flash! You're Not A Failure If You Cut Your Fast Early When fasting, you need to have flexibility and intuition. If you cut your fast early, it's not a failure. Instead, it's a gift that you listened to your body. Changing your fasting plan is part of metabolic flexibility. We think there has to be this rigid plan for fasting to be successful; however, that's not how life works! [38:05] Stop Comparing Yourself To Other People On Your Health Journey We're all on our own journey with health – stop comparing your journey to another person. We're all created differently, and we're all up against something differently. Obviously, we're learning from other people. However, your path will be different. Communities should be there for insight rather than comparisons. You're on your own journey, you're going to do great, but in your own way. [43:55] The Truth About Autophagy: Are You Getting Too Much While Fasting? Constantly check in with yourself and see how you feel: Are you burnt out? Are you fatigued? Do you feel like you're starving? As long as you eat enough foods during your eating window, then you should be okay. However, if your body is saying otherwise, then eat!

He is also a frequent speaker on topics including meditation and the Dry Farm Wines unique company culture. Built on a foundation of honesty and peace, Dry Farm Wines has seen remarkable growth, making it one of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S., without any debt or investors.

Several factors that impact your relationship with alcohol - sugar and stress are significant.  After stumbling upon an organic natural wine, Todd did some lab testing on wines. Eventually, Todd started Dry Farm Wines.

Conventional wines are generally 14 to 15% alcohol. Because there is less alcohol in natural wine, it dramatically affects how you feel, your brain health, and your inflammation.  Wine used to be a healthy drink; now, wine is unhealthy.  Multi-billion dollar marketing conglomerates are making wine production cheaper and faster. So, the wines in your typical store are unhealthy and cheaply made.  [26:50] Did You Know That Wine Is the Only Major Food Group Without a Contents Label? Wine is the only major food group without a contents label. There is no content label or nutritional information on the wine.  Sugar is the most widely addictive and abused drug on the planet, leading to chronic illness. The wine industry has spent millions of dollars in lobby money over the years to keep content labeling off of wine because they don't want you to know what's in it. [29:40] Health Leaders Recommend Drinking Tequila; However, It May Not Be the Best Choice Many health leaders recommend tequila as the alcohol of choice if you're going to drink. Tequila is a distilled spirit that is pure and clean. Plus, it comes from a plant. The problem with tequila is that it is 45% alcohol. Alcohol is not your friend; it has limited benefits in the right dosage in the right way.  The more alcohol you drink, the more likely you will consume even more.   [34:00] Natural Wine Is Always Organic or Biodynamically Grown The most significant hallmark of natural wine is it is always organic or biodynamically grown. Not all organic wines are natural; however, natural wines are always organic.  Drinking organic wine is better than drinking non-organic wine.  Biodynamic farming was developed in 1925 as an advanced form of organic farming.  This type of farming will include harvesting based on the lunar cycle, and they create natural organic potions for the vines.  [38:35] Natural Wine Is Always Fermented With Wild Indigenous Native Yeast The next hallmark of natural wine is that they are always fermented with wild indigenous native yeast.  Commercial wines are always fermented with GMO lab-cultured yeast.  You can't make commercial wines using wild native yeast because the yeast is too unstable, and it won't work in large volumes. That's why natural wine growers don't have brand names; they can't create enough wine using wild yeast.  [46:15] We Love That Dry Farm Wines Are Sugar-Free and Keto Friendly All Dry Farm Wines are sugar-free.  If you are following the ketogenic lifestyle, Dry Farm Wines suits you!  Plus, Dry Farm Wines test for sulfites. The only way to claim that wine is sugar-free is to test it.  Last year, Todd tested the top 20 best-selling wines in America. Only two of them met the criteria for sugar-free.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Vera Tarman. Dr. Vera Tarman started addictions Unplugged in 2008 because she found a need for information on addiction and, more specifically, food addiction. This is episode was previously aired on April 24th 2021. Today, the Addictions Unplugged website serves as a portal and discussion forum for medical professionals, front-line addiction workers, and those affected by addiction to reach out to Dr. Tarman and find out the latest information on treatment. Dr. Tarman has been reaching out to the medical and addiction communities through her workshops and speaking engagements. She speaks on the topics of the science behind food addiction and why we use food for comfort. She has educated thousands of people across the world and hopes to help all those struggling with food addiction. In this episode, Dr. Vera Tarman reveals how she found the connection between indulging cravings for "comfort food" and engaging in substance abuse. Yes, food can become addictive, and Dr. Vera explains how. Plus, we talk about how to know if you're addicted to food and what steps you can take to face that food addiction. Plus, we go deep into what's happening in our brains when we eat sugar and why scientists make food so addictive.

She sees people coming into a residential setting, they're putting down their alcohol, cocaine, cigarettes, and marijuana. However, they start picking up the sugar. Within two or three weeks, they started to gain a lot of weight. Eating was very much like their previous behavior of addiction. Now, Dr. Vera loves to talk about the addiction that people have with food. Plus, she even wrote a book on the subject – Food Junkies. It's a fact-filled guide to coping with compulsive overeating problems. Overeating, binge eating, obesity, anorexia, and bulimia – Dr. Vera tackles the poorly understood issue of food addiction in her book. Get Food Junkies: https://www.amazon.ca/Food-Junkies-Recovery-Addiction/dp/1459741978/benazadi-20  [06:05] How Can Food Become Addictive? The inspiration for Food Junkies came from another book, Hooked. Hooked is about the troubling story of how food companies have exploited our most fundamental evolutionary instincts to get us hooked on processed foods. Get Hooked: https://www.amazon.ca/Hooked-Food-Giants-Exploit-Addictions/dp/0771059590/benazadi-20 The food industry has made our food addictive by targeting the chemistry in our brains. Sadly, the food industry has figured out that the reward pathway will keep people coming back for their food. Brilliant scientists are paid good money to figure out how to activate those pathways. [08:50] The Negative Impacts On Your Brain When Consuming Sugars Sugars will light up part of the brain that's emotional and impulsive. It's the part of our brain that makes us do things without thought - this is all subconscious thinking. Plus, sugar will trigger dopamine primarily, which is our neurochemical of desire. There's also endorphins and serotonin. Endorphins trigger comfort while serotonin triggers connectedness. Addiction will make you want an entire bag of chips. You can't stop at one or two because your neural biology is so damaged. The physical manifestations of sugar and high-carb addiction are happening in the brain. [17:00] What You Need To Know About The Different Stages of Food Addiction When we talk about food addiction, it's essentially like diabetes. Food addiction is a chronic and progressive condition. You may have a food addiction if you would rather stay at home and eat instead of going out for a social occasion. If you consistently do not feel well because of the food you eat, you may be suffering from food addiction. Another sign of food addiction is eating foods that you know are not going to make you feel good. If your obsession with food is excessive, then you are a food addict. Lastly, if you are in trouble with your health, then you may be a food addict. “You have to be very careful if you're moving down this path of food addiction.” -Dr. Vera [25:25] Fasting For People With Addictions To Food Cutting out sugar will be the first step for people who have an addiction to food. Sugar is the trigger – so, ditch the trigger! If you have a food addiction, be aware of pitfalls. If you have a history of starving yourself, then fasting may not be the right path. Fasting can be healing; however, it's a tool that can hurt you if you do not know how to use it. If it's done carefully, fasting can be great for the body. [30:40] Why Dr. Vera Is A Massive Fan Of Eating More Protein Vera isn't necessary a fan of protein. Instead, Dr. Vera is a fan of low-carb. Protein and fat will give the body satiety. Most likely, if you are low-carb, then you are eating higher protein. Vera says she doesn't have a problem with carbs as long as they are not processed. [32:15] It Takes Three To Four Weeks To Kick Your Sugar Addiction It takes about three of four weeks to quit an addiction fully. A connection with a daily coach or sponsor will be critical on your journey. So, find support from someone while kicking your addiction. Keto Kamp is a great community of people who are ready to help you! [40:00] Treatment: Ways To Help When You're A Food Addict First of all, you have to eat the right food - you have to stop the drug! The first month is going to be difficult. As time goes on, it will get easier and easier. By week four, you will feel free! Lastly, you need to protect yourself from future triggers.

In this episode, Larry and Kay Lynne Diamond join the show to talk about the success that they have had with embracing lifestyle changes. Combined, Larry and Kay Lynne have lost 190 pounds through eating real foods, ditching seed oils, and fasting. Their relationship has improved, and they have experienced other health benefits. Larry dives deep into why feasting is just as important as fasting.

In the past, Larry was morbidly obese and had IBS, bloody gums, bloody stools, severe asthma, allergies, depression, and brain fog. One day, Larry stopped buying bread and pasta. Plus, he threw out the canola oil and did a whole pantry makeover. Larry recommends reading Grain Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/031623480X/benazadi-20. Also, Larry says he learned a lot from Eat Like A Human: https://eatlikeahuman.com/. In total, Larry has lost 120 pounds. [09:25] Both Kay Lynne and Larry Have Benefited From Lifestyle Changes As an elementary school teacher, Kay Lynne ate a lot of processed foods throughout the day. When Larry changed his diet, Kay Lynne followed suit. Larry and Kay Lynne started intermittent fasting organically because they simply weren't hungry. Kay Lynne's heaviest weight was 210, and she lost 70 pounds. [16:25] Changing Your Lifestyle Can Make Your Relationships Even Better Larry and Kay Lynne's relationship got better when they changed their diets. Not being hungry all the time was one of the best benefits of their lifestyle changes. Plus, Larry and Kay Lynne feel more comfortable in their bodies. Weight loss is excellent for a better and more pleasurable experience in your own body. [21:00] Remember That We Are Still Fundamentally Our Ancestors Larry recommends checking out Primal Blueprint: https://www.primalblueprint.com/ Primal Blueprint focuses not just on food but on the whole person. Movement and mindset are also crucial on your journey to health. Sometimes people just try and change their food. Well, there are so many other things you need to consider when becoming healthy. Remember, we are still fundamentally our ancestors. [31:55] The Importance of Feasting and Fasting In Your Lifestyle  The only thing better than fasting is eating, and the only thing better than eating is fasting. Our ancestors enjoyed large full meals. The only thing constant about nature is change. So why shouldn't we change our diet? You can eat higher real food carbs productively during a feast. Carb cycling is a great way to make sure you don't plateau. Variation is magic when it comes to your health! [38:05] How To Inspire Your Partner To Make Lifestyle Changes You should lead by example when making lifestyle changes with your spouse. Remember, you can't control the people around you. Stick to your lifestyle changes and show your partner how much better you feel. Larry's enthusiasm and consistency motivated Kay Lynne to change her diet and lifestyle. For your journey to success, we all have to know that even our best friend and closest partner is not responsible for what we put in our mouths. We can't force change; we can serve as an example.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Brian Lenzkes. He is an internal medicine doctor based in San Diego who has focused much of his attention on clinical nutrition. He owned his own medical practice with a group of physicians from 2004-2020. Dr. Lenzkes is co-host of the popular LowCarbMD podcast, which has more than 1.4 million downloads, and is a professional speaker. Dr. Lenzkes attended UC Irvine and received a Bachelor of Science in Biology before attending the University of Southern California Medical School. After graduating in 1999, he started his Residency Program at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego. He extended his residency for a year to serve as Chief Resident before starting his private practice career at Internal Medicine Associates in 2004. Dr. Lenzkes has been voted one of the "Top Doctors" in San Diego for 11 years. Even after gaining the medical community's and his patients' respect, Dr. Lenzkes felt a void as many patients with chronic conditions became sick and required more medications. At the same time, Dr. Lenzkes battled his own weight gain while following 'standard medical advice.' In this episode, Dr. Lenzkes first reveals how he learned about a fasting and low-carb lifestyle. After trying it himself, Dr. Lenzkes lost the weight he gained while following 'standard medical advice.' Dr. Lenzkes dives deep into the correlation between high insulin levels and cardiovascular disease. If you haven't already, now is the time to check your insulin levels. Tune in as we chat about reversing type 2 diabetes, the importance of muscle mass, and the massive problem with chronic stress.   Download my free keto grocery shopping list: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

One patient found fasting successful, and Dr. Lenzkes decided to research the lifestyle. After losing weight with fasting and low-carb, Dr. Lenzkes was hesitant to share this new information with his patients.  Dr. Lenzkes got a lot of backlash from his colleagues. However, Dr. Lenzkes gets patients off insulin; not many people can say that.  [13:30] The Correlation Between High Insulin Levels and Cardiovascular Disease  There's a massive correlation between high insulin levels and cardiovascular disease. Nearly 100% of Dr. Lenzkes's patients have never had an insulin check until seeing him. You don't just wake up with type two diabetes; you have ten years to predict that diabetes is coming before you get it.  Lower your insulin levels; that way, you won't need as much insulin to get the desired effect.  Dr. Lenzkes highly recommends checking out Dr. Jason Fung's work. Find it here: https://www.thefastingmethod.com/. [19:40] How Exercise and Movement Will Help Prevent Type 2 Diabetes  Most diabetics, if you look at their lab work untreated, they're going to have high triglycerides in that 300 to 500 range. LDL can be increased or low; it doesn't matter. HDL will be low.  When you get HDL right and the triglycerides come down, you feel a lot better. Exercise and stress management is essential because it helps burn sugar and your fat reserves.  When you run out of reserves, you have diabetes because the sugar stays in your bloodstream.  [31:50] The Reason Doctors Don't Talk About Diet and Lifestyle During A Visit Dr. Lenzkes uses a company called Ulta Lab Tests: https://www.ultalabtests.com/. Patients can order Ulta, or your doctor can get it for less.  Doctors have been trained a certain way, so they may not want to test for insulin.  Plus, doctors are pressed for time and are judged based on how many patients they see each day.  Many doctors only see a patient for nine minutes. It is impossible to talk about diet and lifestyle during these visits.  [36:10] Many Doctors Don't See The Truth; Instead, They Stick With What They Learned In Medical Schools  Doctors are taught that you need three meals daily, and breakfast is the day's most important meal. However, that's simply not the case.  Doctors stick with what they learn no matter what evidence says otherwise.  Many doctors will see high blood pressure and tell people to cut salt. Well, salt is high because insulin is high. High insulin causes you to retain sodium in your kidney. The answer should be to lower insulin instead.  [42:50] Lower Your Insulin Through Sleep, Exercise, and Stress Management What's more important to lower insulin, sleep or exercise? If you prioritize something, it's sleep. Next, don't be stressed out and angry. Then, eat real food that isn't processed to lower insulin.  Regular exercise will also help lower insulin.  The more muscle mass you have, the more insulin sensitive you are.  Putting muscle mass on is never going to be the wrong answer. The more muscle mass you have, the longer you live. The lower your insulin levels are, the longer you live.  [57:30] Chronic Stress Could Be Causing Your Metabolical Sickness  Fatty liver disease means you are metabolically sick.

Today, I am blessed to have for a second time Drew Manning. Drew is the New York Times best-selling author of Fit2Fat2Fit: The Unexpected Lessons from Gaining and Losing 75 lbs on Purpose and has for years been a leading voice in the burgeoning Keto Diet movement. Drew is also the creator of the A&E Show Fit to Fat to Fit and the host of The Fit2Fat2Fit Experience podcast. With over a million social media followers, Drew continues to transform people's lives all around the world. Known for his straightforward and empathetic fitness and health coaching, Drew has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, CNN, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, The View, and MSNBC, among other media outlets. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his daughters, who remind him every day not to take things too seriously. In this episode, Drew talks about his first two Fit2Fat2Fit experiments. He reveals what the most challenging aspects of gaining 75 pounds and losing it again were. As a personal trainer, Drew realized that he was totally wrong in his approach to helping people transform. In reality, life's emotional and mental side has way more impact on our physical transformations than we realize. Later, Drew talks about the importance of becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable on any transformational journey. Tune in as Drew answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners at the end of the show.

As a personal trainer, Drew had never once been overweight a day in his life. However, Drew's clients were overweight pretty much every day of their life. Unfortunately, Drew couldn't understand why it's so hard for them to follow the meal plans and do the workouts that he gave them. So, Drew went on a journey to gain a better understanding of what it was like to be overweight, and he put on 75 pounds in six months. Drew learned that he was totally wrong in his approach to helping people transform.   [10:05] Dealing With A Breakup Was The Hardest Part of Fit2Fat2Fit Drew and his girlfriend broke up during the Fit2Fat2Fit experiment. Many people ask if the breakup was because of this journey, and the honest truth is no. Sadly, they had problems before the journey even started. However, the problems were amplified because of Drew's unhealthy physical state, which affected his emotional state. When you're unhealthy, your ability to handle stress is severely diminished. Plus, you're more reactive, and you're in survival mode. Overall, unhealthy living causes a lot more issues in whatever relationship you're in, whether it's romantic, friendships, or family. After the breakup, Drew was sad, lonely, and depressed. It was the hardest part of the journey for Drew.   [18:20] The Transition Back To ‘Fit' After Gaining So Much Weight Drew made the transition back to being ‘fit' cold turkey. He flipped the switch and went completely keto. Drew was excited, but he did not underestimate the power of withdrawal symptoms. Drew's body would almost fight back against him with cravings to eat the processed food because he had trained it for so long to eat that. Thousands of people signed up to follow Drew on his journey, so that's what motivated him to keep going. Community is a powerful tool on any journey of wellness.   [21:55] Physical Transformation Is Way More Emotional Than We Think The stresses of life don't go away when you're on a physical weight loss journey. If you're not prepared to deal with the emotional challenges that have been holding you back from living that healthy physical lifestyle, then transformation will not be manageable. You need new thought patterns so you can actually have success on the physical transformation side. If we can give people tools on the emotional side, then they will be able to handle physical transformations.   [26:00] The Importance of Becoming Comfortable In Uncomfortable Situations Here are some tools to help strengthen the mental side of your transformation: Make your bed every single day. Take a cold shower for 60 seconds. Write a daily gratitude list. Say positive affirmations each day. These things can be uncomfortable for lots of people, but training your brain to become comfortable in these uncomfortable situations can carry over into eating healthy food. We can become comfortable in these uncomfortable situations. That way, the physical journey will be so much easier.   [29:05] The Reason That We Are More Than Our Bodies Many of us see our identity as our body image. During Fit2Fat2Fit, Drew was uncomfortable and didn't feel like himself anymore. Sadly, he was going through an identity crisis. Think about your identity without your body – it's a powerful tool to learn. Learn how to step outside of your body and realize that you have so much more to offer the world. We are more than our bodies – it's time to break free of that cycle.   [34:50] Why Getting Healthier Will Cause You To Be Happier A healthier version of you is going to cause you to be happier. Also, a healthier version of you is going to make it easier for you to be more fulfilled. Instead of focusing on being skinnier and getting ripped, people should focus on being healthier. A critical piece of health is managing stress. These are some powerful stress management tools: Meditation Prayer Journaling Getting out in nature Being with family Being with loved ones Relationships Sleeping   [45:45] Finding A Healthy Alternative To Ben & Jerry's Sadly, Drew hasn't found a quality replacement for Ben & Jerry's yet. However, there are some good keto ice creams out in the world. Drew doesn't want to eat ice cream when stressed out; it's a bad habit to form. Instead, eat ice cream with intention and enjoy it. Don't do it to escape any situation or feeling. Always have a good intention when eating something. Self-awareness plays a big role in being able to control emotional eating.   [56:20] How To Move Out Of Complacency During A Physical Transformation The scale isn't the best measurement of your health. Instead, think about other areas of your life that are improving. Ask yourself these questions: Are you getting stronger with your workouts? Are you building up your endurance? Are you fitting into your clothes better? Are you waking up with more energy? You don't want to be on this journey just for the end results. The results don't determine your level of happiness or your level of success.     AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Drew's Website: https://www.fit2fat2fit.com/home Follow Drew Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fit2fat2fit/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit2fat2fit/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/fit2fat2fit YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCswymLgKhJCH83HGkCOhiEA Complete Keto Program: https://completeketo.fit2fat2fit.com/complete-keto-30 Listen to Drew Manning, Keto Myths, Clean Keto vs Dirty Keto, Complete Keto & More!

Then, Mark dives deep into his past, including the challenging decision to call off his engagement. In society, we place a high value on our relationship status; Mark explains why the most important relationship you should have is with yourself. Plus, if you're in a high-conflict relationship, it could be detrimental to your health. Tune in as we chat about healthy boundaries, learning to love, and how to avoid losing yourself in a relationship.  Download my free keto grocery shopping list: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

They ask when you're getting engaged. When you're engaged, they ask when you will get married.  If you get divorced, then people think that means you failed. Well, one of the greatest gifts we can give is recognizing the value of goodbyes.  Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is leave.  After three months of engagement, Mark left his relationship.  [17:00] Stress and High Conflict Relationships Are Creating Poor Health  High conflict couples have higher amounts of leaky gut.  There's an inflammatory process that occurs when we're dysregulated. When you avoid chaos on the outside, you internalize it.  If you're anxious about something, it can lead to a sick stomach.  The journey of relationships is teaching us how incredibly wise we are. [22:10] Are You Going To A Job That You Hate? Stop Doing Things You Don't Love Most heart attacks happen on Monday morning between 8 am and 9 am. Your body gives many warnings; it's normal to live through those warnings.  When we perpetually do things we don't love, it sends the message that we don't believe in ourselves.  If you want to find what matters to you, then find what breaks your heart.  After Mark's relationship ended, he felt so connected to himself. However, he was judged by everyone for it.  [27:45] Please Avoid Losing Yourself In Your Relationships When a relationship ends, you'll hear people say, “they took a part of me.” In society, we are taught that people complete us.  Also, it's normal to give up everything for love.  However, if you lose your relationship, you end up losing yourself.  [39:40] Why You Shouldn't Feel Guilty About Expressing Boundaries When you are afraid to express a boundary, it comes from a beautiful place.  If you don't want to communicate your boundaries, most likely, you are trying to protect other people from experiencing feelings.  When Mark quit drinking, he feared what other people would think of him at weddings, bachelor parties, and guys trips.  However, Mark had gone to his first wedding sober and had the time of his life.  If you're not expressing boundaries, you are making other people's feelings more important than your own.  [47:00] Allow Other People To Be Disappointed Because Boundaries Will Preserve Your Wholeness Allow other people to be disappointed.  Don't try and save people from disappointment, and don't let their disappointment correlate to how you feel about yourself.  Boundaries will preserve wholeness.  When you declare a boundary, you have your own back.  [57:40] Take The Time To Learn About Love  Love is a verb.  If we make withdrawals from our love accounts, we can also make deposits.  Great relationships don't just come to people; they are created through behaviors.  We need to take the time to learn love, and everyone can learn it.

Eventually, healing others became Frank's life. Now, he can't see himself doing anything else.  [10:30] What Exactly Is An Emotion Code Practitioner?  The Emotion Code was created by Dr. Bradley Nelson.

[26:50] Strengthen and Maintain Your Curiosity Through Purposeful Awareness It's not easy to face everything that you are dealing with.  Frank has a daily practice of strengthening and maintaining his curiosity.  It's easy to be distracted and pulled away constantly.  Life should be done consciously and with awareness.  Have a purpose with everything that you do.  [30:35] Constant Awareness: Frank's Life Is A Daily Walking Meditation Want to be happy?

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, a pioneer in creating global awareness of low-level inflammation and how it is the underlying cause of most illness, disease, faster aging and weight gain, Dr. Lori Shemek. She has been sending out the message about inflammation long before it was a buzz word. Dr. Lori has uncovered the pathway to the core cause of weight: inflamed fat cells that not only promote unwanted excess weight gain and belly fat, but poor health as well. Lori Shemek is a Nutrition and Weight Loss expert, a best-selling author and specializes in weight loss resistance. She has helped many people to once and for all.. lose the weight and feel better fast. She shows people how to spot sneaky foods that create weight gain, to kick sugar addiction to the curb, and shift from eating the wrong foods to the exact foods that burn fat. Dr. Shemek is an award-winning, bestselling author of How To Fight FATflammation!; The Ketogenic Key; Beginner's Guide to Intermittent Fasting and Fire-Up Your Fat Burn!  She is a leading health and weight loss expert and also known as “The Inflammation Terminator.”  She has made it her mission to help clients lose weight and educate the public on the toxic effects of certain foods and lifestyle choices and how they create inflammation in the body resulting in weight gain. She is a leading authority on inflammation and its role in weight loss, preventing disease and optimizing health. The Huffington Post has recognized Dr. Shemek twice as one of the Top 16 Health and Fitness Experts, alongside such names as Dr. Oz and David Zinczenko, author of Eat This, Not That. The Huffington Post has also recognized her as one of the Top 35 Diet and Nutrition Experts. In this episode, Dr. Lori opens the show diving into her story. Dr. Lori's mom died at a young age from bad health. So, Dr. Lori made it her mission to help people make healthier choices. Dr. Lori chooses to focus on inflammation because you can prevent so many diseases and health issues if you can decrease your inflammation. Plus, reducing your inflammation will most likely result in weight loss. Also, Dr. Lori explores the best foods for keeping your inflammation down and reveals why you should avoid unstable fats. Tune in as we talk magnesium, carb cycling, and which type of lab tests you should order.

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [02:15] About Dr. Lori Shemek Lori's mom had a lot of health conditions. Her lifestyle choices drastically affected her life. She smoked cigarettes, was obese, had a horrible diet, and was under a lot of chronic stress. Unfortunately, her mom died at 36. Dr. Lori made it her mission to help people in the health realm. Lori created her own company to help people with their health. Many people feel like they don't have a choice when it comes to their health. However, that's far from the truth. 80% is a choice – we can change our gene expression.  [08:20] Why Dr. Lori Focuses on Inflammation Lori would read about inflammation at school – she realized that it was the key. If you can decrease your inflammation, then you can prevent so many diseases, ill-health, and weight gain. It is extremely beneficial to understand that inflammation is the reason for many health issues. [09:20] The Differences Between Acute Inflammation and Silent Inflammation We have three types of inflammation: Acute: we know the inflammation is there because it's uncomfortable, and it hurts. It's a cut on your finger, the terrible head cold, and the sprained ankle. This inflammation is great because it tells you that something is wrong with your body. Silent: the name suggests danger. It's silent; you don't know it's there. 75% of our country has silent inflammation, and they don't even know it. It's the core cause of illness, disease, faster aging, and weight gain. Fatflammation: fat cell inflammation is silent inflammation in the fat cells. The types of foods most Americans are eating is creating a body that is producing inflammatory molecules. When the fat cell gets bloated, it expands. The fat cell won't be happy. When the fat cell is not happy, it will act like it's sick or infected. Unfortunately, doctors will put a band-aid on chronic inflammation. [15:15] Foods For Inflammation Keto is an anti-inflammatory diet. Foods that will stop inflammation are things like omega-3. The critical foods for keto: Wild, fatty fish Seafood Berries Green tea The keto choices that we have are usually anti-inflammatory [17:15] The Problem With Consuming Unstable Fats on Keto Our cell membrane is thin, but it's essential for optimal health. The health of our cell membrane will determine your overall health. It allows nutrients to come in and out. The membrane is made of fat. Corn oil, vegetable oil, soil oil, canola oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil are highly processed and highly refined. The body does not know what to do with these processed oils. The cell membrane uses fats that you're eating. So if you're eating vegetable oils, those fats will become your cell membrane. [21:40] The Relationship Between The Cell Membranes and The Mitochondria   The mitochondria are everywhere – they are crucial because they generate ATP, which is the energy that our cell needs to survive. Stop eating the types of foods that are ruining the cell membrane. Then, ensure that you have enough magnesium. Magnesium is crucial for your optimal health and weight. The mitochondria starts sending out signals of distress to your body. Then, your body will begin to inflame within the cell. Until we intervene and make healthier choices, then the inflammation will continue. [25:55] The Importance of Magnesium When you eat low carb, you are emitting a lot of fluids. With that fluid comes a lot of precious minerals like magnesium. Lori says that people should take magnesium as a supplement. Lori will take magnesium threonate. There are many types of magnesium. You can use a supplement that has nine different types of magnesium. If you're overweight, you are going to need more magnesium. If you have foggy thinking, then you're going to need more. 600 mg is excellent. [30:00] Getting In and Out of Ketosis When we go in and out of ketosis, we teach our bodies how to be metabolically flexible. Depending on what works for you, ramp up your carb intake one or two days a week. However, if you're losing weight, then stay strict on the keto diet. When the weight starts to fall off, your body will be able to handle the carbohydrates. Otherwise, you won't be prepared for carbs. [32:35] Benefits From Fasting Health is about ketosis. If you don't want to do the ketogenic diet, then fasting will provide ketosis. Lori will do 14-16 hours of fasting each day. During fasting, your body will reset. If you have insulin resistance, intermittent fasting is a fantastic way to repair your body. [39:15] About Dr. Lori's Favorite Lab Tests Test your vitamin D. If you have a low vitamin D level, then you have an inflammation problem. Your vitamin D levels should be at 70 or higher. CRP value is important; the lower, the better. 1 or 2 is ideal. Test your glucose. Even the healthiest keto foods might not agree with you. Use a glucose monitor to determine what will raise your glucose. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Latt Mansor. He holds a PhD in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics from the University of Oxford. Dr. Mansor also holds an MA (Columbia University) and BS (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. Latt brings over a decade of experience spanning academic research, health technology, and pharmaceuticals. As H.V.M.N.'s Research Lead, he oversees the scientific development and clinical applications for all H.V.M.N. products. In this episode, Dr. Mansor speaks about the inspiration behind his career in the health industry, which eventually led to his role as H.V.M.N.'s Research Lead. Dr. Mansor explains why 88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible and how it's related to elevated blood glucose and chronic inflammation. Then, Dr. Mansor talks about the importance of stress on the body and how to find the “sweet spot” when it comes to weight lifting and other hormetic stressors. Tune in as we chat about exogenous ketones, improving sleep quality, and how Ketone-IQ can help your recovery.   Download my free keto grocery shopping list: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

His father passed away from a stroke, and his brother passed away from a heart attack. Growing up, Dr. Mansor was overweight. During his undergrad, Dr. Mansor learned about physiology and metabolism. Plus, during college, Dr. Mansor started to exercise and actually enjoyed exercise for the first time in his life. With all this knowledge, Dr. Mansor realized he could be healthy without worrying about the diseases his family members suffered from.  [10:35] Why Are 88% of American Adults Metabolically Inflexible?  Your nerves have a higher risk of getting damaged when there is a constant increase in elevated glucose in the blood. Your body knows something is wrong with increased glucose, which triggers chronic inflammation. Metabolism is all about balance and moderation.  Every enzyme has a specific temperature range at which it's optimal.  When you activate inflammation constantly, there are bound to be adverse side effects.  [15:35] Life Is All About Challenges and Growth - Use Trial and Error To Find Your Sweet Spot  Life is all about giving yourself a challenge, adapting, learning, and growing. Next time you face the same challenge, you can tackle it in a much more efficient way.  It can be difficult to find the sweet spot when you are challenging yourself. Dr. Mansor uses a trial and error approach when it comes to knowing his sweet spot while exercising.  Your body will adapt. People want instant change; however, you need to give your body time to change.  [22:40] You Need To Train Your Body To Respond To Certain Conditions Effectively and Optimally  Metabolic inflexibility is your body's inability to switch from burning glucose to burning fat. When there is dysfunction, there is bound to be a deficiency, and there is bound to be wasted energy. Everyone thinks cortisol is the bad guy; however, you need cortisol to function.  The goal is not to shut down whatever is related to chronic disease. Instead, you want to train your body to respond to specific conditions effectively and optimally.  [30:20] Exogenous Ketones Are a Source of Energy and Can Help Lower Your Hunger Hormones Ketones are fuel for you to create energy.  There are still calories with exogenous ketones.  You won't lose weight if you have too many calories and are not exercising.  Ghrelin is the hunger hormone. Ketones can help lower that hunger hormone. [36:05] Exogenous Ketones Are Useful For Getting Back Into Ketosis  If you are following a ketogenic diet, you may not need exogenous ketones. However, do you have a hard time getting back into ketosis? If you fall out of ketosis, exogenous ketones can be a helpful way for you to get back into ketosis. Exogenous ketones are also a great tool to use before exercising.  [43:20] The Brain Doesn't Metabolize Glucose As Efficiently After A Traumatic Brain Injury  Dr. Mansor researched how ketones can be a therapeutic intervention to treat traumatic brain injury. Within 48 hours, studies show hypermetabolism of glucose after trauma.  Some researchers think the body wants glucose for energy to repair.  Ketones can help give the brain another option to produce energy.  For some reason, the brain doesn't metabolize glucose as efficiently after a traumatic brain injury.  [55:55] Ketone-IQ Is A Useful Biohack To Improve Your Sleep and Recover Faster  A dose of ketones after a workout and a dose of ketones before sleep can be helpful for recovery.  Plus, ketones before sleep can improve sleep quality.  Ketone-IQ has been proven to support energy, focus, and endurance. Do not take ketones more than half an hour before bed.  Instead, take ketones right before you go to sleep.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out H.V.M.N.: https://hvmn.me/ketokamp (use code: “KETOKAMP”) Follow Latt Mansor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lattmansor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/lattmansor Follow H.V.M.N.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Brian Sanders. He is the filmmaker behind the Food Lies documentary, host of the top 5 nutrition podcast Peak Human, and an international speaker.  He graduated from UCLA with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He works as a Health Coach at Evolve Healthcare and co-founded the health education company Sapien. He also works to spread the awareness of regenerative agriculture and increase access to well-raised animal products through his company Nose to Tail. In this episode, Brian opens the show by explaining the inspiration behind his diet and lifestyle changes. Then, he dives into his documentary Food Lies and the new science changing everything we need to know about nutrition. Later, Brian explains why cows aren't causing a climate crisis and how the facts don't show that red meat causes cancer. Tune in as we talk about the importance of protein, why processed foods companies are behind the vegan agenda, and regenerative agriculture.  Get your tickets to KetoCon: www.ketocon.org use the coupon code ketokamp for a discount.

The whole goal is to get Food Lies on Netflix.  Food Lies is all about the sordid history of our dietary guidelines, what we should be eating, and how to do it sustainably.  [15:20] Are Cows Really Causing The Climate Crisis?  There's always been methane coming from ruminant animals. Methane from animals is part of the natural system.  There's a huge diversion going on. 95% of emission problems are from other industries.  The fossil fuel industry extracts carbon from deep into the ground.  Big industry is controlling the narrative around methane and cows.  [23:30] All Animals Require Protein: What Happens When You're Not Getting Enough Building Blocks  All animals acquire food to get a certain amount of protein. If animals don't have enough protein in their food, they have to eat more food to get enough protein. The protein of the population has dropped dramatically. When you drop protein, you have to eat more calories as a result.  Protein isn't the answer for everything; you also have to consider nutrient density. [31:30] How Much Protein Should You Be Eating Every Single Day?  Eat a gram per pound of body weight or lean body mass. There isn't a downside to eating this much protein.  If you have a severe kidney problem, there's a chance you'll have issues with too much protein.  You'll have a problem if you're eating high protein and highly processed foods.  If your ideal weight is 130 pounds, consume 130 grams of protein.  [37:10] Does Eating Red Meat Cause Cancer? No, The Problem Is Processed Foods  Why is there a worldwide agenda against meat? Epidemiology can't show causation; it can only show correlation.  A famous study says that red meat causes cancer. However, it has a lot more to do with eating processed foods with processed meats. If you're eating a hot dog, you're eating a bun. If you're eating a steak, you're probably not eating a bun.  [40:45] Processed Food Companies Are Behind The Vegan Agenda  A massive conglomeration of worldwide processed food companies is pushing the vegan agenda.  The countries that eat little meat have 30-40% child malnutrition and stunted growth.  There's barely any profit margin in milk, eggs, fish, and fresh foods. That's why the vegan agenda is so popular because big companies can make huge profit margins on their products.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Sapien: https://www.sapien.org Food Lies: https://www.foodlies.org Nose to Tail: https://nosetotail.org/ KetoCon: https://www.ketocon.org/ketocon-2022/ (use code “KETOKAMP”) Follow Brian Sanders Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodliesorg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/food.lies/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/foodlies Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me the President and CEO of AJ Consulting Company, Dr. Anthony Jay. Dr. Jay earned a B.A. with a double major in Biology and Theology from Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida, where he researched HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) inhibitors. This is a repeat episode which originally aired on April 19th 2021. After college, he continued to work with virus (lentivirus) in the context of Alzheimer's disease for the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs. Next, Dr. Jay earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Boston University School of Medicine, researching fats, hormones, and cholesterol. Dr. Jay has also worked for 3 years as a scientific researcher at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, researching stem cells, epigenetics, and infrared light. Currently, in addition to leading AJCCo, Dr. Jay is a bestselling author of Estrogeneration. Did you know that the water from our faucet is full of birth control? In this episode, Dr. Jay reveals how he found his passion for artificial estrogens. Then, we jump into the importance of getting sunshine every single day. Not only are there loads of mental health benefits, but the UV will help break up toxins under your skin. Then, Dr. Jay talks about cholesterol and all-cause mortality, optimal vitamin D levels, and sunscreen problems. We end the conversation jumping into all things Covid, including face masks and vaccines.

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [00:20] About Dr. Jay + His Interest In Artificial Estrogens Jay got interested in artificial estrogens way back in college. In college, they told him the water from the faucet was full of birth control. It opened up an entire can of worms. Jay started to recognize fake estrogen chemicals all over the place. So, he compiled a top ten list of these daily exposures and wrote the book You can get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRAFYZL/benazadi-20  [03:10] The Benefits of Getting Sunshine Every Single Day There are a lot of interesting genetic risks that are dependent on sunshine and basically fixed by getting out in the sun. Sunshine will help increase your body's metabolism. The sun will also help break down toxin removal. Laser removal of tattoos is literally zapping heavy metals. Those heavy metals are in big enough chunks that your immune system cannot clear them. Sunshine will zap the large chunks of heavy metals. Even if you don't have tattoos, the UV will help you break up toxins from under your skin. Jay's favorite benefit is that it increases your body's natural production of melanotan. Plus, sunshine will help combat seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Watch the video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y-1fsJbd0A [12:25] An Intriguing Study! Total Cholesterol And All-Cause Mortality There's a study called: Total cholesterol and all-cause mortality by sex and age: a prospective cohort study among 12.8 million adults. You can check it out here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-38461-y The research is very clear about optimal levels for total cholesterol. When you get above 200 on your cholesterol, doctors will tell you that you need statins as soon as possible. Jay takes the prescriptions and then throws them out. However, if your blood sugar's above 85, fasted, that's a threefold higher risk of heart disease. Anything above 85 is not considered optimal. Americans will come in at 95, and a cardiologist will ignore that. [16:30] The Optimal Ranges For Your Vitamin D Levels 30 – 70 or 30 – 100 are optimal ranges. The average American is at 30. As soon as you get below 50, you see associations with health issues. For instance, people will suffer from gut issues, chronic fatigue, and depression with those levels. If you are at 200, there is some risk of calcifying your arteries. Keep it between 50 and 100 for optimization. Getting in the sun will bump your levels up to 70 or 80. [19:50] The Issues With Sunscreen - How Safe Is Sunscreen? The main ingredient is oxybenzone. It's a manmade chemical, and it acts like estrogen in your body. You do not want to rub it on your skin. After one application of sunscreen, oxybenzone levels were above the government's safety levels even one week later. The government limits are absurd, anyway! Estrogen chemicals don't kill the cells because they act like estrogen. It will do a lot of weird things to the cell instead. Zinc is an excellent alternative for sunscreen. Check out the products that Dr. Jay uses: https://www.ajconsultingcompany.com/whatiuse.html [24:25] Dr. Jay's Favorite Ways To Optimize Your Immune System   The best way to optimize your immune system is to sleep. Most people are sleep-deprived. Jay will get an hour and a half of deep sleep and an hour and a half of REM sleep. In college, Dr. Jay would sleep three hours a night. He would brag about it! Infrared lights will help you sleep way better. Also, the colder the bedroom, the deeper sleep you will get. Intermittent fasting will also help with your immune system. That way, your cells can take out the trash. Sunshine is another way to improve your immune system. Don't forget to get your skin in the sun – take those shirts off! [36:45] Why You Might Want To Think Twice About The Covid Vaccines When researchers do all these studies for pharmaceutical companies and come out with a drug, they don't actually have to release that study. When someone has an adverse reaction to a drug, the company has to release the study. With vaccines, the companies do not have to release the studies. So, the general public has not been able to see the vaccine study. We cannot see the study on the vaccine; that's a red flag. Also, this vaccine is very experimental. If the chemicals in these vaccines were in cleaning products, we wouldn't use them. [42:20] Unfortunately, The Vaccines Could Be Manipulating Your Epigenetics These vaccines could be messing with our epigenetics. There's a cool epigenetic study where they actually use electricity and zap rats every time they smell cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms smell good, but the zap gave them an aversion to the blossoms. The offspring of the rats would have a fear response to cherry blossoms. Epigenetics is super powerful.   [45:30] Covid-19 In America: It's Time To Wake The [BLEEP] Up! The only positive lining in this whole Covid thing is it's woken a lot of people up to how much shenanigans goes on behind the scenes. Sadly, scientists are manipulating data. You pick your own peer reviewers – it is easily manipulated. You saw the same thing with the manipulation of Covid numbers. People should have the freedom to get the vaccines, and they should have the freedom not to get the vaccine. We should never blindly accept anything that comes out of pharmaceutical companies. [51:50] How Well Do Face Masks Even Work? Herd Immunity For The Win! If you wear the wrong type of face masks, it can disperse the droplets even more. N95 mask will help people with autoimmune conditions. In fact, they should give them away to those people. Everyone else should not wear masks. We want herd immunity! Herd immunity works, and it's successful. AND MUCH MORE!

Should I Do Keto If I Don't Want To Lose Weight? Yes, you should do keto even if you don't want to lose weight. Keto is excellent for your brain and cognitive performance; keto helps you be productive and resilient. In fact, ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier and give you an alternative fuel source. If you're never making ketones, you deprive your cells of 50% of your body's fuel source. In addition, keto is great for longevity, anti-aging, and lowering inflammation in the body. It's a great tool whether you want to lose weight or not. Many people come to keto primarily to lose weight. However, they stick with keto because they love the other health benefits they see from the lifestyle. I Can't Get My Ketones Above .5, What Am I Doing Wrong? First, you're not doing anything wrong. Maybe you can change your approach. When it comes to ketones, higher doesn't necessarily mean better. You don't want high glucose, so why would you want high ketones? .5 is great! That means you are burning fat instead of sugar - congratulations! However, if you want to raise your ketones, fasting is a great way to get those numbers up. Also, MCT oil has been proven to raise ketone production. Add MCT oil to your coffee or tea. Lastly, about 30% of MCT is in goat and sheep dairy. Overall, it's important to remember that you should pay attention to how you're feeling rather than what your ketone levels are. What Should I Do If I'm In Ketosis, But I'm Not Losing Weight? Weight loss is a worthy goal; you should want to get healthy by reaching your goal weight. However, the human body doesn't always prioritize weight loss. In fact, losing weight is against our basic survival instinct. The body needs to get healthy and optimize its hormones first; as a result of these two things, the weight will come off. If you're struggling with weight loss, you should put your scale away. Now it's time to focus on the non-scale victories. Are your energy levels improving? How is your skin complexion? Are your clothes fitting better? Start taking pictures! The number on the scale is a liar because the scale will fluctuate for so many reasons. All in all, pay attention to how you're feeling and looking rather than the number on the scale. Can You Gain Weight By Doing The Ketogenic Diet? Yes, you can gain weight by doing the ketogenic diet. If you prioritize your protein on a keto approach and have a caloric surplus, most likely, you will gain weight. Increasing your calories is going to help put you in a growth place. Some ketogenic bodybuilders put on tons of muscles. You have to be strategic regarding proteins, calories, weightlifting, and quality sleep. If you want to gain weight, you can definitely make it happen on a ketogenic diet. While on the other hand, will you gain weight if that's not your goal? Yes, it can happen. If you're overeating fat, then you can gain weight. Remember, your body can get fat from dietary fat or the fat on your body. How Can We Support The Liver? Symptoms are such a blessing and a gift from the body. A symptom means something is going on that we need to explore. Symptoms are trying to tell you something and may be telling you to support the liver. The liver produces bile. Bile is needed for detoxification and breaking down fats. When you're increasing your healthy fats, but your liver is sluggish, you can't produce the proper bile flow to break down the fats. Sluggish bile is one of the reasons why people will feel worse when they try the keto diet. Apple cider vinegar is terrific for liver and fat loss. Coffee, arugula, dandelion greens, dandelion teas, lemons, and limes are great ways to support the liver as well.

Episode Highlights [03:03] Ben's Fitness Story Ben grew up following the standard 'sad, toxic, and process-filled American diet' alongside unhealthy behaviours linked to drugs, alcohol, and video games. At 24, Ben started to read health books. Reading helped change his mindset and take ownership and responsibility for his life and decisions.  He began exercising and eating better. Ben went from 250 pounds at 34% body fat to 170 pounds at 6% body fat.  Ben continues to explore different diets and protocols and keeps up with the research.  [07:16] The Deal with Type II Diabetes Ben's father had Type II diabetes and died from it despite following his healthcare providers' instructions. His father's untimely death prompted Ben to question the ‘conventional approach' to treating diabetes and why many people suffer from the chronic disease. Ben considers this a significant turning point in his transformation journey. He believes that the pain pushed him from hobby to purpose. [10:43] Ben's Book: Keto Flex  Ben has authored four books: Keto Flex, The Perfect Health Booklet, The Intermittent Fasting Cheat Sheet, and The Power of Sleep.  Keto Flex, his flagship book, was written to help people understand what ketosis is, how to apply it, and how to use it as one tool to achieve metabolic flexibility. A study conducted by the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill found that only 12% of the American adult population is metabolically healthy.  [14:47] Get Well, Fix the Cell The human body has an innate intelligence that acts as the world's greatest physician, healer, doctor, chiropractor, and health coach from within. The cell membrane is where this intelligence lies; hence, this is the part that needs care.   Ben explains that removing interferences from bad nutrition, lifestyle, and behaviour, among other things, is one method to promote cell membrane health. Listen to the full episode to learn about good and bad oils! [25:21] Insulin Resistance  Ben explains that the body's optimal amount of glucose is about one to two teaspoons or 80 milligrams per deciliter.  Insulin levels spike when the body takes in too much glucose, overworking your receptors. The solution is to reduce carbohydrate intake, practice intermittent fasting, and drop glucose and insulin.  Measure, then double your waistline. If it's more than your height, you probably have metabolic dysregulation. [31:52] Taking Responsibility for your Health Insulin resistance leads to Type II diabetes, leading to many other problems — stroke, heart attack, infections, and kidney failures.  Diabetes and insulin resistance are easy to reverse, but they involve time and effort. Understanding the process and science will make people much more likely to do the work. Epigenetic changes take place over at least six to eight weeks or longer.   There is no need to avoid carbs for years. Instead, try different avenues of healing to get optimal peak healthy states.  [38:33] Counter Regulatory Hormones  Human bodies drop insulin in a fasted state. The body's counter-regulatory hormones increase as you lower insulin. This is the body's innate intelligence to pump the body full of energy for daily functions.  At the same time, when the body is dropping insulin, it burns body fat and produces ketones giving you another fuel source.  Listen to the episode to learn more about how keto works!  [41:58] Metabolic Flexibility Think of intermittent fasting as a muscle that develops over time. It has to be trained to have metabolic flexibility . Hypoglycemic people often feel awful during the fast; instead of burning fat and producing ketones, their brains panic and send intense signals for cravings for sugar and carbs.  Exogenous ketones also help people transition through the phase.  Ben recommends adding ketones in the mix and electrolytes during keto to help transition into the ketosis state.  It gives the body the needed ketones, especially for people who have never experienced a deficit of calories or glucose.  [48:08] Keto Diets   Keto is not a diet. It is a metabolic process. Ketosis is our natural fat-burning state. It has always been around for as long as humans have existed.  Dieting is not the only path to health — there are other tools to use. [51:22] Focus on Cellular Health, Not Just Losing Weight  Do it from a lens of cellular health, not just losing weight. Do not lose weight to get healthy. As you get healthy, you will lose weight. View health in cycles, just like in circadian rhythm. Listen to the full episode to learn about the four pillars of keto flexing!  [59:35] Thyroid Epidemic  Insulin resistant bodies create more cellular inflammation, including membrane and receptor sites in the thyroid, making it more difficult for the thyroid to do its job.  Long term ketosis usually causes a thyroid epidemic.  Elevated insulin and chronically low insulin levels affect the body, particularly the thyroid.  Balance is always important.  7 Powerful Quotes ‘When I took ownership and responsibility, I immediately became the victor of my future [and] stopped becoming the victim of my history.'   ‘When I went through my transformation, it was more of a hobby that I was treating health and teaching it. When I lost my dad, it went from a hobby to pain to purpose. And that's what lights me up every day to get the message out there.'   ‘If you want to get well, you got to fix the cell.' ‘These are lifestyle interventions and dietary changes. And nobody can make money out of that. So nobody's going to be pushing you to do that. And it is hard.' ‘If you treat your health casually, you end up a casualty.' ‘...There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something you accept. No excuses, only results.'  ‘So I love to kind of change the paradigm when it comes to keto. Teach people that keto is not a diet, keto is a metabolic process.'

I am delighted to have the opportunity to converse with Kristina Hess today! Kristina is a premier health coach, licensed dietician, and nutritionist with a functional and integrative approach. Everyone should feel free to experiment with different types of nutritional dogma. However, we should always stay open-minded and lean into whatever our bodies need. I love that Kristina has married the trajectory of her life with genetics and nutrition. So I asked her to join me on the podcast to discuss nutrigenomics.  In this episode, Kristina shares her backstory and talks about growing up and living all over the world, her history of veganism, and healing her body with a nutrient-dense, whole food, primal/paleo diet. She gives some examples of genetic tendencies and low penetrants. She and I dive into gene variants, nutritional choices that include the use of ethanol or alcohol, seed oils, lifestyle choices, and testing. Kristina also provides recommendations for working with individuals trained in the unique form of genetics and study of nutrition and gene expression, known as nutrigenomics. I hope you will gain a lot from today's fascinating conversation with Kristina Hess! Stay tuned for more! Special announcement: I will be an honored guest at the Keto Symposium, a one-and-a-half-day event in New York City on the 23rd and 24th of September, to speak, along with others like the amazing Ben Azadi!  IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Kristina talks about the Keto Symposium, the very first low-carb conference on the ketogenic lifestyle and fasting. She explains why it is so special. Kristina shares her interesting backstory. How Kristina finally realized that the vegan lifestyle was damaging her body. Kristina explains what nutrigenomics is. Some gene variants are older and have not changed or adapted to more modernized food. Kristina explains how lifestyle choices can impact those variants.  What can people do to impact their gene expression? It is important to take your gene data to a qualified professional for interpretation and talk to them about your lifestyle. Kristina discusses some of the more common gene combinations she sees that could cause weight loss resistance. Kristina talks about isolated low penetrant gene SNPs. Be a detective and do some testing when in doubt. Kristina talks about alcohol and how it could impact epigenetic signaling.  Why should you avoid consuming seed oils? Some lifestyle habits everyone should adopt.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Sylvia Tara. She holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from The University of California, San Diego, and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. This episode originally aired on March 1st 2021. She was a healthcare management consultant with McKinsey & Company and has worked for the world's largest biotechnology companies. After an extended battle with fat, Dr. Tara became fascinated with its resiliency and embarked on a mission to better understand it. This book culminated in years of research and interviews with physicians, patients, and leading scientists. The Secret Life of Fat will forever change how you think about this misunderstood organ. Dr. Sylvia Tara is the author of the book, The Secret Life of Fat. This new book brings together historical perspective and cutting-edge research to reveal fat's true identity: an organ critical to our health. In this episode, Dr. Sylvia Tara reveals the inspiration behind her fat research. We usually think fat is simply storing calories. What most people don't know is that fat serves many purposes. Also, there are different types of fats. We dive into everything you need to know about fat, including what's vital about leptin and adiponectin. Later, we discuss the difference between men and women when it comes to fat loss. Plus, we talk about which types of exercises will be critical on your health journey.  Get Dr Sylvia Tara's Secret Life of Fat book here: https://amzn.to/3n2HSqn / 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. [00:30] About Dr. Sylvia Tara Sylvia gains weight really easily. Her whole life, she watches people eat whatever they feel like, drink whatever they want, and not gain any weight. So, Dr. Sylvia decided to understand fat once and for all. She went on a big expedition to really understand fat. She wanted to know why she would gain fat easier than other people. The Secret Life of Fat is based on all this research! We think of fat as storage for calories; however, it's so much more than that. [02:25] What Is Fat? Fat is a complex endocrine organ that has multiple functions: Storing calories. Producing leptin – which has a great effect on our brains, our bones, and multiple organs. Creating adiponectin – which has a lot of impact on where our fat is stored. [03:25] What You Need to Know About Leptin Our fat produces this hormone called leptin. It's the biggest producer of leptin in the body, and fat releases it into the bloodstream. Once leptin goes to the bloodstream, it goes to your brain; it'll tell your brain that you're overall satisfied. Basically, the brain will know that you are good, there's enough nutrition in the world, and you are okay. Leptin will also communicate with your muscles. It tells your muscles that it's okay to expend energy because you have enough nutrition. When we start to lose fat and begin to lose weight, say 10% or more, we reduce the amount of leptin we have. So, people who've lost 10% or more of their body weight respond enormously to food. Overall, once you've lost weight, you have to eat less than someone who's at that weight normally. It is why diets don't work! [07:15] The Role of Adiponectin Adiponectin is more or less telling fat where to go. When we have dietary fat, adiponectin will guide the fat in our bloodstream to the right parts of our body. So there's different kinds of fat, there's white fat. It's right under the skin, it's in your thighs, buttocks, arms, and it's actually the safest places to deposit fat. If you're going to have some fat, those are the places to put it. There's also visceral fat; it sits underneath the stomach wall. It is the more dangerous fat that's nestled against the internal pancreas organ. There's brown fat – it burns calories instead of storing calories. Plus, there is beige fat – it that can turn brown when we exercise. Overall, adiponectin will help guide the fat you eat and put it into the right place.  [09:20] How Exercise Can Help Adiponectin     It's around 20 hours of jogging a week to get adequate levels of adiponectin. That is when your body will start to shift around where your fat is. High-intensity interval training will also help raise your levels of adiponectin. You have to exercise a lot before it starts to affect you. It's best to work with your diet and do some exercise. Don't rely on exercise alone! [11:10] How To Get More Brown Fat Brown fat is actually used to create heat. We have brown fat around our heart; we have it around the clavicle areas and our spines. Having brown fat around those important areas is critical. These areas need to be heated even when we don't have exposure to cold. Beige fat, which was discovered last decade, is the fat that can turn brown through exercise. The more you exercise, the more you can increase your levels of brown fat. Exposure to cold will also increase your brown fat. [13:45] Women Produce 33% More Ghrelin Than Men After Exercise Women are designed just to have more fat. There are many reasons for this: Fat produces estrogen. Fat is linked to our reproducibility. When women exercise, they have a different reaction than men. Women's bodies produce ghrelin after exercise, and it's a hormone that's released from your stomach. If you burn off 600 calories or so, women produce 33% more ghrelin than men. There's all kinds of dieting tips for women versus men because women are different. [17:30] How Women Can Lose Body Fat Women have to be really patient, and you have to understand where you are on the spectrum of fat. Everyone has an individual fat blueprint. You have to understand your fat, and you have to be really forgiving of yourself. Another issue with women is that they have something called dichotomous thinking. [22:05] The Role Of How To Use Intermittent Fasting For Fat Loss Our growth hormone peaks at night. So, fasting during the nighttime will benefit your body because eating mitigates growth hormone levels. You want growth hormones because it's a great way to burn fat. If you sleep adequately, you're increasing your levels of leptin, which means you're going to be a little bit more satiated the next day during fasting. [26:30] Strategies To Keep Insulin At Bay Fiber will bring down insulin. Eating higher protein diets, lower carbs, and obviously not a ton of sugar will also help keep insulin at bay. Fasting enables you to manage insulin, and it helps with insulin sensitivity. [31:35] The Role of Genetics In Fat Storage To manage your fat, you have to work harder if you're at a genetic disadvantage. Some people tend to have a much higher appetite because they have a certain variant of the FTO gene. [35:30] How Environmental Factors Affect Fat The Four P's: Pesticides Plastics Preservatives Parabens Overall, it's important to really watch what you eat and watch what you put on your body. Think about what's really in the food that you eat! [43:45] Testing Your Fat The best way to test your fat is a CT scan. Sadly, there is no easier way to find out.  [48:20] Correlation Between Stress & Fat Stress is linked to abdominal fat. Exercise can be a perfect solution for people to lower their stress levels.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Richard Smith. Richard began his keto journey for weight loss hoping to cure severe anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and daily debilitating migraines. During the year, Richard managed to lose over 100lbs. After reversing his illnesses and transforming his physical and emotional well-being via a ketogenic lifestyle, Richard was dedicated to helping transform the health and lives of others by providing support and supplements. In this episode, Richard discusses his past health problems, including obesity, diabetes, fatigue, depression, and anxiety. He reveals how keto transformed his well-being and life. Then, Richard dives into why cholesterol isn't the enemy and how you can determine if your cholesterol profile is actually damaged or not. Richard digs deep into insulin and leptin and how to optimize these hormones. Tune in as we chat about the problem with insulin resistance and a simple test to tell if you are insulin resistant.

The worst part of Richard's health was his anxiety; he wouldn't be able to leave his house, car, or office. Richard never felt good enough to be around other people. Eventually, Richard realized that bread made his belly swell. So, he gave it up. Within 30 days of ditching bread, Richard lost 28 pounds. Starting keto has completely changed Richard's life; luckily, every factor of his life has improved. [26:20] Cholesterol Isn't The Enemy; In Fact, Cholesterol is Essential For Health Cholesterol is essential for life. It's imperative for cell formation, cell communication, nutrient absorption, nutrient transportation, and hormone production. The brain and the myelin sheath are made of cholesterol. Lacking cholesterol would be detrimental to your health. There is a massive miscommunication when it comes to cholesterol. LDL is proactive; it heals the body and repairs it. The two main contributing factors to heart disease are grains and seed oils. Seed oils do not help lower cholesterol. Reducing carbohydrates and seed oils is the best way to have healthy LDL. [35:00] Is Your Cholesterol Profile Damaged? Richard Explains Where Your Markers Should Be There's a simple way to see whether your cholesterol profile is damaged. Triglycerides are one of the most significant factors; aim for less than 0.5%. HDL should be greater than 1.5. The triglyceride to HDL ratio should be below one. You're in good shape if your cholesterol profile is around these markers. Remember, cholesterol is essential for life; every cell in the body is made of cholesterol. [39:45] You Can't Store Fat Without Insulin From Carbohydrates, Sugars, and Seed Oils We can't store fat without insulin. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas when we consume carbohydrates. Many people will eat carbs before going to the gym to have the energy to burn fat. However, when insulin is elevated, it tells the body to store fat. Eating carbs will make it almost impossible for us to burn fat for fuel. Insulin puts a biological lock on our fat stores and prevents them from leaving. Carbohydrates and sugars will increase insulin. Seed oils will also impact insulin; they cause insulin resistance. [42:40] The Foods You Eat Could Be Blocking Your Ability To Feel Full Leptin is a satiety hormone. It tells us that we have eaten and that we are full. Seed oils will block leptin. If you aren't feeling full, you will consume more food. Grains are high in lectins; they cause five times more fat storage than insulin. Lectins in grains will also block leptin. [49:55] Richard Reveals A Simple Test To Tell If You're Insulin Resistant As a world, we are insulin resistant. In fact, 95% of people are insulin resistant. Diabetes will start with food choices that began ten to fifteen years prior. There's a simple way to test if you suffer from insulin resistance. You have insulin resistance if you have an overhang over your pants, belt, or skirt. Restrict carbohydrates, and you will see a reduction in insulin levels. You don't need a myriad of medications to solve insulin resistance. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, a prominent leader in the field of Integrative Medicine, Dr. Erin Connealy. She utilizes the best of all sciences, including conventional, homeopathic, eastern medicine and modern medicine. She is the Medical Director of Cancer Center for Healing and Center for New Medicine.  The combined 30,000 S.F. clinics have become the largest integrative medical clinic in North America, and have been visited by over patients 47,000 patients. This is a repeat episode that was originally released in September 2021. The Center for New Medicine focuses on a precise and personalized approach to patient care that includes prevention, early detection of cancer, internal medicine, auto-immune disease, natural hormone replacement, chronic issues, and even aesthetics. Dr. Connealy's clinics focus on treating “the patient with the disease and not the disease of the patient, while determining the origin of the illness." Dr. Connealy created the Cancer Center for Healing as a result of the epidemic of cancer. Patients receive scientifically based treatments and receive integrative protocols.  She utilizes unique combination of Bio Energetic testing, RGCC testing, and comprehensive blood panels to create a personalized treatment plan for early to late stage cancer patients. Her clinic offers a variety of advance cancer treatments to maximize outcomes and minimize side effects.  Dr. Connealy created the Perfectly Healthy brand of products that are manufactured by state-of-the-art GMP FDA approved facilities.  All Perfectly Healthy products support human optimization for each patient. Perfectly Healthy products are also carried in the shop inside the Center for New Medicine, which curates hand-picked products that promote a healthy lifestyle.  In this episode, Dr. Connealy dives into her story of suffering from prenatal DES exposure. This exposure has caused massive amounts of collateral damage to Dr. Connealy. After realizing that conventional medicine wasn't going to be enough for herself and her patients, Dr. Connealy is working on educating the world on how to take care of themselves through food and other lifestyle changes. Dr. Connealy exposes the truth about cancer, how to determine if you're at risk for cancer, and what you can do to start preventing cancer today. Stay tuned as we speak about the problems with EMF exposure and the importance of fasting. *Dr. Connealy firmly believes that there is no 1 cause of cancer. It is the overwhelming presence of toxins, unresolved emotional trauma, EMFs, etc., that breakdown the body's ability to fight cancer and eventually leads to the growth of a tumor and a cancer diagnosis.* Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / 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, she realized that prescriptions would treat her patients and not fix them. Because of the collateral damage from DES, Dr. Connealy has always been focusing on her health. She has had a lot of medical interventions as a result of DES. Doctors are not teaching and informing patients that what you eat matters. The single determinant of health is what is on your fork. “We need to start educating the world on how to take care of themselves.” -Dr. Connealy [10:00] The Truth About Cancer For the last five years, Dr. Connealy has asked every patient about the first thing they have done since being diagnosed with cancer. 100% of patients said they changed their eating habits. Sugar and food are addictions. Unfortunately, people don't want to be strict with their eating program. Everyone grows up with cereal, so people tend to continue to do what we have always done. “The foundation of progress is discipline.” -Dr. Connealy The only way people make is a change is through pain. People know they are eating poorly, but they think that they can get away with it. “We are living in a nation of illness today.” -Dr. Connealy [17:05] How Long A Cancer Diagnosis Will Take Cancer starts with just one erroneous cell. The cell will begin to replicate itself. When the cancer cell becomes a tumor, that cell is ten years old. That means you had nine years of opportunity to check to see if you have cancer. With the technology that we have today, we know with a high accuracy rate if people have cancer. It is so much easier to prevent the illness from occurring. It does not necessarily take a symptom to know that you have cancer. Some people feel great and still get cancer. If you have a symptom, get checked by a conventionally trained doctor who knows modern medicine. [22:55] The Survival Rate For Chemotherapy The survival rate for chemotherapy is two percent. This statistic is for the people that don't change any sort of lifestyle. If you change your lifestyle, there will be a different percentage. “It's not a good idea to give bad statistics.” -Dr. Connealy We have to take everything that we know all over the world and collaborate to find the best non-toxic therapies to help every human being. [24:30] Testing To Determine Cancer Risk Connealy doesn't assume that 25-year-olds are healthy. There are too many 25-year-olds with cancer. Check your chemistry panel. 50% of the population has a condition called fatty liver. There's a 50% chance that the liver is elevated. Dr. Connealy is not concerned about cholesterol; it's the least of our problems. Make sure to get a thyroid blood test. If you have low thyroid, then you are at a higher risk for cancer. A hemoglobin A1c is a reflection of your sugar over 90 days. You want your DHEA levels optimal. hCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. This hormone can be a useful marker for women. Don't use one indicator. Look at the big picture. [33:45] Why You Are Vitamin D Deficient   There is so much going on environmentally that we are not absorbing vitamin D. Even people who play beach volleyball in California are vitamin D deficient. There are two supplements that everyone should take: vitamin D and oils. [41:30] About The Relationship Between Cancer and Sugar Cancer cells eat sugar. A PET scan is proof that cancer cells eat sugar. Some cancers eat more sugar, while other cancers eat less. Sugar is a massive problem; it is our enemy. The key to health is not to eat sugar. When you eat sugar, you are feeding potential cancer cells. Cancer cells have many markers. Most patients already know about this relationship between cancer and sugar. However, they usually just copy the traditions that they grew up with. People need to learn to be mindful of their actions. [46:30] The Benefits of a Keto Lifestyle With Fasting Getting off sugar is the most significant benefit of a keto lifestyle. Connealy suggests that people should fast when they are overweight. The least expensive thing you can do is fast. Fasting has been around for thousands of years. After fasting, many patients will see improvements in their tumors. Calorie restriction is the only way to slow down aging. Everything you breathe, eat, and drink will go through your body. Then, your body will rest and regenerate. Any kind of fasting is a good idea. [56:45] The Problems With Emotional Conflict and EMFs The time you are created, the first seven years are critical for emotional development. Emotional trauma is the number one thing that will cause disease. None of us know how to do self-reflection. Going to therapy was the best thing that Dr. Connealy did in her entire life. She is still learning and still practicing how to be an emotionally balanced person. Everyone has something going on in their life. Scientists are forewarning all of our governments about the dangers of EMFs. Every cell in our body can receive and transmit energy. As a result, we are receiving the energy fields from EMFs. EMFs are powerfully infecting our DNA. Unfortunately, there is no escaping it. The best thing you can do is to sleep in an electrical free bedroom. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Amanda Nighbert. She is a registered dietitian specializing in weight loss nutrition, a fitness enthusiast, and a working mom of two.  This is a repeat episode from September 2021.  Amanda is passionate about motivating, supporting, and educating people to meet their wellness goals. She has worked in weight loss for the past 19 years, helping thousands of people reach their wellness goals. Amanda is so excited to have the opportunity to work with even more people via her online programs.  She is an avid reader and feels that the science behind weight loss, diet, and nutrition is constantly changing. This rapid change can create confusion and frustration with the average person trying to be successful at weight loss. Amanda's goal is to bring the latest, cutting-edge strategies and techniques to her clients in the most concise and educational manner.   Amanda is a strong believer that dieting is temporary, something you start and stop. Therefore it is more important to focus on lifestyle changes to see long-term weight loss success truly. Amanda's goal is to teach her clients simple yet effective lifestyle changes they can make and easily sustain to see lasting results. Success does not have to be about perfection but rather more consistency. She believes in implementing strategies that work in the real world, with real people who lead real, hectic, and often crazy lives. First, Amanda speaks about why eating a fat-free diet doesn't work and how following that trend almost landed her on statins. Then, Amanda dives into the number one reason why dieters will always fail. We also talk about why intermittent fasting is excellent for weight loss. Eating before bedtime can be ruining your progress; so, Amanda gives tips on how to curb your late-night eating habits. Tune in as we chat about the importance of metabolic flexibility and why you're not losing weight from the advice of your registered dietician.

She ate low-fat, whole grains, and no eggs.  Her weight was healthy. Yet, her cholesterol was over 300.  The doctor prescribed Amanda statins at the age of 32. Instead, Amanda wanted to try and fix the problem on her own.  So Amanda read the book The Great Cholesterol Myth: Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease-and the Statin-Free Plan That Will. You can find a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Cholesterol-Myth-Disease-Statin-Free/dp/1592335217/benazadi-20 She realized that reducing inflammation would improve her numbers. After six months, she got her numbers under 200.  [07:35] The Number One Reason Why Dieters Fail The number one reason why people fail is the all-or-nothing mindset. We feel like we have to be perfect to make progress.  How to break your all-or-nothing mindset: Practice progress over perfection. Learn the power of resetting immediately. Always do something.  When someone can't do it all, then they choose to do nothing. Instead of trying to do it all, pick one thing to focus on for the week to come.  [14:00] Intermittent Fasting and Why Amanda Loves It For Weight Loss  Breakfast is not actually the most important meal of the day. It took Amanda ten years of being a dietitian to realize that.  There are actual physiological processes in the body that help us thrive in a fasted state.  It's effortless to be an intuitive eater. Time-restricted eating is not a diet. It's not about what you eat. Instead, it's all about when you eat.  Amanda loves intermittent fasting because it's flexible. You don't have to fast every single day.  Lastly, fasting is free, and it doesn't cost you any money!  [18:00] Fasting Before Bed: Tips To Stop Your Late Night Eating Habits  Drink herbal tea in the evening. Non-caloric beverages are also okay to drink before bed. You can also adjust your eating window.  If you prefer to eat more in the evening, then eat less in the morning.  Start with a 12 hour fast, then ease your way into a 16 hour fast.  [20:20] We Eat Way Too Much! Eat Until You're Full and Lose Weight For some reason, people want to graze all day long. The reason you are eating all day long is that you're not eating to fullness.  You can eat 700 calories during one meal and still lose weight.  People are scared of calories, fats, and carbs. At mealtimes, we are significantly undereating, which leads to more snacking.  Sadly, people are eating every hour and a half.  Finding six healthy things to eat throughout the day is impossible. Usually, the first three things you eat are healthy; then, the last three are not. Instead, we need to eat solid meals and stop snacking.  [24:30] Metabolic Inflexibility Is A Key Risk Factor For Covid-19 During Covid, the conversation should be focused on metabolic health. If we had true metabolic health, Covid wouldn't be such an issue. 88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible and unhealthy.  We should get outside and get vitamin D. Also, Americans need quality protein, healthy fats, and to go outside and walk.  Everyone's health has deteriorated significantly. We are now way more prone to any type of disease and virus. [28:00] Why You're Not Losing Weight From Your Registered Dietician  You're not losing weight because you are sitting all day long.  Sitting is the new smoking!  Taking a walk after a meal will result in lower blood sugar. That's the power of activity. When we eat and lay around, our blood sugar response will be much greater.  Another reason you aren't losing weight is that you are focusing on calories instead of macros.  Losing weight is all about blood sugar regulation. Carbs digest rapidly, so they leave you wanting more.  [40:20] Should You Avoid Carbohydrates For The Rest of Your Life?  The only right way to keto is to cycle. It's not healthy to be in ketosis forever. If you're fat-adapted, you will be able to curb your cravings. Plus, you'll be able to eat carbs and still feel fine.  People need to have an understanding of what a good carb level is for them. [44:20] Do You Need Electrolyte Supplementation On A Keto Diet? Electrolytes are your missing link. There's a huge power of sodium, potassium, and magnesium.  Without adequate hydration, you can't metabolize fat. Thirst and hunger are similar signals.  If you don't have enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium, you will feel weak and hangry.    AND MUCH MORE!
