Today, I’m fortunate to have Dr. John Lieurance, a great friend of the show, joining us again; he’s been a frequent guest, sharing his expertise over the years. John Lieurance, ND, DC, RMA, BS, DABCN (Board Eligible), is a chiropractic neurologist and naturopath who has been in private practice for 25 years. He works at Advanced Rejuvenation, a multidisciplinary clinic focused on alternative and regenerative medicine, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic functional neurology, Functional Cranial Release (FCR), Lumomed, Lyme disease, mold illness, and various other neurological conditions. He also travels internationally, teaching other doctors. In this episode, Dr. Lieurance emphasizes the benefits of melatonin, particularly its influential role in stress resilience and anti-aging. Beyond its well-known effects on sleep, melatonin is produced in every body cell, acting as a protective mechanism against oxidative stress. As we age, melatonin levels drastically decline, which impairs our ability to repair at a cellular level. Dr. Lieurance highlights that supplementing with melatonin can extend our capacity to handle stress, promote deep relaxation, and support healthy aging. Also, we explore the fascinating properties of methylene blue, a vivid blue salt with a unique affinity for the mitochondria. This compound enhances the body's ability to absorb and utilize red and near-infrared light, which is crucial for cellular energy production. Methylene blue supports the mitochondria, improving their function by approximately 30% and acting as a neuroprotective agent. Dr. Lieurance emphasizes how the body can harness energy from photons, not just food, by absorbing light into the mitochondria. Tune in until the end of this show with Dr. Lieurance as he dives into how supporting your circadian rhythm, especially through sun exposure, can profoundly impact melatonin production. He shares insights on the power of sungazing, nitric oxide's critical role, and even melatonin's surprising benefits in detoxifying the brain. Plus, Dr. Lieurance speaks about his journey in developing advanced cranial treatments and stem cell therapies that span decades, incorporating innovative techniques from around the world, including regenerative medicine with adipose-derived stem cells that offer groundbreaking potential for conditions like tinnitus, hearing loss, and orthopedic injuries.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Rachel Brown & Ally Houston. Rachel is a consultant psychiatrist and functional & metabolic practitioner, while Ally is a Metabolic mental health coach trained by PreKure and Dr Georgia Ede. Rachel and Ally both work as a coach in MetPsy, empowering people with mental illness to use proven diet and lifestyle techniques to heal themselves. They offer Coaching programs for your mental health, no matter where you are in the world.  Dr Rachel started her Atkins diet when a family friend introduced it. Over the year, Dr Rachel suffered from sugar addiction. This made her stray from a low-carb diet and instead go to more intuitive eating programs. Not just did it not help her with her addiction, but it left the worst experience for her to remember. Eventually, Dr Rachel managed to go back to a low-carb diet, keto, and more animal-based nutrition. Keto helps her restore her relationship with the foods.  Ally suffered from food addiction. Even though his mom cooks delicious and nutritious foods, he still eats cereals, causing the root of his food addiction. For some reason, his weight did not become a problem until he was in his late 20s when he realized his poor metabolic health. Because of his addiction, Ally had several autoimmune diseases. He goes through the conventional way of healing, which only worsens his disease. Ultimately, all of his autoimmune diseases were gone when he changed to a keto diet.  In this episode, Dr Rachel and Ally shared how mental health problems and gut microbiome are related. They also discuss the three primary reasons for you having a leaky gut. Furthermore, they discuss why you should not just believe in evidence-based medicine. And lastly, Ally and Dr Rachel discuss why it is best to do your research. Tune in as we chat about mental stress, gut microbiome health, evidence-based medicine, and research.

[18:49] How Are Mental Health Problems and the Gut Microbiome Connected? -       Gastrointestinal microorganisms are involved because they generate neurotransmitters and produce other metabolites that communicate, such as short-chain fatty acids. -       Interaction between a wheat, protein and Zonulin component opens up tight junctions, causing leaky gut in everyone, not just celiac disease patients. -       LPS can activate immunological resident immune cells in the brain known as microglia. And then, you start a self-perpetuating loop in which immune cells in the brain generate more inflammatory cytokines and free radicals, resulting in oxidative stress and inflammation. -       Whatever happens in the gut occurs in the brain and vice versa. [23:51] 3 Lifestyle Behaviors That Cause Leaky Gut! -       Diet is the top cause of a leaky gut. -       We must be cautious of what we put into our body since it will come into contact with our gut lining and have various effects. -       Stress is the second reason you have a leaky gut because it increases intestinal permeability. -       Alcohol is the third leading cause. [26:04] How Mental Stress Creates Havoc Inside Your Gut Microbiome -       There is brain-to-gut signaling when taking in different sensory perceptions, such as watching or listening to negative news from various sources all the time. -       It's possible that stress is triggering our leaky gut. It's also possible that when stressed, we're compelled to eat in ways that aren't good for our gut. -       The tight junction system is also found in breastfeeding women, which is why casein is potentially such a massive concern for persons with autoimmune, gut difficulties, or with mental health issues. -       Information about the microbiome is still lacking. -       Managing gluten, stress, and dairy can help you have a healthy microbiome. [37:11] Do You Only Believe in Evidence-Based Medicine? Here’s What You Need to Know  -       If we take the research literature as a whole, there's publication bias that comes with it. -       The vast majority of information on diet evidence is based on associational data that does not establish one thing or the other and is flawed due to confounding factors within the populations studied. -       Imagine discovering that the truth of a subject contradicts what your academic parent, someone you care about, disagrees with. This is the most serious conflict of interest in science. -       The notion that there is one science, one evidence-based medicine, is equally absurd because practically any subject can be found where someone from Oxford and someone from Harvard are opposed. [44:28] Research and Lab Work: How to Find an Approach That Works For You -       It is highly recommended to do your research, not just blindly believe anything somebody might be saying. -        Dr Rachel also does her research on triglyceride to HDL ratio. -       Ally does a Mcdonald’s experiment wherein he only eats a huge amount of food at Mcdonald's for a month.

Today, I am blessed to have Caroline Alan here with me again. Coming from a career in the corporate world, Caroline Alan found herself struggling physically, mentally, and energetically. As a woman juggling career, motherhood, and the multitude of expectations placed on a professional woman, she was repeatedly told that her issues were “just normal.” Thankfully, she refused to accept that answer. During her journey back to health, Caroline encountered plant-based minerals and their incredible ability to support a return to natural balance in the body. As a result, she has become devoted to educating people about the benefits of mineral replenishment and the specific efficacy of plant-based humic and fulvic substances. Caroline’s research into why minerals are important in human physiology and how they work in the body has taken her deep into microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, agricultural soil science and the study of plant decomposition. In the process, Caroline has found ways to help others understand the effects of mineral depletion and why plant-based humic and fulvic mineral supplementation support healing and optimal health. In this episode, we discuss the discourse surrounding mineral deficiency and its multifaceted impacts on human health, unveiling a complex interplay between environmental factors, agricultural practices, and dietary habits. We cover soil depletion, wherein the extraction of minerals by plants for growth and their incomplete return to the soil upon harvesting perpetuates a cycle of diminishing mineral content in our food supply.  Plus, Caroline chats about the ubiquitous presence of glyphosate, a pervasive herbicide in modern agriculture, which exacerbates this challenge by compromising mineral absorption in the body, particularly in conjunction with aluminum exposure. In response to these concerns, emerging solutions harness the power of plant-based minerals, specifically fulvic and humic substances, derived from the ancient decomposition of freshwater plants. Unlike conventional single-mineral supplements, which often disrupt the body's delicate balance, these holistic mineral solutions offer enhanced bioavailability and effectiveness. By elucidating the origins and properties of plant-based minerals, we gain insight into their unique capacity to address mineral deficiency and promote holistic approaches to health and wellness.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [04:15] Unearthing the Roots of Mineral Deficiency The primary reason for mineral deficiency is the depletion of minerals in the soil where plants grow. This depletion occurs because plants extract minerals from the soil for their growth, but when these plants are harvested and not returned to the soil, they are not replenished. Over time, this leads to a decrease in the mineral content of our food. Many people rely on filtered or bottled water for drinking, which often lacks essential minerals. While some bottled waters may have minerals added back in, most filtered water removes minerals during the purification process, contributing to mineral deficiency in the diet. Glyphosate, a common herbicide used in agriculture, poses a significant challenge to mineral absorption in the body. It is sprayed on crops, particularly grains, and can leach into the food supply.  Despite awareness of mineral deficiency, many people lack knowledge about effective methods to replenish minerals in their bodies. The use of ineffective supplements further exacerbates this issue, as they fail to address the body's mineral needs adequately. [09:15] Glyphosate-Aluminum Nexus: Understanding the Interplay and Implications Aluminum is highly prevalent in the environment and virtually unavoidable daily. It exists everywhere; even basic activities like breathing expose individuals to aluminum. While aluminum is abundant, the concern lies in its bioavailability within the body. Glyphosate, a common herbicide, exacerbates this issue by binding with aluminum molecules, increasing their bioavailability. This can lead to aluminum accumulation in tissues, particularly in the pineal gland, and contribute to cognitive and nervous system issues. Glyphosate mimics the structure of the amino acid glycine, which allows it to be absorbed into tissues as if it were glycine. This mechanism further enhances the body's uptake of aluminum, exacerbating its harmful effects. Plant-based fulvic and humic substances offer a solution for remediating glyphosate exposure. These substances have the potential to counteract the effects of glyphosate and reduce the bioavailability of aluminum, thereby mitigating its adverse impacts on health. [12:50] Glyphosate's Persistence: Humic Molecules as a Natural Shield Against Environmental Contamination Despite regulatory measures such as bans, glyphosate remains pervasive in the environment. Studies have shown that a significant portion of the population, including 80% of individuals in France, have glyphosate in their urine, highlighting the extent of exposure. Glyphosate operates as a full systemic herbicide, meaning it permeates the entire plant and can subsequently enter the human body through consumption. Once consumed, glyphosate is excreted in urine, contaminating water sources through sewage. Plant-based minerals, specifically humic molecules, offer a promising solution for mitigating glyphosate's harmful effects. Humic molecules possess remarkable properties, such as binding with glyphosate molecules to form a biofilm. This biofilm facilitates the breakdown of glyphosate, rendering it less harmful and recognizable as a toxin by the body. With its ability to neutralize glyphosate and eliminate it from the body, the humic molecule serves as a natural remedy for combating glyphosate exposure. By leveraging the remedial properties of humic substances, individuals can reduce the adverse impacts of glyphosate on their health. [16:50] Reconsidering Single Mineral Supplements: Embracing Balance in the Body's Natural Ecosystem A wide array of single mineral supplements are available on the market, ranging from chromium to potassium to zinc and selenium. These supplements are often purchased without understanding their purpose or necessity. Minerals work synergistically in the body, often forming balanced pairs or groups of three. When single mineral supplements are consumed in isolation, they disrupt this delicate balance, potentially leading to imbalances within the body. The human body operates like a natural ecosystem, constantly striving to maintain balance and harmony. When exposed to excessive amounts of a particular mineral, the body reacts by attempting to restore equilibrium, much like a lush forest struggling to cope with an influx of excess nutrients. Instead of viewing the body as a machine that requires specific inputs to function optimally, it's more accurate to perceive it as a dynamic and intricate system that thrives on balance and moderation. This paradigm shift underscores the importance of holistic approaches to health and wellness. [31:00] Optimizing Mineral Absorption: The Synergy of Fulvic and Humic Products for Enhanced Bioavailability and Immediate Relief Combining fulvic and humic products creates a multi-mineral solution that enhances bioavailability and effectiveness. Fulvic plays a crucial role in keeping humic wholly suspended in the solution. By altering its polarity and maintaining a specific pH range, fulvic prevents the humic from settling at the bottom of the bottle, ensuring uniform distribution and ease of consumption. Unlike pills, powders, or flavored drinks that require digestion before absorption, mineral solutions like these are 100% bioavailable upon consumption. This means they can be absorbed directly through the mucous membranes of the mouth, esophagus, and throat, providing rapid access to the bloodstream and cellular assimilation. Athletes experiencing cramps or depletion during races can quickly benefit from mineral solutions. [48:00] Nutritional Balance and Plant-Based Minerals A balanced approach to nutrition, including sufficient amino acids, is crucial for overall health. Plant-based minerals, specifically fulvic and humic substances, are not derived directly from ground-up plants. Instead, they originate from the decomposition of ancient rainforests, particularly freshwater plants, millions of years ago. This natural process forms fulvic and humic substances with unique mineral delivery and detoxification capacities. Fulvic and humic substances offer a comprehensive mineral solution with unique cellular absorption and detoxification benefits.  Understanding the origins and properties of plant-based minerals helps clarify their distinct advantages compared to other mineral sources.

Today, I am blessed to have Josh Dech here with me. He has a deep understanding of the gut-brain connection. He is an ex-paramedic, and Holistic Nutritionist, specializing in gut health. It was the successes his clients have had with complex digestive diseases, previously thought to be impossible, that got him connected to some of the world’s most renowned doctors. Since then, he’s been recruited to the Priority Health Academy as a medical lecturer, helping educate doctors on the holistic approach to gut health, and complex digestive issues. Gut health is known to be connected to mental health, emotions, sleep, productivity, concentration, hormones, inflammation, sickness, detoxification, cravings, relationships and more.

This results in nutrient-depleted soil and artificial food consumption, contributing to the rise of modern diseases. -       Josh warns about the consequences of destroying our microbiomes through factors like stress, overuse of antibiotics, and poor dietary choices. This destruction leads to imbalances within the gut ecosystem, causing health issues and disease. [10:55] Reconsidering Cesarean Sections and Birth Interventions for Newborn Health -       Josh highlights the increasing prevalence of cesarean sections and the potential implications for the newborn's microbiome. -       He emphasizes the importance of natural birth processes and cautions against unnecessary interventions that disrupt this natural seeding of microbes. -       Beyond the gut microbiome, Josh emphasizes the significance of other microbiomes in the body, such as those in the oral cavity, rectum, vagina, skin, scalp, and sinuses. He likens these microbiomes to neighborhoods within a city, stressing their interconnectedness and communication with the immune system and gut. -       Josh discusses how medical interventions during birth, such as cesarean sections and sterile environments, can disrupt the natural microbial seeding process. Instead of acquiring beneficial microbes from the birth canal, newborns may be exposed to artificial environments, potentially affecting their long-term health. -       Drawing on historical practices, Josh contrasts modern medical interventions with ancient birthing methods, such as squatting positions favored by ancient Egyptians. He suggests that while medical advancements have improved outcomes in some areas, they may also have unintended consequences, such as alterations to the newborn microbiome. [28:35] Plant Power: Rethinking Medicine Beyond Pharmaceuticals -       Josh advocates for using plants as medicinal agents, highlighting their potential benefits compared to pharmaceuticals. -       He acknowledges that while pharmaceuticals have their place, they often come with side effects, whereas plants can offer therapeutic effects with fewer adverse reactions. -       Josh suggests that, aside from efficacy, factors such as financial interests may influence the preference for pharmaceuticals over plant-based treatments. -       He implies that economic motivations within the healthcare industry could hinder the widespread adoption of plant-based medicine. [37:50] Gut Integrity: Understanding Leaky Gut and Its Impact on Health -       Josh explains the concept of a leaky gut, where the cells lining the intestines become inflamed and develop gaps, allowing substances to leak out into the bloodstream. -       He describes a leaky gut as a defense mechanism initially aimed at flushing out harmful substances, but prolonged inflammation can lead to bi-directional leakage, allowing toxins and pathogens to enter the bloodstream. -       He emphasizes that inflammation, including leaky gut, is a natural response of the body to heal and protect itself. However, chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues, including gastrointestinal disorders like Crohn's disease, colitis, and severe IBS. -       Josh highlights the potential consequences of a leaky gut, such as the circulation of endotoxins or lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the bloodstream. These toxins can contribute to food sensitivities, immune dysregulation, and systemic inflammation, leading to various health issues. [40:25] Deciphering Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease -       Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): Josh highlights the prevalence of NAFLD, often attributed to factors like consumption of corn syrups and junk food, as well as inflammation. -       He explains how the liver's efforts to detoxify can be overwhelmed by these toxins, leading to fat accumulation in the liver and impaired function. -       Impaired liver function can result in difficulties digesting fats, leading to symptoms like oily stools and diarrhea due to inadequate breakdown and absorption. Malabsorption can further promote inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, creating a vicious cycle. -       Josh discusses how imbalances in enzymes like beta-glucuronidase can contribute to hormonal issues and gut problems. [44:50] The Truth About Stomach Acid: A Holistic Approach to Digestive Health -       Josh emphasizes the critical role of stomach acid in digestion and overall health. -       Contrary to common belief, he points out that he has never encountered a case of excess stomach acid in his extensive experience working with clients. -       He explains that acid reflux often occurs not due to excessive stomach acid but rather due to stress, eating too quickly, nutrient deficiencies, or improper digestion. -       Taking antacids to suppress acid reflux can exacerbate the problem by further reducing stomach acid production. -       Josh advocates for addressing the root cause of digestive issues rather than just treating symptoms. He emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing the underlying dysfunction, whether it's low stomach acid, acid reflux, fatty liver, or other conditions.

[10:05] Your Health is Your Wealth ·       Conventional medicine in America is often called "health care," but it's "sick care" because it only focuses on treating symptoms and doesn't teach people how to be healthy. ·       Wake Up and Aikido camp teaches people how to be healthy and is an example of health care. ·       Eating clean and caring for your body is important for optimal health and can lead to a smaller, less leaky gut with fewer toxins seeping through. ·       It's okay to occasionally eat less healthy foods if your gut is healthy and able to handle it. ·       The goal is progress, not perfection, and developing metabolic flexibility is important for long-term health. [17:15] What to Look For When Buying Red Meat  ·       Labels on meat products can be misleading and is often a selling tactic. ·       Consumers should be aware of the terms used, such as "natural," "no hormones," "no antibiotics," "grass-fed," "vegetarian fed," etc. ·       Most cows are fed inflammatory foods like grains, which can lead to health problems for the cows and the consumers who eat their meat. ·       Some cows are even fed candy bars to fatten them up for more profit. ·       High-quality meat is important for better nutrition and anti-inflammatory properties. ·       Grass-fed and finished is the best option, as it means the cow has eaten grass from start to finish of its life. [22:05] The Worst Artificial Sweeteners vs The Best Sugar Replacements Some inflammatory artificial sweeteners are sucralose and brown rice syrup. At the same time, some recommended sugar replacements are Coconut Sugar (less refined, lower glycemic index), Pure Maple Syrup, Non-GMO Monkfruit, Dates (and date syrup), and Raw Honey.  ·   Brown rice syrup may be perceived as healthy but is often found in products with other inflammatory ingredients. ·       The recommended sugar replacements are less refined and often have better nutritional value than artificial sweeteners. ·       Stevia is disliked due to the harsh chemicals used to extract it, which can cause gut disruption for some people. ·       Monk fruit is a better alternative, as it has a zero glycemic index and does not cause the same issues as stevia. ·   Many people have noticed positive digestion and overall health changes after eliminating stevia from their diets. [28:50] Is Oatmeal Actually Healthy For You? ·   Oats can be considered in the gray area of healthy foods due to their pros and cons. ·       Most oats are sprayed with glyphosate, a pesticide that promotes inflammation and can harm health. ·       Oats are high in phytic acid, an anti-nutrient that prevents the body from absorbing necessary nutrients. ·       Too much phytic acid can lead to gut issues, inflammation, arthritis, and brain fog. ·       Organic and sprouted oats are better options for consuming oats. [47:55] The Top 5 Most Commonly Asked Questions About Food Labels ·       Consume high-quality protein from grass-fed beef, mackerel, and fish instead of relying on protein bars. Read the labels on coffee creamers carefully and choose cleaner options like Three Trees almond milk, which contains only water and almonds, cashews, or walnuts. Eating real, whole foods to improve health and well-being. Notice how certain foods make you feel and adjust your diet accordingly. Liposomal vitamin C is better absorbed into the body and can be more effective than traditional vitamin C supplements. Many people avoid bread while dieting, but it's not necessary. However, keep in mind to avoid grains and pseudo-grains. AND MUCH MORE!

I am blessed to have Dr. Rob Vasquez and Dr. Randy Johns here with me today. The Happy Healthy Guys are all about teaching people TRUE Health principles to help people live a Happy Healthy Life! After Johns recovered from late-stage cancer via integrative means, the two came together to become lifestyle entrepreneurs with the goal of empowering and equipping people with the tools necessary to live a happy, healthy life. The duo travels all over the country speaking and educating both regular people and doctors, informing them how to best take care of the body among all the confusion about what constitutes “healthy,” from nutrition and exercise to treating disease. In this episode, we cover weight loss and metabolism with Dr. Rob Vasquez and Dr. Randy Johns; they explain how health transcends the traditional understanding of calorie counting. In their exploration, they shed light on the multifaceted nature of metabolic health in modern society, emphasizing the influence of dietary quality, environmental toxins, and personalized interventions. Driven by their experiences and professional insights, they challenge the prevailing narrative by advocating for a deeper understanding of metabolic dysfunction and the necessity of prioritizing health over mere weight loss. Their holistic approach offers a paradigm shift towards sustainable wellness and lasting metabolic balance, redefining how we perceive and pursue health in contemporary life. 🥑 Get your Keto Recipe of the Week here:  http://www.ketokamprecipes.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

They point out a historical shift in eating habits, noting that despite consuming fewer calories and less red meat compared to earlier times, obesity rates have skyrocketed. This challenges the notion that weight gain is solely a result of excessive calorie intake. The abundance of gyms and the emphasis on physical activity in modern society have not correlated with decreased obesity rates. Despite the availability of exercise facilities, people are still struggling with weight management, indicating that other factors are at play beyond simply "moving more." Dr. Vasquez and Dr. Johns discuss the widespread prevalence of metabolic dysfunction in today's population. They argue that this dysfunction, influenced by various factors, including diet and environmental toxins, significantly impacts both weight and overall health and quality of life. This suggests a need for a deeper understanding of metabolism beyond conventional approaches to weight management. [12:30] Metabolic Mastery: Prioritizing Health over Weight Loss Dr. Rob Vasquez and Dr. Randy Johns emphasize the importance of understanding why metabolism is dysfunctional in the first place.  Rather than focusing solely on weight loss, they advocate for uncovering the underlying reasons behind metabolic issues. They highlight the necessity of designing a personalized blueprint for each individual based on their unique metabolic needs. This contrasts with the one-size-fits-all approach often promoted in conventional weight loss programs. They argue that becoming healthy should precede losing weight, challenging the notion that weight loss automatically equates to improved health. Dr. Vasquez and Dr. Johns suggest reframing the question from "How do I lose weight?" to "How do I heal my metabolism?" This shift in perspective acknowledges the importance of addressing metabolic health as a precursor to successful weight management, providing individuals with a more straightforward path to long-term success. [24:20] Nurturing Gut Health and Personalized Interventions for Lasting Wellness Dr. Rob Vasquez and Dr. Randy Johns prioritize addressing gut health as a foundational step in reawakening the metabolism.  They introduce short-chain triglyceride (SCT) oil to support gut function, recognizing that many individuals' gut biomes are compromised due to poor dietary habits. The next phase involves retraining the metabolism through specific nutritional interventions tailored to each individual's metabolic needs. This approach includes personalized dietary recommendations and supplementation to address metabolic disruptors and promote cellular health. Once the metabolism has been retrained, the focus shifts to resetting it to prevent regression. Individuals can lock in their progress and maintain their newfound metabolic balance by creating an environment conducive to sustained metabolic health. [28:30] Metabolic Imbalances: The Hidden Impact of Seed Oil Consumption Despite outward appearances of health, individuals may still experience metabolic imbalances due to factors like seed oil consumption.  Even seemingly healthy individuals, such as yoga practitioners, can experience internal issues that necessitate intervention. The ubiquity of seed oil in worldwide cuisine poses a significant health concern. Dr. Vasquez and Dr. Johns discuss encountering seed oil usage in Vietnam and European countries like Italy. They emphasize the need to detoxify the body from these harmful oils to support metabolic health. As part of their protocol, the doctors focus on detoxifying individuals from seed oils, which have a long half-life and can adversely affect metabolic function. They underscore the importance of addressing these hidden toxins in tissues to restore optimal metabolic balance and overall health. [36:20] From Struggle to Healing: Dr. Rob Vasquez's Journey to Metabolic Wellness Dr. Rob Vasquez shares his lifelong struggle with weight, starting from his teenage years when he significantly reduced his weight through extreme dieting, which ultimately damaged his metabolism. As a chiropractor, Dr. Vasquez initially advocated for conventional weight loss methods, such as calorie reduction and increased exercise, reflecting common beliefs at the time. Following a severe injury that left him unable to exercise, Dr. Vasquez experienced a significant weight gain despite maintaining a healthy diet, highlighting the limitations of traditional weight loss approaches. Dr. Vasquez's journey took a transformative turn when he learned about the metabolic component of chronic illness and applied protocols aimed at metabolic healing, resulting in significant weight loss, reduced inflammation, and improved overall health. This experience transformed his life and influenced his professional approach to helping others achieve lasting wellness. [41:30] Metabolic Awakening: Dr. Johns' Journey from Denial to Holistic Healing Dr. Johns initially dismissed the signs of his late-stage cancer, attributing them to something benign.  His reluctance to acknowledge the severity of the situation allowed the cancer to progress unchecked, emphasizing the importance of early detection and proactive healthcare. Reflecting on his lifestyle choices, Dr. Johns recognized that he was neglecting fundamental principles of metabolic health. His adherence to a bodybuilding diet rich in protein and frequent meals, excessive sun exposure, and the use of sunscreen and fish oil likely contributed to his metabolic imbalance, underscoring the significance of holistic wellness practices. Dr. Johns underwent a profound shift in perspective regarding health and disease. Instead of viewing cancer as solely a disease to be eradicated, he came to understand it as a symptom of underlying metabolic dysfunction. This realization led him to pursue treatments focused on restoring metabolic balance rather than solely targeting the cancer cells, highlighting the importance of addressing root causes.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Matt Halpert. He has a doctorate in immunology, with a specific focus on inflammation and microbiology and the way the immune system operates and should operate. Dr Matt spent 10 years in the Texas Medical Center predominantly at Baylor College of Medicine, as an academic researcher, focused on cancer and cancer immunotherapy.  With regard to how the immune system functions, its physiology, how it goes about identifying a threat, whether that threat is a virus or cancer, and how that immune system can then be essentially reprogrammed or correctly directed toward fighting that threat, the research team Dr Matt was with made what we now know to be an extremely important discovery.  In this episode, Dr Matt speaks about immunotherapy to fight against cancer. He will also share about Immunocine Cancer Center, which provides one of the most advanced Cancer Immunotherapies available. They are supported by academic studies and several clinical studies which makes them unique from any other cancer treatment centre. Tune in as we chat about the difference in your immune system when you’re younger and as an adult, using the immune system to fight off cancer, how stress can weaken your immune system, dendritic cells, and how can you support your immune system.

Chemotherapy would be analogous to putting a bomb on a building knowing there are bad guys (cancer) inside in the hopes of taking out all of the bad guys, but with the added risk of causing collateral damage. Even if it isn't shown on the scan, the bad guys are still there if you don't get them all. Relapse is undoubtedly a possibility in the future. Using the immune system and immunotherapy is a little more like using the Navy SEALs to go into the building and very specifically identify and eliminate those threats rather than the widespread destruction. If we're going to get to cures, it's going to be in the space of immunotherapy and rearming the immune system.  Our immune system, also known as our defense system, constantly guards against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens, including cancer. Dendritic cells are a type of immune cell that runs the whole system. They are the generals of the immune system army.  [16:09] Why does the immune system lose its understanding? We tend to break down more frequently as we get older, our health tends to weaken, and we don't bounce back as quickly. That is a clear external reality, but there is also an inside reality. Mutations take longer to fix.  You need to have adequate movement each day. You need to exercise. When we are young, we are generally always on the move. As we age, we spend a lot more time sitting down and we don't try to exercise every day. Therefore, despite the immune system's potential strength, your body is no longer benefiting from it as quickly as it could.  [28:48] The First Cancer Treatment to Maximize the Immune System Immunocine Cancer Center send people a dozen or two dozen publications about dendritic cells and their role in cancer. That is their own science. They’re not hiding from mainstream medicine, it just takes time.  They gathered the ideal group of medical professionals, including oncologists, radiologists, hematologists, and scientists. In addition, they have a cleanroom lab that complies with FDA regulations, where each patient's customized immunotherapy is created.  What they can do is reprogram your immune response to get going and get fighting. Instead of working in a lab, their scientists take a sample of the tumor and analyze it to find its protein library and very particular RNA components. The measures they followed to transform the blood cells into the appropriate type of dendritic cells over the course of a week are what make their technique so special.  They give you a legitimately unique, strong immune response that actually does ramp up and start fighting cancer. [58:36] Does immunotherapy works for all types of cancer? Here's what you need to know! As of today, Immunocine Cancer Center are not treating hematological malignancies, which are blood cancers, and heart cancers, and they're not treating brain cancers. They can treat a lot of cancers. It can be in conjunction with other treatment approaches.  AND MUCH MORE!

When you are metabolically challenged, you significantly increase the chances of the following conditions: — Heart disease — Cancer — Diabetes — Strokes — Alzheimer’s — Parkinson’s — Autoimmune disease(s) The top 5️ causes of metabolic disruption that I outlined during my talk were: Environment Toxins Also called obesogens and diabetogens. I shared alarming research that the average person eats a credit card’s worth of plastic each week (5 grams), how toxins create fat cells, and the dangers of silver amalgam fillings. Adulterated Seed Oils I showed research on these oxidized fats staying inside of our bodies for 2-5 years! I made the case that we have seen an increase with disease that tracks closely with the increase of these rancid fats in our diet. Glyphosate I shared research from Stephanie Seneff (MIT) and Nancy Swanson on glyphosate causing heavy metals to enter deeper inside our tissues and bones. I also showed strong correlations between the application of glyphosate and specific diseases. High Glucose and Insulin Spikes I shared stats on the average American eating up to 23 times per day while consuming 300 grams of carbs daily. This is a fast path toward insulin resistance and diabetes. Sick Care I exposed big Pharma for selling us sickness, and even worse, creating sickness. Bonus Tip: Your thoughts. You can create health or disease with your thoughts. Of course, I shared research on Vitamin G too. :D “Human beings are the only species smart enough to create their own food, and dumb enough to eat it.” —Ben Azadi Unlock the secret to revitalize your metabolism and reclaim your vitality!

This results in a slowed metabolism and a ramping up of defense mechanisms. -       The level of T3 hormone inside the cell plays a crucial role in regulating this shift towards defense mode. -       Dr. Balcavage introduces the concept of "thyroid allostasis," wherein thyroid hormone regulation differs from the typical pattern. He suggests that individuals with chronic health issues often exhibit this altered regulation, which may manifest as tissue hypothyroidism as an adaptive response. [10:00] Redefining Thyroid Recovery: Medication Dependency and Natural Healing -       Dr. Balcavage challenges the notion that the thyroid gland is unlikely to recover once someone is on thyroid medication. -       He believes that many people are prescribed medication prematurely and that for those who genuinely need it, there's often potential to reduce medication dosage over time. -       He observes that many of his patients can gradually reduce their thyroid medication dosage and even stop taking it altogether. -       Some individuals who have been on medication for years or even after a complete thyroidectomy have experienced a decrease in their medication needs. -       Dr. Balcavage emphasizes the body's remarkable capacity for healing and adaptation. [13:50] The Role of Thyroid Hormone in Mitochondrial Function and Adaptation to Stress -       When a cell perceives danger or a drop in energy, it initiates a response aimed at self-preservation. This includes stiffening the cell membrane to limit the transport of substances in and out of the cell. -       In response to perceived threats, cells adaptively down-regulate their manufacturing processes to minimize the production of substances that could benefit potential threats, such as amino acids and peptides. -       The thyroid hormone is crucial in driving mitochondrial function and is essential for converting food energy into cellular energy. However, continued stimulation of mitochondrial function during cellular stress can produce excessive free radicals. -       Excessive free radicals and limited antioxidant production due to decreased nutrient availability and down-regulated mitochondrial function can result in oxidative stress and cellular damage. To counteract this, the body adaptively down-regulates mitochondrial function and cellular activity, leading to symptoms such as fatigue and decreased energy levels. [21:00] Embracing Dietary Diversity: A Holistic Approach to Thyroid Health and Nutrition -       Dr. Balcavage emphasizes the importance of consuming a diverse range of whole foods, including animal- and plant-based sources. -       He suggests that there isn't necessarily one "best" food for thyroid health but instead encourages a balanced approach with various nutrient-rich foods. -       Dr. Balcavage contrasts allopathic thinking, which may focus on strict dietary restrictions based on specific food categories, with a more holistic approach that prioritizes whole foods and individual tolerance. -       He rejects labeling entire food groups as inherently harmful and instead encourages listening to one's body and consuming a balanced diet. [31:00] Thyroid Function Complexity: Ketogenic Diets and Optimal Thyroid Health -       Dr. Balcavage acknowledges the complexity of cellular function and challenges the notion that adopting a ketogenic diet necessarily leads to a lower T3 state. -       He suggests that cellular hypothyroidism and challenges with glucose regulation may impact the body's ability to burn fats efficiently. -       He questions the "optimal ranges" for thyroid hormones and suggests that individual variation and context should be considered when interpreting lab results. -       Dr. Balcavage emphasizes the importance of understanding thyroid function's nuances rather than strictly adhering to predetermined ranges. [38:40] An Approach to Stool Test Analysis and Gut Health Restoration -       Dr. Balcavage emphasizes the importance of interpreting stool test results individually rather than applying generalized labels such as "good" or "bad." -       Factors like an individual's overall health status and specific symptoms must be considered. -       He suggests elevated markers on stool tests, such as formic acid, may not always indicate an adverse health outcome. Contextual factors, such as an individual's weight status or dietary habits, must be considered to interpret these findings accurately. -       He advocates addressing underlying factors contributing to dysbiosis and immune dysfunction rather than solely focusing on symptom management. Factors such as stomach acid production, bile flow, pancreatic enzyme output, and overall immune function should be assessed and supported to restore gut health effectively.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Obi Obadike. He is the current Telly Award-winning TV co-host of a national syndicated health TV show called Lifestyle Magazine over the last 4 seasons. And he has won 3 Telly Awards associated with that show as a TV host. Obadike was a top Division I collegiate track athlete at Cal State Fullerton, where he was the school record holder in the 100 and 200 meters as well as the 400-meter relay. He was also co-athlete of the year at the university and a two-time All Big West Conference sprinter. He was the fastest guy in the history of the university. He holds B.A/B.S and M.S degrees and is a certified nutritionist specialist and certified trainer with ISSA. He has been a writer and contributor for fitness magazines and sites such as Muscle and Fitness, Bodybuilding.com, AskMen.com, Sharecare.com,  LiveStrong,  Shape, Oxygen, and many others.

This comprehensive assessment forms the foundation for creating a tailored program that ensures safety and effectiveness. -       He highlights the potential dangers of not collecting this information, as it could lead to prescribing exercises that are inappropriate or even harmful to the client. For instance, someone with a history of knee or back surgery may be at risk if they are assigned exercises like squats or deadlifts without proper consideration. -       Obi underscores the coach's responsibility to ensure their client's safety and well-being. By taking pride in not having any injuries under his supervision, he emphasizes the importance of being thorough and attentive to each client's needs. -       Lastly, Obi touches upon the ethical dimension of coaching. He suggests that failure to gather essential information and tailor programs accordingly is akin to "stealing money" from clients, as they are not receiving the personalized guidance they paid for. [16:00] Redefining Bodybuilding: The Evolution, Risks, and Health Considerations -       Obi discusses how bodybuilding has evolved from simply building one's body to an extreme pursuit characterized by intense exercise regimens, excessive dieting, and water depletion before competitions. -       He highlights this extreme lifestyle's negative impact on overall health, including cognitive and cardiovascular function. -       Despite the goal of achieving the best physique, Obi argues that bodybuilding is contradictory to optimal health. He emphasizes the toll it takes on the body, especially with the use of performance-enhancing drugs, which can lead to organ enlargement and irreversible damage. -       Obi urges individuals interested in bodybuilding to consider the risk versus reward aspect carefully. While the allure of fame and success may be enticing, he stresses the importance of evaluating whether sacrificing years of one's life and risking long-term health consequences is genuinely worth it. [21:55] Dumbbell-Based Workouts and Injury-Smart Alternatives -       Obi advocates using dumbbells over other equipment, citing their ability to provide a free range of motion and better muscle-shaping potential. -       He believes exercises like flat dumbbell chest presses and dumbbell squat calf raises are practical for building and shaping muscle. -       While acknowledging the popularity of the bench press, Obi expresses concerns about its potential to cause shoulder injuries. He suggests opting for alternatives like flat dumbbell chest presses to reduce the risk of injury while effectively targeting the chest muscles. -       Obi emphasizes the importance of focusing on triceps training to improve arm shape, as the triceps make up two-thirds of the arm. He recommends exercises like bench dips for targeting and shaping the triceps effectively. -       Obi suggests incorporating exercises like wall sits and T-bar rows into workout routines. He praises wall sits for their simplicity and effectiveness, especially when combined with dumbbells for added resistance. He highlights T-bar rows as an excellent exercise for targeting the back muscles. [29:00] Workout Timing and Energy Management -       Obi recommends doing cardio after weight training rather than before. -       He explains that cardio before weight training can deplete energy levels and affect strength during the weightlifting session. However, if cardio must be done before weight training on the same day, he suggests allowing a couple of hours for recovery between the two workouts. -       While there's a common belief that fasted cardio promotes more significant fat loss, Obi highlights that studies have not consistently shown significant differences in fat loss between fasted and non-fasted cardio sessions. -       He suggests that if doing cardio in the morning on an empty stomach, it's beneficial to at least have a protein shake beforehand to sustain energy levels. [44:00] Striking the Balance: Muscle Growth and Recovery -       Obi emphasizes the importance of balancing muscle growth's breakdown and recovery phases. -       He explains that while it's crucial to challenge muscles through intense workouts, adequate recovery time is equally essential for optimal growth and strength maintenance. -       Proper recovery plays a vital role in maintaining muscle mass and strength levels. -       He highlights the importance of understanding the scientific aspects of exercise, including muscle recovery, to optimize training routines. [54:20] Health: The True Wealth - Obi's Perspective on Gratitude and Priorities -       Obi expresses deep gratitude for his health, emphasizing that it extends beyond aesthetics. -       He highlights the importance of being healthy and functional, acknowledging the blessings of walking, sleeping, and moving without health complications. -       He urges listeners not to take their health for granted, recognizing that individuals are battling life-threatening conditions in intensive care units. -       Obi underscores the value of health over material wealth, emphasizing that money can be earned, but health cannot be bought.

It's a pleasure to welcome Dr. Chris Knobbe back to the show. He is a physician, ophthalmologist, nutrition researcher, author, speaker, public health advocate, and the founder of two nonprofit organizations: Ancestral Health Foundation and Cure AMD Foundation. Since 2015, Dr. Knobbe has given scores of presentations and achieved international academic recognition for his work on the dangers of highly polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Dr. Knobbe’s goals are altruistic and humanitarian; he accepts no compensation for his work in this field. In this episode, Dr. Knobbe argues that seed oils are hazardous, contributing significantly to obesity and chronic diseases. He explains that the high Omega-6 fatty acid content in these oils accumulates in our body fat and cell membranes, creating a pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory environment. This oxidative stress, rather than inflammation, is the primary issue, leading to cellular damage, particularly in mitochondria, which disrupts energy production. Tune in as Dr. Knobbe argues that diabetes prevalence isn't primarily linked to sugar consumption, contrary to common belief. He highlights historical data showing minimal correlation between sugar intake and diabetes rates, noting that while sugar intake increased modestly, diabetes rates skyrocketed. Instead, he points to the dramatic rise in vegetable oil consumption, describing these oils as chronic metabolic poisons that cause insulin resistance by damaging mitochondria through oxidative stress.

The problem is when this map of reality is not consistent with your goals, then you need to evaluate your beliefs and then start to change them subconsciously. ·       The inductive mind is the creative mind that imprints information into the subconscious mind and looks for coincidences with the idea. ·       The inductive mind is the creative mind, and the subconscious mind is the set goal. The reticular activating system is an area in our mind that opens up when we focus on something, allowing us to see things that were not there before. [22:29] The Impact of Food Consumption on Our Conscious and Subconscious Mind. ·       Social influences on food intake refer to the impact that one or more persons have on the eating behavior of others, either direct (buying food) or indirect (learning from peer's behavior), either conscious (transfer of beliefs) or subconscious. ·       Observation and food consumption elicit positive affective responses, stimulating food intake. It revealed that the observation and consumption of food activate brain regions related to affective processing. ·       When we have enough energy, conscious deliberation enables us to make good decisions. The unconscious, on the other hand, seems to operate fine with low energy. [28:35] Fix Your Circadian Rhythm to Lose Weight ·       A nucleus is an area in the brain behind the eyes responsible for telling the time. When the sun releases blue light, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters, such as melatonin, which is the one that leads to going to sleep. Melatonin is produced during the morning and used later at night. ·       Light produces endorphins in the eyes, which synchronize the system to get BC and do physical exercise. This is due to the rhythm in cortisol that starts to go up whenever you see the first hours of the morning and the light, which is why we don't use fasting glucose anymore as a valid test. ·       When exposed to sunlight, you produce the vitamin D necessary to gain muscle mass. However, if you avoid sunlight, for whatever reason, you are more inclined to lose muscle mass due to the missing part of vitamin D.  ·   Vitamin D is an antioxidant. If you consume a lot of ultra-processed carbohydrates, you are using your firehose with carbohydrates instead of getting this vitamin, getting the processes to lower other general inflammation.   [40:08] Natural Light vs Artificial Light; How This Influences Weight Loss ·       When people take sunshine, their anxiety goes down, but when they are anxious, they crave sweets and salty foods. ·       When they are sleep deprived, they start their day with higher-than-normal glucose levels, and if they exercise, they will have a glucose spike. Insulin can remove the excess glucose and put them back on the level where they start with cravings. ·       Any lifestyle promoting insulin resistance will worsen matters, and food stimuli are only four to 5% of the brain's ability to change eating patterns. To move forward, starting with the water flow and sleeping at the correct time is important. ·       Light significantly influences our eating patterns and behavior, with 46% of neurons in our brain being stimulated by light. ·       The brain is programmed to adapt to longer days during the summertime and shorter days during the wintertime, which means that we need to prepare ourselves and accumulate energy in terms of fat being brought to our system.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Anthony Chaffee. He’s an American medical doctor and Neurosurgical resident who, over a span of 20+ years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health. He claims that the majority of the so-called chronic illnesses are brought on by the food we consume and can be treated by switching to a diet tailored to our species.  About 23 years ago, when Dr Anthony was taking cancer biology at the University of Washington, they were learning about the roles of plants. Plants in general have about a million different defense chemicals that are used to poison and deter animals and insects from meeting them up. They need to be able to protect themselves because animals and insects are constantly attacking them.   They learned that quite a few plant toxins had already been demonstrated to be carcinogenic by researchers and that people had even recognized this fact. Brussels sprouts had 136 identified carcinogens, and then mushrooms had over 100. And then all of these different produce items that people would eat on a regular basis would have dozens and dozens of different carcinogens in them. That’s why Dr Anthony is on full carnivore. In this episode, Dr Anthony speaks about the toxins people are getting from eating plants. He gives some advice on what you can do to avoid chronic disease and live a longer life. Tune in as we chat about carcinogens, plant toxins, hormetic effects, and the effects of eating full carnivore on your body. -------------------------------------------------------- Download your FREE Vegetable Oil Allergy Card here: https://onlineoffer.lpages.co/vegetable-oil-allergy-card-download/ / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  🥑 Get your fat burning keto recipes each week delivered to your inbox, for less than $10 per month: http://www.ketokamprecipes.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  ⭐ Biotiquest Sugar Shift probiotic.

Controlling blood sugar levels and insulin resistance are issues with diabetes. Lowering your insulin is the treatment for that. How may insulin levels be decreased? You lessen the level of carbs in your body. When you stop eating carbohydrates, your body will produce the right amount of carbohydrates, which will cause your insulin levels to decrease.  Dr Anthony hasn’t heard of many people doing a Plant-based diet to cure type one diabetes but there are studies with ketogenic diets helping type one and type two diabetes. Some people with type one diabetes have radically changed how they manage their condition by adopting carnivorous or even ketogenic diets. They only need to provide a small amount of long-acting insulin, which will last them for the entire day, rather than many doses of the drug throughout the day. [18:52] All Plants Have Carcinogens! Why Plants Are Trying to Kill You There are undoubtedly things that have the potential to have hormetic effects. However, there is a claim that all of these plant toxins, literally millions of them, are not produced by plants for human benefit because we are not living in the Garden of Eden.  There's no actual evidence provided to say which chemicals are hormetic. At what dosage? Just get one leaf from your spinach or sage. That doesn't necessarily have all the same chemicals.  What kind of surroundings did it grow in? What kind of soil was it? What time was the pick? When must it be chosen as having to be freshman, it must be medicines. All of these objects' chemical makeups are altered by this. And so now all of a sudden, you don't know what dosage of digitalis you're getting. You can experience this beneficial hormetic effect in very small dosages. But it's in very controlled doses. [24:04] How can you tell whether something is working for or against you? You could follow an entire elimination diet. Do it for a month, then assess your feelings. After that, you introduce each thing one at a time. Some people are more resistant to these harmful chemicals and will have a better ability to detoxify these things.  [31:51] Eating The Right Animal Protein on the Carnivore Diet  Pick through exactly what you're eating. You can gain a small volume of muscle and bone and lose a large volume of fat and you'll gain weight, but your body composition will be different, and your clothes will fit differently.  [44:03] Heart rate variability: A sign to see if meat or plant toxic are good or bad for you? Nothing in meat will disrupt your heart's rhythm or bring on an arrhythmia. However, you might be hiding something. For example, your electrolytes are slightly out of balance, which is uncommon on a carnivorous diet. However, it may be claimed that when you switch to a ketogenic diet or a carnivore diet that is ketogenic from eating a lot of carbohydrates while your insulin is up, your levels of insulin suddenly go down.

Chronic mistreatment, such as severe calorie restriction over prolonged periods, can definitely harm it. -       Drawing from her own experiences with professional ballet dancers, she underscores the potential damage caused by extreme dietary habits. -       Her doctoral research dives into the energy metabolism of female athletes, comparing professional athletes with recreationally active ones. Surprisingly, despite the rigorous training schedules of professional athletes, they consumed significantly fewer calories than their recreational counterparts. Moreover, their metabolic rates were notably lower, indicating the adverse effects of chronic under-eating on metabolism. -       Despite the grim picture painted by metabolic damage, Dr. Lucas offers a beacon of hope. She asserts that, based on her extensive experience working with individuals and her own journey, it's possible to rehabilitate a damaged metabolism and restore it to a healthy state. [08:10] Overcoming Emotional Barriers: The Key to Successful Weight Loss -       Dr. Lucas highlights how fear often manifests as a significant barrier to progress. Whether it's fear of failure or fear of success, these emotions can derail individuals from reaching their weight loss goals. -       The power of mindset in achieving weight loss goals cannot be overstated. Dr. Lucas emphasizes that individuals who approach their journey with an open mind and a positive attitude tend to have smoother transformations. -       Visualization and belief in the possibility of reaching a lower weight play crucial roles in overcoming self-imposed limitations. -       Weight loss isn't just about shedding physical pounds; it's also a journey of emotional release. [12:45] Environment Matters: Cultivating Surroundings for Success -       Dr. Lucas emphasizes the profound influence of our environment on our behavior and thought patterns. -       She echoes the sentiment that our surroundings often have more sway over our actions than sheer willpower alone. By acknowledging the significance of the environment, individuals can begin to cultivate surroundings conducive to their goals. -       She highlights the tendency to construct stories based on our thoughts, reinforcing certain beliefs and behaviors. To counteract this, she suggests actively rewriting these stories through positive self-talk and exposure to uplifting content. -       Gratitude emerges as a powerful tool for shifting perspective and fostering positivity. Dr. Lucas advocates for daily gratitude practices, even in the face of challenges. [16:50] Unlocking Weight Loss Success: Prioritizing Quality Sleep -       Dr. Lucas acknowledges that individuals have different lifestyles and schedules but emphasizes that achieving weight loss goals is still possible regardless of circumstances. -       She shares success stories of clients from varied professions, highlighting that commitment and dedication are essential for success. -       Dr. Lucas emphasizes the importance of not just the duration but also the quality of sleep. She explains how fragmented sleep can hinder weight loss progress, citing research indicating the hormonal impact of inadequate sleep on metabolism and appetite regulation. -       She advises individuals to prioritize obtaining sufficient, uninterrupted sleep each night to optimize hormonal balance, reduce stress, and facilitate weight loss more effectively. [34:30] Exercise for Wellness: Maximizing Health Beyond Weight Loss -       Dr. Lucas views exercise not solely as a weight loss tool but as a holistic approach to wellness. -       She emphasizes that incorporating exercise into one's routine can improve overall well-being by reducing stress, improving sleep, and boosting mood. -       Highlighting the significance of muscle mass, Dr. Lucas underscores its role as a marker of longevity and metabolic currency. She warns against neglecting muscle mass during weight loss, as losing muscle can decrease metabolic rate and hinder long-term success. -       Dr. Lucas recommends three main types of exercise: brisk walking, strength training, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). [51:00] Examining Food Additives: A Call for Stricter Regulation and Informed Consumption -       Dr. Lucas discusses California's ban on Red Dye 40, an ingredient commonly found in foods like Skittles. -       She highlights its link to behavioral issues and cancer, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations on harmful additives in food products. -       Dr. Lucas advocates for a balanced approach to consuming treats, especially during Halloween. -       Rather than completely restricting candy, she suggests allowing children to enjoy a moderate amount while being mindful of the potential impact of additives on health. -       Dr. Lucas raises awareness about the profit-driven motives of food companies and the lack of regulation surrounding harmful additives in the United States compared to Europe.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Nazlie Latefi. She is a life sciences expert holding a PhD in molecular biology and neuroscience and has many years of experience advising the investment industry on health and sustainability. She has written for numerous publications and is currently a principle research analyst at Pegasus Capital Advisors, a private equity firm focused on health and sustainability.  In this episode, you’ll learn how Dr. Nazlie has redefined the landscape of preventive healthcare through a holistic approach to thwart sickness at its roots. Initially motivated to combat influenza epidemics, Dr. Nazlie and her team dove into the intricate world of adhesion molecules, unraveling their role as gateways for viral entry into cells.

This finding highlighted the importance of adhesion molecules in viral infections and sparked her interest in exploring ways to prevent viral entry into cells. -       Motivated by the desire to find ways to prevent illness during influenza epidemics, Dr. Nazlie began researching methods to protect against viruses. This was before the widespread use of masks and the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, the focus was on developing antivirals to safeguard against infections. -       As research progressed, the concept of Biovanta emerged. Dr. Nazlie and her team dove into the natural defenses present in the nose and throat that can protect against illness. -       The company's goal expanded beyond antivirals to address inflammation and challenges within the cold and flu industry, aiming to provide a more effective approach to preventing sickness. [15:00] The Legacy and Limits of Over-the-Counter Cold and Flu Remedies -       Standard over-the-counter cold and flu remedies have been in the regulatory landscape of the FDA since the 1950s. -       These medications were grandfathered in before a deeper understanding of genetics and advanced scientific knowledge. -       The FDA allowed these remedies to make specific claims prominently displayed on their packaging, such as "cold and flu symptoms relief." Despite their long-standing presence in the market and these claims, Dr. Nazlie highlights that the regulatory landscape is slow to adapt, and these bold claims on the packaging may influence public perception. -       Scientific studies, conducted over decades in randomized clinical trials, have shown that these traditional over-the-counter remedies do not live up to their claimed efficacy. -       These traditional products have been extensively studied and have consistently demonstrated a lack of effectiveness in lowering symptoms or reducing the duration of sickness. [34:40] Understanding Immune System Boosting for Preventative Well-being -       When people talk about "boosting the immune system," they are primarily referring to the innate immune system, according to Dr. Nazlie. -       Unlike the adaptive immune system, which involves specific antibody production, the innate immune system, including dendritic cells, acts as the first line of defense against pathogens. The goal is to strengthen these initial defense mechanisms. -       The ultimate objective of boosting the immune system, particularly the innate immune system, is to prevent illness from occurring in the first place. -       By enhancing the body's initial defenses, individuals aim to reduce the likelihood of falling ill, contributing to overall well-being. [40:00] Biovanta: The Dual Benefits for Immune Health and Inflammation Management -       The new and improved Biovanta, containing aspirin, is classified as an over-the-counter drug. The inclusion of aspirin in the formula is a strategic choice due to its dual benefits as a fever reducer and anti-inflammatory agent. -       Dr. Nazlie explains that aspirin is chosen for its dual functionality—it not only reduces fever but also possesses anti-inflammatory properties. This dual action is considered crucial for addressing both the symptoms of illness and the associated inflammation. -       Dr. Nazlie highlights a key distinction from Tylenol, emphasizing that when experiencing fever and cold symptoms, it's essential to avoid depleting glutathione. Unlike Tylenol, which may impact glutathione levels, aspirin is chosen to strike a balance between inflammation and the need for antioxidant-rich glutathione. -       The discussion revolves around the delicate balance between inflammation and repair in the immune response. [42:50] Insights on Exercise, Wellness, and Immune Health -       Dr. Nazlie shares her experience with a spinning class and praises the instructor's intelligence on wellness. The instructor emphasized the importance of balance in exercise, warning against excessive intensity and frequency. -       Overdoing high-intensity workouts more than once or twice a week may not yield the desired benefits and could be counterproductive. -       Dr. Nazlie underscores the significance of giving the body time to repair, emphasizing that excessive stress from frequent intense workouts can hinder the recovery process. -       Drawing parallels to immune health, Dr. Nazlie discusses how excessive exercise stress, such as marathon running, can weaken the immune system. This aligns with the idea that proper recovery is essential for overall well-being, including immune function. -       The conversation highlights the need for a balanced and mindful approach to exercise for optimal health outcomes. [47:30] Holistic Habits and Immune Health Optimization -       One of the significant mistakes people make in trying to improve their immune system is the lack of balance in their daily habits. -       Dr. Nazlie emphasizes the need for a holistic approach, considering factors like exercise, stress management, and overall well-being. -       The immune system is constantly calibrating based on daily habits. To effectively respond to threats, the body needs to be in a healthy state. -       Dr. Nazlie points out that mental stress can lead to increased cortisol levels, which are highly inflammatory and can hijack the immune system. Managing mental stress is crucial for maintaining a balanced and healthy immune response.

While many people initially turn to intermittent fasting for these reasons, she suggests that it's crucial to recognize the broader impact on the body's optimal functioning. -       Cynthia highlights the contrast between modern-day lifestyles and historical eating habits. She mentions that, until about a century ago, food scarcity was common, and people often experienced periods of fasting. -       With the rise of processed foods and constant food accessibility, our bodies may not be functioning optimally. Fasting, according to Cynthia, helps individuals reconnect with the natural way our bodies are designed to operate. -       The body should be able to flexibly switch between utilizing stored carbohydrates and fats for energy. By training the body through fasting and mindful meal structuring, individuals can enhance their metabolic flexibility. [16:15] Cellular Regulation, Protein Intake, and Healthy Solutions -       Cynthia emphasizes that hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is not a benign condition. Instead, she sees it as a sign that the receptors on cells are not properly regulated. -       Cynthia notes that individuals, especially women, often under-eat protein unknowingly. She links this to metabolic health issues and suggests reflecting on the protein content of meals prior to hypoglycemic episodes. -       Ensuring an adequate intake of protein becomes a fundamental aspect of addressing hypoglycemia. -       Cynthia advises against traditional sugary solutions for hypoglycemia, such as juice, candy, or muffins. Instead, she recommends healthier options, like a piece of fruit paired with protein. [23:15] Intermittent Fasting: Age, Hormones, and Strategies for Women's Well-being -       Cynthia emphasizes that women's fasting strategies should consider age and hormonal fluctuations. Menopausal women and men share similarities in hormonal stability, while younger women, especially those under 35, experience more significant hormonal changes. This distinction guides the approach to intermittent fasting for different age groups. -       Lean athletic women aged 35 and under are advised to be cautious with regular fasting. Cynthia suggests that even if they are not planning to have children, these women's bodies are sensitive to nutrient depletion. -       Women under 35 who are not metabolically healthy, especially those with conditions like PCOS, may benefit from intermittent fasting. -       Perimenopausal women (35 to 50) experience hormonal fluctuations, making stress management and quality sleep crucial. Cynthia advises against adding intermittent fasting if stress and sleep are not well-managed. [40:30] Health Conditions, Medication Stability, and Individual Well-being -       Cynthia emphasizes that the effectiveness and safety of intermittent fasting depend on the individual's context. She highlights that one's health condition, including factors like Hashimoto's, medication stability, energy levels, and overall well-being, should be considered before incorporating fasting. -       Cynthia advises caution for individuals who are newly diagnosed with hypothyroidism and are experiencing symptoms such as low energy, hair loss, constipation, and dry skin. She suggests that fasting should not be added to the treatment regimen during this stage. -       Stability on medication and overall well-being are prerequisites for considering intermittent fasting. -       There is no one-size-fits-all recommendation, and what may work for one person might not be suitable for another. [44:30] Navigating Heart Rate Variability: Age, Travel, and Autonomic Balance -       Cynthia acknowledges that heart rate variability (HRV) varies with age, and she doesn't expect her HRV to match that of someone younger. -       She emphasizes the individual nature of HRV and the understanding that age plays a role in its fluctuations. -       Cynthia shares her experience of how travel can affect HRV. She mentions a specific instance in Denver where her HRV dropped, highlighting that environmental factors, such as changes in location, can influence HRV readings. -       Cynthia sees HRV as a valuable tool for assessing the balance in the autonomic nervous system. She explains how HRV provides an objective measure of the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) sides of the autonomic nervous system. [47:20] Cynthia Unveils the Physiological Depths of Intermittent Fasting -       Cynthia argues that the benefits of intermittent fasting stem more from eating less often than simply eating fewer calories. -       She believes there are physiological changes beyond caloric restriction, including alterations in hormonal regulation and autophagy. -       Cynthia challenges the notion that intermittent fasting is solely about calories in, calories out. -       She highlights the importance of understanding that intermittent fasting involves more than just caloric restriction, emphasizing hormonal regulation and the process of autophagy.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Nick Bitz. He is a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine specialising in Ayurvedic medicine. He is presently the Senior Vice President of Product Development at Neurohacker Collective, a company that uses complex systems research to create revolutionary solutions for health and well-being. Dr Nick is interested in Ayurvedic medicine because of his health crisis. When he was a kid, he fell out of a tree, causing a chronic back issue. Not letting his health crisis pull him down, Dr Nick began his journey of self-care and healing. He dives into Buddhist meditation, yoga, and Ayurveda. Eventually, he landed on acupuncture, where he saw the light that he would live a life free of chronic pain. He uses all the tools he can to heal himself. Ultimately, Dr Nick moved to India and focused on Ayurvedic medicine. In this episode, Dr Nick Bitz talks about what cellular senescence is and why it is related to the reason why humans age. He also discusses keeping healthy cells and developing resilience. Aside from that, Dr Nick dives into why fasting is critical to reset our bodies. Tune in as we chat about cellular senescence, fasting, developing resilience,  Qualia Resilience Supplement, and building immune health.

Senescence is a Latin term derived from cynics that simply means to age. As a cell matures and goes through senescence, that's what's known as cellular senescence. The core of aging occurs when cells within our bodies cease dividing and just stay within the body; this is known as senescence cells. [17:20] Tips To Prevent Senescence Cells and Keep Cells Healthy Free radicals can cause senescence cells. Increasing NAD levels would aid in support of mitochondrial pathways, ensuring the health of cells. You want to make sure that when cells are harmed, they have the ability to repair themselves. Consuming too much alcohol and eating too many fried meals can all contribute to damaged cells, which subsequently initiate the body's senescence cell mode. [28:06] The Health Benefits of Stress! A little amount of stress is beneficial to us since it will be the cause to move you into action. Cold plunges are also helpful because they create resiliency on every level of the body. Apart from stress and cold plunges, adaptogens also create resilience. It is like a buffer in the external world. [31:32] Fasting Is Critical To Let Your Body Heal And Reset From This Toxic World Fasting is one of the lifestyles that support cellular senescence. Fasting stimulates Autophagy. Thus it can help prevent senescence cells. With the toxic world we live in, fasting is critical to let our body reset and do its normal functions. Fasting, in general, is most suited to big heavyset body types. [38:24] Do This to Boost Your Mental Function Qualia Resilience Supplement is a stress formula that doesn't inhibit motivation.  Its purpose is to elevate mental function as well as buffered the effects of stress. You can do the regimen for five days on and then take a break on weekends. This will give you more freedom.  It is not intended to knock you out in order to encourage deep sleep. It's designed to provide you with adaptogenic chemicals that normalize physiology needed later in the evening. And that's exactly what it's intended for; it's mostly a nocturnal adaptogen; I wouldn't advocate using adaptogens in the afternoon. [47:40] How to Build a Bulletproof Immune System Immune cells, like all other cells in the body, ultimately die. And as these immune cells age, your immune function declines over time. As a result, part of the immune cell function and purpose in the body is to monitor the body for these senescent cells and subsequently remove and eradicate them.  Beta-glucans can help your body build immunity. You may start small and gradually increase your immune intelligence so that when you have any environmental exposure, your body is ready to respond in a healthy, intelligent manner. Taking Vitamin D, vitamin K, and zinc regularly is also recommended to build immunity. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Eric Berg here with me. He is The Knowledge Doc, and he founded the Berg Institute of Health & Wellness in 1997 in Seminole, Florida, where he now serves as the Institute's CEO. The Institute aims to help people understand their health, their body's needs, and how to overcome nutritional deficiencies. Dr. Berg enables people to take ownership of their health and well-being to achieve their ideal weight loss goals empowered by a keto diet and intermittent fasting. In this episode, Dr. Berg chats about modern health challenges, shedding light on fat storage mechanisms, the role of ketones as a cleaner fuel, and the impact of abundant food availability on our health. Dr. Berg debunks common myths surrounding insulin responses to fat, sugar, and protein, emphasizing the crucial role of glucagon in maintaining a balanced physiological state. We dive into the intricate relationship between inflammation, the immune response, and dietary triggers, mainly focusing on the long-term consequences of chronic inflammation induced by certain foods.  Plus, Dr. Berg challenges the conventional view of cholesterol, highlighting the essential functions of LDL in the body's healing processes. Moreover, he exposes censorship and disinformation campaigns against the ketogenic diet, calling for grassroots action to counter organized opposition and increase awareness about the benefits of a keto lifestyle. Dr. Berg advocates for a collective effort to create demand for whole, nutritious foods to influence market dynamics and discourage the promotion of processed or lab-based alternatives. 🥑 Get your Keto Recipe of the Week here:  http://www.ketokamprecipes.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

Contrary to the misconception that glucose is the primary source of fuel, Dr. Berg suggests that ketones play a crucial role as a primary and cleaner fuel. The body, when in ketosis, utilizes stored fat for energy between meals, making it a more sustainable approach than relying solely on glucose. The discussion touches on how the modern abundance of food has led to a shift away from relying on ketone backup storage. This shift is linked to various health issues, suggesting a connection between the availability of food and the development of diseases. [06:50] Insulin Responses to Fat, Sugar, and Protein, and the Crucial Role of Glucagon Dr. Berg notes that consuming fat does not elicit a significant insulin response. In contrast to sugar, which is known to increase insulin levels, fat has minimal impact on insulin production. While fat going down into the small intestine may slightly increase insulin, the overall response is much lower compared to the insulin spike associated with sugar consumption. Protein intake does lead to a certain degree of insulin increase. However, Dr. Berg explains that the simultaneous release of another hormone called glucagon helps counteract some of the negative effects of insulin. This suggests a more balanced response to protein consumption. The hormone glucagon is highlighted as a counterbalance to insulin. Even when insulin levels rise due to protein consumption, the release of glucagon works to mitigate some of the adverse effects associated with increased insulin. [10:50] Exploring the Interplay Between Inflammation, Immune Response, and Dietary Triggers Inflammation is discussed in relation to the immune response, serving as a natural part of the healing process.  Acute inflammation is described as a cycle where the body responds to infection, and healing occurs with increased blood flow.  However, chronic inflammation may result from continuous activation caused by certain inflammatory foods. Long-term inflammation, especially triggered by foods like seed oils, refined starches, and sugar, can lead to issues like leaky gut. This condition allows foreign substances to enter the body, leading to immune reactions and contributing to autoimmune diseases.  Conditions like thyroid autoimmune, brain autoimmune, or joint issues are attributed to immune problems originating in the gut. [31:30] Dr. Berg Debunks the 'Bad Cholesterol' Myth and Emphasizes Its Crucial Role in Body Function Dr. Berg emphasizes the essential function of LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) in the body, contrary to the common belief that it is solely "bad cholesterol" meant to clog arteries.  The actual function of LDL is to deliver cholesterol to various parts of the body, contributing to the synthesis of vitamin D, bile, cell membranes, and various hormones, including cortisol, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. LDL is described as playing a crucial role in the healing process. When the body is in a healing state, LDL levels naturally rise to transport cholesterol to tissues, supporting the production of essential factors for overall health. Dr. Berg critiques the idea of using statins to bring cholesterol levels down to zero, as some doctors suggest. He questions the logic of such an approach, highlighting the importance of cholesterol in hormone production, cell membrane formation, and other vital processes.  [34:00] Dr. Berg Exposes Censorship, Disinformation, and Organized Opposition Against the Ketogenic Diet Dr. Berg notes a decrease in visibility for his keto-related videos and suggests censorship, indicating that authoritative health sources dominate search results for health-related topics. He points out a bias against keto, with negative information and critiques dominating search results for the diet. Dr. Berg suggests a disinformation campaign against the ketogenic diet, fueled by claims linking it to various negative effects such as bad breath, ketoacidosis, heart disease, kidney stones, and "keto crotch." He criticizes the use of observational studies with questionnaires to spread doubt and misinformation about the safety of the ketogenic diet. Dr. Berg highlights an organized opposition against keto, particularly from vegan and plant-based groups.  He questions the mission of some vegan sites, which focus on fighting "fake facts" and misinformation rather than promoting veganism. [48:30] Dr. Berg Calls for Grassroots Action Against Disinformation Campaigns Dr. Berg emphasizes the need for organization within the keto community, pointing out the highly organized and funded opposition to the ketogenic diet. He suggests that a grassroots campaign should be initiated to increase awareness of the situation and inform people about the disinformation campaigns targeting the keto lifestyle. Dr. Berg advocates for creating demand for whole foods that are genuinely healthy. He believes that by collectively increasing the demand for nutritious, whole foods, the market dynamics can be influenced. This approach aims to counter the introduction of lab-based meats or processed foods by not supporting them through consumer demand. Dr. Berg suggests that if individuals collectively reject certain products or diets by not buying into them, it can limit their success in the market. AND MUCH MORE!

Avoid highly processed sugars, the leading cause of liver transplants, and highly processed grains and flour. [19:10] Your Body Responds Positively to Diversity in Many Different Areas ·       The human body was made to eat all different things, be it meat or leafy vegetables, to receive a well-balanced diet. ·       The microbiome flourishes when fed different vegetable plants or called alpha diversity. ·       The better the variety you get, be it a protein, fruit, or vegetable source, the better our bodies thrive. [23:01] Movement: Simplest and Most Effective way to Have a Better Functioning Metabolism  ·       People should move their bodies daily in some way, shape, or form.  ·       There is a direct correlation between the time we spend seated and the incidence of all chronic diseases. ·       Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, gets released with exercise that increases our mental capacity, creativity, and memory. ·       Resistance training significantly impacts working against Age-Dependent Sarcopenia or losing muscles as people grow older. Muscle mass is needed to prevent chronic diseases and for a faster metabolism. [29:05] Optimize Your Sleep. Reset Your Hormones with a Good Night's Sleep ·       The glymphatic system is the system of the brain responsible for flushing out toxins through sleeping or autophagy.  ·  The first few minutes of the morning and some natural sunlight are important to get a good night's sleep.   ·       Do not eat 3 hours before bed, stay away from any devices 2 hours before bed, and have a consistent bedtime. ·       Getting a good night's sleep resets a person's hormones.  [34:41] Get Your Gut Healthy and Optimize the Stress in Your Life Having a healthy gut allows you to optimize your diet while taking care of all the other things. You're optimizing both your movement and your sleeping pattern. ·       According to a 2012 study, the first finding is the people that had very high stress; some of them had an increased risk of dying and comorbidities, while a subset of the group had some protective effect from stress. ·       The practice of breathing and exercise can change a person's physiology.

They often put the needs of others ahead of their own, neglecting self-care and personal development. She raises the question of why it is challenging for individuals to put themselves first. Allison suggests that the brain may play a role in pushing people towards easy or familiar tasks that don't involve vulnerability or exposure. Over time, Allison notes that people who consistently prioritize others over themselves may face consequences.  This can lead to exhaustion, restlessness, and resentment, as they deplete their own energy without replenishing it. Allison advocates for the transformative power of self-care. Taking small amounts of time, like 10 minutes a day, for activities such as meditation, nature walks, or workouts sends a message to oneself that they are valued.  [11:50] Breaking Free from Overthinking and Unconscious Living Allison emphasizes the importance of celebrating oneself and recognizing personal accomplishments and wins. Without a system of self-celebration, individuals may feel a constant need for more without acknowledging their achievements, leading to a sense of inadequacy. Allison suggests that individuals often find themselves trapped in constant overthinking and information overload. She advocates for grounding oneself in the body, feeling into the heart, and moving away from excessive mental chatter.  She points out that many people live unconsciously, unaware of the energetic dynamics at play—suppressed emotions, ingrained beliefs, or old programs running in the background. Lack of awareness, according to Allison, is a significant challenge as individuals may not realize they have the power to make choices and change their lives. [18:15] Learned Helplessness and Rediscovering Inner Strength Allison describes learned helplessness as a form of victimhood. It's a state where individuals feel overwhelmed and unable to take action because they have learned to give up. This can manifest as a sense of powerlessness and a belief that life is too overwhelming to handle. People may resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as numbing out or addictive behavior, as a way to dissociate from the overwhelming feelings of disconnection.  Regardless of external chaos, reconnecting within allows individuals to tap into their true power and make empowered choices in their lives. Allison acknowledges that pain, whether physical or emotional, is an integral part of life. Instead of succumbing to learned helplessness, she encourages individuals to recognize that feeling one side of an emotion opens the potential to feel the other side.  [24:25] From Painful Identities to Empowered Ownership in Health and Connection Allison notes that individuals often identify strongly with the pain they have experienced. This identification can contribute to the sense of learned helplessness, where people feel overwhelmed and unable to take action based on their past experiences. She addresses the fear associated with genetic factors in health. Allison encourages a middle ground approach, advising individuals not to blindly accept familial health conditions as destiny.  Allison advocates for taking full responsibility for one's health and well-being. Viewing doctors as consultants and becoming the authority over one's body enables individuals to make informed choices, leading to empowerment.  Cultivating intimacy with oneself through wellness practices fosters a more authentic connection with others. True connection, according to Allison, begins by rekindling the severed connection with oneself. [33:45] Embracing Life's Challenges as Catalysts for Self-Empowerment  Allison highlights that personal growth is an ongoing journey and challenges are a normal part of it.  Contrary to the misconception that personal development reaches a point of completion, she emphasizes that individuals will continue to face challenges and opportunities for growth throughout their lives. Allison sees challenges as opportunities to flex the metaphorical muscle of self-empowerment.  The universe, in her perspective, provides situations to test and strengthen one's ability to take charge, make choices, and stand up for oneself. [46:15] Mind Alignment, Neural Retraining, and Energetic Healing for Personal Transformation Allison emphasizes the importance of aligning the mind as the initial step in her teachings. Training the mind involves quieting it and connecting with the higher mind, which is associated with higher aspects of oneself. This alignment enables individuals to move away from default thought patterns and foster more optimistic thinking authentically. A crucial aspect of mind alignment is examining one's default state of mind. Allison encourages individuals to assess what they think about 90 percent of the time and work on retraining neural pathways. The goal is to break free from learned helplessness and negative feedback loops by cultivating more positive and authentic thinking. Allison incorporates various energetic healing modalities in her teachings, such as meditations and energy work to help students reconnect with their root chakra.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Jay T. Wiles. He is the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Hanu Health. Dr Jay is also a prominent expert in mental health optimization, HRV, and biofeedback.  Dr Jay is a clinical health and performance psychologist. He has a master's degree in clinical therapy and then went on to his doctoral degree in clinical psychology. When he was in his residency, he and his co-workers were exposed to a toxic black mold. This led him to be more interested in health, wellness, and integrative holistic health.  Since then, his residency in the Department of Veteran Affairs grew his desire to study heart rate variability and biofeedback and how it relates to Nervous System Monitoring and functioning.  In 2018, Dr Jay launched his consulting company, which is utilized by elite athletes, high-performance executives, and CEOs to understand data from wearables while learning how to manage their nervous systems using tools and procedures.  His firm, Hanu, was founded in 2021. It is a digital mental health platform that uses wearable technology to track changes in the human stress response. They then train resilience through various techniques.   In this episode, Dr Jay speaks about heart rate variability and its relation to the nervous system. Dr Jay talks about how to gauge parasympathetic balance. Tune in as we chat about Heart Rate Variability, Nervous System, Stress, Parasympathetic Balance, measuring HRV, Pre-Meal Breathwork Sessions, and many more. Get your Hanu Health device, 20% off!

Don’t Worry. Nervous System is Adapting!  -       Heart rate and heart rate variability are not the same things. We may acquire a decent insight by evaluating both of them. -       Heart rate variability is similar to examining heart rate through a microscope. -       The heart does not beat to the beat of a metronome. In reality, it rapidly accelerates and decelerates. -       Heart rate variability examines temporal variations or variance, which is the difference in time between each succeeding heartbeat. -       Increased Heart Rate Variability indicates that the nervous system is adaptable; it can assimilate information within its surroundings and adjust. [14:17] Stress is Not Bad, Just Be Adaptable and Regulate Your Nervous System  -       Remember that HRV as a metric does not often behave the same way as many other metrics that serve as the normative basis of comparison. - Several conflicting elements contribute to HRV being what it is. When we compare two people's heart rate variability, it's like comparing apples and oranges. -       A decrease in heart rate variability indicates that the nervous system is too busy and is having a tough time changing and adapting to its surroundings. -       If we are not regulating our nervous system response, as seen by a reduction in heart rate variability, it undoubtedly aggravates any other forms of physiological abnormalities. [19:20] What Is the Best Way to Gauge the Parasympathetic Balance?  -       There are other methods available, but they are often more intrusive. -       Another approach would be to examine general brainwave functioning and changes in brainwave states. -       We have so much evidence in the scientific literature that heart rate variability is now the single best non-invasive technique to have a proxy for nervous system functioning and balance. -       Many people experience nervous system assaults throughout the day, increasing over time. If they are unaware of what is going on, and especially if they are not managing their reaction at that period, we observe the emergence of a host of various mental and physical health problems. -       What we can truly do is train our neurological systems to behave in a more adaptable manner, which will make us happier. [30:17] Using the Device to Measure HRV? Look At the Stress Resiliency Number  -       The Stress Resiliency Number is a 0 to 100 number that takes all of your data and plots it on a 0 to 100 scale. -       If you don’t understand how to interpret HRV, Stress Resiliency Number is a great number to look at. -       Your goal is to get yourself above that 80 to 100 thresholds, which is like our green zone. -       As the HRV goes down, so does your Stress Resiliency Number. [41:59] Digest Your Meal Better, Do A Pre-Meal Breathwork Session  -       It's a biofeedback session to help stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus nerve prior to a meal. -       If we go into a meal and eat in a sympathetically driven state, it will cause immense dysbiosis and dysregulation of the gut. -       Do a very short practice, 60 seconds to two minutes of a breathwork session that we call pre-meal. And we also do it post-meal to start that process. -       When people do the breathwork session, their meal does not have nearly as much of an input influence on the metabolically, so we do not see significant amounts of blood sugar rise. Plus, people's nervous system recovers quickly. -       It is imperative to do something parasympathetically stimulating or stimulating our vagus nerve before and after eating. [59:09] Having A Bad Performance Anxiety? Calm Down, Focus and Work to Increase Your HRV -       One major issue that people have is experiencing bad performance anxiety during biofeedback sessions, which causes them to feel agitated and lowers their HRV. -       Don't be discouraged; this is an excellent learning opportunity for you. Address and work on the problem. -       Any upward direct movement is beneficial since it indicates that the nervous system is actively engaged.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Jess Berman. She joins the show to share new information and interesting science about cellular health from the perspective of BodyBio, the company founded by her grandfather, Ed Kane, an inventor, health explorer and early biohacker. He went looking for answers to his own health issues in the 1980s and got deep into the science of fatty acid research and cell membrane medicine through blood testing. In this episode, Jess explores essential health topics, emphasizing the crucial balance of phosphatidylcholine in cell membranes and the impact of environmental influences. The significance of maintaining cell membrane health as foundational to overall well-being is underscored. We touch on omega-6 fatty acids; Jess highlights their dual nature and stresses the importance of quality sourcing in the fatty acid pathway. She distinguishes between processed and pure forms, emphasizing the role of processing and storage methods in maintaining omega-6 quality. Tune in as we dive into preventative health measures, urging a perspective that considers health as wealth.

Exposure to various substances in the environment can affect the structure of the membrane. -       Jess emphasizes that maintaining cell membrane health is foundational to overall well-being. [19:55] Understanding the Dual Nature of Omega-6 Fatty Acids -       The fatty acid pathway includes both omega-6 and omega-3 branches. While omega-6 fatty acids are often associated with inflammation, Jess emphasizes that this inflammatory response is crucial for the body's biochemical processes, particularly in the healing process. -       It is important to recognize the dual nature of omega-6 fatty acids. -       Not all omega-6 fatty acids are the same. There is a distinction between rancid omega-6, which may be associated with processed and unhealthy sources, and pure, unadulterated omega-6 linoleic acid derived from carefully treated, organic sources like cold-pressed seed oils. -       The processing and storage methods play a crucial role in maintaining the quality of omega-6. [33:00] DHA in Brain Health and Fetal Development, Advocating for Dietary Sources with Caviar in the Spotlight -       DHA plays a crucial role in brain health; it is highlighted as an essential aspect, not only for maintaining brain function but also for fetal development during pregnancy. It is particularly emphasized for its significance in the third trimester of pregnancy. -       Jess suggests obtaining DHA from dietary sources rather than relying solely on supplements. -       While acknowledging the benefits of fish oil, the recommendation is to include fish in the diet, with an emphasis on consuming high-quality fish. -       Caviar is specifically mentioned as a preferred source, and Jess discourages overreliance on fish oil supplements. [38:00] Preventative Health Measures and the Impact of “Forever Chemicals” -       Jess emphasizes the importance of considering health as wealth and the value of taking preventative measures. -       She suggests that investing in understanding indicators of future diseases through testing is worth it, especially when adopting a resilient and preventative lifestyle. -       Jess discusses the presence of persistent chemicals, even those that have been banned for years. -       She mentions an example of a chemical used in dry cleaning that has been banned for two decades but is still detectable in cells. This highlights the existence of "forever chemicals" and the long-lasting impact of certain substances on the human body. [45:00] A Generational Approach to Health, Dispelling Fear and Addressing Toxins for Long-term Well-being -       Jess emphasizes the importance of building cellular resilience for everyone, spanning generations. -       The goal is not to create fear about exposure but to empower individuals to enhance their cellular strength for better health. -       Toxins entering the body can embed themselves in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, altering epigenetics and potentially activating health vulnerabilities. -       The development of health issues, such as cancer, may occur over 15 to 20 years, underscoring the importance of addressing toxins early. [54:00] A Profound Appreciation for Family Health -       Jess expresses profound gratitude for her own health, as well as the health of her children, husband, and family. -       Working with individuals who do not have healthy children has heightened Jess's awareness of health disparities. The emotional impact of witnessing these struggles is evident, and it underscores the value she places on the well-being of her own family. -       Jess conveys a heartfelt sense of empathy for those facing health challenges with their children.

Today, I am blessed to have Anna Vocino with me. Anna Vocino is the founder of Eat Happy Kitchen and the author of two best-selling cookbooks. She is passionate about good organic food, high quality, no sugar added, and she sticks to a low-carb diet.  After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2002, Anna made it her mission to create easy-to-prepare, delicious gluten-free, sugar-free, and grain-free versions of her favorite comfort foods. Today, she has published more than 300 recipes between her two cookbooks, hundreds more on her blog (annavocino.com), and now, even more, can be found inside her recently released Marinara Meals. In this episode, Anna Vocino talks about Gluten, living a gluten-free lifestyle, harmful ingredients, and why laughter is the best medicine. Anna Vocino dives into healthy recipe alternatives, easy healthy recipes, and how too much consumption of sugar can be harmful for us. Tune in as we chat about Gluten, living a gluten-free lifestyle, harmful ingredients, and why laughter is the best medicine.

It is recommended to look at the ingredients of products. [21:09] How to Encourage Your Kids to Live a Healthier Lifestyle Parents shouldn't push their agenda on anyone. Instead, they should model good behavior and habits. Keto is only for some. Families should take into consideration if it's applicable or if there are members of the family have certain medical conditions. [30:17] Avoid These Ingredients At All Costs If You Are Doing Keto Any sugar is still sugar. It's best to use the least amount of sugar to make food rather than artificial sweetener. Gums and seed oils are ingredients that go through several chemical processes with deodorizers, which are bad for a person's health. Americans have a sweeter-pro palette due to many foods containing so many sugars, which makes them addictive. Grass-fed meats, pastured chickens, and eggs are cost-prohibitive for most people, but it is a better alternative for people and the Earth. [47:55] The Surprising Health Benefits of Laughter Changing your diet to a low-carb way of eating can improve brain chemistry. Oxytocin is a type of Endorphin produced from laughter and joy that makes a person healthier. Protect your space and boundaries by removing toxic people from your environment, as it affects your actions and results. Negative emotions come from things we don't like or don't expect, and you will experience them from time to time. What's important is changing your emotional response to things. AND MUCH MORE!

[13:30] A Journey to Rewire for Freedom from Eating Patterns and Beyond -       Errin emphasizes the significance of understanding how the brain is wired, particularly in relation to eating habits. She describes a pattern where her brain was wired from a young age to associate various emotions and situations with the act of eating. This includes eating when stressed, happy, or bored. -       She mentions that the brain can be rewired over time, offering freedom from patterns like binge eating, anxiety, and stress. -       Errin suggests that the process of rewiring the brain not only applies to binge eating but can also address other behaviors such as anxiety and stress. She emphasizes the potential for absolute freedom on the other side of this rewiring process. -       Errin's insights highlight the complexity of brain rewiring, the potential for freedom from ingrained behaviors, and the individualized nature of the journey to health. [19:10] Errin's Transformative Path from Disordered Eating to Wholesome Wellness -       Errin acknowledges that overcoming her disordered eating habits was not an immediate process. Letting go of these habits, which provided joy in a stressful job, took at least a couple of years. -       Errin mentions practicing "shame fasting" and highlights how disconnection from herself and her surroundings was a significant part of her struggle. -       Her reliance on food for joy and comfort made breaking the cycle challenging, emphasizing the emotional aspect of the journey. -       Errin describes making gradual but impactful shifts in her dietary choices. She moved away from excessive fat bombs and processed foods, opting for whole foods instead. Cooking from home, reducing reliance on seed oils, and focusing on quality sleep became essential elements in her journey to better health. [29:50] Wellness through a Carnivore Approach -       Errin emphasizes the need to break free from the dogma and recognize that individual experiences and transformations may vary. -       Errin shares a significant shift in her health journey by adopting a more carnivore approach, focusing on consuming more protein from grass-fed, grass-finished beef. This change, combined with weightlifting, sleep, and other factors, became a game-changer for her well-being. -       Errin notes that practices such as incorporating more grass-fed beef into her diet and prioritizing sleep might seem too simple, but they had a profound impact on her overall well-being. -       Errin expresses a desire to share her experiences, particularly regarding the benefits of a beef-centric diet, with women struggling with binge eating disorders. She believes that the simple act of incorporating beef into meals could potentially help many women achieve positive transformations in their relationship with food. [32:45] Salty Wisdom: Unlocking the Vital Role of Salt in a Keto Journey -       Errin learned a valuable lesson about the importance of salt in her keto journey. Not taking in enough salt contributed to adrenal fatigue and heightened stress levels. -       She emphasizes the significance of incorporating sufficient salt into her routine, particularly in the morning. -       Errin reflects on her experience with Bulletproof coffee and fasting, highlighting that what works for one person may not work for another. She found that she personally needs fat and protein from beef in the morning, and this realization became a game-changer for her overall well-being. -       Incorporating a beef breakfast with sea salt and an egg had a profound impact on Errin's energy levels and overall feeling of well-being. She describes it as a complete turnaround and emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own nutritional needs, especially in the morning. [40:00] Errin's Exploration of Deeper Desires Beyond Food -       Errin emphasizes the importance of discovering the root cause of cravings, looking beyond emotional eating, binge eating, and food addiction. She believes that underneath these behaviors, individuals are often craving something deeper than just food. -       Errin interprets the core craving as a desire for connection to oneself. She highlights moments in life when people are fully engaged, such as celebrating a victory at a football game, dancing at a wedding, or witnessing joyous events like Christmas morning. In those moments, individuals are not preoccupied with food but are deeply connected and alive. -       Errin acknowledges the spiritual side of the deep dive into cravings. She shares her personal journey of pushing away spirituality due to toxic perfectionism in her Christian upbringing. However, she recognizes the importance of reconnecting with a higher power and finding purpose as part of the journey to peace from the inside out. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Russell Kennedy here with me. He is a medical practitioner who also holds a degree in neuroscience and is dedicated to assisting those with mental illness. In addition, he is the author of the book Anxiety Rx, a certified yoga instructor, a speaker with the National Speakers Bureau. For many years, he worked as a doctor during the day and a stand-up comedian at night, appearing in comedy clubs all over the country. His expertise is anxiety because he too suffered from it for a long time and wants to prevent others from going through what he did. He is well-known as The Anxiety MD.  Dr. Kennedy grew up with a father who had a lot of challenges and essentially faced many challenges himself. His father had schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and had a lot of trauma in his environment growing up. One of the reasons Dr. Kennedy became a physician was his feeling of impotence watching his dad decline over and over and he wanted to have power over illness somewhat. In this episode, Dr. Kennedy speaks about his experiences with mental illnesses. He also talks about his challenges growing up with a mentally challenged father and how he was able to transform into the man of medicine he is today.

One of his teachers eventually became his patient and they had a laugh about the past. His seventh-grade bully also came to him as a patient. Meeting him was one of his biggest lessons he learned while practicing medicine. He realized that the bully was traumatized from childhood and took it out in the only place that he could. You cannot compare traumas. [13:00] The Biggest Enemy in Healing Anxiety You cannot expect a book to heal your anxiety. It only provides you with the framework, the work is yours to do. The biggest enemy in healing anxiety is an overprotective ego. An overprotective ego doesn't let you go back and experience the same pain that you were used to. Unless you can go back and feel it, you can't bring it to the surface, a place where you can start changing. You cannot change them unless you use feeling to change them. [29:13] Changing Your Physiology in Combination with Mindset The biggest thing in changing one's physiology is breathing. As soon as you focus on your breath, it naturally slows down. The mind usually runs too quickly that the body has no choice but to breathe quickly, shrinking down your chest. When your chest shrinks, it sends a message to the brainstem that you are in trouble. Your breathing becomes very shallow. [39:05] Understanding the Root of Anxiety, "Body Alarms", and Healing A lot of people don't even think to look at their body because their mind is usually moving too fast to process anything. When you are anxious or alarmed, you must investigate your body and find the cause. A lot of people who are of senior age haven't even thought of looking at the anxiety in their bodies. The mind reflects how the body feels. If you have an alarm in your system that's been there due to past trauma, your mind is going to react to it repeatedly until it becomes its go-to. [1:02:39] Unconsciously Reliving Trauma through Mind Regression If you have chronic stress like a lot of people, especially those who had a traumatic or abusive past, your mind gets pushed back into the time when you experienced such things. There is a theory that states that if you experienced a significant trauma as a child, part of you stays locked at that certain age until it gets brought back up. Mirror work deals with this by reminding yourself that you are living in the present. AND MUCH MORE!

With a passion for video production, Alastair has made a significant mark in the world of journalism, capturing attention with his engaging and insightful content. In this episode, Alastair dives into the intricate interplay between UV light and opioid receptors. Alastair takes us through the nuanced connections between light exposure and mood disorders, shedding light on the intriguing parallels between sunlight and opioid experiences. We address opioid addiction and the dualities surrounding tanning beds, challenging conventional approaches with the potential of UV light as a substitute. Lastly, we cover the controversy surrounding sunblocks, navigating discussions involving dermatologists, and emphasizing a balanced perspective on skin cancer prevention and vitamin D synthesis.

The hypothesis suggested that UV light could affect opioid receptors in human brains. -       Alastair took a proactive approach to test his hypothesis by exposing himself aggressively to UV light. Living in New York City, he deliberately spent two hours in the sun every day during the summer, in addition to using a tanning bed vigorously. The goal was to maximize exposure to UV light. -       Alastair was strategic about the timing of UV exposure, going out between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., which is considered the highest UV index. He aimed to expose himself during the peak hours of UV intensity to enhance the effectiveness of the experiment. [08:30] Narcan's Swift Action and Alastair's UV Light Experiment -       Narcan rapidly detaches substances that bind to opioid receptors in the brain. It acts quickly, causing not only a reversal of the respiratory effects but also inducing withdrawal symptoms if the person is not breathing. This mechanism serves as the basis for Alastair's experiment. -       Alastair hypothesized that if there is a correlation between UV light and the opioid effect in the brain, Narcan, known to work on normal opioid usage, should have a similar effect in the presence of UV light. This led him to experiment by exposing himself to UV light and then taking Narcan, resulting in a full withdrawal experience. -       According to him, the consistent results indicated that UV light does indeed affect opioid receptors in the brain. -       Alastair's experience lends support to the notion that UV light has a significant and consistent impact on opioid receptors in the brain. [12:30] An Exploration of Light, Mood, and the Subtle Opioid Influence of UV Rays -       Alastair decided to dig deeper into the connection between light exposure, particularly visible light, and mood disorders like SAD. -       He discovered that, separate from the positive effects of visible light seen in SAD treatment, there's another aspect involving UV light, which is not visible to the human eye. -       UV light, distinct from visible light, has effects on the body, including replenishing vitamin D levels and influencing opioid receptors. -       Alastair explained that UV light, over time, subtly affects human opioid receptors, similar to substances like heroin, morphine, fentanyl, and Vicodin. -       While the response is not as strong, prolonged exposure to sunlight can lead to feelings of tiredness or reinvigoration, akin to experiencing a mild opioid stimulation. This sheds light on why people may enjoy spending a day at the beach or using tanning beds to achieve a subtle opioid effect. [19:20] Addressing Opioid Addiction and Tanning Bed Dualities -       Alastair suggests that one approach to address opioid addiction is to ensure individuals receive enough sunlight and vitamin D throughout their lives. By maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D, the brain may be less likely to respond to prescription painkillers in an addictive manner, potentially preventing addiction from the outset. -       Researchers are exploring an alternative approach for individuals already abusing or dependent on opioids. Instead of traditional methods like methadone clinics, where individuals are gradually tapered off opioids, there is evidence suggesting that ultraviolet (UV) light could serve as a substitute. -       Alastair discusses the dual nature of tanning beds. While he initially doubted the concept of tanning bed addiction, he acknowledges that there is compelling evidence from esteemed researchers suggesting that tanning beds, with their potent UVA light, can be as addictive as synthetic opioids like Vicodin or Oxycodone. -       However, he also highlights the potential use of tanning beds as a tool to help individuals transition off synthetic opioids. [23:45] Sunblock Controversies: Balancing Skin Cancer Prevention and Vitamin D Synthesis -       The use of sunblock is a controversial subject, particularly in discussions involving dermatologists who often focus on skin cancer prevention. -       Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation, especially from the sun, is known to cause skin cancer. While some doctors recommend avoiding UV light and using vitamin D supplements, Alastair suggests a more relaxed approach, emphasizing the benefits of an active lifestyle and time spent outdoors. -       Some doctors advocate for sunblock as a means to prevent skin cancer, while others, like Alastair, express concerns about its potential negative impact on vitamin D synthesis. -       Alastair expresses skepticism about the marketing behind sunblocks, suggesting that it may not always be honest. [48:00] A Journey through Mood Changes and Tanning Bed Seeking Behavior -       As the seasons changed, Alastair noticed a shift in his mood and described feeling a compulsion in the back of his mind. This compulsion led to what he referred to as "tanning bed seeking behavior." -       He experienced a sense of low-level gloom and a compulsion to seek out tanning, akin to textbook drug-seeking behavior. -       Alastair was mindful of the behavioral changes he observed in himself, characterized by a compulsion to seek out tanning beds. -       He noted that the compulsion to seek out tanning eventually went away. While he initially felt the urge to address the low mood through tanning, with time, the compulsion subsided. AND MUCH MORE!

Improve Your Environment to Get Rid of Sleep Interrupters  -       To have a good sleep, you need to eliminate or manage the amount of light in your room.  -       Your circadian clock will be disrupted if you're not managing light properly. Start dimming the lights in your house or create some ambient lighting so you can see where you're going. -       You can use red light bulbs that help as well. Some people will put on some blue light bulbs and turn those on. -        Use blue light-blocking glasses. Pick one of these and try to manage darkness again about 90 minutes before your target bedtime. -       You need to check the temperature. It is advisable to sleep in a chilly place to have a good sleep. -       Boost your serotonin and get better sleep. Anything you can do to increase your serotonin will improve your sleep.  [21:58] Lack of Sleep? You Should Enhance Your Sleeping Schedule!  -       To optimize your sleeping schedule, you need to wire genetically to wake up with light.  -       Light is better than just being jarred awake with some form of alarm in raising the temperature. -       You can use melatonin which is good for falling asleep. It's good for triggering the hormonal cascade we want for deep sleep. -       You can power through that target bedtime, get that cortisol response, and your sleep is compromised. That's a good time to use melatonin to help shut your brain down and calm yourself out. -       Dream optimizer is awesome for people that wake up in the middle of the night and want to go back to bed. A couple of sprays will get you another round of sleep.  [31:30] Does Melatonin Really Help You Sleep? Let’s See!  -   Melatonin also helps regulate your body temperature, blood pressure, blood glucose, body weight, and levels of some hormones. -   Your melatonin levels start to rise when it’s dark outside, signaling your body that it’s time to sleep. They then decrease in the morning to promote wakefulness when it’s light outside. -   Melatonin also binds to receptors in your body to help you relax. Melatonin’s exact mechanisms are unclear. Research suggests that these processes may help you fall asleep. -   Melatonin is an effective supplement that may help you fall asleep, especially if you have insomnia or jet lag. It may offer other health benefits as well. [39:45] GABA: A Molecule of Chills and A Really Powerful Neurotransmitter -   Insomniacs are about 30% deficient in GABA and there's a genetic component to insomnia.  -       Supplementing with GABA can be powerful. Every form of GABA on the market is tested, and probiotics will produce neurotransmitters. -       When you take GABA, it signals through your gut to your brain that it's there, it's present, because it will not cross the blood-brain barrier. [46:58] Want to Try an Effortless Way to Track Your Sleep? Try Sleep Sensing! -       There is a pattern where your body will try to emphasize deep sleep or REM sleep; now both are happening all the time. - Only when a brain electrode is worn can you obtain reliable sleep tracking data. Pushing your brain that hard allows it to recover faster. The breakthrough Matt uses practically every night is consistently effective, and he has no problems. -       The other cool thing about the breakthrough is that you can play around with the dose. Some people get better results with one scoop, about four grams, and the full dose is two scoops.  AND MUCH MORE!

Some individuals claim to have been using peptides for decades. -       Nat provides a definition of peptides as small proteins consisting of 50 amino acids or fewer. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and peptides play a role in various biological processes. -       There is a subset of peptides called bioregulator peptides, which are extremely small (2 to 4 amino acids). These peptides have the unique ability to cross cellular membranes and reach the nucleus of the cell. -        Nat expresses frustration with the nomenclature of peptides, highlighting that the names can be confusing and challenging to navigate. [29:15] Peptide Wisdom: Exploring Efficient Delivery, Potency, and Regulatory Changes -       Nat suggests that the most efficient way to take peptides is through subcutaneous injection, similar to insulin injections used by diabetics. This method involves injecting the peptide into the layer of fat just beneath the skin using a small insulin needle. -       Nat shares a personal experience with using oxytocin as a peptide, highlighting the remarkable and powerful effects even with small amounts. She describes feeling physiological responses such as flushing, pressure in the ears, and a unique sensation in the head within a minute of application. -       Nat emphasizes the importance of respect and caution when using peptides, as they are endogenous to the human body and carry significant potency. -       Plus, Nat discusses the evolving landscape of peptides and mentions recent FDA regulations. [41:00] Optimizing Peptide Effectiveness -       Nat uses the analogy of peptides being like work crews coming in to do the work in a house. However, for the peptides to be effective, the environment needs to be conducive, and the analogy emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying issues before expecting optimal results. -       She highlights the tendency of people to focus on adding solutions without considering the need to remove obstacles first. Nat stresses the importance of clearing the terrain and addressing existing issues, infections, or distractions that may hinder the effectiveness of peptides. -       Nat discusses recent FDA regulations affecting the availability of certain peptides. -       She mentions the potential challenges faced by people with autoimmune conditions or specific infections who rely on these peptides for positive health impacts. [45:30] Mastering Peptide Balance -       Nat explains the difference between taking exogenous growth hormone (which requires a prescription and may lead to a negative feedback loop) and using growth hormone secretagogues. The latter class of peptides signals the brain to produce and release more of the body's own growth hormone without the same risk of shutting down natural production. -       The concern with peptides, particularly growth hormone secretagogues, is the potential for receptors to become numb or involute. -       Nat emphasizes the importance of cycling peptides, taking breaks, and not overdoing them. By doing so, individuals can avoid the negative feedback loop and maintain the effectiveness of the peptides. -       Nat emphasizes the need for smart and informed use of peptides, with a focus on avoiding potential issues such as receptor numbness and negative feedback loops. [47:50] Unlocking the Fountain of Youth: Bioregulator Peptides for Age Reversal -       Nat introduces the concept of bioregulator peptides, emphasizing their role in age reversal and geroprotection. -       These peptides are designed to promote healthy aging and may have anti-tumor properties, contributing to the prevention of diseases associated with aging. -       Nat mentions epitalon, a bioregulator peptide derived from the pineal gland, which is believed to have anti-tumor properties. -       Plus, Nat discusses GHK copper peptide, a unique peptide with only three amino acids. -       GHK copper activates over 4,000 genes and is known for its wide range of applications. It has notable benefits for the skin, such as upregulating collagen and elastin production, reducing scarring, and aiding in wound healing. [52:00] The Power of Bioregulators Sourced from Animal Organs and the Ancestral Tradition of Optimal Organ Nutrition -       Nat explains that bioregulators when used as supplements or injections, are sourced from the organs of animals. This leads to the insight that consuming organ meats can be a way to provide the body with the specific nutrients and compounds needed for optimal organ function. -       Nat highlights the ancestral wisdom of matching organ consumption with specific health needs. -       If someone has a heart problem, consuming heart meat may be beneficial. This aligns with traditional practices in ancestral societies where individuals ate various parts of animals to address specific health concerns. -       Nat emphasizes that in ancestral societies, organ meats were highly valued and considered the best parts of the animal. While muscle meat was consumed if nothing else was available, organs like the heart, liver, and bone marrow were seen as essential and beneficial for overall health. AND MUCH MORE!

She realized she had been struggling with health issues as she went through college and continued to experience more. Eventually, she was also diagnosed with skin cancer.     Through her recovery journey, she found her passion for being a personal trainer.     The sun is not the cause of skin cancer. Instead, it is what is happening underneath the skin. [04:50] When Nothing Seems to Work, Think Mold!     Jenn discussed how her family was residing around the Northern California farm fields where substantial power lines and other aspects that possibly have radiation affected her health.     After about two years of being healthy and feeling great, Jenn's health started deteriorating again due to her mold exposure.     If pets have similar symptoms of mold exposure, such as weight loss, it signifies unhealthy environmental changes.      Mold exposure causes estrogen elevations, resulting in weight gain, breast tenderness, and acne.     Exercise alone will not get you well in this day and age. [26:26] The Body’s Reaction to Stress     When your body is experiencing a load of stress, you have to redefine what stress is.     Hormesis is staying in this hormetic feeling, and a slight stress you adapt to is excellent. But the body will not adjust to a strenuous workout if your stress bucket is filled with different kinds of stress.     Devices such as oura rings are great tools for creating consciousness and awareness of what is happening to our bodies.  [37:25] The Root Cause of Acid Reflux & How to Get Rid of It!     The most common correlation with acid reflux is an H. pylori bacteria overgrowth.     Another common correlation with acid reflux is eating inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy or grains.     People with a stressful lifestyle tend to have H. pylori bacteria.     Keratin's purpose is to capture this oxygen free radical and protect against oxidative damage so the leaf is not destroyed. [43:51] What is the Most Accurate Test for H. pylori?     As there are different lifestyles, there are also corresponding tests for testing H. pylori, such as stool samples and GI map tests.     Most Vitamin Es are 95% Tocopherol, and 5% will be Tocotrienols. [47:12] The Best Tips For Supporting Liver Health     The liver helps to filter things out from getting into the gut, such as toxins and other stuff.     Since World War II, over 150,000 toxins have been introduced into our environment. Research shows us that our body encounters two pounds of toxins daily.     Because humans live longer lifespans than animals and organisms, the evolution of changes in the body takes longer.     Eat organic, minimize toxic exposure from food, manage skincare products, and keep environmental surroundings clean.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Alan Goldhamer here with me. He is the founder of TrueNorth Health Center, a state-of-the-art facility that provides medical and chiropractic services, psychotherapy and counseling, as well as massage and body work. He is also director of the Center's groundbreaking residential health education program. In this episode, Dr. Goldhamer emphasizes the necessity of fasting as a response to dietary excess, which he identifies as a leading cause of prevalent health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and cancer. He describes visceral fat, which accumulates around the organs, as particularly harmful, likening it to a tumor that secretes inflammatory substances. The modern diet, laden with hyper-concentrated substances like salt, oil, and sugar, tricks the brain into overeating by artificially stimulating dopamine. This leads to widespread obesity and related diseases.  Dr. Goldhamer emphasizes that accurately measuring autophagy, especially minute-by-minute, is extremely challenging due to biological limitations, even in animal studies. While biomarkers can offer a generalized picture of autophagy, developing non-invasive, reliable indicators remains difficult. He underscores that acute responses, necessary for health, complicate precise measurement.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Devon & Peter. Devon is Peter’s brother-in-law. Devon is a healthcare scientist and engineer, and Peter is a food and beverage entrepreneur. Together, they created Kenetik, a healthy ketone energy drink free of sugar and caffeine, with a real fruit flavor.  Devon and Peter have known each other since their teenage years. They are hardworking, entrepreneurial, and very conscious of health and wellness. Additionally, they both have families to take care of. Dealing with their busy life, they think about how they can be efficient and excel in their work simultaneously.  This is where they discover ketones, an unknown source of energy. They start experimenting and researching ketones. The problem is they found out that ketones in the market are expensive, taste bad, and are ineffective. From there, they began to initiate their study, find sources, get ingredients, and finally create their product called Ketenik, a high-quality exogenous ketone.  In this episode, Devon and Peter talk about what exogenous ketones are and their benefits, and how drinking ketones boost your brain power. Devon and Peter discuss the different types of ketones and the difference between their products of other companies. Devon and Peter dive in about the help of ketones in dealing with radiation. Tune in as we chat about the exogenous ketones, the boost it brings to our body, their pros and cons, and the best time to drink Ketenik.

[29:36] The best time to use the kenetik exogenous ketone drinks -       Normally, morning is the best time to drink kenetik. -       Ketones can be used before a workout to have energy without elevating the heart rate.   -       When you must keep going at night, Ketenik energy can be drunk instead of coffee. -       Drinking Ketenik can satiate hunger when fasting. -       There is a study that shows you won't become intoxicated if you drink Ketenik first. [37:48] How Do Ketones Protect Us from Radiation and Magnetic Fields? -       A study shows 60% reduction in chromosomal injury after exposure to gamma radiation when supplemented with ketones. -       Consuming Ketones will help people with the APOE4 gene since they do not metabolize glucose but do metabolize ketones. -       People with Alzheimer's can still use ketones for energy for their brains. [42:32] Using Ketones to Increase BHB and Handle Reactive Hypoglycemia -       Increasing 0.8 Beta-hydroxybutyrate with 10 grams of Keteniks takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and it’ll be above 2.0. -        It will depend on a person's body size and other factors. -        It is interesting to see the result of using exogenous ketones to shift faster out of reactive hypoglycemia.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. John Demartini. He is a polymath and a world-renowned human behavior expert. Students have described his work as the "most comprehensive body of work” and "an extensive library of wisdom.” Dr. John Demartini's mission and vision is to share knowledge and wisdom that empowers you to become a master of your own life and destiny. He's an internationally published author, a global educator, and the founder of the Demartini Method, a revolutionary tool in modern psychology. His education curriculum ranges from personal growth seminars to corporate empowerment programs. His teachings synthesize knowledge and wisdom from the greatest minds through history, and his curriculum is designed to help you empower and inspire all seven areas of your life. In this episode, Dr. Demartini joins the show to talk about how symptoms are your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. When you have a symptom, your body tries to guide you on moderating your behavior and living wisely. Tough conversations can even lead to symptoms; for instance, your sympathetic nervous system activates during a problematic confrontation, and blood sugar increases. Tune in as we chat about why judging people harms your health and how the right job can be great for your cardiovascular system.

Instead, you should eat to perform at your peak.  You won’t have symptoms out of the blue when you eat moderately quality foods. You can always trace your symptoms to a reason.  Sadly, we have overlooked what the body’s wisdom is.  The Wisdom of The Body: https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Body-Walter-B-Cannon/dp/0393002055/benazadi-20 [08:55] How The Sympathetic Nervous System Can Increase Blood Sugar Doctors are notorious for asking diabetes patients not to eat sugar and gain weight. However, these patients don’t often want to be told what to do.  During these tough conversations, when someone has their sympathetic nervous system activated their blood sugar increases.  Sadly, we don’t give people their accountability back to change their health.  You can get a biochemical imbalance because you store up psychological issues that keep affecting hormones and transmitters.  [28:50] You Can Take Control of Your Own Recovery and Your Own Life  Take command of your life. Find alternatives to your health problems. There is no reason to exclude a health alternative.  Love, Medicine and Miracles: Lessons Learned about Self-Healing from a Surgeon's Experience with Exceptional Patients: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Medicine-Miracles-Self-Healing-Exceptional/dp/0060919833/benazadi-20 Overall, patients can participate in their own recovery.  [44:25] The Right Job Is Good For Your Health and Cardiovascular Risk Most people have the Monday morning blues.  Sadly, many people are not inspired by their work. If you have an imbalance in cytokines, your immune system responds. You will have serious problems if your sympathetic and parasympathetic are out of balance.  When someone is inspired by their work, their heart rate variability increases, their cytokines are normal, their blood pressure is down, and they don’t have any cardiovascular risk.  [50:40] Why Judging Other People Is Harmful To Your Health  When you look up to people, you minimize yourself, and your parasympathetic system dominates.  When you look down on people and resent them, you exaggerate yourself, and your sympathetic system dominates.  Whenever you judge, you feel empty.  Instead, we want to feel fulfilled; love fulfills.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Steve Hendricks. He is a freelance reporter and author of, among other books, The Unquiet Grave: The FBI and the Struggle for the Soul of Indian Country, which made several best-of-the-year lists. He has written for Harper’s, Outside, Slate, and the Washington Post. He lives in Boulder, Colorado, with his wife, a professor of family law, and his dog, a border collie cross. In this episode, Steve speaks about the inspiration behind his book: The Oldest Cure In The World. He dives into everything fasting and all the long-term health benefits of this ancient practice. Steve explains the history of fasting and why it’s having such a dynamic resurgence. Even with the same calorie intake, the person who practices fasting will have better benefits than the person who eats throughout the day. Tune in as we chat about fasting during chemotherapy, why you shouldn’t skip breakfast, and the potential side effects of extended fasting.  Purchase Steve’s latest book, The Oldest Cure In The World: https://amzn.to/3eV7C7h 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 5 day keto challenge with Dr Eric Berg, Cynthia Thurlow, Ben Azadi & The Keto Kamp Team : http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Message me on Instagram www.instagram.com/thebenazadi with the word ENERGY to learn more about coaching from me. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[02:00] Steve’s Inspiration Behind Writing His Book: The Oldest Cure In The World Steve wrote two books about politics, then he wrote a book about fasting. He started fasting in his 30s; Steve is now 52. Steve loves fasting because it is an excellent weight loss and longevity tool.  Fasting has long-term health benefits, and you don’t feel hungry when fasting. When you burn fat, ketones will suppress your hunger hormones.  Get The Oldest Cure In The World: https://amzn.to/3eV7C7h [06:35] The Difference Between Cutting Calories Without Fasting vs. Cutting Calories With Fasting A 16-hour eating window is unhealthy no matter how many calories you are eating. When we narrow our feeding window, we can start to get real benefits and repairs. Our body is a self-healing machine; we have damage that our body always fixes.  When we give our bodies a break from digestion, then our bodies can increase the repairs of damaged cells. Remember, your body doesn’t start to ramp up repairs until six hours after your last meal. [11:30] Fasting Around The World: The Religious and Spiritual History of Fasting  Fasting existed in virtually every single culture.  3,000 years ago, fasting wasn’t for health. Instead, fasting was to appease the gods.  Fasting is excellent for physiological changes that put you in a more meditative state. An ancient physiologist said that for epilepsy, you should fast and exercise. Two thousand years later, we learned that fasting could cure childhood epilepsy.  Sadly, the medicine of fasting was washed out until the last 400 years.  Now, we know that fasting is a super powerful tool for health.  [24:40] The Reason You Need To Stop Skipping Breakfast Most people who practice daily fasting skip breakfast and eat at noon for the first time. However, our bodies do not want to process nutrients throughout the evening.  Our circadian rhythms have hardwired us to process food more efficiently earlier in the day.  In the later afternoon, we become much less efficient at processing food. By nighttime, we are terrible at processing food.  [37:10] What You Need To Know About Fasting and Cancer  When you fast, your cells reject external inputs.  During a fast, your healthy cells are protecting themselves.  Fasting during chemo treatment results in less nausea, less vomiting, fewer headaches, and less fatigue.  You can increase the dose of chemotherapy when the patient can tolerate it better.  Overall, you can give more chemo, kill cancer, and hurt the patient less during a fast.  [42:20] What Can Fasting Do For High Blood Pressure?  The American Heart Association says that high blood pressure cannot be cured. However, studies show that prolonged water fasting can reverse high blood pressure. In 10 days of water fasting, 80% of high blood pressure patients can achieve normal blood pressure and get off their medications.  People with the worst blood pressure had the best outcomes from water fasting.  [47:35] Productivity or Lack of Energy: Potential Side Effects During A Longer Fast  Many people find difficulty with long fasts when they are unhealthy. Fasting can result in skin rashes, nausea, headaches, and fatigue.  During a fast, you can become more contemplative or more productive.  Overall, there are many good and bad side effects that happen. During a prolonged fast, Steve would feel excellent and thoughtful. On other days, Steve would have no energy. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Tero Isokauppila. Tero is the founder of Four Sigmatic, a nature-centric Finnish-American company specializing in functional mushrooms, superfoods, and adaptogens. Born in Finland to an agronomist father and nursing teacher mother, Tero was the 13th generation to grow up on the Isokauppila farm. There, he foraged for mushrooms and other wild foods while learning about nature at an early age. In this, he frequently channeled his middle name Tapio, the Finnish god of forests, animals, and mystics. Following his early education on the farm, Tero later completed a Degree in Chemistry and a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University. In 2006, he won a Finnish innovation award for discovering that the sought-after Japanese culinary matsutake mushrooms also grow in Finland. In 2012, he left a corporate position to start Four Sigmatic. Tero is a reputable source on superfoods, an expert on natural health, and has been a featured speaker, for example, at Summit Series, Wanderlust, Further Future, Culinary Nutrition Conference, and WME-IMG. In this episode, Tero Isokauppila speaks about how adaptogenic mushrooms improve human performance. Depending on your health goals, Tero breaks down how long you may need to try adaptogenic mushrooms to reap the health benefits. Whether you like it or not, we are all consuming fungi in some form or another. Tero reveals the best way to introduce plants into your diet, especially if you have gut issues. Tune in as we chat about the benefits of mushrooms on our sleep, mood, and stress levels.  Get Tero’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Tero-Isokauppila/e/B075FWW236/benazadi-20 Purchase Four Sigmatic here: https://foursigmatic.sjv.io/yRN663 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 5 day keto challenge with Dr Eric Berg, Cynthia Thurlow, Ben Azadi & The Keto Kamp Team : http://www.ketokampchallenge.com / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[11:40] How Long Will It Take To Reap Benefits From Adaptogenic Mushrooms?  How long do you need to use something to reap benefits?  Usually, people will say thirty days or something along those lines. In reality, it depends on the desired benefits in your body.  If you have gut and autoimmune issues, you may be on a journey for a few years. You cannot heal gut issues within a month.  Skin will heal itself in about thirty days.  Energy production is instantaneous - if you want to increase energy, that can be done quickly.  [15:50] What To Know About The Effects of Theobromine and Magnesium  Theobromine is one of the main compounds in real chocolate or cacao. Theobromine is a sister compound to caffeine.  Magnesium is one of the minerals that are critical for our body function. Many people think of supplements and diet as upper and downers; however, many things can be both simultaneously. For instance, green tea can have caffeine and a calming effect.  Theobromine and magnesium are great for balanced energy and balanced performance.  [18:35] Whether You Like It Or Not, You Are Consuming Fungi In Some Form There is no world where you’re not consuming fungi. Fungi is on your skin and your gut. Plus, you are breathing in fungi.  Whether you want it or not, you will have fungi in your gut.  When you want to reap the health benefits of fungi, you first need to fix your gut. Carnivore is a great launch point.  Your gut is severely disrupted if you have indigestion and acid reflux. However, you shouldn’t run away from plants and compounds. [26:05] How To Do An Elimination and Reintroduction Diet With Plants  Eliminating and reintroducing one plant at a time will help determine how your body responds to the plant.  Once you get better at recognizing your body, you also start to spot symptoms when they're subtle. Intuitive eating is a great way to see how your body responds to plants.  When introducing a plant, consume it on an empty stomach to see how you respond.  [32:30] Will Mushrooms and Coffee Break Your Fast?  If you want to do a pure fast, you’re giving your liver a complete break. If that’s the case, you shouldn’t consume mushrooms.  If you’re still processing coffee and green tea, mushrooms wouldn’t break your fast. Mushrooms won’t spike your insulin if you’re just doing a water fast, but it’s technically breaking your fast since it is not water.  Mushrooms are one more thing that your body must digest even though it doesn’t contain calories. [41:00] The Best Mushrooms For Deeper Sleep and Improved Mood  Mushrooms and adaptogens will impact the mind. If you’re in a good mood, you will sleep better. Reishi mushrooms are great for sleep. Another mushroom that is famous for improving sleep is ashwagandha.  Many adaptogens will improve your stress levels. When you’re stress levels are improved, your sleep will improve. If you want deeper sleep, reisihi and ashwagandha will help you immensely.  [48:55] Chaga For Longevity: An Anti-Aging Powerhouse  A healthy body is likelier to live a long time.  Avoiding illness will help protect your body in the long run. Chaga mushrooms tend to be great for longevity.  Chaga is an adaptogenic fungus with very high amounts of superoxide dismutase.  AND MUCH MORE!

[06:10] Every Single Cell In Your Body Needs Minerals To Thrive  If you took all the water out of your body, you'd be a little pile of minerals. Your entire body, including the mitochondria, is driven off of minerals and amino acids. When you are mineral depleted, it's like the light is dimmed. Every single part of your body is made of cells; each cell requires minerals.  You have to have minerals to generate ATPs.  [09:10] Mineral Deficiency: The Reason You Aren’t Getting Enough Minerals From Your Food You can’t get minerals from the food that you eat because farming has depleted our food of natural minerals. Farmers spray the plants and the soil with things that kill the microbes. The minerals in the food that you eat are made from microbes.  Hidden hunger happens when you have multiple micronutrient deficiencies.  Overall, Caroline wants everyone to know that you need a full spectrum of minerals. Most likely, you will need supplements.  [14:25] Plant-Based Minerals Are Bioavailable So Your Body Can Use Immediately  Bioavailability has three stages: digestion, absorption, and assimilation. Without these three stages, whatever you put in your mouth is useless. When you consume something, it has to be broken down into its chemical components.  If you take a supplement made from bones, shells, and rocks, your body won’t be able to digest it properly.  However, your body is wholly evolved to digest minerals from plants.  [20:20] Assimilation: How Your Mitochondria Gets Access To Essential Minerals  Most minerals do not do their job unless they've been assimilated into the cell where the mitochondria can access them. The reason that many of us don't have good assimilation is that we don't have a lot of flavonoids in our system. Liquid plant-based minerals have flavonoids that can carry nutrients into the cell.  You can take a significant amount of magnesium; only some of it is digested.  Then a smaller portion of it's absorbed, and then a minimal amount is assimilated. [35:25] Do You Follow A Carnivore Diet? What You Need To Know About Glyphosate You want to provide the tools that your body already has evolved to use. If you eat a carnivore diet, what you really want to do is get meat that is only grass-fed all the way completely up to the end, with no grain finishing.  Sadly, most meat is finished with grain.  A lot of time, cows eat oats that get sprayed with glyphosate directly.  Learn more about glyphosate from Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D.: https://stephanieseneff.net/ [38:50] Micro-BOOST and Electrolyze For Energy Production and Detoxification  Get Micro-BOOST:  Get Beam Mineral products here: www.beamminerals.com/ketokamp use the code ketokamp for 20% off your entire order.  Get Electrolyze:  Get Beam Mineral products here: www.beamminerals.com/ketokamp use the code ketokamp for 20% off your entire order.  Micro-BOOST provides a full spectrum of micronutrients and full-system detoxification support for the body’s cellular system.  Micro-BOOST and Electrolyze give you this incredible energy associated with the fulvic nutrient uptake.  [51:00] The Reason You Need Minerals To Help With Painful Period Symptoms  Insta-Lytes is incredibly effective if you deal with monthly cramping.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Richard Smith. Richard began his keto journey for weight loss hoping to cure severe anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and daily debilitating migraines. During the year, Richard managed to lose over 100lbs. After reversing his illnesses and transforming his physical and emotional well-being via a ketogenic lifestyle, Richard was dedicated to helping transform the health and lives of others by providing support and supplements. In this episode, Richard discusses his past health problems, including obesity, diabetes, fatigue, depression, and anxiety. He reveals how keto transformed his well-being and life. Then, Richard dives into why cholesterol isn’t the enemy and how you can determine if your cholesterol profile is actually damaged or not. Richard digs deep into insulin and leptin and how to optimize these hormones. Tune in as we chat about the problem with insulin resistance and a simple test to tell if you are insulin resistant.

The worst part of Richard’s health was his anxiety; he wouldn’t be able to leave his house, car, or office. Richard never felt good enough to be around other people. Eventually, Richard realized that bread made his belly swell. So, he gave it up. Within 30 days of ditching bread, Richard lost 28 pounds. Starting keto has completely changed Richard’s life; luckily, every factor of his life has improved. [26:20] Cholesterol Isn’t The Enemy; In Fact, Cholesterol is Essential For Health Cholesterol is essential for life. It's imperative for cell formation, cell communication, nutrient absorption, nutrient transportation, and hormone production. The brain and the myelin sheath are made of cholesterol. Lacking cholesterol would be detrimental to your health. There is a massive miscommunication when it comes to cholesterol. LDL is proactive; it heals the body and repairs it. The two main contributing factors to heart disease are grains and seed oils. Seed oils do not help lower cholesterol. Reducing carbohydrates and seed oils is the best way to have healthy LDL. [35:00] Is Your Cholesterol Profile Damaged? Richard Explains Where Your Markers Should Be There’s a simple way to see whether your cholesterol profile is damaged. Triglycerides are one of the most significant factors; aim for less than 0.5%. HDL should be greater than 1.5. The triglyceride to HDL ratio should be below one. You’re in good shape if your cholesterol profile is around these markers. Remember, cholesterol is essential for life; every cell in the body is made of cholesterol. [39:45] You Can’t Store Fat Without Insulin From Carbohydrates, Sugars, and Seed Oils We can’t store fat without insulin. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas when we consume carbohydrates. Many people will eat carbs before going to the gym to have the energy to burn fat. However, when insulin is elevated, it tells the body to store fat. Eating carbs will make it almost impossible for us to burn fat for fuel. Insulin puts a biological lock on our fat stores and prevents them from leaving. Carbohydrates and sugars will increase insulin. Seed oils will also impact insulin; they cause insulin resistance. [42:40] The Foods You Eat Could Be Blocking Your Ability To Feel Full Leptin is a satiety hormone. It tells us that we have eaten and that we are full. Seed oils will block leptin. If you aren’t feeling full, you will consume more food. Grains are high in lectins; they cause five times more fat storage than insulin. Lectins in grains will also block leptin. [49:55] Richard Reveals A Simple Test To Tell If You’re Insulin Resistant As a world, we are insulin resistant. In fact, 95% of people are insulin resistant. Diabetes will start with food choices that began ten to fifteen years prior. There’s a simple way to test if you suffer from insulin resistance. You have insulin resistance if you have an overhang over your pants, belt, or skirt. Restrict carbohydrates, and you will see a reduction in insulin levels. You don’t need a myriad of medications to solve insulin resistance. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me The Meat Mafia. The Meat Mafia officially began in January 2022 with one mission: to share their wealth of practical experiences in transforming their health through an active, animal-based lifestyle. Animal-based living emphasizes the elimination of processed foods and the consumption of whole natural foods. As the name suggests, most of these foods come from animal sources, from beef to honey. In their belief, locally sourced animal-based foods optimize personal and planetary health. In this episode, The Meat Mafia speak about their health issues and how eating a carnivore diet helped Brett reverse his ulcerative colitis and improved Harrison’s inflammatory skin problems. Then, the guys jump straight into stigmas around eating an animal-based diet and how the health of our environment actually depends on regenerative agriculture and ruminating animals. Tune in as we chat about finding the best sources for your animal-based diet and what you need to know about buying meat from the grocery store.

Colitis is an autoimmune disease that affects your large intestine, which is your colon. You can’t really process any food with ulcerative colitis. Doctors tell you that colitis is an incurable disease. After listening to Dr. Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Brett changed his life forever. Listen to the episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2auwtVto0sG7OcZ0hs3aOP?si=VF4iKaIcRvS_gar_nJrZ1g. Brett experimented with the carnivore diet, and he noticed all the bloating in his stomach was gone, his skin cleared up, and his energy improved. [15:10] A Keto Lifestyle Can Reduce Symptoms of Inflammatory Skin Problems Harrison’s first interaction with the healthcare system was from skin problems. His cystic acne had everything to do with his terrible diet. Ultimately, Harrison got on Accutane. Harrison tried the paleo diet during his first year of college, and his athletic training and energy levels improved. After trying keto, Harrison lost ten pounds in a matter of weeks. [29:10] The Health Grasslands and The Health of Ruminate Animals Are Interconnected There are still stigmas around red meat being a staple of healthy nutritional diets. Also, people don’t discuss animals’ role in restoring soil quality. Anti-meat people will gravitate toward the harmful practices of agriculture. However, there are ways to raise animals that improve the soil. The Meat Mafia likes to go to farms and learn stories about practicing regenerative agriculture. Check out Roam Ranch as an example: http://roamranch.com/ [34:20] Find A Local Farmer’s Market To Support The Best System Possible Here are some resources to check out about local food sources: Wild Food Sources: https://www.wildfoods.co/ Shire: https://shireapp.io/ Beef Initiative Food Intelligence Summit: https://beefinitiative.com/ Find a farmer’s market in your area and ask if they utilize regenerative practices. When you support local farmers, you’re supporting the right system, and you can nourish your family with the best quality protein possible. [40:55] Health Is Not An Expense; Health Is An Investment If you can’t afford meat from a local farmer, you can still eat the meat at a grocery store. Always do what is best for you and your budget. Eating stuff in the grocery store’s outer aisle will make you healthier than 99% of the population. However, supporting local farms is healthier for the supply chain and you. When you nourish the body with the proper nutrients, it will be an investment in your health. [43:05] What To Know About Shopping For Meat In The Grocery Store You need your beef to be pasture raised and 100% grass-fed. When you look at chicken and pork, they are fed corn and soy diets. If possible, steer towards a beef-based diet. Also, make sure your eggs are pasture-raised. Be careful about the marketing tricks that companies use. They could write “vegetarian fed.” In reality, that means they are being fed corn and soy. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Anthony Youn. He is considered one of the nation’s best-known experts in looking younger with or without surgery. His motto is “True Beauty Is Holistic™,” and he believes all people can achieve their true beauty using a combination of holistic factors, which do not necessarily involve surgery. For the past dozen years he has shared his tips for holistic plastic surgery on such television programs as The Rachael Ray Show, The Doctors, The Doctor Oz Show, Fox and Friends, and many others. In this episode, Dr. Youn dives into the intricacies of aging, unveiling the profound impact of internal factors on our external appearance. From the critical role of autophagy in cellular renewal to navigating sun protection, skin cancer, and nutritional decline, Dr. Youn is a wealth of insights. He sheds light on the saboteur that is sugar, speaking about its role in premature aging and skin deformities.

This includes medical aspects such as plaque in arteries and cellular perspectives, like the functioning of mitochondria. Internal aging may manifest through issues like cellular waste buildup. -       The concept of autophagy highlights the importance of cleaning out cellular waste products. Dr. Youn suggests that practices like fasting can contribute to this process and support cellular health. -       Holistic health experts emphasize the connection between gut health and skin appearance. -       According to Dr. Youn, healing the gut is considered a key factor in achieving beautiful and youthful skin. This perspective aligns with the emerging understanding of the gut-skin axis. [13:00] Navigating Sun Protection, Skin Cancer, and Environmental Safeguards -       The conversation emphasizes the significance of sun protection in preventing skin damage and, more critically, skin cancer. The narrative underscores the potential severity of skin cancer, especially on the face, and the importance of avoiding it. -       Dr. Youn discusses the distinction between mineral sunblocks (sitting on the skin’s surface) and chemical sunscreens (absorbed into the body). Mineral sunblocks containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are highlighted for their surface barrier effect. However, the challenge is that they can be visible, especially on darker skin tones. -       Chemical sunscreens, particularly oxybenzone and octinoxate, are noted as potential hormone disruptors and harmful to coral reefs. This raises environmental and health concerns, restricting their use in certain locations like Hawaii or the Caribbean. -       For children, Dr. Youn suggests using physical sunblocks (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) due to their effectiveness and the children's likely indifference to the visible residue. [19:45] Nourishment in Decline: Unraveling the Erosion of Nutritional Value in Our Food Supply -       A study spanning from 1950 to 1999 examined the nutritional content of fruits and vegetables released to the public. The findings revealed a consistent decline in the nutritional status of these commonly used produce items each year. Notably, protein, iron, and vitamin C were among the nutrients that showed a decline. -       The study highlighted a concerning trend of decreasing nutritional value in fruits and vegetables year by year. This decline raises questions about the quality of the produce available for consumption, with potential implications for overall health. -       Holistic health experts often attribute the decline in nutritional content to changes in soil quality and modern farming practices. The observation is that the soil may not be as nutrient-rich as it once was, leading to less nutritious produce. -       Nutrient depletion extends beyond natural produce to ultra-processed foods. Many individuals consume these less nutritious options, compounding the challenge of obtaining essential nutrients from the modern food supply. [29:30] Sweet Saboteur: Sugar's Role in Premature Aging and Skin Deformities -       Sugar is identified as a significant contributor to premature aging in the body. -       Sugar can bond to proteins in the body, particularly collagen and elastin. Collagen, which constitutes a significant portion of the skin, provides strength and tightness. Sugar bonding to collagen can cause deformities, likened to the logs of a log cabin, preventing the skin from maintaining its youthful tightness. -       Chronic spikes in sugar lead to chronic spikes in insulin. Over time, cells may become less responsive to insulin, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels and potential development of conditions like type 2 diabetes. -       Chronic insulin spikes contribute to chronic inflammation, impacting skin health by leading to issues like breakouts and inflammation. [37:50] Red Light Therapy's Rise in Alternative Medicine vs. Traditional Medicine's Hesitation -       Red light therapy is gaining popularity in alternative medicine circles, but there appears to be a disconnect with traditional physicians, including plastic surgeons and dermatologists. -       Despite its growing popularity, discussions on red light therapy are notably absent from annual meetings and professional conversations in traditional medical fields. -       There is a substantial body of scientific literature supporting the anti-aging benefits of red light therapy for the skin. -       The therapy is believed to contribute to improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, skin hydration, and elasticity. However, the exact mechanism of how red light therapy works, possibly involving mitochondrial support, is not fully understood. [46:15] The Crucial Role of Autophagy in Aging and Strategies for Renewal -       Autophagy, a cellular recycling process, plays a crucial role in the aging process. As cells accumulate intracellular waste over time, the lack of efficient autophagy can lead to the buildup of cellular waste products, slowing down cell processes and contributing to premature aging. -       It's established that autophagy decreases with age, contributing to the accumulation of cellular waste. Dr. Youn emphasizes the importance of promoting autophagy to help cleanse cells from the inside out and address aging at the cellular level. -       Fasting is recommended as a strategy to promote autophagy. Dr. Youn suggests fasting for at least 12 hours, with a 16-hour fast being ideal. This fasting period helps initiate autophagy, allowing cells to use accumulated waste as energy and rejuvenate. -       Dr. Youn introduces the concept of an "autophagy diet" designed to continue the autophagy process even after breaking a fast. The diet involves high-fat, low-protein foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (cold-water fish, nuts, seeds) and polyphenol-rich foods (dark-colored fruits and vegetables). This approach aims to supercharge autophagy without requiring extended fasting periods. AND MUCH MORE!

Today Ben sheds some light on the 5 worst carnivore mistakes causing weight gain and disease. You may be surprised by these little known secrets of carnivore. #1 Not Eating Enough Fat: A common misconception is that the carnivore diet is all about protein. However, adequate fat intake is crucial for energy, satiety, and hormone balance. Neglecting fat can lead to fatigue, hunger, and nutrient deficiencies. #2 Not Prioritizing Organ Meats: Organ meats like liver, kidney, and heart are nutritional powerhouses, packed with essential vitamins and minerals that are often lacking in muscle meat alone. Skipping organ meats can lead to deficiencies over time. #3 Not Managing Electrolytes: The carnivore diet can lead to changes in electrolyte balance, particularly sodium and potassium. Not paying attention to electrolyte intake can result in headaches, fatigue, muscle cramps, and other health issues. #4 Not Transitioning Gradually: Jumping into the carnivore diet too quickly can shock the body and cause digestive issues, fatigue, and other side effects. A gradual transition is crucial to allow the body to adapt to the changes in food intake. #5 Doing the carnivore diet for too long. Ignoring Individual Needs: Every person is different, and the carnivore diet may not be suitable for everyone. Ignoring individual needs and preferences can lead to frustration, burnout, and potential health complications.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, SelfHacked, and LabTestAnalyzer. He is a thriving speaker and entrepreneur that has been independently researching health and science for over 15 years. Growing up with a myriad of health issues that conventional medicine failed to solve pushed Joe to study his own genes to get to the root cause of his problems. After fixing his chronic health issues with a personalized gene-based approach to health, he knew that he needed to share this information with the masses. Founding SelfHacked, LabTestAnalyzer and SelfDecode was Joe’s way of helping people take their health into their own hands. Now, Joe regularly speaks at events alongside the world’s top health experts and continues to work on enhancing his company’s products to provide people with access to cutting-edge tools and information designed to optimize health. In this episode, Joe talks about how his health started to crumble in his early twenties. When he decided to study the body to improve his health, Joe learned how genes could be the answer to optimizing his life. We talk about the critical markers for your body and how SelfDecode can be a life-changing tool for your health journey. Joe dives into all the things affecting your health like diet, sleep, stress, and environmental toxins.

Eventually, his health crashed.  When his health crashed, Joe realized that he needed to study biology and how the body works.  He discovered that there was a lot of opportunity within genes to optimize his health.  [04:50] The Best Markers You Should Run For Your Own Body Joe uses his website, SelfDecode, to go in-depth on his tests. Check out his site here: https://selfdecode.com/ (use code KETOKAMP) People need to look at the whole picture of their test results. Don’t get lost in the minor details.  If you have genetic sequencing done, you can use that for SelfDecode. If you don’t have one, you can purchase it from them.  [11:25] You Don’t Feel Well Because You Are Eating An Unsuitable Diet Many people are attracted to a diet when they notice they feel better from it. Joe eats a low-carb and meat-based diet. Genetics has something to say about how people digest carbs. Some genes are related to how people interact with their diet.  Many genes are related to how people process fats. [18:05] About The Sleep Deficit and What Problems Joe Will See With Sleep Sleep is an art.  Sleep is something that people have to be conscious of and not take for granted.  There's a lot of things that could go wrong with sleep.  Some problems that you could be having with your sleep: Not enough REM Not enough slow-wave Waking up in the middle of the night Having to pee Not getting a good rhythm  Waking up from the light too early Light in the room at night Poor temperature Eating too late As you can see, so many things can go wrong with your sleep. If you don’t sleep well, you are not going to feel well. If you aren’t tracking your sleep, you will never know.  [22:55] Light Exposure Is Great For Feeling More Productive   If you don’t go outside during the day, you aren’t going to feel as good.  Joe gets at least three hours of light a day. When he gets light, he notices an impact.  You need at least two hours a day minimum.  The more light you get each day, the better off you are going to be.  Don’t wear your sunglasses!  If you don’t get a lot of sun exposure, red light therapy can be the next best option.  [29:30] How Unhappiness and Stress Can Affect Your Health Journey  One of the main contributors affecting your longevity and health has to do with stress. The people who live longer deal with stress a lot better. Stress really is detrimental to the body in many ways. If you don't have good personal relationships, that can cause a lot of stress.  Community is another great way to feel better and less stressed.  [36:30] Natural Stressors Are A Great Way To Feel Better  Exercise is a great natural stressor. Other stressors include cold and hot therapies.  Changing your diet is another stressor. If you aren’t stressing your mind and your body, then you aren’t going to grow.  [38:05] Environmental Toxins Are Causing Health Problems  VOCs, mold, and environmental pollution are causing health problems.  Open up your windows every single day to help with environmental toxins.  Getting outside will also be helpful.  When you breathe in the fresh air, it helps your immune system.  [43:55] What's The Difference Between Genetic Risk and Overall Risk?  Risk is a probabilistic number.  You can prevent genetic risks by living a healthy lifestyle. If you have a high risk for something, that doesn’t mean you will get it.  Overall, having a high genetic risk doesn’t mean you actually have a high risk.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe and Rachel. They are happily married with three wonderful boys: John Paul, Anthony, and Caleb. After years of trying every type of weight loss plan you can think of, from severe calorie restriction to CrossFit, they decided to try the ketogenic lifestyle. Thankful for the opportunity to look forward to a happy and healthy future with their three adult sons, Joe and Rachel are excited to share their keto journey and hopefully encourage other families to change their diet and change their lives. After discovering the keto diet in 2017 and experiencing life-changing health results, Joe and Rachel made it their mission to share their testimony with as many people as possible. Their great hope is to encourage others who have experienced lifelong weight struggles and medical concerns. It is a game changer for their family to learn first-hand that diagnoses like morbid obesity, diabetes, arthritis, digestive issues, and chronic pain don’t have to be a life sentence. Joe and Rachel want you and your family to experience improved health.  In this episode, Rachel and Joe open the show by speaking about their past health problems, including a lifetime of obesity, chronic pain, arthritis, acne, plantar fasciitis, and migraines. After trying a ketogenic lifestyle, Rachel and Joe stopped their symptoms and completely changed their health and mental wellbeing. You’ll hear Rachel and Joe give tips on getting your significant other to try a ketogenic lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about the importance of self-love and the inspiration behind Joe and Rachel’s YouTube channel, 2 Krazy Ketos.

One day, Joe decided to look into keto.  After trying keto, Joe immediately dropped twenty pounds in the first month.  Joe lost eighty pounds after six months of keto.  Plus, Joe no longer needed to take painkillers and arthritis pills on the keto diet.  [06:20] Dieting for Decades: The Keto Lifestyle Is a Game-Changer for Rachel  Rachel had been obese her entire life, and she had been dieting for decades. It was challenging for Rachel to make friends; she was teased a lot at school.  Rachel thought the only way to maintain success was calorie restriction.  Eventually, Rachel reduced her calories to 500 a day. Once Rachel tried keto, her plantar fasciitis, migraines, and acne were all gone. Plus, she finally had sustainable weight loss.  [12:55] Struggling With Emotional Battles and Working On Self-Love  Joe still looks in the mirror and sees the 300-pound Joe. One thing Joe tells himself is that the scale is the devil and the mirror is a liar.  Even after losing weight, Joe has an emotional battle when he looks in the mirror.  After decades of being so hard on ourselves, we have to do strength training in positivity. We falsely believe that we can love others and just skip that step of loving ourselves. In reality, we need to put energy into loving ourselves.  [18:00] How to Get Your Significant Other on Board With a Ketogenic Lifestyle   People don’t get on board with keto because they think it’s another fad diet.  Don’t try and push your significant other. Instead, lead by example. Make sure to come from a place of love.  Joe was passionate about keto, so he cooked all the meals. That way, Rachel would jump on board. People must come on board when they are ready for keto. Otherwise, the lifestyle will never work.  [33:05] Looking for Support? Find Community With 2 Krazy Ketos  Joe and Rachel wanted to devise a way to talk to one another without bringing up the children.  So, Joe wanted to start a YouTube channel.  They make YouTube videos about what they eat and how they lost weight with keto. Eventually, Joe and Rachel started a community space, and they love facilitating community wherever they go. AND MUCH MORE!

In this episode we bring on the vice president of Good Idea, Eryn Knight.  GOOD IDEA is a clean, functional beverage containing five essential amino acids, chromium picolinate, zinc, and potassium for better hydration. No artificial anything, no sweetener, no caffeine; it's all top quality ingredients and a clean label. Its sparkling but it's really mild so you can chug it without burping like normal carbonated water. It is also slightly more alkaline than typical sparkling water.  There are actually 11 clinical trials and over 2 decades of research behind GOOD IDEA. The discovery is the specific ratio of amino acids and chromium picolinate. At first, they discovered pairing the chromium with the 5 amino acids was dropping post-meal blood sugar by about 10% while keeping insulin levels at the same rate as placebo; after perfecting the ratio, it improved to reduce post-meal blood sugar by 20-30% or more for some people.  Purchase Good Idea here: https://www.goodidea.us/discount/KETOKAMP use the coupon code KETOKAMP for 10% off your order. Here's what we discussed in this episode... 1. It is good for post-workout recovery and to help sustain performance. Plus, many of the BCAA drinks on the market contain artificial ingredients and sweeteners. This is clean; it's quality, with no sweeteners, calories, or junk. 2. It helps keep blood sugar numbers more stable, which in turn provides more consistent energy 3. It energizes with no caffeine, which, as we know, caffeine can increase cortisol for some people making it harder to shed fat. 3. It's good for breaking an extended fast and keeping blood sugar from spiking. 4. Chromium has been studied for its ability to reduce cravings as well. & more!
