Episode #180 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: We're getting more questions about children and insulin resistance. Of course the parents should always check with their pediatrician, but could you speak on what type of diet a child could be on if they start showing signs of a metabolic issue, especially if the mother had gestational diabetes while carrying them? [01:47] If someone lost their sense of smell during COVID, but could smell during a five-day fast, would it be a good idea to keep at it, hopefully, for a permanent restoration of their sense of smell? [04:56] I can't quite make myself fast for more than 24 hrs. In the last three, months I've started eating once a day, mostly every day, with 17 to 24 hours fasting in between. Would I be able to completely reverse the type 2 diabetes if I stick to this way of eating? [08:10] Dr. Fung, in one of your videos you suggested eating your protein and fat ten minutes before eating carbs. How many grams of fat or protein are required? [12:10] Could Dr. Fung discuss Carnivore as an elimination diet, and what his thoughts are about adopting it as a long-term diet? [18:22] I have a CGM and my BG goes up about after my first meal, plateaus at that higher level, goes up even higher after the second meal, and then slowly returns to the original level overnight. Does this mean that my meals are too close together? Should I wait to have the second meal only when my BG returns to the original value after one meal? [23:06] Is it important to have a ketone monitor or CGM? Are blood ketone monitors more accurate? [25:25] It seems to me that just getting one blood test (fasting glucose) to determine if you're pre-diabetic or not could be very misleading, given the variability? [27:39] Why and how do non-caloric, sugar-free, natural sweeteners, such as Atevia and Truvia, raise insulin?

Welcome to The Keto Vegan! I'm Rachel, and I'm so excited to share a special episode with you today. I've been experimenting with homemade liqueurs, including my own orange and raspberry creations, and I can't wait to tell you all about them. I'll also be showing you how to make my signature cocktail—the Hot Lips Martini—using my freshly made orange liqueur. So, grab a seat, sip along with me, and let's dive into this delicious keto-vegan journey together! Ingredients: ¼ cup Truvia for Baking Caster sugar to go with ½ litre of vodka Peel the oranges, don't use the juice, just the peel. Raspberries – 2 packs. Every day give a good shake – make sure you have an airtight container (unlike me!)
A lot has been going on for me, and I wanted to give you a look into what is going on. First things first, I did a video a while back about some health problems that I was having. I was having some strange Premature Ventricle Contractions that took me to a cardiologist. The cardiologist was concerned about my high blood pressure and my cholesterol and triglycerides. Not wildly uncommon for someone in my demographic. I was put on two blood pressure medicines and two statins. The first statin gave me horrible leg pains, to the point where I couldn't even walk up and down stairs, so I was put on a different Statin mix that I tolerated a little better.The blood pressure medicine made me retain a bunch of water, to the point where I was getting really bloated and my clothes didn't fit right, so I was put on a diuretic/blood pressure combo in addition to the original blood pressure medicine I was on. I also had a high A1C reading of 6.8, which isn't off the charts, but puts you in the range of the start of diabetes. Below 6 is where they like it to be. This tests kind of give you a sense of your average blood glucose numbers over a period of time, but to fully diagnose you with diabetes, they like to have a second confirming test.So fast forward several months and I am having issues with what I believe to be the diuretic. Thirsty all the time, peeing several times during the night. Eventually, it got so bad, I was drinking 4 gallons of water a day and peeing 4-5 times at night and pretty much non-stop and with great urgency during the day. I had also lost about 16 pounds in just a few weeks. My vision had also been getting really bad, but I just chalked that up to needing a new prescription.So it comes time to take another A1C test before an appointment. This time the test cam back at 13.2, which is kind of off the charts. I knew this was something concerning, because both my Cardiologist and my primary care physician called me right away, which never happens these days. My Primary care physician wanted to get me on insulin and get me to an endocrinologist right away, but I suggested that it was such a big jump that I should take the A1C test again again, because it was too big of a jump. So I asked for Metformin to get started and a glucose test kit. So I got that, I started taking the Metformin and I tested my blood, which was in the 300s fasting. For reference you are supposed to be in the 70-100 range. That's when I realized I might have some issues.I messaged my doctors saying that we may need to be more aggressive with the treatment, but later that night, before anyone was able to get back to me, my blood sugar went up to 485. People had been telling me that if my glucose gets over 400 I should go straight to the hospital, so I got my wife out of bed and had her drive me, even though I was feeling OK oddly. At the hospital, they took one look at my blood work and they told me I wasn't going home.I was there for 3 days while they got everything under control. Lots of blood tests, finger sticks and insulin 4+ times a day. So now I am out, my numbers are much better, and I haven't had to be as aggressive with the treatment. The great news is that fixing the diabetes, seems to have fixed the high blood pressure, the vision, the peeing and the high triglycerides.Now I didn't have to make many life changes, I have long been a pescatarian, and had a generally low-carb diet. I miss my apples, grapes and bananas, but I am doing good with other things and I am using the Truvia, brown sugar substitute in my tea, which is a nice change from all the sugarless tea I had been drinking.So if anyone wants to be my dia-buddy, I am open.Click Here to SubscribeOccasionally we share links to products we use.

Best Moments “Next time I will use only 50g of the sugar.” “You can't take it out once you've put it in!” “We know already don't we! I am no chef for sure” Ingredients & Instructions: Brownies: Serves: 16 Ingredients 60g almond flour 40g cocoa powder ½ teaspoon baking soda 100g Truvia brown sugar ½ teaspoon salt 90g chocolate, roughly chopped 30g coconut oil 90g smooth peanut butter 30g maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 flax eggs: 2 tablespoons ground flax mixed with 5 tablespoons water, mixture needs to sit for 15 minutes OR Orgran No Egg, Egg Replace for 2 eggs. If using this you may need to add a bit of plant milk once mixed. 60g no added sugar chocolate chips or roughly chop some low sugar dark chocolate or you can get these from Amazon: https://amzn.to/48uLuXQ 70g Walnuts chopped (optional) What to do If using flax eggs, first prepare these by combining the ground flax with water. Allow to sit for 15 mins while preparing the rest of the batter. If using egg replacement follow the instructions on the box to make 2 eggs. The results are better with the Orgran No Egg. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine the almond flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, set aside. In a medium microwave melt the 90g of chopped chocolate. Once melted add in the peanut butter and stir to combine. Allow to cool slightly then stir in the coconut oil, then the maple syrup, vanilla and eggs and whisk until evenly combined. Whisk the dry mixture into the wet until just combined (be careful not to over mix). Then fold in the chopped chocolate and walnuts. It is at this stage that you'll know whether you need to add some plant milk – just a tiny bit at a time until you get a slightly wet batter. Transfer the batter to the lined baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just set in the centre. Allow to cool completely to room temp before cutting into squares. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze and thaw for another time. Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge: Ingredients 510g sugar free chocolate, chopped or chips 1 carton coconut cream 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 70g Truvia for Cooking caster 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional 60g peanut butter, warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds once ready to add to the fudge 2 double measures of Peanut Butter liqueur Instructions Line an 8 x 8-inch tin with parchment paper, set aside. In a bain-marie, combine the chocolate and the coconut milk. Heat until fully melted and them remove from the heat - you don't want to overcook the chocolate. Add the vanilla, and salt (if using) and Truvia and mix well. Add the liqueur and taste to test. Transfer into the prepared tin. Melt the peanut butter Pour over the slightly melted runny peanut butter using a zigzag motion. Using a knife, swirl the peanut butter through the chocolate. Allow the fudge to set in the fridge for a minimum of 5 hours to overnight. Once the fudge has set, remove it from the tin and slice it into tiny squares. Cover and store in the fridge for up to 10 days. Notes This will melt if left at room temperature so must be stored in the fridge at all times. This fudge can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To eat from frozen just thaw to fridge temperature and serve.

Hello and welcome to The Keto Vegan, the podcast where Rachel shares her delicious and healthy vegan recipes that are low in carbs and high in flavour. In this episode, Rachel is going to show you how to make onion marmalade, a sweet and tangy condiment that goes well with cheese, burgers, and more. Onion marmalade is not strictly keto, but it is low carb if you don't eat too much of it. And trust me, that's easier said than done. This onion marmalade is so good that you'll want to lick the spoon, the jar, and the pot. But don't worry, Rachel will give you some tips on how to enjoy it without going overboard on your carb intake. So, grab your apron, your knife, and your onions, and let's get cooking! If you enjoy this podcast, please leave me a review and share it with your friends. Thank you for listening and stay tuned for the next episode. Ingredients and carb counts and helpful tips. Olive oil – enough to cover the bottom of the large pan. 3kg frozen sliced red onions 7.8g per 100g so in whole batch there were 234g of carbs – this is a lot. 300g of Truvia for baking – ideally brown 5.7g carbs of which are sugars, 92g are polyols so don't count. Look at the graphic from dietdoctor.com: https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/sweeteners This article may also be helpful: http://www.lowcarb.ca/tips/tips010.html 300ml white wine vinegar (if you have red, use that instead) less than 0.5g per 100 375ml port or red wine (I used port this time, have used red wine before, tastes just as good) 4 fl oz of port contains 4g carb. 375ml of port = 13 fl oz = 13g carbs 6tbsp balsamic vinegar – careful which one you use – these are really high in carbs. The one I used has 21.9g per 100. Total in recipe = 20g Salt and pepper – season as you go along and check – don't forget, once you put in too much you can't take it out!! Total carbs in whole recipe = 282g Sterilizing your jars To sterilise your jars, put clean, dry jars on a baking tray and into a cold oven. Heat to 150°C/Gas 1-2 then heat for a minimum of 15 minutes. Fill the hot onion mixture into hot jars straight from the oven; fill right to the top and use a skewer to poke out any air holes. Then screw on the lids and turn upside down for 10 minutes to sterilise the lids. Method: Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onions and cook very gently for 30-45 minutes. If using frozen onions there will be more liquid so simmer until most of the liquid has gone, stirring now and then, until very soft and caramelising. Add a third of the sugar and cook for another 15 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer on your lowest heat until the liquid has reduced and the onions are dark and sticky. This will depend on your pan, approx. 30-45 mins. You should be able to run a wooden spoon through and leave the pan clean underneath. Pot while hot into warm sterilised jars and seal with vinegar-proof lids. Store in a cool dry place and use within 3 months. Keep in the fridge once opened and use within a couple of weeks. Best Moments “It's so much easier, saves lots and lots of tears ... it really makes my nose run and my eyes stream!” “It takes a long time this one. But, it is so worth it, my next door neighbour, Barbara is going to love me because I'm going to take her a jar.” “Just let it simmer down until there's barely any liquid left.” Valuable Resources 4-6 valuable resources, good link with a sentence explaining what it is.

If you're really into sugar-free baked goods, protein products, or diet sodas, you do not want to miss this episode. Personally, I've been on a journey lately to be more mindful about the artificial sweeteners I'm putting in my body. I've spent some time reflecting on how they're affecting my gut and if there are alternatives to what I'm currently doing. My encouragement is that you start self-reflecting as well. For now, listen to this episode as I discuss some places where you may find artificial sweeteners, some of the research on this topic, and the health impacts of both artificial sweeteners and real sugar. Get ready to hear an answer to the trending question: which is better, artificial or natural sugar? Show Highlights: What net carbs are and how to find them. What sugar alcohols are. How sugar alcohols affect your glucose tolerance. How artificial sweeteners affect your gut. How I've analyzed my artificial sweetener intake. What products to look out for that commonly use artificial sweeteners. A warning about popular “Truvia” products. How artificial sweeteners affect our hunger response.

Week 5 Frequently Asked Questions Topic: Remove Nicotine, Caffeine, Alcohol and Processed Foods 1.) If I am removing processed foods, what can I eat? Continue to eat an ABUNDANCE of fresh fruit in the morning, vegetables, and lean high-quality meats and proteins.Continue to remove refined sugars to the best of your ability. 2.) Does natural sweeteners include Stevia, Agave, Truvia, Sweet N Low, etc? Yes, please remove remaining sweeteners and syrups. 3.) Can we drink decaf coffee instead?

Everyone has different foods that they love, whether they are quarantined at home, back at work, at school or even on vacation. Three categories that come to mind would be sweet foods, salty foods and alcohol. It is possible to satisfy your desire for those favorite tastes without overloading your diet with unhealthy calories. My friend and fellow health coach, Betsy Holzapfel, was the guest on my March 20 Podcast 63, “Thriving Not just Surviving”. She is with me today to discuss small changes you can make to your food choices to be healthier, have fewer calories and still feel full and content.Sweets:In any recipe you can substitute zero calorie, natural sweetener such as Stevia for the sugar. Plain white flour has no nutritional value so replace it with almond, coconut or similar flour to get healthy benefits. You may have to try various combinations to find what you like. Your final product will be denser but much healthier with fewer carbs and less sugar.A few favorite brands:Lilly’s. Their chocolate chips, bars and treats are made with natural cocoa and sweetened with stevia, not artificial sugars.Truvia. A plant based, natural sugar made from Stevia.Smart Sweets. High fiber, zero sugar and zero carb, gummy type candy.An easy way to find low carb and low sugar recipes is to look at those designed for a Keto diet. You do not have to follow the diet plan, but you can pick and choose recipes that sound good to you to add to your regular diet plan.Replacing “this with that” will make a difference but you must also practice portion control. Just because something has less sugar or fewer carbs does not mean you can eat as much as you want.Salty snacksChips and salsa are a good option. Especially if you make your own salsa and pair it with a chip such as Beanitos which are made from beans. They taste great and are packed with fiber and protein, plus they have a low glycemic index.Pre-portioned salted nuts are great if you have the proper serving size. Use pre-packaged nuts so you can’t overdo it.It is important to know your eating personality. What are you trying to satisfy: portion size, taste or mouth feel (such a s crunchy)? You have to decide that before you can choose a snack. For example; if you think you are seeking salt, but you want quantity, don’t pick nuts. You will eat too many calories trying to satisfy your need.Alcohol:All alcohol has calories, but you can minimize those by your choice of mixer or by choosing lite variations.Vodka and Tequila are lower in calories than other alcohols, so pair them with a low calorie seltzer. For favorites like margaritas, use natural, low calorie sweeteners. Enjoy a lite beer over a regular one and you will save yourself calories.Enjoy good fats, just watch portion size and eat them at the right time. For example, avocado toast on a healthy piece of bread for breakfast will satisfy you until lunch. The fat of the avocado is higher in calories, but it stays with you, is healthy and contains fiber and protein.Resources:www.healthaccountabilitycoach.comwww.facebook.com/houselifestylesDo not deprive yourself. If that kicks in, you are toast. When choosing what to eat, find something you like that is healthier, and you will eventually crave it, instead of the original. Make sure it is filling enough to satisfy you and leave you content. If you are feeling starved or deprived, you will make emotional choices and have no control over quantity.
The cast this week is all about a popular low-carb recipe for chaffles. The cheese waffle is quickly shooting up the charts for a quick and easy at home treat. It can be made either in a salty or sweet form so it's rather versatile. It's also a very easy recipe to make for even the novice chefs (like me).Cheese Recipe-1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (or other blend) cheese-1 large eggDirections: Wisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Spray waffle maker and preheat. Sprinkle some additional cheese on the bottom of the grid. Pour in half the mixture if making on Dash mini waffle maker. Sprinkle more cheese on top of the wet ingredients. Cook for 4-5 minutes.Chocolate Chip Chaffle-1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (or other blend) cheese-1 large egg-1 tsp of Truvia-1 tsp of coconut flour-1/2 tsp vanilla extract-Chocolate chipsDirections: Same as above except omit sprinkling of cheese on bottom and top and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. When finished top with butter, syrup and whipped cream. This recipe is also great as an a la mode, topped with your fav low-carb ice cream.Dash Mini Waffle Maker:https://amzn.to/3bHBY5KWaffle Maker with removable plates:https://amzn.to/36jiBPw

Today we give extra props to Brandon who joined us while on the last couple days of his intense Terminator two-week diet, and his low lectin levels make for some good entertainment. We share our extreme diet hacks, including some that are deemed controversial, some crazy good carb alternatives and why we still like to stop at old-school grocery stores. Key Takeaways: [1:32] You probably aren't tough enough for Brandon's new diet, The Terminator two-week diet. It's pretty drastic and intense and mixed with his ice baths and strict low-calorie intake there are few people that could actually do it. Maybe Count Dracula, Conor, and Genghis Khan could do it, but that's about it. [4:49] Be careful with serving size! If the serving size is under 5 calories, they can put it as 0 calories. We love hot sauce and mustard, but just be careful when pouring it on everything. [7:42] NEAT — Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis aka the calories you burn throughout your day. [18:39] Back in his fitness model days, Brandon would resort to intense diets to get his desired results in a quick amount of time. [22:46] Brandon's hacks to help keep your energy up during times of an extreme or low calorie diet (warning — some are controversial): Ketone supplements, caffeine, ephedra, creatine, and continuing to eat just whole foods to keep your appetite down. Connor started having one low-calorie after his cheat day, and that helps him stay lean. [33:38] Connor is a fan of the shirataki noodles. With zero calories maybe up mostly of fiber, they can be a substitute for starchy noodles. [43:24] Connor tries to get Brandon to open up to the world of imitation crab and liquid Truvia. Brandon loves his lemon pepper Bumblebee Tuna and his Quaker Instant Oatmeal. [53:07] Connor makes his perfect oatmeal bowl for high-carb days with Greek yogurt, Truvia, cinnamon, fruit, and maybe some cereal if he is really going for it. [57:29] Ramen noodles are good for when you are bulking on a budget and are extremely dense in calories for the price.

Want to have ageless skin whether you're 35 or 80? It's easy, I promise you. First, change your way of eating from a diet of packaged convenience foods to pesticide-free, whole organic foods that are unprocessed. Next, never use canned fruits in any recipe that needs sweetening. Instead, go for fresh top quality stevias. Then use organic spices and herbs to create great flavors for all your dishes. The sugar content of any food is most deliberately hidden by food manufacturers who, if they list it at all, give it a name that shoppers will not recognize. It's essential to be very cautious when looking for alternatives to sugar itself. These fall into three main categories: Artificial sweeteners—which you must avoid like the plague if you value your skin and your health. Sugar alcohols. So-called natural sweeteners. HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO REMEMBER: The first group never to use are the artificial sweeteners—each very harmful in its own way. These include aspartame—the worst of the lot. You'll find it in Equal and NutraSweet, as well as hidden in all sorts of packaged foods and sugar-free gums. Then there is sucralose. It is also nasty. It's the main ingredient in Splenda. And of course, there is good old saccharine, which you'll find in Sweet and Low, as well as many other artificial sweeteners by different names. There is much evidence to back up how dangerous these are. Avoid all of them completely forever about your skin and your health. The second group of sugar alternatives are the sugar alcohols. They all have “ol” in their name—such as xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, mannitol, glycerol and lactitol. These sugar alcohols can spike blood sugar, so beware. Just because some product label says “sugar-free” this is not necessarily the truth, nor can you be sure it is calorie-free. Probably safest of the lot is xylitol, but only if you use it occasionally and sparingly. (By the way, xylitol is deadly for your cats and dogs.) The third group of sugar substitutes is often referred to as “natural sweetener”. This is a misnomer if I have ever heard one. Take, Agave Syrup and Agave Nectar which are even worse than the dreadful high-fructose corn syrup. It's absurd to refer to these products as “natural”, despite all the advertising hype that tries to make you think that they are. Higher in sugar content than almost any other sweetener on the market, Agave has virtually no nutritional value. As for honey—this has become seriously distorted because of the hideous damage being done to bee colonies. You want to avoid honey as well unless you can gather it from your own hives. So what are your safest choices? Stevia is number one on the list. This is an exotic herb which grows in subtropical areas of South America. This plant has been used to sweeten herbal drinks since pre-Columbian times. It's a godsend for enhancing health and reducing your sugar intake. It's great for sweetening drinks and baking dishes. But make sure you use only the best. All sorts of so-called stevias such as Truvia and Purevia continue to be promoted by multinational corporations. They call themselves “all-natural sweeteners”. In reality, they have been manufactured only from “certain active ingredients” in the stevia plant, not from the whole plant. As a result, they are distortions of the real thing. Don't use them. Another good natural sweetener is Lo Han Guo, which comes from a Chinese fruit. It's more expensive than stevia. Sugar of any kind is a killer both in terms of your health and your good looks. Make these changes now and in as little as three weeks you'll be amazed at how much better your skin looks, and how much better you feel all round. You may be surprised after a month or so to find you no longer even want sugar once your body has quite naturally eliminated its sugar cravings. I find this happens to many, many people. It feels like breaking free from a control mechanism that once undermined your life and your sense of self.

Another good natural sweetener is Lo Han Guo, which comes from a Chinese fruit. It’s more expensive than stevia. Sugar of any kind is a killer both in terms of your health and your good looks. Make these changes now and in as little as three weeks you’ll be amazed at how much better your skin looks, and how much better you feel all round. You may be surprised after a month or so to find you no longer even want sugar once your body has quite naturally eliminated its sugar cravings. I find this happens to many, many people. It feels like breaking free from a control mechanism that once undermined your life and your sense of self. Try it and find out for yourself.
Want to have ageless skin whether you’re 35 or 80? It’s easy, I promise you. First, change your way of eating from a diet of packaged convenience foods to pesticide-free, whole organic foods that are unprocessed. Next, never use canned fruits in any recipe that needs sweetening. Instead, go for fresh top quality stevias. Then use organic spices and herbs to create great flavors for all your dishes. The sugar content of any food is most deliberately hidden by food manufacturers who, if they list it at all, give it a name that shoppers will not recognize. It’s essential to be very cautious when looking for alternatives to sugar itself. These fall into three main categories: Artificial sweeteners—which you must avoid like the plague if you value your skin and your health. Sugar alcohols. So-called natural sweeteners. HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO REMEMBER: The first group never to use are the artificial sweeteners—each very harmful in its own way. These include aspartame—the worst of the lot. You’ll find it in Equal and NutraSweet, as well as hidden in all sorts of packaged foods and sugar-free gums. Then there is sucralose. It is also nasty. It’s the main ingredient in Splenda. And of course, there is good old saccharine, which you’ll find in Sweet and Low, as well as many other artificial sweeteners by different names. There is much evidence to back up how dangerous these are. Avoid all of them completely forever about your skin and your health. The second group of sugar alternatives are the sugar alcohols. They all have “ol” in their name—such as xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, mannitol, glycerol and lactitol. These sugar alcohols can spike blood sugar, so beware. Just because some product label says “sugar-free” this is not necessarily the truth, nor can you be sure it is calorie-free. Probably safest of the lot is xylitol, but only if you use it occasionally and sparingly. (By the way, xylitol is deadly for your cats and dogs.) The third group of sugar substitutes is often referred to as “natural sweetener”. This is a misnomer if I have ever heard one. Take, Agave Syrup and Agave Nectar which are even worse than the dreadful high-fructose corn syrup. It’s absurd to refer to these products as “natural”, despite all the advertising hype that tries to make you think that they are. Higher in sugar content than almost any other sweetener on the market, Agave has virtually no nutritional value. As for honey—this has become seriously distorted because of the hideous damage being done to bee colonies. You want to avoid honey as well unless you can gather it from your own hives. So what are your safest choices? Stevia is number one on the list. This is an exotic herb which grows in subtropical areas of South America. This plant has been used to sweeten herbal drinks since pre-Columbian times. It’s a godsend for enhancing health and reducing your sugar intake. It’s great for sweetening drinks and baking dishes. But make sure you use only the best. All sorts of so-called stevias such as Truvia and Purevia continue to be promoted by multinational corporations. They call themselves “all-natural sweeteners”. In reality, they have been manufactured only from “certain active ingredients” in the stevia plant, not from the whole plant. As a result, they are distortions of the real thing. Don’t use them.

The Fat-Burning Man Show by Abel James: The Future of Health & Performance
Do you want to lose weight, get healthy, improve your athletic performance, or need help healing from a chronic disease? On this week's Fat Burning Man Show, Dr. Josh Axe will give you three basic tips on how to achieve your goals using relaxation, diet, and exercise. No drugs. No ridiculous workouts. Josh started Exodus Health Care in 2008, has been physician to professional and Olympic athletes, and helps thousands of people achieve fitness through his books and BurstFit program. He also spreads the message of health through his syndicated radio show and regular television program on CBS Nashville. On this week's FBM show, he opens up about his mother's struggle with cancer—from her initial battle with chemo to finally healing through the power of a holistic, natural approach. We talk about how he helped her on her path to healing, and so much more, including: • The three most important things you can do right now to heal your body, lose weight, and improve athletic performance. • How to fuel your body before and after training. • Sugar substitutes: Are Stevia and honey good for you? • Four steps to repairing a leaky gut, and why gut health is important. • The side-effects of chemo: healing cancer naturally. Come on over to the show, meet Josh, and dig into all of these topics and more! See you there. HERE'S THE SHOW IN WRITING! ➢ Dr. Josh Axe is an author, radio host, and a physician for athletes. He lives in Nashville, where he's had a clinic for the last five years. ➢ Josh was recently voted on of Nashville's 25 most beautiful people! ➢ How did you get turned on to natural health? Twenty years ago, Josh's mother had cancer. She was the picture of health- a swim instructor at school and a fit person. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she had a mastectomy and chemo. Her hair fell out and she was sick. She went through a cycle of depression, for which she was prescribed anti-depressants which made her constipated. She had chronic fatigue for ten years and spent half her life in bed—then she was diagnosed with cancer again. ➢ The second time she was diagnosed with cancer, Josh was in college in Florida studying chiropractic and nutrition. He knew he had to do something to help his mother. This lead him to all natural probiotics and juicing. ➢ They tried diet and everything in the natural world to help heal his mother's cancer, and in four months the tumors reduced by half! ➢ In 13 months, the cancer was in complete remission. Now his mother is in the best shape of her life. ➢ Now, Josh uses that knowledge to help people live the very best life every single day. He treats every patient like he did his mother- like family. ➢ What are the biggest things we can do to change our health? 1. Stress: It's a killer, so you have to do whatever you can to try and to reduce stress in your life. How? Write on one side of a sheet of paper all the things that stress you out—then address how to change those. On the other side of the paper, write everything that brings you joy—then schedule time for those things into your week. It's amazing how many people do nothing to bring them joy in their day-to-day lives. 2. Digestive Health: Hypocrates is famous for saying that health begins in the gut. This is one of the most important things to address, and is the topic of Josh's new book, "How to Heal a Leaky Gut." Gluten is one of the biggest culprits. It leaks through the gut and recirculates throughout the body, causing all kinds of havoc. 3. Nutrition: Pack your diet full of nutrient-dense healing foods. You have to think like an Olympic athlete: Instead of asking, "What can I get away with eating?" ask "What do I have to put in my body to be the best I can be?" Even nutritionists that assist pro athletes have the wrong idea about how to properly fuel the body. Here's a tip: CHOCOLATE MILK IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU, EVEN AFTER A WORKOUT. • Pre-workout nutrition should be low in fat, because fat takes longer to digest. Eat a simple sugar and honey with a quickly absorbable protein like grassfed whey or amino acids. • Post-workout meal is higher in protein and should be real food, like a grassfed burger or antioxidant-rich wild salmon with a serving of good carbs from fruit or vegetable sources. • For the rest of the day, get plenty of healthy fats and vegetables. ➢ There are lots of different ways to lose weight, but it's best when weight-loss is a byproduct of good health. Eat simple carbs, simple protein (collagen and wild salmon are the easiest to digest), short and medium chain fats like coconut oil. ➢ As you continue to lose weight and heal your body, include fermented dairy (kefir) and grassfed butter. ➢ Unlike other sweeteners, honey is not a concentrate. What are the benefits of using honey or other natural sweeteners? 1. There's no easy answer to the question, "Can I eat honey?" The answer is sometimes "yes" and sometimes "no." • Honey has antimicrobial properties. • Honey will not ferment or create gut issues like candida. • Honey is the simplest sugar to digest. • Local honey can contain pollen that will help your body adapt to its surroundings, alleviating symptoms of allergies and asthma. 2. Be careful about which honey you're buying. 77% of honey sold in grocery stores has no pollen count at all. It's not real honey. Instead, buy local raw honey. 3. BUT, even if it's local, raw, organic honey, you're not going to lose weight if you eat a gallon of it every week! A couple tablespoons a day max. ➢ What about stevia? Unfortunately, the healthy sweetener has been grabbed up by big food and turned into a confusing- if not unhealthy- sweetener. • Real stevia leaf is healthy if used in moderation. However, the popular Truvia and other commercial brands contain GMO erythritol and are contaminated during the processing of the leaf into the white powder we buy in packets. Truvia goes through 42 steps to make it 400 times sweeter than sugar. • Real stevia leaf can help control blood sugar and diabetes. • The Sweet Leaf brand is better than Truvia, as it only takes 3 – 4 steps of refining and does not contain the additives. • You can buy the ground stevia leaf online, and a huge bag lasts a long time! ➢ HEALING LEAKY GUT: Your intestines are the gatekeepers of the body. They are like a net, and inflammation causes a hole in the net that things start leaking right through. Gluten, casein, and heavy metals then begin to circulate through your body causing: • Thyroid issues • Joint pain • Autoimmune disease • Chronic illness ➢ The first step to healing a leaky gut is removing gluten and processed foods! ➢ There are four healing foods that can help repair a leaky gut: 1. Bone broth—sometimes in severe cases, Josh will put patients on a bone broth fast to jump-start the healing process. 2. Organic meats 3. Fermented vegetables 4. Raw goat's milk kefir ➢ The #1 thing causing leaky gut is prescription antibiotics, which kill both the good and bad bacteria in the gut. This is a big problem, considering that 80% of the immune system is your gut. ➢ You are what you digest! ➢ Good replacements for antibiotics are oil of oregano, clove oil, and tea tree oil. ➢ Load up on (preferably soil-based) probiotics. We used to eat our food from local farms. When you pull a fresh carrot, rinse it, and there's a little bit of soil embedded in the vegetable, that's good! Those minerals are probiotics, which help you break down starches. ➢ The baby carrots you buy in bags at the store are sprayed with a chlorine solution. So instead of buying chemical-laden veggies, EAT SOME DIRT! ➢ You can check out Josh Axe's latest advice on draxe.com. He is working on re-launching his site on a new platform, and publishing his new book about how to heal a leaky gut. If you're looking for information on metabolism, you'll want to read "6 Metabolism Death Foods." You could be surprised about how you're unintentionally hijacking your health.
