He is best known for directing and starring in The Game Changers, a documentary that has been seen by over 200 million people and is arguably the most-watched documentary of all time. According to Google Trends, interest in plant-based diets tripled within a week of the movie being released on Netflix. As an MMA fighter, James made his professional debut in the UFC in 2009 and was crowned welterweight champion. Extensive injuries eventually caught up with him, and he retired from professional MMA in 2012. Setting off on a path of physical recovery, James researched how diet might help him train faster and better. He came across a study on the original Roman gladiators and found their diets were predominantly vegetarian. This sparked his decision to follow a plant-based diet himself. The Game Changers followed James through his recovery and adoption of a vegan diet. James experienced huge benefits, including increased physical stamina and improved health markers. In the documentary, James discussed his findings with other elite athletes who follow plant-based diets, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lewis Hamilton, and Dotsie Bausch. The show also looked at the potential environmental benefits of decreased meat consumption. In November 2019, Joe Rogan addressed the documentary on his podcast with paleolithic diet proponent Chris Kresser. Both harshly criticized it. A month later, Rogan invited James on his show alongside Kresser to debate the topic. The resulting four-hour discussion caused Rogan to change some of his own views. “James knocked it out of the park and defended himself and the film quite spectacularly,” Rogan said. James is also the founder of FȲTA, an innovative plant-based protein company that uses whole ground lupin bean and upcycled barley protein to deliver best-in-class nutrition. ============ Level up your health journey!

Dr. Katie Kresser, a Professor of Art History at Seattle Pacific University joins Dan and Catherine to discuss the fundamental questions: why do humans create art, and what does that reveal about our unique nature?  Is art essential to human flourishing?  This episode is for both seasoned art enthusiasts and those seeking practical means to incorporate art into their lives. Have your call in questions be featured on the podcast: Leave a voicemail at 949-257-2436 Learn more and read articles: https://www.magiscenter.com/purposeful-lab

On this episode of the podcast, I talk with an art historian, Dr. Katie Kresser, about how art can train our imaginations to look at our neighbors and the world with dignity and love. She is a writer I follow closely, and her book, Bezalel's Body is the most thought-provoking book I've read in the last year! I was thrilled to have the chance to ask her some questions about it. Among the topics we discuss: "When God died, art was born." How the Christian story - of the death and resurrection of God the Son - made art possible  How art can train the imagination to look at the world in the right way, recognizing dignity and not reducing others to ourselves. The consequences when we neglect to disciple our imaginations, and some of the unintended results of the Reformation turn from the visual towards the verbal. The burden of living in the contemporary "society of the spectacle," where we feel that we must make ourselves. What makes something art, what makes for "good art," and how to build bridges between artists and the church. “Our destiny is the product of the real work we do amid the secret life of the universe with God's providential help. We are too foolish to see it. But love sees it.” (201) Get the book: https://wipfandstock.com/9781532645648/bezalels-body/ Included music on this episode is "Murmur" from the Ruralists album "Trying."

Thanks very much for any insight you are able to provide. I have been tracking my blood sugar levels over the past 6 months after getting some results from my primary care provider that showed my fasting blood glucose at 93, and my HgA1C at 5.6. Both of these have steadily crept up over the past 5 years. My primary care provider was not concerned because I technically didn't fall outside of any "normal" range, but I have tried making my way through a good chunk of "Your Blood Never Lies" by James LaVelle, and I decided to try to dig into my tendencies a bit more after seeing a number of things "trending" in the wrong direction, though still "normal." I am a 38-year-old father of two kids ages 1 and 3, and I want to do the best I can to optimize my health for them.  I am about 162 lbs and roughly 12% bodyfat. Resting heart rate hovering in the high 40s and low 50s, blood pressure typically about 115/65. After getting a home glucose monitoring kit and tinkering with my diet, I found a decent rhythm and meal plan that allows me to largely avoid blood sugar spikes throughout the course of the day. I almost never see my blood sugar rise higher than about 125, and only once or twice saw it higher than 140 in the past 6 months. I respond decently well to my meals and snacks per the recommendations Chris Kresser gave for 1, 2, and 3 hour post eating readings. For a period of time, my fasting blood glucose was pretty consistently between 78 and 90, which I was very excited about. However, over the past 5-6 weeks I have been getting lots of high 90s, low 100s, and even some 110-115. Interestingly, my blood sugar will fall lower though throughout the day (typically to between 90-110, even down to as low as 80 in the late afternoon when I get home from work).  I am a strength and conditioning coach and currently get to workout 3-4 times per week for 30 minutes or so doing kettlebell circuits and the occasional run. My sleep has not been particularly great the past several months due to my son and daughter's nightime routines and sleep habits. I have lately tried to go to bed earlier when my daughter does in an attempt to get about 8 hours, but it was routine for me to get more like 6.5-7.5 hours "in bed," while oftentimes waking up several times per night and/or having a tough time falling asleep. I eat pretty well, though not 100% clean, during the week, and kick my heels back a bit on the weekend with some pizza and booze, but I wouldn't say I completely blow the doors off. These diet practices have been pretty consistent during the period of time before my morning blood sugar began to consistently be lower, and also now that it has gradually crept higher over the past 5-6 weeks. A) What do you think could be causing morning blood sugar to be on the "higher" side even if I eat fairly low/clean carb and haven't changed much diet wise over the past 6 weeks? B) If morning glucose is "high" but returns quickly to these 100-110 levels after my eating most of the time and I rarely spike higher than 125 or so, is that still bad for my health, or is an elevated "baseline" ok as long as I don't consistently get higher than 140 or so as I read in Kresser's article? Thanks so much for any insight you can share!   Staying Paleo in the Mountains Lucia writes: Hi, I'm 39 years old and I practice mountaineering. World wide the food recommended while being in the mountains specially over the 4000 meters (where the body battles to adapt to less oxygen and lower temperatures) is a diet rich in carbs and sugars to access glucose faster, since the physical demand is huge and these are easier to access. Since it´s particularly important to reduce the amount of weight we carry in our backpacks and we are not able to keep this food refrigerated, I´m wondering if you are familiar with this activity, and what would you suggest to eat, and how during an ascent and the days before and after, to stay paleo and cover the demands of my body. Ps: I usually loose a lot of weight every time i go, that includes tons of muscle lost.   BJJ in your 40s Chris writes: Dear Robb and Nicki, Thanks so much for the great podcast. Lovin it!:) I have a question regarding BJJ: I'm turning 39 next month and a bit in a midlife crisis: I'm pretty fit, doing my zone 2 and strength training regularly but I miss a bit the elements of play and community in my life. Zone 2 workouts are a bit lonely:) I know you two are doing Jiu Jitsu and I want to give it a try. Do you have any tips for starting with 39 and training into your 40s? How do you avoid injuries? Any chance to keep nice ears?:) How did your training approach evolve? My goal is character development and community. Do you think BJJ is ideal for that? Hope you have some insight!

I've been a listener since day one. The Paleo Solution was a real eye opener in regard to noticeably feeling different after eating “clean”. I'm turning 40 next year and thought it would be a good idea to get a snap shot of where my Hormone levels are. I like to think I do a good job of being cognizant of eating well, sleeping, and training. My recent hormone bloodwork: LH 4.2 FSH 2.9 Testosterone 724 Prolactin 24.5 Need I be alarmed about my prolactin? From what I understand it can indicate a serious problem or just be due to endurance training. Over the past 2 years I've been running a lot. I trained for and completed a 50 mile Ultra Marathon and a Marathon. As of late I am lifting (squats 2x a week deads 1x a week). My running mileage is low comparatively to a few months ago. Some pull ups and push ups every day. Besides just being fatigued from training at times I feel and think I perform pretty well. All though I don't notice it work is a stressor and I'm certain that the shift work I do isn't helpful. I plan to follow up about my blood work. Should I be asking for a thyroid blood work? Is it dumb to just attribute the high prolactin to endurance training and low carb eating?   Omega 3's Amy writes: To omega or not to omega? That is the question. Kresser is going to try & sell me some tomorrow. Barry Sears says they're the answer to whatever ails you. But Masterjohn says they're basically poison, and we need more arachadonic acid, in fact. In the last podcast of yours I heard, you mentioned them briefly. What are you doing about them lately? (Feel free to use this for a podcast question if you like :) )   Alternatives to Phenibut for Mood/Well Being (if necessary) Matt says: I currently average 1 gram of phenibut a day to lift my mood & prevent anxiety and have played with periods of abstaining for 1+ months. I find only a little withdrawal symptoms so its not untenable however my baseline mood is not nearly as social and happy as I am with the small to moderate phenibut usage. My question to you both is do you see a problem with it as most of the "research" out there is N=1 examples of people abusing and experience rebound anxiety. Are there other anxiolytics like ashwaganda? others? I should try and what are good sources as I am reluctant to grab off a random amazon wholesaler. For context my sleep is dialed in at 7-8 hrs per night, daily 10 min meditation, yoga and fitness, and eat a paleo (+rice) diet.   Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

This week I'm excited to welcome Chris Kresser to the podcast. He's a globally recognised leader in the fields of ancestral health, paleo nutrition, and functional / integrative medicine. He is the creator of ChrisKresser.com, one of the top 25 natural health sites in the world, and the author of the New York Times best seller, Your Personal Paleo Code (published in paperback in December 2014 as The Paleo Cure). Chris has been studying, practicing, and teaching alternative medicine for more than fifteen years. Chris's work is informed by his own experience recovering from a chronic, complex illness which began while he was traveling in Southeast Asia in his early 20's. After seeing more than twenty doctors around the world and spending thousands of dollars in an effort to diagnose and treat his condition, Chris decided to take his health into his own hands. Through extensive study and research, continual self-experimentation, and formal training in integrative medicine, he recovered from this debilitating illness and went on to share what he learned with others through his popular blog, podcast, and private practice. Some questions asked during this episode: Is nutrient deficiency common these days if following a ‘healthy diet'? What is the most accurate method to measure our nutrient profile? What are the most common deficiencies? https://180nutrition.com.au/ Stu (00:14) This week, I'm excited to welcome Chris Kresser back to the podcast. Chris is a leader in functional medicine and ancestral health. (00:34) He's a New York Times bestselling author and the creator of one of the world's most respected natural health websites. In this episode, we discuss the importance of nutrient density, including deficiencies, accurate ways to measure, and supplementation. Over to Chris. (00:52) Hey guys. This is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome back Chris Kresser to the podcast. Chris, how are you? Chris (00:59) I'm great, Stu. It's a pleasure to be back with you. Stu (01:03) Oh. Look, I really, I'm really looking forward to this conversation, because you are one of the big players, the heavy hitters in this industry with a voice, I think, that people respect, and you've had a whole heap of conversations that have been extremely thought-provoking. But for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, and there won't be many, but I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit more about yourself, please. Chris (01:29) Sure. I'll give you the very short version. I was in my early 20s, traveling in Indonesia, not too far from you and doing some surfing, and I got really sick with a classic kind of tropical illness. It was actually near death in a little village in [inaudible 00:01:48] for a few days and, fortunately, an Aussie who was staying in that village had some antibiotics that helped bring me back from the brink, and that started what became a 10-plus year journey back to health. Along the way, I discovered functional medicine and a paleo type of diet, both of which were instrumental in my recovery. (02:12) As I made progress in my own journey, people began to ask questions. They saw what was happening with me, and they saw how sick I was, and how I was recovering, and they got curious. I shared what I had learned along the way, and at some point a lo in that process, I decided to go back to school to study medicine, functional medicine, in order to translate that experience into something that could help other people. And so about 12, 13 years ago, I started my functional medicine practice, treated thousands of patients since then, and then in 2016 started a training program for other functional medicine doctors to train them in functional medicine, and then launched a health coach program and wrote some books.

SIBO Post C-Section, Colonoscopy Prep, Quality of Intestinal Gasses on Probiotics, Practicality of Bulking on Keto, Thoughts on Anti-Histamines? Make your health an act of rebellion. Join The Healthy Rebellion Please Subscribe and Review: Apple Podcasts | RSS   Submit your questions for the podcast here   Show Notes: News topic du jour: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/27/china-starts-using-anal-swabs-test-covid-high-infection-areas 1. SIBO Post C-Section [11:39] Jaimie says: Hi Robb and Nikki! Love your passion and information for this podcast! I'm looking for some help with diving through the endless research and information on SIBO. A little background: I'm 34, and in January had my second baby. This time around I had to have a c-section due to a previous abdominal surgery. I have followed a pretty holistic lifestyle for the last 10 years, and typically eat a paleo diet. I couldn't tell you the last time I had antibiotics until this surgery.  A week post op my incision ended up getting infected, and I took another round of antibiotics. I'm not one to take pain meds, but did rotate Ibuprofen and tylenol for pain post op. Of course, this all reeked havoc on my gut. I never had gut issues and started to notice a lot of things changing postpartum. A month ago, I saw a functional med NP who did some labs and I did a stool sample. A few weeks ago we reviewed the results. I have sibo- methane predominant, as well as H. pylori... there were other things like E. coli, parasite(EEEK!), and other digestive enzymes that were off. Basically, the NP said that for right now because I'm breastfeeding I can't really take anything for the SIBO, but to try and just focus on my diet. Being the perfectionist that I am cannot settle for that :) I've been researching some things on SIBO and came across a podcast by Kresser. They were discussing the supplement ATRANTIL. They discussed some case studies on it and the positives, but I'm curious if you are familiar with this product and what the research says? Also, What are your thoughts on taking this while breastfeeding? Of course it hasn't been studied, but if Nikki had SIBO what would you do? :) Thanks so much and keep up the great work!   2. Colonoscopy Prep [15:04] Eric says: Robb and Nicki, Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this community.  I have been following Robbs' work for many years now.  I did stop eating a whole food diet slowly over the last 6 years.  I am getting back into it and love how I am feeling and doing. On to my questions: I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy next month. Do you have any recommendations for the prepping for the procedure?  I was thinking about using LMNT instead of the sports drink recommendation would this be ok?  Also, any recommendations on things I can do after the procedure to improve my gut? Information about me 40 years of age 5' 10" 225 pounds   3. Quality of Intestinal Gasses on Probiotics [17:59] Michal says: Hi Robb! I've been a huge fan of your as well as your podcast for some 4 months now. Listened to almost all archive talks of yours and read Wired to Eat. The only reason I haven't yet subscrive to the Healthy Rebellion is I'm a loner and don't really dig communities. The reason I am writing to you is the recent finding of mine. I had a bad gut microba for years. I didn't need any hard research on it, neither did I test it. I just knew it was bad by how I felt all the time not to mention how I felt after eating most things. Bloated, gassy with impossible acidic reflux and often loose stool. I knew I needed to improve my gut health and invested in probiotics (namely NOW's 25B portion). On top of that I also bought myself pickled veggies: a mix of salads, pickled kimchi, pickled carrots and whatnot. To my surprise I am way less bloated, less gassy and with firmer stool. The biggest surprise, however, is the quality of those gases. I am not a fart expert, by any means, but the change is visible. Until I picked up massive ammounts of probiotics, my gasses were frequent, smelly (af) and kind of soft. Like a 'puff' sound. Now they are less frequent and less smelly but more pronounced. They are shorter in duration, a bit louder and, sort of, trumpet like. It feels great. My guess is the last thing you want in your email is reading about some guy's in Poland gasses but I thought you might have some insights into this. Is it normal? How come my gasses changed just by adding microbiota and live bacteria to my gut? I'd love to learn more, especially since I heard that gut is being thought of as our second brain (sometimes the first) due to its influence of and regulation over, well, basically everything. Looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers from Poland. Michal   4. Practicality of Bulking on Keto [27:27] Alex says: Dear Robb & Nicki, -I am male -29 years old -5'4'' -probably around 11% body fat (at the time of writing this) -relatively strong: can squat and pull a little more than 2x bodyweight, strict muscle-ups, etc., etc. My question is about the efficacy of bulking with a ketogenic diet. I am not currently following a keto diet. I have never done any kind of glucose monitoring, but I'm assuming that I tolerate carbs pretty well because I would not feel noticeably worse if I were to consume a ton of carbs. Now, I would really like to get as jacked as possible, and I hate the traditional bulking and cutting cycle. Robb frequently mentions the Ketogains folks, and I know Luis Villasenor talks about this idea of "gaintaining" - or continually building lean mass, which sounds way more preferable to me even if the progress is dramatically slower than a conventional carb-heavy bulk. I would love to just stay lean year-round and not have to do maintenance and cutting cycles. I understand it is also perhaps a little more challenging to bulk on keto because the food is much more satiating. I've been using the RP Diet app for the past couple of years and I like it a lot actually, I'm pretty happy with my body composition - but if this "gaintaining" thing is a real option I would be seriously interested in trying it. I follow Power Athlete's Jacked Street program and I know John has this "you don't need more carbs than you need" philosophy, but he has also said carbs are pretty much essential for bulking, and that dude knows a thing or two about bulking. With the conventional bulk/cut approach I often feel like I'm taking one step forward and then 9/10 of a step back. It just occurred to me that I think I forgot to include my bodyweight in my initial question. It's currently about 141 lbs, don't know how relevant that is. My goal is to get down to about 10% body fat so that I can attack this bulk with everything I've got. P.S. - I LOVED the Salty Talk on the Great Barrington Declaration. I do find what you guys do to be valuable and listening to you on a weekly basis is extremely cathartic. You two are the voices of reason in this absolutely insane time we live in. You've mentioned the mental health consequences of this Covid lockdown many times and I don't know that I could have managed without this podcast. Thank you and keep up the amazing work. XOXO, Alex   5. Thoughts on Anti-Histamines? [34:35] Craig says: Hey Robb and Nicki! A couple questions on anti-histamines (Benadryl or Zyrtec) for allergies - do they have broader effects on reducing inflammation? Is there a danger around taking antihistamines regularly? Thanks in advance! Craig https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/physrev.00043.2007 https://www.healio.com/news/pediatrics/20191116/antihistamines-part-ii-longterm-adverse-effects#:~:text=Commonly%20used%20first%2Dgeneration%20antihistamines,the%20risk%20for%20developing%20dementia.

Eric Rieger  0:00  All right, it is now time for the gut check project with the COVID file installment number 11. I'm Eric Rieger, with your co host, Dr. Kenneth Brown. Dr. Brown what's happening today?Ken Brown  0:10  What's going on Eric? I love you sticking to your roots and the hair just keeps getting bigger and bigger this COVID do that. Yeah going on it's starting to starting to really rock right now.Eric Rieger  0:20  You can you can see roots you can see some gray Kevin but yeah, roots. Whatever it takes. Ken Brown  0:27  How have you been? What's going on with the family? let's get let's get caught up on that stuff. We're not doing enough personal stuff lately.Eric Rieger  0:33  Man family. It's funny. You mentioned that. Yeah, considering what we're going to talk about. But this weekend, I get to go and see my oldest he is in his first semester at Texas Tech. He's loving it, but I'm not seeing him in over a month can't wait till this weekend for us to say hello to each other and youngest Mac has got basketball this evening. They're doing tournaments. And of course, both of them are having to do this readjustment obviously around COVID. And Marie, I couldn't be more excited to to obviously go and watch the boys play. And then go watch or go catch up with gage this weekend. And she and I just remain busy. So it's a it's it's the world we live in now. It's prefaced by my COVID. What about yourself?Ken Brown  1:23  things are going really good with the family. We're trying to figure out how to get back at some of these tennis tournaments, as they put them on, and they cancel them and so on. So talking to mom a lot and trying to be very proactive about speak with mom trying to figure out how I can get my 79 year old, very Spry mom who's feeling better now than she did when she was 69. So and then 59. I think she's feeling better now than she has in 20 years. And so I started thinking about that I started thinking about family and how important that is. And this is what I want to kind of get into today today's I kind of threw you a curveball, I initially said we're going to talk about something and then I started going down these rabbit holes of research. And rather than rabbit holes, I'm gonna call them vole holes, the prairie vole holes. Alright, I'll explain how that ties in. But when we're looking at this, I'm sitting there talking to my mom, and she sounds great. And we're trying to do this. I've got, you know, we did some some zooms with some other friends around the country. And I'm like, wow, this is an interesting time. And I then started thinking about my practice. And I'm like, and my practice is really busy right now, like people are really struggling, and they're very desperate. So I started down this whole path. This is where it began. And this is going to end up being Angie Cooks podcast, because she's going to come on and I'm challenging her to be the expert in this, because I just got done doing Chris Kresser's podcast where he agreed, we need to bring this one thing out in the open. What we're seeing and what I'm seeing with patients is a consistent deal where if people have some sort of gastrointestinal problem, specifically CBOE, I can trace it back. And then you have these people that are showing up with dysautonomia, they've got pots. Ehlers Danlos and which comes first chicken of the egg did something cause that, if those terms don't mean anything to you, good. If they mean something to you, then you know what I'm talking about, because it's this. It's this constellation of symptoms that nobody has put together before, which is gut something happens to your gut, then suddenly, you're diagnosed as having Ehlers Danlos. And then it's postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome called pots. So for all those people that have this, and there's actually way more than we realize, that's what I started with this, I was like, Oh, I'm going to do a, I'm going to do the preface, the the sort of general 30,000 foot view of why we have this and then I started thinking, Wait a minute, why is this why are we seeing more of this now? Why are we having more gastrointestinal issues, which conceivably can lead to chronic long term stuff. And then I had a wake up in the middle of the night moment where I went COVID people are recovering from COVID. But then they're having chronic issues. And it's really all over the map. Now, cardiac issues, pulmonary issues, some some nerve issues, are we going to end up with a whole new wave of almost post Lyme, chronic infection type things that the immune system is turned on? So then that got me thinking, I'm like, Oh my gosh, we got to figure out this whole motility deal. And during this really busy time, I've got all these people and then I got a article was sent to me by the Journal of American Medical Association, this month, September 2020, that signs of depression have tripled in the US since COVID 19 pandemic So 28% of the people surveyed had at least one symptom of depression, you compare that to 8.5% pre pandemic. So it's not just the number, but the severity of depression is increasing tremendously also. And there's actually a significant number of people that have been diagnosed with serious depression. When you fall into that category, you start really worrying about suicide, you start really worrying about breakthrough of other problems. And it usually requires a ton of treatment and different things to try and get this under wraps. So there's very little research going on right now discussing this. So we've got this COVID problem, even if you don't get COVID. So if you get COVID, it's possible, you have to worry about a long term consequence. We know it can infect the gut. And then even if you don't, we're seeing the next wave of impending pandemic of depression that we're going to have to deal with. SoEric Rieger  6:00  No joke. I was just going to add that the I guess the the syndromes that you're describing Ehlers Danlos, and POTs, etc. It is reminiscent to the time when you were addressing IBS and bloating, okay, because those were somewhat seen as throwaway trashcan diagnoses. And that's really kind of stealing a lot from you. That's what people felt they're like, well, I don't know, it's IBS, I don't know. It almost feels like it, we're we're now sustaining a wave of POTs and Ehlers. And we're seeing these people come through and they don't really know who they can turn to. And little bit by little bit, it seems like maybe we're making a little bit of headway. So drawing this connection really pulls me in, and others who may actually have happened to suffer from this, or who have witnessed family members suffer from this kind of stuff, because there has to be a way out. And there's usually a cause and just kicking it under the rug and pretending like it's not there is not really going to work. And if we know that COVID is setting us up to experience syndromes similar to this, then more than likely, we can walk backwards and figure out what was it that COVID did to put these things in motion? And what can we do about it? If we become infected to hopefully either curve it or not experience it all together?Ken Brown  7:23  Well, I think one of the biggest things is that if you are in a situation, you cannot have a healthy immune system without a healthy gut. So what I'm saying is that we do have evidence now that when you have a something that affects your gastrointestinal system system, like an h2 receptor, where spike protein can bind to it, and then that's where the, the whole disease starts, that could lead to a domino effect of more chronic problems. And so I'm sitting, I'm just like, wow, okay, this is daunting, my practice is full, we're getting all these people showing up with these, I don't, I can't give them a good answer. On the whole, you had got problems. Now you've got these other long term issues you have to deal with, and this JAMA article comes out. And so this is where I start going down some balls, like man, I really want to be able to help, like, what is this connection, it says there. And then I started looking down this and I was like, wait a minute, let's look at this. Depression essentially is a form of reaction to some sort of stress. Stress, we know causes a sympathetic response in the body, right? We understand that a fight or flight response is the sympathetic response that affects intestinal motility. And we know through all of our other podcasts that we've done, and and other people and guests that there's a tremendous brain gut access. So as your co-host of the gut check project, co COVID, files number 11. I'm at least gonna try and do my part, which is if all this is going on, let's at least protect the gut. And we know that if you were to change the motility, you can develop cebo then you can get leaky gut, and then you can develop these other problems. So I was like, Okay, wait a minute. Now we're seeing that these covered people are having heart issues, brain issues, there's all different kinds of things. I'm like, I can't just get on there and say, well, we got to protect the gut. So I found an article published this month, and I went, Oh, this is what this episode is going to be about. It's going to be about give your neighbor and Atrantil and a hug. Give your neighbor just a little bit of powerful nature's polyphenols and a hug, huh? Yeah. Kudos to Chris Kresser. Because he mentioned this study, in which he went Oh, did you see that thing? So that means like, this study just came out like last week and I was like, Man that stays on top of it. Yeah, a recent study. This is where we're gonna end up. And this is why giving somebody a hug could be very important for your gastrointestinal health. Okay, this is what's gonna be about it given to you in a hug. Okay, so a recent study with rats looked at gastrointestinal motility in the setting of stress. So what these researchers did is they showed that when rats are exposed to acute or moderate amounts of stress is that they were able to show that the rats developed gastroparesis, they did not go into why gastroparesis is slowing of the stomach. I'll explain to my patients that when you go through amount of stress, the sympathetic nervous system slows your intestines down. And were to develop bacterial overgrowth, you have a reflex from your small bowel to your stomach, that slows it down. I get all these people diagnosed as gastroparesis. And when we fix their cebo, the gastroparesis goes away. So these guys were saying, okay, we know that these rats when we expose them to stress, they develop gastroparesis, but we don't really have a way to help them. So then one of them, I really like to see how they decided on this one particular thing, then they decided to check something that has not actually ever been reported before. Someone was that somebody had the wherewithal to say, let's check the oxytocin level. You familiar with oxytocin?Eric Rieger  11:24  Yeah, I am familiar with oxytocin and, and or pitocin. oxytocin, I think is the endogenous form of pitocin. Correct?Ken Brown  11:33  Correct. Yeah, it's also known as the hormone that mostly is associated with pregnancy and giving birth. Right, the pitocin part of it, you as a crna. You, you know, you do the epidural and somebody and then you start the pitocin, drip and it and there's lots of contractions,Eric Rieger  11:49  causes uterine contraction, you get the baby If someone's been induced, and that's what we're doing is we're giving them that hit or pitocin through their IV.Ken Brown  11:59  Yeah. And so the way that I learned about oxytocin was mostly through my gynecologic rotations, where you're looking at stuff like this. Well, as it turns out, it's a really cool little neuropeptide slash hormone, you made it dead and just have one use that we isolated for our own convenience doesn't just have the one use and then everybody thinks about it. It's been, it's been labeled as the love hormone, the cuddle hormone. It's what helps moms develop their lactation when the baby cries, it's an oxytocin response, all this other really cool stuff. These guys said, hey, what if we got their oxytocin up higher? conceivably, what if the stress decreased their oxytocin raise their vasopressin. And maybe that's why they're having GI issues. Nobody's ever put the link together before where it's like, Look, we just say that, oh, when you're under stress, you're you have gut issues. How, hence the vole hole. So what they're able to show is that these rats with higher levels of oxytocin recovered from the stress and improved gastric motility. their guts recovered when they can raise their oxytocin level. Okay. And then they took these knockout rats and what knockout rats and mice are is that they genetically raise one that is incapable of producing something that they want. So then they raise these rats that were incapable of producing oxytocin, and their gastric motility and their GI tract was horrible. So their data showed that oxytocin directly influences the neural pathway of the stress response. Why is that relevant? Because when we have Angie on and we do our motility, deep dive, maybe a couple different podcasts, and Kresser agreed with me on this one, it all comes down to motility, we have to fix the motility. And this is a particular it's known as a neuropeptide. A lot of people refer to it as a hormone that actually affects the neural motility. Eric Rieger  13:59  RightKen Brown  13:59  And I went, Oh my gosh, I have not heard of this before. So now what we're talking about is oxytocin as a stress adaption that could actually help motility. So rather than just immediately build a cuddle room in my clinic, where patients come in and they get rain and Amber and Andy and my all my other staff will rotate cuddling with patients to improve their oxytocin level. I thought I'd look into the science a little bit more before I just jump into that. And then I it got me thinking with not only is COVID creating all this depression is it is some of the problem because we're isolating ourselves. I mean, I still want I mean, I still don't like the zoom way that we're doing this, but at least we have some interaction but is it conceivable that one of the reasons why we're having so much depression so many of these other issues that are we ignoring our oxytocin?Eric Rieger  14:58  Hey, you know, I had to quick things one is quick. And that is, I think that now we've established especially with the with the mice or the rats, that oxytocin is not a gender specific marker or a hormone, right? So males and females are going to benefit from this. But a side note long, long ago, I was watching a special and they were talking about some of the side effects that happen to people who happen to be imprisoned, and who were put like into isolation, for whatever reason, you know, down in the hole. And one of the early issues that occurs with them is GI distress. So I kind of feel like, maybe we're going, I mean, beyond the depression beyond the the the things that could just simply drive someone crazy in their own mind by being isolated. A lot of it was just simply inability to have normal functioning GI tract. SoKen Brown  15:56  anyway. And so let's, let's just keep on that for a second. You have stress, you are able to muscle through some of your gastrointestinal issues. Instead, just have to have to keep the stiff upper lip and keep moving. What you don't realize is that if you're not taking care of your gastrointestinal health, then this could lead to a cascade of other inflammatory things. So how do you improve the inflammatory aspect of everything? That's the really, that's the really interesting thing. Now we have talked improving your immune system by mitigating your inflammatory response using polyphenols. We've talked about improving your NRF two pathway which decreases the inflammatory response. So now I'm going to give you the trifecta of let's go down some vole holes and talk oxytocin. And why do I save vole holes? Because I found this incredible scientists. She's a neurobiologist named Sue Carter. And she's internationally recognized as this behavioral neuro endocrinology PhD. She is the director of the Kinsey Institute, which looks at this and all her work has focused on oxytocin. And she found the what was presumed to be the only mammal that had a monogamous relationship, the prairie vole. So when I say I went down vole holes all the research on oxytocin has actually been done on Prairie voles by this badass scientist named Sue Carter. Yeah, and her work is really cool, because when you read some of this, she studied oxytocin and voles. And the reason why is because they were they were presumed to be the most social mammal and monogamous and they really don't care about their environment. So you can take two moles that love each other, and put them anywhere, and there'll be just as happy because as long as they're socializing, they're, they're super cool. And her first discovery was, voles are not monogamous. In fact, female voles will actually go and mate with a random male vole, and then fight with them afterwards to kick them out to basically come back and be with her lifelong mate. So they have lifelong mates. But the vole will actually go out. And she explained that this is probably it's not like it's a super what's the term for when somebody sleeps around a whole lot? And but the appropriate term is going promiscuous. Eric Rieger  18:34  Thank you for rescuing. Yeah. None of which we're going to be appropriate for today. But yeah, good save.Ken Brown  18:43  So it wasn't that these that these female voles were promiscuous, it's that there's a genetic reason for doing this, that if you can have a genetic pooling, where you have more genes, but it's the family rearing aspect, and so what she was able to show is that it doesn't have to be the original Mother/Father, as long as there's a family unit or some sort of unit. And then, you know, she references a lot of psychological studies in humans, which this has been shown multiple times that, you know, this is where it's at. So the vole has a very similar oxytocin response to humans. So it's the perfect mammal to actually study. And at this point, that's why I'm going down boltholes. Now we should probably define really, what oxytocin is on a little more scientific level. oxytocin, it's an evolutionarily ancient neuro modulator, and hormone produced in the hypothalamus where it's pumped directly into the brain and into your circulation. So very complex way to say this thing has been around since the dawn of time, to help us adapt to our environment. And in fact, oxytocin, which is the love hormone is known as the cuddle hormone. It's associated with childbirth and women. But now we realize it's in everybody. When it goes up, that really means that you're in a time of abundance, that means that you're in a time, this is a time to love, this is a time to do things. And when that's up, it actually does all different kinds of things. And we'll get into that in a second. But one thing it definitely does is it improves your immune system by decreasing inflammatory markers, very similar to how the NRF two pathway functions. When there's types of stress, All right, now, your oxytocin goes down, your vasopressin goes up, and you send signals that you're under duress. Does that make sense?Eric Rieger  20:46  It does. And so basically, if you it just sounds to me, like if you're under a lot of stress, it's hard to love. And if you aren't receiving love, you're probably going to find yourself in a lot of stress.Ken Brown  20:59  Yes, so here is the thing that nobody's talking about, we've got a massive amount of depression going on, because of COVID. And then we're saying everybody stay away from each other. Yeah. When the reality is what we're going to do at the end of this podcast is talk about how we can increase our oxytocin levels. But just to show how important it is, what was she was able to do just a few of the things it enhanced memory production. It has been shown to increase muscle mass. So it has been shown to help heal wounds quicker. So they can show when your oxytocin levels up. You have less serious infections, you actually can learn things better. You can develop more muscle, it's like kind of a, it's one of those like, that does too much. Well, it's that important. It's one of these homeostasis type hormones. oxytocin vasopressin, she was talking about all different kinds of studies that perhaps one of the reasons why there's a cycle of teen pregnancy in certain lower socio economic areas. Could be that when a mother is stressed, she sends a signal to the baby that's in her. Oh, hey, we got hard times. Yeah, baby. Down regulates its ability to produce oxytocin. Oh, my. So it comes out. guns blazing, not ready to cuddle? Yeah, baby has been sent a signal that says you are being born into hard times. And when that happens, then you can end up with a sequence of events. And it's just tip of the iceberg about where she was going with it. And she showed it with these prairie voles, she had certain moms that were under stress, well, then the baby would have lower oxytocin levels throughout its life. They go so far. Yeah, it's really wild stuff. Super, super wild. Because I'd never really thought about oxytocin before. I've always thought of as a pregnancy thing. And now I'm like, whoa, wait a minute. So what it helps you do is it helps you adapt to a changing environment. I was thinking of a Time Suck. With what? Dan Cummins, Dan Cummins. And I just had to laugh about it. Because he he almost describes this when he was doing the Genghis Khan, he's just like, Yeah, can you imagine being born in this is a kind of like, you're born into this horrible world, and you're just about money. And I'm like, oh, that oxytocin was really low in poor Genghis. Yeah. And yeah,Eric Rieger  23:29  it really, really was.Ken Brown  23:31  And so a lot of the oxytocin levels in a community can be manipulated by the strength of the community, and learning from others. So part of what makes the oxytocin go up a little bit, is the reward aspect also. So when you learn from somebody, and you don't have to fail a bunch of times your oxytocin goes higher. So each generation, if done right, should have slightly higher ability to have the oxytocin because you're learning from the next group in front of you. And then it it's, it's a safety thing, the more control you have, the more abundance you have the higher abundance, meaning you're not fighting for your life, not Lamborghini, whatever, I'm pretty sure that, you know,Eric Rieger  24:20  in a weird anecdotal way, if you think about just growing up and being in a classroom, it seemed like that, in certain subjects, you would have friends that were just more adapt and and better at listening and getting instruction. And so as a lesson progressed, they didn't seem to stress about subject matter. So their ability to relax and learn and take in information. They had a comfort zone with that. So they may have had some amounts of oxytocin being released, which allowed them to take up the material and then they didn't stress as the material is reintroduced. They were tested on I mean, it's, it's a cycle, right? So it's probably there's probably a pattern there, too. Where we can, we can help our young kids and children, etc, by learning how to get comfortable learning, learn how to learn.Ken Brown  25:07  Yeah, absolutely. Now the good news, Eric, you don't have to worry about this at all, because as we've discussed in multiple different ways, Big Pharma is super excited to be involved in the oxytocin rush here.Eric Rieger  25:20  Yeah, I'm sure that they've, they've got our best interest at every dollar.Ken Brown  25:24  So they've got multiple animal studies showing that you can kind of manipulate the oxytocin in an animal. They've got nasal sprays in Europe with just straight oxytocin, we've got this synthetic one pitocin. Well, she's also got a ton of ton of work about how that will never work. Now, it will never work. You cannot play Mother Nature in somebody's body with something so intrinsic and delicate and complicated. So unfortunately, at least in human studies, when they have tried to do this and develop a drug where you just take a shot of oxytocin, and your immune system improves and everything, your body, surprise, surprise, starts to down regulate some of the oxytocin receptors up regulate the vasopressin receptors, because it goes this is weird. This is something's odd, and so then the body automatically offsets it. So then when you stop, you've got all this vasopressin, which is your fight or flight, workplace and when you beganEric Rieger  26:21  gonna be stressed out to the hilt, it's it's it's no different than when someone over for a long period of time consumes steroids, and then they don't produce their endogenous steroids anymore. I mean, that the adrenal fatigue or they shrivel up, they don't do anything. So it's a it's a real problem.Ken Brown  26:38  Yeah. So here we are, in this pandemic, the vole hole was I'm I'm worried about chronic conditions, and dysautonomia, and gi issues, which then led to finding the study on the rats, which then used oxytocin to look at. And so here we are, in this pandemic, depression is super high, we're socially isolated. We know that when we're stressed, we're going to have lower levels of oxytocin. It's that seesaw. If you're really stressed out, you're basically telling the vasopressin to go up and oxytocin goes down. Easier said than done, right? Don't be stressed, you'll be fine. So we know that right now everybody's stressed. So your oxytocin is lower, this can lead to my perspective, the GI tract will be affected. So a neurologist will tell you what it will do in the brain. a cardiologist will tell you what it will do in the heart. But we do know that oxytocin affects gi motility. Gi motility, in my opinion, is the underlying reason why all these chronic conditions are actually developing. So you're gonna have poor intestinal motility, you feel bad, which actually leads you to want to be more socially isolated. So a lot of the stuff when people are like, man, I just, I'm unhappy. I'm depressed, but I don't want to be around anybody. Yeah, give you a neuropeptide reason why that is your oxytocin is low. Your vasopressin is saying this is not the time to be cuddling. You know, we are flight thing going on. Right?Eric Rieger  28:10  It is getting to these, there are many, many examples it seems in life where we you can easily fall into these catch 22's, where you're, yeah, you're heading this one way. But for you to recover, you almost have to break the bounds and force yourself to do something that will allow you to get better. Otherwise, you're just going to stay unfortunately, in this cycle.Ken Brown  28:31  Yeah. So if you're listening to this, and you do have a little, any type of depression, any type of anxiety, we need to get your oxytocin up. If you have irritable bowel, if you've got cebo. If you've got any other gastrointestinal issues, we need to get your oxytocin up. Oh, if there's a slight possibility that you could be exposed to a virus. You need your oxytocin up so that your immune system reacts appropriately. Now let's get to oxytocin and the immune system is that oxytocin does exactly what our NRF two pathway does. They all work together, polyphenols, decrease interleukin six, which helps mediate your response. Yeah, it turns out oxytocin mediates the body's response so that you don't overreact. It's all about the thing that we talked about the endocannabinoid system, it's about being in balance. So oxytocin actually helps your immune system, which could be one of the reasons we said it during the NRF two, podcast but you can almost say, well, maybe a little bit of oxytocin's taking place because when you're NRF two is down. That means that you have higher inflammation. Once you have higher inflammation, that means your oxytocin will go down. So it's that you're exactly right. You got to break a cycle here.Eric Rieger  29:50  Yeah, you got to you've got to go against intuitively what's Unfortunately, the pattern that feels like that, that you're on the path that you're on, right. You ever think about it? When you've got your friend and you're, you're growing up and your friend, he just broke up with his girlfriend, or if you're a girl, it's your girlfriend, or boyfriend, they're really sad. They don't know what they want to do and feeling really down, but you convince them to come and hang out with the friends, etc. And almost every single time, by the end of the evening or the outing, whatever it is, that particular person is ecstatic that they were, they're surrounded by people that cared about them, they loved them. It sounds like it's a lot of this community that you're describing, because it helped them get through something, right.Ken Brown  30:34  So this is the crazy thing. So I've talked to patients that been going through a lot, they start going through depression, they start gaining weight. They're like, I don't know, I'm even now I don't want to be around anybody I've put on, you know, 40 pounds, since it's COVID. Oh, I hate to break this to you. You're gonna put on weight if your oxytocin is low. Why? Because your vasopressin goes up, which is your fight or flight, which is your cortisol. So every time that you said, Well, I'll start mingling, once I lose weight. So as a weight loss product, we're going to tell you how to get your oxytocin up. In fact, I was talking to a patient today. Wonderful, just love to see people when they round a corner, and they're just really happy. Yeah, a patient of mine I've had for 17 years, and looks phenomenal. Did his COVID hair looks great. And it's his disease, underlying disease that he sees me for is under total control. And I start finding out, got remarried, has a new social circle. They have a they have a process where they, every Sunday, they have dinner together every whatever. And I went that is it right there. Because in every single medical study, listen to this one more time in every single medical study, a support system and social interaction will outperform drugs and diet. Now, there's a lot of people that would go No, no, no, no, no, you're insane. But if you look across the board, and you start really realizing that and you start teasing out some of these factors, actually people that do have a support system, and it was always theorized, oh, well, they have a support system, because their family members help them make sure they stay on their drugs. Oh, they have a support system, because they've got this and that could be oxytocin. Yeah, it could be this one thing that nobody's talking about?Eric Rieger  32:29  Yeah, definitely. No, I agree. I mean, just take an inventory of the people that you know, best. And not I mean, probably not every time someone will have a different example. But usually, your happiest friends, your happiest family members are those who are in touch surrounded by not only support, but they give support and they receive it. And I'm just thinking of just several people. Yeah, that's who they are.Ken Brown  32:56  So the oxytocin's every night, this Volvo was really big this that Sue Carter has dedicated her whole career to it. And the science behind it is all her data. And it's really big. It's the first time I started looking into it. But of course, I got to do what we try and do, which is bridge some bridge some gaps. So we will try and give you some tips on how to increase your oxytocin naturally. But I also want to look at a couple other things, we always seem to find that when you start looking at Mother Nature, secret weapon polyphenols, is there any data with this? So I really struggled to find a direct one to one, but there was a couple small studies looking at breast breast milk production, through the elevation of oxytocin. And this particular study showed that the combination of two different polyphenols, one of them being reservatrol, increased milk production through oxytocin release. So that was one of the only times that actually found that polyphenols directly increased oxytocin. And they were looking at it to try and stimulate more milk production. Okay, and then there was one randomized trial on delivery. And they were looking at, interestingly enough deal extract and its effect on oxytocin. And they showed that it actually showed a randomized trial where when you added the dill extract, which is a polyphenol, then it improved the delivery process. So smooth muscle contract, contractility, etc. And then I found this one, which is a little bit interesting, it makes a little bit more sense. Because we know this, we say this all the time. This article comes from the journal of probiotics and health, microbes, oxytocin, and healthful longevity. In this particular tastes, they showed how our microbiome interacts and through decreasing what they believe are different inflammatory mediators. We know that Do it has a direct effect through the vagal nerve directly on the hypothalamus to oxytocin levels. So, all of this is kind of extrapolating Dr. Carter does most of her work on these voles and amazing on family units and stuff, that one right there that nobody's really looking into as do these polyphenols also have an effect on the oxytocin level couple small studies, but we do know that these polyphenols increase the microbial diversity. So the reason why I said take out Ron teal and give somebody a hug, is because we know that the polyphenols, stable large molecular polyphenols, increase the microbial diversity. And we know when you have that, that a lot of other beneficial things happen. These guys in this paper showed a direct vagal mediated oxytocin response, meaning the vagus nerve, the great highway is a motility thing, we keep circling back to the same things. So other than make sure that you do the usual stuff that was talking about get some good sleep. I believe that polyphenols probably increase x increase oxytocin levels. And we know that at least in a couple small studies, that you can increase oxytocin through several different smaller polyphenols. And then this final one was that if your microbiome is diverse, you will produce more oxy tosun. That's really cool. That's really nice. Here's what's the best. It's called the cuddle hormone for a reason.Eric Rieger  36:39  Now, hugsKen Brown  36:40  let's quit being so sciency get our accion. Oh, no, no, don't I actually googled that. And I started to type in how to increase oxy. And it was like cotton levels were to get. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,Eric Rieger  36:57  no. Yeah, yeah, you don't you don't want that of your teenager how to increase your oxy acne wipes, you know, so.Ken Brown  37:07  But it's kind of interesting, because you because you, you look at these little voles, and you realize it's probably, the more the more that you love and share, the more that you open up, the more that you allow your body to increase the oxytocin receptors, so that they can be saturated more, and you're getting away from that sympathetic response. So what's your favorite way to raise your oxytocin?Eric Rieger  37:30  Ah, man, I can tell you right now a hug from a from wife and or family member friend. And any of that it sounds to me would be the most fun way. And then favorite way to to raise my own oxytocin. Alright,Ken Brown  37:46  so there's lots of ways to raise your oxytocin. And this is a this is a quiz for you. Eric Rieger  37:53  Oh, no.Ken Brown  37:54  Yeah. So we know that exercise raises oxytocin. Okay. We know that listening with your eyes, meaning real eye contact with somebody can increase your oxytocin being intimate with someone will increase your oxytocin. Okay. And basically, the whole cuddle aspect is there. So if you can incorporate all those different things, is there one particular act that would really knock the socks out of the oxytocin ballpark? If you could exercise be intimate? be close with somebody share a moment? Oh, oh.Eric Rieger  38:37  Probably, man. It's rolling dice here. All those are things that hopefully everyone's getting the opportunity to do daily. I would say getting close to somebody would be the one that raises the most, maybeKen Brown  38:50  you and I think differently.Eric Rieger  38:55  I guess you're about to break out a barbell not really sure.Ken Brown  38:57  No. Eric Rieger  38:58  Okay.Ken Brown  38:59   Exercise, being intimate. Being close. Having human contact. sex. Sex is amazing for raising oxytocin. SoEric Rieger  39:08  Oh, yeah, no, I mean, um, maybe, maybe. You're what? Maybe I was getting too g rated.Ken Brown  39:17  I'm just saying that, that do not underestimate the power that that being intimate with a close partner. A company accomplishes all those things at the same time.Eric Rieger  39:26  Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I get it.Ken Brown  39:29  You say another way. Another way to increase oxytocin is to have an orgasm. So okay, having but you know, but they've also shown that by having a close intimate partner, the oxytocin goes up much higher. Your body knows you can't fake it, you know? Sure. It's so that's so alright. So, exercise, social gatherings. Listen with your eyes, have sex. Oh, give a gift. being generous will actually bump your oxytocinEric Rieger  40:00  Interesting now that that actually is is is awesome. So sorry but I guess the the noble rewards in life tend to tend to be associated with doing good deeds right? Because you share love with someone and that's so good deed you're letting them know that you care about them you you know you foster your relationships with with your friends then that that's that's a good deed you're helping them out. So yeah, I mean to me it makes sense. Yeah, it's funny you didn't you didn't mention that, that using businesses as a reason to screw somebody over increases oxytocin. You didn't mention that theft or isolation increases oxytocin, it's all of the it's all of the opposite things that we all say that we want to do for Yeah,Ken Brown  40:48  so next time you're in traffic and somebody kind of a jerk and cuts you off. Don't just sit there and get super upset. Just go, oh, that person's oxytocin is low. They're not doing the things to cultivate their oxytocin levels.Eric Rieger  41:01  Yeah, put your car in park and then look at them and listen with your eyes.Ken Brown  41:04  Yeah, listen with your eyes.Eric Rieger  41:10  Maybe not. That may not be the right.Ken Brown  41:12  Yeah, maybe that's not the right way. You could also I had to laugh. So a deal I was I was talking to her deal yesterday, my, my, my wonderful Scheduler. And I was trying to describe what I want to talk about today. And I was like, hey, do you know that like, heading a dog has been shown to increase oxytocin levels? And what about a cat? I have a cat and I was like, No, no, never.Eric Rieger  41:35  Not a cat.Ken Brown  41:36  No. Only dogs. I think cats also i'm not sure the study was done on dogs. So it just got me thinking I'm like, Okay, look, we're in this COVID environment. There's so many things against us. And yet we have a few things under our control. So listening to music, playing music can also raise that but waking up every day and saying, Okay, I'm going to try and figure out how to raise my oxytocin, which means that I'm going to try engage with somebody a little bit more, which means that I'm gonna try and take care of myself a little bit more if I'm going to be easier on myself. Because when you're hard on yourself, you raise your vasopressin level, which decreases your oxytocin. So give yourself a break. If anything, do it for your intestinal motility. Say, I'm, I'm going to make a concerted effort to which is why I said at the very beginning of the show, I'm trying to call mom more because we need to keep each other's oxytocin up, but you know, she lives alone. And I want to make sure that, you know, she's able to keep that oxytocin up. So this is a this is the vole hole called How to Increase your oxytocin kind of out of left field, I started down a motility path and we're going to come full circle because once we start really hitting that motility, this may become standard of care for a gastroenterologist to help patients.Eric Rieger  42:56  I mean, kind of a cool intersection now, I mean, we do a lot of things whenever people come through and use everything from diet to behavior to recommend exercise, why not just start saying be sure that you give a hug to your family members everyday or a close friend every day? Yeah,Ken Brown  43:13  and that's the problem is that we're in COVID. So that was one of my theories, that the isolation could be controlled Yeah, massive increase in depression, no doubt.Eric Rieger  43:25  No doubt at all.Ken Brown  43:27  got me thinking. So I would like to check oxytocin levels on you guys that do jujitsu because there's there's lots of hard cuddling going on during jujitsu if you call it cuddling, choking someone, for instance, which I think has kind of a has an oxytocin bump, but also a vasopressin fight or flight going on. I'm wondering if jujitsu people I'd need to check with Ricardo Abreu and see we just need to monitor his oxytocin levels as he's as he's smashing peopleEric Rieger  44:04  as he is if he uses the same tone as he aggressively went after you as a polyp. I don't know that I want to help him raise his oxytocin levels.Ken Brown  44:14  Yeah, that's true. Maybe it's Yeah, maybe it's low. So um, you know, we we keep coming back to the same thing we keep coming back to intestinal health is the root cause of all health. And now we're finding these different things that are really subtle that we can do in a holistic approach. You can increase your NRF two levels by doing certain things, you can increase your oxytocin. And all of this will play into the immune mediated aspect. I start thinking of people that are diagnosed with a pretty serious, you know, chronic situation, and it's depressing and it's sad and they're maybe in pain and all that just keeps lowering that oxytocin. If you could just get that back up. Maybe it'll break the cycle and you could start on a road to recovery.Eric Rieger  45:01  Yeah, I don't know, either. But it would make sense. I mean, maybe having people isolated in a hospital, for instance, especially during COVID where we're not allowing people in there is actually stunting their ability to overcome disease. I mean, think about that when how many people and stories have we heard of firsthand so and so had to go in for surgery, we don't really know how they're doing that but they call and said that they're just going out of their mind you're stuck there and it's taking longer for them to to be released from the hospital. I mean, it could have a profound effect as we're trying to stem the the the spread of the virus, but at the same time, we're not allowing other people to heal. You know, at the rate that they should, I don't know, it's it's pandemics present lots and lots of problems that areKen Brown  45:49  not been trying to figure out there. There used to be there was a gastroenterologist in my community that when he retired, he, he loved dogs. And so he had like these show dogs, he would bring them as animals and just allow patients to pet the dogs. Yeah. And now I look back, I'm like, wow, I'm like, let's take it up a notch. I mean, if we know that these prairie voles really raise their artsy tosun levels, then maybe we should have some variables and just like let them bite people and just inject the oxytocin and I'm gonna, I'm gonna have to talk to Dr. Carter about that one. I'm not really sure that's gonna work. Yeah, you just made oxytocin a venom. So the hard part is you got to get the prairie voles super happy and comfortable, then you gotta piss it off enough to bite yourEric Rieger  46:35  budget. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah, I don't I don't think that's the avenue but that's okay.Ken Brown  46:41  And I do believe that they have the full science on the half life of it also. So it's not like it happens. And then unlike the NRF, two pathway that stays elevated for some time, the oxytocin is much like an Endocannabinoid like, like an amide. It comes out and it works and it comes back. And it just is as needed when it comes. So what I'm saying is you got to get that parallel the prairie vole to bite you really quick, because I think the half life is only like 30 minutes. It's gonna be hard.Eric Rieger  47:10  Yeah, I it's, it's going to be hard to, to prove to even see your ideas worth anything. You know, I don't know.Ken Brown  47:19  What we're doing here laughing a little bit that's raising our oxytocin also. So even if just at least make some jokes about prairie voles, and maybe that'll raise yourEric Rieger  47:28  venomous prairie voles. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of jokes in there. But yeah, that would be weird and strange. But, yeah, maybe you'll get happy out of it, too.Ken Brown  47:40  So that's the vole hole I went down. So can you summarize all this for me really quick, because I realized I was kind of all over the map on this one. But that's not I think it allEric Rieger  47:48  over the map at all. I mean, he just gave more reinforcing evidence that the fact is, is that can paint the reason why we don't like being isolated is because we're not supposed to be but one of the many reasons that a pandemic really stinks and, and not being able to see your friends why people are longing to get back and seeing their families because we're meant to be social. So when it's safe, and you can figure it out, by all means be as social as possible. Find the people that you care about the most embrace them, tell them that you hug them, it's it's not just enough to see them on camera, it's not just enough to, to just hear them on the phone. You You really want to go embrace and hug and let somebody else know. And then I like the other one, too, listening. Look at someone hear them. That's one of the most empathetic things that you can do for someone is just be quiet, don't talk over them. And let them voice whatever is on their mind, happy, sad or indifferent. And it's actually going to work to your benefit to do it. kind of crazy.Ken Brown  48:53  Are you actually talking about oxytocin or the fact that I do interrupt all the time, and this is just a polite way to tell me to just listen,Eric Rieger  48:59  so you didn't do it? Right. You're supposed to sit there and just keep staring in one of these days. I'm just kidding. Yeah, now? I do. I do think it's kind of cool. There's a lot of lessons in there if you just want to be happy and healthy. Scott Golden Rule stuff, treat people as you want to be treated. You want to be hugged, give you you need a little help do some charity. Yeah, it's it's, it will all work to your benefit. Well,Ken Brown  49:19  we know that giving a gift works. We know that improving your microbiome works. So your sign behind you your bloating relief, it's what we do. I'll try until what you should do is buy a bunch of Tron to and give it away as a gift and hug that person. And then you're going to bump your oxytocin way up and you're going to help that person bump their oxytocin.Eric Rieger  49:42  I don't see how you can go wrong with that. You can'tKen Brown  49:44  go wrong with that. Give Atrantil and give a hug. That's awesome.Eric Rieger  49:50  Yeah, that's a much better summary summary than what I was working towards.Ken Brown  49:54  Now, I didn't have time to look into how the endocannabinoid system plays with oxytocin but you know, that's tied And also, because this is all this just shows how complex humans are tied in, we'll eventually get to how improving your endocannabinoid system. But it seems like everything that improves everything that I just said for oxytocin actually decreases the sympathetic response, we get back to the same thing over and over and over again, inflammation creates disease, inflammation does is the root cause of the disease process. When you have inflammation, your NRF two pathway goes down and your oxytocin goes down. So you at least need to take the reins, stop some of the inflammation through a proper diet, eating polyphenols, taking a proper CBD to improve your endocannabinoid system, and then maybe your body will adjust by rising these other systems, these other molecular processes.Eric Rieger  50:49  Yeah, oxytocin, ultimately, not just a pregnancy hormone or peptide. It's quite important for us throughout our entire existence. So unfortunately, I mean, we mostly in the medical community, at least allopathic Lee only talk about oxytocin as it applies to the maternity ward. So way more important than that,Ken Brown  51:10  it's way more important to that. And you know, that we really can't have animals in the endoscopy suite. But I'm gonna ask a small favor since your hair is really grown out. Okay. I think we should let stressed out patients just pet your head as they're waiting to go back for their colonoscopy.Eric Rieger  51:24  Yeah, day after hand sanitizer, I guess. Again,Ken Brown  51:29  or somebody that's super stressed out here. Would you mind letting them pay?Eric Rieger  51:34  As long as I don't have to lay down and kick my leg several times across?Ken Brown  51:40  Well, that's awesome. Yeah. oxytocin, we just keep throwing curveballs at you.Eric Rieger  51:44  Yeah, well, hey, listen. For the listeners out there. I think that we keep hitting hinting at it but pretty soon we need to dedicate a series or a show to the vagus nerve and we have actively been looking and talking to a few different people will have a vagal nerve expert on here pretty soon and I'm excited about it. It really ties into exactly what Ken is talking about with oxytocin and everything that we can do to help out our parasympathetic nervous system which is the relax the love the feel the the rest and digest mode, I guess, if you will, for our bodies. Yes, it's quite a bit I thinkKen Brown  52:26  we're gonna end up so we're gonna let Angie run point on this because she has done so much research on the dysautonomia, which is the the dysregulation of your neurologic processes in relation to different organ systems. And that's the whole Potts, maules, cebo relation, Ehlers Danlos, and all these other things. So we'd start with that. But I think if we can figure out the motility aspect, it helps so many people, it's all it's all connected. And it's an it's almost like you can't just do the one thing, you can't just, it's like you got to do it all. You got to get socialized, and you got to feel good about yourself, you got to be happy or try to be happy. Anyway, that works for you meditate, everything start working on that, though, you will start losing weight, then we can start the healing the gut it all, it's all coming together. And if we could develop some sort of really nice rationale why people are having issues they are. And I think that alone helps people to start on the road to recovery. Because just being told it's all in your head is doesn't cut it.Eric Rieger  53:43  No, not at all. Not at all. Well, Ken, I think that the instructions are hopefully clear. Go hug somebody. Go hug somebody.Ken Brown  53:53  Yeah, so as always, this is a medical show, but I'm not giving medical advice. I'm a medical doctor Eric delivers anesthesia for a living. But just speak with your doctor. If we said anything that looks like you need to question it, but we're in social isolation. So don't randomly go up and hug people. But you can certainly you can certainly improve your oxytocin by sharing this episode, possibly liking this episode that will increase your oxytocin level.Eric Rieger  54:24  Yeah, absolutely. Well, I can share I can share. This is obviously code file installation number 11. I'm Eric Rieger here with the awesome co host, Dr. Kenneth Brown. Thank you all for the continued email and shares that we get. I don't know. I'm amazed every single week that we have more and more people who write in and say, Hello, thanks for doing the show. So as long as we get those will, will keep meeting up and hopefully we're we're covering topics that they interest youKen Brown  54:53  know, I want to send it when we send this email out to let people know that we've published this I'm going to send a virtual hug know what virtual hugs Come on back at us just just take just just just take a little video of you just hugging.Eric Rieger  55:04  Oh, yeah, yeah, hugging. Oh and quick shout out to Sheila Unger, she she actually you asked about the family earlier she sent a a free complimentary sample of a Texas Tech face covering out the gauge. That's awesome. Cool. Yeah, awesome.Ken Brown  55:23  So they're right there. She raised her oxytocin level he didEric Rieger  55:26  that was that wasn't a charitable gift. Absolutely. Okay. I think that's gonna do it for this episode. We will see you all next time. Stay safe. Give a hug. Listen to people. And don't forget to like and share and we'll talk to you all soon.

Show Notes: News topic du jour: Obesity: More Than an Inflammatory, an Infectious Disease?   1. Can We Really Increase Our Longevity? [11:42] Christopher says: Do you think that as we deepen our understanding of the biochemistry of nutrition that we will reach a point where we can indefinitely prolong life?   2. How Salty Are You? [15:44] Jason says: Robb, I was wondering what your sodium numbers are daily, does it change when you train?  Now imagine being 230lbs, what should my sodium numbers be, on BJJ days and non-workout days? thanks, Jason   3. Cholesterol and Statins? [22:12] Tom says: Hi Robb and Nicki, Thanks to your work, along with Kresser and Sisson, I've lost about 50 lbs since discovering Paleo/Keto in 2013.  Before that I was on Lipitor, but after getting down to about 200 lbs (and all but completely solving my IBS) I decided on my own to go off of it and visit a functional doctor/nutritionist.  My numbers looked worse initially (Total Cholesterol from 204 to 290, Triglycerides 138 to 285, HDL 40 to 34) but she put me on a variety of temporary supplements and therapies, such as saunas and detox foot baths, and also recommended I replace cow dairy with goat dairy. I was encouraged 6 months later when my total cholesterol looked similar, but my Triglycerides went from 285 all the way down to 131 and my HDL ticked up to 38.  But then I became discouraged again when she had my LDL-Particle number tested and it was off the charts at over 2500.  So my question is, while I know you can't dispense medical advice on a podcast, should I at least consider going back onto a statin?  I'm 38 years old and 5'7, so I could certainly try to lose another 30 lbs or so and have my blood tested again, but I feel really good in every other way.  My sleep is good and I don't feel stressed, although I could stand to exercise more.  I'm willing to put in the work of losing more weight if it means better health, and perhaps it will anyway, but after losing so much already, I feel like I'm in a really good place in my life where I can maintain the weight I'm at and still feel like I'm living my life.  I've come this far largely thanks to you, so any advice you can give me now would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!   4. Blood Flow Restriction Training? [34:28] Sara says: How do you feel about BFR training to help with muscle gain?   5. What Affects HRV? [37:40] Susie says: Dear Robb I’m trying hard to find anything you’ve done on CrossFit/keto/women/PMS/HRV ... managing all of these things. I feel like I am constantly googling to sense check things - like does HRV drop when we PMS? Does keto impact on HRV? Perhaps you’ve done a podcast and I haven’t found it yet? Best wishes, what you do is brilliant ...

Since our last Game Changers Review show, Joe Rogan hosted a debate between the popular Paleo advocate Chris Kresser and the co-producer of the Game Changers film James Wilks. In this episode, we break down the Rogan debate and do a deep dive into an epidemiological nutrition study conducted at Harvard to show our audience "how the sausage is made." From there, we touch on the plant vs. animal protein debates, B12 supplements and cancer risk, as well as the health benefits and challenges of Vegan diets more generally. 

Seriously.  James Wilks of Game Changers was recently on the Joe Rogan podcast with Chris Kresser defending his film.  During this episode Wilks said one of the biggest lies I've ever heard in my life.  I cannot believe Joe Rogan didn't shut the podcast down.  I can't make this up.  You need to hear it.  But for real.  This podcast is a call to stop the in-fighting that occurs in the health and wellness community.  Follow The Joe Health Show on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/thejoehealthshow Follow The Joe Health Show on IG at https://www.instagram.com/thejoehealthshow/ If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Primal Health Coach, it would be great if you'd follow the link here!

Alright everyone, I’m fired up about this one! Dr. Paul Saladino was up in LA yesterday and we recorded some gold here. We spent the weekend digging through studies to give the much needed rebuttal to the “debate” between James Wilks and Chris Kresser on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. For those not familiar with this, it was a huge deal. Joe Rogan has the most popular podcast in the world (by far I believe) with many millions of worldwide listeners and viewers on youtube as well - per episode. James Wilks is one of the producers of the Game Changers - the most recent installment of vegan propaganda films. Listeners will know we already put out a feature-length film debunking his film on YouTube, aptly named Game Changers DEBUNKED. We just posted a document at sapien.org/gamechangers with 156 studies and 57 resources listed to go along with the film. We put many of the studies on screen, but due to limited time couldn’t reference each one. So here’s a bit more context: Chris Kresser went on the Joe Rogan podcast and debunked the Game Changers. He did a great job and we included some of that footage in our film with his permission. James Wilks then went on to defend himself, but instead, attacked Chris personally and used many tactics to avoid answering the simple question of “why do you think red meat is bad?” He did catch Kresser on some things, I think. But for many points, he actually didn’t if you look more into it. James just caught Chris off guard and cited studies Chris wasn’t familiar with. Paul and I looked into those and found out James was actually wrong, was completely overstating what the study said, or made false claims about the dates of references that were central to his criticism of Chris. I’ll leave it at that for now and get on to the show. I’ll skip any ads for this one and will just encourage people to go to Sapien.org for more information about my film Food Lies which will be the ultimate answer to vegan propaganda films, to support me on Patreon so I can keep doing stuff like this, and to share this episode with someone. I’d really recommend watching the YouTube video version of this one. We show all the studies we mention on screen and all the graphics and tables as well. That will be posted on the Food Lies youtube channel on Tuesday. The site where all the studies can be found is http://sapien.org/debate This will be an extensive page with timestamps, notes, and links to all studies mentioned. Lastly, I think it would be valuable for Joe Rogan to be aware of this. I hope people share the video with him. I think it would be great for Joe to have James bring his “science advisor” back on the podcast and Paul and I could come on and have a debate without all the ad hominem attacks. We can share studies beforehand and break this all down once and for all. It would be filmmaker and science advisor against filmmaker and science advisor. Although, as you’ll see in this episode, Paul will be doing most of the talking.   BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Support me on Patreon! http://patreon.com/peakhuman Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post     SHOW NOTES   FULL SHOW NOTES: http://sapien.org/debate [12:20] Wilks complains how the meat industry research is largely funded by interest groups, but this is the case with all industries [14:40] Dairy products and cancer association  [18:45] James Wilks completely misinterpreted the Dairy Product Consumption and Prostate Cancer RIsk in the United States  [16:20] The issue with epidemiological studies  [20:19] Does dairy cause inflammation?

James Bates is bursting with creativity. A professor, sports broadcaster, and artist, Bates, a former college football player, “feels blessed” with three “dream jobs.” As a child and through college, all he wanted to be was an NFL star, a desire nurtured by his football coach father. Though some scratch their heads at his change from the pigskin to the paintbrush, Bates says he wants to make other people happy through his art. He advises students to “take their work seriously, but not themselves.” TRANSCRIPT: Intro: 0:01 Inventors and their inventions. Welcome to Radio Cade the podcast from the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida. The museum is named after James Robert Cade , who invented Gatorade in 1965. My name is Richard Miles. We’ll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them, we’ll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work, and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. James Di Virgilio: 0:37 What do you think of when you think of an artist, a football player? Probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. My guest today is James Bates, a national champion in college football whose creativity has flourished during and since his playing days, I’m James Di Virgilio, James Bass thanks for joining us. James Bates: 0:54 I like that. Thanks, James. Good to be here. James Di Virgilio: 0:58 I want to talk about not your football career. We’re going to tie football in, but about what now you’re more known for now anyway, you are a play by play broadcaster. You are also a teacher at the University of Florida teaching commentating, and you’re an artist and your art has a really unique style to it, especially your folk art. I want to know from the beginning, were you always drawn towards creative things? Did it take you awhile to figure this out? You were telling me before the show that your dad’s a football coach and he’s very much what you’d expect from a football coach. So creativity probably wasn’t something that came right to the top of your mind in that family, right? James Bates: 1:31 Yeah. I mean, my dad coached a long, long time for just retired a few years ago, but my whole life, he was Coach, long time in the NFL and I loved sports and I love competing, but as much as anything I was always creating and I didn’t really take art classes other than the few that you take in elementary school and junior high, but I always loved them. And I guess I never really got that nudge because it was a football family. And so they knew that I liked to do that, but that’s just what James does is he, he’s over there drawing again. And you know, and I didn’t take any art classes at Florida, but I probably should have, because I sat in class drawing, I guess I got it from my mom. She was always kind of doing a craft or fixing something herself or prettying something up herself. I definitely didn’t get it from my dad, but it’s in me. And it really kind of came out and I realized a guy that I roomed with at Florida, Eric Kresser is his name, he was Danny Wuerffel’s backup. We were in the same freshman class. He was an art major. And my freshman year I wasn’t red shirted right away. He was. And so I’d go out of town and I’d come back and he’d have our dorm room and Yon hall, which is in the stadium just as dirty as can be, but he’d have it rearranged and decorated basically. And I realized, well, I can do stuff like this. It’s not just my mom. That would change my room around. You know, it’s like in a weird way that was an adult moment for me as a creative person that I can, like, I can do some of these things on my own. And so fast forward, right after we from Florida, I had taken a picture of a place where my wife and I got engaged up in Tennessee on the river, a little pigeon river up Gatlinburg area. And which is where I went to high school. I went to same high school as Dolly Parton in Severe County. And so I asked him if he would paint this painting for my wife for Christmas. And he said, yeah, yeah. And Christmas was getting closer and closer and Kresser man, he’s like, Oh man, I’m really busy, you know what? I’ll teach you how to build a canvas. You like to draw, you can do this. You can come over to my house and you can use my paints and I’ll teach you how to build this canvas . And so I did it and I knew while I was painting that, that this wasn’t going to be the last and about the same time, I was lucky enough to have a little part in the water boy with Adam Sandler. And right after that, the football gang that did that movie went and did a movie called “Any Given Sunday” down in South Florida with Al Pachino. And I was down there working on that. And I walked through a few art galleries, Lincoln square in Miami, and I was just blown away. And I just had to have big pieces like this in my house, but I could never afford big pieces like that in my house. So I had to find a way to do it myself. And so that’s kind of the next step of I’m just going to paint and I got to have pieces like this, and I realized in a hurry that for what I was after unfortunately oils and the Florida humidity, I don’t have the patience . And most of my early pieces were oil. And actually one of those early pieces, Billy Donovan and his wife, Christine bought one of my bigger pieces, but I switched over quickly to acrylics with my landscapes. A lot of the , the depth and the textures. I realized that I could kinda arrive at the same conclusion when it’s all said and done, but every now and then when I’m getting ready to go and spend a fall where I got to slam on the brakes in my studio a little bit, I’ll throw some oils on some canvas here and there it’s a little dry while I’m off working for a couple months, and then I can come back and kind of dig back down to it. Yeah. You know, you mentioned my class and we had our first day of school for this semester. It’s my sixth semester last Tuesday. And I feel like I’ve got three dream jobs. I’m a professor and I’m a broadcaster and I’m an artist. I just feel so blessed. I mean, that’s just the coolest thing in the world. I would have taken any one of those three and felt like I had just an incredible life, but to be able to do all three of them is it’s really special. And I really think that a , of the three that being a professor and being around these young men and women and just these minds, they’re so much fun and I do it for free. And you can cut that part out if , if they’re going to hear it over there , at journalism college. But yeah. Thanks for asking. James Di Virgilio: 5:25 Hearing your story. I’m hearing a lot of , of being very true to yourself. Was there any opposition when you were telling your parents or telling your wife or telling your friends , say , I want to pursue art? Was there any James, what are you doing? Football players don’t pursue art or did Eric catch flak painting and doing things in college? Was this an outside the norm thing for you? Or were you always pretty much saying I want to pursue this thing and you were supported in doing so. James Bates: 5:48 Yes, yes, yes. And yes. Still you’ll have people that can’t believe that this linebacker is an artist . Huh, what? And you know, my dad, he still just doesn’t understand it and he wants to and he tries to, but here’s an example yesterday on the phone and again, this is the kind of the house that I grew up in you got to love it, like , but I was like, what are you doing, James? I’m just running all these pieces up, we’re doing this popup show, my buddy Byron at Corteroids have an art show tonight. And he was like, well, your football is getting ready to start are you doing some reading on them ? And I’m like, yeah , yeah, I’m doing okay. But he can’t help himself, bless his heart. He doesn’t know, well, how are the acrylics drying or, you know, or like what medium using now. And so, yeah, I get that. And I get that as you can imagine from football fans, but it’s also appealing to people that have a little bit of a love for art. And I think that the people that do come around and kind of enjoy some of the stories that I tell with the text in my art and in the folk art pieces, I get a sense almost that they appreciate it even more. And I can tell when they appreciate it, just because go Gators. And when they just are truly heartfelt, kind of like blown away and in my piece moves them. And there’s no better feeling in the world than people who will call and, and ask for a commission, send me a message. Hey, my wife for Christmas or our anniversary or something for our home. Just the fact that I can from scratch create something that they feel will make their house better and happier and give it that kind of energy. I’m goose pimply, right? Like right now, like I just, that’s awesome. That’s just so special. And I’ll do that. Even if it’s making a little something for my neighbor, when I’m 90, that I know that they’ll like , I will always want to create and want to make people happy. In that sense. James Di Virgilio: 7:34 We talk a lot on this podcast on Radio Cade about solving a problem. And so a lot of times we’ll ask an entrepreneur, what’s the problem you’re trying to solve. And how are you solving that? I think what you just said is very interesting with art. The problem , so to speak is more of somebody wants something beautiful to look at or something to talk about or a memory to keep with them. And as an artist, you are creating an original piece. Something that cannot be reproduced is not mass manufactured when you’re creating your pieces, especially when you started out, were you making art for yourself? And you were saying, I’m not making this because people may like this, I’m making this for me. And then it’s so happened that people liked it? Or were you making something that you were hoping people would like? James Bates: 8:14 It’s a really good question. And it’s something that I meet resistance from my wife, because we gotta be realistic. And, you know, I can’t just sit up there and just my house is, it’s like my gallery and it makes me happy. And I still, I sold a couple pieces last night and it hurts and I that’s what you have to do. And I always, the one thing that I guess in my mind kind of makes it like a little , okay, well , send me a picture of its new home, but I like to paint big and it gets tough when it’s time to ship or when it’s time to lug them around to all these art shows and whatever. And Tina, my wife is always like, are you sure you want to do it that big? Are you sure you want to do that? That guy not too long ago, commissioned me to do a painting of his daughter. And Tina’s like, she’s not gonna like her legs. And I’m like, well, I just got to kind of be me. And fortunately I have a lot of people that want commissions, but sometimes I have to be me so much to where I have to just say, no, I can’t this month because I’ve sold most of my landscapes and I just can’t not have any landscapes around here. So the month of March, I’m doing landscapes and it feels really good. And this whole cycle of, Oh, now I’m itching to do a piece on Spurrier because I thought of a quote that he used to say to us and stuff like that. And so I fight with that a lot because I like to paint whether it’s a landscape or whether it’s a painting of Danny Wuerffel or Brett Farve or Tim Tebow or anybody, I like to kind of get a quick feel on just certain features. And then I try not to go back to it because I feel like there are a lot of people out there that can paint realistic, close to realistic, very beautiful pieces that are almost like a picture, but I want it to be as much from me and the way my mind sees it and wants it to look on this canvas as they really do look. And a lot of the artists that I’ve followed around that same time back to when I did that first painting for my wife and these galleries down in Miami. I also realized that I really liked text in art. I really like to see a lot of words. Besky Yacht is my all time favorite in a he’s the perfect blend of all of the above, because he’s got the text, he’s pop culture. He’s big with the hip hop scene at that time when it was just coming up. And I didn’t even realize, like I’m such a big hip hop fan from way back in the day. I didn’t even realize until recently how much they rolled together. It goes without saying, I mean , the B-boy culture, the hip hop, the, the street art, the graffiti, it was there, but just to kind of link the two, it makes me feel like my two missions that nobody else really cares about is loving graffiti and loving rap. They have come together. So like, at least for me, it makes me feel a little bit better, you know, but it’s not something that I can sit there and tell my wife that she really will listen to that long. You know, it’s just one of those things . And so Howard Finster is another artist, but he’s more of a folk artist has passed away from Summerville , Georgia, just South of Chattanooga. The quick story, he was a Baptist minister and didn’t do any art ever his whole life. He was he’d fix bikes and whatnot, odd jobs around town, just get some carrying around money being able to live. And he says that in a drop of paint on the sidewalk, an angel appeared to him and said that God wanted him to spread his word through folk art because nobody was listening to his sermons. And so he took a dollar bill out and painted a painting of George Washington right there. And from that day on, that’s what he did. And he’s really probably one of the more well known folk artists that there ever was and ever will be. But he did things for Coca Cola and the Olympics and, Oh, well , we was on the talking heads cover and galleries all over the world, but he would always include scripture. And it’s really interesting. He would paint what he saw as angels on earth. People like Hank Williams, Henry Ford, Martin Luther King, Mickey Mouse. And he would paint them with angels floating all around them. And it , as much as anything it was because they brought joy to the earth doing God’s work like that. And so there’s this sort of pop culture tie in with him too. But he saw people that made people smile, made people happy, made people dance. He saw them as angels on earth. And I just think that’s amazing. And his style of not really caring altogether that he was spot on. It’s truly like an outsider artist, a folk artist style, and kind of learning about him, finding out about him early on, kind of made me not so scared of not measuring the width of the nose or something like that. So it all kind of just lined up just right in the fact that I can create once my football season’s over with the broadcasting is just , uh , it’s the coolest thing ever. And the producers that I work with during the football season, when I’m out calling these games, we’ll do a little segments called B8sy Paints. And if we’re in the coaches meetings on Friday, if we get some story from a coach and like, Oh my gosh, that’s a great story. Well, let me animate it. And so I’ll animate it and we’ll do like a little segment during the show. And so that’s always fun. So I get to tie them altogether. James Di Virgilio: 13:01 That’s so interesting and also fascinating at the same time to watch all your spheres of life bubble up into one. But what comes to mind for me is, and almost everyone’s story, there’s a story of, of hardship or difficulty. And thus far as an, as an outsider, your story almost seems like you try something and it works. You try something and it works. You try something and it works. Have there been moments in your life when you’ve had an idea and inspiration, a vision and you, and you started to do it or went with it and all you were getting was difficulty? James Bates: 13:27 Well, maybe a little bit with my style in broadcasting, I think early on, which was my world for the longest time. I mean, that’s how I was going to pay the bills for the rest of my life. And that’s what I majored in back then when I was coming up, it was the grizzled voice, the buttoned up suit, you know, and these great, great broadcasters. That’s all you really got. And there wasn’t a million channels out there where you had all these different people and these different personalities. So there was some resistance when I would come rolling in and I just really enjoy making people smile, whether it’s with my art or , or making people laugh, you know, it’s basically the same thing. So sometimes I , I can’t help myself. Like I, you know, I probably shouldn’t here, I probably shouldn’t here b lah b lah. And I just like spit it out. And, a nd so not everybody loved that. And that’s one thing I think that in my life that I’ve been most proud of too, is that I j ust k ind o f stuck with who I was. And eventually people saw that his style he’s great hosting these studio shows. He’s quick and basically the way I tell my students is you’re w riting. You’re always writing. You should take more writing classes because we’re always writing a nd on the fly and being quick and Hey, such and such, take us to break, you know, just in the middle of class and y ou g otta be on your toes, but add some flavor to it. And the flavor that I added, wasn’t always what my dad and his coaching buddies would have always thought that i t was the proper way to take it to break or whatever. So I’m kind of proud to have met that resistance, but kind of stuck it out and found a place for me. It’s it’s like we were talking about before we went on, there are a lot of names out there that are a lot more attractive in the football world than J ames Bates. You know, I’m very proud of my football career. I was an all SEC linebacker and w on a bunch of rings at Florida. And my senior year, we won a national championship, but no real NFL career to speak of. And all of these guys that retire every year from the NFL long careers and they know their ball, but you’ve got to entertain as well. I mean, that’s people want to be entertained. S o you straddle that fence of X’s and O’s and, a nd entertaining. And I tell my students, my c lasses i s at the University of Florida in the journalism college. And it’s a play by play on air talent class. And it’s not just T V people, which is really neat. It’s people t hat take it just for public speaking. But for those TV people, if I turn on the TV and I see you just going through the motions, just checking off boxes, not treating your sideline reporter or your analyst with respect a nd, and there’s a true, sincere friendship there then why would I bother sticking around i f y ou, if you’re not into it, if you’re not excited, why should I be excited? Because there are a lot of other football games that are going on right now. There a re a lot of other basketball games out there, and there are a lot of people that want your job. So when I t urned on the TV, I just want to see you just oozing with appreciation because you’re living out a dream. And so I just try to think like that every time, y ou k now, I get a little bit sad in the fall, O h, I g ot t o go away for the weekend. The only time the kids don’t have school and they’re going to do such fun things and woe is me. But you know, I just, I make my time count during the week and then go and put everything I can into it. You know, the games that I call, a ren’t the sexiest games in the ACC that weekend. But you know what? These kids are living out a dream and I’m going to showcase them and I’m going to learn their stories and spend the time whether they make the air or not. And that’s really special because I was right there not too long ago. That’s all I wanted to, do was to play football, was t o g o make tackles. And my dad wanted me to be a quarterback, but Brian Bosworth was up at O U when I was in junior high, i n Texas doing his thing and t here was no way I was going to do anything, but be a linebacker and go hit people. And we’re 44. I hate to admit how important it was for me to wear 44. Like I almost, well, they recruited me, they sent me a media g uy. Oh, 44 is not going to be available because of freshmen. W hereas I don’t know if I can go there. That’s embarrassing. James Di Virgilio: 17:17 I think inspiration is such an important thing. Every, every podcast I’ve done, no matter what the person is working on or doing the inspirations in their lives were key . And , and you’ve mentioned many of them , uh, which has been great. Now I want to turn our attention towards you inspiring some others. And I’ve heard some themes that you’ve mentioned. You’ve talked about being true to yourself, but you’ve also talked about some structure within that. I think in our society, it’s easy to take, be true to yourself, to an extreme, to where, of being true to yourself as rubbing everyone else wrong. You just keep on going. But I’ve heard, you mentioned like gratitude and appreciation and energy and thankfulness, and being in the studio here with you today, I can feel your energy. It’s genuine. And there’s a genuine authenticity to you coupled with your own originality. So when you’re teaching your classes and you’re talking to young artists, or what’s the balance between be yourself and some of these other things that you’re going to have to also have in order to make, cause you can’t just right . You can’t just take that to an extreme. James Bates: 18:14 Well, it kind of starts with take your job seriously, but don’t take yourself seriously. If you take yourself too seriously and you can’t really come into our class and have an ego, like you have to be able to laugh at yourself, our middle child, Talia, she’s a swimmer. We just dropped her off at school last week. She was a late, late bloomer, but she’s very coachable and she’s going to do every single thing and just crushes her if she lets her coaches down or her parents down. And she stresses a little bit too much. I mean, she’s a perfectionist and it’s gotten her a scholarship to swim at the University of Florida. And I’m so proud of her, but it can have some negative effects too. I mean, she stresses too much and it eats at her and it’s not healthy, but in our house, like you gotta be able to laugh at yourself. I mean, we crush her. You can’t take yourself too seriously if you’re so worried about your own little bubble and worrying about yourself so much, how are you going to give energy to others? I can’t even like begin with someone that has bad intentions and bad energy. And for them to take that to an extreme, like , I can’t even go there. Just be yourself, lead with your heart really and lead with a good heart. I mean, we’re all so fortunate. I remind these kids, you guys go to the University of Florida, that alone, right there means something. And this basically, it’s like your first job. And it’s like, we talk about being on TV. Like, and if you don’t show appreciation, don’t come in here, feeling sorry for yourself, get off your phone, bring your energy to class. I’m not going to keep you all the way to the final bell. I’m not going to give you a lot of homework, but when you’re here, be here and take care of your classmates and let’s all get better. Let’s not worry about one thing. Let’s try things. Even if we feel like complete idiots, let’s just try it. We have so much fun, but we get in trouble by the neighboring teachers, you know, Hey, can you guys keep it down we’re taking a quiz over here. But I guess it’s just that it’s just kind of the heart it’s like I talked about with the commission paintings or somebody buys one of my paintings, it’s it really is from my heart. And for them to respect that and to want a piece of my heart back to Howard Fencer, that’s like doing God’s work. I feel like that’s making people happy and making their homes happy and their, and their families happy. And so I think that as long as you have good heart, you can go to any extreme you want to go. And people may say this is done with a good heart, but a good heart is a good heart. It’s just plain and simple. It’s , it’s , it’s black and white. It’s just, this is good. This is bad type of thing. And so I’m very proud that I’m able to kind of give people a piece like that. James Di Virgilio: 20:40 Yeah. You can feel when someone cares for you versus when someone is just trying to give off like charismatic energy. And I think, you know, you emanate that and I’m sure as you’re challenging, sometimes the status quo or you’re , you’re exploring your creativity um , it’s always with that lens. Which does give you a little more freedom to try things. And I think that’s a great lesson for everyone out there is to pursue your passions. Yes. But also why are you pursuing your passions? And , and for you, you talk a lot about bringing others joy. It’s very other focused and not in a weird way allows you to express yourself even better. And that’s not necessarily the most popular message today, which is more about, do you do yourself, focus on yourself. I think you’re focused on others, bringing you joy and then allowing you to flourish with how you were created is a really interesting and creative narrative throughout your life. And today it’s been great to hear, you know, last week I was in Milan, I saw the last supper in person painted by DaVinci. And , and what you realize is something you’ve been saying the whole time, DaVinci was always very true to himself, right? He was commissioned by the authorities that be, but he always put himself into his work. And I think as an artist, sometimes that gave you international fame while you were living. And sometimes it didn’t, but I think your message reigns true. There’s a level where each one of us, whether we’re an entrepreneur in the tech world, or we’re an artist, or we’re a play by play commentator, we’re at the end, you want to say that you and your unique DNA structure put your brand on something and you did it in a way that was, that was good and right, and just, and I think your story emanates that obviously you’ve had tons of success in the football field, tons of success and these other things. But I think if I’m going to get this right, what matters most to you sounds like the , the joy you’ve brought to others. That’s what I keep hearing is kind of this excitement you bring to other people, this chance for you to take your talents and skills and maybe better the world around you. James Bates: 22:22 Well thank you and, and you know what, it’s the same thing with the millions that DaVinci would reach as it is with somebody who has a painting that their mom did have a Lake on their wall. Hey, my mom did this and she loved to paint. She worked really hard. She loved to paint and I love that painting. That’s all it is. You know, anybody that has that in them that wants to create, I hope that everybody gets a chance and in whatever walk of life, I mean, we sit in meetings at the board for the Cade museum. I mean, like most of that stuff, I’m like, why do they have me here? Why do they come here? What am I doing? Okay, I’m 46. Now I could go home and study it, but I’m no, I’m not. I’m out of school a long time ago, but it’s such an incredible place. And it’s such an amazing feeling for everybody to want us to be up there, to be a part of it that they feel like we can make it better. It’s for creative ideas and it’s, and it’s so neat to see team because not everybody’s wired like that. And like, Oh, okay, this is my chance. This is where they want me. But sometimes when we get into some of the real nitty gritty of the stats and the numbers like, Oh no, I just want to curl up in the fetal position, roll around on the floor. I’ve always been like that though. Even with my football, you know, my , my dad and brother, they’re always been students of the game. X’s and O’s, and , but I’ve just kind of enjoyed the human interest side of, of all of it, but yeah, really enjoying it all. James Di Virgilio: 23:41 Well, James, thanks so much for being with us. He is James Bates, four time, four consecutive time, I should say SEC champion national champion artist , entrepreneur, teacher, analyst , right? List goes on, a dad, fantastic, James Bates: 23:56 I’m a good dad too. We didn’t talk about that too much, but I’m maybe most proud of , of being a good dad and a good husband. James Di Virgilio: 24:01 Well it’s been amazing to have you and to hear your story. Thanks for, thanks for sharing it . I’m sure it will inspire others. And for Radio Cade , I’m James Di Virgilio . James Bates: 24:08 Thanks James Outro: 24:09 Radio Cade would like to thank the following people for their help and support Liz Gist of the Cade Museum for coordinating and vendor interviews.

He is the New York Times bestselling author of two books: The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine. Chris is the co-founder and co-director at the California Center for Functional Medicine. He is also the creator of the Kresser Institute, a globally recognized medical practitioner training program. Topics explored in this episode: How humans evolved without computers and screens and how this has dramatically changed in the last 20 years.   Is there an evolutionary mismatch? Hear about Chris’ experience with ‘tech sabbaths’. Is there an educational system in the US that considers the effects of screens on developing brains? (Hint: Waldorf schools).

I don't usually listen to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, but recently Joe invited Dr. Chris Kresser and Dr. Joel Kahn to have a debate about Paleo nutrition vs. Vegan nutrition and I was curious to hear the discussion.  It was a great discussion, but I found it to be lacking in some respects. Given that Joe Rogan runs one of the most popular podcast in the world and I know that this podcast was watched/listened to by several million people (and probably some of you), I want to give my take on the discussion and also encourage you to tune into another episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that I think is much more valuable when it comes to nutrition and health.  Here is a link to the episode with Dr. Kresser and Dr. Kahn on Youtube Here is a link to the episode with Dom D'Agastino and Layne Norton that I recommend checking out.     Click here to book a FREE 15 Minute Health Optimization Strategy Call with me

Please head on over to the YouTube video and like it, share it, or comment on it to help me promote this!  It would also be great if you're on Twitter if you could like, retweet, or reply to the tweet about the analysis. The links mentioned in the podcast can all be found in the description of the YouTube video. Enjoy!

Dr. Susanna and I recently listened to the Paleo vs Vegan debate between Chris Kresser and Dr. Joel Kahn on the Joe Rogan Podcast. As the scientific claims flew back and forth, I realized the desperate need for a fresh perspective on the matter. This is a conversation about that fresh perspective.

In this week's podcast, we discuss an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. This episode had Chris Kresser and Joel Kahn debating the benefits of eating meat. Chris Kresser was arguing for the inclusion of meat in our diet and Joel Kahn was arguing against meat being in our diet. If you've followed any of our previous podcasts, then you know that we are both on 'Team meat eater!" So this podcast turned into a discussion of the shortcomings of the vegan diet and why any healthy diet should contain animal products. Link to Chris Kresser's blog highlighting the benefits of meat eating: https://chriskresser.com/why-eating-meat-is-good-for-you/?_ke=eyJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJ0bmVsc29uMDEzNUBnbWFpbC5jb20iLCAia2xfY29tcGFueV9pZCI6ICJteTc1eTYifQ%3D%3D&utm_term=why-eating-meat&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ck-general&utm_content=&utm_source=klaviyo Link to Joel Kahn's website: https://drjoelkahn.com/joe-rogan-experience-reference-guide/ Link to Joe Rogan Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULtqCBimr6U

Doesn’t everyone love a GERD cup of coffee in the morning? Not if that coffee is causing GERD! Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease is no joke! In this episode we discuss GERD, the causes, the symptoms and the solution. I also share my experience with removing coffee from my diet for 14 days. WHAAAATTTTT! I know. @robertyang challenged me to 14 days without the black gold in my diet and I took that challenge face on. The idea was to reduce my GERD by removing the #1 culprit to my symptoms to see if they improve. To find out what happened… you need to listen to this week’s episode!

Ultrarunner and Adventurer, Richard Kresser, spends a few minutes with The Nation to talk about the completion of his supported (although mostly self-supported) self-created and human-powered tour of 16 volcano summits in the Northwest U.S.  This Tour de Volcanoes is something Richard has been scheming and planning for years and 2018 became a reality. Richard is always on the move and happened to be on the move during this podcast so we experienced some audio challenges. Tour de Volcanoes by the numbers: 16 out of 16 active Volcano summits 2,400 miles of biking with 127,000 feet of elevation gain On foot, 180 miles of climbing with 79,700 feet of gain From starting Mount Lassen at the trailhead, to finishing Mount Baker at the trailhead, 25 days, 9 hours, and 58 minutes.

We spoke to Chris Kresser, a podcaster, blogger and an all round health detective. Looking at the trends in the healthcare budget for the world, we are in a bit of strife: - chronic disease accounts for 7/10 deaths in the USA and for 86% of healthcare expenditure. - number of deaths from Alzheimers has increased 89% since 2000 - more killed by chronic disease than cancer The world healthcare model is failing due to bias (bullshit) in medical research, big pharma (greed) influence and broken payment models. Chris is stepping up to the plate and trying to create a new model of healthcare. He is a super star.

Unconventional Medicine - by Chris Kresser 'Join the revolution to reinvent healthcare, reverse chronic disease, and create a practice you love'   There is so much information out there in the world of health, diet and lifestyle, but obesity rates in the western world are higher than ever (and rising!). With that brings a lot of chronic diseases that are reducing our quality of life, but are completely preventable. Kresser shows us all a new way forward: a healthcare revolution.    Check out our Top 50 Book of All Time: www.whatyouwilllearn.com/top50

This week we are chatting with adventure athlete Richard Kresser. You will be absolutely blown away with what he has accomplished: first place at the Bigfoot 200, 2nd place at Arrowhead 135, finished the Moab 240 (yes...two hundred and forty freaking miles), second in the triple crown of 200s, along with a handful of other ultra marathons. The episode starts with me being very perplexed by the Arrowhead 135, an ultramarathon that takes competitors 135 miles through the frozen northern Minnesotan woods in the middle of January....with only 3 aid stations! In this episode we also discuss a few events of his own twisted creation. The first being RAGBRAI, which is normally a bike ride (party) across his home state of Iowa. Richard chose to RUN it. That's 400 plus miles across Iowa during the hottest week of the year. How did he survive this insanely brutal event? What kind of mindset does it take to keep pushing through when there's absolutely no penalty for quitting? His second big project was the RASH. Climbing and then circumnavigating the four big volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest- Rainier, Adams, St Helens, and Hood. Richard shares how and why he planned this and how he handled the good times and bad times along the way. Richard and one of my best friends Calvin (you've heard him on the show before...and if you haven't..how dare you!)have created and begun training for a big project this summer so we'll have them both back on the show in the future to chat about that! Also, heads up that there are a few poor audio moments in this episode. Richard, being a badass Mountain athlete, was driving back from weekend adventures and Skype failed a few times. Only happened a few times, but wanted to give you a heads up! You guys rock! We'll be back at you next week!

Chris Kresser, L.Ac., an acupuncturist, licensed integrative medicine clinician and codirector of the California Center for Functional Medicine, is widely recognized for his contributions to the ancestral nutrition movement. As many leaders in and promoters of functional medicine, Kresser is a wounded healer, whose interest in alternative disciplines developed because conventional medicine failed him.

Richard Kresser loves a challenge. One of those has been on his radar for six years.  The Arrowhead 135 is an endurance event held in Minnesota during one of the coldest times of the year.  Temperatures are regularly below zero (Fahrenheit), including a record -42° in 2011.  This does NOT include the wind chill!  This race could be the anti-hero of the Badwater 135 and brings with it some very unique challenges including: gear you must carry.  Usually pulled in a pulk (a sled that the runners pull behind them) shoes? sleep? cold acclimatization hydrating & keeping your water liquid only 3 aid stations wearing latex gloves

This might just be the most important conversation in a podcast that I have this entire year - and one of the most important podcasts you listen to as well. Chris and I address the MASSIVE health care problem we're facing with the progression of chronic disease. It's a problem that could bankrupt our country within the next 35-40 years. Yes, it's that big. Yes, it's that serious. But don't worry, we talk about some really awesome, progressive potential solutions too. Later in the conversation, Chris gives us a peek inside of his personal life, giving us a chance to learn from some of the strategies he's adopted to keep his life happy, healthy, productive and balanced.

The traditional health care system is not designed to handle the multitude of chronic problems we face in our modern world." - Chris Kresser The world is looking at the greatest health care crisis it has ever seen. Chronic disease is shortening our lifespan, destroying our quality of life, bankrupting governments, and threatening the health of future generations. Sadly, conventional medicine, with its focus on managing symptoms, has failed to address this challenge. The result is burned-out physicians, a sicker population, and a broken health care system.

He is the creator of ChrisKresser.com, one of the top 25 natural health sites in the world, and the author of the New York Times best seller, Your Personal Paleo Code (published in paperback in December 2014 as The Paleo Cure). Chris was recently named by Greatist.com as one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness, along with Michelle Obama, Michael Pollan, Dr. Andrew Weil, Tim Ferriss, Mark Sisson, Robb Wolf and Dr. Mercola—and his work is frequently cited in national publications such as Time, The Atlantic, and NPR, and on Dr. Oz and Fox & Friends, where he has appeared as a guest. Chris has been studying, practicing, and teaching alternative medicine for more than fifteen years. He did his undergraduate work at UC Berkeley, and studied Chinese and integrative medicine at the Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College, also in Berkeley. He has trained with world-renowned healers and educators in a variety of disciplines throughout the U.S., Thailand, and Indonesia. Chris’s work is informed by his own experience recovering from a chronic, complex illness which began while he was traveling in Southeast Asia in his early 20s. After seeing more than twenty doctors around the world and spending thousands of dollars in an effort to diagnose and treat his condition, Chris decided to take his health into his own hands. Through extensive study and research, continual self-experimentation, and formal training in integrative medicine, he recovered from this debilitating illness and went on to share what he learned with others through his popular blog, podcast, and private practice. Chris teaches and practices functional medicine, a personalized approach to health care that recognizes the biological uniqueness of each patient. In contrast to conventional care, which is almost entirely focused on suppressing symptoms, functional medicine eliminates symptoms by addressing the underlying cause of a problem. It is an evidence-based field of health care that views the body as an interconnected whole, and recognizes the importance of these connections in health and disease.

Etter forrige episode, hvor vi forsøke å gjennomgå noen grunntanker rundt det å tenke skeptisk om helse og ernæring, gjør vi i denne episoden en “case-studie” innenfor samme tema, og spør “hva er paleo?”    Paleo er et mildt sagt omdiskutert begrep, og det florerer av vrangforestillinger. Vi forsøker å ta for oss noen av de mest utbredte, og fortsetter vår utforskning fra forrige gang om hva evolusjonsteorien kan fortelle oss mer om helse. Målet vårt er ikke å endelig legge alle fakta på bordet, men heller oppfordre til mer tenking og konstruktive samtaler om disse tema, hinsides enkle motsetninger.    For de som vil lese mer, her er noen kilder og anbefalt litteratur:   Richard Wrangham, Catching fire (2009) Daniel Lieberman, The Story of the Human Body (2011) Robb Wolf, The paleo solution (2011), Wired to eat (2017), har en nettside med mye nyttig info og gode artikler av ham og andre forfattere, https://robbwolf.com, samt podcasten The paleo solution Stephan Guynet, The hungry brain (2017) Pål Jåbekk, Helt naturlig mat og trening (2013) Chris Kresser, The paleo cure (2014), nettsiden hans https://chriskresser.com, og podcasten Revolution Health Radio (corny produksjon, og Kresser høres kontinuerlig ganske trøtt ut, men innholdet er strålende) Loren Cordain, The paleo diet (2001, oppdatert utgave 2010), se også hans nettside http://thepaleodiet.com John Durant, The paleo manifesto (2014)   Takk for at du hører på! Send oss gjerne tilbakemeldinger (larsogpaal@gmail.com), og kanskje, særlig i forbindelse med de to siste episodene, dine egne erfaringer med formidling og skepsis. Vi mennesker hører som kjent det vi vil, og det er slående hvor vanskelig det er å ha en fornuftig og stråmannfri diskusjon om disse tema. (Prøv heller en “stålmann”!

Nearly half of all adults in the United States have one such health condition, while 25% have two or more of these chronic illnesses. And as of now, we are spending close to 20% of our nation’s GDP on disease management. But here’s the thing - chronic diseases are also among the most preventable of all health problems. In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, we sit down with Chris Kresser - a globally recognized leader in the fields of ancestral health, Paleo nutrition, and functional and integrative medicine. Chris has been studying, practicing, and teaching alternative medicine for more than fifteen years. He has trained with world-renowned healers and educators in a variety of disciplines throughout the U.S., Thailand, and Indonesia. His website, ChrisKresser.com is one of the top 25 natural health sites in the world, and his book, Your Personal Paleo Code, was a New York Times best seller.  Chris helps us explore the practice of functional medicine and how environment and behavior can have serious implications when it comes to some of the most chronic health issues. He delves into gut bacteria, diet myths, sugar, and carbs. And he discusses just why the current system of health care is focused on treating symptoms, when the focus should really be on addressing the underlying causes of the problem. There is a profound connection between diet and disease, and Chris helps shed light on what we can do to and the changes we can start making right now to achieve a better sense of health and well-being.

This week welcome to the show Chris Kresser.s a globally recognized leader in the fields of ancestral health, Paleo nutrition, and functional and integrative medicine. He is the creator of Chris Kresser dot com, one of the top 25 natural health sites in the world, and the author of the New York Times best seller, Your Personal Paleo Code (published in paperback in December 2014 as The Paleo Cure). Chris has been studying, practicing, and teaching alternative medicine for more than fifteen years. Chris’s work is informed by his own experience recovering from a chronic, complex illness which began while he was traveling in Southeast Asia in his early 20s. After seeing more than twenty doctors around the world and spending thousands of dollars in an effort to diagnose and treat his condition, Chris decided to take his health into his own hands. Through extensive study and research, continual self-experimentation, and formal training in integrative medicine, he recovered from this debilitating illness and went on to share what he learned with others through his popular blog, podcast, and private practice. Questions we ask in this episode: What is functional medicine and how does it address those problems? How do genes and environmental factors play a part in our longterm health. Gut health... is this a buzz word or do we need to carefully consider it. What are the fundamental problems with conventional medicine? What are your non-­negotiables, to be the best version of yourself? Shop: http://shop.180nutrition.com.au/   This week we are doing it with the awesome Chris Kresser. [00:01:00] I was very excited to get Chris on the show. I've been listening to his podcast for quite some time, and he was just the perfect gentleman, a great guy, and insane amount of wealth and knowledge. Myself and Stu picked his brains for an hour and got stuck into all sorts of topics. If you're not familiar with Chris, he is a globally recognized leader in the fields of functional and integrative medicine. He's also the creator of chriskresser.com, which is one of the top 25 natural health sites in the world. He is also the author of the New York Times bestselling book, "Your Personal Paleo Code". We got into Chris's own journey, how he got into the functional medicine in the first place, which was driven by his own issues and pain. Then from there, what he's learned along the way, and from diagnosis, and what exactly is functional medicine, and how we can apply it and how it can help us to live healthier and happier lives as well. I have no doubt you're going to enjoy the show guys. [00:02:00] I just wanted to mention as well, if you haven't been back to our website, 180nutrition.com.eu, we're always updating it, and we've updated the actual website only a couple of weeks ago to make it much more user-friendly to find the content that's in there. We're constantly adding new products as well, ones that we believe and stand by. Not sure if you knew, but we've brought in a [180 Greens Plus 00:01:47] product. That's been doing fantastically well since we released that. We've also brought in [Alglutemine 00:01:53] as well, which is designed to help the small intestine, and also help recovery as well and muscle aches. It's worth getting over there, check out what we got guys, because they're all there, the tools that we use, and they're there to design to help you and serve your purpose so we can all improve our nutritional health, and ultimately live a happier life as well. Go back there to 180nutrition.com.eu. Anyway, let's go over to Chris Kresser. Enjoy. [00:02:30] Hey, this is Guy Lawrence. I'm joined with Stewart Cook as always. Hi Stu. Good to see you there. Stu Hello Guy. Guy Our awesome guest today is Mr. Chris Kresser. Welcome to the show buddy. Chris Hey Guy, Stu. Happy to be here, thanks for inviting me. Guy Oh it's an honor, man. Stu Thanks for coming on. Guy Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're big fans of your work, and it's going to be great to dig in for the next hour, I tell you. What I've generally been doing lately, Chris, is asking two questions to kick off the show. The first one's a short one basically: If a stranger stopped you on the street and asked you what you did for a living, what would you say? Chris That really depends on who asks. It's a tricky question. I'll typically say that I train clinicians in functional medicine. Then they'll say, "What the heck is functional medicine," and we have a conversation about it. That really is how ... There are a lot of things that I do, but that's the thing that I'm most passionate about right now. That would probably be how I'd answer the question today, but six months ago I might have answered it a different way, and maybe in two years I'll answer it still a different way, we'll see.   Full Transcript & Video Version: http://180nutrition.com.au/180-tv/chris-kresser-interview/

Chris Kresser is a health detective specializing in investigative medicine, blogger, podcaster, teacher and a Paleo diet and lifestyle enthusiast.

Now that is a quote from Chris Kresser, who is a good one to be quoting from!  Chris is one of the leading voices in nutrition and wellness today, and in fact when I look up something technical, more times than not I type into google “Chris Kresser on- whatever it is!”  He is that good, so check him out at www.chriskresser.com  You can always find something valuable.  Oh, and he has a podcast too! The reason I like that quote so much is that it is so simple, and the very best advice usually is succinct, direct and simple.  Something we can latch onto immediately, and adopt into our lives. (And Health!)  This about it: we all know what paleo eating, and living entails.  No bread or wheat products, almost no grains, real natural foods in minimally processed forms, pastured meats and dairy, some fruits, and loads and loads of vegetables!  A good night’s sleep each and every night, getting out into nature as often as possible, and good family and friends (tribal) relationships.  Some form of regular physical exercise, and a minimizing of stress in our lives. Now, there can be infinite small variations of this formula.  Perhaps you can’t tolerate dairy, or maybe just some kinds of dairy.  Some folks can handle hard cheeses, but not soft ones.  Or Ghee, but not butter.  Perhaps you have trouble with fruit if you eat too much of it for you- lots of fruit can make you insulin resistant just like candy can. Fermented foods can help our gut microbiome dramatically, as can probiotics and probiotics in the form of potato starch, plantains or apple cider vinegar.  Some can’t abide yogurt, or kefir.  Some of us are respond better to endurance based exercise, since they have more slow twitch muscle fibers, and vice versa. But the takeaway point is just this: Paleo is a Great Starting Point!  Just get started, outlining what you need to change in your life to make both your life and your health better.  A step at a time is fine, you don’t need to jump in and do everything at once, perfectly.  Just get started with the basics.  Stop eating processed foods, don’t go to fast food places.  Give up bread and cereal and pasta!  Just those things will get you about halfway there to Paleo good health!  Start making yourself a Paleo Smoothie to drink each and every day.  One canister full in my Vitamix, poured into Ball canning jars and put in my fridge can last me 3 or 4 days.  (Recipe is in the fabulous paperback or eBook version of PaleoJay’s Smoothie Cafe) or at www.paleojay.com   The final point to remember is that Paleo is a journey, not a destination.  Like our lives are, actually.  When I started

No one should ever wish tragedy into their own or other’s lives, but it has the potential to lead to some incredibly beneficial life changes. Chris Kresser transformed a decade long struggle with a rare chronic disease into something that benefits society. He was able to restore himself to health and is now doing the same for others. His main piece of advice, “eat real food,” is deceptively simple until you look at the food trends in American culture and realize that the majority of the people the majority of the time are doing no such thing. It may be the single most important thing you can do for your well being. Kresser explains why.Lessons:    1.    To stay focused, create a pointed mission in life; do everything that delivers you towards that mission, eliminate those things that don’t.    2.    In order to accomplish your goals, you have to be a whole person: if you don’t optimize your physical and mental well being, then you’re not much help to others.    3.    Eat real food. Maximize nutrient dense whole foods and minimize those that come from a box, bag or can or use sugar, white flour or seed oils.
