People with high uric acid levels have an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s.  There’s a relationship between these diseases and uric acid.  Uric acid directly leads to insulin resistance.  [19:30] Your Body Is Retaining Uric Acid As A Survival Mechanism   We tend to retain uric acid. Our uric acid levels can be higher as a survival mechanism, thanks to our primate ancestors. We don't hibernate for six months. Therefore, we don't need to be storing this fat for the winter that never comes.  88% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy. Getting Covid is associated with a 40 to 60% increased risk of type two diabetes. Individuals with higher uric acid levels have a higher risk of dying from Covid.  [25:10] Your Body Can’t Handle More Than Five Grams of Fructose At A Time Your body can handle some fructose, about five grams at a time.  When your body is presented with high levels of fructose, it overwhelms what the body can do.  When fructose is delivered in the context of fiber, it slows the absorption. So, it’s better to eat an apple than drink apple juice.  Vitamin C aids in uric acid excretion.  The most common way to overdo fructose consumption is by drinking fruit juice.  A 12-ounce glass of orange juice might have 30 grams of sugar. There's no way the body will be able to deal with that appropriately.  [35:30] Tart Cherries As A Remedy For Gout and Lowering Uric Acid Levels  Tart cherries have been researched for decades. Originally, tart cherries have been looked upon as a remedy for gout.  It has been noted that people who ate cherries would have fewer gout flare-ups.  Tart cherries are pretty darn effective in lowering uric acid levels.  [36:40] The Health Benefits of Drinking Coffee  Drinking coffee is associated with a dramatically lowered risk of Alzheimer's. Coffee is also associated with lower uric acid levels.  Plus, coffee reduces inflammation, upregulates antioxidant function, and improves detoxification in the body.  Also, coffee helps us grow new brain cells, no matter our age.  [41:45] The Relationship Between Animal-Based Protein and The Role of Uric Acid Fiber is so essential for human health. Most of Dr. Perlmutter’s food is plant-based.  Regarding our uric acid story, certain meats or animal products are worse than others. Organ meats, sardines, anchovies, and scallops can raise your uric acid levels.  The most significant issues for uric acid are fructose, purines, and alcohol.  [48:20] Should I Follow A Ketogenic Lifestyle If I Have Gout Attacks?  The most significant player in gout is fructose.  When you research how to fix gout, there will be no talk about removing sugar or fructose from your diet.  The human requirement for sugar in our diets is zero grams per day.  We subsidize the growth of corn from which high fructose corn syrup comes from. We are supporting the diseases that are sucking up our healthcare resources. Diseases are significant money makers for the healthcare industry.  It’s time we start thinking about prevention.  [52:25] What Role Does Mental-Emotional Stress Play With Uric Acid Levels? When we are experiencing stress, our ability to make rational, forward-thinking decisions is compromised. When your decision-making is compromised, you won’t be making good lifestyle choices.  Therefore, under stress, you will eat more foods that have sugar.  Eventually, you will raise uric acid levels and feed the flame of poor metabolic health. It is time to make better decisions by lowering your stress levels.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. David Perlmutter’s Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/ Follow Dr. Perlmutter  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DavidPerlmutterMd Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidperlmutter YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DavidPerlmutterMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/ Get Dr. Perlmutter’s Books: https://www.drperlmutter.com/learn/books/ Grain Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/0316485136/benazadi-20 Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid―The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health: Uric Acid testing device: https://amzn.to/3yjeP8Q https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Acid-Surprising-Controlling-Extraordinary/dp/0316315397/benazadi-20 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 Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

In this podcast, Fasting, Keto, Protein and Keeping it Simple, we cover: Controlling Your Appetite and Cravings During Fasting The Connection of Protein, Muscle, and Weight Loss Can Keto Be Simple? Ditching the Complicated Diets Practicing Self-Love and Discovering Your Superpower Controlling Your Appetite and Cravings During Fasting Raise your hand if you’ve craved something sweet while fasting…we’ve all been there. In this episode, Ben and I discussed a few reasons behind these cravings and how to overcome them. Ben suggests that the cravings could be due to not being fat-adapted yet. Our brains may panic when glucose drops in a fasted state because the ketones are not present. It sends signals to our body to get some carbs that fulfill that desire. I recommend using fasting to pulse into a ketogenic state and then pulse out. What this means is that each time you go into your ketogenic state, it’s healing something. If you get into that space, and suddenly your cravings go up, hang in there as long as you can and then dip back into food. And each time you go back, it gets easier and easier, just like going to the gym. It’s important to note that every fast has its benefits, so if you did reach for that snack, there’s no such thing as a failed fast. When you put yourself in a healing state, you can’t fail. Understanding the type of craving you’re having, whether it’s a sugar craving, an adrenal issue, or a thyroid issue – you can support your body by adding more good fat and protein, eating more calories, or doing more 24-hour fasts.  Protein, Muscle, and Weight Loss If you’re looking to build muscle and lose weight, you might want to pay attention to how much protein you’re consuming. It’s recommended to consume between one to one and a half grams of protein per pound of body weight. But if you fall short of meeting this requirement, using essential amino acids can be beneficial in filling these gaps. As we age, particularly during menopause, our bodies start to break down muscle to get amino acids if the adrenal glands are overworked. To combat this, protein cycling may be the answer – this involves consuming 30 grams of protein several times a day, combined with a lot of amino acids, to maintain muscle mass. Consuming more than 90 grams of protein risks turning it into glucose, which could impede weight loss. It’s important to note that this applies to one meal, so consuming over 90 grams in a single setting is challenging for most people.  Can Keto Be Simple? Ditching the Complicated Diets  If you’re tired of trying all the complicated diets and grabbing every new supplement that comes along, here’s a solution: simplicity. In this episode, Ben and I discussed that often the natural healthcare system and biohacking world can be sometimes overcomplicated to the point where it’s as confusing as the conventional healthcare system. For instance, if you want to get into ketosis, the best way is to start fasting. You don’t have to count macros or purchase pre-packaged keto food. You can start simply by compressing your eating window and leaving long times for fasting to see if you can get into ketosis. Instead of counting macros, you can switch to nature’s carbs. To simplify your approach, start with small changes that you can easily incorporate into your routine, like a daily walk or simple breathing exercises. It’s important to not get bogged down in the details and to remember the ultimate goal of improving your health.  Practicing Self-Love and Discovering Your Superpower This year, I’ve promised myself to practice more self-love when I can and encourage you to find the time to give back and nurture yourself too. Ben shared in this episode that the daily self-love practices that help him feel grateful for his health and well-being are keeping a gratitude journal on his nightstand to taking breaks throughout the day to relax and read. To implement these ideas into your own life, you can start by incorporating simple self-love practices into your daily routine. This can include writing down a list of things you’re grateful for each day, taking breaks to relax and do something you enjoy, or simply reminding yourself of the things you love about yourself. Gratitude has a profound way of helping shift your mindset and improve your overall well-being. This can involve writing down things you’re grateful for, expressing gratitude to those around you, or simply taking a moment to appreciate the good things in your life. We all need more “Vitamin G” in our days!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. David Harper. As a health educator and cancer researcher, Dr. David G. Harper has studied the impact of diet on human health for many years. The culmination of that extensive work is the BioDiet, a ketogenic food regimen that he and his wife began in 2012. The significant weight loss and health improvements they experienced led Dr. Harper to counsel hundreds of people on the BioDiet, with similarly consistent and impressive results. Dr. Harper is an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of the Fraser Valley and a visiting scientist at the BC Cancer Research Center, Terry Fox Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in comparative physiology at the University of Cambridge. He is on the scientific advisory board of the Canadian Clinicians for Therapeutic Nutrition and is a member of the Institute for Personalized Therapeutic Nutrition. In this episode, Dr. Harper discusses fixing your diet before putting drugs in your body. The best cure for cancer is through prevention; Dr. Harper reveals how diet can be the key to avoiding chronic diseases and cancer. Dr. Harper dives deep into the connection between insulin resistance, obesity, and inflammation. Plus, he chats about how ketosis is a great way to lower inflammation and reverse insulin resistance. Tune in as Dr. Harper talks about studying the effects of a ketogenic diet on women with breast cancer.  Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

The best cancer treatment is not to get it in the first place. When you age, you don’t need to get heavy and sick. Most likely, you get heavy and sick because of your diet. You can have diabetes for a decade, which will be wholly reversed through a ketogenic diet.  Even atherosclerosis is reversible through diet.  [10:20] How Keto Tackles Obesity, Insulin Resistance, and Inflammation   Counting calories has been pretty much disproven. It turns out this model just doesn’t work.  Obesity is a result of chronic exposure to a high carbohydrate diet.  Carbohydrates elevate your blood sugar dramatically.  Also, obesity makes insulin resistance worse and inflammation worse. It’s a vicious cycle! Inflammation is the root cause of most cardiovascular diseases. Sugar and high carbohydrate diets are causing inflammation.  Overall, you can make your mitochondria healthier through diet and exercise. [19:05] How Does Ketosis Lower Inflammation In The Body?   Ketones are produced when you metabolize fats.  When you switch to fat metabolism, it triggers more antioxidant reactions within the cell.  Ketones will reduce the amount of fat within the cells.  High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hs-CRP) is the best measure of your chronic inflammation. You want that number to be low. Exercise is one of the best ways to stimulate mitophagy. Mitophagy helps remove aged and damaged mitochondria.  [32:45] How Do You Produce Glucose In Your Body Without Eating Sugar?  You need glucose in your blood. If you don’t eat carbohydrates, your liver has a mechanism called  gluconeogenesis.  Gluconeogenesis will help your liver cells create glucose through non-sugar sources. You need about a teaspoon of sugar in your blood at any time.  Gluconeogenesis will also burn an extra 250 calories a day through that process.  [43:00] Studying The Ketogenic Diet on Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer Dr. Hopper did a study on women with metastatic breast cancer. He put them on a ketogenic diet. However, women have different types of breast cancers, and they are taking various types of medications.  Dr. Hopper provides all the food for them; he knows exactly what they are eating.  Anecdotally speaking, he has seen significant improvements. The ketogenic diet had the same effect on these women as on an average healthy population. A very positive therapeutic benefit to a well-formulated ketogenic diet is concomitant treatment.  [52:00] How To Improve Your HDL Cholesterol Levels  You want less LDL and more HDL.  Three things improve HDL: Exercise Alcohol Saturated Fats There's no relationship between saturated fat in the diet and cardiovascular disease. In reality, it has much more to do with how much sugar is in your diet. If your LDL is too high, a physician will recommend putting you on a statin.

[1:40] Do You Think Fasting is Bad? Listen And Learn the Truth  -       Intermittent fasting triggers autophagy, reduces inflammation and helps the brain with depression, anxiety, and many more body issues. -       Fasting becomes terrible when it's too much, just like anything else. -       The benefits of fasting far outweigh the negative side effects. -       You must manage your insulin resistance and fatty liver to lose weight. You don't lose weight to get rid of your disease. -       There are many things that need to tweak your intermittent fasting so you're not stressing the body. -       You don’t need to do a 24-hour fasting every day.  [15:45] Know These Tips and Tricks To Enhance Your Fasting Results  -       When you break a fast, the trick is that you break it with lean wild animal protein to enhance fat burning. -       Following a meal of wild animal protein, your following meal should target more balanced and lower carb with the appropriate vegetables. Return to eating wild animal protein after that. -       Poultry chickens are now being vaccinated, increasing the production of Spike protein in your body. -       We must be more proactive in our intermittent fasting and consuming these wild meats while avoiding meals that will only increase inflammation. -       Intermittent fasting and iodine supplementation can boost apoptosis and avoid the spike protein.  [23:21] What is spike protein, and How You Can Get It In Your Body?  -       Spike protein, a crucial component of the SARS covid virus that causes COVID-19, is responsible for the virus's ability to infect human cells. -       The spike protein is causing mental illness on top of what we're experiencing. -       Glyphosate and all the GMOs in our diets, the radiation, heavy metals in our water, fluoride, bromide, and chlorine are just piling up the burden on your liver. [35:06] Iodine: Myths You Should Not Believe and Why It is Beneficial to our Body  -       Consuming Iodine becomes harmful when it is not the right type and when it is too much. -       Most people are hypothyroid, so anyone with compromised health already has far less cellular energy to break down molecules, compounds, and iodine complexes into bioavailable forms. -       Anything not bioavailable can become foreign or toxic in our bodies. -       There's an iodine receptor site on every cell, not just your thyroid. -       Accelerated iodine is the only mono-atomic iodine that has 100% bioavailability. -       Table salts, based on a study, had microplastics in them. [38:50] Salt and Microplastic: The Toxicity In Today’s Food That You Be Aware Of  -       If you are consuming iodine, there's no room in those cell receptor sites for toxins to hold on to, and your body will then flush out the toxins much easier. -       Make sure you're doing the mono-atomic iodine. -       Any food that you think you're getting iodine from China, Japan or the Asian waters will be radioactive and have those toxins in them. -       Clean fasting requires iodine and salt or a complete salt, like accelerated salt, because iodine is known to be the number one spiritual element. -       The accelerated salt has 62 minerals. -       The right iodine makes you feel great while fasting, enhancing the benefits you normally get from intermittent fasting alone.  [52:54] Take Iodine and Boost Your ATP Production 18 Times More! -       A normal cell has about two ATP per cell when you're running on glucose, so with just the iodine, it increases to 36 ATP per mitochondria. -       Intermittent fasting increases ATP. -       Accelerated keto increases ATP by five to 10 times. -       The next fad diet will be the mitochondrial diet because it's all about increasing mitochondrial health, which will reverse aging. -       When you're eating fructose and the seed oils, that's lowering your ATP per cell.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Get Accelerated Health Products here: https://acceleratedhealthproducts.com/ketokamp Use the coupon code KETOKAMP for 10% off   ●  Website: https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/ ●  Personal Website: https://sarabantahealth.com/ ●  Follow Sara Banta: ●  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/acceleratedhealthproducts ●  Twitter: https://twitter.com/sarawbanta ●  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AcceleratedHealthRadio/featured ●  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/acceleratedhealthproducts/ ●  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 Join my 90 day heavy metals detox program (6 spots left) http://www.ketokampdetox.com  Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- Download your FREE Vegetable Oil Allergy Card here: https://onlineoffer.lpages.co/vegetable-oil-allergy-card-download/ / / 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.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Yoshi Rahm. He is a board-certified osteopathic family physician with a separate board certification in Integrative and Holistic Medicine. Dr. Yoshi grew up in a small town in Northern California. His simple upbringing, which included living without electricity, TV, or phone, gave him an early appreciation for healthy living.   He attended U.C. San Diego, where he majored in Animal Physiology and Neuroscience and minored in Human Development. He ran Track and Cross-Country for UCSD before co-founding a running club. After graduating, Dr. Yoshi interned at a neuroscience laboratory in Germany and traveled throughout Europe before working at a nonprofit Biotech laboratory in San Diego. Dr. Yoshi attended Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine. As a medical student, he participated in many volunteer activities, including medical missions to Mexico and Ecuador. After medical school, he completed his Internship and Residency in Family Medicine at Glendale Adventist Medical Center. During his time there, he was elected Chief Resident. Upon graduation, he received the two highest distinctions: “Resident Teacher Award” as presented by the faculty and “Resident of the Year Award” as recognized by the staff. Dr. Yoshi then became an Attending Physician teaching at the same residency program. In this episode, Dr. Yoshi speaks about the inspiration behind his career in brain health. He explains why disease and life expectancy stats are getting worse instead of better in the United States. Later, Dr. Yoshi dives into everything methylene blue: the history, the benefits, and how it works to improve your health. Tune in as we chat about ozone therapy, extra-corporeal blood ozonation and oxygenation (EBOO), and other biohacks.  JOIN MY 90 DAY HEAVY METALS DETOX PROGRAM (2 SPOTS LEFT): HTTP://WWW.KETOKAMPDETOX.COM  Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm Purchase methylene blue here: https://bit.ly/3Wj3n70 use code KETOKAMP for a discount / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S Good Idea Functional Sparkling Water Drinks.

He passed away from a seizure when he was twenty-five. So, Dr. Yoshi grew interested in brain health and how we can help the neurological system.  Dr. Yoshi grew up on 40 acres in the middle of nowhere with no TV, electricity, toilet, or phones. His childhood had an impact on his appreciation for healthy living.  In college, Dr. Yoshi majored in Animal Physiology and Neuroscience. Now, Dr. Yoshi makes a big difference in the lives of others through exceptional integrative and modern medical care. [07:55] Why Disease Stats Are Not Getting Any Better In The United States  Many diseases come down to politics, poor education, and big pharma. Where is the money being spent on advertising? It’s being spent on pharmaceutical ads.  The population will split into two segments: the people who know what real health is and everyone else in the United States.  The average life expectancy has actually gone down in the past year or two.  [12:00] What You Need To Know About Methylene Blue Methylene blue has been around for a little over 100 years.  In fact, methylene blue was one of the first true medications in the United States.  The World Health Organization has methylene blue on its list of essential medications to fight parasites.  Methylene blue is excellent for the mitochondria.  Methylene blue's only real side effect is that your mouth will turn blue.  If you require mitochondria support, methylene blue is extremely useful.  [20:20] Using Methylene Blue To Benefit The Mitochondria and Help Your Body Heal   “Methylene blue is food for the mitochondria.” -Dr. Yoshi   You can have these mitochondria that die off, but you can also have half-functioning mitochondria. When you have a metabolic disease, the mitochondria are not working well. Methylene blue will go to the broken mitochondria, which will benefit it the most.  There are many reasons for disease, but one is not having enough energy. When we can correct deficiencies, our bodies will know how to heal.  [27:10] Some of the Many Benefits You Can Experience Using Methylene Blue Methylene blue will give you clarity of mind because it supplies enough energy to the brain. Also, methylene blue will help brain fog lift.  Plus, methylene blue is excellent for physical energy.  Any excess methylene blue gets excreted through the kidneys. So, methylene blue is good for chronic UTIs and bladder infections.  Lastly, methylene blue is phenomenal for chronic infections.  [36:15] Using Sunlight, Sea Salt, and Water To Help With Cell Communication  Humans used to get water from springs and rivers. Water, minerals, and sunlight will structure the water. Get clean water, add high-quality sea salt, and put it in the sun.  That way, you will better structure the water and absorb it into the body.  [40:05] About Ozone Therapy and How It Can Help You Find Better Health  There are a lot of different types of ozone therapies out there. Ozone balances cytokines and the immune system. Ozone is a supercharged form of oxygen comprised of three atoms. At Dr. Yoshi’s office, he does O3D Infusion or Extra-Corporeal Blood Ozonation and Oxygenation (EBOO or EBO2). This type of therapy will give you a larger ozone dose, translating to better health.  Learn more about the services at Oasis Family Medicine: https://www.oasisfamilymedicine.com/ AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Yoshi’s Website: https://www.oasisfamilymedicine.com/ Follow Dr. Yoshi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctorYoshi Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDoctorYoshi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/YoshiRahm Blog: https://dryoshirahm.blogspot.com Dr. Pompa with Dr. Yoshi on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZlEmDcvIpE Purchase the Methylene Blue Suppository that Ben uses, called Lumetol Blue Bullet: https://www.mitozen.com/ketokamp/?v=7516fd43adaa, and use the coupon code ketokamp   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 Purchase methylene blue here: https://bit.ly/3Wj3n70 use code KETOKAMP for a discount.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Chris Palmer. He received his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine and did his internship and psychiatry residency at McLean Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Palmer leads McLean Hospital’s Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education. In this role, he has developed hundreds of educational conferences, workshops, Grand Rounds, and other professional educational activities, most of them under the aegis of Harvard Medical School. His leadership has transformed the department from a small, subsidized department of the hospital into a flourishing educational program that is now leading mental health education for professionals nationwide. He has held numerous leadership positions in the continuing education field beyond McLean Hospital’s program, including serving on leadership, advisory, and strategic planning committees of Harvard Medical School, Partners Healthcare, the Massachusetts Medical Society, and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). In this episode, Dr. Palmer will delve into various topics including nicotine's effects on mitochondrial function, the cell danger response and its relationship with mitochondria, the impact of stressors on mitochondrial responses, variations in mitochondrial responses among different tissues and cell types, and the concept of energy allocation and optimization within the body's systems.

[03:22] The Transformative Power of the Ketogenic Diet in Mental Health Long-term adherence to a ketogenic diet can lead to significant health improvements. The ketogenic diet has shown potential in improving mental health conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Weight loss goals can serve as a powerful motivator for individuals with mental health challenges to embark on dietary changes. The ketogenic diet has the potential to reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia in certain individuals. The success of the ketogenic diet in mental health has sparked scientific research and clinical trials, positioning it as a promising approach in the field of neuroscience. [13:08] Mitochondria: Its Intricate Role in Mental Health Mitochondria, often known as the powerhouse of the cell, have far-reaching functions beyond energy production. Mitochondria play critical roles in the functioning of cells, including tasks relevant to mental health. High mitochondrial concentration is observed at synapses, the communication points between neurons. Mitochondria actively contribute to neurotransmitter release and the restoration of ion gradients at synapses. Disruption of mitochondrial function at synapses can impair neurotransmitter release and impact mental health. [21:16] Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Dietary Impact on Health Mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by oxidative stress, can lead to cell death. The standard American diet high in processed carbs and seed oils may contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction. Adopting a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet or practicing fasting can stimulate mitochondrial adaptation and improvement. Fasting and ketogenic diet trigger autophagy, a process that removes defective proteins and promotes cellular renewal. Mitochondrial biogenesis occurs during fasting or a ketogenic diet, leading to an increase in healthy mitochondria and potentially benefiting both metabolic and mental health. [29:20] Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Neuronal Vulnerability Malfunctioning mitochondria struggle to process fuel sources, leading to insufficient ATP production and cellular dysfunction. Glycolysis becomes the alternative energy pathway in cells with dysfunctional mitochondria, resulting in lactic acid buildup and further impairments. Excessive reactive oxygen species exacerbate the cellular struggles, leading to apoptosis in most cells but posing challenges in neurons. Neurons lack programmed cell death (apoptosis) and rely on protective mechanisms, making them highly vulnerable to oxidative stress. Neuronal death and shrinkage can contribute to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. [50:14] Nicotine's Effects on Mitochondria and the Cell Danger Response Nicotine, as a stimulant, can enhance mitochondrial function in low doses, potentially improving mood, cognition, and memory. Pure nicotine can be beneficial if used appropriately and in moderation, but excessive use or underlying health issues can lead to harm. Mitochondria play a role in the cell danger response, where they adjust energy production based on perceived threats, such as infections or stressors. Mitochondrial responses to stressors vary among different tissues and cell types, with some increasing energy production and others reducing it. The body constantly reallocates energy resources to optimize overall function, guided by complex coordination between cells, mitochondria, and the nervous system. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Brian Lenzkes. He is an internal medicine doctor based in San Diego who has focused much of his attention on clinical nutrition. He owned his own medical practice with a group of physicians from 2004-2020. Dr. Lenzkes is co-host of the popular LowCarbMD podcast, which has more than 1.4 million downloads, and is a professional speaker. Dr. Lenzkes attended UC Irvine and received a Bachelor of Science in Biology before attending the University of Southern California Medical School. After graduating in 1999, he started his Residency Program at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego. He extended his residency for a year to serve as Chief Resident before starting his private practice career at Internal Medicine Associates in 2004. Dr. Lenzkes has been voted one of the "Top Doctors" in San Diego for 11 years. Even after gaining the medical community's and his patients' respect, Dr. Lenzkes felt a void as many patients with chronic conditions became sick and required more medications. At the same time, Dr. Lenzkes battled his own weight gain while following 'standard medical advice.' In this episode, Dr. Lenzkes first reveals how he learned about a fasting and low-carb lifestyle. After trying it himself, Dr. Lenzkes lost the weight he gained while following 'standard medical advice.' Dr. Lenzkes dives deep into the correlation between high insulin levels and cardiovascular disease. If you haven't already, now is the time to check your insulin levels. Tune in as we chat about reversing type 2 diabetes, the importance of muscle mass, and the massive problem with chronic stress.   Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com JOIN MY 90 DAY HEAVY METALS DETOX PROGRAM (6 SPOTS LEFT): HTTP://WWW.KETOKAMPDETOX.COM  -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

One patient found fasting successful, and Dr. Lenzkes decided to research the lifestyle. After losing weight with fasting and low-carb, Dr. Lenzkes was hesitant to share this new information with his patients.  Dr. Lenzkes got a lot of backlash from his colleagues. However, Dr. Lenzkes gets patients off insulin; not many people can say that.  [13:30] The Correlation Between High Insulin Levels and Cardiovascular Disease  There's a massive correlation between high insulin levels and cardiovascular disease. Nearly 100% of Dr. Lenzkes’s patients have never had an insulin check until seeing him. You don’t just wake up with type two diabetes; you have ten years to predict that diabetes is coming before you get it.  Lower your insulin levels; that way, you won’t need as much insulin to get the desired effect.  Dr. Lenzkes highly recommends checking out Dr. Jason Fung’s work. Find it here: https://www.thefastingmethod.com/. [19:40] How Exercise and Movement Will Help Prevent Type 2 Diabetes  Most diabetics, if you look at their lab work untreated, they're going to have high triglycerides in that 300 to 500 range. LDL can be increased or low; it doesn't matter. HDL will be low.  When you get HDL right and the triglycerides come down, you feel a lot better. Exercise and stress management is essential because it helps burn sugar and your fat reserves.  When you run out of reserves, you have diabetes because the sugar stays in your bloodstream.  [31:50] The Reason Doctors Don’t Talk About Diet and Lifestyle During A Visit Dr. Lenzkes uses a company called Ulta Lab Tests: https://www.ultalabtests.com/. Patients can order Ulta, or your doctor can get it for less.  Doctors have been trained a certain way, so they may not want to test for insulin.  Plus, doctors are pressed for time and are judged based on how many patients they see each day.  Many doctors only see a patient for nine minutes. It is impossible to talk about diet and lifestyle during these visits.  [36:10] Many Doctors Don’t See The Truth; Instead, They Stick With What They Learned In Medical Schools  Doctors are taught that you need three meals daily, and breakfast is the day's most important meal. However, that’s simply not the case.  Doctors stick with what they learn no matter what evidence says otherwise.  Many doctors will see high blood pressure and tell people to cut salt. Well, salt is high because insulin is high. High insulin causes you to retain sodium in your kidney. The answer should be to lower insulin instead.  [42:50] Lower Your Insulin Through Sleep, Exercise, and Stress Management What’s more important to lower insulin, sleep or exercise? If you prioritize something, it’s sleep. Next, don’t be stressed out and angry. Then, eat real food that isn’t processed to lower insulin.  Regular exercise will also help lower insulin.  The more muscle mass you have, the more insulin sensitive you are.  Putting muscle mass on is never going to be the wrong answer. The more muscle mass you have, the longer you live. The lower your insulin levels are, the longer you live.  [57:30] Chronic Stress Could Be Causing Your Metabolical Sickness  Fatty liver disease means you are metabolically sick. When you are metabolically sick, you risk dying from all different types of diseases.  The biggest scare we have is high insulin.  When you’re under chronic stress, it’s not good. Think about ways to get your priorities straight through sleep and stress management.  AND MUCH MORE!

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!

[9:41] Why Having Longevity Goals Better Than Performance and Fitness Goals?  -       Fitness goals are driven by initial vanity, and performance goal mainly focuses on eating to improve your performance. But both goals do not translate to longevity. -       For longevity, you need to consider how your eating and doing affect certain markers in your bloodwork. -       Body scans and blood work should be superior to having a good outward appearance. -       You can have fitness and performance goals, but longevity goals should be prioritized. [17:53] Sleep, Nutrition, & Diet: Which One is The Most Important? -       Start with your diet first. -       Diet is what you do. Every day, it's a conscious effort. It's where you start balancing your hormones out. -       If you start exercising, most people will get hungry, which goes back to the diet. [24:06] Get a Calcium Score and Strive to Achieve The Power of Zero -       Zane has a zero-calcium score with his animal meat diet. -       Everyone should have a goal of getting a zero score on calcium score. -       The calcium score is the ultimate test to see if you are at risk. -       It’s important for people to get a calcium score. [32:53] Testosterone Injections: Should You Do It or Avoid It? -       Once you get past your late 40s to 50s, you can be optimizing all of your lifestyle habits and still have a free testosterone level in the single digits, and there's not much more you can do to improve it. -       What happens when testosterone is low is that it’s more about personal drive and libido, creativity, brain fog, and your ability to focus. -       It’s up to men to decide. -       Hormone replacement therapy is a game changer for men and women in their 50s or 60s. -       Hormone replacement therapy should never be a substitute for poor lifestyle choices.  [47:12] Kicking Ass After 50: The Book Is Written for Men, But What about Women? -       Every principle in the book regarding diet, exercise and sleep applies to humans. -       Whatever a guy would do to optimize his testosterone would work for optimizing any sex hormone. -       The book talks revolve around men, but if you’re a woman and it doesn’t bother you, read it by all means. -       What guys want to consume is something that is concise, easy to put in place, and straight to the point. But certainly, all the information applies to men and women of all ages.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: ●  Website: https://zanegriggs.com/ ●  Follow Zane Griggs ●  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/zanesblog/ ●  Twitter: https://twitter.com/zanegriggs ●  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@healthyaf/featured ●  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zanegriggsfitness/ ●  Zane Griggs Kicking Ass After 50 book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Kicking-Ass-After-Ken-Berry/dp/B0C1J5BNWW/benazadi-20 ●  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 Join my 90 day heavy metals detox program (6 spots left) http://www.ketokampdetox.com  Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- Download your FREE Vegetable Oil Allergy Card here: https://onlineoffer.lpages.co/vegetable-oil-allergy-card-download/ / / 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.
