Miguel Bautista is the founder of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CSF) Recovery. He specializes in helping individuals recover from chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and long covid through neuroplasticity and brain rewiring techniques. Miguel shared his powerful story of when he woke up one day and was astonishingly incapable of sustaining his own needs which led to months spent bedridden in the hospital with unexplainable symptoms and debilitating pain. Ultimately, it wasn't until Miguel crossed paths with a psychiatrist that he was able to truly conquer his health and live independently again, pain free. In this episode Miguel retells his story and explains the 3-step protocol he uses for resetting the nervous system. 

WHAT WE DISCUSSED: 

[6:11]- Miguel shares his powerful story of struggling with chronic pain and being hospital bound to finding true healing through brain rewiring. 

[11:27]- Are those with go-getter personalities more susceptible to chronic ailments?

[19:34]-  What Miguel did when his labs continuously showed up normal, despite experiencing terrible symptoms and debilitating pain. 

[23:24]- How a psychiatrist created a treatment plan to get Miguel out of the hospital on his own two feet. 

[30:50]- What is neuroplasticity? What is Miguel's 3-step protocol to recalibrating the nervous system?

[41:29]- What is Miguel's treatment plan for a long Covid patient struggling with ongoing pain?

[47:45]- How long did Miguel's recovery take? Why commitment to recovery is a stronger indicator of time one will spend in remission then the period of time one was sick for. 

[53:03]- What role did nutrition play in Miguel's recovery?

[55:55]- How does nature regulate the nervous system? 

[1:01:31]- Miguel's inspiration for listeners feeling hopeless about healing chronic disease.

Sarah Kleiner is a coach in applied quantum biology and a circadian health expert. Sarah tried nearly every diet, from vegan and vegetarian to carnivore and beyond until finally understanding the root cause of her chronic inflammation and infertility. She used a combination of lifestyle and therapeutic interventions including healing from low leptin levels, watching the sunrise and being outside as much as possible, blocking artificial light, eating seasonally, and so much more, to accomplish optimal health. It was such a joy to pick Sarah's brain on leptin resistance- what it is, how to test for it, and the role it plays in weight loss resistance. 

WHAT WE DISCUSSED:

[6:40]- How the carnivore diet temporarily healed Sarah's inflammation until she learned how to heal the root cause of her symptoms. 

[19:12]- What is leptin resistance? What is the difference between treating high leptin and low leptin? 

[31:48]- What does Sarah cover in her 21 Day Leptin Reset Program? What are her thoughts on blue light and blue light blocking glasses? 

[42:34]- How do seasonal diets tend to be most effective when practiced in alignment with the corresponding season and sunlight patterns? 

[53:20]- What benefits has Sarah observed since using the hydrogen machine?

Many of my clients and followers are willing to make necessary lifestyle changes to reverse their insulin resistance, except when it comes to their coffee! So many struggle to give up creamers, sweeteners and alternative sweeteners, or protein sources added to coffee, and make the switch to black coffee instead.

Kirk Ripplinger lost 100+ pounds with intermittent fasting and carb restriction, but after 1 year of maintenance found himself regaining back some of the weight, which was very disheartening.

Kirk didn't want to succumb to weigh regain after he worked so hard to become meatbolically healthy and able to maintain his weight loss for so long. He decided to get in touch with his practitioner, and together they figured out a new medication was driving his appetite and making it impossibly difficult to fast.

We discuss how Kirk got off-track, steps he took to stop the weight regain, and how he got back on track to become an even healthier version of himself!

In this episode, Shana speaks about what she learned as a registered dietician and how she became a hormone healing expert. Shana reveals some unbelievable things that dieticians recommend to their patients, including canola oil! Then, Shana dives into reversing PCOS and how to navigate insulin resistance through lifestyle changes. Tune in as we chat about intermittent fasting, therapeutic fasting levels, and how many carbs you should be eating. 

[01:55] Shana Speaks About Her Journey As A Registered Dietician and  Hormone Healing Expert

• Shana is a registered dietician, and she has been in the field for over 20 years. 
• As a registered dietician, Shana was dealing with her own health issues. She was bloated all the time and had chronic canker sores. 
• Shana's son got very ill out of the blue. He was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. 
• Ultimately, Shana's son healed after working with a team from Australia. 
• Down the road, Shana tried fasting and found that it fixed her bloating and canker sores. 
• Eventually, Shana wrote Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance: https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Heal-Achieving-Nutritional-Resistance/dp/B0874JXVP7.

[14:30] It's Unbelievable: Registered Dieticians Are Recommending Canola Oil! 

• When Shana went to school to be a registered dietician, she was taught very little about hormones. 
• The only time insulin was talked about was when someone had diabetes. 
• Unfortunately, the US Dietary Guidelines are what they are, and that's what registered dieticians need to teach. 
• Hospitals still recommend using canola oil in cooking.
• We need to change the messaging around saturated fats. 

[23:55] PCOS Stems From Insulin Resistance and Can Be Reversed 

• 80% or more of PCOS stems from insulin resistance. 
• PCOS is the number one issue of infertility. 
• Most women are told PCOS is something they will have to deal with for the rest of their lives. 
• Luckily, PCOS is something that can be reversed through lifestyle interventions. 

[27:55] What To Do If You're Not Losing Weight While Intermittent Fasting

• Intermittent fasting is a highly individual lifestyle. 
• If you start fasting, most likely, you will see some type of progress with it. 
• Remember, you don't want to fast when pregnant or breastfeeding. 
• Also, don't try fasting if you have an active eating disorder. 
• Eight hours of eating and sixteen hours of fasting are great ways to start. 
• Sometimes, you need to extend your fasts to reverse your disease and start seeing results. 

[34:00] Therapeutic Fasting Levels Will Result In A Reversal of Insulin Resistance 

• Therapeutic fasting levels work for almost everybody who is stuck or not seeing any progress. 
• If you're ready to get off medications, you have to work with your doctor to monitor your blood sugar levels. 
• It can be a matter of weeks or even days when you're coming off some high insulin levels. 
• Therapeutic fasting is 31 to 42-hour fasts a week. 
• The therapeutic level of fasting is where almost everyone will see a reversal of insulin resistance.

[39:50] How Many Carbs Should You Eat? Take The Carb Quiz! 

• Carbs can be confusing for most people.
• Shana developed a carb quiz: https://www.fasttoheal.info/carbquiz.
• You want to look at your family history and goals before determining how to incorporate carbs into your diet. 
• Shana likes everyone below 100 grams of carbs. 
• Remember, everyone handles carbs differently. If you're thin and work out, you can handle more carbs. Also, men have more storage capacity for carbs. 

[45:55] Ketones Are Great For Inflammation and The Reason You Should Consider A Meat-Based Approach 

• So many people don't burn ketones. 
• Burning ketones can be anti-inflammatory in general. 
• Taking away plant foods for a time period will also be beneficial. 
• If you have severe issues, following a meat-based diet can help with health problems.
• Many people think if they are iron deficient, they should eat more kale and spinach. Well, you're only absorbing 6% of what you're eating. Plus, it could be causing inflammation.
• It's tough to know what foods you react to when you're ill. 

[55:45] Advice For Women: Should You Fast During Your Period? 

• Day one is when you start your period. 
• During your period is when you should incorporate longer fasts.
• The week leading up to your period should not include long fasts.
• The first two weeks of your cycle are the best times for longer fasts.
• If you are post-menopausal, you don't need to worry as much about when you're fasting. 

AND MUCH MORE!

Beth Lipton joins me today to talk about her book Carnivore-ish, which she co-wrote with Ashleigh VanHouten. They debunk the conventional "wisdom" that tells us to eat less or no meat, and explain what really works for looking and feeling the way you want to is more animal protein. Their book contains no dogma, no deprivation, no strict rules, and no fear mongering. It is a science-backed approach to eating that will give you the body you want, inside and out.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Beth's personal health journey into adding more animal protein into her own diet and liefestyle
• Beth and Ashleigh's book Carnivore-ish and why they felt the need to write it
• Target protein needs and how to reach your goals
• How to introduce organ meats into your diet for additional nutrition
• Why women in particular are afraid to add more meat to their diets
• Using a carnivore, animal-based diet for a gut and mental health reset
• Recipes you will find in Beth and Ashleigh's book, Carnivore-ish!

Exercise has endless benefits, we know this! But is it actually necessary to lose weight and reverse insulin resistance?

While it is extremely helpful, it is not absolutely necessary. I explain why in this podcast episode, in addition to:

• The role exercise plays in weight loss and reversing insulin resistance
• Why some exercise like crazy but still struggle to lose weight
• Which forms of exercise to focus on
• Exercising for enjoyment vs. calorie burning
• How to reduce glycogen storage to stimulate fat burning

If you feel like you need to eat all the time for fear of shakiness, being "hangry", anxious, or dizzy, this episode will help you immensly!

Hypoglycemia can lead to a myriad of symptoms, ranging from small annoyances of mild hunger, a bit of brain fog, and tiredness to major life disturbances such as passing out, fear of being alone, nighttime heart palpitations, and not being able to drive for fear of overwhelming symptoms.

What's worse, fasting might be very difficult if you are experiencing blood sugar crashes or reactive hypoglycemia.

In this episode we discuss:

• Symptoms of hypoglycemia
• Why conventional medicine and nutritional treatments typically don't help
• Why we should support adrenal health
• Steps to treat and reverse this sometimes debilitating issue!

Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, intermittent fasting and nutrition expert, and a two-time TEDx speaker. She leads numerous specialty fasting programs, and has been featured on many well-known podcasts. She just launched her new book, Intermittent Fasting Transformation: IF45, in March 2022!

Cynthia and I talk all about her new book, including why her protocol is 45 days and why women need to approach fasting differently than men. We also debunk the very prevalent myth that women shouldn't fast, address questions from vegetarians, and give tips for families working toward better nutrition.

You can find Cynthia's new book, Intermittent Fasting Transformation on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, and book stores.

In this episode Jess Reid and I discuss the importance of mindset when working through weight loss, health issues, and life changes. 

Jess provides a framework for conquering limiting beliefs by asking 4 main questions. Together, we provide examples on how to ask yourself the following to improve and change your mindset:

Is this true?

Can I absolutely know that it is true?

How do I feel when I think that is true?

Who would I be without this belief?

Then, Jess provides examples of turnaround statements to help create new mindset beliefs.

Her passion for this field was ignited with her own health journey, transitioning from struggling to stay awake following conventional nutritional advice, to feeling energized and focused by switching focus to real food and metabolic hormones.

In this episode we discuss Liv's own journey from constant weight gain and low energy levels to appetite regulation and stable energy by adjusting her diet to low-carb real food, which changed her thoughts around food.

We also tap into Liv's experiment with diabetic food protocols and the ensuing results on her continuous glucose monitor.

In 2016 my son was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. The next 3 years were hellish in trying to get it under control, find the root cause, and keep his life as normal as possible.

In episode 24, I shared with you all the treatments, diets, and protocols we tried and failed. We ended up seeking treatment outside the United States, and Hunter found healing and remission using a antibiotic therapy designed by Australian doctors.

In this episode I update you on his progress, regression, and where he is now. It is his story that ultimately brought me to where I am today.

Show Notes from the Keto Kamp podcast with Ben Azadi:

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Shana Hussin. She grew up in Wisconsin, and earned her dietetics degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1999. While very active throughout her entire lifetime, she struggled with weight gain in college, despite following conventional nutrition recommendations and exercising extensively. It took many years to figure out why she was so much bigger then, but the truth revealed itself when Shana discovered hormonal connections between weight gain, and eventually growing sick and fat.

Shana has worked in the medical nutrition therapy field for 20 years. Like most dietitians, she recommended strategies to her clients for much of her career that failed them long-term, with little sustainable weight loss. This proved to be frustrating to both practitioner and client.

Armed with new knowledge, an open mind, and simple healing concepts, she developed a 5- Step lifestyle improvement program for her clients, resulting in immediate and sustained success. Determined to share correct and effective concepts with as many as she could reach, she started writing.

Shana now serves those wanting to learn her teachings with books, digital products, workshops, group coaching, Facebook support groups, the Fast To Heal Stories podcast, and her popular Finding Nutritional PEACE Online program. To learn more about or to sign up for any of her programs, visit fasttoheal.info.

Shana and her husband have 3 awesome children and live in Kaukauna, WI. When she is able, she loves reading, running, traveling, sitting in the sunshine, walking with friends, and cheering her children on in whatever they are pursuing.

In this episode, Shana opens the show by talking about her son's ulcerative colitis diagnosis. After months of symptoms, the doctors told Shana to prepare to remove her son's colon. Luckily, Shana sought help outside of the conventional medical system and healed her son without removing his organs. Then, Shana speaks about when she questioned her traditional training as a dietician. After getting sick, Shana started to heal herself by dialing back carbs, increasing healthy fats, and eating more protein.

Tune in as we chat all about her new book, Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance.

Some influencers claim women shouldn't fast, or that it is not safe. If this were true, wouldn't we have died out as a species? There are a few things to consider hormonally when women start a fasting or time-restricted eating protocol.

In this podcast I discuss:

• Whether or not women can fast safely
• Considerations for women when fasting
• When to add longer fasts when still menstruating
• When to cycle in higher levels of carbohydrates
• Thyroid and adrenal considerations

Longer fasts past 24 hours can be very difficult for some to implement successfully. Protein-sparing modified fasts offer an excellent alternative to a water-only fast, as lean tissue is preserved, hunger is abated, and results can be amazing!

In this podcast we discuss:

• What a protein modified fast is
• Who it is appropriate for
• Macronutrient recommendations
• How often to do a protein sparing modified fast, and how to implement

Fruit and vegetable intake can be a bit confusing on a low-carb diet! Although I teach therapeutic carb restriction to reverse obesity and lifestyle disease, having a concrete level of fruit and vegetable intake to focus on can be helpful.

In this podcast I discuss:

• Which vegetables to focus on
• How to cycle in higher carb veggies on occasion
• Fruit recommendations
• Detriments of too much fructose

In this episode I discuss:

• Why we should think about lowering carbs to burn body fat
• Which level of carbohydrate is appropriate for you
• Glycogen storage
• Populations that may benefit from even lower levels of carb in their eating plan and why

This isn't really a black or white kind of answer, but I'll do my best!

There are many factors that come into play, and I discuss several. Men do tend to lose weight more quickly in the beginning, but it levels out and over the long haul, women will catch up. Here are other factors to think about:

• Bringing insulin levels down first and foremost
• Women's hormonal fluctuations
• Past "diet" or calorie deficit centered programs and how much weight you have to lose
• Overall nutrition plan and approach

Sugar cravings are very real!

How do you get back on track following a period of higher carb eating, longer eating windows, or falling off track?

In this episode I discuss many strategies to killing sugar cravings and getting back on track:

• Bringing insulin levels down
• Decreasing carbs over time
• Extending fasting times
• Consider a fat fast, which will help decrease insulin, promote fat burning, and help you get back on track!

Dr. Greg Brannon utilizes hormone replacement therapy to help females in perimenopause and menopause experience a smoother transition. We discussed what hormone replacement therapy is, how long therapy is used, hormone testing, and the comparison between cortisol and sex hormones.

[21:27]- What are the best tests for hormone health? 

[24:32]- What is impairing the body's ability to synthesize and secrete testosterone in healthy amounts? 

[33:00]- How does Dr. Brannon use bioidentical pellets in his practice, Optimal Bio? 

[40:45]- Can a female who has had reproductive cancer use hormone replacement therapy? 

[44:28]- What is the common standard of care for hormone imbalances? 

[48:18]- Is it cortisol or sex hormones that are contributing to high morning blood sugar?

• Why the traditional food pyramid and dietary recommendations fail most people when it comes to losing weight
• Reversing chronic disease, and getting healthy
• How fasting will decrease gut issues like bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort and reverse chronic disease
• What it means to be a sugar versus a fat burner
• Why people become insulin resistant, what foods contribute to this problem, and how to reverse it

We also provide tips on how to add fasting into your lifestyle without major restrictions to your daily living.

After struggling with his weight most of his adult life, Wade Paffenroth decided to follow in his wife's footsteps and implement the Fast To Heal strategies that had brought her so much success.

12 weeks later he is almost 40 pounds lighter with a much simpler lifestyle! More importantly, he reversed his dreadful diagnosis of pre-diabetes, and has transitioned from a sugar burner to a fat burner. Elevated energy and feeling in control of his eating are extra bonuses.

Don't miss his empowering story!
