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.

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.

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!

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. But what we want to do is gradually raise it over time. -       Work to figure out where you are, and then just go forward. Simply strive to improve by 1% every day, just as you would in any other aspect of your life. AND MUCH MORE!

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.

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!
