While most assume leaving traditional practice means seeing fewer patients and making less money, Dr. Lenzkes revealed he was able to pay back all his loans in the first year of his new practice model - demonstrating that patient-centered care can be financially viable while improving doctor satisfaction and patient outcomes.EPISODE SUMMARYDr. Brian Lenzkes shares his journey from a traditional insurance-based medical practice to a direct primary care model, highlighting the fundamental problems in today's healthcare system. In his previous practice, he struggled to provide quality care while seeing 20-22 patients daily, dealing with endless paperwork, and fighting insurance companies. The breaking point came when he realized the system rewarded sicker patients rather than preventing illness. Now practicing direct primary care, he sees 6-10 patients daily, spending quality time with each one and focusing on metabolic health and prevention. The transition required courage and initially meant a pay cut, but resulted in better patient care, improved work-life balance, and professional satisfaction. Dr. Lenzkes explains how direct primary care reduces costs for patients while allowing doctors to practice medicine the way they envisioned. The conversation reveals how the traditional medical system contributes to physician burnout and high suicide rates, while alternative models like direct primary care offer hope for both doctors and patients.NOTABLE QUOTE"If someone gets diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and the doctor hasn't warned them at least 5 times, the doctor is committing malpractice.

While most meditation retreats and spiritual practices promote vegetarian or vegan diets, Rabbi Moffic discovered that a meat-based diet actually enhanced his meditation practice and mental clarity, offering a surprising counterpoint to traditional spiritual dietary wisdom.EPISODE SUMMARYRabbi Evan Moffic shares his transformative journey from struggling with chronic stomach issues and brain fog to finding clarity and improved health through a carnivore diet. As a Reform Rabbi, he navigates the interesting intersection between traditional Jewish dietary laws and modern nutrition. The episode explores how eliminating plant foods helped him write more efficiently, improved his meditation practice, and enhanced his ability to connect with his congregation. Rabbi Moffic discusses the challenges of maintaining his dietary choices while fulfilling religious obligations, particularly during Jewish holidays that traditionally center around bread and wine. He explains how he balances his religious duties with his health needs, using the Jewish principle of pikuach nefesh (preservation of life) to guide his choices. The conversation delves into the psychological benefits of dietary simplification, the historical context of Jewish dietary laws, and how a meat-based diet has positively impacted his spiritual practice and professional life.NOTABLE QUOTE"People generally don't change except out of desperation or inspiration.

While organ meats are often thought of as "detox" organs that store toxins, they actually transform toxins into water-soluble compounds that the body can eliminate. Any excess toxins are stored in fat tissue, not in the organs themselves - making quality organ meats safe and incredibly nutritious.EPISODE SUMMARYCelebrity chef James Barry shares his journey from cooking for stars like Tom Cruise and George Clooney to creating Pluck, an innovative organ meat seasoning. After his daughter's serious illness, Barry wanted to find ways to add more nutrient-dense foods to his family's diet. He combined his culinary expertise with the traditional wisdom of organ meat consumption to develop a seasoning that makes these vital nutrients accessible to everyone. The product contains liver, heart, kidney, spleen and pancreas sourced from New Zealand grass-fed cattle, combined with organic herbs and spices. Barry explains how organ meats are nature's multivitamin, containing essential nutrients often missing from modern diets. The seasoning works through its natural umami flavor to enhance any dish while delivering concentrated organ meat nutrition. Whether sprinkled on eggs, mixed into smoothies, or added to pet food, this versatile product offers an easy way to incorporate organ meat benefits without the typical taste and texture barriers.NOTABLE QUOTE"Organ meats are truly nature's multivitamin. The nutrients that science tells us we need to create life - all of those minerals, vitamins, nutrients are in organ meats.

While most people focus on cholesterol numbers, the real cardiovascular risk comes from hormone imbalances triggering inflammation. The body actually increases cholesterol production during menopause to try to make more hormones - but it's the underlying hormone deficiency, not the cholesterol, that raises heart disease risk.EPISODE SUMMARYDr. Jay Wrigley, a functional medicine physician with 29 years of experience in hormonal biochemistry, shares groundbreaking insights about the connection between hormone balance, metabolic health, and heart disease risk. He explains how the dramatic hormonal changes during menopause can trigger inflammation and increase cardiovascular risk if not properly managed. The episode explores why traditional hormone replacement therapy using synthetic hormones can be problematic, while bioidentical hormones in physiological doses may be protective. Dr. Wrigley emphasizes that metabolic health through proper diet and lifestyle is crucial - especially during hormonal transitions. He challenges conventional wisdom about cholesterol and discusses why common blood tests like TSH may not tell the full story. The conversation provides practical strategies for optimizing hormone balance naturally through stress management, proper nutrition, and metabolic health, potentially helping listeners avoid serious health issues as they age.NOTABLE QUOTE"If you want to increase your quality of life into your seventies or eighties, what's clear is that what's keeping most people from that is rock bottom levels of the hormones we've been talking about."Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

While most physicians receive only two weeks of nutrition education focused mainly on vitamin deficiencies, Dr. Reller's early exposure to nutrition came from her mother's college nutrition background, which helped shape her eventual path toward metabolic health despite traditional medical training.Dr. Kerry Reller, a board-certified family and obesity medicine physician, shares her transition from electrical engineering to medicine and her approach to incorporating metabolic health principles into a traditional insurance-based practice. She explains how she navigates insurance requirements while still providing comprehensive care, including longer appointment times and detailed lab work analysis. The discussion highlights the challenges of working within the traditional medical system while addressing root causes of metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Reller emphasizes the importance of taking time to understand patient habits, from coffee additives to daily routines, that impact metabolic health. She addresses the concerning rise in childhood metabolic issues, sharing personal experiences as both a physician and parent dealing with school nutrition challenges. The conversation explores the barriers preventing more doctors from adopting metabolic health approaches, including limited awareness and medical education focused primarily on medication-based solutions rather than prevention.NOTABLE QUOTE"If I don't take the time to ask these questions, I mean, I probe and I probe.

Two entrepreneurs created a preservative-free, clean meat snack company  -Joburg Meats - that produces traditional South African biltong using only beef, apple cider vinegar, salt, and spices - making it ideal for low-carb and health-conscious consumers.Jon Engleson and Yusef Baumgarten, the founders of Joburg Meats are bringing traditional South African biltong to the American market with a focus on clean ingredients and quality sourcing. Unlike conventional jerky, which is cooked with sugars and preservatives, their biltong is naturally cured for two weeks using only beef, apple cider vinegar, salt, and spices. The meat comes from pasture-raised, grass-fed cattle from South America, where traditional farming practices are still the norm. The conversation takes an interesting turn when Yusef shares his personal experience of losing 10 pounds in one week simply by switching from eating babka (a sweet bread) to biltong for breakfast. The company is expanding their line to include new flavors like Korean BBQ and truffle, plus developing clean versions of traditional salamis without nitrates or preservatives.Did You Know...?One of the founders was originally a tech professional who also practiced as an energy healer and EMT for 15 years. This unexpected background led him to be particularly conscious about creating clean, additive-free products, as he had developed sensitivity to testing food quality through his healing work.NOTABLE QUOTE"You kind of muscle test each product.

This episode features the remarkable story of Mimi Morgan, a 70-year-old woman who overcame multiple severe health conditions through dietary changes. Despite battling rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's disease, and life-threatening infections, Mimi defied medical expectations and regained her health. For decades, Mimi followed trendy low-fat, plant-based diets, which she now believes contributed to her declining health. After being hospitalized multiple times and told she had little hope for recovery, Mimi decided to radically change her approach to food. She adopted a high-fat, low-carb diet, eventually transitioning to a carnivore and then a "lion diet" consisting primarily of animal products.Within months of changing her diet, Mimi began experiencing significant improvements in her symptoms. She was able to wean herself off all medications and regain her mobility and energy. Now at 70, Mimi feels healthier than ever before and is training to walk 500 miles across Spain.Mimi's story highlights the potential impact of nutrition on health and challenges conventional medical wisdom about managing chronic diseases. Her experience suggests that dietary changes may offer hope for some patients facing seemingly intractable health conditions.NOTABLE QUOTE"I'm just continuing training for my 500 mile walk and trying to, you know, share my story and hopefully give people hope, but especially the older ones, you know, the So many are told, I mean, I've heard it a gazillion times, you're over 60, of course this hurts.

Join us as we reconnect with Texas Slim, who's been on a mission across the U.S. and beyond, advocating for regenerative beef and decentralized access to quality food. He shares his eye-opening journey, rooted in his background in agricultural poverty and big tech, and how it led him to expose the alarming rise of food deserts in America.Facing the might of multinational corporations, independent ranchers are struggling against regulatory capture that strips them of their autonomy. We dive into the efforts spearheaded by the Beef Initiative to combat these obstacles and restore food security. Hear from experts like Brooke Miller, a seventh-generation rancher, on the significant progress made in decentralizing our food system despite these challenges. This segment underscores the critical importance of building resilient, community-based food networks and the steps we've taken over the past two years.However, the complexities don't end there. Despite abundant local cattle, much of it is exported while we import foreign beef and pork. Texas Slim sheds light on the paradox created by multinational corporations and government policies, including the troubling shift toward fake proteins and changes in food labeling laws. Learn how the Beef Initiative empowers individuals to make informed choices, fostering stronger connections with local producers. We also spotlight the upcoming Cattleman's Feast in Nashville, a celebration of community and quality beef that underscores our mission to reclaim control over our food sources.==============================LIMITED TIME DISCOUNT OFFER.Get 10% discount on tickets to the Cattleman's Feast Nashville from July 26-27, 2024Use discount code CLEANBEEF for a 10% discount.

Reed Davis, the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, shares his expertise on the underlying causes of health issues and how functional medicine approaches these problems by identifying and then addressing what he terms "metabolic chaos" – the complex interplay of multiple causal factors that contribute to illness.We delve into the limitations of traditional allopathic medicine in addressing root causes, as it often focuses on symptom relief rather than uncovering the true sources of health problems. Davis explains that every symptom has a cause or causal factor, and that functional diagnostic testing plays a crucial role in identifying hidden stressors and dysfunctions that may be contributing to an individual's health issues.One of the key insights shared by Davis is the significance of nutrition in supporting optimal health. He stresses that nutrition is the ultimate medicine and must be tailored to an individual's unique nutritional requirements based on factors such as genetics and oxidative rates. By providing the body with the proper fuel and removing obstacles to healing, functional diagnostic nutrition aims to support the body's innate intelligence and desire to heal.Throughout the podcast, Davis and host Dr. Philip Ovadia explore various aspects of functional diagnostic nutrition, including the role of hormones, immune function, digestion, detoxification, energy production, and the nervous system in overall health. They also discuss the concept of "biochemical individuality" and how it influences dietary needs.This engaging podcast offers listeners a deep dive into the world of functional diagnostic nutrition, providing valuable insights and practical tips for optimizing health and addressing the underlying causes of illness. By understanding the concept of metabolic chaos and the importance of individualized nutrition, listeners can take proactive steps towards achieving optimal wellness.Connect with Reed DavisTwitter: https://twitter.com/FDNtrainingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fdntraining/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FunctionalDiagnosticNutritionWebsite: https://fdntraining.com/drphilipLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/san-diego-natural-health-&-fitness-ctr/ Chances are, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't need to change your life and get healthier.

He suggests these foods contribute to metabolic issues and are a primary health-promoting concern. Dr. Ovadia critiques the recommendations of organizations like the American Heart Association, suggesting that their focus on certain foods, such as those labeled "heart-healthy," which often include vegetable oils, may not promote heart health.  [10:00] Insulin's Dietary Dance Dr. Ovadia highlights the varying insulin responses to different macronutrients.  Carbohydrates elicit the highest insulin response, followed by protein, which induces a smaller response.  Dietary fat triggers minimal insulin response, contrary to the misconception that fats contribute to heart disease.  Understanding these responses underscores the importance of managing insulin levels and minimizing carbohydrate intake for heart health. [27:35] Reevaluating Heart Disease Risk The prevalence of insulin resistance in modern populations has shifted the significance of LDL levels, with insulin resistance now playing a role in interpreting cholesterol-related heart disease risk. Dr. Ovadia underscores the importance of testing fasting insulin levels to assess heart disease risk. Properly addressing insulin resistance is critical to mitigating heart disease risk and preventing the need for surgery. [40:20] Arterial Health Checkup for Heart Disease Risk Dr. Ovadia emphasizes the importance of directly assessing the health of arteries when evaluating heart disease risk.  He suggests examining the blood vessels' condition provides valuable insights into heart health rather than relying solely on traditional risk factors or biomarkers, such as cholesterol levels. [47:00] Beyond Diet: A Holistic Approach to Heart Health Dr. Ovadia stresses the importance of recognizing that diet is not the sole determinant of heart health. Other factors such as stress, sleep quality, environmental toxins, chronic infections, and autoimmune disorders can impact cardiovascular health.  These influences are crucial if dietary improvements do not change coronary calcium scores. [50:30] Statins in Perspective Dr. Ovadia acknowledges situations where statin use may be warranted, such as individuals with insulin resistance and poor-quality cholesterol profiles who are unlikely to address their insulin resistance through other means.  He emphasizes that the benefits of statins may be overestimated.

In this podcast, Peter Ballerstedt, a forage agronomist and ruminant nutritionist, challenges conventional wisdom about animal agriculture's role in human health and sustainable food production. He argues that ruminant animals, like cows, sheep, and goats, are crucial for converting inedible plant material into nutrient-dense food for humans while improving soil health and biodiversity.Ballerstedt explains ruminants' unique digestive process, which allows them to thrive on a forage-only diet. Microorganisms in their rumen break down cellulose, converting it into fatty acids and microbial protein that the animal can absorb and use.He believes current dietary guidelines promoting plant-based diets may be misguided, as populations consuming less than 30% of calories from animal-sourced foods face increased nutrient deficiencies. Animal foods provide essential nutrients in a highly bioavailable form.Ballerstedt argues for increased animal-sourced food consumption across all populations to improve global health and address nutrient deficiencies. While acknowledging environmental concerns, he highlights the benefits of properly managed grazing on soil health, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration.Looking ahead, Ballerstedt sees ruminant animal agriculture as a solution to nourishing a growing population while protecting the planet, envisioning a future where well-nourished individuals collaborate to solve global issues.

They call the diet "Banting" in South Africa, in honor of the man who first proposed the ketogenic diet more than 100 years ago. Chef Jonno Proudfoot helped to popularize not just the term but the diet itself when he swam from Mozambique to Madagascar in the same year he released a Cook Book along with the legendary Tim Noakes. That confluence of circumstances spurred a nationwide movement towards a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle. Proudfoot narrates his story with a dash of history, a pinch of socio-political context, and a sprinkle of media influence. Jonno provides practical tips for those attempting the delicate balance of promoting a healthy lifestyle without commercializing it. It's a conversation rich with tales from the kitchen to the coastline. Shownotes:Website: https://jonnoproudfoot.com/Website: https://realmealrevolution.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonnoproudfoot/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonnoproudfoot=========================================== Chances are, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't need to change your life and get healthier.

Kevin Hines faced this chilling reality when he leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge, only to embrace life fiercely during his fall.
