Can ketogenic therapy help college students living with depression? Jeff Volek, PhD, RD, is investigating this question in a pilot study at The Ohio State University, where he is a professor in the Department of Human Sciences. Dr. Volek has been a world-renowned expert in ketogenic diets for more than two decades. He has pioneered critical work raising awareness of how the keto diet can reverse diabetes and metabolic syndrome and enhance athletic performance and recovery. In this interview with Dr. Bret Scher, Dr. Volek discusses his new work exploring ketogenic therapy for depression, including some of the challenges, especially for a college-age population, as well as the immense benefits. The study results so far are extremely promising, with students who maintain ketosis reporting a dramatic improvement in symptoms. Other topics they cover include how metabolic dysfunction underlies most chronic diseases, what a well-formulated keto diet looks like, and the importance of bringing ketogenic therapy into academic programs in dietetics and medicine. Dr. Volek shares that he is unaware of any academic programs that instruct on keto nutrition as a powerful medical intervention–this is a critical step to make metabolic therapies more mainstream.

The powerful impact a Keto Diet can have on mental health conditions, with President of the Baszucki Group, Jan Ellison Baszucki. Claire McDonnell Liu, Nutrition Researcher and Family Health Lab podcast host, in conversation with Jan Ellison Baszucki. Jan shares her son Matt Baszucki's mental ill health journey. At aged only 17 Matt endured a breakdown, with sleeplessness, delusions and mania, and was ultimately diagnosed as suffering with bi-polar. Over five years Matt's journey involved in-patient treatments, emergency hospitalisations, many different drug protocols, specialists, holistic and innovative therapies. Eventually Jan uncovered information on the positive impact a Ketogenic Diet may have for mental ill health conditions. The Baszucki family credit Matt's Keto with an incredible shift in his mental health, allowing Matt to return fully to his personality and full cognitive function -"It's like he doesn't have a mental illness at all now". Jan has been instrumental in forming Metabolic Mind, steering her Baszucki Group philanthropic foundation towards furthering research into metabolic health therapies for mental illness, whilst helping to empower clinicians and families with information and resources to transform mental health options for sufferers. 00:59 Jan's own Keto diet experience 02:11 Changing from low fat foods, thanks to Nina Teicholz book The Big Fat Surprise 03:22 Matt Baszucki's struggle with bipolar 7:23 Working with Dr Chris Palmer to begin a Keto Diet 7:30 Adapting an epilepsy Modified Atkins Diet, supported by Denise Potter Dietician for The Charlie Foundation 08:15 When Jan knew things were improving for Matt 9:00 Matt's commitment to his lifestyle measures to support his mental health: meditation, sleep routine, exercise, alcohol-free, along side his whole foods ketogencic diet. 11.20 Measuring and tracking Matt's ketones and macronutrients to ensure consistently in ketosis 13:34 Getting Matt back - to full independence, executive funcion getting his brain to work fully 14:50 Trying over 29 medications, working with 40+ specialists, and trying multiple therapies - most of which didn't work 17:00 Finding out about a Keto Diet by accident, not from the professionals treating ther son 20:02 Angry families channelling hope for the world with research into metabolic dietary therapies 22:36 A diet can resolve serious mental ill health - astonishing results from trials for keto for schitzophrenia, brain based disorders, pschiatry, neurology 24:53 Beginnings of the Baszucki Group mental health research and advocacy work: funding Dr Iain Campbell's bipolar trials in Scotland, supporting Dr Georgia Ede's metabolic therapy research 25:45 How the floating of David Baszucki's company, Roblox, allowed the Baszucki family to help fund mental health research 26:38 Jeff Volek's Ohio State University Ketogenic diet trial for depression 27:20 Prof Zoltan Sarnyai's pilot trial into Ketogenic diet schizophrenia at James Cook University, Australia. 28:16 Public education to transform clinical care with Bret Scher, formerly of Diet Doctor, is leading the Metabolic Mind YouTube Chanel, podcast and website as Director Case studies and trials in other mental health areas, including: Anorexia, ADHD, PTSD, Alcoholism, Depression, and Alcoholism

Dr. Jeff Volek has been investigating how humans adapt to ketogenic—and carbohydrate-restricted diets for the past 30 years.  Today, Jeff returns to STEM-Talk to discuss a growing accumulation of studies supporting a ketogenic diet as a way to improve metabolic health, as well as research confirming the relative safety of dietary fat. Jeff is a professor in the Department of Human Sciences at Ohio State University. He is known for his research on the clinical application of ketogenic diets in the management of insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes. His research particularly aims to understand individual variability, including how well-formulated ketogenic diets alter fatty acid composition, lipoprotein metabolism, gut microbiome and overall metabolic health. Jeff has performed several prospective diet studies that demonstrate that well-formulated ketogenic diets result in substantial improvements in (if not complete reversal of) metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes. In today's episode, we talk to Jeff about: -- How a well-formulated ketogenic diet results not only in weight loss, but also leads to substantial improvements in insulin resistance as well as improvements in a number of cardio-metabolic biomarkers associated with metabolic syndrome. -- The remarkable progress that has been made in the science of low-carbohydrate nutrition in the past 30 years. -- How Jeff's research has expanded to look at a well-formulated ketogenic diet's potential in the treatment of mental health, heart disease and cancer. -- An initiative Jeff is conducting to address how the poor metabolic health of the nation is impacting our military troops and therefore poses a significant threat to the future of the military and our nation's defense. -- We also ask Jeff about his thoughts on the recent popularity of fasting and time-restricted eating.  We then ask what his own daily dietary intake looks like. Show notes [00:02:48] Ken opens the interview welcoming Jeff back to STEM-Talk. Ken mentions that Jeff, who appeared on episode 43,  has perhaps published more research on the ketogenic diet and its effects on humans than anyone. While most STEM-Talk listeners are familiar with Jeff's research, Ken points out that many people might not know that Jeff was once an accomplished powerlifter, achieving impressive numbers for his body weight. Ken asks Jeff what his best lifts were, and if his background in powerlifting inspired him to study exercise physiology. [00:05:25] Dawn mentions there is a paradigm shift in terms of low-carb diets and the public perception regarding the relative safety of dietary fat.  Americans have long been led to believe that saturated fats lead to obesity and heart disease. Dawn goes on to explain that in the last 20 years, there has been a steady accumulation of studies supporting carbohydrate restriction as well as the relative safety of dietary fat. Jeff addressed this in a paper in Science titled “Dietary Fat: From Foe to Friend?”, and also a paper in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology titled “Saturated Fats and Health: A Reassessment and Proposal for Food Based Recommendations” Dawn asks Jeff to talk about this research and what listeners should take from it. [00:08:37] Ken mentions that Jeff at one point in his life demonized fat, and was a strong advocate for low-fat diets. Ken asks what changed his mind on this issue. [00:10:04] Dawn mentions that when Jeff was interviewed back in 2017, he was in the early stages of launching Virta, a company that was founded in 2014 to address the type-2 diabetes epidemic that we're seeing in the United States and across the world. Dawn asks Jeff to explain what type-2 diabetes is and how it's different than type-1. [00:13:36] Ken explains that diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower-limb amputation. In light of this, Ken asks Jeff if we know how many deaths can be annually attri...

Episode 2216 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Stephen Cunnane and they discuss brain development and fats, taking care of your brain, supplements, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/taking-care-your-brain-dr-stephen-cunnane-episode-2216 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TAKING CARE OF YOUR BRAIN Vinnie starts the show by sharing how he heard about Dr. Stephen Cunnane through Dr. Mary Newport, who has been on the show recently. (1:45) Dr. Steven Cunnane talks a bit about his book, The book discusses brain development in babies and the need for healthy fats. (6:00) It also discusses how various nutrients play the part in various ways in human evolution.  The big question Vinnie and Stephen discuss is: are you taking care of your brain? (15:00) Or are you letting it rot with what you are eating? Vinnie's interest in the brain comes from taking years of beatings playing football; as a result, he's curious about CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). (16:00) Stephen says it's never too late to be able to make improvements; the question becomes "what can you do"? (21:25) Part of the challenge is the parameters given to doctors that make them hesitant to suggest low-carb. Mark Cucazzella is brought up as an example. The two discuss the movie "First Do No Harm", by Jim Abrams of the Charlie Foundation. (25:05) Charlie's doctors wanted to give him a lobotomy for his seizures; instead, they controlled his epilepsy with the ketogenic diet. They also discuss Eric Westman, Jeff Volek, Steve Phinney, Tim Noakes, and others and what an important part they play in low-carb science. They switch to discuss certain limitations of the current healthcare systems. (29:50) Certain low-carb doctors are walking away from standard practice so they can actually practice health care and not sick care. ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS Vinnie and Stephen also discuss what zinc and other minerals are optimal for the brain and how they help. (34:10) They discuss iodine, zinc, selenium, and certain deficiencies. They chat about the best sources of various nutrients. More is not always better, and Dr. Cunnane explains why. Don't over-intellectualize it: just eat sensibly. The conversation leads to a discussion about omega fatty acids, cholesterol, and ketones, and how the brain needs them. (46:30) There is still plenty to learn about cognitive decline and Alzheimer's; a lot of questions remain! (51:00) But there is more to it than diet and diabetes; social interaction, looking forward to things, and exercise seem to play a part as well in keeping a healthy brain. Conflicts of interest in science and medicine muddy up the waters of good information. (55:00) Dr. Cunnane has been awarded a research chair position at his university; as a result, the research will focus on ketotherapeutics. (1:01:30) They'll be studying ketogenic interventions of all sorts for mental illness, neurodegenerative disorders, and more.

Our interview today is with Dr. Vyvyane Loh, a board-certified physician in obesity and internal medicine. She is the founder and leader of Transform Alliance for Health, a Boston preventive-care practice that  specializes in weight management and the treatment of chronic metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. She and her staff are known for helping people lose 50 pounds or more and getting their type-2 diabetic patients off their many medications. Vyvyane has spent her medical career developing expertise in immunology, metabolic syndrome, fat metabolism, clinical nutrition, and preventive medicine. In today's interview, we discuss how abdominal, or visceral, fat is linked to a wide range of metabolic disorders. Vyvyane goes on to explain how there's a clearcut association between obesity and decreased brain volume that rarely gets discussed. When her overweight patients complain about their behavior around food and how they consistently give in to snacks that patients know are bad for them, Vyvyane explains how the challenges they are facing is often a result of the brain struggling with decreased blood flow and the shrinkage of neurons. Vyvyane also shares how a patient asked Vyvyane if she knew anything about the Atkins diet, and although she didn't, Vyvyane ended up doing the diet along with her patient. This led Vyvyane to start seriously researching whether a ketogenic diet could help people not only lose weight, but also reverse chronic disease. Toward the end of today's interview, we explore Vyvyane's interest in macrophages, which are specialized cells involved in the detection and destruction of bacteria and other harmful organisms. We also have a nice discussion about how Vyvyane took some time off from practicing medicine to enroll in the writing program at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina in 1999. She spent the next two years writing a novel, “Breaking the Tongue.”  Set in Singapore during World War II, her book was nominated for the prestigious International IMPAC Award in fiction and was selected by the New York Public Library as one of its top 25 books of 2004. If you are interested in finding out more about Vyvyane, check out her website, vyvyanelohmd.com. Also, Vyvyane launched a podcast this week, which you also can find on her website. Episode one looks at “Metabolism: What It Is, And How It Affects Your Health.” If you enjoy today's interview with Vyvyane and the many other interviews we've had on STEM-Talk discussing the treatment and prevention of chronic metabolic diseases, you may want to check out the upcoming virtual conference on Targeting Metabesity. Our cohost Dr. Ken Ford will be one of nearly 70 speakers, including many former guests on STEM-Talk, talking about the growing evidence that the major chronic diseases of the day share common metabolic roots and as a result may also share common solutions. To find out more about the conference, follow this link to the Targeting Metabestiy home page where you find a program guide and list of speakers.

For years, there have been long-standing debates on what aspects of our food cause obesity. Most healthcare guidelines advise us to follow a high-carb, low-fat diet. But recent findings of nutrition research reveal that this way of eating is not the most effective method to lose weight, nor does it prevent chronic illnesses. And instead of leading a healthy lifestyle, we are eating ourselves to death. In this episode, Prof David Harper joins us to share the benefits of keto on our health. He also explains why the high-carb, low-fat diet doesn't work and how it ironically leads to weight gain and diseases. Finally, he shares tips on what to eat to start a healthy lifestyle and how keto can help us achieve this purpose.  Check out this episode and find out the benefits of keto and which diet could help you lead a healthy lifestyle and help prevent chronic illnesses.   Get Customised Guidance for Your Genetic Make-Up For our epigenetics health programme, all about optimising your fitness, lifestyle, nutrition and mind performance to your particular genes, go to  https://www.lisatamati.com/page/epigenetics-and-health-coaching/.

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Learn why it's unhealthy to follow a low-carb, high-fat diet    Understand the importance of avoiding highly processed food and sugar    Discover the three axes of illness  Resources   Gain exclusive access and bonuses to Pushing the Limits Podcast by becoming a patron!  Read BioDiet by David Harper   BioDiet website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram   Check out the Keto Salt Lake   Alzheimer's Disease Is Type 3 Diabetes by Suzanne de la Monte and Jack Wands   The Lancet: Global Burden of Disease   Contact David LinkedIn | Twitter  Episode Highlights [02:56] Dr David's Background Dr  David switched his research focus to the therapeutic benefits of keto for chronic diseases ten years ago. His recent research collaboration with Dr Jeff Volek looked into the benefits of ketogenic diets for women with metastatic breast cancer.  Like many others, Dr David thought it was healthy to have a high-carb, low-fat diet.  Dr David's book, BioDiet, was made for a layperson to understand the benefits of ketogenic diets [05:05] Debunking High-Carb, Low-Fat Diet  The high-carb, low-fat diet is an experiment conducted by health bureaucrats on millions of North Americans for years.  Exercise is good for the body, but it's not the key to losing weight. Instead, people must focus on their diet to shed off some pounds.  Obesity is your body's physiological reaction to excess carbohydrates in your diet. Tune in to know how David came to this realisation through a radio show!  [09:06] Why Ancel Keys Is Wrong Ancel Keys is an American physiologist who discovered that, supposedly, high saturated fat and cholesterol cause heart diseases.  While his hypothesis seems intuitive, there is no evidence to prove Keys' statement.  It's incorrect to consider calories as the primary contributor to weight loss or gain. It's the food's effect on your metabolism that matters.  The health industry is now revisiting the high-fat, low-carb model due to recent studies revealing sugar and smoking as the primary causes of heart disease and not fat.     [13:56] Obesity in America The rise of obesity rate in America happened during the 1980s when it released its first dietary guidelines on a high-carb, low-fat diet The benefits of keto are therapeutic; it's not a fad. It's difficult to gather all relevant data debunking fat as unhealthy; Proving a nutritional intervention prevents disease means controlling the diet of 1000 people for decades. Studies show that a ketogenic diet is an effective intervention for some chronic illnesses.   [19:12] On Starting a Ketogenic Diet  Always consult with your physician first before trying a ketogenic diet.  Some might experience mild side effects because of their changing metabolism.  There are multiple benefits of keto: weight loss, fair skin complexion, protection from chronic diseases, and more. [22:29] The Factors of Illness Chronic diseases and cardiovascular diseases are interrelated.  Another one of the benefits of keto is as a therapeutic intervention for neurological disorders. Insulin resistance, inflammation, and obesity are the axes of illness. Listen to the whole episode to learn how these three factors result in chronic diseases.  Most doctors treat the symptoms and not the disease. The root of diseases is at the cellular metabolic level.  [27:00] Poor Metabolic Health Amid the Pandemic Most people who contracted COVID-19 are those with poor metabolic health. If we could solve the public's diet problem, we could reduce the burden on hospitals.  There are no definitive findings that keto can help decrease the risk of contracting COVID-19. However, studies show promising results on how it can boost one's immune system against the virus.  [33:52] The Benefits of Keto  Most postmenopausal women with chronic illnesses found that the benefits of keto include working against brain fog. Ketone is a cleaner brain fuel and causes less inflammation.  Switching to a keto diet activates the essential proteins for a healthy brain.  [38:18] On Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer's is a form of type three diabetes or insulin resistance of the brain.    Suzanne de la Monte's study found that exogenous ketones called MCT oil can improve the cognitive function of people with Alzheimer's disease.  Ketones improve health and brain function.  [42:16] The Global Burden of Disease Diet is the primary global burden of disease.  Approximately a sixth of the calories young people take in America is fructose. To maintain a healthy life, avoid highly processed food and sugar.  [45:08] Why Natural is Not Always Good For You Not all plants are good for our bodies and minds.  Plants don't exist for good health. They're there to do whatever it takes to survive.  The plants we eat today are not the same as our ancestors ate 50 years ago. [48:56] Getting the Trend Right  Reduce your sugar, high glycemic index carbohydrates, flour, and the like to see great results on your health.  It's okay to eat some treats, but you have to be conscious about it. There must be a limit set to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  [53:32] Keto Flu  Keto flu involves having cravings for food that you previously consumed.  In the first phase, it's good to take MCT oil to help familiarise your body with the ketones.  It's good to take lots of magnesium and potassium iIf you don't have any kidney problems.  Some might experience side effects when starting the keto diet. These include nausea, changes in stomach acid, brain fog, sleep disturbance, and the like.  Adapting to a keto diet decreases your insulin level that subsequently reduces your body water.   [55:57] Fully Adapting to Keto The side effects of the keto diet may last for a couple of days. However, you'll feel a sudden boost of energy once you get over the keto flu.  It's not advisable to cycle in and out of keto.  The best lifestyle decision you can make every day is on what's the end of your fork.  7 Powerful Quotes [10:48] ‘When you consider the calories to be the cause of weight loss or gain, you're going down the wrong road. It's the effect of the foods you eat on your metabolism—in particular, I would argue, on your hormone balance and insulin.'    [23:07] ‘If you're insulin resistant, you become more inflamed and more obese. If you're more obese, you become more insulin resistant. So they make each other worse…eventually, it results in a state of poor metabolic health that will then manifest itself…as one of these chronic diseases.'    [24:05] ‘The thing is you're treating the symptom, not the disease. So the disease is at the cellular metabolic level.'    [27:00] ‘If you look at the people that are having bad COVID outcomes, those are people with poor metabolic health—that is absolutely known. So if we can improve the overall metabolic health of the public, we would reduce the burden on our hospitals again.'   [35:44] 'What happens is you put these stressors on your cells to change its metabolism and that turns the genes on.'   [40:32] 'So we're realising that the ketones don't just provide optimal health. They might actually even improve brain function over and above what you expect.'   [45:52] ‘Plants aren't there for good health. They're there to do whatever it is that makes the plant more successful.' About Prof David Harper Prof David Harper is a health educator, researcher, and technology CEO.

On today's episode of the LLVLC Show, Jimmy breaks down why the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity needs serious consideration. “I still want to see that study comparing a junk food high-carb diet with steak and vegetables.” - Jimmy Moore GET STARTED WITH THE KETO CHOW STARTER BUNDLE at  JimmyLovesKetoChow.com   In today's episode, Jimmy presents a NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN episode of his show JIMMY MAKES SCIENCE SIMPLE (@jimmymakessciencesimple) to outline important new research he wanted you to know about. It's a study published in the September 2021 issue of the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition entitled “The carbohydrate-insulin model: a physiological perspective on the obesity pandemic”: https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ajcn/nqab270/6369073 This study presents a virtual who's who in the keto nutritional health research space with some very familiar names, including Dr. David Ludwig, Dr. Arne Astrup, Dr. Ronald Krauss, Gary Taubes, Dr. Jeff Volek, Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. William Yancy, and more! They propose a series of studies to challenge the “eat less, move more” theory to compare it with the carbohydrate-insulin model for obesity. These researchers make a compelling argument that a low-glycemic load diet (low-carb, ketogenic nutrition) should be seriously examined to help resolve the obesity pandemic. It's a thought-provoking perspective that you'll hear all about in this podcast.

In this episode of Jimmy Makes Science Simple on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy tackles a study that looks into whether a combination of exogenous ketones and hypocaloric keto can increase fat loss. “You have to continuously drink ketones to maintain the levels in your blood.” Jimmy Moore Welcome to Jimmy Moore’s brand new show JIMMY MAKES SCIENCE SIMPLE where he breaks down the latest nutritional health studies into language that makes them easier for you to understand and apply to your life.⁣ Today we have a fantastic March 24, 2021 study published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition entitled “The Effects of a 6-Week Controlled, Hypocaloric Ketogenic Diet, With and Without Exogenous Ketone Salts, on Body Composition Responses.” READ THE STUDY HERE: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2021.618520/full Dr. Jeff Volek and his team of fellow researchers at The Ohio State University wanted to see if there was any difference in fat loss and other body composition changes with the addition of exogenous ketones twice daily over a 6-week period with a hypocaloric ketogenic diet vs. a ketogenic diet with a placebo (a low-fat group was also added as a control). The theory is that supplementing with additional beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) would result in muscle preservation as well as an increase in body fat loss over keto alone. But that’s not what happened. ⁣ There was no difference in weight loss or fat loss between the groups and after the first two weeks there was no difference in blood ketone concentrations. In other words, the endogenous production took over after adaptation and provided all the benefits they needed. Gee, imagine that! Anyone pushing exogenous ketone supplements on you as a weight loss tool REALLY need to read this study and realize just how much they are lying to their clients and customers. Don’t fall for the marketing gimmicks and the sad sob stories of how their life has been changed because they drink ketones. You can make all the ketones you need endogenously through carbohydrate restriction. Nuff said! Thanks to our sponsors Athletic Greens, Keto Chow,and Paleo Valley.

Intermittent and extended water fasting has a great deal of momentum on the internet and I wanted to share with you some of the concepts to consider exploring in your life to gain the benefits associated with such strategies to improve your vitality and overall wellbeing. I share four books and authors that you can search on the internet and especiall youtube as they all have a stong presence on social media outlets. First some concepts Intermittent Fasting is Eating Less Often and giving your body a shorter window of consuming caloric foods and a longer period of rest and digest. An example would be to consume food and caloric beveraes within an 6, 8 or 10 hour period leaving 18, 16 or 14 hours for you digestive system to rest. Intermittent fasting is the beginning of Metabolic Rehabilitation to restore your metabolism to burn and efficiently utilize Ketones (a by product of burning fat) as a fuel source; especially prefered by the Brain and Heart Diet Variation: Once adapted to fat burning and utilizing Ketone we may want to mix up our diet variation with a fasting and feasting cycle. We may have an intermittent cycle of 6 hours of feeding and 18hours of fasting 3x per week, 2 feast days where we consume a little more carbohydrates of more protein and say two days of 1 meal only or a 24 hour fasting day. Remember this is an artistic practice and you can play around with this concept. Extended water fasting is ideally consuming water only for 3,5 , 7, or more days with 5 being scientifically accepted as the best amount of days to shoot for especially for beginners. Also, it would be wise to fat adapted before venturing into the extended water fast and therefore, practicing intermittent fasting for 5, 6 or more weeks. To help you know if you are becoming fat adapted it is necessary to measure blood glucose levels and ketone levels. I use a keto-mojo for this purpose. During my fast this week I measured BG -81 and Ketones - 3.0 with a Keto Index of 1,5 which is a deep state of autophagy or nutritional ketosis. Extended water fasting has three phases The preparatory phase - get you mind right, get your home and environment right and get your support right The fasting phase - listen to your body and mind. You may need to make some modifications so you can roll with this and not create a huge stressful event where you will yourself through it in pride. The goal is practice not perfection The post phase - very important as to not consume lots of food or carbohydrates or sugars! This could be a disaster leading you to be really sick. It is all about metabolic rehabilitation and down regulating leptin and insulin surges thus blood sugar control, increasing insulin sensitivity, down regulating inflammation, improving gut and immune system function, anti-aging, and numerous other benefits. If you find that you have difficulty with either intermittent fasting or extended water fasting consider you might have high levels of stored cellular toxicity. And this may need to be addressed along the way.

Could your genetics determine which keto plan will work best for you? We talk all about this in Episode 1704 of JIMMY RANTS on the LLVLC Show. “Just telling people to go keto is not enough. We need to know what kind of keto is going to work for that person.” -Jimmy Moore On today’s episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I share a newly published paper in the journal BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health by Dr. Lucia Aronica, Dr. Jeff Volek, Dr. Angela Poff (@angelapoff), and Dr. Dominic D’Agostino (@dominic.dagostino.kt) entitled “Genetic variants for personalised management of very low carbohydrate ketogenic diets” (LINK TO STUDY: Genetic variants for personalised management of very low carbohydrate ketogenic diets | BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health​). They put out the call for clinicians and researchers to look more closely at individual patient genetics to determine the effectiveness of using a ketogenic diet therapy. With all the genetic testing at our disposal nowadays, this seems like a logical next step in creating an environment for people to be successful in their weight and health goals. This is hot off the presses and so important! ENJOY!

“The model of medicine where you base treatment of patients on statistics and epidemiology- what works for most people- we felt like we could do better as a society and as a group of physicians, and that's what took us down the route of creating Wild Health and focusing on precision medicine.” - Dr. Matthew Dawson, Wild Health CEO Can human performance be optimized by tailoring medical care to each patient's unique genetic makeup? Matt Dawson, MD and Mike Mallin, MD are the co-founders of Wild Health, a healthcare clinic using a genomics-based personalized medicine approach. Dr. Dawson has been a life-long athlete focused on optimizing performance.  He received scholarships to play two sports in college even with self-professed "minimal talent" because of his voracious reading and implementation of any fitness or nutritional techniques that would give him an edge.  He continued that obsession into medical school at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, and as a physician he has won numerous national awards for education, innovation, and leadership. Dr. Mallin has been in medical practice for 10 years, but obsessed with health, physical performance, and longevity his entire life. He attended the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and currently practices in Bend, Oregon. Dr. Mallin is board certified in emergency medicine and has completed a fellowship in point-of-care ultrasound. Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin met during their Emergency Medicine residency in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they bonded over their life-long passion for optimizing performance.  Throughout their residency, they continuously self-experimented with nutrition, fitness, and recovery techniques to give themselves a competitive edge. Together they have gone on to grow several businesses, create apps, and author two textbooks.  Most recently they founded Wild Health where they use a medical approach rooted in the lessons they learned during their time self-experimenting as residents. Wild Health utilizes a team of medical professionals to look at an individuals unique genetics, lab results, microbiome, and lifestyle factors in order to craft a precision treatment plan that fits the patient's health, fitness, and longevity goals. I recently had the opportunity to appear on Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin's Wild Health podcast, and I was excited to catch up with them at their home base in Lexington, Kentucky to have them as guests on Pursuing Health.  We talked about how they became interested in genomics and personalized medicine, how using an objective Health Score can motivate patients to make lifestyle changes, and the processes they're implementing to make precision treatment plans the future of medicine. In this episode we discuss: Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin's backgrounds in health and fitness, and why they decided to go into medicine How Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin met and some of the adventures they shared during residency The nutrition and biohacking they experimented with as they went through their medical training How Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin came to recognize that genomics were integral to practicing medicine What personalized medicine/genomics-based medicine means What the patient process looks like Using an objective Health Score to help motivate patients and give them a way to track progress How Wild Health uses health coaches to be more hands-on with their patients The Wild Health Fellowship The tipping point that allowed them to go all-in with Wild Health, and what their vision for the future looks like Three things Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin do on a regular basis that have the biggest positive impact on their health One thing they struggle to implement that could have a big impact on their health What a healthy life looks like to Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin You can follow Wild Health on their website, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

In this episode we talk about Carnivore vs. Vegan experiments, building muscle on keto, low carb/keto and CrossFit, metabolic flexibility, exogenous ketones, and ayahuasca. “If your goal is to build muscle, you don't need to, nor should you, be on a therapeutic ketogenic diet where you're eating 90% fat. That's not supportive of your goal which is to build muscle and I think that's where it comes down to context.” Dr. Ryan Lowery Top Takeaways: Be willing to test theories by experimenting and testing for yourself. Keto vs. veganism, carnivore, and Atkins diets. Why a strict keto diet may not be the best if your goal is to build muscle or compete in sports like CrossFit..and what you should focus on instead. The ability to utilize metabolic flexibility for health, sport, and lifestyle. The truth about exogenous ketones. Show Notes: [5:00] Ryan and Rachel met at the NSCA national conference in 2016 [7:30] Ryan was in school for Physical Therapy but changed trajectory when he found research on  the ketogenic diet in 2011 through Dr. Jeff Volek [8:30] Dr. Volek examines the ketogenic diet for endurance athletes [8:30] Ryan did the first study on resistance athletes, ketogenic diet, and body composition [9:00] Ryan founded the Applied Science Performance Institute (ASPI) [10:30] Ryan talks about his experience with the Carnivore diet, incorporating lots of organ meat, salt, and ghee to achieve maximum results [13:00] An all meat diet does not result in muscle loss, adverse effects on blood, or unhealthy microbiome [11:35] Ryan’s experiment going vegan for one month led to significant lean muscle loss [20:00] Ryan’s study on building muscle on the keto diet [22:00] “The question is, do you need to be 100% keto, all the time, 24/7, 365? Is that ideal for building muscle? … I don’t necessarily think that is the case.” [24:00] Keto is different from Atkins diet in that it achieves a metabolic state of ketosis [27:00] Dual fuel advantages for many different types of athletes [28:30] “Even some of these elite CrossFit athletes, regardless of their diet, they're likely inducing ketosis through exercise by how many calories they're burning in general.” [31:00] Ryan’s research on traumatic head injuries suggests difficulty in implementing keto [34:00] Beware of “miracle pill” Exogenous ketones, which are ineffective [37:00] Esters are a longer chain liquid form of ketone, they are effective but “... the taste is brutal… like gin from great-great-great grandfather.” Salts are a good alternative. [40:30] For Ryan’s experience with ayahuasca go to his Youtube channel  [44:30] Ryan’s advice for young entrepreneurs: “Find something that sets your soul on fire… then the key is aligning yourself with like-minded people.” [51:00] Ryan recommends keeping a daily gratitude journal to stay grounded --- Join the FREE MetFLex Life course: www.metflexandchill.com Rachel Gregory (@rachelgregory.cns) is a Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and Author of the best-selling book, 21-Day Ketogenic Diet Weight Loss Challenge.

Jeff Browning is an ultrarunner who goes by the nickname of Bronco Billy.  He has over 120 ultramarathons on his running resume. He has recently been listed by Utrarunning Magazine www.ultrarunning.com as one of the Top 10 Ultrarunners. Jeff is an ultrarunning coach.    This is Episode 71 of the Mile after Mile Podcast. This is a slightly different type of interview because the focus of the interview is not a single extreme event. Jeff and I don’t just discuss one race we discuss his personal nutrition journey and how he has fueled his ultrarunning over the years.   What is an ultramarathon? How did Jeff get his start in Ultrarunning? Why run a 100 mile race? Odds of getting into the Western States 100  www.wser.org Some nice things about Bend, Oregon where Jeff called home for several years. Balancing living in Montana and balancing running with marriage and family.  Jeff and his wife’s nutrition journey. He has been a vegetarian, he has followed a whole-foods diet, nutrivore diets he has worked with a paleo diet and a low-carb high fat diet, keto optimized fat metabolism.  Why Jeff says he is not a Keto-athlete and how he uses (and coaches) using strategic carbohydrates for performance.  We talk specifics about how Jeff actually eats daily and leading up to and through an actual race.  Specific issues Jeff has noticed while coaching women training for endurance events and a Keto or Low Carbohydrate diets. Jeff shares how he uses caffeine strategically as he fuels his ultramarathons. Guidelines for sports nutrition from the International Society of Sports Nutrition ISSN https://www.sportsnutritionsociety.org/ What to eat when you come into an ultramarathon rest stops to avoid gut bombs or what he calls garbage gut. Jeff talks about farming and sourcing foods. We close with chatting about where his nickname of Broco Billy comes from.   Books mentioned: Nourishing Traditions by Mary Enig https://www.amazon.com/Nourishing-Traditions-Challenges-Politically-Dictocrats/dp/0967089735/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3C632CX8VROH4&keywords=nourishing+traditions&qid=1583750262&sprefix=nourishing+traditi%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-1   The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy/dp/1451624433/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1JXLA4ZENO8TB&keywords=the+big+fat+surprise+by+nina+teicholz&qid=1583750696&sprefix=the+big+fat+surprise%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1   Primal Blueprint by Marc Sisson https://www.amazon.com/Primal-Blueprint-Mark-Sisson/dp/193956347X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1AQEX78L2WWJ&keywords=primal+blueprint+book&qid=1583750852&sprefix=Primal+Blueprint%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1   The Art and Science of Low Carb Living and the Art and Science of Low Carb Performance by Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek  https://www.amazon.com/Art-Science-Low-Carbohydrate-Living/dp/0983490708/ref=sr_1_2?crid=8L1QP0AR47RJ&keywords=the+art+and+science+of+low+carbohydrate+living&qid=1583750805&sprefix=the+art+and+s%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-2   The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Kieth  https://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Myth-Food-Justice-Sustainability/dp/1604860804/ref=sr_1_1?crid=325YT82Q3RAMN&keywords=the+vegetarian+myth&qid=1583752933&sprefix=the+vegetarian%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-1   The Omnivores Dilemna by Michael Pollan https://www.amazon.com/Omnivores-Dilemma-Natural-History-Meals/dp/0143038583/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1TFXFOIYEPL7A&keywords=the+ominvore%27s+dilemma&qid=1583753071&sprefix=the+omin%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-1   Amy Says:  Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver but I think it’s actually called Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JYX7LKU/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i7   Races Mentioned: Run up for Air https://upforairseries.org/ Western States 100 Run Rabbit Run https://www.runrabbitrunsteamboat.com/ Hellbender 100 https://www.hellbender100.com/   Products Mentioned:  Vespa Power https://vespapower.com/  Gu Energy https://guenergy.com/ You can find Jeff Browning at www.gobroncobilly.com and on Social Media @gobroncobilly. ----------------------------------------------- You can find all the episodes of the Mile after Mile Podcast at www.mileaftermilepodcast.com  You can find the host Amy at www.amysaysso.com

Episode Notes More than likely, you've heard about, tried, or know someone who's tried to a ketogenic diet, so we had to bring the science behind keto to HealthFormation! In today's episode, we chat with (newly licensed!) physician assistant, Andrea, about her experience with keto and we break down a meta analysis on longer-term outcomes of patients using this diet.As with all diets, there are healthy and less-healthy ways to follow a ketogenic diet. We break down the healthiest ways to follow keto and what health outcomes can be expected.Very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet v. low-fat diet for long-term weight loss: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.Keto resources discussed in today's episode include: Recipes (Keto and Paleo included) I Breathe I'm Hungry Dr. Stephen Phinney, blog Dr. Jeff Volek, Art and Science of Low Carb Dr. Eric Westman, YouTube

James McCarter, MD, PhD. is a researcher and author of over 60 scientific publications and patents. He recently led research and clinical operations for San Francisco-based Virta Health, a nationwide medical provider that delivers the first clinically-proven treatment to safely and sustainably reverse type 2 diabetes without medications or surgery. Dr. McCarter recently directed the Virta - Indiana University Health clinical trial demonstrating reversal of diabetes using nutritional ketosis and guided behavior change. This trial has resulted in changes to the American Diabetes Association Standards of Care and consensus statement on nutrition in 2019, reflecting the benefit of low-carbohydrate diets.  In this podcast, James discusses the results that have emerged from this research and the incredible outcomes Virta is demonstrating in helping people reverse their type-2 diabetes and improve cardiac risk markers. He also talks about the five facets of treatment behind Virta’s success, and the business model they employ to make treatment more widely available.  Dr McCarter recently spoke at the AACE (American Association of Clinical Endocrinology) meeting in Kansas City on ketosis for T2D.

Why low-carb, high-fat eating is the healthiest kind and how to go about itWelcome to Amy Alkon's HumanLab: The Science Between Us, a weekly show with the luminaries of behavioral science. Dietary researcher Dr. Jeff Volek lays out the science behind why you should declare your independence from dietary carbohydrates -- sugar, flour, starchy vegetables like potatoes, apple juice -- that cause the insulin secretion that puts on fat. Not only that, he explains why eating enough fat -- the right kind of fat -- is essential to getting and staying healthy.Dr. Michael Eades calls Dr. Volek's book (co-authored with Dr. Stephen Phinney) "the best low-carb book in print."Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-8 p.m. Pacific Time, 10-11 p.m. Eastern Time or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.Please buy my "science-help" book, "Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence.

Like the rest of America, the military has ongoing challenges with obesity and physical readiness of its troops. Now an academic study found that a low-carb diet known as ketogenic might help. For what that is and why it might be useful, Jeff Volek, professor of kinesiology at The Ohio State University, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

Today’s podcast guest is Rachelle Martin, a nutritionist who specialises in low carbohydrate (carb) and ketogenic (Keto) diets. Rachelle and I studied our Masters in Human Nutrition at Deakin University together and she alludes to our many interesting discussions and debates during that time. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with Rachelle; her attention to detail and depth of knowledge is apparent in the interview. Rachelle explains the difference between the Paleo and Keto diets, both of which are low carb diets but are significantly different in terms of the ratios of fats, proteins and carbs consumed. Given the current popularity of the diets with celebrities and the like, it can be tempting to lump them into the fad category. However, in relation to the Keto diet, Rachelle explains its scientifically documented anti-inflammatory effects and the numerous benefits that flow from that. In her nutritional practice Rachelle has seen weight loss, the reversal of Type 2 Diabetes, improvements in symptoms of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome and insulin resistance. It is a fascinating area to be practising in.Following are links to some of the information Rachelle mentions during the interview:Dr. Stephen Phinney and Dr. Jeff Volek, Co-Founders of Virta Health: https://blog.virtahealth.comDr. Tim Noakes, Founder of The Noakes Foundation: https://thenoakesfoundation.org/prof-noakesThe Magic Pill is available on Netflix.If you want to connect with Rachelle and you live in Adelaide, you can contact her at her office: Unley Park Nutrition - Telephone: (08) 8373 4944You can also connect with her via Instagram: @rachellemartin69

Dr. Jeff Volek is a registered dietitian and professor in the Department of Human Sciences at the Ohio State University. For the last two decades, he has performed cutting edge research elucidating how humans adapt to diets restricted in carbohydrate with a dual focus on clinical and performance applications. His work has contributed to the existing robust science of ketones and ketogenic diets, their use as a therapeutic tool to manage insulin resistance, plus their emerging potential to augment human performance and resiliency. This research indicates that that well formulated ketogenic diets result in substantial improvements in insulin resistance and the myriad of cardio-metabolic biomarkers associated with metabolic syndrome, including favorable changes in fatty acid composition and saturated fat metabolism, cholesterol and lipoprotein profiles.

Over 20 years ago, Dr. Jeff Volek was taught that high-carb, low-fat diets were the key to optimal nutrition. But, as Dr. Volek soon realized, this diet had just the opposite effect on health. Instead of promoting a better quality of life, high-carb diets have led to incredibly high rates of type 2 diabetes and obesity. It’s even contributed to a national security crisis, as you’ll learn in this podcast episode. As a possible solution, Dr. Volek and his team of researchers started studying nutritional ketosis and they haven’t stopped two decades later. You’ll hear what the latest low-carb diet research supports, where the future is heading, and so much more in this episode. If you’re not familiar with Dr. Volek’s work, he’s a New York Times best-selling author, with five books under his belt. He also has over 300 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and has given 200 lectures across the globe on this topic. As a pioneer in this space, Dr. Volek is a wealth of knowledge and continues to study how nutritional ketosis and exogenous ketones can be beneficial to health. And he shares his latest findings in this episode, which means you don’t want to miss it. Tune in now to learn more!

The men and women who have been put in charge of defending and protecting the United States are in a weight and health crisis. But new research out of The Ohio State University is giving hope that the answer could be found in the most popular diet trend of the day--keto! Read about Dr. Jeff Volek's latest 12-week pilot study published in the journal Military Medicine that showed dramatic weight and health changes using a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic nutritional approach below. Keto Diet Has Potential In Military, Researchers Say: https://scienceblog.com/507328/keto-d... This is welcome news to health podcaster and international bestselling author of KETO CLARITY Jimmy Moore who has long appreciated the research work of Dr. Volek in sharing sound science that supports the idea of nutritional ketosis for a variety of health outcomes.

Dr. Dominic D’Agostino returns to STEM-Talk to give Ken and Dawn an update on his research into ketogenic nutrition. Dom was the guest on episode 14 back in 2016 when ketogenic diets didn’t even show up on a list of the top-10 diets that people Googled. Since then, the search term “ketogenic diet” has risen to the top of the list. In today’s episode, Dom talks about his past 10 years of research into ketogenic diets and what he is learning about the physiological benefits of nutritional ketosis. Dom is tenured associate professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine.He also is a research scientist here at IHMC.Throughout his career, Dom has been a researcher with a diverse background in neuroscience, molecular pharmacology, nutrition and physiology. Show notes: [00:02:55] Dawn begins the interview mentioning that when she and Ken started hosting STEM-Talk, the ketogenic diet wasn’t on the list of the top-10 most Googled diets of 2015. Today, however, Dawn points that ketogenic diet is number one on the list. She asks Dom if he foresaw sudden mass interest in a ketogenic diet coming. [00:04:12] Ken asks Dom for his thoughts on how the ketogenic diet has went from being very obscure to becoming a household term. [00:06:04] Ken comments on the evolutionary component of the ketogenic diet and how our ancestors must have gone in and out of ketosis based on the availability of food. He also comments on the unique aspect of the ketogenic diet, being that it has an objective measurement, and asks Dom to talk about that. [00:06:59] Dawn comments on the cynicism regarding the ketogenic diet, particularly from nutritionists. She asks Dom to address the criticism and pushback that the ketogenic diet receives from so many nutritionists. [00:10:02] Ken mentions that some fields are resistant to change and new science due to the emotion behind established theories. Dom agrees and then talks about how people, even doctors, are resistant to new data and new science. [00:11:13] Dom talks about the most common misconceptions and overrepresentations of the ketogenic diet. [00:12:54] Ken discusses his dissatisfaction with the term “ketogenic diet” since the word diet implies the mandated consumption of certain food items. He goes on to say that if one is in ketosis, then, by definition, they are doing a ketogenic diet, even though they may be in ketosis because they have been fasting and haven’t eaten anything.  Ken and Dom discuss how knowledge about ketogenic nutrition has changed over time and that it is certainly possible to eat an unhealthy ketogenic diet. [00:15:35] Dom and Ken talk about the results of a recent Megan Roberts paper, “A Ketogenic Diet Extends Longevity and Healthspan in Adult Mice,”that showed a 13% increase in the lifespan of the mice along with remarkably improved healthspan. [00:20:26] Dom shares his thoughts on the potential of exogenous ketones in the context of blood glucose regulation. [00:27:07] Ken asks if Dom has been tracking Virta Health, which was founded by Dr. Jeff Volek who was interviewed in STEM-Talk episode 43. Virta Health has been publishing impressive results of its trials that show  people reversing type-2 diabetes via a well-formulated ketogenic diet. [00:29:13] Ken adds that the reported numbers from Virta show 60% to 70% of their patients going off their insulin medication or greatly reducing their insulin levels. [00:30:55] Dawn asks about Dom’s experience going underwater for 10 days in participation of a NASA NEEMO mission. She asks him to talk about his personal experience as well as his background in hyperbaric physiology. [00:32:08] Dom discusses his group’s work replicating the experimental design of his original oxygen toxicity work in aged and obese rats. [00:33:35] Dawn briefly describes what oxygen toxicity is,

Today we have a double header with 2 great figures as well as athletes in the low carb community. Zach Bitter is the 100 mile American record holder and 12 hour world record holder for ultramarathons. He hosts the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Dr. Shawn Baker and has learned many lessons from amazing people along the way. He has wealth of knowledge of fat adapted athletics and fueling himself with meat while healing his body. But first we have Dr. Mark Cucuzzella who is a Professor of Medicine at West Virginia University medical school, Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians, a Family physician for 20 years, and a Lt Col in the US Air Force Reserves. He’s doing such great work in his hospital and community and has implemented some very beneficial programs. He’s a great guy and was a big supporter of the film early on. He brings up that Zach Bitter was actually in the FASTER study that previous podcast guest Dr. Jeff Volek famously did that rewrote the textbooks on fat oxidation. Lot’s of good stuff her beyond running! Thanks again for helping us finish the Indiegogo campaign. We hit our goal, but that certainly wasn’t the amount needed to finish the film. You can still preorder a copy of Food Lies on Indiegogo by clicking through FoodLies.org. Get the limited edition Eat Meat shirt there and check out the other perks - that’s at FoodLies.org. A quick update about me - I just started training for a Decathlon at UCLA. I’m going to do it running on meat and fat. Many of you probably saw the video of me pole vaulting for the first time in over 16 years on social media. This is going to be awesome. Everyone there thinks I’m insane for doing it at 35 while never having done most of the events before, let alone all of them in 2 days at the Masters Championships in Iowa. Also the mostly eating meat, fish, and eggs thing is really tripping them out. Follow along on social media. Also I’ll have a totally unrelated big announcement in the upcoming weeks. Stay tuned - I’m very excited. Now here’s Mark and Zach. http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post Support me on Patreon! http://patreon.com/peakhuman   Show notes Zach Bitter Hosts the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Dr. Shawn Baker He holds the 100 mile American record with an average pace of 7 minutes per mile He also holds the world record for farthest distance run in 12 hours He spent the first half of his running career on the conventional high carb diet that all runners believe is best He followed a whole foods approach with lots of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables - no processed foods or junk food At age 24/25 he was having some bad symptoms that shouldn’t face a young man in his prime He wasn’t sleeping well, he didn’t have sustained energy throughout the day, and had poor recovery after workouts He looked towards nutrition as a cure and found the low carb, high fat diet Got turned on to Dr. Phinney and Dr. Volek early on so he had a solid approach to transitioning into fat-adaptation correctly He transitioned in the off-season and sleep and energy immediately improved Recovery and mobility greatly improved after races once fat-adapted What are some other sports where it’s good to be fat-adapted? It seems to be dependent on how soon you’re going to train again. If it’s only once per day it seems carbs aren't really necessary. 2 sessions per day, probably yes. He only needs carbs when doing intensity plus high volume. Either one separately he doesn't. How he got into the carnivore world He’s done 73 podcast episodes with various experts and has learned a lot 2 big things are that vegetables aren’t really necessary it seems and there’s a lot of myths about protein that are turning out to not be true. There’s probably no such thing as too much protein My ultra simplistic theory is that animal foods are +1, processed foods are -1, and plant foods are just neutral (or 0). Plant foods aren't doing much for you other than taking up space in your stomach from things that could be worse. The real nutrition is from the animal foods. He agrees with this and builds his meals around fatty meat, eggs, and some full fat dairy He ferments his own vegetables If you have digestive problems try doing only animal foods and add stuff back in slowly and carefully to track it Hunter gatherers used to eat (and still do) fermented plant matter out of animal’s stomachs, especially in cold environments when that was their only vegetation Check out the HPO podcast he does with Shawn Baker Zach does running and nutrition coaching - find him at zachbitter.com He’s on twitter at twitter.com/zbitter and Instagram at instagram.com/zachbitter Mark Cucuzzella SHOW NOTES Mark is a doctor in West Virginia doing great things for his community and grew up as a runner He’s appeared in a lot of big news articles and news segments over the years https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/magazine/running-christopher-mcdougall.html https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6112350 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1dyKDrkABc His website https://www.drmarksdesk.com He recently wrote the book Run For Your Life which I’ve read and recommend to any runner https://www.amazon.com/Run-Your-Life-Without-Well-Being/dp/110194630X/ He created the Efficient Running Project for the US Air Force https://www.drmarksdesk.com/usaf-efficient-running He almost made the olympic trials for the marathon but was plagued by injuries and almost quit before taking health into his own hands and also running barefoot or almost barefoot He was able to keep running and has a streak of 30 years of under a 3 hour marathon He opened a running store and has organized tons of runs & events for adults and kids and got the community a lot more active He bought into the low fat high carb diet HUGE waking up at 2am eating more cereal he was so hungry He was in charge of figuring out why people in the Air Force kept failing the fitness tests This was in 2002 and he saw the Gary Taubes article What if it’s All Been a Big Fat Lie? https://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-been-a-big-fat-lie.html As a doctor he always has learned from his patients. He asked auditoriums full of recruits who has lost 50 pounds or more and kept it off for a year? The only answer was “I gave up bread, or I gave up soda, or I did Paleo, or I did Atkins” He also is a professor at WVU writing papers, etc. He started a program at his hospital that removed all sugary drinks 80% of people in a hospital have insulin resistance and/or metabolic syndrome why would we be giving them a toxin like sugar? The staff supported him in this after getting healthier and losing weight by cutting sugar and carbs He helped get double dollars for food stamps at the farmers market https://youtu.be/k5zptL5c9mI #1 thing purchased with food stamps (now called SNAP) in America is soda!! He’s also starting programs to help people make better choices at dollar stores I think “food deserts” are a myth. It’s just information. You don’t need fresh fruit and veg to be healthy. You can get meat, eggs, and canned fish anywhere in America within a few blocks Food industry and advertisements are working against us EAT Lancet debunking His blog post on this http://naturalrunningcenter.com/2019/01/27/eatlancet/ He’s part of the Nutrition Coalition with Nina Teicholz I grew up running barefoot in Hawaii Human evolution and persistence hunting Daniel Lieberman comes up again who’s the Harvard professor I had an unpleasant call with Running shouldn't be about burning calories it should be about being efficient His comprehensive article on fat adapted running http://naturalrunningcenter.com/2017/02/19/simple-food-rules-2/ Zach was actually part of the FASTER study by Phinney and Volek https://www.metabolismjournal.com/article/S0026-0495(15)00334-0/abstract The textbooks say humans can only oxidize 0.8 grams per minute but in the study they doubled that.

Todo sobre dieta keto para runners. Adaptación a grasa como combustible en corredores. Emma Suárez, Nutricionista certificada y Health Coach nos hablará de: Sus ventajas y desventajas. Tanto para runners como para la población general. Recuerda, puedes escuchar el episodio entero con el reproductor que encuentras a continuación.

Nos puedes encontrar en Stitcher, Spotify, TuneIn y en todas las plataformas de podcast para Android.   ¿Qué es la dieta keto para runners? Realmente una dieta keto para runners no existe. Simplemente se sigue el mismo parámetro de la dieta conocida como cetogénica o keto. Sin embargo, vale la pena entender por qué un corredor estaría interesado en este estricto plan alimenticio. Para comenzar, se busca que el cuerpo ocupe como energía cetonas en lugar de glucosa. Esto se logra manteniendo la ingesta de carbohidratos a un nivel muy bajo. Menos de 30 gramos por día es el nivel máximo permitido. La hipótesis de esta dieta keto para runners es que al haber mayor reservas de grasa comparadas a glucosa, es más inteligente basarse en grasa para correr que en glucosa. Miremos las reservas de energía en el cuerpo:   Bodegas de energía en el cuerpo. Esto se mide en kilocalorías (kcal). En total, tenemos alrededor de 115,000 kcal a nuestra disposición. Sin embargo, estas están presentes en diferentes formas: Grasa (71.8%) 80.000 en tejido adiposo 2.500 en triglicéridos musculares 75 en triglicéridos plasmáticos 7 ácidos grasos libres séricos Proteína (26%) 30.000 en Proteína muscular Carbohidratos (2.19%) 1700 en Glucógeno en músculos 500 en glucógeno en hígado 90 en glucosa en sangre ATP/CP (0.01%) = Trifosfato de adenosina y fosfato de creatina 5 en diferentes órganos Aunque una dieta keto para runners tiene ventajas, examinemos las desventajas que desglosamos en el episodio.   Desventajas: Emma de Sistemma.com.mx nos explico una a una estas desventajas: Mal aliento. Deshidratación. Aumento del colesterol. Caída de pelo y cansancio. Constipación y vómitos temporales. Puede producir piedras en los riñones, pancreatitis y deficiencias de vitaminas y minerales. Y Luis no hablo de algunas desventajas puntuales para los runners: El cuerpo quema carbohidratos y grasa de manera muy diferente. Louise Burke escribió en “Nutrición Deportiva: Mucho más que calorías†que la oxidación de grasa se inhibe en el cuerpo cuando la intensidad es más alta que el 75% de tu máxima capacidad aeróbica. Si sobrepasas esa intensidad, el cuerpo automáticamente cambia a oxidar carbohidratos, ya que la movilización de grasas, la sintetización de glucosa y la glucólisis toman más tiempo de lo que el cuerpo puede mantener un esfuerzo intenso. También, toma 20% mas de oxigeno liberar energía de grasas que de carbohidratos, lo que reduce tu economía. No representa mayor problema ya que tienes bastante energía de donde quemar. Otra desventaja, es la interrupción del entrenamiento. Inicialmente, no tendrás suficiente energía ni de cetonas ni carbohidratos para tu cerebro ni otras tareas del organismo. Por 6 meses lo único que estás mejorando es en la adaptación a grasa. Tiempos, distancias y  recuperación sufren. Percepción de cansancio aumenta. Pérdida de flexibilidad. El hecho que la dieta es tan estricta y comer más de 30 gramos de carbohidratos en un día te puede sacar de cetosis, te quita la habilidad de nutrirte en una carrera con lo que esté disponible. Por diferentes razones,  tu alimentación preparada no puede estar disponible en alguna oportunidad.   Ventajas. Los beneficios de salud de la dieta keto para runners son múltiples. Entre ellos: Baja de peso. Baja los niveles oxidativos del estrés. Reversa enfermedades cardiovasculares y síndrome metabólico. Ayuda con síndrome poliquístico debido a menos ingesta de insulina. Mejora la función cerebral. Retraso del envejecimiento. Ayuda con síndrome de intestino irritable. Disminución de inflamación general. Control de acidez estomacal. Favorece a personas con enfermedad de hígado graso. Menos migrañas. Estabilización de comportamientos bipolares y relacionados al autismo. Mayor facilidad para ayunar. Pacientes con Parkinsons, epilepsia y Alzheimer reportan mejoras. Esclerosis múltiple desapareció en un paciente. Aquí puedes ver el testimonio de la Doctora Terry Walhs. Disminución de acné. Aquí un enlace que soporta varios de estos estudios. Ventajas para runners: Ahora, referente a las ventajas para runners, encontramos: En un estudio del 2015, investigador Jeff Volek de la universidad de Ohio, encontró que atletas que consumen 10% carbohidratos, 20 proteína y 70% grasas eran más de dos veces más eficientes quemando grasa que atletas de la elite que consumían una dieta rica en carbohidratos. Sin embargo, múltiples estudios no han encontrado ninguna ventaja a nivel de rendimiento entre carbohidratos y grasas. Muchos prefieren grasas ya que los hacen sentir más satisfechos y previenen los alto y bajos de azúcar asociados con carbohidratos simples. Corredores adaptados a grasa que compitan a un ritmo parejo, pueden hacerlo por muchas horas consumiendo menos calorías que atletas que se basan en carbohidratos. Por esta razón, resulta una ventaja para personas que sufren de problemas gastrointestinales. Esto sucede porque, durante la práctica de ejercicio por 9 a 24 horas o más, hacen que la digestión en el tracto se reduzca o elimine, creando gases, inflamación y náusea. Sin embargo, esta ventaja, es puesta en tela de juicio por Jason Koop autor de Training Essentials para ultrarunning, quien dice que el sistema gastrointestinal puede ser educado con una correcta planeación y entrenamiento. En sus palabras, cetosis, es una solución complicada a un problema relativamente simple.   ¿Cómo hacer la dieta keto para runners correctamente? Ahora, si después de evaluar las ventajas y desventajas sigues interesado, aquí ciertos recordatorios: Las únicas frutas permitidas son frutos rojos y limón. Algunas nueces son altas en carbs, como: nuez de la india, pistaches, almendras y piñón. Se debe de cuidar su consumo. Se permiten las verduras como: jitomate, espinaca, kale/col rizada, calabacita/zucchini, brócoli, pimiento, ejotes, espárragos, coliflor. Sin embargo, se debe de controlar la porción, Es recomendable una suplementación de vitaminas y minerales. También, llevar este plan de la mano con algún profesional de la salud. Alimentos que debes evitar: Pan, pasta, arroz, betabel/remolacha, papa, quinoa,camote/boniato. Legumbres como frijoles o lentejas, Frutas como  manzana plátano, mango. Controlar el consumo de zanahoria, En cuanto a runners se refiere, Luis nos habló de ciertos pasos que puedes empezar a tomar hoy para lograr una mejor transición cuando decidas irte 100% a la dieta keto para runners: Dieta baja en carbohidratos y alta en grasas saludables. No tienes que regirte por los estrictos 30 gramos pero si empezar a cortar los carbohidratos progresivamente. Entrenar en ayunas. Recuperarte con una dieta baja en carbohidratos. Entrenar doble jornada. Una para gastar todo el glucógeno. La segunda para enseñar al cuerpo a buscar energía de cetonas.   Ejemplo de dieta keto para runners. @Sistemma.Nutricion nos da un ejemplo de un menú en el día de una persona que decida escoger la dieta keto para runners: Desayuno: Huevos fritos en mantequilla con espinacas, aguacate/palta Colación / merienda / snack: Aceitunas o quesos maduros + fresas o frambuesas o nuez pecana o macadamia Almuerzo: Salmón sobre cama de calabacita rallada en forma de espagueti y aderezo de parmesano. Ensalada de espinacas con jitomate cherry con aderezo de aceite de oliva y vinagre. Colación / snack: Crema de coco con cacao en polvo y estevia. Cena: Carnes frías con queso y ensalada de brócoli con aceite de oliva Escucha el episodio completo y decide si la dieta keto para runners es para ti.

At the recent Physicians for Ancestral Health Winter Retreat I had the opportunity to sit down in person with L. Amber O’Hearn, an outspoken advocate of plant-free eating. Since learning about the zero-carb carnivore approach in 2009, Amber has become an international speaker, researcher, and writer on the subjects of ketosis and the health benefits of eating meat. In this podcast, Amber and I discuss her health journey from veganism to low carb, and then to the more radical carnivore diet. She explains how shunning plant foods led to a dramatic improvement in both her physical and mental health, ending her 20-year battle with bipolar disorder, without the use of medication. She also describes her own version of zero-carb and discusses how a carnivore diet affects ketosis.

I talk to a lot of great people on this podcast but this may be the man who really knows this stuff at the deepest level and most qualified to talk about fat adaptation and ketogenic diets & therapies. He has been doing amazing work in this field for such a long time.   Dr. Jeff Volek is a professor, researcher, registered dietitian, and co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Virta Health. For the last two decades, Dr. Volek has performed cutting edge research on how humans adapt to diets restricted in carbohydrates with a dual focus on clinical and performance applications of nutritional ketosis. His scholarly work includes more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and five books, including a New York Times Best Seller, and he has provided more than 200 lectures at scientific and industry conferences around the world. He’s an all around great guy and someone I admire.   He very rarely does interviews so I was honored to spend some time with him. He is busy running his lab at OSU while also being a co-founder of a major health company I mention a lot called Virta. My company SAPIEN which you can find out more about at SAPIEN.org is producing technology similar to them. They use an app as well as devices like a smart scale to help monitor patients and keep them accountable as well as communicate with a health coach as they reverse type 2 diabetes with diet and lifestyle. We’re doing the same thing at SAPIEN so if you are a healthcare provider or a health coach and are interested in our platform please reach out to us via our site SAPIEN.org   Before we start the interview I want to ask people who have gotten any value out of this podcast to support me by contributing to the Food Lies film Indiegogo campaign. Go to FoodLies.org and pre-order the film or check out the great perks we’re offering like the EAT MEAT shirt, movie poster, and Real Foods coin. We rely on the community to make this podcast and film a reality. I’m seriously on my last dollar here and the post production of the film is slowing down due to budget constraints. I really appreciate the support. You can also click through the show notes in your podcast app to support the film. Thanks, and here’s Dr. Jeff Volek.   http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post   SHOW NOTES He presented some of his research at the Metabolic Health Summit in Long Beach at the beginning of February Keto is very popular these days but it’s a double-edged sword His interests in ketogenic research are broad including metabolic disease, type 2 diabetes, athletes, military personnel, etc. He’s studying tons of military applications to help them deal with energy, fatigue, recovery, cognitive function, etc. He and Dr. Steve Phinney wrote the great book The Art & Science of Low Carb Living which should be perfect for the savvy nutrition folks listening to this podcast https://www.amazon.com/Art-Science-Low-Carbohydrate-Living/dp/0983490708 The concept of carb intolerance What percentage of the population might be carb intolerant? Before the agricultural revolution humans had very little access to carbohydrate Low carb or ketogenic diets are what our bodies were made to run on There’s probably only a small percentage of the population that is tolerant to these refined and abundant carbs in the modern food environment Carb tolerance also goes down with age What’s great is that basically everyone can adapt to a low carb diet and this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective We all have the ability to run on fat but eating a ton of carbs suppresses that   It’s helping to treat diabetes (reverse it or put it in remission), cancer, neurological diseases The preponderance of trials shows low carb diets are superior to low fat diets in a free living setting There was interest and studies in ketogenic diets for weight loss in the 50s and 60s but then we hit the “dark ages” of this research with the USDA guidelines and it was basically toxic to study low carb in the 70s, 80s, and 90s There’s been a huge amount of research done in the last 20 years that supports low carb diets There’s so much entrenched beliefs and momentum behind low fat paradigm it just takes a while to get past it - we’re doing really well actually The dietary guidelines don’t reflect the current body of science They dietary guidelines actually matter - affect what kids eat at school, military eat, what’s taught to dietitians I think we should have two dietary strategies offered as the official guidelines instead of ending up high fat AND high carb like most americans artoday Dr. Volek believes low carb should be the preferred option for those with any sort of metabolic syndrome Personalized nutrition is the future but we’re just scratching the surface Mapping the genome and genetic testing aren't really panning out He’s looking at some biomarkers to help tell if people are mismanaging carbs What about eating more protein? It’s pretty straightforward to implement a ketogenic diet but it’s also pretty challenging in modern society His company Virta http://virtahealth.com is working on tools for this I’m doing something similar with SAPIEN http://sapien.org They use technology to efficiently scale the program to thousands and potentially millions of patients Dr. Sarah Hallberg ran the clinical trials and showed amazing efficacy of the program and keto diet in reversing type 2 diabetes Their blood sugar and hemoglobin A1c values were normalized which is pretty unheard of in the standard treatment of T2D They recommend eating fat to satiety but limit carbs and protein to achieve ketosis They recommend 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per pound of reference bodyweight Ketones have an anti-catabolic effect so they decrease protein breakdown - so no need to overeat protein Some people report less than ideal body composition on a ketogenic diet - may be because not getting enough minerals and electrolytes You can get a stress response as a result from this - sympathetic nervous system response and aldosterone causes potassium to be wasted as it tries to absorb more sodium If you have low sodium that has a negative effect on your protein status He has another book called The Art and Science of Low Carb Performance focused on athletics He had a great presentation at the conference I missed In the 60s and 70s Scandinavian researchers found out about the importance of muscle glycogen which led to the concept of carb loading A coach out of Florida invented Gatorade a bit later and then the Gatorade Sports Science Institute formed which really influenced our view sports and exercise science Since the 1960s it's been unanimous that all athletes should eat as much carbohydrate as possible before, during, and after exercise. It’s pretty insane. And there’s multi-billion dollar industries behind it to keep it this way He thinks athletes should be consuming as few carbs as possible while maintaining peak performance Consuming all these carbs are like absorbing punches to your body - you can get away with it for a while but the damage builds up It also prevents them from being able to burn their own fat He rewrote the textbooks and what was possible with VO2 max and fat oxidation in his FASTER study Ultra distance runners are winning races fat-adapted Burning basically 100% fat for 3 hours during tests They’re recovering better, not relying on tons of sugar and refined carbs packs, better GI function, and have greater enjoyment exercising He also studies military applications which overlap with these athletic advantages He says more importantly even are the cognitive benefits of the ketogenic diet They are also studying the effects of ketones on inflammatory pathways, an association with less oxidative stress, perhaps better immune functioning So far being in ketosis has been found to help people recover faster, cope with stress better, improved mental clarity and cognitive function Also helpful for traumatic brain injuries There’s so much more that needs to be studied and there’s so much promise for new applications of ketosis We need to support federal and private funding of research on ketogenic diets and therapies   Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies Sapien Movement: http://SapienMovement.com   Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg   Theme music by https://kylewardmusic.com/

Dr. Mark Cucuzzella, MD is a family medicine physician and Air Force Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, as well as a Professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine. Mark has been a competitive runner for almost four decades, with more than one hundred marathon and ultramarathon finishes, and he continues to compete as a national-level masters runner. Mark also owns the first minimalist running and walking shoe store, Two Rivers Treads. In this podcast Dr. Tommy Wood, MD talks with Mark about his new book Run For Your Life, which outlines the science and the soul of running and nutrition for maintaining a vigorous life. They discuss the aspects of physiology that suggest humans evolved to run, and the features of modern living that can result in foot pain and arthritis. Mark shares his best training tips for both new and experienced runners, as well as resources for healing painful foot conditions.

Jeff Volek and Stephen Phinney are both academic researchers and professors who have been studying sports nutrition, ketogenic diets and peak performance for decades. To put it in perspective, Dr. Stephen Phinney (with his MD from Stanford and PhD from MIT) coined the phrase “keto-adapted” in 1980. Big Ideas we explore include: the accepted dogma (vs. compelling data), two fuel tanks (you want to go hours or days?), veto-adaptation (how to), protein (necessary but in moderation), fat (your most important fuel; the good and bad!), and the macro breakdown (here it is!).

Today we are diving into the popular Ketogenic diet–what it is, what it’s all about and why anyone would want to willingly jump into this diet! As Nutritional Therapy Practitioners, we’re sharing our take on the Keto diet, a few of the “pros” and some of the “cons” and why this diet can be amazing for some, but not so much for others. We get a lot of questions about this diet specifically, but also on other diet trends and on today’s episode we wanted to make sure to clear up our thoughts and feelings on diets, in general. We’re big fans of creating balance within your food and lifestyle and we’re openly sharing how we feel about these trendy diets. Since so much can be said about the Ketogenic diet, we wanted to share some resources with you in case you want to dig deeper. These resources cover both sides of the coin, those in favor and those less excited about the Keto diet so please take the time to look into each thoroughly if you’re considering trying it out.

I used to drink 16 cans of Coca-Cola a day and eat big boxes of Little Debbie snack cakes a day. When McDonald's had that crazy Monopoly game, I would play that thing every year from the first year that they started doing it. And I would go five times a week during the workweek, even more sometimes, just to get those pieces. I could never get Boardwalk and it was just you know… that was my normal way of eating.

What’s the best way to eat and the right way to exercise to ensure a healthy lifespan? Our guest today is Dr. Stephen Anton, a psychologist who has spent his career researching how lifestyle factors can influence not only obesity, but also cardiovascular disease and other metabolic conditions. Steve is an associate professor and the chief of the Clinical Research Division in the Department of Aging and Geriatric Research at the University of Florida. In today’s episode, we talk to Steve about his work in developing lifestyle interventions designed to modify people’s eating and exercise behaviors in an effort to improve their healthspan and lifespan. One of Steve’s best-known papers appeared in the Obesity Journal titled “Flipping the Metabolic Switch.” The study looked at intermittent fasting and suggested that the metabolic switch into ketosis represents an evolutionary conserved trigger point that has the potential to improve body composition in overweight individuals. Topics we cover in today’s interview include: The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome associated with aging. Why so many hospital health and wellness programs fail. How fasting and intermittent energy restriction promote autophagy. The relationship between muscle quality, body fat and health. How age-related loss of muscle function and mass leads to sarcopenia. Effects, risks and benefits of testosterone supplementation in older men. Optimal exercise methods for long-term health. Therapeutic approaches that potentially can help avert systemic inflammation associated with aging. Steve’s study that looked at the effects of popular diets on weight loss. Controversies surrounded calorie restriction as a strategy to enhance longevity. Show notes: 2:30: Steve talks about growing up in Tampa and playing sports as a kid. 3:53: Dawn asks Steve about his decision to attend Florida State after high school. 4:17: Dawn comments on how Steve bounced between medicine, business, and psychology before finally deciding to major in psychology. She asks if having two parents who were also psychologists played a role in his decision. 5:24: Ken asks about Steven’s experience pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of Florida. 6:28: Dawn brings up that Steve became a fellow of behavioral medicine at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. She mentions that Pennington has one of the nation’s premier programs in obesity metabolism and diabetes. She asks if that was the reason he decided on Pennington. 9:33: Dawn asks what prompted Steve to return to the University of Florida. 10:08: Ken asks what is driving the increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome that’s associated with advanced age. 11:19: Dawn brings up how hospitals have tried to promote health and wellness programs for decades, but notes how hospitals are designed to treat people who are sick and injured rather than delivering lifestyle interventions. She asks if Steve can give a summary of what he has learned in looking at ways to deliver interventions. 13:23: Dawn mentions that the traditional treatment and management approaches for type 2 diabetes are relatively ineffective and only reverse the disease in about one percent of the cases. 15:02: Ken mentions that Jeff Volek, STEM-Talk Guest on episode 43, has been a pioneer in researching type 2 diabetes. 16:49: Dawn points out that she and Ken had an in-depth conversation with Dr. Mark Matson about autophagy on episode seven of STEM-Talk. Matson also discussed fasting, and intermittent energy restriction and how it promotes autophagy, which is often described as the body’s innate recycling system. Dawn asks if Steve can elaborate a little on this process. 18:02: Dawn mentions that Steve has written about muscle quality and body composition and the risk of metabolic diseases and functional decline. She asks about the relationship between muscle quality,

Hello everyone! Wanted to do an update on the Food Lies film: we’re shooting at low carb USA in San Diego in a couple weeks with Ivor and a couple other doctors, including the preeminent researcher in this field (along with Dr. Steve Phinney) Dr. Jeff Volek who’s studies are actually mentioned a few times in this episode. Really excited about this shoot and our next one at conference in Ohio next month. Also really excited that we’re 34% funded on Indiegogo - there’s been a huge surge recently so I want to thank everyone who’s been contributing. I want to say the film is happening no matter what. I’ll pay for it myself if I have to. So please support it - there’s a link in the show notes. http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post This is really important to me. I’m not some rich guy like pete Evans who made The magic Pill. I’m a guy living on some money i saved up so that I could take time off to make this film, just trying to scrape by. My friends think I’m crazy. So tell a friend about it if you can’t contribute yourself or already have. Thanks so much. Now on to this episode. Ivor Cummins is a sharp Irish gent. He’s a chemical engineer by trade and his specialty is leading teams in complex problem solving scenarios. This background helped him to really dive deep into cholesterol while also being unencumbered by the outdated mainstream views of the substance. He’s gone over 3,000 studies on cholesterol and made some amazing realizations. He now travels around the world speaking on this to help doctors and laypeople understand the new data and updated science. I did link to some of the graphs he will mention - they’re pretty compelling - here's the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kES6-ueXSghNuae5Qzh-QzbGwLThwdRs67eF9Qlle-0/edit?usp=sharing   Find Ivor: http://Thefatemperor.com https://twitter.com/FatEmperor   Show Notes Got back from FOOD FOR THOUGHT: THE SCIENCE AND POLITICS OF NUTRITION http://institute.swissre.com/events/food_for_thought_bmj.html Most people have a surface level understanding of cholesterol that is highly misinformed Top experts have moved on from LDL being bad How your cholesterol ratios work and why they’re a better indicator. It always comes back to insulin. There’s more factors beyond insulin in all these chronic diseases Cholesterol is a vital necessity to every cell in your body. It has gotten maligned just because it’s found at the scene of the crime. How did we start believing cholesterol was bad? 1950s explosion of heart disease Ancel keys and the McGovern report Let’s spread the word that saturated fat is bad without a real study - what’s the worst that could happen?

Brad Kearns has been a noted speaker, author and coach in the health and fitness world for over two decades. During his nine-year career as a triathlete, he was one of the world's top-ranked professionals, amassing 30 wins worldwide on the pro circuit. Brad currently works with Mark Sisson from Mark’s Daily Apple, and the two have co-authored several books including Primal Endurance (2016), and The Keto Reset Diet (2017). Brad is with us today to talk about his evolution as an athlete and the factors that contributed to his success, including leaving the corporate world early on (because it just wasn’t as much fun as training) and the ironic breakthrough that caused him to start winning races. His current projects include producing Primal Blueprint Mastery Courses to support those transitioning to an ancestral diet and lifestyle.

Dr. Ben House, PhD. is a Nutritionist (CN), Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) practitioner, and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP), as well as a strength coach and the owner of Functional Medicine Costa Rica.  He has a passion for researching, writing, and teaching, and hosts professional and wellness retreats in the Jungle of Uvita, Costa Rica. Today Ben is talking with Dr. Tommy Wood, MD, PhD, about his pragmatic approach to health coaching and training. They discuss testosterone, estrogen, ketosis, and building strength, muscle mass and resilience.  They also share problem-solving strategies for helping clients who aren’t making the progress they want. In the intro, I also mentioned our new Blood Chemistry Calculator that utilizes a machine learning algorithm and blood chemistry data from 36,000 people. This is a powerful tool that can help identify your specific health challenges without directly testing for them, pointing you more squarely in the direction of your health and performance goals.

This episode is a roundtable discussion with Tommy Wood, MD, PhD and New York Times best-selling author Robb Wolf on Robb’s new Keto Masterclass, a 45-day program to kickstart your keto lifestyle. The masterclass is an online training course that I completed ahead of recording this episode. Think of the class as a comprehensive instruction manual complete with troubleshooting guide for fat loss and improved metabolic health. If you’re brand new, the course is perfect for you. If you’ve been living the lifestyle for some time, it may still be helpful to read the manual to see if there’s anything you’ve missed.

For decades we’ve heard that diabetes prevention is simple—lose weight, eat less, and exercise more. But something is wrong with the conventional wisdom. Nearly 115 million people live with either diabetes or prediabetes in the United States, and that number is growing. It is time to reverse this trend. Virta was founded in 2014 with the goal of reversing diabetes in 100 million people by 2025. They have made this possible through advancements in the science of nutritional biochemistry and technology that is changing the diabetes care model. James McCarter, MD, PhD, is Head of Research at Virta, and in this interview, Dr McCarter explains how Virta is using a combination of a very low carb, ketogenic diet together with 1-on-1 health coaches and some sophisticated machine learning techniques to predict sentiment in natural language and spot anomalies in blood biomarkers. After the recording was made, Dr McCarter realised that he was off by about a decade on Joslin. Rather than 1920s, Dr. Elliott Joslin actually began keeping a diabetes registry early in the 20th century and published The Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus in 1917.  “Joslin carried out extensive metabolic balance studies examining fasting and feeding in patients with varying severities of diabetes. His findings would help to validate the observations of Frederick Madison Allen regarding the benefit of carbohydrate- and calorie-restricted diets.” Here’s the outline of this interview with James McCarter, MD, PhD: [00:01:00] Divergence, Inc.

Drew welcomes Dr. Eric Westman to the podcast to discuss the science behind the keto diet. Dr. Westman reveals the politics behind the American Heart Association’s publications, how the movement to reduce fat in the American diet was not based on scientific research and how the keto diet can help people to manage their health based on what they consume.  Dr. Eric Westman received his MD from the University of Wisconsin and his Master’s degree in Clinical Research from Duke. He has over 100 peer-reviewed publications and is the Founder and Director of Duke’s Lifestyle Medicine Clinic.

Today’s episode features an important interview with Dr. Jeff Volek, a researcher who has spent the past 20 years studying how humans adapt to carbohydrate-restricted diets.  His most recent work, which is one of the key topics of today’s interview, has focused on the science of ketones and ketogenic diets and their use as a therapeutic tool to manage insulin resistance. In 2014, Volek became a founder and the chief science officer of Virta Health, an online specialty medical clinic dedicated to reversing diabetes, a chronic disease that has become a worldwide epidemic. The company’s ambitious goal is to reverse type 2 diabetes in 100 million people by 2025. Earlier this year, The JMIR Diabetes Journal published a study coordinated by Volek and Virta that showed people with type 2 diabetes can be taught to sustain adequate carbohydrate restriction to achieve nutritional ketosis, thereby improving glycemic control, decreasing medication use, and allowing clinically relevant weight loss. These improvements happened after just 10 weeks on the program that Virta designed for people. In addition to his role at Virta, Volek is a registered dietitian and full professor in the department of human sciences at Ohio State University. He is a co-author of “The New Atkins for a New You,” which came out 2010 and spent 16 weeks on The New York Times best-seller list. The book is an updated, easier-to-use version of Dr. Robert Atkins’ original 1972 book, “Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution.” Volek has co-authored four other books, including “The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living” and “The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance.” Both books are co-authored with and delve somewhat deeper than “The New Atkins” did into the science and application of low-carb diets. Volek received his bachelor’s degree in dietetics from Michigan State University in 1991. He went on to earn a master’s in exercise physiology and a PhD in kinesiology and nutrition from Pennsylvania State University. He has given more than 200 lectures about his research at scientific and industry conferences in a dozen countries. In addition to his five books, he also has published more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific papers. Although numerous studies have confirmed the validity and safety of low-carb and ketogenic diets, Volek and others who support carbohydrate restriction are often criticized for being so one-sided that their work comes across as more advocacy than science. But in “The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living,” Volek writes: “What is the proper response when three decades of debate about carbohydrate restriction have been largely one-sided and driven more by cultural bias than science? Someone needs to stand up and represent the alternate view and science.” As Volek explains in episode 42 of STEM-Talk, this has become his mission.

But when he began to work with diabetics, something did not seem right. Dawn asks Jeff if that is what led him to begin studying low-carb diets. 6:39: Ken comments on how diabetes is perhaps the greatest healthcare challenge we face as a society, which drives costs to more than $300 billion a year. 7:59: Dawn asks Jeff about the effectiveness of traditional treatment and management ...

We have an Open Sky Fitness Podcast group where you and everyone will have the opportunity to talk about your health and fitness goals in a safe environment. We'll be posting workouts and starting discussions about how to be strategic around finding a healthier you. Check it out!    Your Health and Wellness This Week: Strength Training & Self-Care On this week's episode of Open Sky Fitness, award-winning journalist,  certified strength and conditioning specialist, and author, Lou Schuler, spoke to Rob about his career and life experiences about getting fit and staying fit for life. Lou has had a career in the fitness journey for more than 20 years and has witnessed major changes and trends in the world of health. But before we get into the interview with Lou, Rob and Devon share some self-care topics. Learn what it means when you judge other people, how you can turn your focus back to you, and when is a good time to help other people in need. Lou Schuler's Fitness Advice On this episode, you'll learn what it was like for Lou to start lifting weights as a teenager with minimal sources available compared to the immense amount of information that you can find today on the Internet and in magazines. Today, As Lou reaches 60 years of age, he's realized that his focus on strength training and fitness has shifted compared to when he was younger. Lou currently works out about 3 days a week and focuses on core stability training and mobility training. By focusing on more isometric exercises, Lou has been able to focus on improving his balance while still staying strong, stabilizing the muscles, and avoiding joint pain. Growing Stronger Over Time Whether you're just beginning to strength train or you're returning to it after a break, it's important to start with the basics and progress over time. Lou's advice is that you shouldn't feel that you need to speed up your workout to lift heavy weights or take on a Cross Fit class. Don't do anything intense until you've mastered the basic movements. Back to the Basics of Strength Training Even if you've been lifting for years, going back to basics with a program that includes completing 2 sets of 12 repetitions can be fatiguing because your body has changed over time and it's not used to doing this exercise.     Staying Strong for Life When we're young, and especially if we're involved in sports, we can feel unstoppable. It's a great sensation to feel like you're unbreakable and don't have any limits when it comes to pushing your body's limits. On the other hand, not matter what our age is, we all need to take care of our body's health for life Athletes try to lift more than they can really handle and that's where injury comes into play. As we age, just like Lou, different types of strength training and balancing exercises come into play. At some point in our lives, we begin to prioritize exercises that help us to stabilize our body and condition the muscle to help reduce any type of future injury. If an injury should occur, we want to make sure that our body is strong enough that we can recover quickly.   Staying Healthy With Age   "There is no turning back the clock. I'll never get back the body that I used to have when I was 30, 40, or even 50. There's just no way." - Lou Schuler   A lot of people may believe that they can have this same body forever by taking a special pill, but we have to realize that our bodies will age and we cannot workout at the gym in the same matter that we did when we were younger. As we get older, it can be discouraging to think about everything that our bodies used to be able to do when we were younger that we cannot do now. However, the best thing about gaining experience with fitness and strength training over time is that we know our bodies better than we did before. Now we can suspect when an injury might come up, we know when to slow down, and we recognize when we've reached our limits. We just have to treat our bodies well over time and take care of it the best we can through fitness and nutrition.    About Lou Schuler   Lou Schuler is an award-winning journalist, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, a contributing editor to Men’s Health magazine (you can find most of my articles here), and author or coauthor of many popular books about diet and strength training. Lou's latest book, Strong, came out November 10, 2015. He and Alwyn Cosgrove wrote it as a follow-up to The New Rules of Lifting for Women, which is by far the most influential of the five books in the New Rules of Lifting series. Lou also wrote The Lean Muscle Diet with Alan Aragon, which came out in December 2014, along with The Book of Muscle (with Ian King), The Home Workout Bible (with Mike Mejia and many other contributors), and The Testosterone Advantage Plan (with Jeff Volek, Mike Mejia, and Adam Campbell). Lou recently self-published his first novel, Saints Alive, and he is a coauthor of How to Get Published: Writing Domination in the Fitness Industry, which he wrote with Sean Hyson and John Romaniello for all the trainers and nutritionists who’ve asked him over the years how to break into his field.   What You'll Hear on This Episode 00:00 Open Sky Fitness Introduction 1:15  Opening comments with Rob and Devon 4:00 Judging others and what that says about you 11:00 Taking the opportunity to focus on yourself 13:00  Being proactive and eating healthy during the holiday season 21:00 Introduction to Lou Schuler 21:30  Lou's book series: The New Rules of Lifting 27:00  Men & Women: What's the potential for gaining muscle?

AIR DATE: September 12, 2013 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT:  & FEATURED TOPIC: "Cyclical Ketogenic Diets For Health And Performance" At the recent 2013  in Atlanta, Georgia last month, Jimmy Moore was the moderator of a fantastic panel of experts addressing the topic "Ketogenic Diets & Exercise Performance" featuring a star-studded line-up of Paleo fitness studs that included Robb Wolf, Mark Sisson, Ben Greenfield and Jamie Scott. The general consensus by most of these top names regarding the future use of the ketogenic approach for exercise and general health is the idea of regularly cycling in and out of ketosis to experience the maximum benefits. This is something that our expert guests this week know just a thing or two about. They are an exercise scientist, nutrition expert, and the author of The Carb-Nite Solution as well as  named  and a board-certified family physician from Gilbert, Arizona named . These two knowledgeable men were here in Episode 45 of "Ask The Low-Carb Experts" addressing the issue "Cyclical Ketogenic Diets For Health And Performance." TENDERGRASS FARMS GRASS-FED/PASTURED MEATS:NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: THE WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY QUEST BAR:NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE:  Here are some of the questions we address in this episode: PEGGY ASKS: I see no reason why I should "cycle" in and out of ketosis. That seems a bit ridiculous to me, actually, when my performance is so fabulous remaining in ketosis virtually all the time. It's been truly miraculous for me. What added benefits will I get from going out of ketosis on occasion rather than simply staying in a constant state of ketosis for my exercise performance? ALAN ASKS: Dr. Peter Attia on his “Eating Academy” web site (http://eatingacademy.com/nutrition/ketosis-advantaged-or-misunderstood-state-part-i) says that research shows "someone in nutritional ketosis – even if eating zero carbohydrates – still has about 50-70% of a normal glycogen level, as demonstrated by muscle biopsies in such subjects." I have been on a ketogenic diet myself since May 2013. And as a recreational athlete, I like to do long endurance runs of 13+ miles at a time. Sometimes my runs are great, but other times the performance is poor and I bonk near the end. It feels like I have depleted my muscle glycogen stores at this point. What strategies would you recommend that I do to boost the muscle glycogen prior to going on a long run while on a ketogenic diet? ADAM ASKS: Is there such a thing as bulking up on a ketogenic diet? If you can’t bulk up in the traditional sense, then can you at least build muscle or see body recomp changes using a ketogenic approach? JERIS ASKS: I do a lot of Bikram Yoga and I've been on a low-carb, high fat ketogenic diet for several months. I noticed at first I was getting that ammonia smell and bonking near the end of the 90 minutes. I tried loading up on different carbs and experimented with this on several occasions. A bunch a fruit right before, sweet potatoes the night before--nothing worked. Finally, I heard Ben Greenfield talking about MCT oil and I was already putting that in my coffee in the morning. So I tried putting it in my water for the yoga and amazingly I could do the whole class with no carbs and without bonking or getting the ammonia smell. Maybe I just wasn't getting enough calories of any kind or I was eating too much protein. My question is this: Is it okay to use MCT oil daily in order to stay in ketosis? I guess cycling in and out would mean back-loading with a sweet potato or some other "safe starch" once or twice a week. I'm not doing that right now, I'm just eating a bunch of veggies and a little bit of berries for carbs, so I THINK I'm staying in ketosis. If you stay in ketosis, then won't you become fat adapted more quickly? DENNIS ASKS: If someone is engaging in a 24-hour intermittent fast a couple of times a week, then should they break the fast with starches? LINDA ASKS: I am a 50-year old female runner who has been running for nearly three decades. I’ve always eaten carbs and low-fat protein 5-6 meals a day up until a year and a half ago when I started to lower the carbs and up the fat. I am at a healthy weight, but found that adding the fat made me feel so much better. I’ve been eating mostly Paleo with a little bit of dairy. I’ve really enjoyed listening to the ketogenic success stories of athletes like Ben Greenfield, Vinnie Tortorich, and of course Jeff Volek and Dr. Steve Phinney. My question is how is this working for the ladies? Even all the male podcasters have female co-hosts that seem to whisper in the background that they need more carbs, especially when they race or train at high intensity. I will admit, when I posted to Ben about how many carbs to eat when training for a half marathon, he said at least 100g on high volume days and scale back on rest days. I know eating for leanness and eating for performance are two different goals, but I would like to hear more about low-carb performance for women, especially at you get older. DAMON ASKS: If someone ate a cyclical ketogenic diet but never got blood ketone levels to a significant level, then it seems to me that they would be in no man’s land where they have no ketones for energy but are also carbohydrate depleted. How can someone with this issue of low ketones and depleted carbohydrate stores figure out how to increase ketones to improve their health and performance? LAWRENCE ASKS: Keifer says that staying on a ketogenic diet for too long can lower your testosterone levels. But low-carb researchers like Dr. Steve Phinney and Dr. Jeff Volek never mention this as a long-term problem for people in a constant state of nutritional ketosis. On what basis does Keifer make this claim? JASON ASKS: Is a cyclical carb strategy REALLY necessary for everyone or is it more dependent on the specific kind of activity you are engaging in? I stay in a constant state of ketosis and run 20 hour/week as well as hit the gym twice weekly. I never feel low on energy and actually feel great pretty much all the time. In fact I do NOT like the feeling I get when I am kicked out of ketosis. In light of this, is there some unknown performance reason why I should be cycling in carbohydrates into my diet? And if I do decide to add in some carbohydrates, how do you determine the correct quantity so you don’t prevent keto-adaptation from taking place? MINDY ASKS: I’m a 47-year old female who weighs ~175 pounds and I want to lose body fat. I’ve been on a Paleo/low-carb plan for about 3 years and I swing kettle bells a few times a week for exercise. I am currently attempting to do my own version of Kiefer’s CarbNite plan with a very low-carb, higher fat program for six days followed by a smaller carby snack, carby dinner, and ice cream on day 7. I’ve had blowout CarbNites before and then end up spending the next 6 days just losing what I gained from that event which is why I'm scaling back on them. Also, I initially did your high protein protocol and started gaining weight. I have found that much lower protein and higher fat just works and feels better for me. What, if anything, would you advise I change about the way I’m implementing a cyclical ketogenic diet? DAMON ASKS: What is the maximum amount of time that you suggest being low-carb before beginning to cycle in and out of ketosis? Other than diabetes, are there any other conditions that may prevent someone from getting into ketogenesis if they are eating low-carb, high-fat? MARK ASKS: What is the relationship between ketogenic cycling frequency, the amount of workload during exercise, and lowering body fat percentage if your goal is continual fat loss? GREG ASKS: Does Kiefer or Dr. Patel promote using tools like blood glucometers or blood ketone meters along with the carb back loading protocol? I am particularly interested in the context of someone like myself who is around 15% body fat while doing heavy lifts like back squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and military presses a few times per week. Is there a particularly good way someone could use these meters to optimize and individualize things like carbohydrate intake post workout? PAUL ASKS: On The CarbNite Solution, is it possible to kick start things by lowering your protein intake down to the bare minimum needs perhaps around 30-40g a day? If so, is this something you’d do for 6 of the seven days or just a few of them? DEBBY ASKS: I'm currently using the CarbNite Solution protocol and an avid baker using coconut oil and coconut milk predominantly in my baking. I live a primal/Paleo lifestyle and limit my carbs to rice, sweet potatoes, and other real food starchy carb sources. I have heard that combining MCT oil with carbs, like sweet potatoes, raises insulin levels. If this is true, then would using coconut oil with other clean carbs such as the ones I listed above do the same? And if so, is there a limit to how much coconut oil to consume with our carbohydrate on a CarbNite plan? JULIE ASKS: I am a 34-year old female currently following the CarbNite Solution program. I had gestational diabetes with both of my kids 2 and 3 years ago. At my heaviest weight I was 260 pounds and my fasting blood sugar level was about 104. I gradually reduced carbs and finally discover CarbNite Solution that helped me get down to 185 pounds with an 84 fasting blood sugar in the morning and 5.4 A1c level. However, my blood sugar sometimes goes up to 97-104 on other mornings. Is this something to be concerned with? Should I consume less carbs on my CarbNite until my readings return to normal the next morning? Or am I just overthinking this? JOS ASKS: I'm a 34-year old female and just started weight training about almost a year ago. I am 5’5” and weigh 110-112 pounds with about 19% body fat. My goal is to increase muscles while minimizing fat gain. My current workout program mainly focuses on basic lifts such as a glute bridge, squats, deadlift, push and pull. I've been on CarbNite Solution for almost a year and have lost a good amount fat and gained a bit more muscle. I used to be that skinny fat Asian girl. Recently I've just started to increase my training intensity by going a bit heavier in weights. I heard that once you increase the workout intensity that we need to increase our carb re-feeds during the week, as opposed only having it once a week. What do you consider “working out with intensity” and why can't we just increase the amount of carbs in our once a week carb re-feed CarbNite instead of eating more carbs during the week? Or do you think I should start switching to your other protocol, Carb Back Loading?

In this episode I talk with Jeff Volek, author of The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance. Learn how to access your fat stores and allow your body to utilize fat as fuel. Jeff's research says that endurance athletes can gain a distinct advantage by following a low carb ketogenic diet. By eating a higher fat, moderate protein and low carb diet you can teach your body to burn fat for fuel. Topics we discuss are: advantages of low carb ketogenic diets, health related to a low carb diet, paleo diets, performance advantage of a low carb ketogenic diet. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aaronolson/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aaronolson/support
