He knew he had to make a change.A friend who'd lost 50 pounds mentioned the ketogenic diet. He'd never heard of it. So, he researched what it was and how it worked, including meal planning and macros tracking. It made sense to him, so he decided to try it. In very little time, the weight began dropping away.

Kevin Stock MD: Processed food cause of most chronic disease - #68

Diet is the most neglected part of oral health. It is also the cause of why we have crooked teeth and many other oral problems. Kevin Stock, the first dentist to guest on the show, shares relevant information about the co-relation of food and diet to our teeth, with historical evidence, and how it also affects our metabolic health. He was once an overweight kid so, at an early age, he was already interested in health and fitness. As a student, he joined physique competitions, but he knew he wasn’t healthy. He wanted to figure out the health and fitness code. A decade later, he has finally found both sides of the equation, and it's more than just body composition. In this episode, he reveals the truth about the human diet according to fossilized teeth, the pros and cons of different dental procedures, and why it’s okay if we don’t do a 100% strict carnivore diet.Quick Guide:01:14 Introduction06:32 It is not just body composition09:31 Dental school reasons and his practices14:22 The human diet according to the fossilized teeth20:36 The constant learning process of finding solutions to dental problems26:43 The reasons for getting cavities and the role of protein33:01 Oral health and its relation to metabolic health34:35 The research of Weston Price and how it’s still applicable now39:02 Healthy carbs and the food processing issue46:06 Meat-only diet and making carnivore work1:03:48 Closing and contactsGet to know our guest:Kevin Stock majored in chemistry, but instead of taking the pre-med route, he continued to dental school. His area of focus is obstructive sleep apnea and sleep-disordered breathing.“It's a poor diet that causes damage to the mouth that is causing the same kind of metabolic damage that impairing the heart as well as the brain. So, I do think that is the root cause here for sure.”Connect with him:Websites: Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message. (If you want a response, include your contact information.)

Kirsty Woods: "burning fat" isn't identical to "ketosis" - #66

Indirect calorimetry. A tongue twister of a word, but a game changer to metabolic health. Kirsty Woods of Metabolic Health Solutions from Perth, Australia has observed how valuable it is for research, particularly for polycystic ovarian syndrome, fatty liver, diabetes - basically anything associated with metabolism, but it's not just that. A technology usually confined to laboratory and study purposes, she is determined to show its greater use beyond research.

Researcher Thomas Seyfried: Cancer is a metabolic dysfunction - #64

The ketogenic diet was developed in the 1920s as a cure for epilepsy, but when epilepsy medications hit the market, the diet was entirely forgotten. Thomas Seyfried remembers that 35 years ago at Yale University, the challenge was to do something about epilepsy. At that time, it was a prime area of research in neurology. From mapping epilepsy genes, he studied ketogenic diets and how lowering blood sugar and elevating ketones could help manage epilepsy and even cancer.For years, there has been resistance towards metabolic therapy as it's not a standard of care. However, Thomas is optimistic that this will shift soon due to an increasing body of scientific evidence and testimony from patients who have survived the treatment. He goes into great detail about how the ketogenic diet aids in the management of epilepsy, how metabolic therapies function, and why the diet and lifestyle of today are the cause of the prevalence of cancer. It seems like he squeezed a semester's worth of lessons into this jam-packed episode. You might find yourself wanting to sign up for his class as well.Quick Guide:00:59 Introduction02:03 Getting into the study of epilepsy11:53 What happens when you saturate your body with fats20:17 The knowledge transfer and moving the field forward25:02 How metastasis happens30:33 Metabolic therapies will soon be the standard of care for managing cancer37:24 The downstream effect of altered metabolism44:11 The need to keep the mitochondria healthy49:32 The protocols and the benefits of metabolic therapyGet to know our guest:Thomas Seyfried, Ph.D., is a professor at Boston College and has worked on various research on how metabolic therapy can manage epilepsy and cancer.“If I develop the drug in my lab that can do what metabolic therapy can do, oh, you'd say you cure cancer.
