Today, I am blessed to have Ryan Blaser, an accomplished Founder and CEO of Test My Home, an environmental company dedicated to enhancing people's health and well-being. Serving as a functional medicine doctor for homes, Ryan leverages his expertise in building biology and healthy home consulting to identify and address toxic sources that may impact individuals' health.  With an extensive educational background in electrical engineering, environmental toxicology, and electromagnetic radiation, along with years of hands-on experience in industries such as mold remediation, construction, and nuclear waste cleanup, Ryan possesses a profound understanding of the intricate relationship between humans and their built environment. Ryan's journey into the realm of functional medicine and healthy home consulting was deeply personal. His own wellness quest led him to confront the detrimental effects of mold exposure and lead inhalation, which manifested as severe health symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, and brain fog. Despite conventional medical approaches proving unsuccessful, Ryan took matters into his own hands, investigating his home environment to pinpoint the root cause of his health issues. Successfully curing himself, he has since dedicated his efforts to sharing his knowledge and experience with the world through the founding of Test My Home, helping others achieve optimal health by addressing environmental factors that impact well-being. In this episode, Ryan gives health advice based on his own experiences.

[09:42] Understanding Mold Symptoms: Differentiating Allergic and Neurological Responses ·   There are two types of symptoms related to mold exposure: allergic responses from mold parts and spores, and neurological effects from mycotoxins. ·   Mold can push the body into a toxic overload, manifesting issues at its weakest points.  ·   Addressing water leaks and fixing the source is crucial, as mold needs both a food source (organic material) and water to grow.  ·   Thorough cleaning is essential after fixing a mold problem, as it's the released biotoxins, not the mold itself, that can make occupants sick. ·   Mold toxins are invisible, can permeate clothing, carpets, and beds, requiring a comprehensive cleaning approach. [15:12] Mold Impact on Relationships and Mental Health ·   A couple facing relationship issues reached out for a virtual home walkthrough, revealing mold infestation in their crawlspace. ·   After remediation and moving out temporarily, the couple's relationship significantly improved, saving their marriage. ·   The mold strain in their home was identified as a specific irritant affecting their mental health. ·   This experience made Ryan realize the broader impact of mold on mental well-being, beyond physical symptoms. [23:08] Unraveling Health Mysteries: How Home Environment Impacts Well-being ·   A healthy family in a new home experienced mysterious health issues, especially neurological problems in their daughter. ·   Investigation revealed issues with the air filter size and gaps during Arizona dust storms, causing health problems. ·   The daughter's bed was placed near the refrigerator with a powerful motor, leading to high EMF (electromagnetic field) levels affecting her sleep and causing neurological symptoms. ·   Simple adjustment by moving the bed to the other side of the wall significantly improved the daughter's symptoms. ·   Ryan emphasizes the need for widespread knowledge on home interaction for overall well-being and advocates for incorporating this knowledge into educational curricula. [37:07] Boost Your Energy and Longevity: Easy Home Habits for a Healthier Life ·   Easy lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on energy levels and brain clarity. ·   Environmental factors are often overlooked but are crucial for well-being. ·   Regularly assess how you feel outside your home; positive feelings outdoors may indicate indoor environmental issues. ·   Improved well-being can lead to increased productivity, providing more time for family, side businesses, and personal pursuits. ·   There is a lot of value in having extra brainpower and energy for a more fulfilling and productive life.

Since graduating, Melanie has worked steadily in acting, audiobook recording, and writing about a Paleo diet and lifestyle at Paleoactress.com. She has also starred in several films and television productions, narrated several audiobooks, and written the bestseller The What When Wine Diet. Being an "old soul," Melanie is renowned for her vivacious, optimistic, upbeat, and enchanting attitude. "Live vicariously through yourself!" is her credo.  She holds certifications from the WSET as a wine specialist, the AFPA as a holistic nutritionist, and Mensa International as a member. To assist folks with food sensitivities, she created the popular iTunes app "Food Sense Guide," which often appears in the top 10 of all iTunes Food and Drinks apps.  Serrapeptase 125, the first product in Melanie's widely awaited AvalonX supplement line, was recently released.

What and how much we eat affects our entire constitution and overall health. The more you learn, the more you want to share what you’ve learned to help others. Melanie started trying the Paleo diet after she read Robb Wolf’s The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet. [11:05] Getting Heavy Metal Poisoning from Fish People don’t realize and tend to underestimate how much mercury there is in the fish you eat. Melanie thinks that swordfish should be made illegal to be sold in restaurants due to the amount of mercury you can contract from it. Eat fish in moderation to avoid heavy metal poisoning. You can get mercury poisoning not only from fish but from silver tooth fillings as well. Symptoms of this poisoning include fatigue, anemia, memory loss, anxiety, hot flashes, and insomnia. [25:25] What Happens When Toxins Get into the Body? Our bodies can detoxify on their own; however, we are not accustomed to the overwhelming toxic burden that we have nowadays. Every day toxins such as heavy metals in the food we eat, pesticides, skincare products, and makeup aren’t regulated, which is why we consume more than we should. An abundance of certain compounds in makeup can cause you to gain weight and make it hard to lose it. Not to mention carcinogens. The solution to pollution is dilution. There are also studies about obesogens that states that they may affect insulin levels as well. [39:05] The Most Common Themes in Interviews Most people are all about bio-individuality: different diets and things work for different people. Most of them seem to be focused on fasting as well, which is quite popular at the moment.  Blood sugar control is a common theme since many people have a lot of trouble dealing with it. There is no cookie-cutter approach to anything. Different strokes work for different folks. A specific diet can’t work for literally everyone. It’s not as simple as eating less food and moving your body, and you immediately get results. Outcomes depend on every person. AND MUCH MORE!

[14:00] What's the Importance of Protein to Aging and Metabolic Health? ●      Protein is a critical macronutrient, especially as we age, as it helps stimulate muscle protein synthesis and maintain lean muscle tissue. ●      Contrary to previous beliefs, older individuals need more protein to combat muscle loss and support insulin sensitivity. ●      The minimum recommended protein intake per meal is 30 grams for most people, with some individuals requiring more based on their needs. ●      Properly understanding portion sizes and macronutrient combinations is essential for optimizing protein intake. ●      Inadequate protein consumption may contribute to the metabolic health crisis, emphasizing the importance of including enough protein in one's diet as they age. [18:06] Change Your Perspective and Support Your Overall Health! ●      Cancer is a multifactorial disease influenced by various factors, including diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, and even emotional health. ●      Fixating on a single aspect, such as excess protein intake and mTOR activation, oversimplifies the complex nature of cancer development. ●      Chronic and habitual one-meal-a-day (OMAD) fasting can lead to metabolic distress, muscle loss, and hinder metabolic health. ●      Individuals must shift away from restrictive dieting and nourish their bodies with adequate nutrition to support overall health. ●      Society's disordered relationship with food, body image, and weight contributes to unhealthy dietary and lifestyle practices and the rise of unhealthy diet culture. [29:35] Here's What You Need To Know About Animal and Plant-Based Protein ●      The amino acid composition of animal-based protein is superior to that of plant-based protein. ●      When choosing plant-based protein, it's essential to be cautious about consuming excessive carbohydrates to meet protein intake goals. ●      Metabolic health and insulin sensitivity are significant in determining the ability to handle plant-based protein, particularly for those in perimenopause and menopause. ●      The Protein Leverage Hypothesis highlights the importance of adequate protein intake for satiety and blood sugar regulation. ●      Starting the day with a higher protein meal can lead to greater satiety and reduced cravings throughout the day, promoting healthier eating habits. [35:25] How Do You Get More Protein while Intermittent Fasting? Check this out! ●      Adjust your fasting and feeding windows to make it more manageable to consume an adequate amount of protein. ●      Slowly increase protein intake to reach your target, especially if you are metabolically healthy. ●      Use tracking apps like Chronometer to get a clear picture of your daily protein intake. ●      Consider incorporating a high-quality protein shake or amino acids if you struggle to meet your protein goals through whole foods. ●      Bio-individuality plays a significant role in choosing protein sources and added ingredients, so find what works best for your digestion and preferences. [46:14] Fasting for Menopausal Women and Its Benefits and Considerations ●      Focus on managing stress and improving sleep before diving into fasting for postmenopausal women. ●      Fasting should be considered one of many strategies and should not be added without addressing foundational issues like sleep and stress. ●      Individualize fasting strategies for postmenopausal women and use them as a beneficial stressor rather than overloading the body. ●      Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a valid option for menopausal women but should be approached with informed decision-making and working with healthcare providers. ●      Understand the hormonal changes in the body during menopause and their influence on fasting and health, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. [56:08] Strategic Application of Stressors: Hormesis and Fasting ●      Utilize hormetic stressors like fasting, exercise, and cold exposure to promote resilience and strength. ●      Be strategic with stressors by understanding genetic susceptibility and personal tolerances. ●      For some, long fasting, categorized as more than 24 hours, may not be suitable, especially for lean middle-aged individuals, due to concerns about muscle loss. ●      Consider gender-specific and age-specific factors when determining the best fasting regimens. ●      Monitor health markers, including muscle mass and immune system function, to make informed decisions about fasting strategies. [1:02:00] Achieving Autophagy and Hormetic Stress ●      While eating breakfast can be challenging for some, the goal is to consume most of your daily calories earlier, optimizing cortisol levels and insulin sensitivity. ●      The timing of meals affects the body's balance of hormones like ghrelin and leptin. ●      Blue light exposure, especially at night, can disrupt hormonal rhythms and affect hunger hormones. ●      Scientific studies may vary in their findings regarding hormone levels, but real-world results and individual experiences should guide your eating schedule. ●      Monitoring your feelings, energy levels, weight loss, mood, and sleep quality is crucial in determining the right breakfast timing. [1:09:00] What effects on your health do environmental toxins have? Reduce Your Risk! ●      HRV (Heart Rate Variability) varies significantly from person to person due to genetic and individual factors, making it crucial to establish a personal baseline and progress over time. ●      Comparing your HRV to others can lead to frustration and unrealistic expectations, as it's heavily influenced by age, genetics, and other factors. ●      Environmental factors, such as mold exposure and EMF radiation, can profoundly affect health, leading to symptoms like poor sleep, weight gain, and inflammation. ●      Sensitivity to environmental stressors differs among individuals, making some more like "canaries in the coal mine" who react strongly to these exposures. ●      Identifying and addressing environmental contributors to health issues is vital to a holistic approach to well-being.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: ●      Website: https://cynthiathurlow.com/ ●      Intermittent Fasting Transformation: https://cynthiathurlow.com/book/ ●      Follow Cynthia ○      Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CHTWellness/ ○      YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cynthiathurlow ○      TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cynthia_thurlow_ ○      Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cynthia_thurlow_/ ●      Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a ●      Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ / / 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.

[00:00] Parasympathetic Nervous System: Activate it Through Essential Oils Essential oils can get assimilated through the nose and directly into the brain. Instead of needing an invasive surgery, you can take a stimulatory blend of essential oils. It gets through the skin and works quickly. Essential oils help to digest food and absorb nutrients. [21:52] Having Trouble Sleeping? Solve it with this Method -        Oils can be utilized to restore the equilibrium of various organ systems and brain regions. -        Apply the oils right above the ear since the skin is thinner there. -        You can apply any blend of oils that feels relaxing. People mostly use citrus sprout blends. -        To feel less worried, close your right nostril, inhale through your left, and smell anything such as orange.  [26:24] What does the Gallbladder Blend Can Do? -        The blend is designed to tonify the gallbladder and thin the bile. -        It topically overlays the energetic signature of what the gallbladder is supposed to feel like. -        It is one more tool you can apply to return the gallbladder to balance.   [32:15] Importance of Lymphatic System and Ways To Get It Going  -        The lymph is critical to ensuring that the garbage leaves the body. -        Your lymph moves when you move, so exercise, yoga, and any breathing practice help the lymph move. -        Sleep is important because an aspect of your lymphatic system called the glymphatic system, which is a kind of brain carwash, is only active at night. [37:17] Histamine intolerance: Return it to Balance Through this Blend -        If you had mold exposure in your house, the mold could linger. And that can cause you to be overactive too many things -        You don't want it turned off. You just want to modulate it.             -        You can use the blend in several ways. You can use it to support sinus drainage and mold removal. -        Put the histamine balance on the back of your ears or the back of your neck, and it will work without exhausting you.  [42:45] Don’t Just Mix Your Own. Here’s the reason why -        Sometimes, it is more expensive than just getting pre-made. -        Jodi gives you ready-made remedies that many practitioners are already using, so you don't need to worry about mixing your own. -         If you're new to this,  just try it by buying an orange and smelling it through your left nostril.

[16:59] Keto and Health Transformation Fat adaptation can be achieved relatively quickly by restricting carbs and increasing fat intake. Keto adaptation is a more prolonged process that involves reshaping physiological properties and processes. Keto-adapted individuals may experience a decline in ketone levels, indicating efficient ketone utilization. Maintaining a flexible approach to intermittent fasting can enhance the journey to better health. The use of tools like the power plate and other devices can help increase bone density and improve overall fitness.  [25:33] Dental Health: The Mouth-Heart Connection The toxins in the mouth may attribute to a significant percentage of heart disease. Biological dentistry recognizes the interconnectedness of oral health with the overall body. The removal of amalgam fillings and root canal-treated teeth can aid in reducing toxic burden. Cavitations, unhealed spaces in the jawbone, can harbor harmful bacteria and contribute to systemic inflammation. Improving airway health and addressing sleep apnea can positively impact overall well-being. [32:03] Biohacking and Optimal Health Wim Hof breathing and cold exposure can provide an immediate boost in energy and mental acuity. Red light therapy, especially when used in 10-minute cycles on various body areas, has a profound impact on well-being. Methylene blue, when combined with red light therapy, enhances ATP production, contributing to improved energy and overall performance. Nitric oxide and methylene blue can both be beneficial, but it's essential to use them cyclically rather than chronically. Ozone therapy, including rectal insufflation and ozonated water, can help address toxicity and health issues without resorting to antibiotics.  [49:47] The State of Government Nutrition Policies  The government's nutritional guidelines are problematic and counterproductive, promoting the wrong dietary choices. Public health interests are often influenced by industry interests and lobbying, making it challenging to shift towards more accurate health recommendations. Metabolic health and nutrition should have been a central focus during the pandemic, but the public often seeks quick fixes and pills rather than making lifestyle changes. There's a clear agenda to push engineered plant-based foods and diminish the popularity of the keto diet, leading to censorship and misleading information. A fact-based, empirically sound approach is essential to promote health and reduce medical costs, emphasizing the need for unbiased research and funding. AND MUCH MORE!

[06:21] Carnivore Diet Journey: What Did Sarah Learn? •       Dietary trends often follow a progression, but individual experiences may vary. •       Prolonged adherence to extreme diets may lead to health issues and hormonal imbalances. •       Pay attention to your body's signals and be open to dietary adjustments when needed. •       Hormone imbalances can impact fertility and overall well-being. •       Community support is valuable, but it's important to prioritize your health and listen to your body.  [20:17] Leptin and Hormonal Impact •       Leptin is a crucial circadian signaling hormone that influences various body systems. •       Continuous ketosis and excessive fasting can lead to low leptin levels, affecting hormonal balance. •       The dietary approach and meal timing can significantly impact leptin levels and overall health. •       Avoid dogmatic dietary adherence and focus on individualized approaches for hormonal balance. •       Leptin resistance can manifest as both high and low leptin levels, requiring different strategies for management. [27:21] Dietary Dogma: Metabolic Health •       Avoid dogmatic dietary adherence; prioritize metabolic health and flexibility. •       Embrace cyclical nutrition, considering seasonal and local foods. •       Gradual reintroduction of carbohydrates can be beneficial for metabolic flexibility. •       Incorporate light exposure, especially UVA and UVB, to support neurotransmitter balance. •       Combining carb reintroduction with light exposure can help individuals transition without fear of binge eating.  [34:44] Nutrition, Circadian Rhythm, and Red Light Therapy •       Reduce sunglass usage during daylight to benefit from natural light exposure. •       Carefully balance macronutrients, avoiding high-fat and high-carb meals together. •       Utilize red light therapy on the abdomen to support gut health and hormonal balance. •       Implement circadian rhythm strategies, such as grounding and blocking blue light at night. [40:37] Cold Plunges for Health •       Cold plunges are hormetic stressors that should be approached with caution, especially for those with certain health conditions. •       Start cold plunging at a higher temperature and gradually decrease the temperature over time to adapt. •       Pay attention to how your body feels after cold plunging; if you feel energized, you've found the right duration and temperature. •       Avoid cold plunges right after strenuous workouts, as it may slow down the natural muscle repair process. •       Don't feel pressured to use your cold plunge daily; listen to your body's needs, and don't push yourself too hard, especially during times of high stress.  [49:23] The Importance of Food Timing and Circadian Rhythm •       Food timing should align with your body's circadian rhythm, with a focus on having most of your calories earlier in the day. •       Eating breakfast and lunch, then skipping dinner can be more beneficial for weight loss, autophagy, and overall health. •       Research suggests that the same meal is processed differently when eaten in the morning compared to the evening. •       Cortisol levels, melatonin production, and leptin sensitivity are influenced by the timing of your meals, making morning eating advantageous. •       Maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm, blocking blue light at night, and avoiding eating too close to bedtime can optimize the hormone balance in your body. [54:06] Breakfast Timing and Hormones: Finding the Right Balance •       While eating breakfast can be challenging for some, the goal is to consume most of your daily calories earlier in the day, optimizing cortisol levels and insulin sensitivity. •       The timing of meals affects the balance of hormones like ghrelin and leptin in the body. •       Blue light exposure, especially at night, can disrupt hormonal rhythms and affect hunger hormones. •       Scientific studies may vary in their findings regarding hormone levels, but real-world results and individual experiences should guide your eating schedule. •       Monitoring how you feel, your energy levels, weight loss, mood, and sleep quality is crucial in determining the right breakfast timing for you.

Welcome to the Keto Kamp Podcast. Today we have with us Narado Zeco Powell who is going to join us on our conversation about metabolism flexibility, fasting, high blood pressure, and digestion.  In this podcast, Powell shares with us his incredibly inspiring story, taking us through his early childhood and what marked the onset of his journey towards a health-conscious life.  He grew up in Jamaica and was raised by his grandparents. Like any other kid, he loved candies, junk, and everything sweet. Unfortunately, though, he developed eczema, high blood pressure, and asthma in his early twenties. Weight issues were also a continuous struggle that led to the deterioration of his health but one day Powell decided to start fresh, to fight everything that was holding him back and that is when he started his fitness journey, experimenting with working out, lifting weights and eating healthy!

Breathing becomes a lot easier and effort free. It removed his asthma and eczema problems for years. You also start feeling better. Even without the medications, he is perfectly healthy as his body healed itself. Eliminate things from your diet as this would reduce excess harmful elements from your body. [15:53] Sleep, seed oil, processed foods, and fasting If you sleep properly and at the proper time, you will not just feel better but will also age slower. Replace seed oil with olive oil, butter, or avocado oil. Pro tip: if you go to a restaurant just tell the waiter you and everyone on the table are allergic to seed oil. Processed foods are not what you should be putting in your body. You must remove processed foods from your diet and eat real clean whole food. Fasting is amazing- your sleep hours even count. Healing the gut, bouncing your sugar levels, fat oxidation, and training your body are all achieved by fasting.  Fasting if done right can be a very powerful tool. You give your digestive system a break. [23:15] A twenty-four hours once a week, and why does he do it? The dinner-to-dinner fast helped to increase the time of his fast oxidation. Lengthening the fast and doing a full day fast helps make him feel like superman. Tap into the knowledge of our ancestors and include the new research; studies aren’t supposed to overwhelm you. You must incorporate how something makes you feel; if you feel energized with something do it. Start your fasts small and then build up. [30:40] How to overcome a standstill in weight; when you can’t seem to lose more weight It depends on what you have been doing to lose weight; was it keto, vegetarian diet, intermittent fasting, and so on? It also depends on the period you have been doing what you have been for losing that weight. Your body gets efficient at breaking down fat and you reach a plateau after a certain time; you need to cycle the carbs back in. This way your body becomes better at breaking fats back again. Easier to switch back to carbs and take in the enzymes. This switching back and forth is an easier way to go about it; you need to create diversity in the gut. Our ancestors would have a diverse line of foods that they consumed. [39:50] Bio-individuality and the elimination method People should remove vegetables but only for some time and they should be added back in gradually. You don't know what is affecting you until you eliminate the suspects; you don’t know what anti-nutrients are responding to you. A carnivore diet for a while can help improve your gut. After this has happened which can be between one to three months you start adding plant foods to your diet slowly. This way you get to realize what is affecting you through your gut-healing journey. It Helps identify allergies. But first, you must go on a gradual approach to searching for yourself. [44:00] The glucose monitor (CGM) and the Oura ring Your glucose monitor can pick up the signs and aware you. Oura ring is a tool; HRV drops with eating more plant toxins and vice versa means that a carnivore diet suits you the best. Ray’s blood sugar pattern picks up when he wakes up. It drops during his fasting period but picks up gradually. This is because his body is optimal. This is because of having more muscles too. If your body is optimized, your blood sugar does not go up drastically. Teach people to be optimal and be the healthier version of themselves. AND MUCH MORE!

[11:15] Happy Hustler 2.0 Redefine "hustle" to emphasize a positive, joyful approach to hard work. Prioritize blissful balance and finding joy in the journey while working towards your dreams. Use the concept of "MVT" (Most Valuable Tasks) to prioritize work based on your Effective Hourly Rate (EHR). The core principle of "10 Alignments" remains central to achieving a blissful balance in personal and professional life. Embrace the "GIFT" acronym, which stands for Give Insight, Finances, and Time when serving others. [17:11] Cold Plunging and Biohacking: Finding the Right Balance Cold plunging and cold exposure can offer significant benefits but should be cautiously approached, especially for beginners. Start with shorter durations and gradually increase exposure time to avoid overexertion and fatigue. Individual tolerance varies, so pay attention to how your body responds to cold exposure and adjust accordingly. Balance cold exposure with heat therapy to maximize the benefits of both practices. Biohacking can accelerate recovery from injuries, even severe ones like fractures and torn ligaments. Techniques like red light therapy, anti-inflammatory diets, and specific peptides like BPC 157 can promote rapid healing. ·       Avoid becoming overly reliant on wearables and tracking devices; listen to your body and use data as a tool, not a definitive measure of how you should feel. [25:22] Soul Mapping: Prioritizing Self-Care and Loving Relationships Unplug digitally and practice "BREAK" (Barriers, Recharge, Eliminate, Airplane Mode, Keep) to regain control of your device usage. Consider occasional 24-hour digital detoxes, avoiding all digital devices, including e-books, and focusing on analog activities. Implement a "Lover" (Listen, Observe, Voice, Empathize, Repair) communication strategy to effectively navigate and resolve relationship adversity. Loving relationships are a crucial aspect of a fulfilling life, emphasizing the importance of communication, empathy, and problem-solving. Discipline and consistency in self-care practices improve focus, productivity, and overall well-being. [28:13] Soul Mapping for a Balanced Life The sun, often villainized due to skin cancer risks, plays a crucial role in our health and well-being, providing the body with an all-natural healing source. Although political motives exist to block sunlight to solve global warming, it's essential to consider the implications of altering our natural light environment. The sun provides a full spectrum of light, which contributes to the concept of photobiomodulation, which suggests that all light impacts our bodies differently. Near-infrared light, which the sun provides, is closely linked with mitochondrial function, demonstrating its critical role in human health. Acknowledging and discussing the significant influence of our 'light environment' on our overall health and well-being is essential.  [31:43] Soul Mapping for a Balanced Life Practice mindful spirituality to connect with a higher power through simple stillness and silence, finding the best meditation methods. Abundance financially is essential but should not come at the expense of other life areas; prioritize mastering sales to increase income ethically. Use the "ROADMAP" framework in sales conversations: Rapport, Obstacle, Aspiration, Demonstration, Match, Qualify, Ask, Poll. Ethical scarcity and urgency can effectively guide prospects toward a buying decision. Achieving financial success should be balanced with other areas of life, including spiritual and relational well-being. Prioritize integrity in all aspects of life and business to maintain a fulfilling and balanced existence.  [36:54] Personal Development and Lifelong Growth: A 3030 30 Method Personal development is key to growth and should be a daily practice. Implement the 30-30-30 method for guaranteed growth: 30 minutes of morning reading, 30 minutes of afternoon listening, and 30 minutes of evening inspirational and educational content. The second P: Engaging in passionate hobbies can positively ripple effect on other areas of your life, including income and creativity. ·       Prioritize impactful work in your life and aim for a career that aligns with your passion and purpose. ·       Use the "Hustle Dope" formula (preparation + execution) / (time + energy) x persistence and consistency to achieve meaningful results in your impactful work. ·       Foster a deeper connection with nature by getting outside, supporting ethical and sustainable practices, and protecting the planet for future generations. ·       Embrace the triple bottom line approach, focusing on people, the planet, and profits in your business endeavors to create a more balanced and sustainable future.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Colette Heimowitz. She is the Director of Education and Research for Atkins Health and Medical Information Services. In this role she manages public relations, directs research efforts, designs continuing medical education programs and directs the Atkins Speakers Bureau. In addition, Heimowitz serves as a member of the Atkins Nutritionals New Product Development Committee. Previously, Heimowitz was the Director of Nutrition at The Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine. Prior to working at The Atkins Center, Heimowitz spent 20 years directing nutrition departments in the offices of complementary doctors such as Leo Galland, MD, Serafina Corsello, MD, and others. Her corporate experience includes Vice-President of Research and Development at Col-Air Laboratories, a company specializing in herbal technologies.

She earned her MS from Hunter College in New York, NY. In this episode, Colette Heimowitz discusses everything you need to know about the Atkins Diet. She compares the differences between a ketogenic diet, the Atkins 20, and the Atkins 40. Colette explains why it’s so easy to become fat and obese in America. Luckily, more and more people are talking about using food as medicine. Tune in as we chat about intermittent fasting on the ketogenic diet, navigating a weight-loss plateau, and the future of diets in America.  This episode originally aired in October 2022. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

[04:50] About The Four Different Phases of The Atkins 20 Diet The Atkins Diet has four phases: Phase 1: Induction Phase 2: Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) Phase 3: Pre-maintenance  Phase 4: Lifetime maintenance Phase 1 is the ketogenic diet. However, many people find it hard to sustain because you restrict carbohydrates greatly.  Once you get above 50 grams of carbohydrates, it is no longer ketogenic.  [11:05] Why It Is So Easy To Become Fat and Obese In America  People are sitting in front of computers all day and not exercising. Also, Americans are overconsuming carbohydrates and processed foods. The United States Dietary Guidelines tell people to consume tons of carbohydrates.  The cost of diabetes and obesity to the government is incredible; it costs trillions of our healthcare.  We should have different Dietary Guidelines!  [25:40] Is Intermittent Fasting Necessary While Following The Keto Diet?  With a clean ketogenic diet, you don’t need intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is good for detox purposes.  You only need a 12 to 18-hour fast if you are strict on keto. When you are doing extra long fasts, then it throws off your appetite cues.  [28:40] What To Know When You Need To Get Past A Weight-Loss Plateau  Are you under more stress? Stress will affect your weight and health.  Sometimes your body needs a break from weight loss. All the toxins in our body get stored in fat cells. Sometimes your body needs time to recover from releasing those toxins.  Colette will tell people to wait it out if their weight loss is stalling.  [32:05] Food Is Medicine: What’s Going On With Health and Diet In America  The American population is sick. Luckily, people are starting to learn that food is medicine.  The White House is looking at diet-related diseases. Once you look at the science, you will understand what needs to be done regarding nutrition.  Sadly, the government moves so slow it may take time to change the Dietary Guidelines.  [39:00] So, How Exactly Did Dr. Robert Atkins Die?  Dr. Atkins died after he fell and hit his head on an icy sidewalk.  At the hospital, they found out Dr. Atkins had cardiomyopathy, an infection of the heart's sack.  Sadly, doctors lied and told the media that he had heart disease and he was obese. Mrs. Atikins filed a lawsuit and won.  AND MUCH MORE!
