In this eye-opening episode we dive deep into the troubling intersection of the opioid epidemic and the pharmaceutical industry's influence. While Naloxone is marketed as a lifesaver, it's part of a larger cycle where the same companies that push opioids onto the market also profit from the treatments designed to counteract the very addiction they fueled. We'll explore exactly what you need to know about Naloxone and how to help you learn where your state is spending its opioid dollars. We will also discuss why short term solutions are the most lethal and learn how to approach addiction from a holistic and long term approach.

In this episode of The Optimal Protein Podcast, I take a deep dive into two exciting new studies that could reshape how we think about fat loss and body composition. The first study investigates how a medically supervised ketogenic diet not only promotes fat loss but reverses biological aging by more than 6 years. And it's not just the calorie restriction—the study found that elevated ketones, especially beta-hydroxybutyrate, played a key role in reducing epigenetic age and promoting longevity pathways. The second study examines high-dose vitamin D supplementation and how it may direct surplus calories away from fat storage and toward muscle growth—via mechanisms involving myostatin and leptin signaling. While preclinical, the findings open up new conversations around vitamin D as a muscle-preserving, fat-loss–enhancing tool. If you're focused on losing fat, preserving muscle, and optimizing metabolic health, this episode is packed with cutting-edge insights.  Get 20% off the TONE LUX red light collection or the 2nd Generation Tone Device HERE  with the code VANESSA Follow @ketogenicgirl for updates on the latest studies and strategies to optimize protein intake and metabolic health.

In this episode, we are going to be covering a topic that I never expected to be a topic of controversy in nutrition: Fruit.  When it comes to fruit there are a lot of low carb diet proponents who have demonized fruit and claimed that it "is fattening" and can have negative effects on our metabolism. As a result, I have seen more and more people in my practice avoiding fruit.  To help you better understand the benefits of fruit consumption and debunk those myths and misinformation around fruit. In this episode we cover these dive deep into these three points: Evidence for the health benefits of fruit consumption overall  Why fruit is beneficial to our health and some specific examples of fruit compounds that have health benefits Who the small groups of people are who may really benefit from limiting fruit consumption Make sure you tune in to learn more.   Studies Referenced in this Episode  Long Term Studies on Fruit Consumption Blueberries Effect on Oxidized LDL   Follow me on social media:  Instagram  Facebook

Excerpt: What do you do if you understand the concept of body neutrality and are at peace with your larger body, but still feel like you need to lose weight for your health?  This is a common question amongst the people I work with.Many women will say, they “felt better” when they were smaller.  So even though they want to embrace intuitive eating and a more relaxed approach to fitness, they still feel they must restrict food and work hard in order to achieve or maintain their “healthiest” weight. Tune into this episode as we unpack the real reason you felt better in a smaller body.  We'll explore why “moderation” seems so elusive and why you feel out of control whenever you deviate from your plan. Creating that feeling of stamina and vitality you had in a smaller body IS possible in whatever body you have today.  Listen to explore the mindset shifts required to feel your best in your now body and how to discover what YOUR healthiest weight is.What you'll learn by listening:Why you felt better in a smaller bodyWhy we give up on our “healthy lifestyle” even though we're feeling betterThe reason you go off the rails when you loosen the restriction just a little bitThe mindset trap that keeps you stuck in all or nothing behaviour; why moderation seems out of reachHow you can feel just as good in the body you have todayHow to determine what the healthiest weight is for you.Studies Referenced:  “The biology of binge eating” ( Foulds Mathes, et al.

This gene creates a protein known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, which plays a role in the formation of fat cells, as well as the use of fats and carbohydrates as a source of energy. Studies Referenced in the Episode: https://academic.oup.com/hmg/article/12/22/2923/606582/Interaction-between-a-peroxisome-proliferator   PPARG Genotype Effect CC Individuals with the CC genotype are likely to be more sensitive to the negative effects of fats and refined carbohydrates within the diet. As such, they should consume wholegrain carbohydrates, as well as fruits and vegetables, alongside a moderate intake of fats – with a focus on poly- and mono-unsaturated fatty acids. CT/TT Neither genotype is associated with an increased sensitivity to refined carbohydrates or saturated fats.

Senses transport data to the working memory - holding area 4. central processor - controls how much attention is given to the contents of the working memory 5. Long-term memory - data stored and potentially available for recall How to Maintain a Healthy Frontal Lobe http://www.breachbuilders.org/article.php?story=20100111015631512 -find challenges, be mindful, avoid automatic pilot: -manage information exposure, practice blocking, discarding, and ignoring less relevant tasks and information. The 3 Ts of the Frontal Lobe Tension: The unique ability of a human to rise above emotional reactions, and selfish – primitive behaviors. Tact: The ability to understand and apply socially acceptable behaviors. Tenacity: The ability to focus on one thing for a period of time.
