Mike Julian has been a great friend and taught me a LOT over the past six years or so! Shortly after I kicked it off the Optimising Nutrition Facebook Group, Mike was making so many insightful contributions I asked him to become an admin. Back in the day, we had a very unique group of people who would share their research and insights - Tommy Wood, Robb Wolf, Raymund Edwards, Luis Villasenor and a cast of people who were eager to learn more about nutrition and metabolism. It made for a unique learning environment. It was a great hive mind of sharing of ideas. We all learned a LOT and were able to see things in a fairly impartial manner. You may or may not have heard of Mike Julian. But I think of him as like the Illuminati pulling the strings behind many of the biggest names in nutrition including Robb Wolf, Ted Naiman, Ketogains & Craig Emmerich's recent book Keto. I have learned so much about how human metabolism really works, and how to improve it, from Mike who has been a pioneer in digesting the research, joining the dots and sharing it freely. In this chat, we discussed many of the key concepts in Big Fat Keto Lies, including: - What are the biggest misunderstandings and misconceptions in nutrition and metabolism at the moment? - Why is the Personal Fat Threshold central to our understanding of diabetes and metabolic health? - What is ketosis? How does it work? What do you think is the biggest misunderstanding around ketosis? - Do fat calories matter? Why is there so much confusion? - How are blood glucose and blood lipids interrelated? - What do people really need to know about lipidology? - What are the limitations of high protein % or MORE protein? How do you know when you've had too much? - What are your hopes for the future in the realm of nutrition and metabolism?

Sacred Cow Exploring the latest on COVID-19 and the breaking news about a lab leak hypothesis gaining traction and the efficacy of ivermectin. The toxicity of "cancel culture" and being opening to different possibilities for COVID-19 instead of seeing the vaccine as the only real solution. Examples of cancel culture and every day censorship including YouTube taking down Dr. Pierre Coriat's public statement to the US government about the possibility of healing COVID-19 with ivermectin. What we may see happen if it's determined that ivermectin was and is actually a beneficial treatment especially for those who are unable to get the vaccine due to other health concerns. The Paleo Solution Josh's recent experience doing a Native American Vision Quest for 10 days with a 4 day water fast and what he gained from it. Why we need to focus on less anger and more truth in our world.   [15:00] How To Beat Brain Fog Breaking down how electrolytes can help heal brain fog. Why our PH and electrolyte levels need to be tightly regulated and what can happen if they go up or down by even just a little bit. The fact that having too low of sodium in our bodies is a much graver situation than having too much. Other common sources of brain fog including immunogenic foods such as eggs for Robb in his case. 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley Why our sodium intake decreases dramatically when we shift to a whole food, minimally processed diet because most of our sodium came from the processed foods we ate before. Everyday food products to help you keep your sodium levels normal if you feel a dip in energy and brain fog including chicken bouillon cubes, pickle juice, and olives. Why we tend to be scared of sodium because we so often associate it with processed foods. How electrolytes can be a good source to boost your energy in the afternoon rather than another cup of coffee. Why there really is no beneficial difference in the source of sodium you consume whether that is sea salt or refined table salt. Guillermo Ruiz  Why iodine was first introduced to foods like salt because in the early 1900s people suffered goiters due to living more interior and not consuming fish as often. The difference between iodized salt and pink Himalayan sea salt and what to be aware of when we consider the minerals that are available.   [31:00] LMNT's Health Mission For The World LMNT's mission and their focus to give you a product that tastes good and it's very convenient. Josh's biohacking experiments comparing drinking just water vs drinking LMNT both during and after a sauna session. 400 Cal Callahan Tyler Cartwright Luis Villasenor Keto Gains The fact that the main demographic that LMNT Co-Founders, Tyler Cartwright and Luis Villasenor, work with are women between the ages of 35 and 60. How LMNT's formula came to be after looking at 300 different diet records of people who largely ate a whole, un-processed low carb diet. How their product will help you address your sodium issues to improve your wellness. Why it's hard to keep your magnesium levels healthy if you're depleted in sodium. 140 Chris Kresser   [42:00] Sodium Intake Truths & Myths Exploring the truths and myths about sodium intake especially during pregnancy, water tension, and hypertension. The fact that 80% of people are facing an underlying issue of hyperinsulinemia and their food choices are a primary driver of that. Unpacking why hypertensive individuals that are put on a low sodium diet don't really see a change in their blood pressure. Why hydration is not synonymous with water but with both water and electrolytes. How we get into a hyponatremic state when we keep drinking water but our sodium levels are very low. Why our hands, feet, and also brain swell when we over-hydrate and experience edema. What happens when we sweat and why we mainly excrete sodium but not really potassium and magnesium. Discussing when you should consume LMNT: pre, during, or post your workout or sauna. How adequate post training or post stress sodium dramatically enhances recovery because of its connection to cortisol release. What quantity of LMNT Robb personally drinks before going to the gym, class prep, and doing jiu jitsu exercise as a practical example. How Robb's focus on nutrition in the past compared to now has dramatically improved his personal wellness. Andy Stumpf | Cleared Hot Podcast Why it's important to keep your electrolytes stable pre, peri, and post workout for greater recovery. What you might experience if you consume too much LMNT or sodium. Why LMNT might taste very sweet when you're low on sodium and then you notice the sodium taste when you're leveled. Signs that you don't have enough electrolytes in our body's system including cramping as a late stage sign.   [58:00] Are You Drinking Too Much Water? How Robb adds the chocolate flavored LMNT to his 2nd cup of coffee in the morning. What we do to disrupt our electrolyte status without even realizing it. Why Robb probably wouldn't even need the LMNT in his 2nd cup if he didn't drink as much coffee in his first mug. Why Robb believes our Paleo ancestors did not consume as much water as we're advised to drink today. How butchering techniques can increase or decrease the amount of sodium and potassium in our meats. Force Of Nature Meats Who shouldn't consume LMNT: those with hypertension and existing blood pressure. Why women can experience increased insulin resistance and gestational diabetes during their pregnancy. Why you may want to consider a low carb diet to improve your wellness if LMNT is not a good fit for you. Lily Nichols Why what a woman eats before and during her pregnancy can impact her insulin resistance. Exploring when a woman could consume supplements and electrolytes such as LMNT during her pregnancy. Why LMNT is great for a woman who is breastfeeding to help with latching and increasing breast milk supply.   [1:16:00] Honoring Your Own Health Our connection to nature and that we come from the earth. What wellness means to Robb one year later after episode 357 Robb Wolf | Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat. Being respectful of ourselves by honoring our time, focus and energy. How to put up healthy boundaries for yourself to help you live life well. The importance of health freedom and taking care of yourself. How to think for yourself and your own wellbeing. Paleovalley - Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code 'JOSH' Belcampo Meat Co Botanic Tonics breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   The Dangers Of Low Electrolyte Levels   "Somewhere along the line hydration became synonymous with water but it is not. If you look in a textbook of medical physiology, hydration is water and electrolytes in specific ratios. If you just add water you end up in a hyponatremic state; a low sodium state and this explains things like hand swelling. Most people are familiar with experiencing their hands swelling up when they go hiking and they drink lots of water, they're sweating like crazy, and they're swelling up because virtually nobody supplements with sodium... ...When our sodium levels are low, we will tend to get edema and this is when our hands, feet, and brain will also swell. This is what kills people when they over hydrate with only water like in hazing events or while training for and running in marathons. The next time you go hiking, drink pickle juice or LMNT, and notice how you don't swell." - Robb Wolf   Why Sodium Is So Important When You Sweat   "When we sweat, we mainly excrete sodium. We don't really excrete potassium or magnesium; there's a little bit but it's orders of magnitude different. So, in that high sweat scenario: a sauna, exercise, ruck marching; stuff like that - you need to mainly focus on sodium. Over the course of a month yes we need sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphates, bicarbonates - all of the electrolytes but in that time course of a hard, physical event or sauna, the main problem is the rapid and significant loss of sodium. So, that is another reason why you really have to target that." - Robb Wolf   Achieving Stable Sodium Levels Pre, Peri, and Post Workout     "Adequate post training or post stress sodium dramatically enhances recovery and there are a ton of mechanisms for why but one of the things that adequate sodium levels effect is cortisol release because it's less of a stress. If the body is getting adequate sodium, it's signalling the body that it's okay and it has enough nutrient resources to be able to recover. So pre workout sodium intake is really important depending on the duration of the event and then on the recovery side we also need adequate sodium and electrolytes.... ...During the workout, sipping a drink like LMNT that will keep you well hydrated. When I was trying to do training like this ten plus years ago I would just be absolutely crushed after a workout and I think it was because I wasn't properly addressing my electrolyte levels like I am today. This pre, peri, and then post supplementation is really important to be on point if you want to optimize the whole workout experience." - Robb Wolf   Links From Today's Show  Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Click here to get your FREE e-book, The Fundamental Guide To Fasting by Robb Wolf 357 Robb Wolf 103 Robb Wolf The Case For Better Meat | Robb Wolf What Is Wellness?

First up was Ketogains' Luis Villasenor. He suggested that we should get together and talk about what a healthy low carb or keto diet should look like. You can watch our chat here. We covered a broad range of important questions, including: Why is protein important for fat loss, body composition, diabetes management? Is there a protein target that most people should aim for? How do nutrition/protein recommendations change for older people? What are the biggest misconceptions when it comes to protein? Ketogains talk about using “fat as a lever”? What does that mean? When does “healthy fat” become something we should minimise/reduce/avoid? What foods do you recommend most people eat? How does that change for fat loss, muscle gain/bulking?

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.

Elle Russ chats with KETOGAINS co-founders Luis Villesenor and Tyler Cartwright.   Luis has always been passionate about fitness due to a personal interest in improving his own physique. Always curious in learning the “whys and how’s” of how it all works, he has been studying and researching nutrition and strength training since he was 17.Upon discovering ketogenic diets in 2001, Luis has been on a low carb regime ever since, which he has used to favorably recomposition his body and improve his health.   Luis decided to develop KETOGAINS to share his experiences and knowledge and help people attain their health and fitness goals. Luis is regarded as one of the most experienced and knowledgeable persons on Low-Carb / Ketogenic dieting, and is the “go to guy” when applying a Low-Carb diet for Bodybuilding and Strength Training by well-known and respected insiders, leaders, influencers of the low carb/paleo and general fitness community. Tyler Cartwright has a fascination with learning, reading, and self-improvement. A decade ago, with his weight at a hulking 505 lbs, his doctor told him, "All-in-all you're as healthy as a horse, but you're also as big as one.  I'm not going to test your blood for what I know we will find, because I think you can fix this with diet and exercise."  After pressing the issue, he tested his blood at a private lab and found his HbA1c to be over 13 (Type 2 Diabetes).  Upon hearing that, he embarked on a journey to leverage that knowledge along with some passing experience and knowledge of a ketogenic diet to improve what was sure to be a food-shortened life.  Along the way, in addition to resolving Type 2 diabetes, he shed 295 lbs without the aid of surgery or medication.  His wife has lost over 125 lbs.    Ketogains can assist you with your fitness and health goals through the knowledge, experience, and passion of their multidisciplinary team of professionals with varied and complimentary experiences, qualifications, and skills that have helped define and refine their protocols: Nutritionists, Fitness Trainers, Health Coaches, MDs, Dentists, Plastic Surgeons and Scientists and Researchers are part of our Coaching and Advisory Team.   SELECTED LINKS Ketogains.com

Marty Kendall is an engineer, a speaker, and a writer. He’s analyzed a bunch of data and built some cool, free technology. He’s also brought a lot of people together who are working on cutting edge, practical information. He runs a group where some of the smartest people in nutrition are interacting daily, sharing information and studies and clinical experience. This includes Dr. Ted Naiman who was my first guest and who we bring up a few times in this episode. These are not anti-carb people, they aren’t dogmatic, they don’t let other interests or beliefs enter the picture. They're after information and truth and are working towards healing people and changing lives. They’re coming at this from all sides and from all over the world. Some are doing the research, some are just interpreting it and thinking about it from new angles. Ted is in the clinic daily, putting it into practice and reversing diabetes. Marty is building tools and thinking about it from his engineering perspective. I love people who think about it this way - I’m like a broken record, because I’m an engineer too. We need to stop thinking that only a doctor can be an expert on nutrition. Why would they be? They have extremely little or no nutrition specific training. They are brilliant when it comes to a million other things, but they aren't the end-all be-all of nutrition They can be though. But so can an engineer who dedicates years of their life to researching a topic. Not everyone who does this will be smart or correct, but some are. These are the people I get on the podcast. Ivor Cummins, Tucker Goodrich, Gabor Erdosi, Dave Feldman soon, and now Marty Kendall. There’s many more as well, and I’ll continue to find them. Enough of my ranting - just a quick word on the Food Lies documentary. It’s going really well and being pushed forward daily. I just booked our trip to Maryland to film with Dr. Bill Schindler. Go back to listen to that episode if you missed it. There’s only about 11 days left on the Indiegogo.com crowdfunding page. Please go there to preorder the film. There’s a link in the show notes in your podcast app and on peak-human.com. You also can search for Food Lies on Indiegogo or go to FoodLies.org to learn more. Now please take a listen to Marty and I talk about my favorite topic - nutrient density. http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post   Show Notes Marty Kendall runs the great site http://optimisingnutrition.com and the facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1419823171384689/ Ted Naiman, Robb Wolf, Luis Villasenor, and Tyler Cartwright (ketogains) all collaborate with him to figure this nutrition stuff out What is nutrient density? Matt Lalonde’s presentation at AHS 2012 https://youtu.be/HwbY12qZcF4 Cronometer is a great app to track food and nutrients https://cronometer.com Nutrient dense foods are less insulinogenic, more satiating, and less energy dense Try to quantify things because nutrition is confusing enough I disagree with Joel Fuhrman’s nutrient density scoring system His version of nutrient density is variable and is based on what you personally aren’t getting enough of If you’re getting enough micronutrients, you’re very likely to be getting all the protein you need Can’t make a perfect diet because too many factors - season, cost, preference, etc. Some of the most nutrient dense and satiating foods are leafy greens, fish eggs, seafood, liver We’ve always sought after nutritious foods throughout history, with or without knowing it He mentions my recent episode with Tucker Goodrich https://www.peak-human.com/home/tucker-goodrich-on-vegetable-oils-being-at-the-heart-of-modern-disease on seed oils and how unnatural and energy dense they are Modern foods are engineered to trick us - they tastes delicious, but have no nutrition The book The Dorito Effect chronicles this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22609354-the-dorito-effect?from_search=true It’s a cliche for a reason - eat real foods Trying to formulate a low insulin diet for his wife with type 1 diabetes that is also nutrient dense What are the most nutrient dense foods? Amazing benefits of seafood Modern food is dog food - stuffed with cheap grains and vegetable oils with huge profit margins for big food manufacturers at the expense of the consumer’s health Satiety Used 587,000 day worth of publicly available food data from MyFitnessPal to do some data crunching Fed state, glucagon, and type 1 diabetes closed system insulin pump How to eat less and manage hunger?

Luis is a smart and level-headed guy that doesn't get caught up in a lot of dietary dogma. He has been helping people lose weight and get in better shape for many, many years. He’s the cofounder of an awesome community called Ketogains. You need to google some photos of him to make sure you appreciate the advice he gives. He definitely is proving you can gain muscle on a keto diet even though most people believe you need a ton of carbs to do so. Take a listen and I think you’ll enjoy his simple message, which is definitely not just for people trying to get swole. I’ve gained muscle on somewhat of a ketogenic diet over past 6 months and just released a video on youtube showing all the details because a lot of people have been asking about it. We also are back on Indiegogo with new “It’s what else you eat, not the meat” shirts and now unisex tank tops. We still need your support to make the Food Lies film happen. My production partner and I are matching every dollar that comes in, but we still have a ways to go to reach the full budget. Thanks so much and enjoy the episode. Preorder Food Lies http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post   Show Notes Luis is the co-founder of KetoGains.com but it’s not all about bodybuilding. It’s more about nutrition and staying fit and many clients are middle aged women. It’s not only low carb all the time, but it’s usually better His story of being chubby as a kid, then skinny as a teen Used a low carb approach to gain muscle after college Fat is a lever His rhyme: Protein is a goal to make you grow, carbs are a limit to stay below, and fat is a fuel so you are not slow Don't chase ketones, chase results You don’t really need to be measuring ketone levels unless you are using keto in a therapeutic context to treat a disease What is the role of protein and how much do you actually need? Gluconeogenesis Just eat nutrient dense foods and don’t worry about counting calories or ketones Your body doesn't know what you are deficient in Can be malnourished and obese at the same time Answer is nutrient dense foods Can’t replace one bad habit with another At some point you have to reduce calories one way or another Our ancestors managed calories naturally Prehistoric fruits were much different in edible mass and lower sugar People thinking baked apple pie with agave is part of a healthy paleo diet Need to change your relationship with food Got no time for keto breads and cheats Food has become and entertainment industry.

Cheesecake exists - it's your job to eat it responsibly Cost is not an excuse - eating healthy can actually be cheaper Can easily eat for $5-7 per day Sardines are cheap, delicious, and super nutrient dense Luis’s best sources of protein and vegetables More efficient metabolism when very fat adapted and eating low carb for a long time Evolutionary perspective on getting the most energy from things we do You can pig out at a bbq and just make it a warrior meal and not have to eat again for 22 hours and you’ll be fine Intermittent fasting and condensed eating windows, or as he calls it “intelligent intermittent fasting” Training fasted is not good for building muscle Appropriate feasting after fasting Gaining muscle on a ketogenic diet Insulin is a nutrient transport signaling hormone Can you lose weight and/or remain thin while building muscle at the same time?

Ketogains founder, Luis Villasenor, is today’s guest interview. Luis shares with us how we can gain muscle and improve body composition using the ketogenic diet. He helps to explain why we don’t need lots of carbohydrates to grow and maintain muscle and how our body makes glycogen without them. We then find out about how to work out the optimal amounts of protein, carbs and fat we need for our health goals. We also go into discussing weight loss, training tips, timing protein shakes, best protein sources, insulin, best fat sources, training schedule, muscle soreness and strength training for women. Go to the show notes for episode 60 at https://www.biohackerslab.com/ep60-luis-villasenor/ for more links & highlights. Support the show.

Join me as I interview Luis Villasenor to discuss all things keto and strength training, as well as some common keto pitfalls.

Join this dynamic roundtable of kool keto kids Brad Kearns (co-author of Keto Reset Diet and Instagram @bradkearns1), Brian McAndrew (KetoReset.com success story, the filmmaker and audio master for all primal content, and Instagram @wholedoods), Layla McGowan (co-author of Keto Reset Instant Pot Cookbook and Instagram @strong.and.wellfed), and Dr. Lindsay Taylor (co-author of Keto Reset Instant Pot Cookbook and Keto Reset Cookbook and Instagram @theusefuldish)  The group discusses the matters of the day in the Keto Reset Facebook community and the keto movement at large. In particular, are we applying an overly regimented, high-stress approach to our keto goals? Layla says we shouldn't even worry about our macros until we have established a strong foundation of healthy, nutrient-dense eating and a sensible (i.e., NOT chronic) exercise program. Brian, who has been hard-core keto for 2+ years, explains that to reduce temptation and decision fatigue, he relies on a simple rotation of repeating meals that he enjoys. This was also a great insight from Luis Villasenor from KetoGains.com, who encourages people who are just getting started to eat the same exact thing every day (you know the macros work!) for a while until you build some momentum. Brad explains how 2018 has been about living in the “keto zone” for him, where some days or blocks of time are keto-aligned (under 50 grams of carbs per day) and other periods are more liberal with carb intake (especially in conjunction with strenuous workouts.) The group wonders whether an extreme approach to anything, be it athletic training or dietary compliance, might lead to a burnout rebound effect.   The group discusses the common dilemma of how to adjust keto strategy to align with athletic goals, and also tackle the frustrating issue of social media pressures influencing body image. The question is posed: how much (re: results) is enough, where further results just aren't worth the hassle? The audience is also reminded that our cultural ideas are typically fake people - often doped up, airbrushed, or primed for a single photo opportunity with a physique that is vastly different than their day to day average appearance..  Enjoy the show, and send your questions and feedback about the podcast to info@ketoreset.com   LINKS: Olympic runner Lauren Fleshman with a great blog post about the difference between runway physique and everyday physique, even in the same week!

When you do strength training on a carb-based diet, you need a lot of carbs to build and maintain mass.  However, those rules go out the window when you follow a ketogenic diet and become fat-adapted. Building muscle and getting stronger without depending on carbs is completely possible on keto. Today Luis Villasenor explains exactly how to optimize your ketogenic diet for muscle building, including how much protein to eat, the best fuel sources, and the electrolytes you need.  Luis is the founder of Ketogains, a website that helps people achieve an optimal body recomposition through a ketogenic diet and fine-tune their diet to reach their health goals.  He has been powerlifting and strength training on a keto diet for years, so he's living proof you don't need to load up on carbs to grow.  Join us to learn how a keto diet can boost your gains -- carb-free.

Co-hosts Elle Russ and Brad Kearns provide an exciting account of the many highlights of the amazing 2018 Paleo F(x) show, April 27-29 in Austin, TX.

Highlights from the informative Keto panel discussion and the endurance training panel discussion, where Brad and Mark and others talked about the importance of a relaxed approach to training and finding activities that get you into the flow state. They discuss the dynamic format of the show with indoor individual presentations and panel discussions, outdoor physical workshops, and the many interesting vendors from the show.    Brad clears up the misconceptions around the booming popularity of exogenous ketone supplementation and discusses some best practices. The Primal Health Coach Tribe was out in full force, and had a fabulous lunchtime picnic, Ultimate Frisbee game with Mark, and running technique workshop with Brad. Elle talks about the importance of connection and group energy, mentioning the awesome VIP speaker party where she mingled with the coolest people on the planet, like the Lamberts of the Bee the Wellness podcast.

Welcome to Episode 11 of the Ketodontist Podcast!  SUPER excited for our guest today.  His name is Tyler Cartwright.  He is leads the group KetoGains alongside previous show guest Luis Villasenor. This is part 1 of 2. Tyler has a fascination with learning, reading, and self-improvement as a person.  It's truly a bit of an obsession for him - with a personal library which currently clocks in at just north of 2300 books!  At his heaviest he weighed in at 505 lbs, and set out on a journey of self-discovery and leveraged his love of learning with his backgound in science to arrive at a ketogenic diet as a tool for his weight loss.  After over a decade of eating a ketogenic diet, and having lost 295 pounds, he has helped to move the Ketogains community forward as one of the most successful communities of contextualized thought on the use of a ketogenic diet and the applications for fat loss, sports performance, and how to help people transform their lives.  The Ketogains clients have lost in excess of 20,000 in the last 18 months, and countless lives have been changed because of his insight, common-sense, and practical applications to diet, health, training, and living. In this episode we discuss:  How Tyler has lost almost 300 lbs over the last decade. Tyler's past struggles with his weight. How Atkins was a great start for him, and how his nutrition has evolved from there. How he met Luis and how they ended up collaborating for KetoGains. How Keto seems to attract Questioners and Rebels (ie Gretchen Ruben's The Four Tendencies) Why people get so hostile or defensive when discussing nutrition. Why "Lazy" Keto works, until it doesn't. Why there is almost no such thing as "unprocessed" food anymore. Why extended fasting may not be a great idea for some folks. And more!

Basic Strategies For Successful Fat Loss - Luis Villasenor Of Ketogains by Tristan Haggard

Tim JP Collins is a British entrepreneur and host of The Anxiety Podcast. In a former life as an executive, Tim reached a tipping point onstage during a big presentation and has since turned his life around to overcome his anxiety and is now helping other people do the same. Looking back Tim realised that he’d created the perfect storm: Lots of travel away from home and family. Drinking alcohol in excess and too often. Staying up late and then waking up with gallons of coffee. Years of bodily abuse with bad food & not enough exercise. Working in a job that created no meaning. During this interview, you’ll find out how Tim conquered his anxiety. Tim mentioned: Luis Villasenor from Ketogains. The Ultimate Guide To Reinventing Yourself by James Altucher. I mentioned: Minimalism, a Documentary About the Important Things. The Keto Summit. Part two of this conversation is on Tim’s podcast, where I talk about the connection between chronic inflammation and anxiety, and how some of the changes Tim made may have been measurable in blood: Anxiety disorders and inflammation in a large adult cohort Inflammatory markers included C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor-necrosis factor (TNF)-a. Elevated levels of CRP were found in men, but not in women. Interleukin 6 is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response, e.g. during infection and after trauma. (TNF)-a is a cell signaling protein (cytokine) involved in systemic inflammation and is one of the cytokines that make up the acute phase reaction. It is produced chiefly by activated macrophages, although it can be produced by many other cell types such as CD4+ lymphocytes, NK cells, neutrophils, mast cells, eosinophils, and neurons. Immune dysregulation is especially found in persons with a late-onset anxiety disorder. Increasing evidence links anxiety to cardiovascular risk factors and diseases such as atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and coronary heart disease. Chronic stress may initiate changes in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and the immune system, which in turn can trigger depression as well as anxiety.

The week the Visionary from Ketogains Mr Luis Villasenor joins us for a discussion about his 15 year journey in ketosis. How he went from fat kid to the ripped man he is today. Why getting exiled from a Reddit group led him to begin the ketogains forum and how it has grown into one of the (if not THE) ketogenic go to resource on the web today. His view on why ketosis is misunderstood Why people get it so wrong and how educating the masses is his big drive. We also talk about his personal approach to training and how keeping things simple can often be the most effective way to go for optimum results. http://ketogains.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketogains/

(Breather) Covering some great questions from listeners in today’s breather show. Thanks to everyone who wrote in for asking about a variety of topics - from fasting to aerobic vs anaerobic workouts, sugar cravings, how to make good bone broth, and more! We start off on a high note with a message from a listener named Jim who is now happily plantar fasciitis free, thanks to my video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRDC8erSNqw ) showing how to do two stretches that are major game changers for those suffering from plantar fasciitis. Next is a question about the best cooking methods for homemade bone broth. I personally like to put it on simmer for 48 hours and take the extra step of adding in a few tablespoons of white vinegar, which helps draw out nutrients from the bones. And as discussed during my show with Sharon Brown ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2020/02/11/sharon-brown-benefits-of-bone-broth/ ) , a high-quality broth should be gelatinous when refrigerated, because that’s where the good stuff is - in the fat! I’ve also recently been taking 30 grams of collagen powder a day as per Mark Sisson’s advice - why not get a little extra collagen in there? We know that meat on the bone is one of the Four Pillars of the Human Diet ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2019/08/26/shanahan1/ ) , and collagen itself is a very interesting molecule because it has heliotropic benefits, meaning it travels to the areas in your body that need it most! We move onto a discussion of anaerobic vs. aerobic exercise, and a listener shares how maf has improved their tennis game so much that they are now dominating the very people who used to crush them in the game! They credit their success to taking a 3-month hiatus from tennis and doing nothing but “strict maf” runs using the 180 minus age formula ( https://philmaffetone.com/180-formula/ ) (and incorporating plenty of recovery), which allowed them to strengthen their body’s fat-burning capabilities and nurture immune and metabolic function, without pushing themselves so hard that they crashed and experienced burnout. Knowing (or not knowing) when to take it easy can really make or break the success of your fitness program. In fact, this listener reveals that there is a lot of burnout among tennis players! Regardless of which sport you play, remember that all athletes should be careful not to push their bodies too hard. Ultimately, it’s about strengthening your aerobic base, so whatever workouts you do, you’ll be able to launch from a higher fitness platform. Next up is a question from a listener who’s been experiencing cravings for sugar (and more calories in general) in the evening - what’s that all about? Well, since the question comes from someone who 1) has a pretty extreme training regimen, 2) sticks to a strict intermittent fasting schedule, and 3) hasn’t been sleeping enough, then this could be a sign that they’re not getting adequate calories during their eating window. It’s also simply too much stress on the body. Someone with low body fat, who has done 14 Ironman competitions, and is clearly super fit could actually really benefit from consuming more calories, upping carbohydrate intake, and not sticking so diligently to a compressed eating window. Craving sugar in the evening is also usually an indication of being overstressed. When you’re overstressed, your body goes into fight or flight mode because of the overstimulation of your parasympathetic nervous system. Not having a healthy balance of stress and rest patterns throughout your day is what puts you right into sugar craving mode, that those cravings show up at night, when your body is dying for a quick source of energy. Adding more healthy carbohydrates and taking it a little easier should help any listeners who have been experiencing similar symptoms of overstress. Of course, some people are highly fat-adapted and can skip a meal or two with no problems, but it’s really important to be careful, and also realistic about what your capabilities and limits are, especially if you don’t have much experience with fasting. Thanks to everyone who wrote in with inquiries - I appreciate the support, and I look forward to the next batch questions and insightful comments! *TIMESTAMPS:* A listener shares how he was able to cure his Plantar Fasciitis after viewing Brad’s stretches. [05:24] A listener asks about making good bone broth. [07:05] Adhering to Maffetone’s maximum aerobic function theory helps this tennis player’s game. Take 180 minus your age and do your workouts at or below that heart rate. [09:33] Tennis and basketball players need to learn the difference between aerobic workout and an anaerobic session. [12:40] When a person practices intermediate fasting and is extremely vigorous in their workouts, and there is a problem with craving sugar in the evening, that’s a sign of probably not eating enough calories during that eating window. [15:29] Skipping meals should not be done until you are highly fat adapted and feel great.
