START TRACKING! “It’s not just about Sheila Dean in private practice, but it’s about empowering and educating as many nutrition healthcare professionals as possible to get out there and to do this.” – Dr. Sheila Dean Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy The Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA) is one of the most respected online functional nutrition training and mentoring programs in the industry. It was founded by two of the nation's premier integrative medicine nutritionists, Dr. Dean and Kathie Swift MS. Consisting of 5 tracks with 33 modules, the IFNA program teaches leading-edge, evidence-based, whole systems approaches to patient care.  This emerging medical nutrition model focuses on identifying root causes and imbalances to significantly improve health outcomes and combines the very best of modern science, clinical wisdom, and critical thinking. Click to enroll in IFNA Dr. Sheila Dean Dr. Sheila Dean, DSc, RDN, LDN, IFMCP is a registered and licensed dietitian nutritionist, board certified integrative and functional medicine certified practitioner, clinical nutritionist, and exercise physiologist. She was a Certified Diabetes Educator with the NCDBE for 15 years. She received her undergraduate training through Rutgers University, completed her internship and graduate training with University of Rhode Island and Brown University's teaching hospitals, received doctoral training in nutritional genomics and pharmacology through the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) and completed her Doctorate of Science degree through Hawthorn University.  Dr. Dean has received advanced training in functional medicine and nutritional biochemistry through the Institute for Functional Medicine and is a board certified IFM practitioner. She has also worked with the Duke University Medical Center's Endocrinology and Metabolism Disorders Clinic and the Joslin Center for Diabetes as a certified diabetes educator. She's served as the consulting sports nutritionist for the Philadelphia Phillies, has consulted for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Toronto Blue Jays and was the media spokesperson and columnist for the Ironman Institute and is the author of Nutrition & Endurance: Where Do I Begin? (Meyer & Meyer Publishing). In this episode: (2:13) Dr. Dean discusses her background being a dietician for 30 years. Around 2000, she became disillusioned with the field and was exposed to functional medicine. After her research, she concluded that this was a field she was excited to join. (4:29) Dr. Dean started incorporating her functional medicine knowledge into her practice. The types of patients who went to see her began to expand. (5:26) Dr. Dean and Kathie Swift were constantly being called and texted by people asking for training. IFNA launched in 2015. (6:54) Dave reflects on Dr. Dean's journey and how she created her functional nutrition business. (8:04) Dr. Dean and Kathie felt that dieticians were pretty ignored. They wanted to create a program for dieticians. (9:30) Dr. Dean dives into her functional nutrition program and what people will learn from it. IFNA teaches people a specialized area. There are 33 modules and it takes about a year to finish. There are nine components. Track 1 covers everything from food is medicine, conventional labs, functional blood chemistry interpretation, dietary supplements, the science, and the art. Track 2 gets into all the different systems areas. Track 3 is about the application and building your own private practice. There is a track dedicated to therapeutic elimination diets. The final track, Track 5, is dedicated to case studies. (15:35) Dr. Dean says the ideal scenario for her students is for them to setup an integrative-based practice. IFNA are VA vendors, so they have a contract with the government that pays for the all the programs that their VA dieticians go through. (17:59) Dr. Dean believes that asking questions about root cause analysis is the foundation of trying to understand how to restore health and function. (19:20) Dave narrows in on the issues with the standard American diet and lack of education for children. (21:01) Dr. Dean and Kathie are focused on empowering as many functional nutrition healthcare professionals as possible. Heads Up Health's mission is to give certified professionals the remote ability to measure and analyze how patients are doing. (25:19) Conventional and integrative communities agree that autoimmunity is a condition where the immune system is hyper vigilant and maybe attacking its own tissue. The difference in the communities lies in the way the issue is handled. Once the patient is stabilizied, Dr. Dean thinks the physician should figure out or outsource the patient to somebody who will figure out the underlying issue. (29:39) Dr. Dean cautions practitioners not to replace a drug with a supplement. (31:51) If you take a personalized approach, there isn't one or two panels that you need take. But, a really good overall panel is a nutra eval. It looks at many different biomarkers related to nutritional status. (34:05) STAIN is an acronym used by IFNA. Stress, Toxins, Adverse food reaction, Infection, and Nutritional deficiency. Dr. Dean gives examples for each type.  (37:52) Dave shares how he discovered an infection in his microbiome that showed up in a test once he started working with a functional doctor. (40:06) Medications can cause nutritional deficiencies. Magnesium and CoQ10 can typically be depleted by medications. (43:48) Dr. Dean says it is key for functional nutrition practitioners to track data and stay organized.

By using artificial intelligence with a human element, practitioners can design a functional health protocol that will allow patients to maintain their treatment plans. Fullscript's Dr. Alex Keller and Heads Up Founder Dave Korsunsky discuss how to deliver an entertaining and informative patient healthcare experience. Allowing patients to interact with and understand their data from their remote patient monitoring tools will drive them to stick to treatment plans long-term. Heads Up This podcast is brought to you by Heads Up, a web app designed to help both individuals and health practitioners centrally track the vital health data that matters.

Dr. Alex Keller Dr. Alex Keller is a practicing naturopathic doctor in Ottawa, Canada and the Medical Director at Fullscript. As Medical Director, he oversees the Integrative Medical Advisory team (IMAT) and the development of educational content for practitioners across North America. He is a graduate of the University of Ottawa with an HBSc in Health Sciences and Psychology. Although originally planning to attend conventional medical school, Alex shifted direction and completed a degree in naturopathic medicine at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. The shift followed a three-month internship at a rural Kenyan hospital where he worked with doctors who used local food to successfully treat patients, after which he felt compelled to practice a nutrition-oriented system of medicine. Today, he blends an evidence-based functional approach to care with his experience as an organic farmer and a passion for anthropology to serve as an expert in traditional and integrative medicine.  About Fullscript Fullscript supports practitioners focusing on prevention and the connected, underlying causes of a patient's symptoms. Thousands of integrative and functional health professionals are pushing for a shift to a more proactive perspective on lifestyle, patient care, and all of medicine. These practitioners are on a mission to provide lifelong care that helps people discover and rediscover wellness for the rest of their lives. It's Fullscript's mission to support them — to help people get better. From practitioners to patients, partners, and colleagues, we build frictionless technology and personalized experiences to support those on their wellness journeys, whatever that means to them. In this episode: (1:50) A discussion around how medical professionals can design a functional health protocol for each patient and how you can track that functional health protocol through remote patient monitoring. (6:33) Dave talks about taking the funnel concept of running a company and applying that to a medical protocol. Are patients opening the products? Are they even buying them. (8:59) Providing patients with objective data will help them stick to the recommended treatment plan.  (11:16) How patients who have not fulfilled the treatment plan got tripped up on simple tasks like opening the plan within the email. (12:51) Dr. Alex Keller's team has a human care team to help clients with following the treatment plan. This team helps patients interpret the plan and ensure that patients stick to the functional health protocol. (14:59) Platforms like Heads Up Health that track biofeedback measures like heart rate variability (HRV) help to motivate patients. Patients can become discouraged if they don't notice symptoms improving short-term, but seeing the data of the changes happening within the body assists in making the patient maintain compliance. (16:44) Gamifying the healthcare experience can help facilitate behavioral change.  (18:27) Blood glucose and HRV are great biofeedback markers to look for in patients within the first week of treatment. (21:03) Dave gives a step-by-step analysis of how patients can understand their metabolic markers. Step 1: Give patients an actionable target. Step 2: Design a functional health protocol and set the second stage of the funnel. Step 3: Confirm the person actually opens the email. (22:30) Dr. Alex Keller does not see many integrative practices including a device that can do biofeedback collection (like a continuous glucose monitor). He gives diet, lifestyle, and supplement protocols. He also can tell patients to track blood values, biofeedback, and/or other markers. (24:19) Dave talks about how patients develop awareness by using CGMs and platforms like Heads Up. (28:26) Dr. Alex Keller discusses how the challenge in his field is what kind of standardization there will be. There are so many products that it can be overwhelming for somebody looking to track their biomarkers. Tracking the data with platforms like Heads Up can be used for large data-driven studies. Use Fullscript to initiate that process. (32:49) Developing large data studies can help set treatment plans by aggregating data. The basic standard has been blood tests for the last decade. The next step forward could be much more in-depth. (37:00) Keeping patients engaged in tracking will help them stay on their functional health protocol. It encourages the patient to maintain behavioral change and the practitioner can call the patient if they start to fall off the path. (42:25) Dave discusses how using technology and AI could help scale the remote patient monitoring functional health protocol. AI can also be used to flag patients to their practitioners or lifestyle coaches. (46:23) Dr. Alex Keller believes that AI will never replace humanity, but it can be used to help inform decisions. By including automated reminders in Fullscript, it helps keep patients on their treatment plans. His focus is to arm practitioners with tools to provide better user experiences for patients. (49:21) Dave agrees that you need to combine AI and the human element. He sees positive change is happening with the new CPT codes and the payer system.

START TRACKING! “I've had complete conviction in the fact that root cause medicine is going to become the standard of care.” – Tara Viswanathan Follow Tara: Twitter @TaraViswanathan LinkedIn Tara Viswanathan In this podcast you'll learn: (2:25) How Dave and Tara became interested in health through their careers in technology.  (3:57) How Rupa Health makes functional lab testing easier. The company has over 2,000 different tests that healthcare practitioners can order within minutes. Rupa Health manages the entire patient experience including support with phlebotomy, specialized instructions, and 24-hour customer support. (5:40) Rupa Health supports everybody from solo, independent acupuncturists to small private practices to large hospital systems. Tara breaks down how a practitioner can enroll and ease the burden of ordering patient tests. (7:33) Patients have access to 3-month payment plans through Rupa. (9:13) The benefits of stool testing. Dave jokes about his experience presenting the Bristol Stool Chart at a conference. (10:12) The information you can learn from checking your urine and stool. (11:04) Rupa Health began in January 2020. Within months the company spread to clinics in 47 states. The company is continuously releasing new features. (12:34) Tara believes root cause medicine is going to become the standard of care. Tara wants to enable all practitioners to be able to pursue root cause medicine. Rupa first built a matching service to help pair patients with practitioners. The company then built a clinic, discovered the issues with lab testing, and decided to shut down the clinic and focus solely on lab testing. (14:50) One of the main issues with functional labs is that many of them do not have any web-based APIs (Application Programming Interface) to pull from. These labs and patients are stuck with a bunch of PDF files. Rupa Health has helped to build services around these facilities' current systems. (19:00) Rupa can help doctors process all of their lab tests without having to learn everything step-by-step. (20:10) Root cause medicine can be the future of medicine. Root causes can be microbiome environment, heavy metal toxin exposure, and more. (22:23) Remote patient monitoring is becoming widely accepted and there are now reimbursements from the payer system. Commercial insurance covers most microbiome testing. (24:14) Rupa Health is working on helping educate practitioners through Rupa University. These courses teach practitioners how to understand and interpret lab testing. Heads Up Health has also launched Heads Up University, which aims to serve a similar purpose. (25:49) Dave and Tara are super involved as patients when interacting with their doctors. (26:43) Tara's advice to practitioners is, “It's not easy, but it's worth it.” You can reach out to Tara at tarav@rupahealth.com where she can explain Rupa Health to you in more detail.

And you might think, ‘I want to serve everyone. I want to serve people who need help.' But who’s that one demographic that you want to serve and focus on what that demographic needs.” – Dr. Cheng Ruan In this podcast you'll learn: 2:04 Dr. Cheng Ruan's background and focus on proving that integrative health can be practiced with an insurance model to serve the general public. 2:57 Having a false mindset when starting the Texas Center for Lifestyle Medicine. Why Dr. Cheng Ruan uses emerging technology to reduce the burden of administrative tasks 5:48 How Dr. Cheng Ruan’s family of Eastern and Western medicine practitioners influenced him to bring Eastern medicine to the United States. 7:34 Western medical schools don’t train doctors to help patients get off of their medications. 8:08 The rise of functional, plant-based, and lifestyle medicine around 2017. 9:17 Dr. Cheng Ruan’s entrepreneurial ventures taught him that your audience will give you the answer if you are willing to listen. 12:31 Why health professionals shouldn't be shy when it comes to talking about money. Generating money helps professionals serve their patients better. 14:12 Dr. Cheng Ruan on the importance of delivering value to patients and making your deliverables clear, particularly when it comes to remote monitoring. 15:53 Dr. Cheng Ruan’s issue with some doctors who use remote patient monitoring and why patients need to understand what practitioners are looking for. 16:53 Remote patient monitoring reimbursement code updates and how practitioners can get reimbursed. 18:02 How remote patient monitoring is the business of delivering safety and why the technology you use needs to be efficient. 22:10 A few types of remote monitoring devices. 23:09 The purpose of remote monitoring codes and why integrating all of your data into one place is so important. Practitioners can use continuous monitoring data from their patients to better understand the underlying issues (ex. Studying sleep patterns in relation to mold toxicity). 28:02 Why remote patient monitoring is better than concierge practices. RPM or chronic care management are better because they are predictive recurrent subscriptive revenue. RPM facilities have patients automatically assigned to them through insurance companies. 30:37 Why Dr. Cheng Ruan optimizes processes in his office and the hurdles that he faced while building his practice. Issues typically arose when the technology failed. 32:33 How COVID-19 forced elderly patients to learn how to use technology. 34:15 How some practitioners struggled to adopt technology during COVID, but most of Dr. Cheng Ruan’s patients did not. His most common way of communicating with patients used to be phone calls, but is now text message. And he can make money by answering texts. 36:27 How Dr. Cheng Ruan’s practice became so successful because they were early adopters of technology. They used text messaging, phone calls, 5-minute check-ins and more. 38:29 How Dr. Cheng Ruan’s digital platform allows him to show Medicare that his practice provides value. 39:27 Dr. Cheng Ruan predicts technology adoption rates may be even higher in 2022. The 2021 coding changes were the biggest since 1993.  40:20 Dave talks about a webinar that focused on reengaging the payer system. The recent changes in payment for extra time and reduction in documentation has made it easier for practitioners to work remotely. 41:33 Dr. Cheng Ruan’s advice for practices that are thinking about reengaging the payer system: Who is your avatar? Who is the one person you want to serve? Hyperfocus on that one demographic. What value do you want to bring to the world or that person? Create the actual business plan based on what you're able to do. Build the structure on paper first before you execute. 45:30 Dr. Cheng Ruan learned to focus on one type of patient during his time as a consultant. Practices should do the same and then bring in other patients as they grow. 46:16 Dave and Dr. Cheng Ruan reflect on lessons learned through entrepreneurship. Keep building, continue learning from your mistakes, and pick yourself up when you get knocked down.

Dr. Michael Bazlinton Dr. Michael Bazlinton is a UK based Family Doctor (GP). He completed his GP training in 2006. Dr Michael has been practising as GP for the last 13 years. He saw in the surgery many diabetic patients which was concerning. In 2017 he started the Bodymapping Clinic. The aim of the clinic is to provide a service for individuals who want to apply science and technology to better understand and manage their health.Dr. Michael Bazlinton attended and completed the AFMCP™UK training (Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice) in London in 2018. He now divides his time between being a local GP and working privately in the Bodymapping Clinic.While growing up in Stebbing Essex, with a dentist father and midwife mother, he had an appreciation for real food's impact on health and wellbeing. At university, however, the demands of medical school meant that his food choices were less than optimal. This started to show up in his health.In 2014, his brother gave him a copy of Christopher MacDougall's Born to Run which started him on his journey to health and wellbeing. Not only did he turn his health around he started helping his patients make changes to their nutrition. His GP practice took low carb on board and are now working out ways that they can help more people without burning out.Dr Michael Bazlinton shares how his low carb keto journey has informed his GP practice to actively help patients take control of their own health. He also recognises the limitations of the NHS and standard dietary advice which motivated him to set up a functional medicine private practice. Bodymapping Clinic allows him to support those as a low carb friendly doctor with a desire to holistically regain their health and wellbeing.Dr. Michael's Top TipsMeasure - Adapt - ImproveTime Restricted EatingSleep - get an Oura ringResources MentionedBorn to Run - Christopher McDougallhttps://amzn.to/3qy6mqANatural Born Heroes - Christopher McDougallhttps://amzn.to/3qszSy0Barefoot Running https://www.chrismcdougall.com/about/ Phil Maffetonehttps://philmaffetone.com/ Gary Taubes on YT https://www.amazon.com/Case-Keto-Rethinking-Practice-Low-Carb-ebook/dp/B07XXFHP9S Banting Course from Noakes Foundation http://thenoakesfoundation.org/infographics/nutrition-network-online-course-launches-1-may-2018Fixing Dad https://www.fixingdad.com/Christopher Kellyhttps://nourishbalancethrive.com/ NBT Podcast https://nourishbalancethrive.com/podcasts/Heads Up Health https://headsuphealth.com/

Shawn Bean is a Clinical Nutritionist who has a mind for putting the puzzles pieces of complex cases, like mold and Lyme, together. His unique ability to see the big picture and link symptoms to genetic expression is forward-thinking. Moving away from a specialist mentality to offer more generalist type care, says Shawn Bean, is the way we’ll begin to repair our health. Using specialized tests like the Organic Acids Test, he dives into each one for connections that can't be made with a typical glance of “normal”/”not normal” lab results. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Clinical Nutrition from West Chester University, Shawn Bean continues to further his own education through PubMed articles, genetic studies and more to help clients, practitioners and doctors to put the pieces of these complex puzzles like mold or Lyme exposure together to begin the healing for their bodies.  Together with Michael McEvoy, Shawn Bean runs a mentorship — Metabolic Healing –where they teach other practitioners how to utilize these tools, like the Organic Acids Test, to take their clients and patients toward health and healing. He also sees clients in his private practice at Matrix Health. Shawn believes that AI and self-tracking can open up insights for individuals that would never have been able to access these insights. He also offers support for those who need help understanding what will take them the 60-100% of the way that tracking alone and self-investigation may not be able to take you. Listen in iTunes!

[maxbutton id=”5″ url=”https://headsuphealth.com/” ] In this podcast you'll learn: About Shawn Bean’s role models: Arnold Schwartzenegger and Frank Zane. How he learned to change his body from a pretty in-shape guy to a pre-contest guy in 16 weeks, doing it with a healthy mindset [4:10]That Shawn Bean's health journey really began after his last bodybuilding show. After years of exposure to mold, it was a gradual decline. He found himself with an out-of-sync circadian rhythm which led to weight gain [6:07]How he used to train in a basement that would flood with water in the 1980s where he was initially exposed to mold. Later, exposed to black mold, everything went down from there [8:02] How he lost 100 lbs lean muscle tissue in 9 months and got depressed. Then after a GI test, discovered he had infections in his gut. This led to hormone replacement therapy, including testosterone and thyroid hormones [9:00]After looking online for answers, he found himself in PubMed articles where he realized he could put patterns together fast [10:20]What looked to be a curse turned into a blessing. Diagnosed around age 40 with Aspergers, Shawn has been able to bring his body back to a better balance through genetic support and other supports [12:50]“There are too many specialists out there and not enough generalists.” [15:15]How Shawn Bean doesn't ask his clients to fill out questionnaires. He knows it's hard to fill out paperwork when you’re chronically ill. Instead, he asks them to use a timeline and describe what they think is wrong with them [17:02]He breaks health issues down into three pillars: environmental, emotional and pathogens [18:00]What trans-generational issues encompass and how they can show up in children and their parents based on family experiences including autism [18:40]Why focusing on the parent’s preconception risks will reduce genetic expression in future generations by addressing nutrient deficiencies, emotional traumas, and toxicities, gene expression, etc. [20:04]The Organic Acids Test (OAT) has markers that can help tell if you have stored or active mold in your system through a marker for cell permeability off of the phosphatidylcholine pathway. If you're heterozygous or homozygous for MTHFD1 or PEMT the cell will lock up and go into a danger response and will hold onto that material and not let it go. You store toxins in the tissues, as the body is trying to protect you from the damage [21:15]Trans-generational stress can go back 16 generations according to some studies. For example, if Shawn tracks a person's heritage back and finds that they're Native American they are going to have a higher rate of PTSD, as well as descendants of Holocaust survivors [22:30]How quantum healing allows one person to do the spiritual/emotional/energetic work and affect multiple generations positively [24:05]Shawn and Dave discuss Ayahuasca, mushrooms and other plant-based modalities to help heal trans-generational traumas [24:45]Shawn utilizes the Organic Acid Test by Great Plains, DUTCH Complete hormone test, and general bloodwork to narrow down if clients are dealing with pathogens, toxins, gut dysbiosis, fungal, mold, yeast, candida, h. pylori, etc. The Organic Acid Test helps to show genetic expression, rather than to test genes specifically which he finds most useful over standard genetic testing like 23 and Me [28:02]The problem with functional medicine is that it’s still not looking at the whole big picture, but focusing instead on a specialty. “Mast cell activation is becoming the new MTHFR” [32:15]“The issue I'm seeing with these complex cases is that they fall into what is called protocols or Standards of Care.” Hear more about why these are important, but also how they are also limiting in the complex cases [34:25]AI is phenomenal but there has to be human interaction to take you the last 60-100% [36:50]How Shawn can find Lyme with a probability of 70%, for less than $16 [40:42]How Michael McEvoy and Shawn Bean run a mentoring group for practitioners where they teach these concepts [46:10]The testosterone-estrogen ratios and how they have affected Shawn Bean for years and how he works to support it, and why the sub-ratio patterns matter [48:50]One of the first things you can do is to look at your water source. Are you drinking good water? Visit www.scorecard.org to find out more about your water supply and what toxins are in it [54:00]Having a gene doesn't necessarily set you on a certain fate like mold toxicity or Lyme disease, but looking at the gene expression and the presenting symptoms is where you heal [54:30]Why Facebook groups for chronic illness can either be a blessing or a curse [57:00]“The more we move away from nature, the sicker we become.” [58:30]Those with NAT gene expression are more EMF sensitive as it fuels the adrenal pathway [58:50] References Metabolic Healing Institute – Metabolic Healing Practitioner Mentoring  matrixhealthwell@gmail.com www.scorecard.org Our Partners: Learn more about LEVL, a clinical-grade ketone breath meter, which measures your level of fat-burning and ketosis through a simple breath.

Having grown up an athlete, Thomas DeLauer quickly found that without the intense exercise, his then-current way of eating lead him to gain 100 pounds. Deciding that he wanted a different life, he was introduced to the keto diet though forward-thinking physicians and decided to try it for himself.   He lost the weight, got super fit using bodybuilding and the keto diet, and has even been featured on the covers of several health and wellness magazines! Not only that, he started a whole new business helping other people to reduce their inflammation, lose weight and reclaim their health.  Thomas DeLauer describes keto as a “gateway drug” to other fitness and wellness tracking and biohacking strategies, such as intermittent fasting, tracking HRV, heart rate, sleep, temperature and more.

Or, read on for more information about our latest podcast episode! [maxbutton id=”5″ url=”https://headsuphealth.com/” ] In this podcast you'll learn: About Thomas DeLauer and what brought him to where he is now – from teen athlete to 100 lbs overweight and back down again to transform into a bodybuilding keto influencer, fitness model, and nutrition and business performance coach [2:55]As a physician recruiter right out of school, Thomas developed a lot of physician relationships with concierge docs who were really progressive thinking. In fact, this is where he first learned of the keto diet [3:50]Merging his business background with his experience as an athlete and a drive for self-transformation led him to create his current business [6:50]As an analytical thinker looking for something different, he discovered how much keto appeals to that because it's more black and white and easier to control than overly simplistic “calories in calories out” approaches [9:15]He views keto as a gateway drug to the Oura ring and sleep tracking, HRV, nutrition genome data, mouth taping, etc. to improving health and becoming a biohacker [12:10]That for blood sugar support, keto can give you an opportunity and sense of hope of how to control what you're doing regarding weight loss, etc [13:00]How Thomas DeLauer tracks HRV with Oura and Whoop to see the big picture as another piece for overtraining or being under-recovered. Rather than believing overtraining to be the problem, he puts more emphasis on proper recovery as the key to improving health and fitness [14:45]That heart rate variability takes it all into consideration, and assesses where you're at now, and whether your under-recovered or not. It takes all the data and computes it, and it takes all the hard black and white part of trying to compute it in your head out of the equation of wondering if you worked out too hard today or didn't recover enough. Thomas describes how HRV and proper recovery can support you in your training, and also how not being recovered can feel and affect you [17:00]How alcohol and late meals can trash your HRV [18:20]“Bodybuilders are pushing their bodies to the limits and they need to have these periods of taxation, but then follow it up with enough recovery time but bodybuilding culture teaches us that we need to be constantly pushing ourselves.  If we were tracking the data on it we would probably be having very poor HRV all the time. They think it's the training that's taking the weight off of them, but it's the diet and the recovery time that ‘s taking the weight off of them. A bodybuilding cutting cycle could be cut in 3-4 weeks if you apply these principles” (of keto diet and recovery) [21:03]“Only a small percentage of the bodybuilding community is tracking, but their outcome could be much different if tracking became more popular in this area.  Bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbu, Frank Zane was much more in tune with their bodies and there was much more respect for the body, whereas today we are much more disconnected. We are out of touch, and it's so difficult to get in touch with your body…it's a meditative thing” [21:50]Thomas talks about how out of touch we are with our bodies and how we can use the technology, which is ironically keeping us from being in touch with our bodies to our advantage. Using it, we can  get biofeedback on how we are recovering from our exercise routine and what our food is doing to our bodies [23:05]Direct to consumer testing allows individuals to learn more about their own bodies.  Keto tends to open the door, and then intermittent fasting usually follows as it's a natural step that easily flows from burning fat for fuel.  Following that usually is mitochondrial support like cryotherapy, HRV, photobiomodulation, redlight therapy, sun exposure, cold therapies, high sympathetic nervous system exposure in a controlled way [25:35]How safe sun exposure has benefits and yet wearing sunscreen all the time blocks the benefits of vitamin D from the sun.  Covering up and limiting time in the sun is a more effective way to manage sun exposure safely than chemical sunscreens for average sun exposure [28:34] Why cryotherapy is great, but getting in cold water regularly can be really effective without the high cost of cryotherapy, and why regular exposure is better [32:15]Breathwork and how it can be incorporated into meditation to master the mind-body connection [35:04]Working with breath for performance, using breathing through your nose. Using box breathing, as a way to get out of the sympathetic response before doing a cold shower, and utilizing the breathing during a cold shower can really affect the changes in the autonomic nervous system [39:18]Practicing belly breathing helps to reduce hiccoughs by strengthening the diaphragm [41:24]Learn about the top metrics that Thomas DeLauer currently tracks [47:30] References Thomas DeLauer YouTube Channel Thomas DeLauer website Purathrive.com PuraTHRIVE Curcumin Gold PuraTHRIVE Turmeric Extract PuraTHRIVE Keto Balance Whoop Oura Ring Dry Farm Wines The Oxygen Advantage Our Partners: Learn more about LEVL, a clinical-grade ketone breath meter, which measures your level of fat-burning and ketosis through a simple breath.

After losing 80 pounds in two years, Sameer Sontakey of Biostrap refound health and sparked his interest in bringing a product to the market that allows the everyday user as well as sports athletes to track their rest and recovery metrics allowing them to biohack their way to better health. With a Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Sameer Sontakey combined over a decade of experience in the software engineering industry with an interest in health and fitness to develop Biostrap from the ground up. Biostrap has reinvented data health tracking for the everyday user by creating an affordable, easy to use device that offers tracking of heart rate variability, sleep, heart rate, respiration rate, activity, steps, calories burned, SPO2, and pulse oximetry, and personalized insights. “Respiratory rate is a really interesting metric that we should be paying more attention to more often. The lower the better —somewhere around 12 when sleeping. People with above 20 often have heart conditions.”Sameer Sontakey Using infrared technology to track rather than greenlight technology, it allows a deeper analysis than most products on the market. Rather than focusing on how hard you've been going, Biostrap changes the focus to how well you rest and recover so you can keep improving your health. Listen in iTunes!

[maxbutton id=”5″ url=”https://headsuphealth.com/” ] In this podcast you'll learn: About how the product was built from the ground up starting with how to move the data from the device to the servers and then built the tracking device. The secret sauce is the software that they own and created [3:07]That the wrist-worn tracking device is similar to other wrist-worn devices, but it collects more data than other devices [4:20]That Sameer Sontakey wanted to give everyone the same feeling of success he had through tracking to keep motivated [8:55]How these tools have existed for a long time, but they are now being brought to healthcare to help you take charge of your health [10:40]Exciting News! Heads Up are integrating Biostrap into the Heads Up API integration [11:05]About the device and the types of sensors used. The clinical grade pulse oximeter uses a different wave-length IR spectrum which penetrates the skin a bit deeper in the arteries and provides more biometric data. Greenlight gets absorbed by your body but doesn't penetrate deep enough to give the same data. Biostrap monitors the body when it's at rest, which they believe says more about your body that it does when you’re active. This shows how your body is going to perform under stress [12:30]Biostrap provides baselining, taking a 5-day baseline to figure out where your normals are and then they monitor Sp02, HRV, resting HR and respiratory rate [14:30] “Respiratory rate is a really interesting metric that we should be paying more attention to more often. The lower the better, somewhere around 12 when sleeping. People with above 20 often have heart conditions.” — Sameer Sontakey [15:00]How tracking your heart rate and respiratory rate through your sleep cycle can provide more data to your doctor or cardiologist that may be more useful than some blood tests that are standard. This could mean the difference between getting a diagnosis and missing one that could be critical [16:05]How IR wavelength is different than green which is what is used in most commercial off the shelf devices. The photosensor captures what is reflected through IR but not with green, so we can get actual arterial information. [17:15]Why other companies don't use IR in their sensors.

This week Jimmy and John are joined by Christine Moore, NTP as Dr. Limansky takes over the interviewer position as he talks with Jimmy and Christine about their new book Real Food Keto in Episode 37. Listen in today as Dr. Limansky asks Christine and Jimmy about Real Food Keto came to be, Christine's powerful story of her own health struggles and how nutritional therapy has helped her, why this is such an invaluable resource for the keto community, why nutritional therapy is the ultimate KetoHack, what they uncovered about nutrition that most people overlook, the importance of gut health, healthy fats, the importance of testing and tracking, and much more. Everyone is talking about ketogenic diets now, and for good reason—a low-carb, high-fat nutritional approach is a highly effective way to lower blood sugar and insulin levels, reduce inflammation, increase energy, stabilize mood, and so much more. But far too many people are trying to go keto without shifting the focus of their diet to real, whole foods. That's what Real Food Keto attempts to educate readers about, explaining the reasons why whole foods are a critical element in optimizing your pursuit of nutritional ketosis. Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Christine Moore has teamed up with her husband, health podcaster and international bestselling ketogenic book author Jimmy Moore (Keto Clarity, The Ketogenic Cookbook, and The Keto Cure), to help you apply the principles of nutritional therapy to a healthy low-carb lifestyle. Most people think that going on a ketogenic diet will fix all their health and weight woes, but this book explains that sometimes it takes a little fine-tuning in your diet and supplementation to get the desired results. Real Food Keto provides detailed information about a variety of topics that are rarely discussed in ketogenic circles, including Digestion Blood sugar regulation Detoxification Endocrine function Vitamin and mineral deficiencies Hydration Stomach acid The importance of eating real food …and a whole lot more! Real Food Keto also shares information about specific foods that provide the proper vitamins and minerals, resources on where to find quality foods, and a connection to Nutritional Therapy Practitioners who can help you with your ketogenic diet. An incredible collection of amazing keto recipes from international bestselling cookbook author Maria Emmerich rounds out this low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic approach to healing yourself from the inside out.
