“Conventional medicine doesn't stand a chance of turning the tide against chronic disease”. When Chris Kresser got sick on a surfing trip to Indonesia he never expected it to catapult him into becoming a leader in the Functional Medicine space but after a decade-long struggle with what became a chronic illness, he learned first hand where health care succeeded—and where it came up short.  After seeking the help of more than 30 healthcare practitioners and, ultimately, having to learn and implement behavioral change on his own with limited support, Chris emerged with his health—and a vision and drive for changing and improving the practice and education of his field. A renowned expert, leading clinician, and top educator in the fields of Functional Medicine and Ancestral Health, Chris has treated thousands of patients with chronic health challenges over the last 15 years. Author of the New York Times-bestselling book “The Paleo Cure”; his latest book is Unconventional Medicine. In this week‘s episode, he shares candidly his own story and experience and how that served as the crucible for the evolution of his approach, from a dedicated root-cause Functional Medicine practitioner to an explorer of what it means to thrive and flourish in the modern world.  Over time, he developed his Adapt Framework, a collaborative model of care, to offer you what he calls “counterpoints” to help you navigate or avoid these pitfalls.  Learn how to identify and work with limiting beliefs and ideas, like “health is simply the absence of symptoms or disease” or “that we, as individuals, are in full control of our health and well-being” or that “the ONLY way to improve health is to address the root-cause” Here are some things you'll discover in this episode: Why you would benefit from a more inclusive and holistic definition of health (the ability to live your dreams).The role of what Chris calls “radical self-care” in a world where it's increasingly difficult to find time for oneself.How to zoom out and look at health as a process we engage in, rather than an outcome.How to understand the ecosystem of health and disease. Turns out our illness, pain, and challenges aren't purely individual.and more… Connect with Chris Kresser here: Website: https://chriskresser.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chriskresserlac Instagram:: https://www.instagram.com/chriskresser/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chris-kresser-l.ac/ Podcast: https://chriskresser.com/category/podcast/ Quick note, I just want to say thank you for listening to this episode.

This week we're joined by Chris Kresser, Founder and CEO of Kresser Institute. In this episode, Chris Kresser and Dr. Carrie Jones dive into nutrient deficiency and talk about vital macronutrients and micronutrients, nutrient testing, RDAs, and more. Chris Kresser is a globally-renowned expert, clinician, and practitioner of integrative and functional medicine. He is the creator of one of the world's most respected natural health sites, ChrisKresser.com, and a New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine. Chris was named one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness by Greatist.com and launched the supplement line Adapt Naturals.

Chris continues to tirelessly share evidence-based insights from reputable sources and renowned health practitioners and coaches through various channels such as his blogs, guides, webcasts, interviews, and his podcast, Revolution Health Radio. Key Takeaways: The perfect diet A healthy diet should meet your nutrient needs. There are two major nutrient categories, macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients). When you break down micronutrients, there are nutrients that we get from animals and nutrients that we get from plant-based foods. Animal nutrients include vitamin B12, iron, zinc, vitamin A, creatine, vitamin D, and high-quality protein. If you're eating an exclusively plant-based diet, that doesn't mean you can't get these nutrients in other ways. But you have to acknowledge that animals are a much better source of these essential vitamins and minerals. On the flip side, vitamin C can almost be exclusively found in plant foods, as well as phytonutrients such as carotenoids, lycopene, betaine, and lutein. The truth about nutrient testing The processing and storage of nutrients vary within the body, thus necessitating a thorough examination of each nutrient separately. Obtaining a bodily fluid or tissue sample such as blood, saliva, or urine is insufficient for determining what nutrients are present. Take calcium, for instance, which is kept within a very narrow range in the blood. Testing calcium levels in the blood may appear favorable, but it may not reflect reality. Therefore, we typically rely on a dietary assessment tool like MyFitnessPal to determine calcium intake. Similarly, iodine can be examined via a twenty-four-hour urine test to assess recent iodine consumption, but it is not indicative of long-term levels. To accurately assess all nutrients, you have to run different tests. Why does today's food have fewer nutrients? Soil quality degradation is a major factor impacting nutrient availability due to the disruption of the soil microbiome, which aids plants in extracting nutrition from the soil. Pesticides, herbicides, and industrial agricultural practices have restricted a plant's ability to obtain nutrients. Chris notes that consuming eight oranges today is equivalent to consuming just one orange for our grandparents in terms of nutritional value. Additionally, the globalization of the food system is also a contributor, as produce is often transported long distances and stored in unfavorable conditions, resulting in significant nutrient loss over time. Unpacking RDAs Recommended Dietary Allowances, or RDAs, are the levels of intake of essential nutrients that meet the known nutrient needs of a healthy person. RDAs were developed during World War II to create nutritious rations for soldiers. They have been updated over time, but the numbers still represent the minimum amount of a nutrient a person needs to avoid a malnutrition-triggered disease. However, RDAs don't take into account several factors that play a huge role in nutrient absorption and status, like gender, age, and health. Another issue with RDAs is that they don't consider bioavailability. When you see the amount of a nutrient listed on a food label, you might assume that you will absorb a hundred percent of that amount, but you would be dramatically wrong. RDAs also don't consider nutrient synergy. There are many cases where the presence of one nutrient helps with the absorption of another one. Magnesium is required for the bio utilization of vitamin D and vice versa. If you are getting enough vitamin D through sun exposure or supplements, but you are magnesium deficient, you will still have low biological activity of vitamin D. Also, check out Chris' recommended lab testing: intracellular magnesium test, iodine test, and blood, urine, and saliva tests for nutritional deficiencies.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and Cozy Earth.If you've ever wondered if supplements are worthwhile or just create expensive urine, this is the podcast episode for you. While I wish it wasn't the case, I do believe we need supplements to make up for the nutrients we can no longer get through food alone. It's extra important to note, though, that not all supplements are created equal. And please keep in mind they're called “supplements” for a reason, not “replacements”—they are meant to supplement a healthy diet and lifestyle to provide the most impact.Today, I'm excited to take a deeper dive into this topic with one of my most trusted sources when it comes to nutrition and dietary research, Chris Kresser.

“Conventional medicine doesn't stand a chance of turning the tide against chronic disease”. When Chris Kresser got sick on a surfing trip to Indonesia he never expected it to catapult him into becoming a leader in the Functional Medicine space but after a decade-long struggle with what became a chronic illness, he learned first hand where health care succeeded—and where it came up short.  After seeking the help of more than 30 healthcare practitioners and, ultimately, having to learn and implement behavioral change on his own with limited support, Chris emerged with his health—and a vision and drive for changing and improving the practice and education of his field. A renowned expert, leading clinician, and top educator in the fields of Functional Medicine and Ancestral Health, Chris has treated thousands of patients with chronic health challenges over the last 15 years. Author of the New York Times-bestselling book “The Paleo Cure”; his latest book is Unconventional Medicine. In this week‘s episode, he shares candidly his own story and experience and how that served as the crucible for the evolution of his approach, from a dedicated root-cause Functional Medicine practitioner to an explorer of what it means to thrive and flourish in the modern world.  Over time, he developed his Adapt Framework, a collaborative model of care, to offer you what he calls “counterpoints” to help you navigate or avoid these pitfalls.  Learn how to identify and work with limiting beliefs and ideas, like “health is simply the absence of symptoms or disease” or “that we, as individuals, are in full control of our health and well-being” or that “the ONLY way to improve health is to address the root-cause” Here are some things you'll discover in this episode: - Why you would benefit from a more inclusive and holistic definition of health (the ability to live your dreams).-The role of what Chris calls “radical self-care” in a world where it's increasingly difficult to find time for oneself.How to zoom out and look at health as a process we engage in, rather than an outcome.How to understand the ecosystem of health and disease. Turns out our illness, pain, and challenges aren't purely individual. and more… Connect with Chris Kresser here: Website: https://chriskresser.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chriskresserlac Instagram:: https://www.instagram.com/chriskresser/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chris-kresser-l.ac/ Podcast: https://chriskresser.com/category/podcast/ Quick note, I just want to say thank you for listening to this episode.

On this very special episode of The Woman's Doctor, we had a conversation with Chris Kresser. Chris is a top expert and educator in Functional Medicine and ancestral health as well as a New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure. Chris is also the founder of The Kresser Institute that has trained over 2,000 functional health practitioners and coaches. There is a lot more we can add to the list of the achievements this man has obtained but we'll keep at those for now.   In this episode, we discuss what led to Chris becoming involved with functional medicine and wellness overall, how we're slowly detaching from our ancestral roots in the area of food and nutrients, how food is gradually losing nutritional value, and much more. Chris is truly an expert on food and essential nutrients so you might want to tune in if you are or are thinking about taking any type of supplements.   Many times, we think that just buying as many supplements off the shelves of our local store can solve our nutrient deficiencies but it is much more complex than that. Chris advises people to take frequent tests to see what nutrients they may be deficient in as well as what nutrients they may be getting too much of. For those who want to take it a step further and really dive deep into this man's mind, be sure to check out his work and products at chriskresser.com!   Key Takeaways: [3:54] How Chris became involved with health and wellness [7:54] Changes in the soil is making food less nutrient-dense [14:47] The importance of Vitamin D [19:10] The importance of Magnesium [28:40] The main three supplements that people should be paying more attention to when consuming     Connect with Chris Kresser: https://chriskresser.com/ https://adaptnaturals.com/password   Memorable Quotes: “Certainly our ancestors weren't taking supplements. They weren't doing anything to augment what they were getting from food but they lived in a different world than we live in today.” “There are many things that impact nutrient availability now that weren't common then. One example is chronic disease… Another issue is changes in soil and nutrient availability in soils.”  “Some studies suggest that in order to get the same nutrition that our grandparents got from eating one orange, we'd have to eat eight oranges today.” “We know that 60% of the calories in the average American diet now come from ultra-processed food… We're talking about flour, sugar, industrial seed oils… people keep filling themselves up with these foods.” “I think for most people at this point, if you're not getting regular sun exposure and you don't live in a place where that's possible year-round, some supplementation or at least strong attention to food levels of vitamin D, and regular testing to make sure you're getting enough is pretty crucial.”  “Magnesium is one of the most potent treatments for migraine because magnesium deficiency is associated with migraines and chronic headaches.” “It's almost like what magnesium deficiency doesn't contribute to because it's involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, so it's just a utility player if you will. It's doing a lot of different things in a lot of different places.” “I think the 3 nutrients that people need to be aware of most would be… calcium, iodine, and iron. These are all of course essential; we need them but each of them in their own way can cause a lot of problems when you get too much.”

Why All Meat Is Not Created Equal | This episode is brought to you by InsideTrackerThere is a lot of controversy around whether meat is good or bad for our health but what if this is the wrong question to be asking? For example, grass-fed beef is extremely different from conventionally raised beef, and people buying grass-fed beef often have many other healthy habits that those buying Big Macs may not. Yet, nutrition research doesn’t take many of these variables into account. This is why when it comes to eating meat, like with all other foods, focusing on quality more than quantity is key to creating good health.In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman talks with Chris Kresser about how the type of meat being eaten is an important focus missing from many big dietary studies and they break down the myths and stigmas around red meat consumption. Dr. Hyman also speaks with Fred Provenza about how the way we eat meat, along with what the animal eats, can make such a difference when it comes to our health.Chris Kresser is the CEO of Kresser Institute for Functional & Evolutionary Medicine, the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine, the creator of ChrisKresser.com, and the New York Times best-selling author of The Paleo Cure. He is known for his in-depth research uncovering myths and misconceptions in modern medicine and providing natural health solutions with proven results.

Through the Institute, he also created and launched the ADAPT Practitioner and Health Coach Training Programs to train health professionals around the world in his unique approach.

Chris was one of the first people who introduced me to functional medicine, and I was excited to sit down with him to learn more about HPA axis dysfunction, especially as it pertains to high achievers and the CrossFit population.  We talked about how stress, both good and bad, can impact the body, strategies to implement for successful behavior change, and how HPA axis dysfunction differs from adrenal fatigue. *Chris's bio adapted from his website.

In episode 031 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Well Being, I explore the world of self experimentation, longevity, intermittent fasting and fasting mimicking diets with citizen scientist Benjamin Richardson.   I recently stumbled across Ben's work and page at Forever Free From during one of my many rabbit hole forays into emerging medical therapies, this time into the world of intermittent fasting and the newly evolving 5 day Fasting Mimicking Diet.   In this conversation, Benjamin and I delve into some of his curious self experiments, implementing major dietary and lifestyle changes, quantifying the results and sharing this wisdom with a wider audience.   We explore questions such as   What is the difference between lifespan vs. healthspan?   What really is behind the aging process and who is at the cutting edge of longevity research?   Benjamin than leads us into a thoughtful discussion of fasting, outline the differences between intermittent fasting, time restricted eating windows and the Fasting Mimicking Diet or FMD.   He shares he own story researching, planning and implementing the 5 day FMD as well as his generous reflections and resources created so that others can try the dietary approach for themselves.   Through it all, Benjamin shares his authentic curiosity and his genuine desire to help others through his own experimentation.   Dietary interventions such the FMD and intermittent fasting are emerging as powerful therapies for neurocognitive illnesses such as Alzheimer's dementia as well as for metabolic disorders such as diabetes and even cancer and it is quite exciting to explore this space with such a passionate and knowledgeable friend.   Benjamin has provided a wealth of curated resources available on the podcast page and I encourage you to explore some this nourishing content as well as the resources on his own page at foreverfreefrom.com.

Mark Sisson chats with Chris Kresser about his new book Unconventional Medicine. The world is facing the greatest healthcare crisis it has ever seen. Chronic disease is shortening our lifespan, destroying our quality of life, bankrupting governments, and threatening the health of future generations. Sadly, conventional medicine, with its focus on managing symptoms, has failed to address this challenge. The result is burned-out physicians, a sicker population, and a broken healthcare system. In Unconventional Medicine, Chris Kresser presents a plan to reverse this dangerous trend. He shows how the combination of a ancestral diet and lifestyle, Functional Medicine, and a lean, collaborative practice model can create a system that better serves the needs of both patients and practitioners. The epidemic of chronic illness can be stopped, if patients and practitioners can adapt. Chris Kresser M.S., L.Ac., is the CEO of Kresser Institute, the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine, the creator of ChrisKresser.com, and the New York Times best-selling author of The Paleo Cure. He is known for his in-depth research uncovering myths and misconceptions in modern medicine and providing natural health solutions with proven results. Chris was named one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness by Greatist.com, and his blog is one of the top-ranked natural health websites in the world. He recently launched Kresser Institute, an organization dedicated to reinventing healthcare and reversing chronic disease by training healthcare practitioners in functional and evolutionary medicine. Chris lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife and daughter.

This week's guest is a fellow podcaster, myth-buster, and wellness warrior, Chris Kresser. Chris is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Paleo Cure and host of the Revolution Health Radio podcast. For a man so freakishly knowledgeable about health, Chris's non-dogmatic, balanced approach to wellness is refreshing. Case in point: last time I saw him in person here in Austin, we were chowing on grass-fed ice cream. And it was delicious. Ever wonder if you can eat cheese and still be Paleo? Maybe you feel better eating fruit than super low-carb. Is that okay? Listen up, because we're talking about: The top 5 myths in fat loss, health, and longevity Why science tells us a different story than the media Why even if 50 million people say a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing Why it's okay to eat ice cream sometimes Why cavemen died young, and much more!

Today we are joined by the New York Times Bestselling Author behind the book, “The Paleo Cure” and the host of Revolution Health Radio Podcast. You might remember in the past, we had my friend and role model Robb Wolf on the show, who is considered one of the most central folks to the Paleo movement. Well, Robb called today's guest the most knowledgable clinician in the paleo world - and for that reason, we just had to get him on today's show. You've seen him and his work in TIME, NPR, The Atlantic, and more - but it turns out that as a licensed acupuncturist and a self-described “health detective,” today's guest has a lot more to teach us about health than just dieting. In this episode, we talk about everything from the paleo diet, to how it can repair quite a bit of chronic health ailments, to the many issues with our modern lifestyles, and much, much more.

In this episode, Dr. Ruscio interviews Chris Kresser M.S., L.Ac., a globally recognized leader in the fields of ancestral health, Paleo nutrition, and functional and integrative medicine. He is the creator of ChrisKresser.com, one of the top 25 natural health sites in the world, and the author of the New York Times best seller, Your Personal Paleo Code (published in paperback in December 2014 as The Paleo Cure). They discuss the darkside of healthy living by looking at how sometimes making healthy choices makes us less healthy and how we all need to perhaps “live a little.”
