Dr. Stephen Hussey - Understanding the Heart - #41

When we were young, we learned that the heart pumps blood in the body. Well, Dr. Stephen Hussey thinks we misunderstood the heart. Growing up, he experienced different inflammatory conditions and has type-1 diabetes, which puts him at risk for heart disease. It made him devote his attention to discussions about the heart. He simply wants to take in as much information as he can.Based on his studies, how did we misunderstand the heart? It begins with the fourth phase of water, also referred to as structured water or exclusion zone water. The human body is mainly composed of water, and when water holds enough energy, it comes in contact with a hydrophilic surface like our arteries and forms the fourth phase of water. The process creates an energy gradient for our blood to flow. It wasn’t the heart doing all the pumping.In this conversation, Stephen provides valuable information about the heart and the fourth state of water, what causes oxidative stress or inflammation (which may lead to heart diseases), and the importance of metabolic flexibility. Prepare to have your mind blown.Quick Guide:0:26 Introduction2:28 What made Stephen interested in studying the heart5:25 We have misunderstood the heart’s function8:39 The fourth phase of water12:05 The heart stops contracting when our heart rates are high19:21 Cholesterol is not the culprit26:24 Metabolic flexibility30:54 Why heart cancer is rare39:25 How do we prevent heart attack46:11 Imbalance in our stress responseGet to know our guest:Dr. Stephen Hussey is a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner.

Cynthia Thurlow - #40

The healthcare system is flawed if it forces you to see more patients for profit than to focus on patients to heal them. Cynthia Thurlow doesn't want any of that anymore. As a nurse practitioner, she has a lot of autonomy in patient care, yet she felt restricted because she can’t deliver the kind of care she wants. Her big move was to leave clinical medicine and choose the path she knows she can better help patients through lifestyle medicine and nutrition.Despite people who tell her she has no business giving nutrition information, she strongly speaks up about metabolic flexibility, intermittent fasting, and why she left the system so she can heal more people. Hear all about that and more in this episode.

Today, she's a social media phenom, the creator of a viral TedX talk, a trusted voice on all things health-related for peri-menipausal and post-menopausal women, and an advocate for intermittent fasting as a health strategy.“I hope that people understand that all of these health care providers really want to do what's best for our patients, we're just so constrained within the current system.” - Cynthia ThSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Metabolic Health OG William Davis, MD - #39

Can you possibly identify if someone's at risk of a heart attack or cardiac arrest? That question run through Dr. William Davis’ mind when his mother died due to cardiac death. He found the helpful predictor and the most common cause of coronary disease, and it is not cholesterol as we were led to believe. The culprit? Grains and sugars. He counters different notions about health and treatments and addresses the factors that allow the disease to emerge in the first place: diet, lack of nutrients, and disrupted microbiome. We talked about his transformation from a traditional cardiologist to one of the leading voices in the metabolic health field. We discuss the role of supplements, hormones, and the surprising importance of probiotics in restoring and maintaining metabolic health. We finish up with an unexpected twist - symptom-specific probiota.Quick Guide:0:27 Guest Introduction2:35 Can we identify that someone’s at risk of sudden cardiac death?9:16 We can’t consume grass and digest the proteins down to amino acids14:52 Address the diet21:25 To not just give drugs, but to actually treat the cause24:26 The physicians’ willful ignorance28:31 Challenges of getting the message out in mainstream media33:24 Super Gut39:20 The SIBO process47:54 How microbiome benefits our healthGet to know our guest:Dr. William Davis is a cardiologist by training and is knowns as one of the forefathers of the metabolic health movement. He authored several books including Wheat Belly, Undoctored, and Super Gut.  “But the key here is once you look past all the nonsense, we're told, cut your fat, eat more healthy whole grains, you do the opposite, eat more fat, never eat grains, wonderful things happen.” - Dr. William DavisConnect with him: https://www.facebook.com/DrDavisInfiniteHealth/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Review of the 2022 Metabolic Health Summit - #38

Dr. Ovadia summed up his highlights during the Metabolic Health Summit last May 5-8 in Santa Barabara, CA.Testing is crucial. We can now keep track of various aspects of our metabolic health thanks to the availability of fingerstick meters, continuous glucose monitors, and at-home testing equipment.Additionally, supplements are relevant to metabolic health. It should be targeted and measured. A symptom tied to a deficiency must be present. When you supplement, its effect can be measured as the symptom improves.The ketogenic diet was initially developed as an epilepsy treatment. Studies show that it can affect nerve function and the brain. Recovery from injuries may also benefit from the anti-inflammatory effects of metabolic diets.A genetic or environmental factor contributes to the increased prevalence of cancer. However, clinical evidence also demonstrates the effectiveness of metabolic treatments for cancer.The Metabolic Health Summit brings together all the players in the metabolic health space.

Dr. Brian Lenzkes - My Insurance Company Didn't Want Me to Help Patients Heal #37

After years of treating diabetes, Brian Lenzkes understood that the answer to the disease is not just medication. His experience with fasting and low carb prompted him to focus on nutrition to treat his diabetic patients. In the process, he spent more time with them to explain things. Doctors don't even have time to discuss nutrition in the typical 10-15 minute session.  He knew he had to make changes. In this conversation, he gives us a rundown of his experience as a doctor that depends on HMO incentives. He also shared the low-carb approach to managing diabetes, and why he has now chosen to practice direct primary care.Quick Guide:05:16 Jason Fung as a mentor to understand metabolic health05:44 Brian’s medical practice06:55 The Atkins and low-carb diet09:59 Low carb as a now-accepted diet for diabetes14:10 How it works with insurance companies24:39 The role of insulin27:44 The difference between direct primary care and the HMO model46:40 Do what’s best for the patient than seeking incentives49:05 Life’s best medicine54:32 Message to the traditional doctorsGet to know our guest:Brian Lenzkes started with standard practice as a physician, but after 18 years, he focused on direct primary care. As a direct primary care doctor, he gets to spend more time educating patients about their diseases and even discussing nutrition and low-carb diet, as needed, with them. He knows it’s more important to heal the patient than just treat the symptoms and get incentives from HMO.Mentioned in this conversation Websites:  LowCarbMD.com and LowCarbMDSanDiego.comLife's Best Medicine DPC Alliance  (Direct Primary Care)Twitter: @BrianLenzkesSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
