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

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

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

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [00:40] Why Dr. Ifland Was Inspired to Start A Career In Processed Food Addiction Ifland had two pregnancies back-to-back. After that, she became a yo-yo dieter. She would try only to eat 1200 calories a day. However, this was making her processed food addiction worse. There are court documents that reveal companies took the tobacco addiction model and transferred it to sugar for children. It's not normal to think about food when you're not hungry. Americans think about food obsessively. After ditching processed foods, Dr. Ifland got rid of her brain fog, bloating, and a sinus infection. Plus, she was losing two pounds a week. Over 70% of the country in the US is now overweight or obese. Americans are deeply addicted to processed foods, and they don't even know about it.  [12:25] You Need To Associate Processed Foods With The Pain You Feel Just because everyone is eating something, that doesn't mean you should eat it too. You need to associate certain foods with the pain you feel from them. For instance, “I don't eat that because it gives me a headache.” You want to retrain brain cells to associate foods with the pain you feel.   [16:55] You Can Addict Any Human To Any Substance If You Get Them Young Enough Smoking used to be the leading cause of preventable death globally. Now, diet-related diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Smoking and diets are based on the same business model. The business model goes like this: Advertising Availability Affordability Young age of onset Hidden addictive product formulation The younger someone is when you addict them, the harder it will be for them to overcome the addiction. [32:20] Overeating Is An Addiction Done To You By The Food Industry It takes years to go to a social situation and not be bothered by people eating processed foods. The conformance tribe is significantly activated by food and by people you know well. The better you know a person, the more likely they will be able to trigger you into eating something bad. Overeating and diet-related diseases were done to you for profit by the food industry. [36:45] Free Donuts For Anyone Who Gets A Vaccine!   There is corruption in the pharmaceutical industry. 60% of Covid deaths are in people who have an underlying diet-related condition. People wouldn't have been able to eat enough processed foods to get a condition unless their addiction was driving them. The message to the world should have been about metabolic health. The addiction business model is also used by the pharmaceutical industry. [42:10] True or False: Sugar Addiction Is Not A Real Thing Dietitians are the “professional” arm of the processed food industry. The medical community is the marketing arm of the pharmaceutical industry. 40% of dietitians work for the processed food industry. If you've been to a conference for dietitians, they are sponsored by Kraft and Nabisco. Luckily, many dieticians are rebelling against processed foods. Check out Processed Food Addiction: http://processedfoodaddiction.com/ Read the Book Processed Food Addiction: https://www.amazon.com/Processed-Food-Addiction-Foundations-Assessment/dp/0367503425/benazadi-20 [45:00] The First Steps To Breaking Food Addiction It's a very difficult process of acceptance, breaking through all the insanity you see out there and accepting that it's a severe addiction. Processed food addictions are deliberately made worse by the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry. You need to go and ask for help to recover from your addiction. Also, you need to be really patient on your journey. Lastly, you need to incorporate healthy living into your life. [51:40] When Can You Start Eating Sugar Again?  People think that they will always want sugar. If you give up processed foods, then you will stop the cravings. Only 1% of the food in a grocery store is actually food. The rest of it is all drugs. Overall, Dr. Ifland says to have hope.

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

Traumatic events are a near-ubiquitous human experience. A general population survey conducted in 24 countries showed more than 70% of respondents experienced a traumatic event, and 30.5 percent had experienced four or more events, according to Boston University. Individuals with health symptoms hire Suzanne Ellison to alleviate their chronic pain which they don't realize is caused by negative thoughts and past traumas. She learnt through her personal experience of having anxiety, depression and ending up on an operating table how powerful our thoughts are in creating our personal reality of life. She joined me this week to tell me more. For more information: https://suzanneellison.coach/ Facebook: @SuzanneEllison LinkedIn: @SuzanneEllison

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

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

Individuals who are married to high level narcissists are enduring dreadful stress that is affecting their psychological and physical immune systems. Our immune systems are designed to keep us health and strong on every level.  Married to a high level narcissist you are in a constant state of duress, the fight or flight zone, the sympathetic nervous system. Hypervigilant and edgy, you endure the vituperative rage, humiliations, sarcasm, threats, betrayals, deceits and demands of these impossible individuals.  The high level narcissist is protected by invulnerable defense mechanisms that protect them from the true reality and cause tremendous stress and anxiety to their spouses and partners: Denial, Projection, Splitting, Repression. Instead of placing so much of your attention to the demands and needs of the high level narcissist, tune into yourself and put emphasis on self observation, research and self care. Appreciate yourself as an individual who is entitled to be authentically yourself, to express your emotions, to activate your creativity, to rest, practice a form mindfulness that works for you, nourishment that is pure, movement and exercise that is best for you. As you distance yourself from the high level narcissist, you rediscover the beauty, strength, perseverance, clear discernment, spiritual awareness of your true self. https://tinyurl.com/y39j2uke www.mhnrnetwork.com   https://www.mentalhealthnewsradionetwork.com/ https://tinyurl.com/y3ss5clg

I am about to share what the most adaptive individuals do in order reach their goals and better the world despite incredible adversity. The past six years I've interviewed hundreds (really likely much higher) of individuals that faced unimaginable adversities. Some have died. Some have lost a loved one. Some have lost the ability to move. Some have not only lost their health but at the same time have been abandoned by family and friends and thus forced to journey alone. Some have survived war and returned without limbs. Yet, as these storms surround these highly adaptive individuals, they've found a way to improve their position and make the world better. How? I will tell you what the most adaptive individuals do....   Check out this really amazing true transformative story, https://www.livingadaptive.com/if-your-life-should-fall-apartsaramae-hollandsworth/   Support the show by using the link below to Buy Me A Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottdavidson   This is a True Story Podcast is found here, https://www.instagram.com/thisisatruestorypodcast/ http://truestorypod.com Scott Davidson is found here, https://www.instagram.com/living_adaptive/ https://linktr.ee/living_adaptive

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

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

Do you notice the minutiae details in everyday life? For example, have you ever recognized the way that other people hold their cell phones? If you do, your mind works similar to that of Jeffrey Nicholson, the CEO, and Co-founder of Tracer. This level of attention to detail has helped him throughout his career, particularly when it comes to picking up some of the latest trends, which he told me about in this episode of Marketing Trends.“I start with natural curiosity. I still, to this day, will do my own research and Google brands, and go through their experiences, and understand what other people go through. When you look at the consumer research on people, they use eight apps or less; they [have] very specific behaviors. I used to look at people's phones and [could] tell very quickly just on their layout, how they operate with phone position and thumb position. You have to start with curiosity, no matter who you are, from analysts all the way to CEO. You've got to know what's going on.”Under the tutelage of media giant, Gary Vaynerchuk at VaynerMedia, Jeff and his co-founder Leighton Welch, built Tracer with the plan to launch separately once the development was complete. Leighton developed the structure of the software while Jeff was operating the customer-facing side, servicing Vayner clients and using the software. VaynerMedia is still a client of Tracer and more companies every day are realizing the value it offers in solving complex data equations. Excited for you to glean some real nuggets of wisdom from this marketing leader. Up next on Marketing Trends. Main Takeaways:Developing Good Talent on your Team is Exponentially Beneficial: As your team grows, the more people you have that are closely aligned with your business mission, vision, and execution expectations, the better that will help everyone stay on the same page. Scaling a team up in the right way might take a little extra time, but the investment upfront will pay dividends later. Curiosity Leads to Excellence in Business: As a CEO being curious is critical to keeping a good view of the big-picture. Developing a natural curiosity around your work can lead to you discovering some basic but important ways you can improve your business operations. As you go through the customer-facing experience of other brands and products, notice the sticking points, the areas you could improve upon, and learn some potentially hard lessons the easy way. Designing Teams around Individuals with Various Skill Sets: Every member of your team brings a vast array of talents and skills to share with the company. Think about who you already have on your team and what other roles you could use support for when hiring to build out the most complementary team. Key Quotes:“I start with natural curiosity. To this day, [I] will do my own research and Google brands, and go through their experiences, and understand what other people go through.

You have to start with curiosity, no matter who you are, from analysts all the way to CEO. You've got to know what's going on.”“I'm a big believer in talent and making sure that talent breeds talent and I think about it as a pyramid. Typically you're starting with your co-founders. The reality is that every level of that pyramid is imperative to the success of your business. I'm a big basketball guy. You need a power forward, you need a shooting guard, you need everybody to have different skill sets. That's going to be complementary to make you win. So you're a good communicating and functioning team… I've spent probably more time than most of the people I know in regards to just recruiting and retention because I do believe that, you know, people are the difference between winning and losing.”“I underestimate how difficult it is to be responsible for other human beings. As an early manager, I got some good advice and bad advice and you're just learning on the fly. I think now I feel a lot more comfort in being a leader in dealing with things.”“I spend a lot of time on [my work] because I care and I want to win. And honestly, I want to make sure I don't let anybody else down on the team. It's an easy motivation to keep yourself motivated, to make sure that we make the right decisions and spend as much time as I can researching and recruiting and, and doing the things.”Bio:Jeff Nicholson is the CEO and Co-founder of Tracer. Nicholson has been innovating in the media and tech space for 15 plus years. Before joining Tracer, he was the first Chief Media Officer at VaynerMedia, where he spent five years scaling the business globally. He has also served as the Head of Ads at SocialCode, which was the largest spending agency on Facebook in North America. Prior to that, he was VP of Ads at LeadKarma, which sold to BankRate for $30MM. Currently, he sits on the advisory boards of Roku, Pinterest, and NextDoor.

Before we get started, know that this episode will address topics including harassment and discrimination in the workplace. 00:00 - 02:35 | Elisa Stampf joins host Meg McKeen in this episode. Elisa was a guest on the podcast in a previous season, but a lot has changed since our last conversation. 02:36 - 04:29 | Elisa has observed the experience of many women in the workplace and she found herself at a breaking point. Elisa shares her story of harassment and discrimination in the workplace. It's a tough - but necessary - listen.04:30 - 10:08 | Elisa made a career pivot at the start of the pandemic. She decided to take a stand for someone she didn't even know and realized she could no longer be silent. She was alienated in the workplace, first in small ways, and then in others, much larger. She shares more about the physical and emotional effects of such a workplace culture - some of which we can't even see.10:09 - 11:45 | Non-disclosure agreements are common - and can be damaging. They control a perception that behavior like this doesn't happen, or happens on a very limited basis. Elisa and Meg have a shared experience in hearing the stories of many women in the insurance industry, which highlights that we are not alone.11:46 - 16:37 | Meg has challenged Elisa for the feasibility and practicality of the work she is doing - to change the system that has perpetuated these experiences. Meg has struggled to reconcile that many of the perpetrators of this behavior are well-respected in the industry - and some are even friends. How can seemingly good people not know - or are they being protected?16:38 - 19:17 | Elisa unpacks the idea of "good" or "bad" people and how we respond in situations like we've described. The goal in addressing these instances isn't about punishment but rather understanding and atonement - and moving forward. 19:18 - 21:59 | So often we diminish the experience we've had - ranking it as it compares to others. This equates to devaluing - and often accepting - the experience we've had as somehow acceptable. Elisa challenges us to focus on the little things - the decisions we make every day that perpetuate the outcomes we're trying to change. Can we stop prioritizing profits over people?22:00 - 25:59 | Elisa is channeling this desire for change into the work she is doing today through Insure Equality, focusing on the small changes that can make a great impact. She acknowledges that this work has been underway for years, and we are all qualified to be on the journey to make change together.26:00 - 28:59 | Elisa encourages a culture where 1) there is safety in coming forward, 2) leadership takes these allegations seriously, 3) confidentiality will not be required, unless asked for by the victim, and 4) client and vendor partnerships won't be valued more highly than the well-being of their employees.29:00 - 32:29 | Individuals can tell their stories - confidentially - to support this work, providing necessary research and data. A toolkit is also available to help champion this movement within organizations that may be reluctant to see the need for change. This collaborative effort is intended to shine a light on organizations - helping potential employees to see their ability to see their success there, too. 32:30 - 37:52 | Culture, equity, and inclusion are business priorities and this tool simply makes good business sense. A reminder that just because you can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't happen - we can choose to look away or we can choose to lean in.37:53 - 40:50 | So many people are surviving  - not thriving - working in the insurance industry today. Changing this is overwhelming - but necessary - and won't be perfect. And there is beauty in knowing we are still moving forward.Visit Insure Equality to learn more and to share your story.To learn more about the work Meg McKeen does to support insurance professionals visit Adjunct Advisors.  To stay up-to-date on offerings, ideas, and Meg's latest travel plans, subscribe to To Taking the Risk here.Like the show? Leave your review on iTunes – please and thank you!

Jordan Domash returns as Tom Fox's guest in this week's show. Jordan is the General Manager at Relativity, a company that makes software to help users organize their data. Jordan has been leading Relativity's communications surveillance product for the past few years and is in charge of the sale and development of the platform. This week, Jordan and Tom talk about changes in data management and cybersecurity approaches, what regulators look for and how cybersecurity will evolve in the coming years. Relativity and Regulation With the explosion of data volumes due to an increase in communication platforms, the variety of data sources that need to be monitored has exploded as well. In regulated organizations, employees who want to engage in mischievous activity know they're being monitored, and so are consciously doing everything they can to avoid detection. However, technology has advanced so that it is now able to capture and monitor every data source that's widely used today. Relativity offers dozens of different tools that allow a compliance officer to focus on what's truly important. "At the end of the day it's about being risk based...It's about focusing on your highest risks in the organization, defining them in advance, defining the population that is susceptible to that risk, and focusing your energy on reviewing alerts that seem the highest risk within those categories," Jordan tells Tom. A Change In Approach The pandemic has affected how people approach data management and cybersecurity. It has also affected how Relativity Trace responded to these issues. Regulators have made it clear that the data from voice interactions need to be recorded. Relativity has seen an influx of customers and clients requesting for more data sources to capture voice data. "We need to invest a lot to keep pace with the evolution of the world's communication habits," Jordan remarks. Compliance teams are also no longer operating next to each other so a lot of the collaboration that is happening with these teams require systems to manage them. Relativity has built tools that allow compliance teams to use one main tool to manage their internal processes. "We'd like that all centralized in the system where the actual compliance monitoring is happening," Jordan adds.  The Impact of COVID-19 The biggest impact the pandemic has had on regulatory scrutiny is the reinforcement that obligations don't change in a remote work environment. Compliance officers still need to capture all communication vehicles. Individuals may be communicating differently, or are no longer in a controlled environment, but capturing and monitoring communication data is just as important.  What's Next In the coming years, Jordan tells Tom, businesses will be shifting away from on-site technology and moving more heavily towards cloud technologies. In compliance and compliance monitoring, there is going to be a greater focus on leveraging AI capabilities.  Resources Jordan Domash | LinkedIn  Relativity

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

Show Notes:Physically, who's the biggest, baddest, strongest person you can think of? Maybe it's Andre the Giant. Or The Rock. Or maybe Hafþór Björnsson, i.e. the Mountain from the hugely popular TV series, Game of Thrones. Either way, physical strength and size can be awe inspiring.  But there's another kind of strength that isn't so easily viewed from the outside. It's an inner strength, usually born and cultivated over years in the rich soils of trial, loss, pain, heartache, and injustice. And this strength can be just as powerful and just as awe inspiring. That's what makes our guest today so incredible. He's a combination of both physical and mental strength.Our guest today is Shea Taylor.  Shea is a devout Christian, an amputee athlete, a professional MMA fighter, a top 5 U.S. ranked adaptive golfer, an avid cook, an entrepreneur with a very successful consultant company, a public speaker, a bully to bullies, and, since this recording, he was named Mr. Health and Fitness 2021.

Today's episode will be the first in a series on the seven stages of Alzheimer's. For the first episode, we are going to be discussing what Alzheimer's is and what the common signs and symptoms are, and how it is being treated today. Then, we'll move on to a brief overview of the seven stages before taking an in-depth look at stages one and two. Now let's move on to the rest of the show.   According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. Symptoms eventually grow severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for somewhere between 60 and 80 percent of dementia cases.   Alzheimer's is a progressive disease. In most cases, symptoms worsen gradually over several years. After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, a person usually lives anywhere from four to eight years, but in some cases, individuals have lived for over 20 years with Alzheimer's.   Everyone experiences Alzheimer's differently. There are many different signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's that you should be aware of, especially if you are concerned that you or a loved one may be experiencing any of the symptoms.   The Alzheimer's Association lists 10 early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's that you should be on the lookout for. The first sign they suggest is memory loss that disrupts daily life. As we age, we may begin to forget things and not be able to easily recall information, like names or specific memories, but we may be able to recall the information later. Not being able to recall the information at all is an early sign of Alzheimer's. One example of this is your loved one asking the same question repeatedly because they don't remember asking it or hearing your answer.   The second sign to look for is challenges in planning or problem solving. Trouble keeping track of finances or making a recipe they have made numerous times can both be examples of trouble planning or problem solving. Making the occasional mistake paying bills, however, is not an example of this. Mistakes happen but having an issue figuring out how to pay their bills or adding numbers may be a sign your loved one has Alzheimer's.   Having difficulty completing familiar tasks is the third sign you should be looking for. Not remembering how to drive to a place your loved one has been to many times or not remembering how to write or organize their grocery list how they normally do can be an early sign of Alzheimer's.   Another sign is being confused with times or places. Not knowing what day of the week it is can be an indicator that your loved one is confusing times or places, but it can also just be a normal sign of aging. Not knowing what season it is or not knowing where they are is mainly what we are referring to with this sign.   Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships is the fifth sign that the Alzheimer's Association lists. Vision problems unrelated to cataracts can be a sign of Alzheimer's. Having trouble judging distance or being unable to differentiate colors are both examples of this sign. These things can also make driving difficult and possibly unsafe for your loved one as well.   Another early sign to look for is new problems with words in speaking or writing. Someone with Alzheimer's may have trouble following or continuing a conversation. They may forget words or the entire rest of their train of thought. Forgetting a word on its own may not be an early sign of Alzheimer's, but constantly forgetting words or using the wrong word may be a sign your loved one has Alzheimer's.   The seventh sign is misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. For this sign, your loved one will lose things and not be able to figure out how to work backwards to find them. Many people with Alzheimer's also tend to put items in unusual places, such as putting their keys in the freezer. As the disease progresses, they may even accuse others of stealing their things.   Decreased or poor judgement is another early sign of Alzheimer's. Your loved one may begin to make poor decisions frequently, like not bathing regularly or taking care of themselves as well as they should and normally would do. Making one bad decision occasionally, like skipping a shower occasionally, or not filling up their car with gas when they should may not be an early sign of Alzheimer's, but repeated decisions like these can be.   Another early sign of Alzheimer's is withdrawal from work or social activities. This sign goes along with forgetting words and having trouble with conversations. Having difficulties following a conversation may lead to having difficulties in social settings and your loved one may withdrawal from activities they once loved. Occasionally being disinterested in hobbies or visiting with friends or family is not a sign that you loved one is withdrawing from their social life. There are times when you yourself don't feel like being social and your loved one experiences times like those, as well. Continuously withdrawing from social situations is the sign you should be looking for in your loved one.   The tenth and last sign that the Alzheimer's Association mentions is changes in mood and personality. Your loved one may experience moods more strongly than they once did. They may become easily upset when they are uncomfortable and lash out at their friends and loved ones.   If you notice any of these signs or symptoms in your loved one, schedule an appointment with their doctor. They may be experiencing normal age-related symptoms and not symptoms of Alzheimer's or another dementia, but their doctor will be able to determine whether they are showing signs of Alzheimer's. Early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer's can help their doctor develop a treatment plan that will allow your loved one to maintain their independence longer and help control some of the symptoms right away, making their day-to-day life easier.   Some symptoms of Alzheimer's disease may seem like they are just signs of the normal aging process, but they are not. Increasing age is a risk factor of Alzheimer's, but age itself is not a cause of Alzheimer's. Most cases of Alzheimer's happen after age 65, but some happen before that age. Alzheimer's that happens before age 65 is called younger-onset or early-onset Alzheimer's. Individuals diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's can be in any of the seven stages of Alzheimer's at the time of their diagnosis.   As we said previously, early detection of Alzheimer's is crucial. The earlier someone is diagnosed, the faster they can start treatment and get back to enjoying their lives and time with their loved ones. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's, but there are a few ways that doctors can treat the symptoms.   A new drug called aducanumab has recently been approved by the FDA to be used to address the underlying biology of Alzheimer's disease. This drug is a treatment and not a cure. According to the Alzheimer's Association, it is the first therapy to demonstrate that removing amyloid, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, from the brain is reasonably likely to reduce cognitive and functional decline in people living with early Alzheimer's.   Approval of this therapy underscores the importance of early detection and accurate diagnosis. Treatment with aducanumab should be initiated in patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia stage of disease, the population in which treatment was initiated in clinical trials.    Aducanumab was studied in people living with early Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's who showed evidence of a buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain. Because of this, this treatment has not yet been recommended for individuals with middle or end stage Alzheimer's.   Other medications treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's, but not the underlying biology, like aducanumab does. There are medications that help treat cognitive issues, like memory problems, and there are medications that help with behavioral and psychological problems. There are also several clinical trials going on to help improve both memory problems and behavioral and psychological problems due to Alzheimer's.   There are also alternative treatment plans that don't require medication. Some supplements and foods may help improve the symptoms of Alzheimer's. A fairly new idea that we recently talked about in a Quick Tips episode is a Dementia Friendly Community. These communities make it safer for those living with dementia to maintain their independence and help them be a part of society after they have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. To learn more about treatments for Alzheimer's, talk to your doctor today. They can go over treatment options and recommend a best course of action.   You can also call the Alzheimer's Association 24/7 helpline for any questions you may have regarding Alzheimer's disease. They can be reached at 1-800-272-3900.   Now that we've discussed what Alzheimer's is, what some of the signs and symptoms to look for are, and how it is currently being treated, let's move on to a brief overview of the seven stages of Alzheimer's.   You may be familiar with the three most commonly referred to stages of Alzheimer's, the beginning, middle, and end stages, but today we are going to be expanding upon those and talking about all seven stages of Alzheimer's.   The Global Deterioration Scale for Assessment of Primary Degenerative Dementia, which is what we are referring to as the seven-stage model of Alzheimer's disease progression, was created by Dr. Barry Reisberg to provide caregivers an overview of the stages of cognitive function for those suffering from a primary degenerative dementia such as Alzheimer's disease.   The first stage is referred to as no impairment or before symptoms appear. Changes in the brain are happening during this stage, but no noticeable signs or symptoms will be seen. Because there are no signs or symptoms during this stage, people are not normally diagnosed during stage one.   Dr. Wolk, co-director of the Penn Memory Center states that “this time period — often called ‘pre-clinical Alzheimer's disease' — likely begins 10 or 15 years before people have symptoms. Currently, there is no treatment for this pre-clinical stage, but we hope in the future that we will have medicines that can halt the progress before people have symptoms and prevent the disease.”   The second stage of Alzheimer's tends to show up as a very mild decline in cognitive health. According to Senior Link, in this stage, a person with Alzheimer's disease begins to experience the typical forgetfulness associated with aging. They may forget where they left their car keys or their purse. These symptoms are typically not yet noticed by the individual's family members or physician.   The third stage of dementia shows noticeable memory difficulties and is sometimes referred to as a mild decline. Dr. Wolk explains that “for many, this stage brings noticeable changes, and it will become harder to blame age. It's common to be diagnosed in this stage, because this is when a person's daily routine becomes more disrupted.” These first three stages usually occur prior to a diagnosis. An early diagnosis is usually made in stage three, with early-stage dementia being stage four.   Stage four is known as moderate cognitive decline and, as we just said, is what is usually referred to as early-stage dementia. According to Dr. Wolk, in this stage, damage to the brain often involves other aspects of cognition outside of memory, including some difficulty with language, organization, and calculations. These problems can make it more challenging for your loved one to perform daily tasks. Because of the damage to the brain cells, your loved one may also experience other personality changes, such as feeling suspicious of others, having less interest in things, or feeling depressed. These kinds of symptoms can often be improved with medications.   Stages five and six make up mid-stage dementia. Stage five is known as moderately severe cognitive decline or decreased independence. According to the Premiere Neurology Center, from stages one through four, most people will continue to maintain their independence with only minor challenges. However, during stage 5, independence becomes harder since they begin to forget close friends and family, struggle to learn new skills, and may forget to perform basic tasks, like getting dressed. Additionally, emotional changes are also frequently seen during this stage. This can cause hallucinations, delusions, and/or paranoia.   With stage six comes severe symptoms or severe cognitive decline. Dr. Wolk says that living on your own requires you to be able to respond to your environment, like knowing what to do if the fire alarm goes off or the phone rings. During stage six, this becomes difficult for people with Alzheimer's. Your loved one will be experiencing more significant symptoms at this time, which will impact their ability to manage their own care and they will be more dependent on others.   Late or end stage dementia is also known as stage seven - very severe cognitive decline or a lack of physical control. The Premiere Neurology Center says that the final stage of Alzheimer's disease is when the brain has sustained so much damage that it fails to communicate with other parts of the body, causing mental and physical impairment. During this final stage, people require around the clock care and assistance for even the most basic parts of their daily routine.   Now that you know what the seven stages of Alzheimer's are, let's take a closer look at stages one and two.   Stage one is the preclinical Alzheimer's stage or the no impairment stage. Most people are not diagnosed during this stage, but it isn't impossible to be diagnosed during stage one. According to Healthline, you may only know about your risk for Alzheimer's disease due to family history or your doctor may identify biomarkers that indicate your risk.   Your doctor will interview you about memory problems if you're at risk for Alzheimer's, but there will be no noticeable symptoms during the first stage, which can last for years or decades. Changes in the brain can happen up to fifteen years before any signs or symptoms of Alzheimer's even develop.   While Alzheimer's may be undetectable in stage one, knowing the risk factors of Alzheimer's can help you spot signs and symptoms as soon as they appear, and as we have said a few times today, the earlier you can diagnosis Alzheimer's, the better.   Age, gender, genetics, family history, head trauma, brain abnormalities, smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, limited physical activity, lack of mental activity, and a poor diet are all risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.   According to Healthline, Alzheimer's is not a normal part of growing older. However, age is a risk factor for developing this condition. One in nine people over age 65 and one in three people over 85 have Alzheimer's.   Women are one and half to three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's than men. Healthline also states that Researchers have found two classes of genes related to Alzheimer's. Deterministic genes guarantee that people will develop the disease if they live long enough. Usually, people with deterministic genes will develop Alzheimer's in their 30s, 40s, or 50s. The Mayo Clinic estimates that these genes caused the condition in about five percent of people with Alzheimer's.   People with risk genes may or may not develop the disease. However, they are more likely to develop Alzheimer's than people without risk genes.   If your family has a history of Alzheimer's, you are also at a higher risk. The more family members you have had that had Alzheimer's disease, the higher your risk will be, as well.   Researchers have found that if you have had serious head injuries you are also at a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease. Healthline states that the risk increases if the injury involves losing consciousness or happens repeatedly, such as in contact sports. Along with head trauma, scientists have identified brain abnormalities in people who are likely to later develop Alzheimer's. One is the presence of tiny clumps of protein, also known as plaques. The other is twisted protein strands, or tangles. Inflammation, tissue shrinkage, and loss of connection between brain cells are other clues that Alzheimer's may develop.   Smoking can also increase your risk of developing Alzheimer's, as well as numerous other health problems. High blood pressure is another risk factor tied to Alzheimer's. Researchers have found an especially strong correlation between high blood pressure at middle age and the chances of later developing the disease.   Both obesity and limited physical activity increase your risk of Alzheimer's. Being overweight can double your risk. An article published in Maturitas, an international journal of midlife health and beyond found that exercising twice a week during midlife may lower your risk of developing Alzheimer's.   Lack of mental activity is another risk factor for Alzheimer's. When we challenge our mental capabilities by trying new things and learning new things, playing an instrument, or doing other activities that use our minds, we create internal connections that can help protect against dementia.   Lastly, a poor diet can be a risk factor of Alzheimer's. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods can help lower your risk of developing Alzheimer's later in life. Developing healthy habits early on can help you live a longer and healthier life overall.   Now that we've taken a closer look at stage one and some things to look out for while you're younger, let's move on to stage two.   With stage two comes some signs and symptoms that were not visible during stage one. According to Alzheimer's dot net, the senior may notice minor memory problems or lose things around the house, although not to the point where the memory loss can easily be distinguished from normal age-related memory loss. The person will still do well on memory tests and the disease is unlikely to be detected by loved ones or physicians.   Healthline says that Alzheimer's disease affects mainly older adults, over the age of 65 years. At this age, it's common to have slight functional difficulties like forgetfulness. But for stage 2 Alzheimer's, the decline will happen at a greater rate than similarly aged people without Alzheimer's. For example, they may forget familiar words, a family member's name, or where they placed something. During this stage, a loved one may notice symptoms, but not usually the person with Alzheimer's. If you recognize any cognitive decline in your loved one, talk to them about scheduling an appointment with their doctor.   In the next episode in our series we will dive into the next stage of Alzheimer's, which is stage three, noticeable memory difficulties.

"Principle 1: Sexuality is an integral part of the personhood of every human being, for this reason a favorable environment in which everyone may enjoy all sexual rights as part of the process of development must be created Sexuality is an integral part of the personhood of every human being in all societies. While individuals experience their sexualities throughout their lives in ways that vary according to inner and external factors, human rights related to sexuality, their protection and promotion should be part of the daily existence of all individuals, everywhere. In addition, sexuality should be recognized as a positive aspect of life. Sexual rights are universal human rights based on the inherent freedom, dignity and equality of all human beings. In accordance with the Charter on Sexual and Reproductive Rights, IPPF affirms that the person is the central subject of development and recognizes the importance of creating a favorable environment in which every individual may enjoy all sexual rights in order to be able to take an active part in processes of economic, social, cultural and political development. Sexuality is an aspect of human and social life which is engaged always with the body, the mind, politics, health and society. Principle 2: The rights and protections guaranteed to people under age eighteen differ from those of adults, and must take into account the evolving capacities of the individual child to exercise rights on his or her own behalf. IPPF understands that the rights and protections guaranteed to people under age eighteen (18), as a matter of international and national law, sometimes differ from the rights of adults. These differences relate to all aspects of human rights but require particular approaches in regard to sexual rights. IPPF begins from the premise that persons under eighteen (18) are rights holders, and that at different points within the spectrum of infancy, childhood, and adolescence, certain rights and protections will have greater or lesser relevance. In addition, the principle of evolving capacity combines respect for children, their dignity and entitlement to protection from all forms of harm, while also acknowledging the value of their own contribution towards their protection. Societies must create environments in which children can achieve their optimal capacities and where greater respect is given to their potential for participation in, and responsibility for, decision-making in their own lives. Principle 3: Non-discrimination underlines all human rights protection and promotion. IPPF understands that a framework of non-discrimination underlines all human rights protection and promotion. This framework of non-discrimination prohibits any distinction, exclusion or restriction on the basis of sex, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, sexual history or behavior, real or imputed, race, color, ethnicity, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, physical or mental disability, health status, including HIV/AIDS, and civil, political, social or other status which has the purpose or effect of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise on an equal basis with others, of all human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field. Individuals experience different barriers to the fulfilment of their sexual rights. Substantive equality requires these barriers to be removed in order for diverse individuals to enjoy fundamental rights and freedoms on an equal basis with others. This may require that particular attention be paid to marginalized and under-served groups."

Episode 74: Breast Cancer Screening. Salwa and Veronic discuss who, how, and when to screen for breast cancer. The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was authorized for use in children 5-11 years of age.Introduction: Pediatric COVID-19 VaccinesBy Lam Chau, MS3, Ross University School of MedicineOn November 2nd, 2021, the CDC endorsed a unanimous recommendation to allow the use of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5-11 years of age. The White House has secured 28 million pediatric doses of the Pfizer vaccine, enough to cover every child ages 5-11 within the United States without cost. The official CDC recommendation is that all children aged 5 and older get vaccinated, regardless of past infection history. The Pfizer vaccine for children is given in two doses, 3 weeks apart.Individuals older than 12 are given a 30-microgram dose, while pediatric individuals are given a 10-microgram dose. For extra precaution, the pediatric vaccine vials are being shipped with a unique orange cap to clearly distinguish itself from higher dose vaccines. Clinical trials with the lower dose vaccine demonstrated a strong antibody response and a prevention rate of symptomatic COVID-19 of 90%. The reported side effects were minimal, and no serious adverse events or myocarditis were reported during the trials. The vaccination of children cannot be understated. The benefits go well beyond just the physiological processes of vaccination. It will foster a safer environment for our children and help improve their emotional and social development. While there is still a lot to be done to end the pandemic, this recent announcement is an enormous step in the right direction in returning to normalcy. This is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California.

Did you see all the flyers and advertisements about Breast cancer awareness last month? Veronica: I did! It's because October was breast cancer awareness month.Salwa: And spooky season, and of course pumpkin spice season! I got my dose of pumpkin spice this morning. Well, every morning to be exact, Starbucks is my second home. What do you know about breast cancer? Veronica: Well...breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. And, fun fact, I know that Angelina Jolie had an increased risk of breast cancer, so she had surgery to remove them.Arreaza: I remember it being all over the news back in 2013. It caused “The Angelina Effect.” There was an increase in people searching about breast cancer on the internet. Let's dive into this topic a bit more. What exactly is breast cancer?Salwa: It's a process in which normal cells of the breast start growing too quickly, out of control. It can happen in males too, but it's much rarer.Veronica: And there are different types of breast cancers that originate from the different types of tissue in the breast. There's ductal carcinoma, lobular, inflammatory, Paget's, and phyllodes to name a few. Salwa: Not only are there different types of breast cancers, but some can also be hereditary meaning mutated genetic information is passed on from generation to generation.Arreaza: That's what happened with Angelina Jolie. She had a BRCA1 gene mutation. Veronica: BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are the most common causes of hereditary breast cancer. Normally, the BRCA gene helps make proteins that repair damaged DNA. When this gene is mutated, it can't make those proteins, so damaged DNA stays damaged. But this only makes up 5-10% of all breast cancers.Salwa: Exactly! Here's an interesting fact, women of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage are at a much higher risk of developing a BRCA mutation. There are several other genes that are also linked to hereditary breast cancer. But those genes aren't that common. Non-hereditary breast cancers are much more common - they make up about 85% of breast cancers. Arreaza: Ok so you two gave us a lot of good information, but do you know how to screen for breast cancer?Salwa: When and how often you screen depends on which guidelines your physician is following. Generally, you'll get a mammogram, basically an X Ray of the breast. Veronica: The US Preventative Screening Task Force or USPSTF is a panel of experts that uses medicine-based evidence to make screening and vaccination guidelines. These guidelines are reviewed and updated yearly. For breast cancer, the USPSTF recommends women ages 50-74 have a mammogram every other year. Salwa: The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists recommends mammograms starting at the age of 40 and repeating the test every year or every other year. While the American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms from 40 to 54 years of age and then every other year for women 55 years or older. Veronica: Dr. Arreaza, you see a lot of patients and I'm sure you've referred plenty of them for breast cancer screening. How do you decide which guidelines to follow? Arreaza: When you have a patient between 40-50 years old, you have an opportunity to talk about screening, and make a shared decision. The USPSTF recommends that women with a personal or family history of breast, ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal cancer or an ancestry associated with BRCA1/2 gene mutation be screened with an appropriate brief familial risk assessment tool. Women with a positive result on the risk assessment tool should receive genetic counseling and, if indicated after counseling, genetic testing.Some instruments use to assess the need for BRCA mutation screening include Ontario Family History Assessment Tool, Manchester Scoring System, Referral Screening Tool, Pedigree Assessment Tool, 7-Question Family History Screening Tool, International Breast Cancer Intervention Study instrument (Tyrer-Cuzick).Salwa: What about the self-breast exams? I remember those were recommended all the time.Veronica: That's a great question! Current research suggests that doing a self-breast exam doesn't necessarily help detect tumors early – whether cancerous or not. And, sometimes, while doing self-breast exams you may feel a lump that's actually normal breast tissue and it may cause unnecessary anxiety. That being said, you should always know how your breasts normally look - as in are they symmetrical, how the nipples look, how the skin normally looks. And of course, if you notice any changes or have any concerns, please visit your primary care provider. Arreaza: Breast awareness. The USPSTF recommends that clinicians offer to prescribe risk-reducing medications, such as tamoxifen, raloxifene, or aromatase inhibitors, to women who are at increased risk for breast cancer and at low risk for adverse medication effects.Salwa: As medical students, we have the opportunity to work with different departments in the hospital. I'm currently doing my surgery rotation and Veronica completed hers in September. As part of the rotation, we had the opportunity to work at the Breast Clinic with Dr. Snyder. We saw a lot of patients from CSV because their PCPs were screening them for breast cancer and all those women were able to get the higher level of care they needed. Find available resources in your community for free screening mammograms. For example, Cancer Detection Program/Every Woman Counts by Clinica Sierra Vista.____________________________Now we conclude our episode number 74 “Breast Cancer Screening.” October was breast cancer awareness month, but it is not too late to remind everyone of the need to screen for breast cancer. Whether you follow the American Cancer Society, the USPSTF or the ACOG guidelines, just do not forget to screen. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek.

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

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

The debate around weight loss is a very rich one, with a lot of science-based information being added to it all the time and a lot of practical tips from those who have achieved a personal transformation being offered through social media. Despite the foundation of this topic revolving around caloric deficit and caloric surplus, another vital factor which needs to be taken into account is: metabolism. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade interviews Dr. Sara Gottfried to talk about the role that metabolism, metabolic adaptation, and hormones play in a weight loss goal. Individuals that also pay attention to these factors have more understanding on what it takes to eliminate body fat. Dr. Sara also emphasizes that specific diet protocols such as the ketogenic diet can definitely work, but it may vary from person to person. Tune in to learn more!

What's Good Dimah Fam! In this episode, Nila and Adise highlight the recent tragedy regarding Travis Scott and the concert he held in his hometown of Houston, Astroworld. Travis Scott is known for his stage presence some say his energy is "of another world", and each year thousands gather to let loose and party their lives away alongside their favorite musician. With this sort of energy, sometimes, bad things start to develop. In this specific case eight people tragically lost their lives while attending the Astroworld concert. Over fifty thousand people gathered in attendance, as the main areas started to pile in, most of the attendees found themselves suffocating and pleading for space and for the majority of the night their screams fell on deaf ears. Individuals were suffering from cardiac arrest, getting d*ug*ed against their own will, and suffocating until they fell unconscious. Astroworld at its height was one of the most polarizing concerts to attend, now Travis Scott finds himself in serious legal issues surrounding Astroworld and the individuals who orchestrated the event alongside him. Thanks for listening!

Good Tuesday to you. This is Pastor Toby Sumpter. Today is Tuesday, November 9, 2021. This is the CrossPolitic Daily Newsbrief. Find all our shows at Crosspolitic.com and download the Fight Laugh Feast App at your favorite app store so you don't miss anything. We are currently suspended by youtube for saying bad COVID words, and we don't plan to abide by their rules, so even if we are back up on youtube soon, we will probably get sent back to the corner with a dunce cap shortly. Alaskan Governor Mike Dunleavy Issues Order Background: Recent actions and statements by President Biden attempt to control the health and welfare of Alaskans; an area clearly within the sovereign authority of the State of Alaska under the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. (“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”). Neither the President nor the federal government may arbitrarily claim authority from Congress in order to violate the Tenth Amendment. If Congress has not passed clear and specific legislation authorizing action, the federal government cannot impose its will on States and their residents. … Under the authority of Article III, Sections 1, 16, and 24 of the Constitution of the State of Alaska, I, Mike Dunleavy, Governor of the State of Alaska, order the following: The Attorney General shall review any new federal law, regulation, or policy related to IRS monitoring of bank accounts owned by Alaskans and Alaskan businesses. The Attorney General shall review any federal vaccine mandate issued by the Biden Administration and determine whether there are legal grounds to challenge such mandates in court. To the extent allowable by law, no state agency shall participate in, or use state funds or personnel, to further a federal vaccine mandate for employers. The Attorney General will review and oppose efforts by the Federal Government to monitor and negatively affect the ability of Alaskan parents to exercise their constitutional rights by participating in school board meetings. To the extent allowable by law, no state agency shall participate with a federal agency, or spend state funds to participate in, or further any action by a federal agency that infringes on the constitutional rights of Alaskans. Nor may a state agency take actions that would unconstitutionally chill free speech or infringe upon other constitutional rights exercised by citizens against or in support of local school district policies. State agencies shall continue to enforce the criminal code of the State of Alaska. If a federal agency proposes an action to a state agency that would require a state agency to act in a manner that may violate the Alaska or U.S. Constitution, the agency's commissioner shall immediately inform the Attorney General for the State of Alaska and seek legal advice as to how to proceed. Even if this doesn't have much legal teeth, I would still encourage more of this kind of talk by all lesser magistrates. This is called the bully pulpit, and it is one of the ways leaders lead. This is important for fathers, husbands, pastors, and magistrates of every stripe. Say it outloud. Say what is true. A reminder: Have you subscribed to the Fight Laugh Feast Magazine?

Bill is called the 2363 Act, which is the number of children killed by abortion everyday. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/579944-ohio-lawmakers-introduce-abortion-bill-that-goes-further-than-texas-law Ohio Republicans introduced a bill on Wednesday that calls for a total ban on abortions in the state, reaching farther than the Texas “heartbeat” law that is currently under examination by the Supreme Court. The bill, called the 2363 Act, which the lawmakers said is the number of children lost to abortion everyday in the U.S., seeks to ban all abortions in Ohio and, like the Texas law, empower “any person” to bring civil action against an individual who performs and abortion or “knowingly engages in conduct that aids or abets the performance or inducement of an abortion.” Individuals who filed such lawsuits will be permitted to ask for $10,000 or more, according to Cleveland.com. The legislation does not include exceptions for rape or incest, but it would shield abortion patients from being sued by individuals who may have gotten them pregnant through rape or another form of sexual violence. The controversial Texas law bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, something that can occur as early as six weeks into a pregnancy — a point where many women will not know they are pregnant. Ohio Rep. Jena Powell (R), who introduced the bill, said it is about protecting life. “The sanctity of human life, born and preborn, must be preserved in Ohio,” Powell said, according to Cleveland.com. “The 2363 Act is about protecting our fundamental, constitutional right to be born and live. Abortion kills children, scars families, and harms women. We can and must do better.” Here's the bill: https://legiscan.com/OH/text/HB480/id/2440290 Meanwhile, Pittsburgh and Portland now allow city employees to take up to three days of paid “bereavement” leave after having a miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/27/pittsburgh-portland-ore-pass-bereavement-leave-for-pregnancy-loss.html Portland, Oregon, is the latest city to provide bereavement leave for people experiencing pregnancy loss, including abortions. The city's amended bereavement leave policy allows city employees to take up to three days of paid leave if they've had a miscarriage, stillbirth or any other type of pregnancy loss. The policy covers time off for people to recover from an abortion “irrespective of whether deemed medically necessary,” according to the text. The city council approved the changes unanimously earlier in October. Bereavement leave that covers miscarriages and stillbirths is rare, said Elizabeth Nash, a state policy analyst with reproductive health research organization Guttmacher Institute, to OPB. Even more rare is paid leave to recover from an abortion, she told OPB: “This is just incredibly uncommon.” But while paid leave to recover from pregnancy loss is rare, the event itself is “extremely common,” per the Kaiser Family Foundation, which estimates miscarriages occur in up to an estimated 30% of all pregnancies. It can take several weeks for the body to recover physically from pregnancy loss, and longer to recover mentally. In one instance, Rodriguez told OPB, a staffer shared her experience of being a new employee who had yet to accrue any paid time off to use following her pregnancy loss. “She essentially took days without pay to deal with both her physical reaction to what ended up being a medical termination with her doctor's help and the emotional and psychological impact of what happened,” Rodriguez said. “I'm like, ‘OK, we need to figure out how to actually call this out and be proudly saying that this city wants to support families as they're going through this process.'” Saturday Night Live Tries to Laugh About Abortion Play Audio 1:05-1:18, 2:26-3:09 Ok, not really funny. Not really funny to joke about the murder of babies. But the joke is actually Saturday Night Live and Liberals who want to be able to pretend that killing babies is funny or laughable. The Pro-live stance is that women are not clowns. They are amazing creatures made in the image of God. They are to be honored and protected and defended in the covenant of marriage because they are the kind of people who can make new people inside of them. That isn't a joke, but when you try to laugh at the murder of your own child, you are making women into clowns, sad sadistic clowns. Despite the fact that I really don't like agreeing with Portland very much, the fact that they are listing abortion under bereavement leave is far closer to the truth (despite their schizophrenia) than Saturday Night Live.

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

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

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

However, it's not! When you learn this principle, it will change the way you think forever about stress. Ultimately, hormesis is about how we apply stressors and actually change the functionality of our bodies. There's something called the hormetic zone when you nail it, and you can drive healing in the body. All these positive things come out of hormesis; it will change the way you think about everything.  Hormesis refers to adaptive responses of biological systems to moderate environmental or self-imposed challenges through which the system improves its functionality and tolerance to more severe challenges.    [06:55] How Hormetics Increase Homeodynamics Through Exercise Aging, senescence, and death are the final manifestations of the failure of homeodynamics.  When you don't adapt, then you bring on death much faster in the form of senescence cells.  Molecular, cellular, and physiological pathways of repair.  If we nail this principle, then we live longer and healthier.  Exercise is the best way to increase homeodynamics.  We need stress to become better.    [11:25] How Do I Know My Hormetic Zone When It Comes To Exercise?  If you haven't exercised in a while, then you'll be sore the next day. That means you went over the hormetic zone.  You can either exercise too little, or you can stress your body too much.  People want to exercise when they're sick; however, your body's ability to adapt to stress is very low during sickness.  If you feel tired the next day, then you are doing too much exercise.  You need to get your body to adapt to higher levels of stress.    [16:40] Examples of Physical Hormetins That Will Create Stress  These are examples of hormetins that will create stress: Heat has been shown to mimic the effects of exercise on the body.  Cold activates protective brown fat in the body and can lead to weight loss.  Exercising in the cold is especially beneficial.  Low-dose radiation enhances the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells.  It will also regulate the negative effects of the immune response by inhibiting the transformation of immature DCs to mDCs.  Thermal shock Strength and stamina exercises Low-Dose Radiation  Gravity Covid Repetitive stress  Temperature change forces adaptation by altering the microbiome, causing a hormonal shift.    [26:20] Fasting Is A Stress That Applies To Hormesis  Fasting is one of the most significant stressors that we can apply to hormesis.  When you understand the principle of hormesis, you definitely will look at fasting differently.  A lot of people are fasting too much. If you fast too much, you can decrease immunity and lose muscle.  Fasting shouldn't be the same for everyone – you don't want to over-stress yourself with fasting.    [39:10] Types of Block Fasts and Where Should I Start?  There are benefits to longer fasts.  Water-only fasts have been happening for thousands of years. It's one of the purest forms of fasting. It forces higher levels of autophagy.  You shouldn't do a water fast unless you are fat-adapted or you're experienced with fasting. You should start keto before you start fasting.  Read Beyond Fasting: A Cellular Solution to Break Through Weight Loss Resistance, Slow Aging, and Get Well: https://revelationhealth.com/products/beyond-fasting-by-dr-daniel-pompa/azadi?afmc=azadi [56:10] Fasting For Fertility – Is Intermittent Fasting Safe?   Fasting is the greatest hormetic stress known to man.  We've seen miracles hormonally happen with fasting. However, fasting has to be applied correctly for it to work.  If you're a woman who is looking to be more fertile than the five days right before your cycle would be critical.
