#842 The 5 Worst Carnivore Diet Mistakes Causing Weight Gain & Disease with Ben Azadi
Today Ben sheds some light on the 5 worst carnivore mistakes causing weight gain and disease. You may be surprised by these little known secrets of carnivore.#1 Not Eating Enough Fat: A common misconception is that the carnivore diet is all about protein. However, adequate fat intake is crucial for energy, satiety, and hormone balance. Neglecting fat can lead to fatigue, hunger, and nutrient deficiencies.#2 Not Prioritizing Organ Meats: Organ meats like liver, kidney, and heart are nutritional powerhouses, packed with essential vitamins and minerals that are often lacking in muscle meat alone. Skipping organ meats can lead to deficiencies over time.#3 Not Managing Electrolytes: The carnivore diet can lead to changes in electrolyte balance, particularly sodium and potassium. Not paying attention to electrolyte intake can result in headaches, fatigue, muscle cramps, and other health issues.#4 Not Transitioning Gradually: Jumping into the carnivore diet too quickly can shock the body and cause digestive issues, fatigue, and other side effects. A gradual transition is crucial to allow the body to adapt to the changes in food intake.#5 Doing the carnivore diet for too long. Ignoring Individual Needs: Every person is different, and the carnivore diet may not be suitable for everyone. Ignoring individual needs and preferences can lead to frustration, burnout, and potential health complications.RESOURCES MENTIONED: 🥩 Grassfed and finished beef, wild caught seafood, and other high quality animal protein delivered to your door.

#841 Number One Neuroscientist: "Stop Decline Before It's Too Late!" - #1 Daily Hack To Melt Fat & Reverse Aging with Shane O'Mara
Today, I am blessed to have Shane O'Mara here with me. He is a Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin - the University of Dublin. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from NUI Galway and a DPhil from the University of Oxford. He is a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin (FTCD), and was the first Ireland-based elected Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science (FAPS) and is an elected member of the Royal Irish Academy (MRIA). He has a popular newsletter at brainpizza.substack.com - signup for slices of writing on brains, behavior, and lots in between…In this episode, Shane highlights that all public health agencies advocate for at least three to five hours of exercise per week because our bodies are designed for movement. Sedentary habits can lead to high blood glucose, type 2 diabetes, undesirable cholesterol accumulation, and increased inflammation.Tune in as we talk about how an active lifestyle is beneficial while inactivity is harmful. Exercise lowers cancer rates, especially bowel cancer. Aging increases disease risk, but a healthy body improves cell function and reduces cancer risk. To enhance your health, avoid smoking, vaping, excessive drinking, and consume a diet low in ultra-processed foods and saturated fats. Social connections are vital for mental well-being; humans' social and cooperative nature has been key to our success.Resources from this episode:

#839 Number One Harvard Doctor: Most Harmful Foods Causing Brain Disease & Cancer! With Georgia Ede
Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Georgia Ede here with me. She is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist specializing in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Her twenty-five years of experience include twelve years at Smith College and Harvard University Health Services, where she was the first to offer nutrition-based therapies as an alternative to psychiatric medication. Dr. Ede speaks internationally about nutrition science and dietary approaches to psychiatric conditions and developed the first and only medically accredited Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health Clinician Training Program. In 2022, she co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for serious mental illness and was named a recipient of the Baszucki Brain Research Fund’s Metabolic Mind Award.In this episode, Dr. Ede identifies the most harmful foods contributing to brain decline and chronic disease as refined carbohydrates, refined vegetable oils, alcohol, grains, and legumes. She explains that refined carbohydrates, such as sugar and flour, and seed oils, like soybean and canola oil, undergo extensive processing that strips them of natural properties, leading to excessive linoleic acid intake. Tune in as Dr. Ede emphasizes that a ketogenic diet is not a list of foods but a powerful metabolic intervention that can significantly alter the brain's functioning. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, individuals can lower their insulin levels, which is crucial for entering ketosis. Resources from this episode:

#833 "Try This 30 Day Protocol!" - #1 Way To Melt Fat, Kill Cancer & Reverse Diabetes with Dr. Jason Fung
Today, I'm fortunate to welcome Dr. Jason Fung for the fifth time. Jason Fung, MD, was born in 1973 and trained in Los Angeles and Toronto as a kidney specialist. He founded The Fasting Method (TheFastingMethod.com) to provide evidence-based advice for weight loss and managing blood sugars, focusing on low carbohydrate diets and intermittent fasting.In this episode, Dr. Jason Fung emphasizes that fasting should not be followed by binge eating, as it negates the benefits of the fast. The purpose of fasting is to allow the body to use its stored calories, such as glucose and fat, which is beneficial for weight loss and managing type 2 diabetes. If one consumes excessive calories after fasting, the body will store these extra calories as fat, thereby hindering progress. Tune in as Dr. Fung explains certain foods stimulate GLP-1, a hormone that helps regulate appetite. Protein-rich foods make you feel full quickly, while bitter foods like arugula, dandelion greens, ginger, and spices such as turmeric, fenugreek, and cinnamon can suppress appetite. However, while pharmaceutical interventions targeting GLP-1 can be powerful, they are not always ideal due to potential side effects, such as nausea and loss of enjoyment in food.Resources from this episode:
