We're back today with another episode of The Nutritional Pearls Podcast focussing this week on the topic of taking control of your healthcare and becoming an empowered patient. One of the most frustrating things for a lot of people is going to the doctor and feeling like you have no say in your healthcare. Some of this comes from the culture of medicine that treats the patient as a consumer of curative medicine instead of treating the patient with preventative care. So how can you empower yourself to take control of the situation and get off the doctor visit merry go round? Find out today as Christine and Jimmy delve into the topic of becoming an empowered patient.   BECOME A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER Sign up for the 9-month program NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship COUPON CODE JIMMY FOR $50 OFF   LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 21 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Become A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Track your sleep at BioHackingRing.com (COUPON CODE JIMMY FOR $50 OFF) – Real Food Keto  – RebootingYourNutrition.com

Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about the endocrine system in Episode 15. Here's what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 15: 1. What is the Endocrine System? The collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things. 2. Definition of hormones: Regulatory substances produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action. 3. Glands of the endocrine system and the minerals they depend on: A. Hypothalamus: Located in the brain, this is the part of the brain that controls the endocrine system. Think of it as a control center. It links the nervous system to the endocrine system through the Pituitary Gland. It releases at least 7 to 8 hormones that control the Pituitary Gland. The hypothalamus needs chromium for good health. 1. Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone (TRH)-a releasing hormone produced by the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone or TSH) and prolactin from the pituitary gland. 2. Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone (GnRH)-signals the pituitary gland to create two hormones called leutenizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) 3. Growth Hormone-releasing Hormone (GHRH)-stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone into the bloodstream. Once growth hormone is releases into the blood, it has an affect on just about every tissue of the body to control metabolism and growth. 4. Corticotropin-releasing Hormone (CRH)-Its main function is to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) 5. Somatostatin - it regulates the secretion of hormones coming from the pituitary gland, including growth hormone and thyroid stimulating hormone. It also inhibits the secretion of pancreatic hormones which include Glucagon and Insulin 6. Dopamine - this functions as a neurotransmitter which is a chemical released by neurons or nerve cells to send signals to other nerve cells. The brain has many distinct dopamine pathways and one of these pathways plays a big role in reward-motivated behavior. B. The Pituitary Gland: Located in the brain, it has also been described as the “master gland” because it secretes hormones that control other endocrine glands. It needs manganese for good health 1. Oxytocin-controls key aspects of the reproductive system and some aspects of human behavior 2. Prolactin-hormone that helps women produce milk after childbirth and it's important to both male and female reproductive health 3. Leutenizing Hormone-triggers ovulation and stimulates the production of testosterone 4. Anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH)-tells your kidneys how much water to conserve; it also constantly regulates and balances the amount of water in your blood 5. Human Growth Hormone (HGH)-encourages growth in children and adolescents, helps to regulate body composition as well as bodily fluids and muscle and bone growth, helps regulate sugar and fat metabolism, and it possibly helps with heart function C. The Pineal Gland also known as the Third Eye: This gland is also in the brain and it produces melatonin which helps with circadian rhythm. It is also known as the Third Eye because the Third Eye chakra in the Hindu system is located in the center of the forehead which is near the pineal gland. It depends on iodine and boron for good health. D. The Thyroid Gland: It depends on iodine and tyrosine. It is located in the front of the neck just below the Adams apple and is considered to be one of the major glands in the regulation of metabolism. It produces: 1. thyroxine (T4) which gets converted to its active form, triiodothyronine (T3) with the help of selenium. T3 controls basil metabolic rate 2. Calcitonin-responsible for the uptake of calcium to the bone E. The Parathyroid Gland: It's located in the neck behind the thyroid and produces parathormone or PTH which is associated with the growth of muscle and bone and distribution of calcium and phosphate in the body. It depends on calcium for good health. F. The thymus: The thymus lays across the trachea and bronchi in the upper thorax. It produces thymosin which triggers the immune system by activating the T-Cells and T-Lymphocytes which are white blood cells associated with antibody production. The thymus needs zinc for good health. G. The pancreas: It lies behind the stomach and needs chromium for good health. The pancreas produces: 1. Insulin by the Beta Cells which is responsible for the conversion of glucose to glycogen, shuttling glucose into the cells, and the conversion of excess glucose to fat 2. Glucagon by the Alpha Cells which is responsible for the conversion of glycogen to glucose H. The adrenal glands: They are on top of the kidneys and they rely on copper for good health. They produce: 1. Adrenalin which prepares the body for fight or flight 2. noradrenalin-which has similar effects to adrenalin 3. corticosteroids that include cortisol, cortisone, and corticosterone I. The ovaries: They are located in the lower abdomen and they rely on selenium for good health. They produce: 1. Estrogen which is responsible for the break-down of the uterus wall 2. progesterone which builds up and maintains the uterus wall for embedding of fertilized egg and is also associated with body hair, breast enlargement, and physical changes in the body J. The testes: They're located outside the pelvic cavity and produce testosterone which is responsible for the development and function of male sex organs and is associated with body hair, muscle development, and voice change. They rely heavily on selenium for good health. K. The prostate: It's about the size of a walnut located between the bladder and the penis. It produces prostate-specific antigen (PSA) which help keep the sperm in liquid form. The prostate relies on zinc for good health. 4. People with different endocrine issues carry weight on specific parts of the body A. If someone has adrenal gland problems through prolonged stress, cortisol is released and stores fat around the most vital organs which are in your midsection. Thus, a person with adrenal issues will carry more weight around their midsection. B. People with thyroid issues tend to carry weight all over since the thyroid controls the metabolism in all of your cells. C. For people with problems with their ovaries, they will tend to carry extra weight around their hips and lower stomach area. D. If a person has liver problems, they will tend to carry extra weight around their body but have thin legs 5. Blood sugar imbalances mess up the entire endocrine system because not only are the pancreas, liver, and adrenal glands all necessary for blood sugar regulation but they are also heavily involved in the endocrine system. Nutritional Pearl for Episode 15: It is very important to make sure blood sugar levels are normalized and under control before addressing any endocrine problem you have because blood sugar imbalances disrupt the entire endocrine system.

Welcome to The Nutritional Pearls Podcast! Focusing on topics that include digestion, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, supplementation, electrolytes, stomach acid, and so much more, “The Nutritional Pearls Podcast” features Christine Moore, NTP and is hosted by Jimmy Moore, host of the longest running nutritional podcast on the Internet.  Sharing nuggets of wisdom from Christine's training as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Jimmy's years of podcasting and authoring international bestselling health and nutrition books, they will feature a new topic of interest and fascination in the world of nutritional health each Monday. Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about the importance of sleep in Episode 14. Here's what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 14: 1. Definition of sleep: a condition of body and mind such as that which typically recurs for several hours every night, in which the nervous system is relatively inactive, the eyes closed, the postural muscles relaxed, and consciousness practically suspended. 2. Stages of sleep A. Awake-resting with eyes closed B. Stage 1: transitional sleep, 1. Dreamless sleep 2. Light sleep 3. This stage is often what happens when someone takes a power nap. You can be easily awoken. C. Stage 2: Typical Sleep 1. This is also light sleep. 2. If taking a power nap, this is the stage you want to wake up from. D. Stage 3: beginning of deep sleep 1. This is where physical repair happens and the brain filters data from the day. 2. It's harder to be awoken from this stage. 3. This is when the body repairs muscles and tissues, stimulates growth and development, boosts immune function, and builds up energy for the next day. E. Stage 4: R.E.M. or Rapid Eye Movement 1. This is where you dream. 2. Mental and emotional clearing happen during this stage 3. Your brain makes connections emotionally and consolidates information to be stored in your long term memory. 4. You usually enter REM sleep after you've been asleep for 90 minutes. 5. It's harder to be awoken from this stage. 6. Each REM stage can last up to one hour. 7. An average adult has 5 to 6 R.E.M. cycles a night. 8. The length of R.E.M. cycles increases as the night progresses. This is why there's a good chance you'll awaken from dreaming in the morning. 3. Facts about stages of sleep A. These different stages last different amounts of time depending on age. B. Sleep happens cyclically starting with stage 1 going through stage 4 (REM) and back to 1. C. A complete sleep cycle can take 90 to 110 minutes with each stage lasting from 5-15 minutes (with the exception of R.E.M). D. We need 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Some people on a ketogenic lifestyle have reported needed less sleep. 4. Benefits of sleeping A. Improves memory-strengthens memories and you can practice skills learned while awake (this is called consolidation) B. Helps reduce inflammation-people who get more sleep have less inflammatory proteins (C-Reactive proteins) floating in their blood than those who get less sleep. These inflammatory proteins lead to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions C. Helps weight maintenance or weight loss (helps prevent cravings) 1. Blood sugars tend to be higher if you get less sleep. 2. Cortisol is also higher in those who get less sleep. 3. Insulin, a fat storing hormone, tends to be higher in those who get less sleep. D. Helps prevent depression 1. Our ability to regulate emotions decreases after a poor night's sleep. 2. We are in need of social interactions so if you get a poor night's sleep, you are more likely to cancel social events because of being tired. 3. The Amygdala, an almond shaped area of the brain, plays an important role in our emotions and anxiety levels. People with less sleep showed a higher amygdala response, leading to less control over emotions and greater anxiety levels. E. Helps with the detoxification process. We are in a parasympathetic state when sleeping and detoxification is a parasympathetic process. Our bodies detoxify when we sleep. 5. Things we can do to get more sleep A. Limit exposure to “blue light” at night. Use blue blocker glasses and/or use the “Night Shift” on devices. You can also get orange or red bulbs to put in your lamps at night. B. Expose your eyes to sunlight early in the day and turn down house lighting at night. This helps to establish your circadian rhythm by producing the proper hormones at the right time (melatonin for sleep, and cortisol for waking up) C. Don't eat to soon before going to bed. Eating too close to bedtime can keep you awake at night. The body has to spend it's energy on digesting the food you ate rather than detoxifying so your body doesn't heal properly. The digestion of food can keep you from getting to sleep. D. Don't exercise too soon before going to bed. Exercise increases stress in the body (raises cortisol) and the elevation of cortisol can keep you from getting to sleep in a timely manner. E. Take a warm shower or bath using lavender. I have found that taking a warm shower helps me relax. We all are different, though. F. Take melatonin or magnesium. 1. If using melatonin, only take it 2 to 3 times a week. If you take it too much, your body can “forget” how to make it's own. The liquid form of melatonin is best. When I take it, I usually take 10mg with the dropper. Everybody's needs are different. You may find you don't need that much. 2. If taking magnesium, take Magnesium Glycinate. Magnesium Citrate can cause diarrhea G. Limit the amount of scary or action filled tv right before going to bed. This can raise cortisol which will make it harder for you to get to sleep. Nutritional Pearl for Episode 14: Sleep affects so many aspects of how our body functions. It's important to make sure we are doing all we can to get adequate sleep.   BECOME A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER Sign up for the 9-month program NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship YOUR NEW KETO DIET ALLY NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 14 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Complete nutriton for nutritional ketosis (COUPON CODE LLVLC FOR 10% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Become A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner – NutritionalTherapy.com

Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about vitamins in Episode 12. Here's what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 13: 1. Microbial cells outnumber our human cells 10 to 1. 2. We have 2 to 4 pounds of microbes living in us 3. Microbiota refers to everything that lives in the gut tube. These can be beneficial or harmful A. Beneficial microbes-most fall within these two categories: 1. Lactobacillus 2. Bifidobacterium B. Harmful microbes 1. Parasites 2. Yeast 3. Fungus 4. Viruses 4. Everyone has a different composition of gut bugs-these compositions in each person can change due to age, diet, or geography. There are 2 different kinds of microbes: Transient and Native A. Transient Microbes-Most common strains are from lacto and bifido species-these are the main ones used to create probiotic supplements and cultured foods. Lactobaccilus Acidophilus is the most common and versatile probiotics. 1. They come into the body to do their work then leave through the stool-very transient. 2. They work with other microbes that are native in nature. 3. We acquire these transient microbes from dietary sources B. Native microbes-bactoroids, bacillus, Streptomyces 1. Enter our bodies through the air, soil and water supply (environmental sources) 2. These buggers are more resistant to stomach pH and more resilient to antibiotics 3. These native microbes have anti-fungi, anti-parasitic, and anti-viral properties 5. Things that can go wrong when we don't have a population of good gut microbes A. Excess bloating B. Chronic ear infection C. Yeast infections D. Diarrhea E. Constipation F. Flatulence G. Nail fungus H. Hormonal imbalances I. Eczema J. Acne 6. We need good gut microbes to: 1. Help protect the intestinal wall 2. Produce vitamin K2, and three B vitamins, B1 or Thiamine, B2 or Riboflavin, and B12 or cobalamin 3. Absorb nutrients 4. Help digest foods 5. Balance intestinal pH 6. Fight harmful microbes 7. Help improve bowel transit time 8. Have good mental health-90% of the body's serotonin is produced in the intestines 7. There are many things that can permanently affect the composition of our microbiome: A. Stress B. Diet high in sugar and refined carbs C. Contraceptives D. Vaccinations E. Overuse of antibiotics or other prescription drugs 8. Food sources of probiotics A. kombucha (fermented tea) B. Kefir (fermented milk) C. Sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) D. Pickles (fermented cucumbers) E. Kimchi (Korean dish using fermented vegetables, spices and seasonings) F. Full fat raw dairy, especially goat's and sheep's milk like milk, cheese and yogurt G. If you want to do a plant-based ketogenic diet: 1. Tempeh (fermented soybeans) 2. Miso (fermented soybean, barley, or brown rice with koji which is a fungus) 3. Natto (Japanese dish with fermented soybeans) Nutritional Pearl for Episode 13: We need to make sure our gut health stays as healthy as possible so we can have good digestive function, a healthy immune system, and good mental health.

Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about vitamins in Episode 12. Here's what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 12: 1. Facts about vitamins A. In 1905, an English scientist named William Fletcher was the first to make the connection between lack of vitamins in food and sickness. He was researching the causes of the disease, Beriberi. Beriberi is a B1 (Thiamine) deficient related disease that causes impairment of the nerves and heart. Symptoms include loss of appetite, digestive irregularities, and numbness and weakness in the limbs and extremities. In 1906, Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, an English Biochemist, made the discovery that certain “food factors” were important to health. The concept of vitamins (vital amines), was formulated in 1912 by Casimir Funk, a Polish biochemist. The “e” was dropped several years later when it was discovered that vitamins were not nitrogen-containing amines. Casimir Funk discovered B1 in 1912 and together, Funk and Hopkins came up with the hypothesis of deficiency disease that says a lack of vitamins can make you sick. https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-the-vitamins-4072556 B. Compose less than 1% of our body C. Most vitamins cannot be manufactured by the body so we have to get them from external sources D. The vitamins the body can make are D and K 1. D is manufactured in the skin when the skin is exposed to sunlight high in the sky. 2. K, specifically K2, is manufactured by the good gut bacteria in our gut, but it is only a small fraction of what we need for the body to perform its functions so supplementing is important. E. Vitamins function best when they have the cofactors with them like trace minerals, enzymes and other vitamins. 2. Classifications of vitamins A. Fat soluble 1. Vitamin A 2. Vitamin D 3. Vitamin E 4. Vitamin K B. Water soluble 1. The B vitamins 2. Vitamin C 3. Inositol 4. Choline 3. Roles of Vitamins in the body A. They act as helpers in metabolic processes 1. The metabolism of carbohydrate, protein, and fat 2. The production of stomach acid (B6) 3. The detoxification process, specifically Phase 1 (B2) B. Support tissue growth C. They support digestion, elimination, and immune function. D. They help prevent deficient related disorders and health problems from happening 4. Signs of vitamin deficiency A. Folate/folic acid (B9)-Mouth sores and pale skin B. Inositol-Poor brain function, hair loss, high LDL, and eczema C. Vitamin A-Dry eyes, dry skin, bright lights at night bothersome, trouble distinguishing between blues and purples D. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)-Loss of appetite, pain in limbs swollen feet or legs E. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)-Anemia, nerve damage, sluggish metabolism, sore throat F. Vitamin C-Bruising, bleeding gums, fatigue, loss of appetite G. Vitamin D-Thin or brittle bones, joint pain, fatigue, depression, getting sick often, impaired wound healing H. Vitamin E-Muscle weakness, Abnormal eye movements, vision problems I. Vitamin K2-Easy bruising, excessive bleeding from wounds, blood in urine or stool 5. B And G Complexes A. B complexes 1. Alcohol soluble 2. Heat stable 3. Stimulating 4. Helps carbohydrate metabolism B-Person Needs B1 (Thiamine), B4, B6, And B12-These people are often hypotensive (low blood pressure), craves sugar, feels bad or run down, gets sick often, and tends toward Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) B. G complexes 1. Alcohol insoluble 2. Unstable with heat 3. Relaxing 4. Helps metabolize fats G-Person Needs B2 And Associated B Vitamins like B3, PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid, folic acid, the lipotropic factors, choline, inositol, and betaine-These people are often hypertensive (high blood pressure), crave alcohol, feels good or pumped up, does not get sick often, and tends toward Myocardial Infarction. 6. Food sources of vitamins A. Folic Acid/Folate (B9)- Beets, strawberries, broccoli, spinach, avocados, collard greens, turnip greens, okra, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, egg yolks, and liver B. Inositol-Nuts, seeds, beef, liver, and green leafy vegetables C.

Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about carbohydrates in Episode 9.   Here's what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 10: – 1. Review of Digestion –– A. Digestion happens north to south –– B. Proper stomach pH is supposed to be between 1.5 and 3 –– C. Zinc and B6 are needed to produce stomach acid – 2. Dysfunction in digestive process –– A. Dysfunction in the brain: Sympathetic State—doing other activities or being stressed while eating –– B. Dysfunction in the mouth: Not chewing food thoroughly (for about 30 seconds); signal not received from the brain to have the mouth release salivary amylase. –– C. Dysfunction in the stomach: Not having enough stomach acid. 90% of Americans don't produce enough stomach acid (Jonathon Wright, MD came up with this using the Heidelberg Gastrotelemetry equipment to check the stomach pH on thousands of patients AND Dr. George Goodhart, a chiropractor, came to the same conclusion using kinesiological and functional assessment). ––– 1. Food, especially protein doesn't get broken down ––– 2. Allows foreign invaders to pass through to the rest of the digesting system. Helicobacter (H) Pylori (stomach ulcers caused by bacteria) happens because of inadequate stomach acid ––– 3. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) actually happens because of too little stomach acid. Poorly digested foods cause a back-up in the esophagus oftentimes because the cardiac sphincter is weak. Since the acid content is higher in the stomach, the back flow burns the esophagus. ––– 4. If stomach pH is not right, the pyloric sphincter won't release the stomach contents into the duodenum Remember: Carbs ferment, proteins putrefy and fats rancidify –– D. Dysfunction in the Pancreas: If pH of chime (digested food) is not correct, Secretin won't be released to trigger the pancreatic juices needed to further break down food. –– E. Dysfunction in the Gallbladder: If pH of chime is not correct, then CCK won't be released to trigger bile to digest the fats we eat. –– F. Dysfunction in the small intestine: Undigested foods will cause gut flora to become imbalanced and it will also cause irritation to the intestinal lining causing increased permeability leading to Leaky Gut and therefore, autoimmune conditions. –– G.

Welcome to The Nutritional Pearls Podcast! Focusing on topics that include digestion, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, supplementation, electrolytes, stomach acid, and so much more, “The Nutritional Pearls Podcast” features Christine Moore, NTP and is hosted by Jimmy Moore, host of the longest running nutritional podcast on the Internet.  Sharing nuggets of wisdom from Christine's training as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Jimmy's years of podcasting and authoring international bestselling health and nutrition books, they will feature a new topic of interest and fascination in the world of nutritional health each Monday. Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about carbohydrates in Episode 9.   Here's what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 9: 1. Review of Nutrient Classes: A. Water B. Macronutrients 1. Proteins=18% of the body 2. Fats=15% of the body 3. Carbohydrates=2% of the body C. Micronutrients 1. Minerals=4% of the body 2. Vitamins=1% of the body 2. Facts about carbohydrates A. All green plants produce carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are starch and sugar. Carbohydrates are made of three elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. B. There are 2 classifications of carbohydrates: complex (starches) and simple (sugars) C. The sugars that make up carbohydrates come in many different forms: 1. Monosaccharides: most basic form of sugar; They cannot be broken down into more simple parts; They are soluble in water. 2. Disaccharides: sugars that contain 2 monosaccharide residues. It is also called a double sugar. These are also soluble in water. 3. Oligosaccharides: contain 2 to 6, rarely 10 monosaccharides. They can have many functions like cell recognition and cell binding. They can play an important role in the immune response. These are soluble in water and they are sweet to the taste. 4. Polysaccharides: like starch are composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages. These are complex carbohydrate that get broken down in the mouth and the small intestine into simple sugars. The solubility of these varies. Some are not soluble in water. (cellulose). Some are only soluble in hot water (starch). Some are readily soluble in cold water (pullulan). Some can be sweet to the taste like sweet potatoes, but a lot them are not sweet to the taste like regular potatoes, rice, legumes, and lentils. How Carbohydrates Are Broken Down Sugars Larger Carbohydrates Monosaccharides Disaccharides Oligosaccharides Polysaccharides Fructose (fruit sugar) Sucrose Inulin Starch Glucose Lactose Dextrin Galactose Maltose Cellulose Pectin Glycogen D. You do not need to consume sugars in order to make them. Gluconeogeneisis. E. When carbohydrates go through the refining process, they are stripped of their nutrients. F. Eating excess refined carbohydrates and sugar can lead to nutrient deficiencies because excess consumption of these can pull nutrients out of the bones and the rest of the body. G. Carbohydrates, in the right forms like berries (in small amount with some type of fat added to it), leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables (those we eat on a ketogenic diet), do have beneficial uses in the body. 1. Carbohydrates provide a quick fuel source for the brain and proved a quick energy source for muscles. 2. Carbohydrates help regulate the fat and protein you eat. 3. A lot of carbohydrates, especially leafy greens, provide a source of fiber which helps keep our bowels moving regularly. 4. Carbohydrates help by lubricating joints. 3. Sources of Carbohydrates A. The first kind of carbohydrate you should be eating is from leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables. Try to eat as many colors as possible and in season. Our bodies weren't made to have every vegetable or fruit all year round. Try to incorporate raw vegetables. B. Next, eat whole fruits. Don't do fruit juices as they are higher in sugar and you lose the fiber from the fruit when you just drink the juice. Stick to the low sugar fruits like berries and eat them in season. C. On a ketogenic diet, you can have squash, but make sure it's the less starchy ones like zucchini and yellow squash. You can even have spaghetti squash, but maybe not as often. Butternut squash and acorn squash tend to be a little higher in starch. For those who are not eating a ketogenic diet, you can add sweet potatoes in on occasion as well as yams, plantains, parsnips, pumpkin, and others. Nutritional Pearl for Episode 9: Carbohydrates have many beneficial functions in the body but we do not necessarily need to eat them because our bodies can make them from protein.

Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about protein in Episode 8. Here's what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 8: 1. Review of Nutrient Classes: A. Water B. Macronutrients 1. Proteins=18% of the body 2. Fats=15% of the body 3. Carbohydrates=2% of the body C. Micronutrients 1. Minerals=4% of the body 2. Vitamins=1% of the body 2. Facts about proteins A. They make up about 18% of the body B. They are the building blocks of our body C. The human body uses about 50,000 different proteins to form 4 different things: 1. Nerves 2. Muscles 3. Organs 4. Flesh D. Some proteins have specialized functions like 1. Enzymes which help with all biochemical processes 2. Some proteins are antibodies. Antibodies help to fight infection and destroy foreign invaders that get into the body. E. Proteins are essential for normal growth. F. The help form hormones which help with regulation of metabolism and plays a role in just about every important function of the body. G. Some are hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains red bloods cells which help deliver oxygen throughout the body. H. Proteins are needed for the blood to clot. I. Proteins even help control the pH of the tissues and blood J. Animal proteins are our only source of COMPLETE proteins. Proteins from animals contain all of the essential amino acids needed PLUS many that are nonessential, meaning the body can make those. Vegetables only contain incomplete proteins, meaning they do not have all the essential proteins our bodies need. The 2 best sources of vegetable proteins are legumes and cereal grains, neither of which we consume on a ketogenic diet. K. Proteins cannot be properly utilized without sources of animal fat. This is why you see protein AND fat in eggs, milk, fish, and meats. L. Our ancestors ate mostly meat (nose to tail) and SUPPLEMENTED their diets with vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. 1. Our best source of zinc is from animal products 2. Usable vitamin B12 only occurs in animal products M. A high protein, low fat diet can cause problems 1. Causes too rapid of growth 2. Causes depletion of vitamin A and vitamin D and some minerals, too. N. Red meat contains cysteine which is essential for a healthy immune system. O. The sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine is also needed for making glutathione, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent cell damage. P. Those 50,000 proteins combine to make 22 different amino acids and the amino acids are broken down into 4 different classes of amino acids 1. 10 Essential-the body can't make these so we have to get them from outside sources. 2. 10 Nonessential-the body can make these. 3. 7 Conditional-the body can usually make these under normal circumstances, but a sickness or stress might cause the body to not be able to make them. 4. 2 Nonstandard-these are not found in the human body but in a gutless marine worm List of Amino Acids 1. Essential Amino Acids 2. Nonessential Amino Acids 3. Other Amino Acids A. Isoleucine A. Alanine A. Carnitine B. Leucine B. Asparagine B. Citrulline C. Lysine C. Aspartic Acid C. Gamma-aminobutyric acid D. Methionine D. Cysteine D. Glutathione E. Phenylalanine E. Glutamine E. Ornithine F. Threonine F. Glutamic Acid F. Taurine G. Tryptophan G. Glycine G. Cystine H. Valine H. Proline I. Histidine I. Serine J. Arginine J. Tyrosine-thyroid function Q. Roles of amino acids 1. Forming proteins 2. Helping with neurotransmitter production 3. Muscle production 4. Hormone production 5. RNA and DNA regulation. 3. Sources Of Protein 1. Fish and seafood that is wild caught. These should be mainly smaller fish to help prevent exposure to heavy metals 2. Beef, lamb, buffalo, elk, goat, and more that is organic and 100% grass fed and grass finished 3. Poultry like chicken, turkey, and duck that is also organic and 100% pasture raised, and eggs 4. Dairy products from animals that are 100% pasture raised and organic. These include full fat cheeses, full fat cottage cheese, full fat raw milk and cream, full fat yogurt and full fat, grass fed butter. 5. Nuts and seeds like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts, pili nuts, and pistachio nuts that have been soaked and sprouted Note: These Amino Acids are not used as building blocks within the body but are still important. 4. Nonstandard Amino Acids (Not found in the human body) A. Selenocysteine-discovered in 1986 B. Pyrrolysine-discovered in 2002 (found in a gutless marine worm) Nutritional Pearl for Episode 8: Protein is essential in the right kind and the proper amounts.

Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy welcome special guest Carole St. Laurent, NTP, a “real food” nutritionist. Carole uses local, properly prepared and nutrient dense foods to restore balance and support wellness, with bio-individual strategies aimed for success. Listen in as they talk all about minerals in Episode 7. Here's what Christine, Jimmy, and Carole talked about in Episode 7: Minerals 1. Roles of minerals A. Maintains proper pH balance in the body B. helps transport nutrients across cell membranes C. Maintains proper nerve conduction D. Helps contract and relax muscles E. regulates tissue growth 2. Breakdown of Macro and Micro Minerals A. Macro Minerals-magnesium, Phosphorus, Calcium, Potassium, chlorine, sodium, and sulfur B. Microminerals-Iron, zinc, copper, chromium, selenium, iodine, boron, manganese, molybdenum, lithium (used to treat bipolar disorder), rubidium (required in smaller amounts in the body) 3. Uses/benefits of minerals A. Electrolytes 1. Salt, for most people is not an issue so don't be afraid of salt. It takes 7.5 grams of salt to raise a normal systolic blood pressure reading 5 or 6 points (140 is considered high). Salt is not good or bad. It's whether it's out of balance with potassium. (New York Times Article and JAMA study (11/23/11 by Gina Kolata “Urinary Sodium and Potassium Excretion and Risk of Cardiovascular Events” B. Calcium-Bone remodeling 1. Cofactors needed for calcium a. Systemic pH: normal blood pH should be between 7.35 and 7.45 1. When blood pH rises or becomes more alkaline, calcium is deposited into the bone. 2. When blood pH falls or becomes more acidic, calcium is deposited into the blood. b. Hydration-electrolytes and water c. Hormones-parathyroid in particular d. Other Minerals (Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Manganese, Boron, Copper, and Zinc e. Vitamins (A, D, E, K)-D needed with the Parathyroid to increase levels of calcium in the blood f. Essential Fatty Acids)-necessary to transport calcium across the cell membrane g. Digestion (proper stomach pH (Between 1.5 and 3) 2. K2 (Activator X) –K2 needed to help get calcium where it needs to go C. Zinc-healthy immunity, better wound healing, aids in stomach acid (HCl) production, DNA synthesis D. Magnesium-helps calcium do what it's supposed to do 4. Endocrine system and minerals-each endocrine gland has a mineral on which it particularly depends. 1. Pituitary Gland: Manganese 2. Thyroid: Iodine 3. Pancreas: Chromium 4. Gonads: Selenium 5. Adrenals: Copper-if adrenals aren't functioning right, they can't produce Aldosterone. If Aldosterone levels are low, your body will dump salt through urination which will lead to an electrolyte imbalance. 6. Prostate: Zinc 5. Signs of mineral deficiency A. magnesium-heart palpitations, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite B. electrolyte imbalances: fatigue, headache, muscle cramps C. Zinc-Depressed immune system, low HCl production, slow wound healing D. Calcium-numbness in extremities E. Iron-anemia, feeling weak or tired F. Potassium-muscle cramping, weakness, constipation, bloating or abdominal pain, irregular heartbeat 6. Sources of minerals-our body can't make minerals so we have to get them from our diet. A. Calcium-milk, cheese, yogurt, broccoli, kale, Chinese cabbage B. Zinc-oysters, beef, turkey, cheese, swiss chard, pumpkin seeds C. Iron-meat, poultry, or fish, beef liver, clams, spinach, mussels, spirulina (seaweed), oysters, ginger D. Magnesium-Almonds, cashews, seeds, green leafy vegetables (spinach) E. Potassium-avocado, dark leafy greens, beets, cantaloupe, sardines Nutritional Pearls for Episode 7: 1. DON'T BE AFRAID OF SALT! 2.

Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy welcome special guest Danielle Brose to talk all about detoxification in Episode 6. Here's what Christine, Jimmy, and Danielle talked about in Episode 6: 1. Definition of toxin: any substance that creates irritating and/or harmful effects in the body A. External sources: pollution B. Internal sources: cellular wastes C. Any substance if too much, like water, sodium and almost all nutrients (in certain situations can cause a toxic environment 2. Toxins are everywhere A. Air and water pollution B. Radiation C. Chemicals D. Poorly digested foods E. Heavy metal exposure F. Bacterial/Parasitic/Fungal overgrowth 3. Detoxification is always taking place. It's the way the body heals and repairs itself. A. The vast majority of detoxification happens when we sleep. This is why it's not good to eat to close to going to bed. If we eat too close to going to bed, the body has to focus on digesting the food rather than the detoxification process. B. All the systems of the body have to be functioning properly before detoxification can take place 1. Diet: processed, lifeless food is seen as a toxin to the body 2. Digestion: If you aren't digesting correctly, the detoxification pathways can be blocked 3. Blood Sugar Balance: Blood sugar imbalances stress the liver and deplete the B vitamins which aid the liver in the detoxification process 4. Fats: fat tissue helps to protect the body from the toxins because the toxins are stored there; the fat we consume keeps the bile flowing. The bile is what removes the toxins from the body through the intestinal tract 5. Minerals: detoxification can create acidic blood. Minerals, in particular calcium, help buffer this affect 6. Hydration: helps keep the body flushing properly; needed to perspire properly; keeps blood flowing so toxins can be carried to where they need to go. 4. Systems involved in the detoxification process: A. Cardiovascular System-blood carries oxygen and nutrients to every cell as well as carrying away metabolic debris; blood helps cleans detoxification sites like the liver; blood clears the pathway for the immune system -Blood is the first thing to be affected by toxins. Once affected, it carries the toxins throughout the body affecting other systems. B. Lymph System-lymph (interstitial fluid) flows through the lymph nodes where bacteria and viruses are filtered out; helps prevent the liver from getting overburdened C. Digestive System-not only does the digestive system physically break down food, but it also does the following: 1. Scans food for invaders (bacteria, parasites) and filters them out 2. Detoxifies poorly digested, fermented toxins 3. Eliminates toxins and other unusable substances from the body -Organs of the digestive system that are particularly important to detoxification are the liver and gallbladder (cleanses and purifies blood) and intestines (provides a barrier from the rest of the body and has good bacteria which aid in detoxification) D. Urinary System-kidneys filter the blood to remove cellular waste (some water and bile pigments) E. Skin-sweat glands act like a second kidney; sweating is a very effective way to help remove toxins from the body. F. Respiratory System-lungs eliminate carbon dioxide; 5. Examples of detoxification methods A. Dry Brush Massage-helps keep lymph moving B. Bouncing Exercises C. Enemas/Colonics/Purgatives (anything that helps cleanse the body of feces) D. Sweating Therapies-Exercise All bodily functions must be working properly before you attempt to do a detoxification protocol Nutritional Pearl GET A $39 BOTTLE OF OLIVE OIL FOR JUST A BUCK GET YOUR $39 BOTTLE FOR JUST $1 NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship YOUR NEW KETO DIET ALLY NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship BECOME A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER Sign up for the 9-month program NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 6 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Complete nutriton for nutritional ketosis (COUPON CODE LLVLC FOR 10% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Become A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: The world's freshest and most flavorful artisanal olive oils. Get your $39 bottle for just $1 – JIMMY'S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENT LINE: Try the KetoEssentials Multivitamin and Berberine Plus ketogenic-enhancing supplements

Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy dig deep into blood sugar regulation in Episode 3. Here's what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 3: Normal Blood Sugar Regulation 1. Hormones involved in blood sugar regulation A. Insulin 1. Secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas 2. stores glucose in cells 3. brings glucose to the liver so the liver can convert it to glycogen (glycogenesis) B. Glucagon 1. produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas 2. helps maintain blood sugar levels between meals 3. creates “sugar” by glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen into glucose in the liver) and gluconeogenesis C. Cortisol 1. Adrenal hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex 2. released by the adrenal glands when blood sugar gets too low because glucagon is not sufficient 3. mobilizes proteins to be converted to glucose 4. replenishes glycogen storage (glycogenesis) 5. Stimulates the breakdown of triglycerides and the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue (lipolysis) D. Epinephrine 1. Stimulates the liver to create glucose from proteins and some fats 2. Stimulates the liver to convert glycogen back to glucose to be released into the bloodstream 3. Increases heart rate and blood pressure 2. Three main organs in blood sugar regulation A. Pancreas 1. Beta Cells release insulin when there is a need for glucose storage 2. Alpha Cells release glucagon when there is a need to make glucose a. signals the liver to turn glycogen into glucose (glycogenolysis) b. signals the liver to break down proteins into glucose (gluconeogenesis) 3. Delta Cells secrete the hormone somatostatin which inhibits gastric secretion B. Liver 1. Creates ketones from fatty acids 2. Receives signals from the pancreas (insulin or Glucagon) to store or create glucose 3. Creates glucose from proteins and some fats C. Adrenal Glands 1. Releases cortisol which mobilizes proteins to help glucose (gluconeogenesis); kicks in when glucagon is not enough 2. Releases epinephrine which helps in emergency situations by increasing heart rate, blood flow to the heart, muscles, and liver, dilates airways and determines our response to stress Nutritional Pearl in Episode 3: It's important to keep blood sugar levels in normal ranges so the adrenal glands don't get worn out INSURANCE JUST FOR KETONIANS NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   COUPON CODE LLVLC FOR 10% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship GET A $39 BOTTLE OF OLIVE OIL FOR JUST A BUCK GET YOUR $39 BOTTLE FOR JUST $1 NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship BECOME A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER Sign up for the 9-month program NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship JIMMY'S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENT LINE LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 3 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Complete nutriton for nutritional ketosis (COUPON CODE LLVLC FOR 10% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Life Insurance For Your Keto Lifestyle (Use promo code LOW-CARB) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Become A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: The world's freshest and most flavorful artisanal olive oils. Get your $39 bottle for just $1 – JIMMY'S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENT LINE: Try the KetoEssentials Multivitamin and Berberine Plus ketogenic-enhancing supplements     

How Digestion Works Definition of Digestion:  Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food.  The goal of digestion is to break down food to molecules small enough that the nutrients can be absorbed and used by the body. Proper digestion is absolutely necessary if you are going to be healthy.  Every part of our body depends on our digestive system to work correctly in order to absorb the nutrients it needs to function at it's best. Brain:  Digestion starts in the brain-parasympathetic state.  Sights and smells trigger salivary glands to release salivary amylase. Mouth:  Chewing breaks down the food and salivary amylase starts breaking down and moistening the food so it's easier to swallow.   The digestion of carbohydrates starts in the mouth.  When you swallow, the food that is broken down enters the esophagus as Bolus. Stomach:  The stomach continues with the digestion and breakdown of food using gastric juices (Mucous, Pepsinogen/Pepsin and Hydrochloric Acid –HCl-).  The main digestion of proteins starts in the stomach.  Normal stomach pH is 1.5-3. Some of the functions of stomach acid: Bathes the stomach Disinfects the stomach and kills bacteria and parasites that might be harmful Acid activates the pepsin so proteins can be digested Duodenum/Small Intestine:  The food that is broken down in the stomach then enters the duodenum (the upper part of the small intestine) is called Chyme.  Proper pH of this chyme causes the duodenum to release secretin which triggers the pancreas to release pancreatic juices and cholecystokinin which triggers the gall bladder to release bile.  The bile is what helps us digest the fats we eat.  When the chyme leaves the duodenum, the food we have eaten is almost totally digested. The small intestine is where the nutrients get absorbed into the bloodstream Carbohydrates get broken down into glucose molecules Proteins get broken down into amino acids and polypeptides Fats get broken down into fatty acids and glycerol (alcohol) molecules The Large Intestine:  The chyme that is not digested passes into the large intestine through a valve called the ileocecal valve.  In the large intestine, water is recycled, recycles the waste materials which nourishes the colon, the large intestine captures any nutrients that are lost which helps feed the gut flora and these nutrients get converted to Vitamins K, B1, B2, B12 and butyric acid (good for gut health), and the leftovers get formed in waste (fecal matter) which is expelled out of the body.

Nephrologist and low-carb obesity medicine practitioner  Dr. Keith Runyan is our guest today in Episode 1308 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.” In 1998, Dr. Keith  Runyan developed Type 1 diabetes at the age of 38 which was fairly well controlled with intensive insulin therapy, but he was plagued with frequent hypoglycemic episodes. In 2011, while training for an Ironman distance triathlon, he was looking for a better way to treat his diabetes and perform endurance exercise and he decided to give the low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet a try. In February 2012, Dr. Runyan began the diet for the treatment of his diabetes and learned that this diet was also effective for the treatment of numerous other conditions, including obesity. Dr. Runyan completed an Ironman distance triathlon on October 20, 2012, in a full state of nutritional ketosis and feeling great doing it. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Runyan share about how powerful a modality for optimizing health shifting from your body over from being a sugar-burner to a fat and ketone burner can be. When he realized he had diabetes, this St. Petersburg, FL-based nephrologist attempted to follow the American Diabetes Association recommended low-fat diet with a dietary intake of 50-60% carbohydrates. He thought he needed to eat this way along with balancing out his diet with insulin use, but his blood sugar control was still too erratic to be considered a success after two years of eating this way. That’s when Dr. Runyan decided to dibble-dabble with the low-carb strategies suggested by former podcast guest Dr. Richard Bernstein and in 2011 took at serious look at both the Paleo diet and the low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet to bring even better management of his diabetes as well as fueling his newfound passion for participating in triathlons. The results have been phenomenal. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Runyan discuss this extraordinary story of how one medical professional took back control of his own health and is now committed to helping his patients live a long and healthy low-carb lifestyle, too!

AFFORDABLE KETONE TESTING AT LAST KEY QUOTE: “I needed to reduce inflammation, heal my brain, and get my immune system in check. I knew that ketones do all those things so I started a ketogenic diet for my health.” — Shawn Mynar Here’s what Jimmy and Shawn talked about in Episode 73: - What can I do to heal my adrenals and thyroid issues while on a ketogenic diet? Do I need to heal these prior to going keto? Hey guys, I have been attempting to do a ketogenic diet since last July and it works wonders for my MS symptoms (I first heard about it from Dr. Terry Wahls). The issue I'm having now is adrenal fatigue and thyroid issues. I’m taking low-dose Synthroid, but I’m tired, nauseous, depressed, and feel cold all the time. Despite keeping my carbs under 30g total daily eating only whole foods, I have gained 20 pounds in two months. Since the adrenals and thyroid are connected, is it possible that I’m eating too low-carb for my stressed out adrenals? Or I am I not low-carb enough? You guys often say on Keto Talk that hormones dictate everything about your weight and health, but something is going on with me that I can’t seem to figure out. I feel like crap most of the time despite being on the healthiest diet I've ever eaten in my life—no gluten, no soy, no dairy, no sugar, 3-5 cups of fresh veggies, full fat coconut milk, grass-fed meats, cooking with bacon grease, and 1/2 cup of blueberries daily. Is there a way to heal my adrenals and thyroid with the ketogenic diet or do I need to heal these first before going full keto? Really love the podcast. All the best, Christy HIGH-FAT LOW-CARB, PERFECT MACROS NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   - The keto perspective on the What The Health? documentary - Preview of next week’s episode breaking down the misinformation shared 1. Does keto take away your period and lead to undesirable health effects? Should I add in starch every few days to deal with these issues? Hey there, I recently read this article by a naturopath named Dr. Lara Briden: http://www.larabriden.com/are-you-eating-enough-get-period-amenorrhea/ In the post, she claims that eating a low-carb, ketogenic diet will take away your period. I've still not had a period since I started keto over 20 months ago. I also developed all four of the signs she mentioned: low T3 (non-Hashimoto's hypothyroid), hair loss, constipation, and insomnia. I average 5.5 hours of less-than-restful sleep per night with sleep aids and high-dose melatonin waking up every couple of hours. I'm desperate to know how I can tweak my ketogenic diet to favor fertility. My naturopath knows very little about keto and I’m not sure she can help me. I’ve been strict keto with 20/4 intermittent fasting for a while, so I wonder if I could get away with some starch every few days to see if that helps. Between my infertility and profoundly low estradiol, it just know it has triggered my binge eating. Thanks so much for any help you can provide, Tara THE PERFECT KETO SUPPLEMENT USE COUPON CODE LLVLC FOR 15% OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship 2. Should I eat both low-carb and low-calorie in order to get into ketosis and see the results I’m looking for? Hi guys, I have listened to all of your podcasts, some of them twice as I’ve become a sponge with the information. My question for you is about breast cancer and ketosis. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 1/2 years ago and have had radiation and on tamoxifen for over three years. Cancer is what led me to start listening to health podcasts. During the cancer treatments, I put on 5kg (11 pounds) and it all seemed to develop in my midsection. I have tried low-carb and even keto, but can’t seem to get into ketosis no matter what I do. You guys have said many times on your podcast that some women need estrogen to help with weight loss, but I’m wondering if perhaps I need to be eating low-carb AND low-calorie in order to get the best results. When I’ve done keto previous about 8 years ago when I was at a bodybuilding gym, I lost a significant amount of weight very quickly. But I just can’t seem to get there now. I also take antidepressants to help with hot flashes and realize these have a side effect of weight gain. Can you help me? Jacki in Brisbane, Australia KEY QUOTE: “I just keep it simple. When cooking vegetables I'll throw in some bone broth or butter.” — Jimmy Moore MAKE KETO EASIER WITH FBOMB JIMMYLOVESFBOMB FOR 10% OFF YOUR FIRST FOOD ORDER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship 3. How can I get the benefits that ketosis provides my autoimmune arthritis without the unwanted weight loss that happens when I eat keto? I have been enjoying your podcasts and reading your Keto Clarity book. I started on a ketogenic diet to help with my autoimmune arthritis and I think I've been making some progress. Unfortunately, I’m losing weight and I don’t need to be. I’m 5’2” tall and actually underweight at 91 pounds. My goal is to be at 105 pounds. Despite shoveling down 75% fat in my diet, I just keep losing weight. Tracking my nutrition with an online tracker, it says my calories are higher than are required for me and yet my weight keeps dropping despite the fact I feel good. Should I choose being in ketosis and controlling my arthritis while losing weight or eating a few more carbohydrates to get out of ketosis in order to get back to normal weight again but dealing with the arthritis? Got any suggestions? I'd so love to get back some of my feminine curves again. Karen KETO TALK MAILBOX - How do I need to adjust the macronutrients on my ketogenic diet in the late stages of my pregnancy and while breastfeeding? Should I add more protein? Hi guys, Love the show! You are doing an amazing service, so keep up the good work. I’ve been keto for four months and I’m doing great losing 25 pounds and dropping my A1c from 5.6 to 5.0 in just two months of eating this way. My husband went keto at the same time as me and has lost 40 pounds. Needless to say, our doctor is ecstatic about our results. We’ve heard people joking about being careful when you go keto and normalize your hormones because it might just make getting pregnant easier—well SURPRISE, here comes baby #4! Are there any recommendations about how to adjust the macronutrients of my ketogenic diet for the second and third trimester and even once I started breastfeeding? I usually eat around 80% fat in my diet with protein around 70g and carbs at 20g. I’m definitely making sure I consume at minimum of 2,000 calories daily so I don’t stress my Hashimoto’s or my adrenals that I’ve worked so hard to heal over the past four years. Should I eat a bit more protein as the pregnancy continues? You guys will find this interesting that the way I found out I was pregnant was my ketones suddenly dropped to 0.3 after always registering 1.5-3.0 and on a hunch we did a pregnancy test. Whammo bammo, pregnant. Crazy right? I’m so thankful to be keto-adapted heading into this pregnancy and hoping it will keep my notorious severe morning sickness at bay this time around. Thanks again!

And which is more important as a health goal—lowering blood glucose levels or insulin levels? Hey guys, I understand that blood glucose can rise on a ketogenic diet due to the physiologic glucose sparing effect you guys have discussed several times on the podcast. In his new book FAT FOR FUEL, Dr. Joe Mercola shares his solution to this by simply eating more carbs and thus trigger an insulin response to bring the glucose down. Of course, if you eat more carbohydrates in your diet to make this happen, it will invariably kick you out of ketosis. So in light of this, it begs the question: which is worse for you to have—higher glucose levels or higher insulin levels? Is there another way to bring blood glucose down without triggering insulin to go up? Maybe some light exercise would do the trick? Thanks for answering my question.

In light of my blood work results, is it possible keto isn’t right for me? If I want longevity, energy, and mental benefits, how should I eat? Hi Jimmy and Adam, Thank you for all that you're putting out there regarding ketogenic living. I first came across you Jimmy when you did a podcast with Dave Asprey a few years back and have listened to all of your Livin’ La Vida Low Carb Show and Keto Talk episodes ever since. I've been experimenting with keto on and off for the past few years. I don't do it for weight loss since I'm a lean 32 year old male at 8% body fat with high muscle mass and in very good shape (I can run a sub-6 minute mile, deadlift 3x my body weight, etc.). I follow keto for constant energy, mental acuity and longevity purposes. When measuring my blood glucose levels while in keto, I find that they're quite high: 100-120 fasting blood glucose and up to 140 postprandial. I'm aware of physiologic insulin resistance, but the numbers nonetheless concern me; I just had blood labs done and my HbA1c was 5.8, up from 5.2 which were my numbers a year ago while on a moderate carb diet. My triglycerides have also gone up from 54 in February on moderate carb to 97 today. My total cholesterol has risen from 180 to 225 but that's to be expected on keto. My testosterone is a bit on the low side for my age at 450, but it’s been this way regardless of whether I'm on keto, moderate carb, or have taken a week off of training (I was hoping keto would raise it). Dr. Dominic D'Agostino acknowledges that for certain people, keto simply isn't the answer. Although I feel healthy eating this way, my blood work results seem to indicate otherwise. Am I one of those people who flourishes on moderate carb eating and the occasional fast and keto just isn't for someone like me? It's worth noting that my mother who is in her mid-60's is in spectacular shape with great lab numbers without ever going to the gym and she has always eaten a carb-laden diet. One more interesting note to share with you is my body composition is identical whether I’m eating keto or high carb. So, with longevity being one of my top priorities alongside stable energy and mental acuity, what nutritional approach do you think I should do to reach my goals? Thanks a lot for your help! Chris 2. Is it possible to create acidosis from your diet and exercise choices? How can you prevent this from happening? Hi guys, Thank you for your work as it's an absolute asset to so many of us. I started doing 2 workouts a day of weight lifting and running or walking. I’ve noticed I started having painful urination as well as my side started hurting recently. When I checked my urine ketone levels several times, they were always extremely dark. After reading a graph on Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt’s website about acidosis, I became concerned. I immediately ate a bunch of carbs from ice cream and other sources to try to deal with this issue and stop the pain by driving down the ketones. I also drank some baking soda mixed with water since I thought this had to do with acidity. Amazingly, 8 hours after doing this I STILL showed ketones on the urine ketone sticks. So then I ate some chili cheese fries bringing my total carb consumption that day to 500g. It's now been 3 days later and my body had never stopped producing ketones. It went to small levels at one point when I skipped my workout for a day. I'm a type 2 diabetic with chronic kidney disease who's used straight keto for about a year and have never seen anything like this. If I have a carb-filled meal, this will usually kick me out of ketosis for 4-5 days. So, have you seen acidosis happen as a result of diet and exercise? What are some things I can do to prevent that from happening again? Thanks for your insights on this!

Is there any added benefit to taking one month off from keto annually vs. constantly staying in nutritional ketosis? Hey Jimmy and The Doc, I have listened to most of your Keto Talk podcasts as well as some LLVLC podcasts and they are both informative and entertaining. What I take from hearing people like Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Ted Naiman and Dr. Nally is that the hormone insulin is what controls and signals the storage or burning of fat and that lower insulin levels (outside of being a Type 1 diabetic) is healthier. It seems that intermittent fasting, keto, and exercise all lower insulin and improve health. Many of the arguments point to the evolution and hunter gatherer hypothesis of storing fat in times of plenty during the spring and summer and then burning stored body fat during the winter and when food was in shortage between animal kills. The problem with the modern-day SAD diet is that there are too many carbs in our diet that leads to elevated insulin levels which then results in insulin resistance and your body is constantly storing fat, never using it in times of need which never come, and leaves the individual perpetually hungry to eat and eat and eat. My question for you guys is this: if we are designed to store and burn fat and alternate from using ketones and glucose as our fuel source, then isn’t this an argument for cycling in and out of ketosis on a regular basis? Since getting keto-adapted takes about 4-6 weeks for most people, why wouldn’t doing 11 months of keto with one month of a non-ketogenic diet be better than eating keto 24/7/365? I have not found any studies on this and I would imagine the change in diet would be good for the body to serve as reset for just one month a year. I know yo-yo dieting is bad for your overall health and that there is a risk of a relapse to your old ways when you get off of keto that could prevent you from going back to it again. But there might be real benefits to this as it probably better resembles how our ancestors evolved in their nutrition and may help reset your body to get better results after long-term ketosis. What do you think? Colin HIGH-FAT LOW-CARB, PERFECT MACROS NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship KETO TALK MAILBOX   - Why does my health seemingly deteriorate when I go too low on carbs and improves again when I add back in rice and other carbohydrates?   Hey Jimmy and The Doc,    I’m loving my new lifestyle change using fasting and a ketogenic diet to address my Hashimoto's and weight loss concerns. I started on New Year’s Day this year and I’m already down 44 pounds and feel fantastic most of the time. However, I have noticed that if I fast too much or keep my carbohydrate intake too low over a week that my health deteriorates with an increase in my level of fatigue, slower metabolism, severe depression, and thyroid symptoms rearing their ugly head. In my research into this, it all seems to point to reverse T3 levels which I’ve found is fixed when I eat a bowl of rice and start eating more carbs again. So how do I continue to lose weight, improve my health, and keep feeling great eating keto without these unwanted side effects? My daughter also suffers from this same thing, so there seems to be something to it. Any thoughts?   Thanks so much,   Lisa JIMMY AND DR.

Dear Jimmy and Doc Nally, Thank you for doing what you do. My life has changed thanks to this podcast. I have a quick question you guys: I recently got my Pathway Genomics results and the report said that my genes would benefit from a LOW FAT, higher carb diet. I have been keto for a year and I was shocked to see this. The report suggested my fats should be comprised of 20-25% of my diet, protein 20-25% and carbs 50-55%! I shuddered when I read this. It also said my body can process monounsaturated fats better than animal fats. What gives? Do my genes just not lend themselves to a keto diet? All the best, Esma KEY QUOTE: “If your low-carb ketogenic diet is working, why would you cheat and put your body through that?”  – Jimmy Moore STUDY: Submitted by Dr. Dallas Peak, MD who was taken in by the use of the phrase “benign dietary ketosis” (BDK) to describe nutritional ketosis 1. Why did my symptoms of Raynaud’s syndrome seem to get worse when I started eating keto? Hey Jimmy and The Doc, I went gluten free years ago and Paleo was the next natural step. I have had autoimmune issues my whole life and my doctors couldn’t figure it out. One of them once told me, "we usually only see these symptoms in overweight people", but overweight I am not. When first going Paleo, I made a drastic mistake without knowing it. The Paleo crowd was all about the bananas and potatoes back then so that's what I did. Even though I am not big fans of either of these they were the least offensive carbs and it seemed to help. A few months ago I decided to go with a ketogenic approach doing it the correct way this time. I still have fruit in the house for my kids but I have not touched it. I never had the low-carb flu and within a week was sleeping like a rock for the first time in years despite living the stressful life of being a single mom. Joint pain did not flare up as much and my migraines are not showing up as often. My question for you guys is this: I have always been plagued with Raynaud's syndrome. It lasts all year long, not just in the winter. I have noticed that since I do not feel hungry on a regular basis it is easy to go many hours without food while out running errands without noticing how long it has been. My Raynaud’s then rears it's ugly head and I feel it. I'm not sure if it's going too long on an empty stomach or something else happening, but the Raynaud's is the only thing that has gotten worse since I started eating keto. Do you know why this is happening? I am already taking a magnesium supplement to help. Even if you guys have no solution for me, I will just suck it up buttercup and deal with it as I have in the past because the benefits I am getting from nutritional ketosis far outweigh the cold hands and feet that I have always had to deal with anyway. Listening to Keto Talk, it is very clear to me that you guys have a goal of helping people and getting correct information out there. I am so glad I found your podcast. Thank you both for your time and effort and keep up the great work. Sarah 2. Why did I start experiencing very sore spots on my skin when I decided to cheat on my low-carb, ketogenic diet? Hey Jimmy and The Doc, I recently found your podcast and have greatly enjoyed getting caught up on all the episodes! I have a question that might actually be a new one for you as I haven’t heard it discussed on your show before. I have been eating low-carb, ketogenic with weekly cheat days as Tim Ferriss outlines in his book The Four-Hour Body. After about six months of doing this, I noticed I would wake up with very sore spots on my skin following a cheat day. It seemed to be concentrated on my torso and sometimes on my upper arms, neck, and scalp. This soreness was on the surface of the skin, not the muscles or joints. The best way I can describe it is it felt like a giant bruise that was only painful when you pressed on it. My skin would be so sensitive that I would skip running or other exercise that day because the mere bouncing of my skin was too uncomfortable to bear. The surface area of skin that would be sore seemed to correlate positively with how much crappy carbage I splurged on the previous day. Interestingly, the first areas to become sore were the areas in which I tend to store fat, such as the love handles, and the soreness would radiate out from there. If I had a really obscene cheat day, then even my upper leg skin would get sore. Very surprisingly, this phenomenon did not go away when I went back to the high-carb Standard American Diet for a period of time. It seemed anytime I indulged in something particularly sugary/carby, my skin got sore. This soreness would only subside after a day of eating low-carb keto again. So my questions for you guys is this: What could be causing this? Is it just a rapid-onset generalized edema resulting from a significant increase in carbs? Why did it not begin occurring until a good 6+ months into eating low-carb and why did it persist after I went back on a high-carb diet? Have I permanently altered how my body reacts to carbs by going low-carb for so long? Finally, should I be concerned about this? While trying to find answers to these questions online, I saw this “sore skin” phenomenon mentioned by a couple of people on low-carb diet forums who claimed they never experienced this before going low-carb. But none of these references included any explanations other than "possible edema". Thanks so much for your help and your wonderful podcast! CD JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 3. Can Adderall be having an adverse effect on getting into ketosis? And does keto do anything to help improve adult ADHD? Dear Keto Talk hosts, I am a 62-year old female and have been moving to keto through the usual progression—it started 20 years ago trying to eat local and real food, then on to WAPF, then Paleo, and now low-carb, ketogenic consuming 20-40g carbohydrates daily. Most of my carbs come from salad, kefir, cheese, and kombucha. My blood sugars have been coming down but I am still in the high 90s for fasting blood sugar in the morning. I have only seen .5 once on the blood ketone meter. I am trying to figure out what might be preventing ketosis for me and I have a couple of suspects. Because I have some of the MTHFR family of variations, my doctor has me on 1000 mcg of L-methylfolate and adenosyl/hydroxy B12. I am also taking 10 mg daily of Adderall. Would any of these be having an adverse effect on getting into ketosis? And does ketosis have any positive effect on improving adult ADHD? I’d really love to get off of that medication if at all possible. Thanks for any insights you can provide. Stephanie KETO TALK MAILBOX - Why can’t I stay in ketosis eating what seems to be a well-formulated low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat, ketogenic diet? Hey Jimmy and The Doc, I listen to your Keto Talk podcast all the time and I have been doing keto for nearly 2 months. I am 6'7" and weigh 220 pounds with 16% body fat. I started keto for all the health benefits, energy, and disease prevention it provides. I eat about 100g protein, less than 20g carbs, and 200g of fat. This all seems right to me and I am being very strict with it. I get lots of sleep, am not stressed, and have experimented with exercising a little and not doing any exercise. There’s only one problem: I JUST CANT STAY IN KETOSIS! I bought a blood ketone monitor and the highest reading I have seen is 1.2 for a very short 2-day period and most of the time I am less than 0.5. Every morning I wake up I am 0.2 and then it’ll rise to 0.6 mid day and once in awhile I'll get to 0.8 in the evening or sometimes it goes the other way and I'll drop back down to 0.3. I eat bacon and eggs in the morning with coffee, MCT oil, and full fat whipping cream as well as high-fat meats and cheeses or cream cheeses for lunch and supper. The frustrating thing for me is my wife is getting 2.5-3.5 on the ketone meter eating the exact same thing I am. HELP! I hope you have an idea why I can't stay in ketosis.

JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS KEY QUOTE: “People that have been fasting and are farther along in their journey tend to opt for better quality food choices like eggs that are truly free-range.” – Megan Ramos   Here’s what Jimmy and Dr. Fung talked about in Episode 23: Some special iTunes comments that Jimmy and Megan address at the top of the show TESTIMONIAL:   Jimmy,   I’ve always had troubles with my triglycerides since I gained weight after college. When I had them tested in December, they came back at 4543 mg/dL. These results were so shockingly high that they had to do the tests twice to verify the number! In January I started researching options for lowering my triglycerides and came across intermittent fasting. I eased into it over a two-week period to get acclimated from the sugar withdrawal, along with cutting out all of the bad white foods in my diet. While I was going through this, I came The Compete Guide to Fasting audiobook. After listening, I felt confident that I was on the right track because for once the science actually made sense. So I started adding 36-hour fasts on the weekend and had my triglycerides tested again. The results came back at 748 mg/dL. I’ve also experienced a weight loss of 15 pounds. So, I just wanted to say thanks.  I’m currently listening to Keto Clarity and considering adding a ketogenic diet to my fasting.   Robert WORLD’S 1ST REUSABLE BREATH KETONE ANALYZER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship     1. What are the specific dangers and concerns of doing a fast without medical supervision? Hey guys, Can you go over the dangers of doing a 7-day distilled water-only fast without any medical supervision? I am on a very tight budget and can’t really afford to go see the doctor to monitor me. When I asked my personal doctor about fasting, he said that I should monitor my urine pH levels and that if they get too acidic to stop the fast. But he didn’t say what level that is. Would you concur with this? I know you can’t endorse doing a fast without medical supervision, but for folks who are going to do it anyway, is there any advice that you can give? Thanks for your help, Margaret KEY QUOTE: “You can test for your level of inflamation, and if it's elevated then both fasting and a ketogenic diet are great anti-inflamatory methodoligies.” – Jimmy Moore   2. Is it possible to heal a food reactivity/allergy like eggs and dairy with a water-only fast? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I really really really want to permanently heal my reactivity to eggs where I experience itchy eyes, nose, lips, along with a runny nose. And I’ve done every friggin’ thing under the sun food-wise: supplements, keto, autoimmune protocol, Paleo, and fasting. At some point, my reaction to eggs inevitably returns and I need to give them up for a while. Have you seen people who have fasted permanently find success healing their reactivity to eggs and dairy? Success in my world means no symptoms or inflammation-related weight gain. I haven’t attempted a water-only fast yet and this is the next thing I would like to try. I realize this is probably going to be a long-term project and not something I’m going to knock out in two weeks. Thank you all for the encouragement and realism: progress, not perfection is my motto now.

Is it normal to experience stomach pain that disrupts sleep when fasting for more than 24 hours? Hey guys, I love listening to Fasting Talk and reading your book. I’ve been IF for a year now. Started with 16/8 and then have been doing 18/6 for a long time. I’ve done a few 24 hour fasts, a 48 hour fast, and most recently a 42 hour fast for the purposes of fat loss. My question for you guys is this: Is it common to get stomach pain when fasting for more than 24 hours? It's not hunger pangs, but feels like gastritis pain. In fact, the pain wakes me up at night it’s so bad. I don’t feel this pain when I’m eating and I only find relief from it while fasting when I drink spiced tea. Have you had any IDM patients deal with anything like this? Thank you, Monika 4. Does combining a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting cause a delay in the menstrual cycle or even missing a period? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I have been doing IF and keto for about a month and half and I love the combination because it allows me to enjoy real food when I eat and gives me excellent mental clarity. My purpose in IF and keto is to prevent Type 2 diabetes since my A1c has been 5.8 the past couple of years. I’m already seeing my blood sugar and A1c drop, so I’m very happy with my nutritional choices. However, I do have a concern that I’ve noticed. Before my IF and keto protocol, my periods usually come every 38 days. But since I changed my diet and added fasting, it has been 46 days since my last menstrual cycle and I still have no period. Does the combination of IF and keto cause a delay in the menstrual cycle or even missing a cycle? Keto Talk and Fasting Talk are my favorite podcasts and they’ve helped me so much.

Is there a degree or certification for ketogenic diets and fasting that you can recommend to guide clients nutritionally? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I'm a personal trainer and want to go to school to become a registered dietician. But since my desire is to promote the ketogenic diet, I’m concerned seeing so many RDs facing backlash and possibly losing their license for going "off-script.” As a personal trainer, we are supposed to educate our clients on how to eat, but all they promote is the government-recommended low-fat diet. I also want to promote fasting to my clients, but I’m not sure whether there is a degree or certification I could obtain to properly guide my clients.

KETOFEST.COM NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship - Is there concern about very high levels of bile acid from a high-fat ketogenic diet leading to an increased cancer risk? Hi Jimmy and Adam, I was listening to Dr. Rhonda Patrick on Joe Rogan’s podcast where she mentioned that bile acid, namely, deoxycholic acid, is necessary to emulsify fat for absorption in the intestine and that a high consumption of fat – over 60% of calories - on a regular basis means the body is subject to higher levels of this acid. She stated outright that deoxycholic acid in higher than usual quantities causes damage to the DNA, even going so far as describing it as carcinogenic. Dr. Patrick noted that a ketogenic diet will ultimately result in the failure of the enzymes whose function is to repair DNA and thus will put the person at greater risk of cancer. I am a Type 2 diabetic and have maintained a ketogenic diet for the past year. I was persuaded to adopt this diet by reading Keto Clarity and am regularly in a state of nutritional ketosis. My last HbA1c was 5.2% and my fasting insulin level was 4. I can’t imagine adopting some other approach despite the concerns about the higher levels of deoxycholic acid required to emulsify the fat. But is Dr. Patrick correct in her assessment of this cancer risk with keto? Thanks for your help!

Does adding in carbs resolve the issue? Hi Jimmy and the Doc! Thanks for a great podcast! I really enjoy the information, and particularly when The Doc geeks out on us. My question for you guys is about hypoglycemia. If a person starting keto experiences a hypoglycemic episode, what’s the best way to deal with it? I can do 2-3 days of a keto diet but then on the 3rd or 4th morning I wake up with low blood sugar levels and experience nausea, feeling shaky, unfocused, and sometimes seeing brown spots. My blood glucose dips into the 40s and resolves after eating an apple, or some raisins, or some sweet potato. But then I feel like crap for the whole day. I don’t get this reaction when I simply eat lower carb with some sweet potatoes or fruit during the day. But I really want to experience all the full benefits of being ketogenic. I know I can't possibly be the only one who struggles with this. Thanks and keep up the good work!

What is inflammation and why is it the evil bogeyman in our health? How exactly does a ketogenic diet lower inflammation? Hey guys, The keto community tends to throw around the topic of inflammation A LOT without much explanation about what it is. I think I know what it means, but I'm not 100% sure and I would venture to guess that most people don't. Can you address this on the podcast and how exactly a ketogenic diet helps lower it?

And will eating this kick me out of ketosis? Hi Jimmy and the Doc, I love your show! Although I’ve been at a healthy weight all my life, I’ve decided to follow a ketogenic diet to have a more positive relationship with food and to balance my moods. Your podcast has greatly inspired me! I recently bought a pack of cultured butter at the grocery store and after having some for the first time, I noticed that I was craving more of it which usually never happens when I consume fat. After doing some research I discovered that fermented dairy products tend to have a higher glycemic index than non-fermented. What is the impact of cultured butter on the hormones that control hunger and cravings? And could consuming fermented dairy products knock me out of ketosis? Valerie from Ontario, Canada KETO TALK MAILBOX - Is it common knowledge that the AMA promotes ketosis for a greater sense of well-being and pain reduction at the end of life? Hey Jimmy and Adam, I just lost my grandfather to pancreatic cancer. He chose to have no artificial nutrition through a feeding tube and IV in the last few days of his life. I believe that this allowed him to go into ketosis and eased his passing. I also found a reference to ketosis being beneficial at the end of life in an American Medical Association (AMA) publication. In researching this further, I found the following statement in the Education for Physicians on End-of-life Care Handbook by the AMA: "Educate families about the studies that demonstrate that parenteral or enteral feeding of patients at the end of their lives neither improves symptom control nor lengthens life. Help them to understand that anorexia may be protective, as the resulting ketosis can lead to a greater sense of well-being and diminish pain." So my questions for you guys is this: Is this common knowledge in the medical community in general? We were never told this by any of my grandfather’s medical caretakers and instead were encouraged to have him drink Boost with 20-30g sugar/serving right to the end. In light of this, could exogenous ketones have helped him ease the pain more and remain lucid enough to engage with the family a period of time longer before passing? I really hope that you can share about this on Keto Talk. At least this community may be able to help a dying loved one by NOT pushing sugary drinks on them even when the nurses and doctors insist. Or possibly asking for no dextrose in their IV, especially if the patient has already said that he is ready to pass. It may be helpful to share the AMA reference with family members and caregivers, and explain what ketosis is and that the patient may not be feeling hunger. Those of us who have experienced ketosis know this firsthand. It takes courage to go against mainstream thinking, especially in the world of medicine and health. I appreciate that you do it every day with your podcasts, blogs, and books.

Why did I turn yellow and feel unwell at the end of a 7-day fast? Dear Jimmy and Megan, I recently completed my first 7-day fast and I felt GREAT with tons of energy. I would have continued, but I literally turned yellow and looked desiccated, haggard and unwell. I’ve completed a number of 4-5 day fasts in the past with much less of a problem than anything like this. Have you run across this in the IDM clinic and should I push through and hope it will this improve with time? I don’t have diabetes or any other underlying medical problems. Thanks! Elizabeth 2. Does fasting raise blood pressure levels? Hi guys, For the last month, I have been doing the 5:2 version of fasting as a warm-up for some of the protocols you set out in your fasting book. I’m 46, not diabetic but I am overweight with a BMI of 28, and I’m hoping fasting will prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes, lead to weight loss, and re-calibrate my eating habits. So far I’ve lost 4 pounds, my clothes are looser, and I no longer feel polluted inside. Fasting days are not always easy, especially in this cold northern England climate, but I still look forward to them! I have recently started having significantly higher blood pressure readings than usual (138/75 upon waking). I’m not completely sure why this is happening, but I did recently complete a course of prednisone for asthma and a chest infection. I also have a busy job with two lively young children. Enough said, right? But I have heard from people on a 5:2 fasting forum that fasting itself may have caused my elevated blood pressure. Is it true that fasting leads to an increase in blood pressure levels? Thank you for the book and the podcast. I’ve learned so much from both and use them to inspire me when fasting gets hard.

Should I be concerned about my appetite dropping on feasting days to match my fasting days during an intermittent fast? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I love listening to Fasting Talk and I have a question for you guys. I’ve just started alternate day fasting and I’m fasting on 500 calories (M, W and F) and then eating normally the other 4 days. It’s going pretty well for me so far, but I’m finding that on the “normal eating” days my appetite has reduced a fair bit and I’m not wanting to eat the same amount as I did prior to beginning alternate day fasting. My concern is if I reduce the amount of food I eat to fit with my lowering appetite levels that it will begin to creep downward to where it is on my non-fasting days. Am I at risk for slowing down my metabolism doing this? As someone who has spent most of her life as a yo-yo dieter, I’m really worried about rebound weight gain from doing this. Can you offer any tips on what I can do to prevent this from happening? I am loving alternate day fasting and really getting into the groove with it. Help me optimize the results I’ll get from it.

Do the watery stools/diarrhea that can happen during and after a fast be an indication of and come from gut bacteria dying off? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I am one of those people who ends up with watery stools during and after I break a fast. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about why. I know Jimmy mentioned that he was also puzzled as to what is coming out when nothing is going in during an extended fast. Is it possible that some of the bowel bacteria (which I understand make up a good deal of stool) are dying from not being fed? And since they are dead, they are eliminated from the body while extended fasting? It certainly smells like something died in there. I also wonder whether some of the health improvements of fasting occur because of the elimination of carb-loving bacteria and replacing them with the ones that survive better while fasting. I imagine those are the bacteria that would have thrived inside our ancient ancestors who regularly fasted. Is there any merit to my theory? Thanks for the new podcast, I never miss it!

Can I fast for a couple of days prior to running a marathon to more efficiently burn fat for fuel during the race?   Hey Jimmy and Megan,   Thanks for doing Fasting Talk. It’s been a useful, professional, and inspirational guide in building my fasting knowledge. I made my first fasting attempt this week and made it 48 hours with my typical intense workouts (hard running on one day and swimming the next day) just to see what would happen. To my surprise, I had lots of energy to power through my workouts. So my question for you guys is this: Is it a good idea to fast for two days prior to running a marathon? My goal is to efficiently burn fat for fuel during the race, so will this strategy help me?   Thanks for take the time to answer my question.   Adriana JIMMY AND DR.

Does pain symptom improvement while extended fasting mean the damaged cells are removed or is it simply the inflammation going down?   Hey guys,   I have been suffering with awful post nasal drip for over a year along with a sore Achilles heel and I thought my running career was over (I’m a long distance runner and keto athlete). I began fasting in January consuming water, tea, and bone broth. By the 36-hour, my post nasal drip had vanished and some tooth pain I was having had disappeared as well. By Day 5, my Achilles pain was 50% more tolerable. I felt so good on Day 7 that I continued my fast. I’m currently on Day 9 and ran 10 miles yesterday. I noticed my Achilles pain was minimal during that run and the morning stiffness I had been experiencing has vanished. Finally, my nagging tennis elbow in my right arm is now pain-free. Does this mean that the fast has perhaps eaten all the damaged cells that were causing all these symptoms? Or is it more likely that my inflammation is down significantly as a result of the fasting to allow healing?   Fasting ROCKS and thanks SO much for your work sharing about it! I’m so excited about this podcast and The Complete Guide To Fasting. THANK YOU!   Theresa    5. Does black coffee activate enzymes in the liver that prevent someone who drinks it during a fast to experience the full benefits?   Hey guys,   Love this podcast! Thank you for all you are doing for people all over the world! Keep up the great work. I was curious, I heard one of your fellow podcasters Dr. Rhonda Patrick (Find My Fitness podcast) state that even black coffee activates some enzymes in the liver. She noted that this means technically a fast that allows for black coffee is not a true fast. Personally, I feel I get the benefits of my 24 and 36 hour fasts even with my black coffee. My question for you is this: In light of this information from Dr. Patrick, can we still experience autophagy and other fasting benefits while drinking coffee? Or do we only get these benefits from a water-only fast?    Thank you!   Kyle RESERVE YOUR TICKETS AT KETOFEST.COM NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship iTunes review: LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 20 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Get the new lemon-lime flavored Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme supplement (Get $10 off your order with coupon code “LLVLC”) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: The world’s freshest and most flavorful artisanal olive oils. Get your $39 bottle for just $1. – JIMMY AND DR.

ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS HOT TOPIC: How much to eat on feasting days to distinguish from fasting days? 1. Why do I have a tight feeling in my throat while I’m extended fasting? Is it my thyroid detoxing or something else? Hello Jimmy and Megan! I’m now 4 1/2 days into my first ever 7-day water fast. Thanks to The Complete Guide to Fasting, I was well-prepared and I managed the first two days just fine and the hunger pangs are all but gone now. I’m sleeping soundly, and my daily energy levels are sufficient enough to handle my normal activities, but I don’t feel like there’s enough gas in the tank for my normal exercise routines. I do have a few worrisome symptom that I wanted to ask you about. I’ve noticed a tight feeling in my throat starting in the morning of Day 3. It’s located around the hollow of my neck just at and above the level of my collar bone. It’s actually something I used to feel all the time, before I adopted a cleaner way of eating over a year ago and that sensation has been gone for several months. But now it’s back with a vengeance since I commenced extended fasting. It seems to be where I think my thyroid is, so of course I’m wondering if my thyroid is suffering or just detoxing and getting healthy and strong again. Any ideas about what might be going on? Bless you for resurrecting the important tool of fasting! I had all but given up on shedding these extra 10 pounds that suddenly appeared a couple years ago. I’m thrilled about reforming my eating habits, improving my blood sugar, and EASILY eliminating wheat and artificial sweeteners, and of course the weight loss.

Would limiting my fasting to non-training days be best for someone like me doing Brazilian jiu jitsu? Hey Jimmy and Megan, About two years ago I was living a sedentary lifestyle and weighed 275 pounds at 5'9". Now I'm down to 190 pounds after a lot of hard work and not drastically changing my eating habits other than cutting out sodas, cakes, and other sugary snacks. I'm what you might call a "fatthlete" (fat athlete). I train Brazilian jiu jitsu five days a week and I'm a little worried about fasting because from what I understand about it vigorous physical activity can cause problems for people. What are your thoughts on circadian fasting or fasting only on days I don't train? Would those be better fasting options for me? Thank you in advance for your advice, James 4. Is it okay to engage in a fast post-surgery? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Hi guys, I’m so glad I found Fasting Talk. I already listened to Keto Talk and this new podcast makes my life complete. What I want to know about is if there are any guidelines for fasting after surgery. Is there a time period when it’s not advisable to fast post-op? Or does it depend of the surgery? I had my appendix out just before Christmas and while I felt fine doing a 40-hour fast in the week afterwards, my husband got rather anxious about me doing this. I have been doing a 20-4 intermittent fast most days for the last year with occasional longer fasts. But I haven’t found any information about fasting post-surgery anywhere.

Also, I’ve heard about a lot of people having success doing the Master cleanse which uses lemons and maple syrup? I know the latter has a lot of sugar but maybe this works best for people who are more insulin sensitive. Any thoughts on this?

I had improved blood pressure, amazing mental clarity and even ran my fastest 5K ever. Wow! I’m going to keep extended fasting as part of my routine along with regular intermittent fasting. I have a question for you guys that I haven’t heard addressed yet. Other than measuring changes in blood glucose and ketone levels, how would someone know they are improving their insulin resistance? Are there ways you quantify this in your patients at IDM?   Thanks so much for all that you do.  I am so very grateful that I found you guys!   Kate RESERVE YOUR TICKETS AT KETOFEST.COM NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   1. What are the hormone improvements and adaptations that take place doing shorter fasts of 24-36 hours?   Dear Jimmy and Megan,   I have read Keto Clarity, The Obesity Code and The Complete Guide to Fasting, so thanks for all these great resources. In The Obesity Code, Dr. Fung writes about a lot of adaptations that happen during fasting including a rise in epinephrine. But according to the book, those adaptations do not kick in until around Day 3 or 4 of extended fasting. So what I want to know is what hormonal improvements or adaptations take place during an intermittent or alternate day fasting period of 24-36 hours?   Keep up the great work!  I’ve been intermittent fasting for 10 weeks and I’m down 20 pounds!   Thanks,   Ari GIVE YOUR ELECTROLYTES A SUGAR-FREE BOOST USE COUPON CODE “LLVLC” FOR $10 OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   2. Why am I not getting the same benefits from fasting now that had I previously when I fasted? What can I do about it?   Hey Jimmy and Megan,   Many years ago, I would regularly fast twice weekly for 24 hours at a time. I experienced improved energy, weight loss, improved body composition, and lower inflammation levels. I then fell off the wagon for a few years with changes in employment and other life circumstances. But in recent months I have started fasting again and follow a ketogenic diet when I’m feasting. But I’ve noticed since coming back to fasting again that the amazing benefits that I had previously aren’t happening. Do you have any recommendations for someone like me who has seen the positive impact of fasting before and is not seeing it now? Why is this happening?   Thanks so much for answering my question. I am loving the new podcast…it's so motivating!   Warm regards,   Christine from Australia KEY QUOTE: "Even if you're eating a low-carb ketogenic diet, it's still a good idea to give your pancreas a break every now and then." – Jimmy Moore   3. Which fasting protocol is best for weight loss? How do you lose weight doing IF? How long before you burn stored body fat while extended fasting?   Dear Jimmy and Megan,   Thank you for creating this podcast on fasting. My question for you is about weight loss. What is the best fasting strategy for losing weight? I’ve heard that when you fast, it takes about 24-36 hours for your glycogen stores in the liver to become completely depleted and then you begin to burn your own stored body fat for energy. If that's true, then intermittent fasting would seemingly not work for losing weight because after about 16-20 hours of IF you start eating again. So how is it possible to lose weight on IF? Thus, it seems that extended fasting would be better than IF for the purposes of weight loss. Am I right? And how long does it take before you start losing stored body fat during fasting and not just water weight?   Thank you so much. I just listened to your audiobook for The Complete Guide To Fasting. Keep up the great work!   Jorge GET A $39 BOTTLE OF OLIVE OIL FOR JUST A BUCK GET YOUR $39 BOTTLE FOR JUST $1 NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   4. What are the signs of electrolyte imbalance during a fast and what are your best tips for replenishing these electrolytes on a water-only extended fast?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   I have engaged in extended water fasting twice—one 5-day fast and one 8-day fast. Interestingly, I experienced brain fog and tiredness throughout these fasts and I’m thinking I might be having issues with keeping my electrolytes in balance. So what are your very best tips for replenishing electrolytes during an extended water fast? And what are the signs to look for that electrolytes are out of whack?   I’m planning on doing an even longer fast the next time and your advice is appreciated. I took a multivitamin, fish oil, lite salt (for the sodium and potassium), and Himalayan rock sea salt. Thank you for your help!   Adam   5. Why don’t you recommend coffee enemas during an extended fasting for the added cleansing benefits it provides?   Hey guys,   Why don't you recommend people to use enemas during their fasting? Coffee enemas are highly recommended by people like Dr. Nicholas Gonzales and others for cancer, cleansing the liver, and more?   Great show!   Diana JIMMY AND DR.

I am a Mental health clinician and am one course short of finishing my Masters of Health Administration. I live in Victoria which is on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Like most people, I have tried everything to “stay healthy” and lose weight. But nothing really worked for long. The scientific evidence that Dr Jason Fung presented in the Obesity Code really made sense to me and I began the IDM program at the end of November 2016. I feel like I have found the answer I was looking for and my life will never be the same!

Or can you eat a high-carb diet and still fast? 1. How often can someone do an extended fast? How do you prevent gaining back all the weight loss during an extended fast? Hey Jimmy and Megan, Fasting has totally changed my life, so thank you for sharing on this podcast. I have a few questions for you that I would love to hear the answers to. How often can you engage in extended fasts of five or more days? And how can I be sure that I don’t regain all the weight I lose while on an extended fast? Thanks for your help, KEY QUOTE: “In our clinic we work on fasting first and diet second. Fasting helps regulate hunger hormones then you make better food choices. ” – Megan Ramos Natalia 2. Why did my fasting blood glucose spike on the day after an alternate day fast? Does eating this Mercola-styled meal actually enhance your fasting? Hey guys, I am really enjoying Fasting Talk. I love and appreciate Dr. Fung's ability to relate info in a way that anyone can understand. And, of course, I have listened to you, Jimmy, for a long time. I am loving Megan Ramos and look forward to hearing more from her on upcoming episodes. My question for you guys is this: I practice alternate day fasting and I take my blood sugar reading the morning after a fasting day. Much to my surprise, my last reading jumped 25 points! I have read that sometimes this happens when hormones such as cortisol, glucagon, and epinephrine are released causing the liver to release glucose. Incidentally, I did eat a small meal of 3 ounces of ham and 8 ounces green beans about 3-4 before bed, so possibly that is the culprit in my higher reading. Dr. Joe Marcela was the one who recommended eating a meal consisting of 500 calories or less with 20-30g protein and 8 ounces of green vegetable to enhance my fasting so I thought I’d give it a try.

What would be the benefits of fasting for only two days when it seems the most results coming after that? Hey Jimmy and Megan, Thanks for the awesomely informative podcast! I'm pretty familiar with keto, but I’m absolutely clueless about fasting. I have a question for you guys to address today about fasting. Several things seem to spike up during the first few days of fasting before going down again. Doesn't this mean that doing a two-day fast means you are only getting the worst part of the fasting experience? Don’t people who do this short of a fast deny themselves of seeing the ultimate benefits of seeing these things coming back down again and feeling good on the other side?

Why did I experience hypoglycemia in Day 2 of an extended fast? What can I do to prevent this from happening again? Hi guys, I've read The Complete Guide to Fasting and have been loving the Fasting Talk podcast. As a science teacher, I really appreciate how you present the information. I initiated what I wanted to be a four-day fast and maybe longer recently. I made it to the 32-hour mark before experiencing signs of hypoglycemia. I was shaky, dizzy, faint, and very weak despite my heart rate at around 100 bpm. When I checked my blood sugar, it was down to 33. Because I didn’t feel safe to drive at the moment, I decided to drink 8 ounces of pomegranate juice since that was the only thing I could find to bring my blood sugar back up. I assume it improved because the symptoms decreased a bit and I made it to work safely. I'm generally healthy except for elevated cholesterol and a bit of excess weight and I'm hoping these things will be fixed by fasting and keto. Any thoughts on what happened here and should I be concerned? If I try to do an extended fast again, do you have any tips to prevent this the next time? Thanks for your help! Heather JIMMY AND DR.

Julian GIVE YOUR ELECTROLYTES A SUGAR-FREE BOOST USE COUPON CODE “LLVLC” FOR $10 OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship TESTIMONY: Hey Megan, I just wanted to tell you how your advice to switch it up is working for me. I'm on my second time through a 6 day cycle of 3 days fasting followed by 3 days feasting. Before I started, I was eating keto to satiety and slowly gaining weight. I was eating a lot at night, eating lots of macadamias, and drinking wine. So, I was primed for a change. My first day of a 3-day fast started with keto coffee (lots of coconut oil and a pinch of cayenne). Midday I had a mug of bone broth with a Tbsp of butter melted in it. At night I went right for salt-water with a dash of Chipotle chili pepper powder. I use Morton lite-salt so I can get some Potassium. On the second and third days of the fast I only drank black coffee and my hot salt-water concoction. At the end of the 3-day fast my fingers were getting cold but I had lost 7 pounds. I broke the fast with a handful of nuts and then a big meal after about 30 minutes. I feasted for 3 days eating 2 meals a day within a 6-hour window for an 18-hour intermittent fast. I know I overate a couple times with plenty of butter and macadamia nuts for lots of fat—lots. I was poaching burgers in butter, eating rib eye steaks, fried fish with keto breading, and an entire jar of tartar sauce. Still, I didn't gain an ounce in the 3 days that I feasted. Yesterday was my first day back to fasting. I started the day with keto coffee again, and my salt-water concoction with 1 tbsp of butter, and a couple more of those without the butter later in the day. This morning I had lost another 3 pounds. So, that's 10 pounds in 7 days—the most weight I've ever lost in a week. Ever. Also, last night my blood sugar was the lowest I've ever recorded it at 66. The first day of fasting is challenging, even the second time around. Last night I was dreaming of fast food. But, I got over it, and it was smooth sailing again here on Day 2. This pattern seems to really be working for me and I plan to continue on this path until it stops working. Thanks for the great advice. You guys are awesome.

Does eating a small amount of food in the middle of an extended fast impact my insulin levels and fasting efforts? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I love The Complete Guide to Fasting and have learned so much from it and your Fasting Talk podcast. I have a question for you guys. I started my fast on Thursday at 7:30pm and went until 11:30pm Saturday temporarily breaking the fast with 1 Tbs of natural peanut butter and a few bites of brussels sprouts. Then I decided to fast all day Sunday throughTuesday at 7:30 PM. All in all, it was a total of five days with that little bit of food. What if anything did that food break do to my insulin levels and fasting efforts? I have three small children and can’t check my insulin levels, so any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated. All the best, Brieanne 2. Can someone with bulimia or binge eating disorder engage in fasting? Would this be beneficial or detrimental towards their efforts of overcoming it? Dear Jimmy and Megan, I have read your book on fasting and it was so full of great knowledge that I am grateful for. I am currently breastfeeding, so I am not fasting right now. But I am looking forward to start fasting soon. In your book I took notice of how people with eating disorders, specifically anorexia, shouldn't be fasting and this makes a lot sense. But what about people who have bulimia and binge eating disorder? Should they also steer clear of fasting? Are there any physical or hormonal benefits to be gained for someone like this to start fasting or will this simply perpetuate the binging behavior. Thanks for this podcast and for your amazing work! Teresa JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 3. Is Diurnal Fasting with no food or beverages during daylight hours a viable option for fasting? Can you guys talk about the health effects of what is known as Diurnal Fasting where you engage in complete abstinence from food and beverages during daylight hours? Is this a good way to fast and are there any potential downfalls to doing it this way as compared to what you teach in the IDM clinic? Thank you, Catherine 4. How will I know when I am fat-adapted enough to push my fasting periods beyond intermittent fasting? I have been doing some form of LCHF/keto since August 2016 and have lost 30 pounds. I've been following the mantra to only eat when I’m hungry which is how I started unintentionally intermittent fasting. Most days I end up doing 18:6 but just can't get past 20 hours. I hear people say to get fully fat-adapted before trying longer fasting, so how will I know when I am there?

Brito Pateguana, ND I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, but I am also a Naturopathic Doctor. This means that I look at patients, and health, from a holistic point of view. I don't see organs, I don't see illnesses, I see people. ​I graduated from The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (www.ccnm.edu) in 2004. I have a Degree in Honours Biology from McMaster University (2000). My interest has always been how to heal the human body. In search for my own wellness I discovered Naturopathic Medicine. We believe in the Healing Power of Nature; the body's ability to heal thyself. Our first and foremost Principle is "To Do No Harm", and I try to follow this to the best of my capacity at all times. With a strong science-based approach, CCNM's 4 year program includes TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Nutrition, Counselling, and all the other Medical Sciences.  My focus has always been on Nutrition. Mostly, I use FOOD as my medicine! KEY QUOTE: “Most people can master fasting, it's the diet they have trouble with. Fasting and starving are not the same thing. When it's time to eat, EAT.” – Nadia C. Brito Pateguana, ND Here’s what Jimmy, Megan, and Dr. Pateguana talked about in Episode 13: FEEDBACK FROM A LISTENER: Hello Jimmy and Megan, I think I know why people say that women cannot fast. I used to be a woman who struggled with fasting but it was because I was making one major mistake that is more common among women and less common among men. Women are much more likely to under-eat by a significant amount of calories, then they overtrain in their workouts, and on top of that try to incorporate fasting into their health strategy. When you under-eat and also fast, the body thinks you are starving and I have heard Dr. Fung speak about this inducing starvation mode. Would you please underscore to your female listeners in particular that if you eat an adequate number of calories when you are feeding that fasting is not only fine but it can actually help to reset your circadian rhythm and other bodily functions? It has helped my body balance my hormones in a way that even nutritional ketosis could not on its own. I would love to start a women's fasting group on Facebook and I hope I can invite you all to join. Thanks again for this great podcast.

I just finished a 24-day water and black coffee fast and ended my goal of 30 days because of extreme nausea. By Day 8, I started to drag a bit and so I began drinking some homemade bone broth. But then I became nauseous from drinking the broth a couple of days later and ditched that. A few days after that the coffee I was drinking made me nauseous, too. By Day 15, I was only drinking water and pushed my way to Day 24 before ending it. Why did I have such extreme nausea while fasting? Thank you for helping me with this!

Does fasting make the symptoms of the autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s better or worse? Hi Jimmy and Megan, From what I read about fasting, it seems to be a potential therapy for autoimmune conditions. But thyroid specialist and neurologist Dr. Datis Kharrazian says that one of the 10 mistakes that Hashimoto’s patients make is the following: “When blood sugar gets too low it raises the inflammatory messenger IL-6 and promotes autoimmune flare-ups. Symptoms of low blood sugar are most noticeable between meals or if you skip meals and include shakiness, blurred vision, crankiness and irritability, and loss of function. If you feel a jump in your function and energy after eating it confirms your blood sugar was low—when your blood sugar is stable the only thing you should feel after eating is not hungry. Constantly skipping breakfast and missing meals will aggravate your autoimmune response and promote autoimmune flare-ups.” I know Dr. Fung has said there is no impact to the thyroid when fasting. But do we know what impact fasting has on Hashimoto’s? It seems the autoimmune disease is made worse by fasting, not better. I am under the care of a functional medicine doctor and have adopted all of his proposed lifestyle changes to heal my Hashimoto’s. I tried a two-day fast and saw ketones rise to 7.7 mmol and blood glucose drop to 58 before I broke the fast. It was a water-only fast with sea salt and occasional bone broth. Two days later, I didn’t feel great and developed a sore throat with excessive sleeping. Did I have a flare up of my Hashimoto’s from fasting? Thanks, Maria 3. Does fasting lead to the development of the “keto rash?” Hi Jimmy and Megan, I have been in nutritional ketosis for over two years and have successfully trained for and ran in two marathons over the past year in a fasted state. I have read The Complete Guide To Fasting and have undertaken my first extended fast which lasted four days. During the fast I had a recurrence of what appears to be a so-called “keto rash” which I have had on and off since I've been eating ketogenic. I am wondering if Dr. Fung has seen this in his fasting and ketogenic patients and what could be causing this. Is this something to be concerned about when fasting?

What is the shortest fasting time for getting the autophagic benefits of fasting and do adding in nutrients negatively impact autophagy? Hey guys, I was afraid of dealing with hunger and stressful work situations at the same time if I fasted. But hearing Jimmy talk about drinking kombucha and bone broth during his fast was my "aha" moment! And I have now lost 14 pounds in 6 days doing intermittent fasting for 24 hour while enjoying coffee with cream and Perrier eating only one low-carb meal a day. But I am interested in getting the benefits of autophagy with my fasting. So I have a few questions about this: 1) What's the shortest fasting window to still trigger significant autophagy? 2) Do MCT oil, small amounts of heavy cream, coffee, bone both or sparkling water negatively impact autophagy? Thanks guys! Melodie 5. Is it advisable for someone who is not overweight to engage in a fast? Hi Jimmy and Megan, Fasting seems to be most helpful for obesity and diabetes control. But there are so many other benefits of fasting that are extremely crucial for all of us, not just those with weight and blood sugar issues. I am in the minority and feel like a minority because I am not overweight and I have pretty much have been the same weight forever. What kind of fasting if any would be advised for someone like me who is not dealing with excess weight but would like to get the other benefits of fasting such us immune system reset? It seems to me our ancestors, who were not overweight, were fasting without any major negative impact on their health. Is fasting just for overweight people? Thank you for all you do, Maria KEY QUOTE: “When you're losing fat from fasting, it's not that you've reduced calories, it's the fact that you've reduced insulin and the fat can be released.” – Jimmy Moore 6. Isn’t the half-pound of body fat you lose daily while fasting simply “calories out?” Hey Jimmy and Megan, Dr. Fung has thoroughly debunked the calories in, calories out model numerous times. But when he talks about the two compartment model, he notes that the fact that a pound of fat contains about 3500 calories of energy. So while fasting you can lose about half a pound of body fat a day. So my question to you is this: Wouldn’t that be considered "calories out?” If so, then is the “calories out” equation different from the “calories in” one?

Hey guys, I greatly enjoyed reading The Complete Guide to Fasting and I love this new podcast. My question for you guys is regarding the use of fiber while fasting. What is your opinion about taking fiber-based supplement powders that are devoid of any sugar or artificial sweeteners? I typically take a combination of different kinds of fibers like inulin, acacia, glucomannan, psyllium, and flax. I did not see this addressed in your book.

WORLD’S 1ST REUSABLE BREATH KETONE ANALYZER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship Here’s what Jimmy, Megan, and Angel talked about in Episode 12: - How can I maintain the lower blood pressure numbers from extended fasting when the fast is over?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   Fasting topics almost always focus on obesity and diabetes.  I'd like to hear you guys discuss how you can lower blood pressure with extended fasting. I've done four extended supervised water fasts and each time I've been able to get great blood pressure numbers without the need for medication. Unfortunately, over time, my high blood pressure comes back probably because I haven't cleaned up my diet. I would love to hear more about how to keep the numbers down.   Thanks,   Erik   Fasting could prevent aging and transform your body, but it goes against everything we think of as healthy GIVE YOUR ELECTROLYTES A SUGAR-FREE BOOST USE COUPON CODE “LLVLC” FOR $10 OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   HOT TOPIC:  Extended Fasting Is Dangerous For Your Health   1. How can I do longer fasts when i have to cook for my family of five on a nightly basis?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   I love this new podcast! The longest I have ever gone during a fast is 24 hours, but I would like to go longer in fasting. I have PCOS, insulin resistance, and fibromyalgia. My problem is I have a family of 5 and I cook for them most evenings and this can trigger me to want to eat.  As you can probably guess, my family eats a clean version of the SAD diet and I am the only one who eats keto in the house.  How do I make a longer fast work in this context?  Would meal prepping ahead of time help in these situations? I would like to fast for 36 hours and then try to do longer fasts.   Thank you for your insights,   Georgette   2. Can fasting help with the exhaustion phase of adrenal fatigue? Is IF or extended fasting better for dealing with this?   Can you please explain how fasting can help with adrenal fatigue?  keep reading conflicting information on this subject and I am unsure whether fasting is right for me. I am currently in the "exhaustion" phase of adrenal fatigue, so my question for you is whether I need to get the adrenal fatigue under control first before fasting or will fasting help me with this condition? And what kind of fast would you recommend? Is intermittent or extended fasting better for dealing with the exhaustion phase of adrenal fatigue?   Thanks in advance,   Kylee GET A $39 BOTTLE OF OLIVE OIL FOR JUST A BUCK GET YOUR $39 BOTTLE FOR JUST $1 NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   3. Would drinking aloe vera juice on a fasting day break my fast?   Hello Jimmy and Megan,   Thank you so much for creating Fasting Talk. I have read your book The Complete Guide to Fasting and started alternate day fasting. So far, I’ve seen some great benefits doing this, including feeling fantastic, a sharp mind and focus while working, and weight loss. I have one question for you about fasting days—can I drink my aloe vera juice in the morning while fasting? Would this break the fasting period?   Thanks for your help,   Kishore   4. Is it okay to still chew nicotine gum while fasting?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   I got your fasting book and have been doing a 16:8 fast on a regular basis. This might be a strange question, but can I chew nicotine gum when I am fasting?   Much regards,   David   5. How do you prevent the loss of electrolytes and minerals when you are extended fasting?   Hi Jimmy,   I keep hearing you talking about fasting, fasting, fasting all the time. But if you fast with zero food for 7 days, for example, how do you not lose electrolytes and minerals? Don’t you need to drink more than just water to keep from becoming sick? I am a little confused about all this.   Thanks for your help,   Victoria JIMMY AND DR.

GIVE YOUR ELECTROLYTES A SUGAR-FREE BOOST USE COUPON CODE “LLVLC” FOR $10 OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   SPECIAL GUEST PATIENT: Angel Ramos (aka Mr. Megan Ramos!) I grew up in Orlando and ate a typical diet throughout the first 25 years of my life. I did cut out soda/pop in my teens and noticed that I lost some weight without any change to my physical activity but I was still overweight with a poor body composition. I stayed up late, ate crap junk food and drank in university and grad school. My weight peaked while on holiday in Germany as a graduation trip, 235 pounds at 6'2". I noticed new stretch marks, a marked drop in my energy levels and my clothes were tight! I was starting to get concerned about my future health and what could happen given my family medical history of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, and Alzheimer's. I'm a scientist and I enjoy researching, so I went to work. With the limited nutritional knowledge I had and novice workout experience, I started reading various sources online. There are some great fitness subreddits that really helped me to understand what I needed to do. I started tracking my calories, lowered my fat intake, upped the protein and began a weight training and cardio regiment. After about 9 months of exercise and diet, my weight was about 220 pounds and I was significantly stronger in the gym, but I still had plenty of fat. This is where my story changes, I met Megan Christie (Ramos). After we had been dating for a few months, treating every trip to see each other as a vacation and eating junk, Megan explained the IDM program to me in detail and I was blown away. I began to see that by eating tons of processed/refined carbohydrates, I was only hurting myself. I also began fasting when I started eating an LCHF diet. Our cavemen ancestors certainly didn't get lucky and have a feast every day, so why do I need 3 square meals a day. I started out doing 24-hour fasts from dinner to dinner and was quickly surprised that it was much easier than I thought. After about a week, my body wasn't angry at me if at 1 pm I haven't eaten anything. I began to see weight fall off over the course of a few months. I had to buy almost an entirely new wardrobe because none of my clothes fit. I'm proud to say that I've lost 70 pounds and now weigh about 165 pounds.

Can anyone doing an intermittent or alternate day fast enjoy a glass or two of wine? Hello Jimmy and Megan, I watched Dr. Jason Fung's fantastic presentation to colleagues on YouTube where he shared about a patient who managed to still enjoy a couple glasses of wine while fasting and had amazing success. I love the idea of flexibility while fasting, but at what point does a patient impede or derail their success with something like a glass or two of wine? Was he the exception or is wine with dinner allowed to be incorporated into a successful intermittent fasting or alternate daily fasting program if you track the carbs in them? Thank you for this show, I am really enjoying it! Maryann KEY QUOTE: “Take a little bit of fat for the first few days of a fast. The extra fat takes extra energy to burn and warms you up.” – Megan Ramos 2. How do I deal with cold extremities that come when I start extended fasting? Hey guys, I’m a 68-year old woman who has had a total hysterectomy, had my gallbladder removed in my early twenties, and am hypothyroid taking Synthroid. I do quite well fasting from 4-6 days. My question is what happens to me beginning on the first day of an extended fast—my hands and feet become extremely cold. It can't be from a lack of salt because this starts to happen right away in Day 1 of fasting. I tried consuming some homemade bone broth with salt, but it hasn’t helped. Any help would be appreciated, Ruth 3. Is there any reason not to fast if you are attempting to get pregnant? Hey guys! Love The Complete Guide To Fasting and the Fasting Talk podcast. I've been doing 24-hour fasts, four days a week for weight loss. I've lost 10 pounds and have about 10 more to go. My boyfriend and I are trying to get pregnant and I was wondering if engaging in fasting while trying to get pregnant is safe. Thanks for your insights! Amanda JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS   4. How do you control the increase in cortisol that comes from fasting from being a detriment to weight loss?

I run-bike-swim several miles a week. I plan on fasting on Mondays and Thursdays (for 36 hours) and wonder if I will have the energy I need to get through the workouts? Alan AND Love your new podcast. My question is about fasting and exercise. I currently practice intermittent fasting but wanted to try an extended fast. I lift weights four days a week and cycle around 80 miles as well. I wanted to know what effect fasting would have on my performance and weight loss/muscle gain? Would long lasting fasts be effective for someone like me?

I tried doing a 24-hour fast on my own and came to the realization I needed support. I’m back to doing 16:8 IF every day, but definitely needed help with doing longer fasts. When I am eating, it’s ketogenic. I can’t begin to tell you how excited, thrilled, and optimistic I feel about working with IDM. Just knowing there is a solution to my weight problem makes me feel like I have finally found my Holy Grail because NOTHING has worked for me. Even eating low-carb, high-fat was not enough to get me into fat-burning mode. I actually needed to get and keep my insulin low for a longer period of time than 12 hours, which is what I had not been doing. All of us who have struggled with our weight and health issues and have done numerous programs that have failed us, who have lived with despair and suffered with this horrible affliction, know how painful this all is.

Are there special fasting considerations for people with hypothyroidism? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I've read a lot about how fasting affects various health issues, but I haven't seen anything on thyroid disease, specifically hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s). Do you have clients in the IDM program with this and is there anything different you do with them? Thanks so much!

Is it necessary to eat low-carb, high-fat on non-fasting days to maintain the benefits of alternate day fasting? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I have lost weight successfully using alternate day fasting. I am 5'10" tall and currently weight 163 with a BMI of 23.4 and a 34" waist. On my fasting days, I eat from 0-500 calories and I eat LCHF on my non-fasting days. So what would happen if I did not eat LCHF on my non-fasting days? Would I still see results just at a slower pace or would that negate the benefits I am seeing? Thanks! Tommy 3. If you only eat one meal a day for a 24-hour fast, how do you get adequate calories to prevent metabolic slowdown? Hey Jimmy and Megan, Okay, now I am confused. On a recent episode of Fasting Talk, I heard Megan says it is detrimental to your health to not get enough calories in on your feeding days. She noted that patients who only eat 500-800 calories a day are the hardest ones to help because their metabolism has been slowed down for so long. But then in last week’s episode from Low Carb Breckenridge with Dr. Fung answering questions, he said it’s okay to eat one meal a day when you intermittent fast and that he doesn’t really care about how many calories you get in that meal. There’s no way I could get over 1,000 calories in one meal. So if you are doing this six days a week then aren’t you getting to that place where Megan says it is detrimental with the low calorie intake? Please help me with this. Leota 4. Do I need to do extended fasting to help reduce eczema symptoms or can keto/IF give me relief from this? Hello Jimmy and Megan, Thank you so much for the information you are providing the public. You make my job as a Mind-Body Nutrition Coach easier, knowing I am providing quality, relevant information for myself and my clients. My question for you guys is about eczema. From what I’ve read, it seems fasting is beneficial, but more so for doing an extended fast of more than three days. I'm not sure I want to fast for that long since I don't have any weight to lose. I'm 5'3", 123 pounds, 52 years old and very active with trail running 2x/week, Crossfit 2x/week and ballroom dancing 2-3 times per week. Would shorter or intermittent fasting reduce the eczema symptoms or do I need to suck it up and do an extended fast of a few days to get the most benefits? Or would a ketogenic diet alone help with this? Thank you for all you do! Phyllis JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 5. Are there any differences in the fasting experience consuming water vs. dry fasting? Hello Jimmy and Megan, I've read your book on fasting and love this podcast. I have been doing 7-day fasts and intermittent fasts on a regular basis. While reading your book, I saw that fasting is a practice followed by numerous religious traditions. But one element of several of these traditions, such as Ramadan, that I did not see mentioned in your book or discussed on your show is the impact of not drinking anything during the daytime of these religious fasting periods. Fasting means abstaining from food and drink from dawn to dusk. All the discussions of fasting assumes you are consuming water. But what about these dry fasts during the daytime? Is this something different about fasting with liquids vs. fasting without them?

You recently answered a question of mine about whether I could fast for three days on and three days off to get the autophagic results of an extended fast. I was concerned because I didn't think I could do an extended fast because of my very physical job. Well, long story short, I completed a 26-day fast running solely on water, green tea, and KetoAide (which is a blend of water, light salt for sodium and potassium, and magnesium citrate). I felt fine, had plenty of energy, needed very little sleep, watched some scary stuff come out of my body, dropped 30 pounds, and kept off 18 of it since ending the fast. I could have physically continued to fast, but it was somewhat mentally taxing more than physically—and I just lost the will to continue it. So I broke the fast with a handful of black olives and almonds and then had a nice three egg veggie omelet an hour later. Pure bliss! Thanks again for all you guys do! Happy Fasting! Gary HOT TOPIC: Does fasting raise or lower your cholesterol numbers? Hey Jimmy and Megan, Here’s a hot topic idea for your Fasting Talk podcast. How exactly does fasting impacts your cholesterol? I’ve heard you say how it lowered your cholesterol, but my doctor said fasting would raise mine. And he was right. I had my blood lipids drawn after a 5-day water-only fast as prescribed in The Complete Guide To Fasting and my numbers were wrecked as you’ll see in my results below. I was ketogenic in the before starting fasting, so this is a shock. I would love to hearing a discussion about this on your podcast. Maybe it only works for people with already high cholesterol levels? Here are my numbers after fasting compared with keto: Total cholesterol 255 -- previously 197 Triglycerides 169 -- previously 84 HDL 41 -- previously 69 LDL 180 -- previously 121 Any thoughts? Brady JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 1. Is the fat-burning from a water fast equivalent to the fat-burning from being in a state of ketosis? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I have water fasted for 21 days and many shorter ones for spiritual reasons. I know what it's like to have zero hunger after 3 days of no food. I have plenty of energy to walk and lift light things, but I’m not ready for eight hours of hard labor during a water fast. When I’m in nutritional ketosis, I also have no hunger but I’m able to do heavy lifting and do a full eight hours of hard labor work without trouble. I'm guessing the body fat burns better when we eat fat and protein on eating days than when we water fast. But we have plenty of stored body fat to fuel us when we fast. So my question is this: why can't I do my normal routine that includes a very physically demanding job on just a water fast and have the same amount of energy as I experience in nutritional ketosis? It seems they are accomplishing the same thing and should work equally. What say you? Steve 2. Does the autophagy that fasting produces cause any pain? And can that process prevent weight loss? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I’m currently in Day 7 of my fast and for the past three days my lower body, including my calves, quads, glutes, hips, and lower back, has been so sore that it has prevented me from getting adequate sleep. Full disclosure, these areas in particular are stressed in my daily life already. But fasting seems to make it worse. Could this pain be associated with the autophagy that is happening while I’m fasting? Could this be why I haven’t lost any weight during my fast? I’m consuming clear homemade vegetable broth made from carrots, onions, parsley, and celery over the past couple of days, so maybe there in an insulin response to consuming this. This has been a disaster for me and I’d love to hear your perspective on what might be going on. Thanks for considering my questions for your show.

What about medications? Hey guys, I have a few nagging questions about fasting I’m hoping you can help me with. So what is someone with gastritis supposed to do with fasting when having an empty stomach with this condition is quite painful? Does fasting help heal the stomach? And what about medications that require food to be taken? How do you do that when you’re fasting? Ginny 4. Is there anything different that needs to be done while fasting with adrenal issues? Hello Jimmy and Megan, My question is simple. Are there any special considerations that people with adrenal issues should be aware of when fasting? Thanks so much.

Can a gastric sleeve making longer fasting contraindicative? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I had a gastric sleeve put on three years ago and I have been LCHF off and on for most of that time shifting to keto three months ago. I have been playing around with intermittent fasting since 2015 but decided to give an extended fast a go in 2017. My goal was to fast for as long as I could, but by Day 4 I started to feel nauseous and threw up after taking my salt in the morning. By Day 5 it got worse and I broke the fast. I actually felt so horrible that I called my doctor who recommended taking pain medications and rest. My blood pressure got very high during the fast and I felt so uncomfortable from this experience. Within a few days I felt better and was back to normal again. I don’t know why I reacted so badly, but was wondering if my gastric sleeve was the reason why my extended fasting attempt was an abysmal failure. Have you seen any patients in my situation who have had a similar experience? I really want to do extended fasts to experience the benefits that come from doing it. Thanks for you help!

After reaching a weight of over 470 pounds and dealing with joint pain, heel spurs, sleep apnea and full blown diabetes requiring multiple injections daily. Mark was slowly dying, and he knew he needed help. Mark's mother sent him The Obesity Code in September 2016 and warned him that it might be considered controversial, but after reading it, he felt that the message was what he had been missing. In the short four month span since starting fasting and eating keto Mark has lost 100 pounds! More than the weight loss, in this short amount of time Mark has been able to remove the diabetes medicine and he believes that fasting has saved his life. His health markers are continually improving and he now enjoys more energy, mental clarity and better sleep.

How do I convince friends and family that fasting isn’t an eating disorder? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I love the Fasting Talk podcast. I have been keto for over two years losing 70 pounds with stellar blood work and I have dabbled in 24-hour fasts. But I have reservations about trying a 3-day fast. My biggest concern is about the social backlash I think I’ll experience. I have never had an eating disorder but my family and friends cannot (even after all this time) fathom that I’m cutting sugar and grains out of my diet—much less doing a fast! They were so resistant to my ketogenic lifestyle describing it as an eating disorder that the thought of fasting around them intimidates me.  What do you suggest? Thanks so much! Karen KEY QUOTE: “If you have trouble sleeping, get up and do something productive. Your body will adjust and reset.” – Megan Ramos   2. Do your senses become more heightened by Day 4 of an extended fast and why? I've noticed that when I fast for more than 3 days, my senses seem to become more heightened. Is there any explanation for this or similar experiences reported by other people who are fasting? Thank you and keep up the fantastic work! Clyde 3. Is adding fat such as MCT oil to my tea going to stoke an insulin response during my fast? I'm trying to use an eating plan Megan posted where she broke her fast with bone broth, salad with little or no protein, and green tea for lunch and then a small serving of meat with cooked non-starchy vegetables for dinner. My question stems from something Dr. Fung said about fat. Will having tea with MCT oil in the morning mess up my fast and produce an insulin response? I’m asking because obviously I don’t need insulin to not be released when I’m not eating. Appreciate your response! Jerilyn 4. How can you lower the tension that comes from fasting? Hey guys, I’ve read The Complete Guide To Fasting and have watched a lot of Dr. Fung’s videos. I feel an increased amount of tension when I’m trying to fast that it depletes me of my willpower so much that I give up on it. I’ve suffered from varying degrees of clinical anxiety most of my life and being in ketosis is the closest to calm I’ve ever felt. I know that fasting would be extremely useful for controlling my weight and my anxiety, but I’m guessing the rise in adrenaline and cortisol are what make me feel so tense. Do you have any tricks for alleviating this feeling? I really want to keep fasting. Thank you, Elaine KEY QUOTE: “The more you fast, you'll build up that fasting muscle a little bit more each time.” –  Jimmy Moore JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 5. Does extended fasting lead to insomnia? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I'm on a 7-day fast (currently on Day 5) and I've found that over the last 3 nights I've had trouble sleeping. Is insomnia a common thing during fasting? If so, does it fade over time or the more you fast? I hope to move into an intermittent fasting protocol for long-term use and don't want to spend a couple of days per week with insomnia. I’m not having any withdrawals from caffeine or anything else that would be keeping me awake. And I’ve been in a state of ketosis for over six months, so I’m already in fat-burning mode. My blood ketones were 3.8 mmol/L and blood glucose was 3.4 mmol/L (61 mg/dL) this afternoon and I feel great during the day without cravings or hunger pangs.

KEY QUOTE: “Keep busy and schedule things that you like to do during meal times to take your mind off of eating.” – Megan Ramos 1. Is eating 500-1000 calories on days I intermittent fast going to lower my basal metabolic rate? I find that when I intermittent fast for at least 18-24 hours, I usually only eat 500-1000 calories on those days. I eat about 46 grams of protein between one or two meals and less than 25 grams of carbs all from green leafy vegetables. The rest of my calories come from fat like butter, MCT oil, coconut oil, rendered bacon fat and olive oil. I only eat clean and avoid nuts, nut flour, artificial sweeteners, and all processed foods, and only eat 100% grass-fed and pastured meats, poultry, pork and eggs and wild fish. My blood glucose is excellent and I test my blood ketones regularly with readings always between 1.0-2.0 mmol. Should I add more of something (probably fat) to bring up my calories on days I intermittent fast so as not to lower my basal metabolic rate? Is it a problem to only get 500-1000 on these days I do IF? I'm just not that hungry but could eat more if I had to. Thank you in advance for your help and thank you for all you guys do everyday!

Should I be concerned about developing gallstones while intermittent fasting? I'm one of the genetically unlucky people whose blood sugar spikes on anything—even eating low-carb. I've lived a low-carb, gluten-free, sugar-free, Paleo, Specific Carbohydrate, and GAPS diet for many years but still have consistently high fasting sugars (6.5-7 mmol or 115-125 mg/dL) and am so insulin resistant with abdominal obesity rearing its ugly head. I've been a Jimmy Moore fan for ages but recently found Dr. Fung’s work and love what he’s doing because it makes so much sense. I'm now eating within a 9-hour window but have in the past had acute gallstones on very low-calorie, rapid weight loss plans. Needless to say, I’m nervous about doing this or going longer in my fasting because of these fears. My health takes a big dive if I go to extremes like fasting with my thyroid issues (Hashimoto’s) and liver problems (extreme Gilbert's disease). Are people like me just not suited for fasting? And if fasting is helpful for me, then what would you recommend to avoid these gallstone problems? Thanks for helping me with this issue! Jayne KEY QUOTE: “Fasting is not a fad diet with lots of rules to follow. It's simple, just don't eat.” – Jimmy Moore 3. Why am I not showing ketone production after four days of fasting? I have been fasting for 96 consecutive hours and my Ketonix breath ketone meter is registering little to no ketones. After 96 hours, I must have depleted the glucose in my system by now. In my mind I have to be producing ketones but it’s not showing up on this meter. What could be going on here? By the way, I’ve lost 39 pounds and 2 inches off my waist since September 15, 2016. I did enjoy three days of holiday eating with my family and fell out of ketosis after the third day. But I’ve been implementing fasting ever since and cannot get the Ketonix to register any ketones. Thanks in advance if you can offer any insights. Dennis 4. How do I deal with the negative side effects that happen to me during an extended fast? I have been on a ketogenic diet since April 2015 and decided to do a water-only fast in December 2016 to calibrate my new Ketonix breath ketone device. A 24-hour water fast is necessary to determine the low border and a 96 hour fast is necessary for the high border of my personal ketosis. I felt so good after four days that I decided to keep it going. Today is Day 6 and I’ve been having some problems since Day 3, including a general feeling of cold, pain in my calves, brain fog, and more. Is this normal? How can I resolve these issues and should I be concerned? Should I be supplementing my extended fast with salt, bone broth, and iodine? I appreciate your answering my questions! Dirk JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 5. Is fasting a better option than the HCG diet to produce weight loss? Is fasting similar do doing the HCG diet? I have done five rounds of it over the past years to lose weight that otherwise just doesn’t come off, but each time the weight came back on faster. And now not only can I not lose weight, I am continuing to gain and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. I suspect HCG slowed my metabolism because of the low-calorie intake putting my body is survival mode holding on to fat. Is this what is happening? After reading The Complete Guide To Fasting, it makes so much sense to me and I’m wondering if fasting would be a better option than the HCG diet. I'm at my heaviest weight ever and I'm very discouraged. Do you think fasting could help me? Please say yes.

Listen in today as Jimmy and Jason answer your questions about all things fasting in Episode 5. JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS Jimmy and Jason respond to Dr. Phinney's concerns about fasting in Episode 5: - Labels fasting as a “fad” saying it will produce major pushback from the health authorities when people start dying suddenly - Getting adequate fluid, potassium, and sodium with an intermittent fast up to 24 hours is benign - After 24 hours of no calorie intake, the body starts breaking down protein from lean tissue - By Day 3 of fasting, the rate of lean tissue loss is equivalent to 3/4 pound per day - The data on extended fasting in THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING is misstated - If someone fasts for three days a week, the amount of lean tissue lost is greater than the amount of lean tissue they can regain in the other four days - Doesn’t believe that my 10-pound lean tissue loss (according to DXA) during my 28 of 31 day fast in January 2016 was water, claims it would take 40 days of eating again to recover this loss (actually a follow-up DXA two weeks later showed all of that 10-pound “lean tissue” loss was back on my body again—so he’s mistaken) - When someone fasts for a prolonged period of time, you’re vulnerable to “refeeding syndrome” (WWII prison camp prisoners suddenly died when they were fed copious amounts of food following extended fasting) - There’s an acute shift in minerals out of the bloodstream into the cells causing an impairment of heart function - The Liquid Protein Diet is used as an example of sudden death from refeeding syndrome that was reported as happening because of ketones…it shut down the science on ketosis for two decades - For some people, a 36-hour fast is fine as long as the other 5 1/2 days of eating have adequate minerals (apparent contradiction of his earlier statement) - We need research that shows long-term, positive, sustainability for people who are fasting to reverse diabetes and reduce body fat that goes 1-2 years - With two-week fasting or longer, the rate of protein breakdown comes down markedly. First day of fasting produces very little protein breakdown, the rate of protein breakdown peaks on the third day of fasting, by two weeks the lean tissue loss is about one-third pound lean tissue loss daily and at 28 days it’s a quarter-pound a day of lean tissue loss (another contradiction of earlier statements) - If you only look at urea, then the lean tissue loss seems to be much less but ammonia, creatinine, and other byproducts all make up the lean tissue loss as well so urea doesn’t give the entire picture. - It’s unethical to write a book telling people to start fasting on their own (and yet we mention to consult with a physician often throughout our book) - I’m not saying fasting is wrong, but we don’t know what the truth is - Getting adequate potassium and magnesium is critically important and you’re not getting these when you are fasting iTunes review:   FREE N=1 TRACKING TOOL AT HEADS UP HEALTH BECOME A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER Sign up by February 6, 2017 for the 9-month program NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 5 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner through the Nutritional Therapy Association at NutritionalTherapy.com – JIMMY AND DR.

Hey guys, I’m 71 years old with a low BMI and no medical or health conditions to deal with. I resistance train twice weekly lifting heavy and have been ketogenic for the past four years.  Every couple of months, I do a water-only fast for about 3 days and have noticed that my blood sugar goes down to the upper 50’s and my blood ketones reach a very high level of 8.0 mmol on the Precision Xtra testing device. Is this a problem? I feel fine so I do not allow it to interrupt my fast. But I can’t help but wonder if the blood ketones can go too high for a non-diabetic perhaps impacting blood pH levels. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you again for your great new podcast. Richard 2. Why do blood sugar levels increase during a fast when no food is consumed? Is it muscle wasting? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I am on Day 3 of a 5-7 day fast, but I seem to be struggling with higher than normal blood glucose levels. I started fasting after a trip when I definitely fell out of ketosis from indulging a bit too much on carbs. On the morning of Day 2, my fasting blood glucose was 80. But by midday, it was up to 110 and only down to 99 by bedtime. When I woke up the next morning, it was still 99 and stayed elevated all day long despite the fact my blood ketones are 2.3 mmol. What’s going on here? Is this muscle-wasting that I need to be concerned about since no food is being consumed? I feel great otherwise and am doing much better than I have on other fasts.  Thanks so much! Robin  3. Should I be concerned about my blood sugar levels going too low while fasting? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I’m on Day 4 of my fast and my blood sugar has been reading very low the entire time. It’s been below 70 since Day 1 and I registered 45 this morning. I had a serving of kombucha and two hours laterthat brought my blood sugar back up to 60. All I’ve been consuming is water, black coffee, and tea along with bone broth to get through the hard days. Interestingly, despite the very low blood glucose levels, I have physically and mentally felt the best I have since I began this fast. Can you shed some light about what’s happening and whether I should be concerned about this super-low blood sugar while fasting? Thank you,  Jennifer 4. How is it possible I haven’t lost a single pound while fasting for eight days? Hey guys, One of my goals is to do a 21-day fast and I’m currently in Day 8 of my extended fast. I drink homemade bone broth when I need it and a Bulletproof Coffee if I really need something—typically when my hands and feet feel like ice. I’ve been eating keto for over a year and typically intermittent fast daily. I workout hard in the gym virtually everyday and have done a 6-day fast and a 10-day fast previously. On the 10-day fast, I lost a lot of weight and gained it all back while on the 6-day fast, I lost some and gained it back too—but I felt amazing! On my current fast, I haven’t lost a single pound! So what’s going on with my weight? How is it possible I haven’t lost a single pound when all I’ve consumed is Ketoaide and 1 cup of Bulletproof Coffee? I’m athletic and rather muscular for a female and workout hard to help manage my multiple sclerosis. Can you explain what’s going on because I’m sure I’m not the only one dealing with this issue.  Thanks for your time reading this! Dawn 5. Does consuming a small amount of calories (300 daily) slow down fat metabolism while fasting? I have a quick question for you guys: After I have 2 tablespoons of MCT oil, 2 cups of bone broth, and a tablespoon or two of heavy cream to my coffee during my fasting days, I am up to 300 calories.  Does this little bit of caloric intake slow down the burning of body fat for fuel?  Thanks for your help answering this question.

GET YOUR COPY OF THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING Here’s what Jimmy and Megan talked about in Episode 2: - HOT TOPIC to discuss: What Are The Primary Benefits Of Fasting? 1. Will intermittent fasting with less than 1,000 calories send my body into starvation mode? And will unsweetened coconut milk in my coffee technically break the fast? I’ve been doing some intermittent fasting, mainly by skipping breakfast on weekdays, for the past couple of months. My concern, however, is that when I intermittent fast, and also eat no starches, I'm worried that this is similar to a crash diet, because I'm often eating maybe 800-900 calories a day because it's all vegetables and proteins. But eating these things make me full after dinner. I'm 37 years old and and only 5'2" tall and I have maybe 20 pounds more I want to lose. I've spent years being told by experts warning me about not getting starvation mode. How do I know I'm not negatively affecting my metabolism by doing this fasting? By the way, when I do eat breakfast, I'm hungry all day, even when it's just a protein shake. My second question after the metabolism concern is that although I skip breakfast, I do have a small cup of coffee with unsweetened coconut milk in it. Is this technically preventing me from getting the benefits of intermittent fasting or is that ok? Thanks! Tara 2. What’s the best strategy for breaking an extended fast to avoid problems? Hey guys, I definitely appreciate all your work on The Complete Guide To Fasting. I have done intermittent fasting in the past but I'm concerned about coming off of my two to three day extended fast. Other than using a small snack before a meal coming off too fast, are there any other issues that I should be aware of? Thanks again for this awesome book and podcast. James 3. What can I do about diarrhea when I attempt an extended fast? What’s causing this to happen? I've been very interested in doing an extended fast, but at approximately the 72-hour mark I get frequent diarrhea. I'm looking for specific information that can help with my situation. This doesn't seem to be a topic many people want to discuss. Will this go away and get better at some point? Is there such a thing as too much water? Is there anything I can do to control it? Working in an office setting, this feels like a disaster waiting to happen and has always stopped me from progressing further in an extended fast. I want to know how other people handle it. Jay 4. Why did my blood sugar levels skyrocket when I engaged in fasting for a few days? Thank you for this new Fasting Talk podcast. I am an avid listener to The Livin’ La Vida Low Carb Show and Keto Talk, so this new show will be added to my regular podcasting playlist. I have been eating low-carb for about a year now and have really seen an improvement in my blood tests. I haven't really tracked blood glucose consistently during the year but it has always been below 100.  Recently I tried a couple of extended fasts (60 and 96 hours) about three weeks apart.  My goal was to get deeper into ketosis as I have not been successful in maintaining ketosis with a carb level of 30 grams per day.  I know it is probably my protein intake keeping me out of ketosis where I am consuming around 150 grams per day. I thought the fasts would help me with this. But after each fast, I measured my blood ketones and blood glucose. Ketones never registered above 1.5 and my blood glucose was 155 to 170.  Have you ever seen this high blood glucose in folks after moderate length fasts like I’ve done? I have no history of diabetes and am a bit concerned about these numbers. Thanks, Dan 5. Can I do a 500-calorie bone broth fast and get all the benefits of fasting? How about adding a prebiotic in almond milk to my fast? Hi guys! Thank you for taking time to help me out with my fasting question. In The Obesity Code, Dr. Fung discusses doing 24 hour fast has no food.  He said coffee with milk is okay. In the 24 hour fast in the book by Dr. Kellyann Petrucci called The Bone Broth Diet, she says 300 to 500 calories per day of bone broth is okay. Dr. David Perlmutter of Grain Brain fame endorsed the book, but he also recommends a water-only 24 hour fast in his books. Is the 500 calorie bone broth diet correct? Would it interfere with ketosis, weight loss, and all the other health benefits that come from fasting? I’m also using a prebiotic in almond milk that totals about 80 calories. Should I skip this on fasting days? Thank you so much for your help with my questions.

GET YOUR COPY OF THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING Here’s what Jimmy, Dr. Fung, and Megan talked about in Episode 1: - Hear each of your new cohosts share their fasting stories and why they decided to start this podcast 1. How do you prevent ghrelin being stimulated which could ostensibly slow your metabolism during a fast? I’m excited about your new podcast all about fasting.  I have a question for you that I haven’t heard addressed anywhere. How do you avoid stimulating ghrelin that will slow your metabolism while fasting? Thanks for your work, Karen 2. Is fasting contraindicated if you have had your gallbladder removed? Hey guys, What about fasting when you have had your gallbladder removed? I've heard this stresses the liver the Whole30 book says fasting is not recommend for people without a gallbladder. I'm curious if that's true or if there is a difference between intermittent and extended fasting. I've tried to find some research about this online but no good answers have come up. I asked my gallbladder doctor about this, he had no options for me either. Any information you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks, Leah 3. Why does the notion that fasting is not good for women continue to linger? Hey Dr. Fung, I’ve heard several prominent health experts like Mark Sisson and others online who say women should probably not fast. I don’t understand why this idea of fasting being detrimental to women is so commonplace because I’ve seen nothing but success using it. I’m 48 years old and a mom of three who has used a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet with regular exercise and yoga to be healthy. But my weight and fasting blood glucose levels had been going up. That’s when fasting changed all of that for me enabling me to lower my weight, reduce my waist size, and lowering my blood sugar, insulin, and A1c levels. Why is there such negativity about fasting for women promoted so heavily especially in the Paleo community? Thanks for your books and great work!
