In a recent LowCarbUSA®, hosts Doug Reynolds, MHP and Pam Devine, MHP spoke with Dr. Jeremiah Eisenschenk and Dr. Angie Ausban, two prominent practitioners from the Brainerd Lakes area in Minnesota, about the upcoming LowCarbUSA® Metabolic Health Conference in Brainerd Lakes. This one-day event, scheduled for September 21, aims to unite healthcare professionals and the public around the importance of metabolic health. Dr. Eisenschenk, a board-certified Family and Obesity Medicine physician, shared his journey into metabolic health, which began after attending a transformative lecture in 2016. Since then, he has co-founded the Metabolic Health Conference in Brainerd Lakes and Essentia Health – Brainerd Weight Management Department, bringing his expertise to both the hospital and community settings. "I saw some pretty impactful results, even in six months," he noted, reflecting on the positive changes in his patients' health through carbohydrate reduction approaches. Dr. Ausban, who has a background in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, recounted her own evolution in understanding obesity and metabolic health. After co-founding the CentraCare Medical Weight Management program, she became certified in Obesity Medicine and later joined CRMC as the Medical Director of the Metabolic Health and Medical Weight Management Program. "It's not just obesity and diabetes; it's everything—heart disease, stroke, dementia," she emphasized, underscoring the widespread impact of insulin resistance. The one-day event is open to the public, but technical enough to also offer optional CME opportunities for healthcare professionals, carbohydrate reduction meals, and local vendors, fostering a collaborative environment between the community to address the growing metabolic health crisis.  The symposium will feature a diverse lineup of expert speakers, including: Robert Cywes, MD, PhD Gurpreet Padda, MD, MHP, MBA Mark Cucuzzella, MD, FAAFP, MHP Vera Tarman, MD Jeremiah Eisenschenk, MD Angelina Ausban, MD Shawn Roberts, MD. This event is unique for the Brainerd Lakes area, as four health systems have come together to support this initiative—a rare collaboration in today's competitive healthcare landscape. Dr. Eisenschenk highlighted the importance of this unity, saying, "If we can coalesce for this greater mission... any part of America, any part of the world, can do this." In addition to the symposium, a charity golf event was going to be organized by Dr. Ausban's husband, Kevin Smith, but will now be postponed and take place next spring to raise funds for the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners and the local Boys and Girls Club. Dr. Ausban invited attendees to participate, adding, "We are super excited about this event." The upcoming symposium promises to be an inspiring and educational gathering, providing healthcare professionals and the public with the tools and knowledge to improve metabolic health and, ultimately, the quality of life for many.

Dr Lily’s Top Tips This is your body and your journeyn – no-one else can do this for you. It is your responsibility for moving forward. Everyone is a snowflake and the best evidence is your N=1 experiment. Seek out people in the scientific community, the online space and the medical profession who say “I don't know” – don't give up on people who have changed their perspective or their ideas – see it as a huge asset, a sign of humility, curiosity, growth, and compassion, not  weakness, confusion or lack of knowledge.

Doug Reynolds and Pam Devine  When Pam Devine turned 47 she was super excited that she had found something that helped her to lose the weight that she had put on since turning 40. Up until that point no matter what she did she couldn't lose it.  Pam felt she worked out more than many of the people she encountered during her workday and was getting super frustrated with her failure to keep her weight under control.   Once she and her partner Doug Reynolds found keto and changed their way of eating the weight dropped away and she found peace of mind, feeling totally satiated and more focused than she has ever been. Best yet, the ups and downs of blood sugar roller coaster have calmed and she feels like she found food freedom, lowering her growing anxiety of not knowing what to eat for health. Now with Doug, Pam hosts the Low Carb USA events that bring together medical professionals and experts in the low carb / keto / carnivore world to share their knowledge and the latest research with other health professionals and non-healthcare people. They are working towards halting the catastrophic rise in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic diseases that we’ve seen since 1977. Pam is also one of the key Founding Members and Volunteers of The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. Doug Reynolds is the Founder and CEO of LowCarbUSA® and President of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners.   LowCarbUSA (now called Symposium of Metabolic Health) provides a platform for internationally renowned scientists and medical practitioners to present the ever-increasing body of evidence on the benefits of reducing carbohydrates in the diet and adding in healthy fats. It has now evolved into one of the primary resources for the low carb community.  This includes a huge library of educational videos, a growing database of practitioners and dietitians and sports trainers who are open to the carb restriction conversation as well as a searchable database for papers and articles covering the research into the evidence supporting this lifestyle.   The SMHP is a non-profit for practitioners focused on metabolic health and they have a panel of advisors to oversee the creation and maintenance of a set of ‘Clinical Guidelines for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction’ which was first published in May, 2019.  The SMHP also defines numerous pathways for accreditation and the forums encourage open discussion which helps to establish Standard of Care around carbohydrate restriction.

If you are struggling to start or stick to it – look at food addiction and get some help. If you can tolerate them – make substitutions Doug Top Tips Be open minded and don't be dogmatic.

Vic Basmadjian is a returning guest on our show! Be sure to check out his appearance on episode 387 of Boundless Body Radio! Vic Basmadjian is an advocate of low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets after recovering his own poor health. At 55, he was obese, weighing in at almost 300 lbs., and had high blood pressure and sleep apnea. Over the past few decades, Vic had repeatedly attempted to lose weight through calorie restriction, and although he had often lost significant amounts, he had never been able to sustain the weight loss. It finally occurred to him that cutting out refined carbs- such as rice, potato, and pasta- seemed to help with his weight loss efforts. Vic used the ketogenic diet to sustainably lose one hundred pounds, while improving his health and quality of life, and he has now turned much of his attention to helping others. In other exciting news, since we last spoke in 2022, Vic has also become an accredited metabolic health practitioner through the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, and a certified health coach through Dr. Tro's Medical Weight loss & Direct Primary Care.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Christy Kesslering started out in conventional medicine as a Radiation Oncologist. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from UCLA and attended medical school at Loyola University Chicago-Stritch School of Medicine. She finished her Radiation Oncology Residency at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 2000 and has been treating patients in the Chicagoland area since that time. She realized that something was missing from conventional medicine and did additional studies to improve outcomes with cancer but also saw many other diseases improve. She has done additional studies in the fields of Functional Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and the Terrain-Theory of cancer. She is a Terrain Certified Practitioner trained by Dr. Nasha Winters and is a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. She has been actively incorporating metabolic health practices into the care of oncology patients for many years. She has been named a Top Doctor multiple times by Castle Connelly and Chicago Magazine. In this conversation, Dr. Tro, Dr. Brian, and Dr. Christy talk about how Dr. Christy got into medicine and oncology specifically, helping patients understand cancer and the steps they can take to address it, taking a metabolic approach to cancer treatment, treating prostate cancer, the usage of metformin to treat disease, the various diets that are helpful for cancer prevention and the diets that are not helpful, how to address the root cause of cancer rather than merely applying bandaids, the proliferation of carcinogenic substances in every day products, how to optimize your life to beat cancer, chemo on keto, and the failure of modern medicine to successfully and adequately address chronic diseases.

I am delighted to have my friend and colleague, Dr. Tro Kalayjian, back on the podcast today! He was with me once before for episode 54.  Dr. Tro has a background in internal and obesity medicine and is a founding member of the Society for Metabolic Health Practitioners. He managed to lose more than 150 pounds by challenging conventional medical advice.  In our discussion today, we dive into the impact of food addiction and how our current medical framework has compounded the difficulties of so many patients. We explore the limitations of the calories in calories out model and explain why the term binge eating does not adequately describe food addiction. We go into the role of macronutrients and discuss surgical interventions and medications for food addictions, highlighting the need for patient autonomy and shared decision-making. We also scrutinize the influence of institutions like the CDC, FDA, and insurance companies on how physicians and other healthcare practitioners practice medicine and help their patients manage hunger cravings, social interactions, emotions, and more.  Dr. Tro's dedication to empowering practitioners to become strong patient advocates and oppose the conventional medical paradigm shines through in this impactful and thought-provoking episode.

Ever been puzzled at the sight of a distance runner struggling with weight issues? Doug Reynolds, a former runner turned metabolic health expert, shares his personal tale of weight gain in his late 40s, and the transformative journey he embarked on as a result of a low-carb diet. His dedication to raising awareness of the benefits of a low-carb lifestyle gave birth to Low Carb USA.His goal was to let more people learn and understand low carb, so armed with his skill of conducting conferences, he put up the first Low Carb USA conference. From a crowd of 350 people, they now continue to gather thousands and provide an opportunity to learn from experts, share experiences, and become a part of an ever-growing community devoted to metabolic health. Even with a critical piece of information that could revolutionize the health of millions, challenge and resistance persist, yet they continue to push for greater recognition and understanding of metabolic health, even establishing a professional organization, the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. The message is clear - when it comes to advocating for metabolic health, it's a team effort, and every voice, every effort counts. And with the right guidance and support, the transition to a low-carb diet can be a game-changer. Get to know our guestDour Reynolds is a pioneer of the low-carb continue. As the founder of Low Carb USA, his work has helped millions of people achieve better health and well-being."Because of this resistance from the majority of practitioners, what people need is support and a place to be to feel like they're safe. And after a while, I started to become aware of the fact that it was even more important for the practitioners to have something like that. So, for the doctors and the dieticians and other people in this medical space that are trying to do this, they are in the wilderness. [...] They just find it very lonely to practice like that. So now if we find a place to bring everybody together where no one is judging them and everyone is actually totally on board with what they're trying to do with their patients that's something that they really needed." - Doug ReynoldsConnect with himLow Carb USA: http://lowcarbusa.org/Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners: http://thesmhp.org/ Chances are, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't need to change your life and get healthier.

Host Doug Reynolds welcomes Shashikant Iyengar and Anup Singh to the podcast to discuss their contributions to metabolic health in India, and the upcoming Metabolic Health India Conference slated to take place October 27-29, 2023.  Metabolic Health India will be available for live streaming across the globe.  This resource is being made available at no charge. Shashikant, who is the creator of the Metabolic Health India, was the first Metabolic Health Practitioner accredited by the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners in India. Singh is the founder and CTO of the dLife.in Indian Diabetes Community, and he is working with Iyengar on the organization of this conference. Iyengar talks about his long career in the pharmaceutical industry before devoting his primary focus to metabolic health and therapeutic carbohydrate reduction. After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2015, he went in search of alternative ways to manage the condition. That led him to low-carb, high-fat diets. With guidance from Singh, he saw his HbA1c levels drop from 7.2 to 5.2 in a month. Impressed with the results and armed with multiple certifications, he transitioned into health coaching in November 2022. Anup Singh, also a Type 2 diabetic, went a different route, adopting a 100 grams per day carb limit. Though he faced skepticism from the medical community, his HbA1c dropped to 5.0 in May 2011, underscoring the effectiveness of his approach. He emphasized that the challenges of adopting a low-carb diet in India are cultural, given the heavy reliance on carbohydrates in the traditional diet. Both guests discussed the cultural difficulties of implementing low-carb or keto diets in India. Iyengar pointed out that different Indian regions have unique dietary patterns, making it complicated to offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Anup stressed that while the western model of low-carb is difficult to implement in India, he has found success in adapting the approach to suit Indian palates. The podcast ended with a discussion of the upcoming Metabolic Health India Conference, which aims to bring more awareness and resources to the low-carb community in India. Both guests are enthusiastic about their roles in helping people navigate metabolic health challenges in India and look forward to sharing their experiences at the upcoming conference.  

Tune in for a compelling episode of the LowCarbUSA podcast featuring guest Dr. Laura Buchanan, a board-certified family medicine physician who graduated valedictorian from the University of Florida College of Medicine. Dr. Buchanan recently completed her family medicine residency at Wake Forest in 2022 and now collaborates with Dr. Tro Kalayjian at Dr. Tro's Medical Weight Loss and Direct Primary Care. Both serve on the board of directors at the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (The SMHP™). In this episode, host Doug Reynolds and Dr. Buchanan explore the intriguing intersections of longevity, metabolic health, lifestyle changes, and chronic disease management. she offers her unique perspective on lifestyle modification as a first-line standard of care, emphasizing her dual role as a physician: promoting prevention and practicing medicine. This conversation provides invaluable insights into the real-world effectiveness and scientific underpinnings of low-carbohydrate lifestyles. Dr. Buchanan shares critical insights based on her clinical and research experience, stating, "The standard dietary advice has failed us. It's time for a shift in the paradigm." She highlights the transformative outcomes she has witnessed in her patients, adding, "When people understand the 'why' behind nutritional changes, their adherence and success skyrocket." Reynolds complements this perspective by saying, "I've seen countless lives changed, including my own, by just understanding the right way to eat." Dr. Buchanan discusses the advancements and contributions of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners in the field of evidence-based medicine. She highlights the focus on type 1 diabetes in the upcoming 2024 Boca Symposium for Metabolic Health and the organization's efforts to secure ACCME accreditation, which will make it easier for other conferences to earn credits and attract more attendees. Additionally, she talks about the forthcoming Journal of Metabolic Health, aimed at expediting the dissemination of new research in the areas of ketosis and carbohydrate reduction. She mentions mentoring programs designed to guide people through the process of submitting research papers and case studies. She also reflects on her experiences and frustrations in conventional medicine settings, particularly the resistance to low-carb interventions and dietary advice. She underscores the lack of data supporting conventional beliefs that low-carb or ketogenic diets are harmful, pointing out their efficacy in treating conditions like eating disorders and metabolic diseases. Laura notes a growing interest in metabolic health within the medical community, suggesting that change is happening, albeit slowly. She is also developing a new four-week course focused on diabetes to educate the public about the disease's prevalence and dangers, viewing these educational programs as essential steps toward combating widespread issues like diabetes and insulin resistance.

Vic Basmadjian  Vic Basmadjian is an advocate of low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets after recovering his own poor health. At 55, he was obese, weighing in at almost 300 lbs., and had high blood pressure and sleep apnea.  Over the past few decades, Vic had repeatedly attempted to lose weight through calorie restriction, and although he had often lost significant amounts, he had never been able to sustain the weight loss.  It finally occurred to him that cutting out refined carbs- such as rice, potato, and pasta- seemed to help with his weight loss efforts. Soon after, his son asked Vic if he knew anything about the ketogenic diet and that led Vic to start doing his own research on the internet.  Vic used the ketogenic diet to sustainably lose one hundred pounds, while improving his health and quality of life, and he has now turned much of his attention to helping others. Vic recently spoke with The Society for Metabolic Health Practitioners about his life-changing transformation and plans to earn the Metabolic Health Practitioner accreditation!

Other perks include early releases of our episodes, extended video content, and group and one on one coaching!Vic Basmadjian is an advocate of low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets after recovering his own poor health. At 55, he was obese, weighing in at almost 300 lbs., and had high blood pressure and sleep apnea. Over the past few decades, Vic had repeatedly attempted to lose weight through calorie restriction, and although he had often lost significant amounts, he had never been able to sustain the weight loss. It finally occurred to him that cutting out refined carbs- such as rice, potato, and pasta- seemed to help with his weight loss efforts. Soon after, his son asked Vic if he knew anything about the ketogenic diet, and that led Vic to start doing his own research on the internet. Vic used the ketogenic diet to sustainably lose one hundred pounds, while improving his health and quality of life, and he has now turned much of his attention to helping others. Vic recently spoke with The Society for Metabolic Health Practitioners about his life-changing transformation and plans to earn the Metabolic Health Practitioner accreditation!

Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng wants you not to end up in the ICU.An ICU doctor and a department head at the Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Kwadwo knows metabolic disease is a massive driver of poor outcomes. Studies even established the link between poor metabolic health and COVID outcomes. But what do we do to treat that? When doctors focus primarily on sick care, they hardly ask anymore why the patient landed there in the first place.And that's what we need. We have to talk about the root cause to find the solutions.The inefficiency of the healthcare system prompted him to start his podcast "Solving Healthcare" which aims to empower healthcare workers to think out of the box.

Pam Devine  When Pam Devine turned 47 she was super excited that she had found something that helped her to lose the weight that she had put on since turning 40. Up until that point no matter what she did she couldn't lose it.  Pam felt she worked out more than many of the people she encountered during her workday and was getting super frustrated with her failure to keep her weight under control.   Once she and her partner Doug Reynolds found keto and change their way of eating the weight dropped away and she found peace of mind, feeling totally satiated and more focused than she has ever been. Best yet, the ups and downs of blood sugar roller coaster have calmed, and she feels like she found food freedom, lowering her growing anxiety of not knowing what to eat for health. Now with Doug, Pam hosts the Low Carb USA events that bring together medical professionals and experts in the low carb / keto / carnivore world to share their knowledge and the latest research with other health professionals  and non healthcare people. They are working towards halting the catastrophic rise in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic diseases that we've seen since 1977.

And I think the reason that we are failing is because we are so focused on cholesterol and we are ignoring the importance of metabolic health." "I don't say that cholesterol has no part in the process of heart disease, I just don't think it's the major part and therefore, it shouldn't be our primary focus." "Where most of the gains that we have made around heart disease have been around people smoking less, it really hasn't been around the use of cholesterol lowering medications or eating low fat diets." "What I see as a heart surgeon is that we are seeing younger and younger people, getting afflicted with heart disease."

Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction is no longer a fringe practice and is now increasingly recognized for its value in diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative disease, stroke, heart disease, dementia, and some cancers. Clinical guidelines and a standard of care about the practice will help accelerate this change.  Doug Reynolds is the Founder and CEO of LowCarbUSA® and President of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners(SMHP).  The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (SMHP) is a non-profit for practitioners focused on metabolic health and they have a panel of advisors to oversee the creation and maintenance of a set of 'Clinical Guidelines for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction'. The SMHP also helps to establish Standard of Care around carbohydrate restriction.LowCarbUSA provides a platform for scientists and medical practitioners to present the ever-increasing body of evidence on the benefits of reducing carbohydrates in the diet and adding in healthy fats.

I can’t believe we are almost half-way through the amazingness of the 12 week Reverse Your Insulin Challenge! I’m having a lot of fun showing up on YouTube, IME Community podcast and every day on TikTok doing videos and coaching on TikTok Live. If you have been participating, let me know how it’s going. You can email me at drkarlaactivistmd@imecommunity.com. Are you a teen or parent of a teen who wants to LevelUp and Join IME member Community to have access to my coaching on zoom? By the way, I’m thinking about all of you as you are headed back to school. This morning was my son’s first day of High School and also his 15th birthday. He’s so hilarious. I have three very funny kids. It’s weird to call them kids since they are 20, 17 and 15. I hope your school year gets off to a great start. I’m sending lots of positive vibes out into the world to you. Also, I’m thinking about everyone and COVID as we are in another very serious wave of the pandemic. Health systems are completely stressed, ICU’s are full across the country, and it’s very serious. I want to encourage you to get the vaccine if you are able to. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. This is so very tough. Last week was Week 5, “I Gotta Feeling” where I taught you to give yourself permission to feel your emotions instead of buffering with food. What an important skill. I love “More than a feeling” by Boston. Each week builds on the next, but you can start this week and get going on slaying your goals and learning the truth about your body’s natural weight set point. I wasn’t planning on addressing this, but there’s so much confusion, especially on TikTok, where creators are saying you are stuck at your current weight. Nope. Nope. Nope. Now, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with staying at your current weight. Let’s drown out our society’s ridiculous noise that perpetuates diet culture and isn’t healthy mentally or physically for any of us. So, if you don’t want to make changes. No problem. You get to decide. If you do want to create a healthier life, you can start wherever you want. Fueling our bodies with healthful balanced food that serves us is possible and there’s some great data about that. I recently saw an article in the NYT about a recent study out that looked at metabolism and is disrupting what we thought about metabolism as we age. So cool! There are four stages of metabolism in our lifetimes. This study is definitely disrupting the status quo thinking about metabolism. There’s only a handful of us doctors across the country and actually, globally, who are disrupting what doesn’t work. We don’t take sponsorships or ad money. There’s some amazing data. There’s so much frickin’ confusion out there, it makes me want to pull my hair out. Listen to experts, especially those of us physicians who are willing to speak out, say where healthcare has gone wrong, and are helping as many as people as possible to create a healthier path. What’s also powerful, is that there are some of us physicians who have also gone through our own weight loss journey. The importance is the focus on metabolic health and reversing insulin resistance. You can check out the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners website at smhp.org. I’m a founding member and proud of it. Our bodies are status quo homeostasis machines. Our bodies adapt to what we are fed. Sure, it’s more complex than that. Making the change to cut back on processed carbs and then being consistent over time is going to show some major improvements in your metabolic health and help you to reverse insulin resistance. Let’s get to goal slaying. So, I’m a major goal slayer. My top strength is Activator and I can grind out a goal with diligence and persistence like nobody’s business. I can also make it pretty grueling on myself. I’ve learned the tools of self compassion and I created Make it fun to get it done and learned that goal slaying can be fun and also it’s not being hard on ourselves that works. It’s self-love superpower. When you learn to be kind to yourself no matter what and have your own back, it’s so powerful. You can do anything. All of this is practice. I’ll tell you the secret to any goal I’ve slayed. The key to any goal slaying is staying with your vision. It’s an elevated approach. It’s not about the how. It’s like looking up and taking a 40,000 foot view. You are the butterfly and not the caterpillar. Expect to feel self-doubt, confusion and overwhelm, fear of failure, victim and lots of discomfort along the way. There’s nothing going wrong. Discomfort is the currency of our dreams. Let’s get going with the week! Monday Goal Slaying Motivation: Choose the goal that commands your attention! What’s your biggest pain point? What’s the biggest obstacle in your way? What’s the trade off? Experience temporary discomfort now while achieving your goals and dreams or the long-term discomfort of not achieving your dream? Choose Your Goal Tuesday : Pick a 30-day goal. Choose one goal at a time. I’m sure you’re really excited, but choosing one goal at a time is very important. Otherwise, you will most likely indulge in overwhelm and that will keep you from taking action on any of your goals. Choose a goal that motivates you, so how important is achieving this goal and is there value in achieving this goal? How does this goal fit into the bigger picture of my life? Am I interested in the outcome? Drink more water? Cut back on processed carbs? Crush your sugar cravings? Work on self-trust eating? Get more organized? Increase your fitness? Get better sleep? What’s your goal and why do you want to achieve it? Why will I do it no matter what and who has your back as you are reaching your goal? SMART Goals Wednesday: What’s a measurable goal? You get to decide how you measure your success. What’s SMART stand for when it comes to setting goals? SMART is an acronym used for any type of goal setting. SMART goals help set you up for major goal slaying success! SMART stands for Specific (make your goal clear and figure out exactly where you will end up when you have achieved your goal) /Measurable (It’s important to figure out how you will measure your success so that you know when and can celebrate when you’ve achieved your goal. By this time, I will have completed and created (insert goal). I will know I’m done because of _______ You can also create your own measures of success. Did I show up as my authentic self? Did I coach with compassion? Did I learn something new? Did I hold space? Did I have fun? How? . /Attainable (make sure your goal is possible, If you set a goal that is outside of your realm of possibility, your brain will use that as evidence to criticize and that will cut down on your confidence. /Relevant means that the goal matters in the bigger picture of your life /Time Bound Take Massive Action Thursday: Now that you have your goal and your SMART goals, it’s time to get going. Self-trust is created by taking action. You are learning to show up for a goal you set for yourself. That’s super powerful. Write down everything you need to do to in the next 30 days to get to your goal. Break it down into steps. Make it Fun to Get it Done Friday: Since this is IME Community, I’m going to teach you my entire philosophy which is to Make it Fun to Get it Done. Start by owning your goal, then get yourself all amped up to take action like Dwight from The Office before a sales call when he was jamming out on air guitar in the backseat while Jim waited patiently outside the car for Dwight to do his thing. Superhero Saturday: Self-love is your superpower to achieve your goals and dreams. Some of you may not have even heard of Superman. You should watch the movie, “Superman” with Christopher Reeves, best Superman ever. Some of the special effects in that movie are hilarious. Clark Kent was Superman’s version of a nerdy base level human. When the world needed saving Clark Kent would go into a phone booth and come out as hottie Superman. Well, you are your own superhero. You are able to go into a phone booth and put on your self-love superpower cape and go save the world. No pressure! Sunday Strategizing: What are the obstacles in your way? What’s in between you and your goal? What’s hard about your goal? What do you need help with? Now, turn your list of obstacles into strategies. You can turn your obstacles into strategies which clears your path to achieve your goals. A strategy could be a skill you need to develop. Here’s an example: If your goal is to eat sugar in moderation, one obstacle may be “I have lots of urges and cravings to eat sugar.” Strategy examples are: “Even though my sugar cravings are conditioned, my brain can be conditioned to create a healthier pathway.” “ I will create a pause when I have an urge or craving to eat sugar.” “ I will keep an urge jar and only count my wins.” Now, get it all on the calendar and mark off your wins! You’ve got this! Self-love s;uperpower, Dr. Karla, ActivistMD See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Doug Reynolds Doug Reynolds is the Founder and CEO of LowCarbUSA® and President of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. LowCarbUSA provides a platform for internationally renowned scientists and medical practitioners to present the ever-increasing body of evidence on the benefits of reducing carbohydrates in the diet and adding in healthy fats. It has now evolved into one of the primary resources for the low carb community.  This includes a huge library of educational videos, a growing database of practitioners and dietitians and sports trainers who are open to the carb restriction conversation as well as a searchable database for papers and articles covering the research into the evidence supporting this lifestyle. The SMHP is a non-profit for practitioners focused on metabolic health and they have a panel of advisors to oversee the creation and maintenance of a set of 'Clinical Guidelines for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction' which was first published in May, 2019.  The SMHP also defines numerous pathways for accreditation and the forums encourage open discussion which helps to establish Standard of Care around carbohydrate restriction. Doug Reynolds is the Founder and CEO of LowCarbUSA® and President of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners.  He was an endurance athlete and used to carb load for his races following the advice of Prof Tim Noakes and the standard advice. He was running 50 miles / 80Km a week and his weight was still increasing, then he found out about ketosis. Not only did the ketogenic diet transform his weight and health it also transformed the trajectory of his work. Doug's Top Tips Don't be afraid to try it. Community - find your tribe. Don't ever let peer pressure talk you out of it. Resources Mentioned Lore of Running - Tim Noakes MD https://amzn.to/3BtjDYm Please note: Dr Tim Noakes is re-writing this book and he no longer subscribes to carb loading. Quotes by Doug Reynolds “I used to feel like I was exquisitely fit.” “...that was Tim Noakes fault.  As you know, Tim talked about how important carbohydrates were and this whole concept of carb loading before the race.” “I was literally poisoning myself with excessive carbohydrates.” “I remember we moved to a new place and I looked in the mirror and I thought ‘this mirror is bent because I don't look like that'. You know, I was in denial, I literally couldn't believe that I had actually started to fill out and become like a barrel almost.“ “I still remember the very first meal I ever cooked a couple of ribeye steaks. I went outside and cooked it on the fire and came back in and not only was there all this fat among the meat, which was absolutely unknown for me, but all this fat sloshing around on the bottom of the plate.  I started giggling and was like ‘am I going to seriously eat this thing?” “I got like three quarters of the way through it. And I was like, wow, this actually tastes really good. Because now the minute the fats back in, you know, in the equation, suddenly everything tastes so much better. ” “How is it possible? I was 52 years old. And I didn't even know what a ketone was like six months ago. It's it's

Dr Nick Norwitz Dr. Nicholas Norwitz is an atypical guest. He's only 25-years old but already holds a PhD from Oxford University in ketogenics and brain metabolism, works as keto coach and a metabolic health practitioner, conducts clinical research, writes papers, and lectures on the international stage, and is now pursuing his MD at Harvard Medical School. But Nick's academic credentials are only a small part of what makes him interesting. He has his own incredible story of struggling with metabolic diseases.

Because as anybody with an inflammatory bowel disease knows, it makes food and social life a real struggle, if not a terror.” “I came to the point where I ate to fuel my body, but it wa

Doug Reynolds is the Co-Founder and CEO of LowCarbUSA®.  The original organization was founded in the beginning of 2016 with the initial intention of providing a platform, through an annual conference, for internationally renowned scientists and medical practitioners to present the ever-increasing body of evidence on the benefits of reducing carbohydrates in the diet (and adding in healthy fats).  He felt that education about the power of the low carb/ketogenic diet for the individual who may not get the information from their medical team or from mainstream nutrition advice, and for practitioners who may then be able to prescribe it in their practice was critical.However, his mission quickly evolved when he realized how important this was to the medical professional community.  Valuable tools are needed, not only to provide hope to their patients to reverse and prevent disease but restore hope to that very practitioner. This is why they went to medical school and got professional training, to help people heal and not just put Band-Aids on and never address the root cause of the problem.  Too many practitioners are being taught that the many chronic diseases our communities are facing are just chronic and processive.  With effective tools and supportive information, complications can be stopped in their tracks and further complications reduced and the disease process may even be reversed.The tools and resources LowCarbUSA® has been providing,  not only includes the live conferences, but also a huge library of educational videos, a growing database of practitioners, and nutritionists and sports trainers who are open to the carb restriction conversation as well as a searchable database for papers and articles covering the research into the evidence supporting this lifestyle.Most importantly, though, he has coordinated the establishment of a panel of advisors to oversee the creation and maintenance of a set of 'Clinical Guidelines for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction' which was first published in May 2019.He has worked tirelessly over this period during the COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown to now establish this nonprofit, the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, and this organization will now house most of the above body of work as education and training of Metabolic Health Practitioners and the entire community interested in making a difference in worldwide metabolic health.  The aim is to stall and reverse the increasing prevalence of non-communicable, lifestyle-related diseases, influenced by metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance.  Accreditation pathways have even been established for practitioners within this society to introduce credibility to the practice of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction and to help establish alternative Standard of Care for those whose metabolisms are different because they don't eat excessive carbohydrates.https://www.lowcarbusa.org/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/labanditchburn?fan_landing=true)
