Today, I am blessed to have here with me Devon & Peter. Devon is Peter’s brother-in-law. Devon is a healthcare scientist and engineer, and Peter is a food and beverage entrepreneur. Together, they created Kenetik, a healthy ketone energy drink free of sugar and caffeine, with a real fruit flavor.  Devon and Peter have known each other since their teenage years. They are hardworking, entrepreneurial, and very conscious of health and wellness. Additionally, they both have families to take care of. Dealing with their busy life, they think about how they can be efficient and excel in their work simultaneously.  This is where they discover ketones, an unknown source of energy. They start experimenting and researching ketones. The problem is they found out that ketones in the market are expensive, taste bad, and are ineffective. From there, they began to initiate their study, find sources, get ingredients, and finally create their product called Ketenik, a high-quality exogenous ketone.  In this episode, Devon and Peter talk about what exogenous ketones are and their benefits, and how drinking ketones boost your brain power. Devon and Peter discuss the different types of ketones and the difference between their products of other companies. Devon and Peter dive in about the help of ketones in dealing with radiation. Tune in as we chat about the exogenous ketones, the boost it brings to our body, their pros and cons, and the best time to drink Ketenik.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. John Demartini. He is a polymath and a world-renowned human behavior expert. Students have described his work as the "most comprehensive body of work” and "an extensive library of wisdom.” Dr. John Demartini's mission and vision is to share knowledge and wisdom that empowers you to become a master of your own life and destiny. He's an internationally published author, a global educator, and the founder of the Demartini Method, a revolutionary tool in modern psychology. His education curriculum ranges from personal growth seminars to corporate empowerment programs. His teachings synthesize knowledge and wisdom from the greatest minds through history, and his curriculum is designed to help you empower and inspire all seven areas of your life. In this episode, Dr. Demartini joins the show to talk about how symptoms are your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. When you have a symptom, your body tries to guide you on moderating your behavior and living wisely. Tough conversations can even lead to symptoms; for instance, your sympathetic nervous system activates during a problematic confrontation, and blood sugar increases. Tune in as we chat about why judging people harms your health and how the right job can be great for your cardiovascular system.

Instead, you should eat to perform at your peak.  You won’t have symptoms out of the blue when you eat moderately quality foods. You can always trace your symptoms to a reason.  Sadly, we have overlooked what the body’s wisdom is.  The Wisdom of The Body: https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Body-Walter-B-Cannon/dp/0393002055/benazadi-20 [08:55] How The Sympathetic Nervous System Can Increase Blood Sugar Doctors are notorious for asking diabetes patients not to eat sugar and gain weight. However, these patients don’t often want to be told what to do.  During these tough conversations, when someone has their sympathetic nervous system activated their blood sugar increases.  Sadly, we don’t give people their accountability back to change their health.  You can get a biochemical imbalance because you store up psychological issues that keep affecting hormones and transmitters.  [28:50] You Can Take Control of Your Own Recovery and Your Own Life  Take command of your life. Find alternatives to your health problems. There is no reason to exclude a health alternative.  Love, Medicine and Miracles: Lessons Learned about Self-Healing from a Surgeon's Experience with Exceptional Patients: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Medicine-Miracles-Self-Healing-Exceptional/dp/0060919833/benazadi-20 Overall, patients can participate in their own recovery.  [44:25] The Right Job Is Good For Your Health and Cardiovascular Risk Most people have the Monday morning blues.  Sadly, many people are not inspired by their work. If you have an imbalance in cytokines, your immune system responds. You will have serious problems if your sympathetic and parasympathetic are out of balance.  When someone is inspired by their work, their heart rate variability increases, their cytokines are normal, their blood pressure is down, and they don’t have any cardiovascular risk.  [50:40] Why Judging Other People Is Harmful To Your Health  When you look up to people, you minimize yourself, and your parasympathetic system dominates.  When you look down on people and resent them, you exaggerate yourself, and your sympathetic system dominates.  Whenever you judge, you feel empty.  Instead, we want to feel fulfilled; love fulfills.

In this episode, Steve speaks about the inspiration behind his book: The Oldest Cure In The World. He dives into everything fasting and all the long-term health benefits of this ancient practice. Steve explains the history of fasting and why it’s having such a dynamic resurgence. Even with the same calorie intake, the person who practices fasting will have better benefits than the person who eats throughout the day. Tune in as we chat about fasting during chemotherapy, why you shouldn’t skip breakfast, and the potential side effects of extended fasting.  Purchase Steve’s latest book, The Oldest Cure In The World: https://amzn.to/3eV7C7h 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 5 day keto challenge with Dr Eric Berg, Cynthia Thurlow, Ben Azadi & The Keto Kamp Team : http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Message me on Instagram www.instagram.com/thebenazadi with the word ENERGY to learn more about coaching from me. / / 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.

[02:00] Steve’s Inspiration Behind Writing His Book: The Oldest Cure In The World Steve wrote two books about politics, then he wrote a book about fasting. He started fasting in his 30s; Steve is now 52. Steve loves fasting because it is an excellent weight loss and longevity tool.  Fasting has long-term health benefits, and you don’t feel hungry when fasting. When you burn fat, ketones will suppress your hunger hormones.  Get The Oldest Cure In The World: https://amzn.to/3eV7C7h [06:35] The Difference Between Cutting Calories Without Fasting vs. Cutting Calories With Fasting A 16-hour eating window is unhealthy no matter how many calories you are eating. When we narrow our feeding window, we can start to get real benefits and repairs. Our body is a self-healing machine; we have damage that our body always fixes.  When we give our bodies a break from digestion, then our bodies can increase the repairs of damaged cells. Remember, your body doesn’t start to ramp up repairs until six hours after your last meal. [11:30] Fasting Around The World: The Religious and Spiritual History of Fasting  Fasting existed in virtually every single culture.  3,000 years ago, fasting wasn’t for health. Instead, fasting was to appease the gods.  Fasting is excellent for physiological changes that put you in a more meditative state. An ancient physiologist said that for epilepsy, you should fast and exercise. Two thousand years later, we learned that fasting could cure childhood epilepsy.  Sadly, the medicine of fasting was washed out until the last 400 years.  Now, we know that fasting is a super powerful tool for health.  [24:40] The Reason You Need To Stop Skipping Breakfast Most people who practice daily fasting skip breakfast and eat at noon for the first time. However, our bodies do not want to process nutrients throughout the evening.  Our circadian rhythms have hardwired us to process food more efficiently earlier in the day.  In the later afternoon, we become much less efficient at processing food. By nighttime, we are terrible at processing food.  [37:10] What You Need To Know About Fasting and Cancer  When you fast, your cells reject external inputs.  During a fast, your healthy cells are protecting themselves.  Fasting during chemo treatment results in less nausea, less vomiting, fewer headaches, and less fatigue.  You can increase the dose of chemotherapy when the patient can tolerate it better.  Overall, you can give more chemo, kill cancer, and hurt the patient less during a fast.  [42:20] What Can Fasting Do For High Blood Pressure?  The American Heart Association says that high blood pressure cannot be cured. However, studies show that prolonged water fasting can reverse high blood pressure. In 10 days of water fasting, 80% of high blood pressure patients can achieve normal blood pressure and get off their medications.  People with the worst blood pressure had the best outcomes from water fasting.  [47:35] Productivity or Lack of Energy: Potential Side Effects During A Longer Fast  Many people find difficulty with long fasts when they are unhealthy. Fasting can result in skin rashes, nausea, headaches, and fatigue.  During a fast, you can become more contemplative or more productive.  Overall, there are many good and bad side effects that happen. During a prolonged fast, Steve would feel excellent and thoughtful. On other days, Steve would have no energy. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Tero Isokauppila. Tero is the founder of Four Sigmatic, a nature-centric Finnish-American company specializing in functional mushrooms, superfoods, and adaptogens. Born in Finland to an agronomist father and nursing teacher mother, Tero was the 13th generation to grow up on the Isokauppila farm. There, he foraged for mushrooms and other wild foods while learning about nature at an early age. In this, he frequently channeled his middle name Tapio, the Finnish god of forests, animals, and mystics. Following his early education on the farm, Tero later completed a Degree in Chemistry and a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University. In 2006, he won a Finnish innovation award for discovering that the sought-after Japanese culinary matsutake mushrooms also grow in Finland. In 2012, he left a corporate position to start Four Sigmatic. Tero is a reputable source on superfoods, an expert on natural health, and has been a featured speaker, for example, at Summit Series, Wanderlust, Further Future, Culinary Nutrition Conference, and WME-IMG. In this episode, Tero Isokauppila speaks about how adaptogenic mushrooms improve human performance. Depending on your health goals, Tero breaks down how long you may need to try adaptogenic mushrooms to reap the health benefits. Whether you like it or not, we are all consuming fungi in some form or another. Tero reveals the best way to introduce plants into your diet, especially if you have gut issues. Tune in as we chat about the benefits of mushrooms on our sleep, mood, and stress levels.  Get Tero’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Tero-Isokauppila/e/B075FWW236/benazadi-20 Purchase Four Sigmatic here: https://foursigmatic.sjv.io/yRN663 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 5 day keto challenge with Dr Eric Berg, Cynthia Thurlow, Ben Azadi & The Keto Kamp Team : http://www.ketokampchallenge.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.

[11:40] How Long Will It Take To Reap Benefits From Adaptogenic Mushrooms?  How long do you need to use something to reap benefits?  Usually, people will say thirty days or something along those lines. In reality, it depends on the desired benefits in your body.  If you have gut and autoimmune issues, you may be on a journey for a few years. You cannot heal gut issues within a month.  Skin will heal itself in about thirty days.  Energy production is instantaneous - if you want to increase energy, that can be done quickly.  [15:50] What To Know About The Effects of Theobromine and Magnesium  Theobromine is one of the main compounds in real chocolate or cacao. Theobromine is a sister compound to caffeine.  Magnesium is one of the minerals that are critical for our body function. Many people think of supplements and diet as upper and downers; however, many things can be both simultaneously. For instance, green tea can have caffeine and a calming effect.  Theobromine and magnesium are great for balanced energy and balanced performance.  [18:35] Whether You Like It Or Not, You Are Consuming Fungi In Some Form There is no world where you’re not consuming fungi. Fungi is on your skin and your gut. Plus, you are breathing in fungi.  Whether you want it or not, you will have fungi in your gut.  When you want to reap the health benefits of fungi, you first need to fix your gut. Carnivore is a great launch point.  Your gut is severely disrupted if you have indigestion and acid reflux. However, you shouldn’t run away from plants and compounds. [26:05] How To Do An Elimination and Reintroduction Diet With Plants  Eliminating and reintroducing one plant at a time will help determine how your body responds to the plant.  Once you get better at recognizing your body, you also start to spot symptoms when they're subtle. Intuitive eating is a great way to see how your body responds to plants.  When introducing a plant, consume it on an empty stomach to see how you respond.  [32:30] Will Mushrooms and Coffee Break Your Fast?  If you want to do a pure fast, you’re giving your liver a complete break. If that’s the case, you shouldn’t consume mushrooms.  If you’re still processing coffee and green tea, mushrooms wouldn’t break your fast. Mushrooms won’t spike your insulin if you’re just doing a water fast, but it’s technically breaking your fast since it is not water.  Mushrooms are one more thing that your body must digest even though it doesn’t contain calories. [41:00] The Best Mushrooms For Deeper Sleep and Improved Mood  Mushrooms and adaptogens will impact the mind. If you’re in a good mood, you will sleep better. Reishi mushrooms are great for sleep. Another mushroom that is famous for improving sleep is ashwagandha.  Many adaptogens will improve your stress levels. When you’re stress levels are improved, your sleep will improve.

[06:10] Every Single Cell In Your Body Needs Minerals To Thrive  If you took all the water out of your body, you'd be a little pile of minerals. Your entire body, including the mitochondria, is driven off of minerals and amino acids. When you are mineral depleted, it's like the light is dimmed. Every single part of your body is made of cells; each cell requires minerals.  You have to have minerals to generate ATPs.  [09:10] Mineral Deficiency: The Reason You Aren’t Getting Enough Minerals From Your Food You can’t get minerals from the food that you eat because farming has depleted our food of natural minerals. Farmers spray the plants and the soil with things that kill the microbes. The minerals in the food that you eat are made from microbes.  Hidden hunger happens when you have multiple micronutrient deficiencies.  Overall, Caroline wants everyone to know that you need a full spectrum of minerals. Most likely, you will need supplements.  [14:25] Plant-Based Minerals Are Bioavailable So Your Body Can Use Immediately  Bioavailability has three stages: digestion, absorption, and assimilation. Without these three stages, whatever you put in your mouth is useless. When you consume something, it has to be broken down into its chemical components.  If you take a supplement made from bones, shells, and rocks, your body won’t be able to digest it properly.  However, your body is wholly evolved to digest minerals from plants.  [20:20] Assimilation: How Your Mitochondria Gets Access To Essential Minerals  Most minerals do not do their job unless they've been assimilated into the cell where the mitochondria can access them. The reason that many of us don't have good assimilation is that we don't have a lot of flavonoids in our system. Liquid plant-based minerals have flavonoids that can carry nutrients into the cell.  You can take a significant amount of magnesium; only some of it is digested.  Then a smaller portion of it's absorbed, and then a minimal amount is assimilated. [35:25] Do You Follow A Carnivore Diet? What You Need To Know About Glyphosate You want to provide the tools that your body already has evolved to use. If you eat a carnivore diet, what you really want to do is get meat that is only grass-fed all the way completely up to the end, with no grain finishing.  Sadly, most meat is finished with grain.  A lot of time, cows eat oats that get sprayed with glyphosate directly.  Learn more about glyphosate from Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D.: https://stephanieseneff.net/ [38:50] Micro-BOOST and Electrolyze For Energy Production and Detoxification  Get Micro-BOOST:  Get Beam Mineral products here: www.beamminerals.com/ketokamp use the code ketokamp for 20% off your entire order.  Get Electrolyze:  Get Beam Mineral products here: www.beamminerals.com/ketokamp use the code ketokamp for 20% off your entire order.  Micro-BOOST provides a full spectrum of micronutrients and full-system detoxification support for the body’s cellular system.  Micro-BOOST and Electrolyze give you this incredible energy associated with the fulvic nutrient uptake.  [51:00] The Reason You Need Minerals To Help With Painful Period Symptoms  Insta-Lytes is incredibly effective if you deal with monthly cramping.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Richard Smith. Richard began his keto journey for weight loss hoping to cure severe anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and daily debilitating migraines. During the year, Richard managed to lose over 100lbs. After reversing his illnesses and transforming his physical and emotional well-being via a ketogenic lifestyle, Richard was dedicated to helping transform the health and lives of others by providing support and supplements. In this episode, Richard discusses his past health problems, including obesity, diabetes, fatigue, depression, and anxiety. He reveals how keto transformed his well-being and life. Then, Richard dives into why cholesterol isn’t the enemy and how you can determine if your cholesterol profile is actually damaged or not. Richard digs deep into insulin and leptin and how to optimize these hormones. Tune in as we chat about the problem with insulin resistance and a simple test to tell if you are insulin resistant.

The worst part of Richard’s health was his anxiety; he wouldn’t be able to leave his house, car, or office. Richard never felt good enough to be around other people. Eventually, Richard realized that bread made his belly swell. So, he gave it up. Within 30 days of ditching bread, Richard lost 28 pounds. Starting keto has completely changed Richard’s life; luckily, every factor of his life has improved. [26:20] Cholesterol Isn’t The Enemy; In Fact, Cholesterol is Essential For Health Cholesterol is essential for life. It's imperative for cell formation, cell communication, nutrient absorption, nutrient transportation, and hormone production. The brain and the myelin sheath are made of cholesterol. Lacking cholesterol would be detrimental to your health. There is a massive miscommunication when it comes to cholesterol. LDL is proactive; it heals the body and repairs it. The two main contributing factors to heart disease are grains and seed oils. Seed oils do not help lower cholesterol. Reducing carbohydrates and seed oils is the best way to have healthy LDL. [35:00] Is Your Cholesterol Profile Damaged? Richard Explains Where Your Markers Should Be There’s a simple way to see whether your cholesterol profile is damaged. Triglycerides are one of the most significant factors; aim for less than 0.5%. HDL should be greater than 1.5. The triglyceride to HDL ratio should be below one. You’re in good shape if your cholesterol profile is around these markers. Remember, cholesterol is essential for life; every cell in the body is made of cholesterol. [39:45] You Can’t Store Fat Without Insulin From Carbohydrates, Sugars, and Seed Oils We can’t store fat without insulin. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas when we consume carbohydrates. Many people will eat carbs before going to the gym to have the energy to burn fat. However, when insulin is elevated, it tells the body to store fat. Eating carbs will make it almost impossible for us to burn fat for fuel. Insulin puts a biological lock on our fat stores and prevents them from leaving. Carbohydrates and sugars will increase insulin. Seed oils will also impact insulin; they cause insulin resistance. [42:40] The Foods You Eat Could Be Blocking Your Ability To Feel Full Leptin is a satiety hormone. It tells us that we have eaten and that we are full. Seed oils will block leptin. If you aren’t feeling full, you will consume more food. Grains are high in lectins; they cause five times more fat storage than insulin. Lectins in grains will also block leptin. [49:55] Richard Reveals A Simple Test To Tell If You’re Insulin Resistant As a world, we are insulin resistant. In fact, 95% of people are insulin resistant. Diabetes will start with food choices that began ten to fifteen years prior. There’s a simple way to test if you suffer from insulin resistance. You have insulin resistance if you have an overhang over your pants, belt, or skirt. Restrict carbohydrates, and you will see a reduction in insulin levels. You don’t need a myriad of medications to solve insulin resistance. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me The Meat Mafia. The Meat Mafia officially began in January 2022 with one mission: to share their wealth of practical experiences in transforming their health through an active, animal-based lifestyle. Animal-based living emphasizes the elimination of processed foods and the consumption of whole natural foods. As the name suggests, most of these foods come from animal sources, from beef to honey. In their belief, locally sourced animal-based foods optimize personal and planetary health. In this episode, The Meat Mafia speak about their health issues and how eating a carnivore diet helped Brett reverse his ulcerative colitis and improved Harrison’s inflammatory skin problems. Then, the guys jump straight into stigmas around eating an animal-based diet and how the health of our environment actually depends on regenerative agriculture and ruminating animals. Tune in as we chat about finding the best sources for your animal-based diet and what you need to know about buying meat from the grocery store.

Colitis is an autoimmune disease that affects your large intestine, which is your colon. You can’t really process any food with ulcerative colitis. Doctors tell you that colitis is an incurable disease. After listening to Dr. Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Brett changed his life forever. Listen to the episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2auwtVto0sG7OcZ0hs3aOP?si=VF4iKaIcRvS_gar_nJrZ1g. Brett experimented with the carnivore diet, and he noticed all the bloating in his stomach was gone, his skin cleared up, and his energy improved. [15:10] A Keto Lifestyle Can Reduce Symptoms of Inflammatory Skin Problems Harrison’s first interaction with the healthcare system was from skin problems. His cystic acne had everything to do with his terrible diet. Ultimately, Harrison got on Accutane. Harrison tried the paleo diet during his first year of college, and his athletic training and energy levels improved. After trying keto, Harrison lost ten pounds in a matter of weeks. [29:10] The Health Grasslands and The Health of Ruminate Animals Are Interconnected There are still stigmas around red meat being a staple of healthy nutritional diets. Also, people don’t discuss animals’ role in restoring soil quality. Anti-meat people will gravitate toward the harmful practices of agriculture. However, there are ways to raise animals that improve the soil. The Meat Mafia likes to go to farms and learn stories about practicing regenerative agriculture. Check out Roam Ranch as an example: http://roamranch.com/ [34:20] Find A Local Farmer’s Market To Support The Best System Possible Here are some resources to check out about local food sources: Wild Food Sources: https://www.wildfoods.co/ Shire: https://shireapp.io/ Beef Initiative Food Intelligence Summit: https://beefinitiative.com/ Find a farmer’s market in your area and ask if they utilize regenerative practices. When you support local farmers, you’re supporting the right system, and you can nourish your family with the best quality protein possible. [40:55] Health Is Not An Expense; Health Is An Investment If you can’t afford meat from a local farmer, you can still eat the meat at a grocery store. Always do what is best for you and your budget. Eating stuff in the grocery store’s outer aisle will make you healthier than 99% of the population. However, supporting local farms is healthier for the supply chain and you. When you nourish the body with the proper nutrients, it will be an investment in your health. [43:05] What To Know About Shopping For Meat In The Grocery Store You need your beef to be pasture raised and 100% grass-fed. When you look at chicken and pork, they are fed corn and soy diets. If possible, steer towards a beef-based diet. Also, make sure your eggs are pasture-raised. Be careful about the marketing tricks that companies use. They could write “vegetarian fed.” In reality, that means they are being fed corn and soy. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Anthony Youn. He is considered one of the nation’s best-known experts in looking younger with or without surgery. His motto is “True Beauty Is Holistic™,” and he believes all people can achieve their true beauty using a combination of holistic factors, which do not necessarily involve surgery. For the past dozen years he has shared his tips for holistic plastic surgery on such television programs as The Rachael Ray Show, The Doctors, The Doctor Oz Show, Fox and Friends, and many others. In this episode, Dr. Youn dives into the intricacies of aging, unveiling the profound impact of internal factors on our external appearance. From the critical role of autophagy in cellular renewal to navigating sun protection, skin cancer, and nutritional decline, Dr. Youn is a wealth of insights. He sheds light on the saboteur that is sugar, speaking about its role in premature aging and skin deformities. The rise of red light therapy in alternative medicine takes center stage, challenging traditional medicine's hesitation. Please tune in for this enlightening voyage to unlock the fountain of youth within ourselves.

This includes medical aspects such as plaque in arteries and cellular perspectives, like the functioning of mitochondria. Internal aging may manifest through issues like cellular waste buildup. -       The concept of autophagy highlights the importance of cleaning out cellular waste products. Dr. Youn suggests that practices like fasting can contribute to this process and support cellular health. -       Holistic health experts emphasize the connection between gut health and skin appearance. -       According to Dr. Youn, healing the gut is considered a key factor in achieving beautiful and youthful skin. This perspective aligns with the emerging understanding of the gut-skin axis. [13:00] Navigating Sun Protection, Skin Cancer, and Environmental Safeguards -       The conversation emphasizes the significance of sun protection in preventing skin damage and, more critically, skin cancer. The narrative underscores the potential severity of skin cancer, especially on the face, and the importance of avoiding it. -       Dr. Youn discusses the distinction between mineral sunblocks (sitting on the skin’s surface) and chemical sunscreens (absorbed into the body). Mineral sunblocks containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are highlighted for their surface barrier effect. However, the challenge is that they can be visible, especially on darker skin tones. -       Chemical sunscreens, particularly oxybenzone and octinoxate, are noted as potential hormone disruptors and harmful to coral reefs. This raises environmental and health concerns, restricting their use in certain locations like Hawaii or the Caribbean. -       For children, Dr. Youn suggests using physical sunblocks (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) due to their effectiveness and the children's likely indifference to the visible residue. [19:45] Nourishment in Decline: Unraveling the Erosion of Nutritional Value in Our Food Supply -       A study spanning from 1950 to 1999 examined the nutritional content of fruits and vegetables released to the public. The findings revealed a consistent decline in the nutritional status of these commonly used produce items each year. Notably, protein, iron, and vitamin C were among the nutrients that showed a decline. -       The study highlighted a concerning trend of decreasing nutritional value in fruits and vegetables year by year. This decline raises questions about the quality of the produce available for consumption, with potential implications for overall health. -       Holistic health experts often attribute the decline in nutritional content to changes in soil quality and modern farming practices. The observation is that the soil may not be as nutrient-rich as it once was, leading to less nutritious produce. -       Nutrient depletion extends beyond natural produce to ultra-processed foods. Many individuals consume these less nutritious options, compounding the challenge of obtaining essential nutrients from the modern food supply. [29:30] Sweet Saboteur: Sugar's Role in Premature Aging and Skin Deformities -       Sugar is identified as a significant contributor to premature aging in the body. -       Sugar can bond to proteins in the body, particularly collagen and elastin. Collagen, which constitutes a significant portion of the skin, provides strength and tightness. Sugar bonding to collagen can cause deformities, likened to the logs of a log cabin, preventing the skin from maintaining its youthful tightness. -       Chronic spikes in sugar lead to chronic spikes in insulin. Over time, cells may become less responsive to insulin, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels and potential development of conditions like type 2 diabetes. -       Chronic insulin spikes contribute to chronic inflammation, impacting skin health by leading to issues like breakouts and inflammation. [37:50] Red Light Therapy's Rise in Alternative Medicine vs. Traditional Medicine's Hesitation -       Red light therapy is gaining popularity in alternative medicine circles, but there appears to be a disconnect with traditional physicians, including plastic surgeons and dermatologists. -       Despite its growing popularity, discussions on red light therapy are notably absent from annual meetings and professional conversations in traditional medical fields. -       There is a substantial body of scientific literature supporting the anti-aging benefits of red light therapy for the skin. -       The therapy is believed to contribute to improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, skin hydration, and elasticity. However, the exact mechanism of how red light therapy works, possibly involving mitochondrial support, is not fully understood. [46:15] The Crucial Role of Autophagy in Aging and Strategies for Renewal -       Autophagy, a cellular recycling process, plays a crucial role in the aging process. As cells accumulate intracellular waste over time, the lack of efficient autophagy can lead to the buildup of cellular waste products, slowing down cell processes and contributing to premature aging. -       It's established that autophagy decreases with age, contributing to the accumulation of cellular waste. Dr. Youn emphasizes the importance of promoting autophagy to help cleanse cells from the inside out and address aging at the cellular level. -       Fasting is recommended as a strategy to promote autophagy. Dr. Youn suggests fasting for at least 12 hours, with a 16-hour fast being ideal. This fasting period helps initiate autophagy, allowing cells to use accumulated waste as energy and rejuvenate. -       Dr. Youn introduces the concept of an "autophagy diet" designed to continue the autophagy process even after breaking a fast. The diet involves high-fat, low-protein foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (cold-water fish, nuts, seeds) and polyphenol-rich foods (dark-colored fruits and vegetables). This approach aims to supercharge autophagy without requiring extended fasting periods. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, SelfHacked, and LabTestAnalyzer. He is a thriving speaker and entrepreneur that has been independently researching health and science for over 15 years. Growing up with a myriad of health issues that conventional medicine failed to solve pushed Joe to study his own genes to get to the root cause of his problems. After fixing his chronic health issues with a personalized gene-based approach to health, he knew that he needed to share this information with the masses. Founding SelfHacked, LabTestAnalyzer and SelfDecode was Joe’s way of helping people take their health into their own hands. Now, Joe regularly speaks at events alongside the world’s top health experts and continues to work on enhancing his company’s products to provide people with access to cutting-edge tools and information designed to optimize health. In this episode, Joe talks about how his health started to crumble in his early twenties. When he decided to study the body to improve his health, Joe learned how genes could be the answer to optimizing his life. We talk about the critical markers for your body and how SelfDecode can be a life-changing tool for your health journey. Joe dives into all the things affecting your health like diet, sleep, stress, and environmental toxins. Tune in as we chat about the importance of light exposure, exercise, and Joe explains why your genetic risks are not the end of the world.

Eventually, his health crashed.  When his health crashed, Joe realized that he needed to study biology and how the body works.  He discovered that there was a lot of opportunity within genes to optimize his health.  [04:50] The Best Markers You Should Run For Your Own Body Joe uses his website, SelfDecode, to go in-depth on his tests. Check out his site here: https://selfdecode.com/ (use code KETOKAMP) People need to look at the whole picture of their test results. Don’t get lost in the minor details.  If you have genetic sequencing done, you can use that for SelfDecode. If you don’t have one, you can purchase it from them.  [11:25] You Don’t Feel Well Because You Are Eating An Unsuitable Diet Many people are attracted to a diet when they notice they feel better from it. Joe eats a low-carb and meat-based diet. Genetics has something to say about how people digest carbs. Some genes are related to how people interact with their diet.  Many genes are related to how people process fats. [18:05] About The Sleep Deficit and What Problems Joe Will See With Sleep Sleep is an art.  Sleep is something that people have to be conscious of and not take for granted.  There's a lot of things that could go wrong with sleep.  Some problems that you could be having with your sleep: Not enough REM Not enough slow-wave Waking up in the middle of the night Having to pee Not getting a good rhythm  Waking up from the light too early Light in the room at night Poor temperature Eating too late As you can see, so many things can go wrong with your sleep. If you don’t sleep well, you are not going to feel well. If you aren’t tracking your sleep, you will never know.  [22:55] Light Exposure Is Great For Feeling More Productive   If you don’t go outside during the day, you aren’t going to feel as good.  Joe gets at least three hours of light a day. When he gets light, he notices an impact.  You need at least two hours a day minimum.  The more light you get each day, the better off you are going to be.  Don’t wear your sunglasses!  If you don’t get a lot of sun exposure, red light therapy can be the next best option.  [29:30] How Unhappiness and Stress Can Affect Your Health Journey  One of the main contributors affecting your longevity and health has to do with stress. The people who live longer deal with stress a lot better. Stress really is detrimental to the body in many ways. If you don't have good personal relationships, that can cause a lot of stress.  Community is another great way to feel better and less stressed.  [36:30] Natural Stressors Are A Great Way To Feel Better  Exercise is a great natural stressor. Other stressors include cold and hot therapies.  Changing your diet is another stressor. If you aren’t stressing your mind and your body, then you aren’t going to grow.  [38:05] Environmental Toxins Are Causing Health Problems  VOCs, mold, and environmental pollution are causing health problems.  Open up your windows every single day to help with environmental toxins.  Getting outside will also be helpful.  When you breathe in the fresh air, it helps your immune system.  [43:55] What's The Difference Between Genetic Risk and Overall Risk?  Risk is a probabilistic number.  You can prevent genetic risks by living a healthy lifestyle. If you have a high risk for something, that doesn’t mean you will get it.  Overall, having a high genetic risk doesn’t mean you actually have a high risk.  AND MUCH MORE!
