Welcome to the Keto Kamp Podcast. Today we have with us Narado Zeco Powell who is going to join us on our conversation about metabolism flexibility, fasting, high blood pressure, and digestion.  In this podcast, Powell shares with us his incredibly inspiring story, taking us through his early childhood and what marked the onset of his journey towards a health-conscious life.  He grew up in Jamaica and was raised by his grandparents. Like any other kid, he loved candies, junk, and everything sweet. Unfortunately, though, he developed eczema, high blood pressure, and asthma in his early twenties. Weight issues were also a continuous struggle that led to the deterioration of his health but one day Powell decided to start fresh, to fight everything that was holding him back and that is when he started his fitness journey, experimenting with working out, lifting weights and eating healthy! 4 Secrets to Mastering Keto Masterclass.

Breathing becomes a lot easier and effort free. It removed his asthma and eczema problems for years. You also start feeling better. Even without the medications, he is perfectly healthy as his body healed itself. Eliminate things from your diet as this would reduce excess harmful elements from your body. [15:53] Sleep, seed oil, processed foods, and fasting If you sleep properly and at the proper time, you will not just feel better but will also age slower. Replace seed oil with olive oil, butter, or avocado oil. Pro tip: if you go to a restaurant just tell the waiter you and everyone on the table are allergic to seed oil. Processed foods are not what you should be putting in your body. You must remove processed foods from your diet and eat real clean whole food. Fasting is amazing- your sleep hours even count. Healing the gut, bouncing your sugar levels, fat oxidation, and training your body are all achieved by fasting.  Fasting if done right can be a very powerful tool. You give your digestive system a break. [23:15] A twenty-four hours once a week, and why does he do it? The dinner-to-dinner fast helped to increase the time of his fast oxidation. Lengthening the fast and doing a full day fast helps make him feel like superman. Tap into the knowledge of our ancestors and include the new research; studies aren't supposed to overwhelm you. You must incorporate how something makes you feel; if you feel energized with something do it. Start your fasts small and then build up. [30:40] How to overcome a standstill in weight; when you can't seem to lose more weight It depends on what you have been doing to lose weight; was it keto, vegetarian diet, intermittent fasting, and so on? It also depends on the period you have been doing what you have been for losing that weight. Your body gets efficient at breaking down fat and you reach a plateau after a certain time; you need to cycle the carbs back in. This way your body becomes better at breaking fats back again. Easier to switch back to carbs and take in the enzymes. This switching back and forth is an easier way to go about it; you need to create diversity in the gut. Our ancestors would have a diverse line of foods that they consumed. [39:50] Bio-individuality and the elimination method People should remove vegetables but only for some time and they should be added back in gradually. You don't know what is affecting you until you eliminate the suspects; you don't know what anti-nutrients are responding to you. A carnivore diet for a while can help improve your gut. After this has happened which can be between one to three months you start adding plant foods to your diet slowly. This way you get to realize what is affecting you through your gut-healing journey. It Helps identify allergies. But first, you must go on a gradual approach to searching for yourself. [44:00] The glucose monitor (CGM) and the Oura ring Your glucose monitor can pick up the signs and aware you. Oura ring is a tool; HRV drops with eating more plant toxins and vice versa means that a carnivore diet suits you the best. Ray's blood sugar pattern picks up when he wakes up. It drops during his fasting period but picks up gradually. This is because his body is optimal. This is because of having more muscles too. If your body is optimized, your blood sugar does not go up drastically. Teach people to be optimal and be the healthier version of themselves. AND MUCH MORE!

On this week's episode of The Tech Leader's podcast, Gareth is joined by Adrian Condon, the CTO of B-Secur, a company that creates cutting-edge, heart health technology that is used in some of our favourite tech wearables. In this episode, the topic of discussion centres around how technology can be used to understand the human body, exemplified by the life-saving heart rate variability monitors that Condon himself has helped create.  In understanding our connection to machinery, we also find out how our stress levels mirror that of a car in first gear, and how to avoid a subsequent tech-induced burnout. However, at a time where there is frequent talk about ‘cyborgs' replacing the organic human body, Adrian Condon discusses how technology should be used as a way of ‘aiding humans, not replacing them'. 02:16 – What does good leadership mean to Adrian?04:00 – What did Adrian want to be when he grew up?05:14 – Where B-Secur started08:20 – Information we can receive from ECG signals 10:20 – Where this technology is going in terms of clinical usage 11:30 – What does HRV (heart rate variability) mean?15:00 - Stress in relation to cardiovascular disease16:33 - Next wave of heart problems and “Athletes Heart”21:30 – Lifestyle impact of these wearable technologies23:40 – Is implantable technology the future?26:10 – Sports performance and how this technology assists athletes.29:40 – Alcohol, drinking and seeing the changes in HRV32:00 – What is Adrian most excited about in the world in terms of technology innovation?36:00 – How does Adrian stay healthy working in this field? 40:00 – Adrian's productivity advice41:00 – If Adrian could have a coffee with anyone in the world, who would it be?41:54 – What advice would you give to your 21-year-old self?43:10 - Encouraging start-ups and teaching schools about tech and money

Det er ikke lenge siden vi hadde lege Torkil Færø som gjest her på podcasten der vi snakket om HRV - altså hjerte rate variabilitet som er en pulsvariasjon og henger sammen med vårt sentralnervesystem. Vi måler HRV i millisekunder og benytter en Oura ring, et Whoop band eller en smartklokke som Garmin. I ukens episode fortsetter vi med temaet HRV, for en ting er å lære hva det er, men en enda viktigere faktor er hva man skal og kan gjøre med disse tallene? Det er ikke noen vits i å måle og lese tall om vi ikke kan gjøre noe for å forbedre HRV´en vår. I dag deler vi 10 konkrete hacks som du kan ta fatt på for å øke din HRV. Hør gjennom og sjekk om du finner noe nytt du kan jobbe med:-) Vi deler hva vi har testet, hva vi ser best resultater av og hva som kanskje ikke har funket så godt. Her er det mange ting å teste, husk å prøve en ting av gangen. Følg også med på Torkil Færø som snart kommer med kanskje verdens første bok om HRV!!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Ronesh Sinha. He is the author of The South Asian Health Solution and is an internal medicine physician and expert on insulin resistance and corporate wellness.  His groundbreaking work in reversing diabetes and insulin resistance in diverse populations has been featured on the front cover of Fortune magazine and the LA times. He is a top-rated speaker for companies like Google, Oracle, Cisco, and more (read testimonials). He serves as Chief Medical Officer for Silicon Valley Employer Forum where he helps shape global health benefits for more than 55 major tech companies.  In this episode, Dr. Ronesh Sinha discusses why the standard cholesterol risk calculator doesn't tell you everything you need to know. Instead, you should ask for advanced lipid testing; Dr. Sinha explains the importance of having this advanced lipid profile, and he touches on the nuances of cholesterol. Then, Dr. Sinha dives into emotional metabolism and describes how stress can be worse for your glucose levels than chocolate cake. Tune in as we chat about heart rate variability, the relationship between intermittent fasting and strength training, and how to sneak more protein into your diet.  4 Secrets to Mastering Keto Masterclass.

Luckily, there are modified calculators that individuals use worldwide, and some incorporate triglycerides.  Risk calculators need to integrate insulin resistance.  The standard guidelines and tools we use in America have a long way to go.  [12:50] The Reason You Should Ask For Advanced Lipid Testing  Lipoprotein is a boat that carries cholesterol. There are two different boats: Type A and Type B.  Type B is the bad boat.  An abundance of smaller particles causes more damage.  When looking at a standard profile, you're not going to get the clarity to know how many Type A vs. Type B you have.  You can only know how many Type A vs. Type B you have by getting an advanced lipid profile. [20:45] Emotional Metabolism: Stress Is Worse Than Chocolate Cake   What is the emotional impact of your behaviors and thoughts on glucose control? Everyone knows that stress is not good for you. However, you can track your emotional status and measure glucose against it.  Even if you have zero grams of carbs, stress can increase your glucose levels. Early signs of stress will flood the liver with glucose.  It's time to do meaningful things to mitigate your stress levels.   [24:45] Using Gratitude and Mindful Breathing Throughout A Stressful Day  How do you use gratitude on the spot after a stressful event? Many people practice gratitude and journaling in the morning.  However, your mind can go into utter chaos when you deal with things throughout the day. Moments of gratitude throughout the day will be essential. Also, be mindful of your breathing patterns during the day.  Mindful breathing will vastly improve your blood pressure and blood glucose.  [30:10] The Relationship Between Heart Rate Variability To Parasympathetic Effect  Heart rate variability is our most readily accessible metric for parasympathetic activity.  Variety is the spice of life; you also want variety in your heartbeat.  When you have variation, it's a sign that your parasympathetic system is more active.  Remind yourself to practice mindfulness throughout the day to improve your parasympathetic system.  [38:10] When Intermittent Fasting, You Need To Practice Strength Training  Fasting is therapeutic; if it is misused, it can have adverse side effects.  Identify the timing of your fast that works for you. Make sure you're getting adequate protein during your eating window.  Most people that are fasting are doing minimal amounts of exercise. Unfortunately, when you aren't exercising, you may be losing muscle.  If you're not in a strength training program and aren't getting enough protein, you shouldn't be fasting.  [42:30] Eating Protein Early In The Day To Improve Glucose and Overall Mood  Just to keep it simple, you need about a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight.  Distribute protein throughout the day.  Also, make sure to activate mTOR toward that first meal.  With proper protein intake, your glucose levels will be much more stable.  Eat more protein with your first meal and see how you feel.  [48:20] Three Things To Consider Regarding Your Health: Carbs, Cooking Oils, and Circadian Rhythm  The 3 C's: Carbs Cooking Oils Circadian Rhythm If you're a sedentary person, it's best to watch your carb intake. The food industry has caught on to low-carb eating. However, they are using terrible oils that are highly inflammatory. Be sure you are not consuming foods using the wrong types of oils.  Lastly, meal timing and bed timing can have a powerful impact on glucose control.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Ron's Website: https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/ The Meta Health Podcast: https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/podcast/ Follow Dr. Ron Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SouthAsianSolution YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCecKfsl3Qo-hCrOb-96ueTQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roneshsinhamd/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roneshsinha/ Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ 4 Secrets to Mastering Keto Masterclass.

Dr Joe's passion can be found at the intersection of the latest findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He uses that knowledge to teach people how to heal their bodies of health conditions, make significant changes in their lives, and evolve their consciousness. Since 2010, he has partnered with scientists and universities to perform extensive research on the effects that meditation has on the brain and body. During his advanced retreats around the world, his team has gathered more than 18,000 brain scans (quantitative QEEG) and 10,000 heart-rate variability measurements (HRV) in an attempt to correlate the effects that sustained elevated emotions and self-regulation have on heart and brain function, immune response, and overall mind-body health. He and his team have also studied gene expression, protein regulation, immune response, neurotransmitter changes, telomere length, and variations in bioactive cellular metabolic particles in both novice and advanced meditators. As a New York Times best-selling author, researcher, lecturer, and corporate consultant, Dr Joe's research has led him to develop a practical formula to help people transform their lives.

New 2022 - Does Earthing Really Help People Heal From Different Ailments? Clinton Ober• http://www.UltimateLongevity.com • Book – Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever? #ClintonOber #Grounding #GoundingMovementClinton Ober is the innovator behind the Grounding Movement and author of Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever?This book introduces readers to the landmark discovery that living in contact with the Earth's natural surface charge - being grounded - naturally discharges and prevents chronic inflammation in the body. This effect has massive health implications because of the well-established link between chronic inflammation and all chronic diseases, including the diseases of aging and the aging process itself.Clinton, First learned about grounding when installing Cable TV systems in Billings, Montana in the early 1960s. A decade later, he formed Telecrafter Corporation that specialized in proper grounding of cable installations for safety and TV signal stability.In the 1980s, he turned his attention to the developing computer industry and partnered with McGraw-Hill to distribute live digital news services. This Led to the development cable modems with the proper system grounding.From his years expertise in the grounding of hardware technology, he developed the working hypothesis on how: Grounding the human body to the Earth could normalize the functioning of all of the body's systems.The idea about how the body utilizes the earth's electrical potential and free electrons to maintain its internal electrical stability, normalizing all of its self-regulating and self-healing systems.Over the past twenty years has worked extensively on health benefits of grounding the human body, which have shown impressive improvements in…inflammation, sleep, pain & stiffness, circulation, blood pressure, cortisol, stress, depression, anxiety, tiredness, fatigue, energy, mood, blood glucose, blood viscosity, immunity, thyroid function, metabolism, wound healing, HRV, vagal tone, serum electrolytes, athletic performance & recovery, and more.Grounding has now become a massive international movement — causing people to shed their shoes and reconnect electrically to the surface of the Earth.To Contact Clinton Ober go to UltimateLongevity.com CLICK HERE - To Checkout Our MEMBERSHIP CLUB: http://www.realtruthtalks.com  • Social Media ChannelsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TRTAHConferenceInstagram : https://www.instagram.com/therealtruthabouthealth/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/RTAHealth Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-real-truth-about-health-conference/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealTruthAboutHealth    • Check out our Podcasts  Visit us on Apple Podcast and Itunes search:  The Real Truth About Health Free 17 Day Live Online Conference Podcast Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/23a037be-99dd-4099-b9e0-1cad50774b5a/real-truth-about-health-live-online-conference-podcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0RZbS2BafJIEzHYyThm83J Google:https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS8yM0ZqRWNTMg%3D%3DStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/real-truth-about-health-live-online-conference-podcastAudacy: https://go.audacy.com/partner-podcast-listen-real-truth-about-health-live-online-conference-podcastiHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-real-truth-about-health-li-85932821/ Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/us/show/2867272 Reason: https://reason.fm/podcast/real-truth-about-health-live-online-conference-podcast • Other Video ChannelsYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealTruthAboutHealthVimeo:https://vimeo.com/channels/1733189Rumble:  https://rumble.com/c/c-1111513 Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TRTAHConference/videos/?ref=page_internal DailyMotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/TheRealTruthAboutHealth BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/JQryXTPDOMih/ Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

The history or archaeoacoustics or sound waves, vibration, and low frequencies in the ocean, on land, and especially in a spiritual environment and traditional space such as Stonehenge. Paul Chek | All is God   [18:30] How to Build Resilience + Anti-Fragility Their focus on integrative medicine at Sensate and how they've embedded that in their mission. Why, as a collective, our stress levels are at an all-time high, and the impact of being overstimulated every day by too much information coming in and the nature of the content. The power of building resiliency and anti-fragility for greater balance. Consequences we are seeing in real-time due to the way that mankind has mistreated Mother Nature. The impact of technology on humans; especially for our youngest generations. Dangers of getting too used to the quick dopamine hits from short pieces of content like on TikTok.

Comparing the deleterious effects of alcohol, drugs, and porn that gives someone with an addiction a sense of relief and distraction vs spending the same amount of money on a device that also gives them that plus heals their body + mind like Sensate. Stefan's personal mission to positively impact the lives of 100 million people by 2025.

The research and development in clinics with patients that Sensate went through with their product before presenting it to the public. Their goal to have a measurable HRV impact on the user by the 20-minute mark but it actually was 10 minutes in their research. Why they decided not to have Sensate be a medical device but a direct-to-consumer product in order to be able to help more people as quickly as possible. The fact that subjective wellbeing does exist from user to user, what it is, and why Stefan thinks that's extremely important. How you can do a subjective wellbeing test on yourself each day as an opportunity to tune in with how your body + mind are feeling. Why HRV is more complex than we could ever imagine.   [51:30] Clean Stress vs Dirty Stress Why vagal nerve tone is an extremely beneficial metric to better understand someone's health.

Stefan's last pieces of advice for living life well including leading a purpose-based life. Why we should aim for contentness, not for happiness.   Power Quotes From The Show The Social Media Experiment on our Youngest Generations "The people who design social media and games, they know what they're doing. This is a huge experiment and we are witnessing the first generation of human beings ever who we are doing this with. We have no idea really what the long-term implications are. This is why I talk about the importance of antifragility. One of the most heartbreaking things that I think is going on in the world is the epidemic of anxiety in younger people. I think it's a very difficult world to grow up in and the pandemic highlighted that even more because meaningful connection has been harder and harder to build with the rise of technology." - Stefan Chmelik   Benefits of Becoming Antifragile "Many people know about resilience and its benefits if it's done in a non-macho way, but the majority don't know about how to become antifragile. It's not about survival or how much pain or discomfort you can tolerate. Antifragility, which is a biological mechanism, is the idea that you get stronger as a result of challenge."  - Stefan Chmelik Experiencing the Healing Power of Nature at Home "Most people still live in cities so how do you expose people to the healing benefits of nature? These people who live in apartments might not have a park nearby to go to let alone a countryside to go out into. There's so much research out there now especially from Japan about the benefits of forest bathing or shinrin-yoku; it is literally one of the strongest medicines. To go and spend time in nature; amongst plants and trees is one of the most balancing and healing things that you can do... ...I certainly recommend that people do it every week, even every day if they can. At Sensate, we're helping hold people by the hand and taking them down that path by including nature noises in the tracks; sometimes subliminal and sometimes obvious. The human vagus nerve is 400-500 million years old whereas our human brain is only about 1 million years old. So, our body and our autonomic nervous system respond to these cues of noise and sound in a profound way that we don't even know or can't interpret with our human brain."  - Stefan Chmelik Links From Today's Show  Stefan Chmelik Get Sensate - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" at checkout Anna Gudmundson CEO & Co-founder at Sensate Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature's Wisdom Paul Chek | All is God Solocast | Vision Quest Part 1: Honoring Our Ancestors Solocast | Vision Quest Part 2: Touching Death 482 Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines?  Teemu Arina Tim Gray King Charles loses his temper at leaking pen: 'Every stinking time' Billionaire No More: Patagonia Founder Gives Away the Company Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' PLUNGE - Save $150 with the code "WELLNESSFORCE' MitoZen - Save 10% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Activation Products - Save 20% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Sensate Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter About Stefan Chmelik Immersed in meditation teaching and natural medicine since birth, Stefan Chmelik started his journey into meditation before the age of 10.

Which wearable is better, the Whoop or the Oura? Frank and Ben have been wearing both for month and tracking the daily data. On this podcast, they share their insights on each. Plus, they dig into two academic studies that investigated wearables for their accuracy in measuring sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability, and more. Don't have time to listen right now? Here's the summary: both Whoop and Oura are excellent for tracking HR, HRV, and total sleep time, but aren't yet accurate for tracking stages of sleep.     

Join Dr. Jeffrey Gladden as he chats with Dr. Jay Wiles, an international speaker, scientist, clinician, influencer, and subject-matter expert and authority on the interconnection between the human stress response and health performance/optimization. Dr. Wiles is a clinical health and performance psychologist with board certification in heart rate variability biofeedback and peripheral biofeedback and works as a leading consultant in psychophysiology to health influencers, professional athletes and teams, executives, and high performers. He is the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Hanu Health. In this episode, they talk about stress, measuring HRV, biofeedback, resonance breathing, and HRV Biofeedback. Are all breathwork practices created equally? Do you know the importance of increasing self-awareness and self-regulation? Listen to hear more.  Listen to this episode to learn about making a hundred, the new thirty, and living beyond 120!   Dr. Gladden introduces the importance of mitigating stress. (1:00)  Jay retells how he got into what he presently does. (1:17)  Dr. Gladden mentions that Jay is a clinical psychologist focused on optimal brain function. (3:33)  Jay mentions how individuals want some objective level of measurement. (5:10)  Jay explains how he helps players get into a flow state and helps them understand what their biology is and what is going on within their biology under different stress conditions. (7:00)  Jay clarifies how respiratory rate can go way down in stressful situations. (9:20)  Dr. Gladden asks about how Hanu is worn. (10:58)  Jay talks about how there are normative measurements for heart rate variability. (13:18)  Jay elaborates on how they are trying to integrate biofeedback and breathwork practice. (15:40)  Dr. Gladden adds how touch is vital in soothing the nervous system. (17:13)  Dr. Gladden questions Jay about the specific kind of feedback he is talking about, and Jay states the specific biofeedback that they're using.

Sleep and HRV trackers are becoming more popular, and the best ones have a smart dashboard that provides lots of information on your sleep performance, and HRV trends. They also have algorithms that assess all of the data and give a daily recovery score. I started using the Whoop tracker in 2017 and I have to confess that there have been times when I have been over focussed on the data to the point where I actually worried whether I was going to have a good night's sleep. Note: This is actually a diagnosable condition known as orthosomnia - obsessing over the perfect night's sleep. Over time I came to realise that the real value in devices like this is from the long-term trends and the behavioural changes which result. Today's guest is Garron Mosley, an elite age group triathlete. Garron qualified to race at the recent Ironman World Championships in Hawaii and as you'll hear the trip didn't go quite according to plan. More interesting to me was the fact that Garron had started wearing a Whoop band and has made some pretty significant changes to his life with amazing results as a result of analysing the data. We talk about a lot but some topics you might be interested in include: Qualifying for Kona His scary bike crash which resulted in a DNS at The Ironman World Championships How Garron manages a high volume of training each week, all while running a growing business and being a good family man Behavioural changes from wearing the Whoop How better sleep leads to better decision-making at work Why reducing or eliminating alcohol will lead to better sleep Caffeine and sleep. It's not good - don't be fooled if you can drink coffee in the evening and fall asleep easily If you're interested in finding out more about Garron, he hangs out at these social media places: Facebook - @garronmosley Instagram - @garronmosley LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/garron-mosley-0143349    To find out more about Whoop, please go here Whoop.com If you're interested in signing up for a Whoop subscription click on the link and it will give you a FREE 30 days at the start of your subscription.   Garron recommended these podcasts:   The Diary of a CEO - Steven Bartlett The Rich Roll Podcast - Rich Roll   Other Cool Stuff Garron recommends nutrition products from Ethic Sport, his go-to race nutrition since 2017.

Heart Rate Variability: Another way to look at measuring heart rate. You might be one of the millions of exercisers that has a measuring device that has an "HRV" reading on your watch display or in your phone app. Have you ever asked, "What is HRV?" or "What am I supposed to do with that info?".  In this episode of “Random Fit,” hosts Wendy Batts and Ken Miller, and their featured guest, gym owner and personal trainer, Josh Elsesser on the ins and outs of Heart Rate Variability. Everyone has a habit or two which may need some upgrading like exercising more, eating "better,” or meditating. However, many times when it comes to taking steps to change not everyone reaches their goals or even comes close. This episode will focus on the different steps that can be taken to change for the better and hopefully shed some light on what can be done to truly move you forward.   The most trusted name in fitness is now expanding into the wellness world. Become an NASM Certified Wellness Coach and you'll be able to guide and motivate clients to make lasting changes through mental and emotional well-being, recovery, and more. https://bit.ly/3D4IXFs

Short Answer: While protein restriction may have value in people with established cancer or kidney disease, cycling robustly between fasting and feeding states is likely to provide all the value that restriction of protein or calories might otherwise provide, and a high protein intake supports bone mass, muscle mass, and the detoxification of carcinogens, all of which are important to longevity.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Tommy: Hi Dr C you incredible human being. I'm a level 2 IHP. For years Iv been battling self diagnosed lupus, my face goes embarrassingly red. Iv been working on this and have it more under control than ever. But since the summer has come, Iv really noticed how bad heat affects it. I thought it was just food such as histamines and sensitivity. I know heat can trigger histamines. Iv run the OAT and I'm high on 3 yeast markers including oxalates. By time this gets read out I should be some way through the CBO protocol, however I have done this before, but I didn't stick to the meal plan. Iv also purchased DAO and Iv tried many supplements including quercitin. I know there still so much more info you would need but do you have anything you can suggest.   Ann: Due to my increased risk of breast cancer Im on a medicine to eliminate estrogen in my body ( I have also had my ovaries removed). The 5 year limit to take the medicine is nearing, so Im wondering what I can do, from your perspective, to reduce estrogen in my body? I know that maintaining a healthy body weight is important but do you have any other thoughts? Thank you so much!   Marina: Hi Dr Cabral, My baseline HRV has dropped from 50-60 to 30-35 ever since i got the covid v :( September last year. I have had severe insomnia for sometime after the v, however this has resolved after couple of months, HRV has never recovered. I have taken rest days, zone 2 training, cold showers, medtation, nothing works. Lab results look good. I am 37, workout 4-5 times a week. No alcohol, don't smoke. Eat clean/organic. What can I do to bring it back up to where it used to be? Appreciate your help.   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast. Thank you for everything that you do. I want to ask if there's a way to remove painful periods? I was born with two uteruses and I have extremely painful periods on the first day and sometimes the second. I'm in pain as if I was being stabbed in my uterus 1000 times. Ever since I got my period when I was 13 years old, I've been taking at least one advil a month to relieve myself of the period pain. And when I turned 23 I started to develop itchy scalp, vaginal itch, and itchy ears. Listening to your podcast helped me discover the OATS and CBO protocol. I've taken CBO twice and the itch has reduced but not completely gone. Vaginal itch is still there a bit as well as the ears and scalp. My OATS came back better after two CBOs but I feel that I'm still not getting better because I still take an advil once a month due to my painful period. I know that my stomach got weaker because i take advil once a month. And i want to figure out how I can get rid of the pain. I recently bought Inflamma Soothe in the hopes to getting a fast acting relief during my painful period. Another thing I want to mention is that I was also born with 1 kidney and I want to ask if its safe to take a lot of supplements? I feel quite lost right now. Thank you in advance.   Stacey: Hello , I'm loving the book and podcasts so much !

Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. I'm Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results. Like you, I'm interested in learning and applying the research, to our everyday life. On this episode we will cover: How can being “mindfully aware in the present moment” benefit us? An overview of the Levels of Consciousness that take us from coma, unaware, to full wakefulness and awareness. How to expand our level of awareness through effective study (using the most current neuroscience research). Break down this complex idea of consciousness, so we can all improve an area on the map, moving us towards full awareness. Use this understanding to better understand ourselves and others. This week's Brain Fact Friday came to me this week while on a training call with Mark Waldman, in his neurocoaching program, that consists of all of the students he has worked with over the years[i] all over the world. Some students have been certified, and share their knowledge with others, like Michael Kirton, an Australian clinical psychologist and author who specializes in child development, mental health issues and trauma, and he often joins the calls to share how he is making an impact in his community with the understanding of mindfulness based coaching, training or therapy. I tune into these calls as I'm always looking for something new to share on the podcast, that we could all use to improve our results. This week, were talking about what it means to be “mindfully aware in the present moment” that Jon Kabat-Zinn coined in his definition of mindfulness to be the “awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally”[ii] which Waldman says is a key secret for experiencing optimal health and wellbeing.  We covered an overview of Brain Network theory on EP #48 and the importance of being able to mindfully shift between our imagination, (DMN) awareness (SN) and thinking (EN) to increase our creativity and results, while reducing stress.  The funny thing I've noticed with writing these episodes, and implementing what I'm writing, I've got to say that when I'm in a high stress situation, the last thing I'm thinking about is being “mindfully aware” in the present moment. But with time, small things like learning to breathe properly while experiencing stress, that we learned from Rohan Dixit, on EP #228[iii] is putting me miles ahead of where I used to be without a mindfulness-based stress reduction strategy. While I wish I had the opportunity to study and learn directly with monks deep in the Himalayas, like Rohan Dixit did before he founded Lief Therapeutics, and invented a wearable device that tracks HRV in real-time to help us to learn how to breathe when we are stressed, interviewing those who've taken the time to do the research, and then sharing this research on the podcast, is my next best option. We've all heard of the research that backs up how important these brief moments of mindfulness can be, whether it's in our everyday life, or even in the classroom, during learning, as Professor Kimberly Shonert-Reichl's research (from The University of British Columbia) shows that these brief moments “promote curiosity, creativity and pro social behavior.”[iv] The key to being mindfully aware is to focus on the present moment, instead of what's happened in the past, or what we think might happen in the future, and learn to breathe, or focus on our breath, which brings our mind into this present moment. While on this training call with Mark Waldman, a new student asked “what about when I'm dreaming” where's my level of awareness here?” and we could go down many rabbit holes for hours, on this topic and while Waldman refocused the new student on this complex question, I glanced at the September issue of National Geographic on my desk,  on “The Brain” that covers “the complex neural networks that make the brain so unique” and Chapter 4 of this series, covers “The Easy Problems of Consciousness” which was obvious from our call, that many of us, including this new student, finds this topic anything BUT easy, as we wonder how our conscious awareness works, what it is, and how an understanding of this awareness can benefit us in some way. Which brings us to this week's Brain Fact Friday. DID YOU KNOW THAT “consciousness is the most astonishing act our big, complex, interconnected brains pull off when working properly and scientists are only just beginning to understand it?”[v] (National Geographic, The Brain). I thought about the new student in our group asking about our awareness level when we are dreaming, and of what we have been covering on this podcast, and it became clear to me that this was a very important question and topic. It didn't take me long to find some research that covered this question with an article called “Are There Levels of Consciousness”[vi] published by Tim Bayne in 2016 that are in line with what I was reading in the most recent National Geographic publication from September 2022. What Are the Different Levels of Consciousness? To bring light to this complex question, (what are the different levels of conscious awareness that our brain experiences) the only way I know how to break it down, is by mapping it out. Drawing something out helps me to see the bigger picture, especially when ideas are complex, or even noted to be “a mystery that some of the greatest minds have been unable to solve.”[vii] This idea of being consciously aware, or thinking in the present moment, is complex, (because consciousness studies are still trying to find answers to the hard problems, like “where does my inner experience come from” (Page 74, National Geographic) but I'm hoping that this visual will give us all a new perspective of the different levels of consciousness we can experience, and provide us all with a frame of reference to “think” about. If you look at the diagram in the show notes, that came from my interpretation of “The Easy Problems of Consciousness” from National Geographic's article on the Brain, you can see how our levels of consciousness can go from low awareness, like when we are in a coma, under general anesthesia, that we have not investigated at all on this podcast. (YET). This is a fascinating area to explore, and I will on a later episode, since I do wonder how on the earth can we stay awake for brain surgery. The next level of consciousness, is that time just before sleep, where we experience drowsiness, called a hypnagogic state of consciousness.[viii] We've covered sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming on the podcast with our interview with Dr. Baland Jalal[ix], bringing us into the next level of consciousness: sleep, that is one of the top 5 health staples we've covered often, beginning with Dr. Shane Creado, from EP #72[x] on “Sleep Strategies That Will Guarantee Us a Competitive Advantage.” We've also quoted English scientist and professor of neuroscience and psychology, Matt Walker and his research from his best selling book, Why We Sleep, on a Brain Fact Friday earlier this year on “Science Based Tricks to Improve Productivity.”[xi]   The final stage of consciousness is full wakefulness or awareness, that Chantel Pratt's book, The Neuroscience of You dives into, as well as this whole idea of Mindful Awareness that we opened this episode with. I think you can see from the topics that we cover on this podcast, that besides understanding our sleep, or messages in our dreams, or health tips to improve our productivity, I'm most interested in ways we can all expand our conscious awareness, and become a better version of ourselves, with an understanding of our brain and how it works. How about you? Have you ever wondered, Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose? These are all deep questions but Jon Kabat-Zinn, the father of mindfulness would say that these questions (like who are you) are “more important than the answer.”[xii] The key here, is that expanding our level of awareness is a crucial component of our work in this thing we call life, so that we can better understand ourselves, and others, and provide the best service we can in our lifetime. It's the message in Chantel Pratt's recent book, The Neuroscience of You: How Every Brain is Different and How to Understand Yours[xiii], where she says that even after writing this book, she's still trying to expand her awareness of who she is. Even my mentor, the late Bob Proctor, would say that “awareness is everything” and he could talk for hours about the importance of our conscious awareness or our ability to sit, think and expand our awareness even a dot, saying that this small shift could change the world—or at least your world to start with. He'd often say that our “results are an expression of our awareness” reminding us to open up the keyhole, and expand our level of awareness when we are stuck, or to keep “thinking” to move us forward. Never stop thinking, learning and expanding. Invest the time to develop YOU, (your awareness) and this could take our entire lifetime. So, the question (“Who am I?”)  is more important than the answer. It requires our conscious thought and thinking is the highest function we are capable of, and it's very difficult. Most people think the same thoughts over and over again, which isn't thinking at all, but like a hamster spinning on a wheel, or playing old movies in our head. How to Expand our Awareness and Break Through to New Levels: Have you ever been stuck and you can't seem to find the answer to your problem? I know we all have. The fastest way to expand our thinking, and find new solutions, is to ask someone who has achieved what you want to do, (because it's easy for them to connect the dots looking backwards) as they can give you thousands of ideas, showing you that there's not just one way to get to where you are going. Thinking new thoughts, opens up our awareness (even if it's just a dot) to new ideas, and possibilities, but how do we do this? How Do We Expand Our Level of Awareness? On Today's episode, I have just one strategy, and that's to expand our awareness through study. If you look at the diagram I drew, look and see where your area of interest is.  You can see where mine is from the episodes we are covering. STUDY: Find the podcasts that you connect with (for those listening, thank you for choosing mine), read books, study people who are winning, and glean whatever you can from what you are learning to expand your conscious awareness. What I love seeing is people who break through what seems to be impossible, or where most people would give up.   For a minute, let's review this week's Brain Fact Friday. On today's episode we covered: How being “mindfully aware in the present moment” can benefit us? An overview of the Levels of Consciousness that take us from coma, unaware, to full wakefulness and awareness. How to expand our level of awareness through effective study (using the most current neuroscience research). Break down this complex idea of consciousness, so we can all improve an area on the map, moving us towards full awareness. Use this understanding to better understand ourselves and others. Reminder—for this week's brain fact Friday DID YOU KNOW THAT “consciousness is the most astonishing act our big, complex, interconnected brains pull off and scientists are only just beginning to understand it?”[xiv] (National Geographic, The Brain). After looking into this a bit, I learned that “some scholars reckon the puzzle of consciousness is something the human mind is incapable of solving” but Daniel Dennett, Philospher and Cognitive Scientist from Tufts University (MA) says that this line of thinking is “culpably wrong. It isn't impossible at all. It's just that we have to buckle down and do it.”[xv] Imagine going back to 1973 (I was only 2) but let's go back in time and I'm going to explain to you that there's this thing called the internet, that's in the ether. I send you something, and you get it pretty much at the same time as I sent it to you. You'd think I was crazy. But not now that our level of awareness has been expanded, and we use the internet every day to function in this society. While we might never understand why we have consciousness, we can continue to study, learn and expand our conscious awareness, (on this topic and others)  and like Cognitive Scientist Daniel Dennett suggests, “buckle down” and do whatever it is we are working on. Whether it's something as difficult as breaking down something so complex as our consciousness, or something less complex, it just takes our effort, and continual study to blast through to new levels of awareness, and results. Wishing you success in whatever it is you are working on. Like that new student in our neuroscience course, keep asking questions, and searching for answers, and I'll see you next week.

In this episode, Dr. Navaz Habib shares the importance of the Vagus Nerve in connection with autoimmunity and inflammation, and how we can improve our vagal tone to improve our health.Dr. Habib is the author of Activate Your Vagus Nerve and host of "The Health Upgrade Podcast."  He is the founder of Health Upgraded, an online Functional Medicine and health optimization clinic.  He teaches how we can optimize productivity, focus and energy levels, and ultimately our health by upgrading the Vagus Nerve.At the time he graduated from chiropractic school, Dr. Habib was very unhealthy.  He was overweight, had high blood sugar and blood pressure, and felt like an imposter teaching others about wellness.  He and his (now) wife, wanted something different for their children."Being healthy is different than simply being without diagnosable conditions."What is the Vagus Nerve?The Vagus Nerve is the 10th cranial nerve.  (We have 12.)It is the only cranial nerve that leaves the head and it connects to every organ system in the body.It is "The Wandering Nerve"It travels down either side of the neck in the carotid sheath and reconnects as one in the thoracic region, goes through the diaphragm, and on to connect with all of the other organ systems.It sends information from the organs to the brain.  This is how it directly relates to inflammation.  When inflammation is sensed in the body, the Vagus nerve signals the brain.The Vagus Nerve IS the Gut-Brain axis!The Vagus Nerve can hit the brakes on inflammation, which is why vagal tone is so important.  If you don't have good vagal tone, the gas stays stuck on and the inflammation continues unchecked.How do you know if you have good Vagal Tone?If you have a resting heart rate between 50-70, you are likely in the parasympathetic state and it would indicate good vagal tone.A resting heart rate over 70, indicates that you are likely in a sympathetic state - fright or flight - stress state...gas pedal stuck on.Wearable trackers are useful in assessing and observing both heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV).HRV is the time (milliseconds) between heart beats.  Ideally, that time is varied, which shows as a higher HRV and indicates resilience.Tracking with a device such as Oura ring, Whoop strap, or Elite HRV can allow you to observe trends and work on improving health by strengthening vagal tone.Take Action for Free!Chant, hum, gag, gargle!Dr. Habib recommends gargling twice a day, when you brush your teeth.Aggressive gargling!  Gargle until tears come out of your eyes.  That is how you know you have activated your brain stem.Practice and work your way up... you will get there!The one thing you can start today...BREATHEDeep, diaphragmatic, belly breathing.Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly.Breathe so that your belly is moving, and not your chest.Three diaphragmatic breaths will get you into the parasympathetic state...which is essential for healing and optimized health.Do this several times a day!

Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://link.anyquestion.com/Greg-Bennett   Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show"   In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg chats to Dr. Dan Plews. Dan is one of the most requested guests. Elite coach Dr. Dan Plews.   Just days after coaching Chelsea Sodaro to her debut Kona in 8:33, Dr Dan joins Greg to dissect the process of how Chelsea went from having a baby 18 months ago, to winning Kona this past weekend. Dan discusses the training prep, nutrition, and heat adaptations, plus the mental prep that he and Chelsea went through prior to her amazing debut.   Dan Plews is an Applied Sports Scientist, Researcher and coach. As a Sports Scientist (specialising in the area of Physiology) Dan has worked closely with athletes who have won more than 25 world and Olympic titles in the sports of rowing, kayak and triathlon. Athletes include Mahe Drysdale, Lisa Carrington, Eric Murray and Hamish Bond.   As a researcher, Dan completed his PhD in the area of applied heart rate variability (HRV). This work focused on implementing and validating methods regarding the application of HRV to track training adaptation in elite athletes.   Since then, Dan has gone onto having more than 21 peer-reviewed publications in the area of applied sports science.   Dan is seriously passionate about endurance sport, particularly Ironman triathlon, where he has coached 3 athletes under the 8-hour barrier. He lives and breathes it, and is a competitive Ironman athlete himself. In 2018 he broke the amateur course record at Ironman New Zealand by more than 10 minutes in a time of 8 hr 35 min.   Dan thrives on continuous learning and being on the cutting edge of applied sports science. He often throws himself into the depths of new science, measurements and self-quantification to find out first hand the effects that they have on training adaptation.   He's one of the world's greatest minds in endurance sports. He has the practical and personal experience, and he has the science. Check out his website - https://www.endureiq.com/   Timestamps 2:28 - Interview starts 5:36 - It's been a challenging year for one of Dan's star athletes - Javier Gomez. Dan describes his perspective on the 'highs & lows' of professional sport for a coach. 8:08 - Dan holds the course record in Kona @ 8:24. Greg and Dan discuss how fast the race is getting. 14:52 - Dan and Greg discuss at what point in the race he felt Chelsea was going to win. 19:17 - These types of wins are lifechanging for an athlete. Dan explains how he feels Chelsea can go on and win further within the sport plus also to be able to grow and deal with the success at this level. Success breeds Success 23:26 - Dan and Chelsea met only2 years ago ... right before she had her baby. The story from that interview is extraordinary. 28:50 - Chelsea was the first athlete Dan has coached through pregnancy. So he applied his sports science knowledge and got to work on studying what he need to do coach Chelsea back to racing form. 32:46 - Chelsea chose to only take 6 weeks off from training after giving birth. Her frist goal was to get to The Collins Cup. Dan explains her training program and the path to Kona. Chelsea's dedication to race in The Collins Cup is an inspiring story. 36:33 - Chelsea's swimming power was holding her back so they called in Paul Newsome to help and guide her. 42:33 - Dan explains the point at which he and Chelsea decided to focus on Kona. 44:48 - Greg probes Dan on his heat-adaption process for Chelsea and Kona. But do we get the full details? usually Dan is so open in sharing his wisdom. 46:51 - One of the hot topics in endurance sports nutrition at the moment is ‘carbohydrate periodization'. Dan explains his view on training to improve Chelsea's ability to make use of fat as a fuel source during exercise. 52:21 - Greg asks Dan on his views on hydration in race mode. We know that better performance can come from those who lose more body fat lose over the course of a marathon. 55:49 - On race day, what did Dan advise Chelsea in terms of keeping cool? 57:49 - Dan and Greg discuss the mental and emotional preparation for Chelsea prior to the race. Is what I'm doing now, positively affecting the last part of my race 01:09:35 - Interview concludes

A client with a complex health situation wants massage to improve their heart rate variability, and they are prepared to track results with a smartwatch and a smart ring. What does this mean? Why does HRV matter? Are there downsides to biometric tracking related to massage?
