Kaayla Daniel, also known as the Naughty Nutritionist, talks to me this week about how to recover from soy. Yes, I said recover, because soy is not a health food, but damages our health in many ways. We’re also going to talk about her new book about bone broths called Nourishing Broth, on which she is collaborating with Sally Fallon Morell. Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #39 Recovering from Soy with Kaayla Daniel. Soy is not a health food. It should be avoided completely or eaten only on rare occasions and in fermented forms. The soybean is now being linked to breast cancer, thyroid disease, menstrual and fertility issues, as well as severe allergies, compromised immunity and brain damage. SOY DANGERS SUMMARIZED High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children. Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic disorders. In test animals, soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth. Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in women. Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease. Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body’s requirement for B12. Soy foods increase the body’s requirement for vitamin D. Soy infant formula can cause lifelong allergies, autoimmune thyroid disease, asthma, and attention deficit disorder. Fragile proteins are deformed during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein, making them very difficult to digest. Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and additional amounts are added to many soy foods. Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum that is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys. Soy HEALTH PROBLEMS SUMMARIZED Thyroid problems: including weight gain, lethargy, depression, fatigue, hair loss, and loss of libido Premature puberty Weight gain Estrogen Dominance Syndrome Developmental delays and problems in babies, children, and adolescents Asthma Causes and exacerbates endometriosis Cancer Brain damage, reducing production of new brain cells Dementia Reproductive disorders Reduced Fertility Kidney stones Weakened immune system Severe food allergies Man boobs and reduced sex drive in men About Kaayla Daniel Kaayla T. Daniel is known as The Naughty Nutritionist. Her writing and blog get a bit naughty at times! She earned her PhD in Nutritional Sciences and is board certified as a clinical nutritionist (CCN). She serves as Vice President of the Weston A. Price Foundation and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund. In 2005, Dr. Daniel received the Weston A. Price Foundation's Integrity in Science Award. Works by Kaayla Daniel Dr. Daniel’s book The Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of America 's Favorite Health Food, has been endorsed by leading health experts, including Drs. Russell Blaylock, Larry Dossey, Nicholas Gonzalez, Joseph Mercola, Kilmer McCully, Doris J. Rapp and Jonathan Wright. The Whole Soy Story is a groundbreaking expose that tells the truth about soy that scientists know but that the soy industry has tried to suppress. Soy is not a health food, does not prevent disease and has not even been proven safe. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive problems, thyroid dysfunction, Are toxic metals causing your fatigue and health issues?

Sounds strange, right? That’s what I thought, until Grace explained that this is actually a time-tested technique used in Eastern Medicine called “auricular therapy.” It’s based on the concept of meridians, energy channels connecting our brains and bodies, and pressure points, special spots on the body that activate these energy channels. And that’s just one of the weird weight loss techniques that Grace teaches her clients when they want to lose fat fast. She also makes some strange recommendations when it comes to food – namely, that you can eat plenty of delicious, savory food that will leave you feeling more satisfied than ever and still lose weight.

Dave Asprey talks to me about how you can bulletproof your coffee with...his Bulletproof Coffee. There are molds and mycotoxins lurking in your coffee that may be giving you headaches and brain fog! I learned so much about coffee and how to improve my morning cup of joe.  Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #36 Bulletproof Coffee with Dave Asprey. What is Bulletproof Coffee? The concept of Bulletproof Coffee is about using the highest quality coffee and adding brain enhancing fats to the coffee. Dave uses the lowest toxin, highest performance coffee there is (he knows, because he created it and tested it!), brews it, and then blends unsalted grass-fed butter into it, along with an extract of coconut oil that improves brain energy. Yes, butter. It makes for the creamiest, most satisfying cup of coffee you’ve ever had. It will keep you satisfied with level energy for 6 hours if you need it. And if you have it for breakfast, you will be programming your body to burn fat for energy all day long! Bulletproof Coffee Recipe Download the Bulletproof® Coffee recipe card Start with 1 cup (8 oz.) filtered water, just off the boil. Measure 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons freshly ground Bulletproof® Upgraded™ Coffee beans (approximately 2 rounded tablespoons per 6 oz. water) and brew strong black coffee using your favorite coffee brewing method. (Why this is important) Pour in 1 teaspoon Bulletproof® Upgraded™ Brain Octane™ or Bulletproof® Upgraded™ MCT Oil (build up to 1-2 tablespoons over several days). Add 1 tablespoon grass-fed, unsalted butter or ghee (build up to 2 tablespoons or much more over several days). Mix in a blender for at least 20 seconds until the drink is frothy and looks like a creamy latte without a film of oil on the surface. About Dave Asprey Dave Asprey, founder of Bulletproofexec.com, is a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent 15 years and over $300,000 to hack his own biology. Dave lost 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, upgraded his brain by more than 20 IQ points, and lowered his biological age while learning to sleep more efficiently in less time. Dave has cultivated the idea of being “Bulletproof”, the state of high performance where you take control of and improve your biochemistry, your body, and your mind so they work in unison, helping you execute at levels far beyond what you’d expect, without burning out, getting sick, or allowing stress to control your decisions. It used to take a lifetime to radically rewire the human body and mind this way, if you were lucky enough to even know it was possible. Technology has changed the rules. Dave founded The Bulletproof Executive to make these breakthroughs – and the body and brain you deserve — easily available to you in your everyday life. “One of the greatest pleasures of sharing this information on The Bulletproof Executive is the opportunity to provide proven guidance and helpful products to millions of people. It is rewarding to hear the incredible stories of how our readers simultaneously improve their performance, lose weight, and become more productive! People have more potential than they realize, and being in the Bulletproof state unlocks that potential. Because my strengths, failures, and growth have become solutions to other peoples’ problems, I am honored to share these solutions.” – Dave Asprey Find Dave Asprey Bulletproofexec.com  If you’re enjoying the Live to 110 podcast, please leave Wendy a review in iTunes.

Moises Velasquez-Manoff, author of An Epidemic of Absence, talks to me about how many of the health crises we face today are due to the degradation of our gut flora. His thoughts on the true underlying causes of disease and immune system malfunction are incredibly compelling. Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #32 An Epidemic of Absence with Moises Velasquez-Manoff. This challenges deeply entrenched notions about the value of societal hygiene and the harmful nature of microbes. About Moises Velasquez-Manoff Moises has written extensively, mostly on science and environment, for The Christian Science Monitor. His work has also appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Chicago Tribune, and the Indianapolis Star, among other publications. He holds a master of arts, with a concentration in science writing, from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. He lives in California. An Epidemic of Absence is his first book. Works Moises Velasquez-Manoff’s first book An Epidemic of Absence is a brilliant, cutting-edge exploration of the dramatic rise of allergic and autoimmune diseases and the controversial, groundbreaking therapies that scientists are developing to correct these disorders. His book explores why we are so vulnerable to immune system malfunction evident in the dramatic rise in cases of allergies and autoimmune disease. Whether it is asthma, food or pollen allergies, type-1 diabetes, lupus, multiple sclerosis, or Crohn’s disease, everyone knows someone who suffers from an allergic or autoimmune disorder. And if it appears that the prevalence of these maladies has increased recently, that’s because it has—to levels never before seen in human history. These days no fewer than one in five—and likely more—Americans suffers from one of these ailments. We seem newly, and bafflingly, vulnerable to immune system malfunction. Why? Science writer Moises Velasquez-Manoff explains the latest thinking about this problem and explores the remarkable new treatments in the works. In the past 150 years, improved sanitation, water treatment, and the advent of vaccines and antibiotics have saved countless lives, nearly eradicating diseases that had plagued humanity for millennia. But now, a growing body of evidence suggests that the very steps we took to combat infections also eliminated organisms that kept our bodies in balance. The idea that we have systematically cleaned ourselves to illness challenges deeply entrenched notions about the value of societal hygiene and the harmful nature of microbes. Yet scientists investigating the rampant immune dysfunction in the developed world have inevitably arrived at this conclusion. To address this global “epidemic of absence,” they must restore the human ecosystem. This groundbreaking book explores the promising but controversial “worm therapy”—deliberate infection with parasitic worms—in development to treat autoimmune disease. It explains why farmers’ children so rarely get hay fever, why allergy is less prevalent in former Eastern Bloc countries, and how one cancer-causing bacterium may be good for us. It probes the link between autism and a dysfunctional immune system. It investigates the newly apparent fetal origins of allergic disease—that a mother’s inflammatory response imprints on her unborn child, tipping the scales toward allergy. In the future, preventive treatment—something as simple as a probiotic—will necessarily begin before birth. An Epidemic of Absence asks what will happen in developing countries, which, as they become more affluent, have already seen an uptick in allergic disease: Will India end up more allergic than Europe? Velasquez-Manoff also details a controversial underground movement that has coalesced around the treatment of immune-mediated disorders with parasites. Against much of his better judgment, he joins these do-it-yourselfers and reports his surprising results. An Epidemic of Absence considers the critical immune stimul...

Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #31 Is Gluten the cause of your Health Problems? with Tom O'Bryan. It’s an interesting, and important, question to ask. Fortunately, Dr. Tom O‘Bryan has made it part of his personal mission to move this question into today’s conversations between patients and healthcare professionals. Asking this question could, potentially, improve the lives of millions now instead of years from now, which is how long it often takes for groundbreaking research to make it to mainstream practice. As a fellow health enthusiast, you may know how it too often takes 5-10 years before groundbreaking research finds its way into clinical practice; this will not be the case for gluten-related disorders. Asking this question could, potentially, improve the lives of millions now instead of years from now. About Tom O'Bryan Dr. Tom O'Bryan is an internationally recognized speaker and workshop leader specializing in the complications of Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity and Coeliac Disease as they occur inside and outside of the intestines. Since 2004, he has served as a teaching clinician for international audiences of Healthcare Practitioners, and currently holds teaching Faculty positions with the Institute for Functional Medicine and the National University of Health Sciences.  He serves on the Scientific Advisory Committee of the International and American Association of Clinical Nutritionists and the Medical Advisory Board of the National Association of Nutritional Professionals.
