A yoga instructor and professional equestrian turned personal trainer, Kem Minnick noticed a decline in her physical and health after years of veganism. Her personal quest for health revealed the importance of tryptophan, which is necessary for the production of serotonin in the brain. She realized that insufficient serotonin was a  root cause of her chronic physical ill-health and lack of mental clarity. Further personal experimentation proved to her that her vegan/vegetarian practice was the cause of her low serotonin. Something had to change.The Original Carnivore Swedish Bikini Chef, ex-Playboy model Kem Minnick talks her journey from being a cannabis user and vegan/vegetarian, tryptophan deficiency, why a carnivore diet helps produce serotonin, and how she was introduced to the carnivore diet by the  man who was not only the brains behind the Grateful Dead's massive wall-of-sound speaker system, but also the country's largest LSD distributor, Stanley Owsley.Quick Guide1:03 Introduction03:24 What is tryptophan and how it functions in the body12:38 The relationship between carbohydrates and serotonin16:49 What her research with Wurtmans of MIT led her to discover20:57 Stanley Owsley 25:57 Her switch from vegan to carnivore40:44 Lessons from her research to write a book on serotonin49:29 The wisdom of Temple GrandinGet to know our guestThe Swedish bikini chef, Kem Minnick became a Playboy model at age 41.

Dr. Max Gulhane - Socialized Medicine Keeps Aussies Sick - #81

One may assume that a socialized healthcare system, in which the government pays for the majority of medical expenses, would be more concerned to prevent illnesses in the first place.  Nevertheless, Dr. Max Gulhane, a general practice registrar, describes the Australian healthcare system as one that operates more like the profit-driven healthcare system of the US. The change in the population's diet and nutrition - one that promotes eating more grains, more bread, and more carbohydrate consumption - has led to an increase in the prevalence of metabolic illnesses. Yet despite the overwhelming support from credible studies that a low-carb diet helps with disease reversals, it still isn't widely accepted.Listen to Dr. Max Gulhane as he talks about animal-based diets as a key to reversing chronic diseases, why doctors are trapped in a system that heavily favors disease management more than disease reversal, and how pharmaceutical industries are weaponizing science.Quick Guide:0:50 Introduction07:17 The comparison of the Australian diet and the American diet11:48 Availability of lambs14:33 Nutritional reason to eat lambs or beef16:15 The state of obesity and diabetes in Australia21:34 What’s the community’s response toward the low-carb diet26:35 A look at the US and Australia’s healthcare system40:14 Glaxo has known Zantac is linked to causing cancer 45:50 Science being weaponized by pharmaceutical industries48:25 Closing and contactsGet to know our guest:Dr. Max Gulhane is an Australian physician who practices family medicine.

He also hosts a podcast called Regenerative Health.“Perhaps as long as you have someone in between your relationship with the patient and the doctor, in our case, Medicare, which is a government-funded health care system, who pays us as GPs to administer care to our patients, until there is, I guess, more of a direct relationship with us in the patient, you're gonna get, I guess, outcomes or treatment outcomes that aren't necessarily directed at the patieSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

SOMOT LIVE: Dr. Ovadia Responds to Inaccuracies in HuffPo Article - #79

Dr. Ovadia was quoted in a Huffington Post article. The headlines were mostly accurate, but the body of the article was a comical mish-mash of misinformation, mal-information, and outright ignorance.In this recording from a live Twitter Spaces, Dr. O sets the record straight. He also takes questions from the audience.A few excerpts on The 5 Harmful Myths About Food's Effect on Heart Health:Myth 1. A low-fat diet is best for heart health.While trans fat and hydrogenated fats found in processed foods should be avoided, saturated fat, which has been historically linked to heart disease, is not the real culprit. It's the polyunsaturated fat that’s more harmful to your health.Myth 2. Eggs are bad for your heart.Despite eggs' high cholesterol content, our blood cholesterol levels are not much impacted by the cholesterol in our diet.Myth 3. Red meat should be avoided at all costs.There is no strong evidence of red meat affecting heart health.Myth 4. If you're on medication for your heart health, it means you can eat whatever you want.Statins have little effect on weight, but a nutrient-poor diet increases the risk of heart disease. Improving your diet won't need you to take any more medications.Myth 5. Changing your diet isn't enough to reverse the damage already done to your heart.It’s never too late to start looking after your heart. A change in your diet and lifestyle can still improve your situation.Quick Guide01:33 Introduction03:21 Myth 1. A low-fat diet is best for heart health08:34 Myth 2. Eggs are bad for your heart11:55 Myth 3. Red meat should be avoided at all costs19:18 Unpacking the myth about salt28:01 Myth 4.

Dr. Al Danenberg: How to Outlive a Terminal Cancer Prognosis - #76

Al Danenberg thought he was a poster boy for a senior healthy living lifestyle and eating habits, but one sharp pain in the shoulder led to back pains, chest pains, and breathing difficulty. He found out he had incurable bone marrow cancer and had only a few months left to live.That was 2018.What helped him was a series of unconventional cancer protocols that he tweaked as he went along, but that doesn’t mean there were no setbacks. He fractured himself so many times. He was cleared with cancer cells, but COVID activated his plasma cells creating dysfunctional antibodies which damaged his bones even more.But now, he has lived beyond his prognosis.In this conversation, he shared how lifestyle and diet changes are the key to his health, and puts on his periodontist hat as he discusses ways to help our gut, what anti-nutrients are and the benefits of pulsed electromagnetic therapy.

And that's an interesting story to be told. Because for the most part, we are animal eaters, we can eat animals without a problem, unless there are certain medical issues that you might have, but for the most part, we can eat the animal products without a problem and absorb these nutrients.

Dr. Tro & Team: a New, Patient-Centric Model for Healthcare - #75

Dr. Tro Kalayjian - a formerly 350-pound doctor - had to unlearn much of what he'd been taught in medical school to get his health back.Dr. Laura Buchanan - a former athlete - had the same sort of experience. She learned early on that she wanted to integrate metabolic health into her medical practice. Despite having different backgrounds in both personal health and medicine, Dr. Tro  and Dr. Laura now collaborate to give their patients the best care possible. To address the underlying reason for a patient's health issues, the healthcare team considers the patient’s strengths, weaknesses, failures, and even appetites. They call this "patient bonding." It's a way to establish trust and rapport with the patient. In this episode, these two doctors share their perspectives on what drives the messaging for nutrition, their passion for establishing rapport and connection with patients, and the future of health tech.Listen until the end to know their fantastic announcement to help your health improve.Quick Guide01:23 Introduction12:08 Nutrition messaging and results dictated by funding, religion, dogma22:12 Deep diving into research24:32 Lessons from the CGM about nutrition27:14 What sugar does to blood vessels31:40 The importance and ways to make patient bonding happen44:01 Scaling the health tech, culture, empathy, and critical thinking48:20 Insights on intermittent fasting and metabolism52:27 Questions you want somebody to ask you54:00 Closing statements and contactsGet to know our guestDr. Tro Kalayjian, MD and Dr. Laura Buchanan work together to make a difference in patient care.

Having spent 30 years of her life as a professional dancer, she was a vegetarian, did Pilates and swimming to strengthen herself, and took care of her body as her topmost priority. But at one point in her life, a bad joint pain made her struggle to stand up or sit down. For 2 years, doctors can't diagnose what was wrong with her. With all tests exhausted, her physical therapist friend recommended changing her diet. From vegetarian to meat-centric, the change didn’t happen overnight. It was a process.
