Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Alexandra Sowa. As the daughter of a hand surgeon, Dr. Alexandra Sowa was exposed to medicine at a young age. She loved how her father could transform people’s lives by giving them back the use of their hands. Check out SoWell: https://lddy.no/13m4s Use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off your entire order. In her internal medicine residency, she saw that same sort of transformation for patients who lost weight and drastically improved their health. Once she knew weight loss medicine was a specialization she could pursue, she never considered anything else. Now Dr. Sowa is a board-certified physician of Internal Medicine, specializing in preventive health, nutrition and obesity medicine. Through her New York City practice, she has helped thousands of patients lose weight and live healthier lives. Dr. Sowa also holds an appointment as a Clinical Instructor in Medicine at the New York University School of Medicine. Outside of her practice, she enjoys communicating health messages to the public through print and television. She has published original articles on health-related topics in publications like The Atlantic, NPR, Slate Magazine and the New York Daily News. She has also served as an on-air health expert for national media outlets like Fox News, CBS News, NPR, and The Doctors. Her medical opinions have been featured in print publications, from the New York Times to U.S. News and World Report to Glamour and Parents Magazine. She is a regular weight-loss expert on SiriusXM radio. She is passionate about optimizing health through food. You can often find her making healthy meals (and a mess!) for her husband and two young sons in the kitchen. In this episode, Dr. Sowa talks about how she got involved in the health space and her passion for preventing metabolic dysfunction. Unfortunately, 88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible; however, Dr. Sowa says there are easy ways to reverse that. Plus, Dr. Sowa talks about the importance of data and your optimal markers. Tune in as we chat about supplements, intermittent fasting, and the importance of quality sleep.

Plus, the idea of prevention always was very attractive to her. Sowa always wondered why doctors want to treat the disease if they could prevent it. At college, she really started to understand a holistic view of what it means to be healthy. Eventually, Dr. Sowa realized a lot of problems in health boils down to metabolic dysfunction. [04:40] Why Are 88% of Americans Metabolically Inflexible? So, Dr. Sowa says the solution is actually pretty straightforward. You can reverse type 2 diabetes; again, it is reversible! Many people think a low-carb and high-fat diet will give you a heart attack or a stroke; that’s simply not true. The three macronutrients are carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Out of those three macronutrients, carbohydrates will spike glucose and insulin the most. It makes total sense that we should eat more protein and fat to reverse high insulin. [16:45] What Is An Optimal Range For Fasting Insulin? Optimal is usually under five. Even up to eight is okay for fasting insulin. Anything higher than eight means your body is making too much insulin in response to carbohydrates. When Dr. Sowa does bloodwork, she’s looking for metabolic syndrome. Plus, Dr. Sowa wants to look for vitamin deficiencies. Learn more about the kits that Dr. Sowa offers here: https://lddy.no/13m4s Use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off your entire order. [20:50] How Often Should Someone Retest Their Markers? You should test once a quarter. If you are embarking on a new lifestyle change, Dr. Sowa says to test right away. That way, you have the data. Once you start eating keto, then you can see what improves. Your markers are a better victory than what you see on the scale. [24:20] How Dr. Sowa Wants To Help People With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome PCOS is a disease of insulin resistance in the majority of cases. For years, the medical community has gone about treating this in the wrong way. Up to 50% of women with PCOS will go on to develop type two diabetes by the time they're 40. Women with PCOS can make themselves feel better by following a low carbohydrate diet. Sowa developed a kit to help women get a diagnosis. It usually takes women five years and three doctors to understand their diagnosis. [28:10] Why Dr. Sowa Is A Big Fan of Intermittent Fasting   Fasting will reset your hormones. Plus, fasting is a great way to understand your relationship with food and hunger. Remember, you don’t have to eat every two hours. In the beginning, it's not necessarily about eating less; it's just about eating less often.   [31:10] Why Dr. Sowa Loves Walking After A Meal Walk after a meal, so your muscles have the ability to take up any glucose. We should be moving right after we eat to take up any free glucose and use it for energy instead of fat storage. Five minutes will make a difference! The sweet spot would be fifteen to twenty minutes. [34:10] How Important Is Quality Sleep Each Night? If you don’t get good sleep, sleep, you will be hungry and crave carbohydrates. Good quality and consistent sleep will keep your cortisol levels down. When cortisol spikes from poor sleep, the hunger hormone will also spike. Plus, you will get a spike in insulin. When insulin is high, it will drive hunger. One of the silent epidemics in our country is sleep apnea, where people cannot get good sleep no matter how hard they try. Luckily, Dr. Sowa will screen for sleep apnea. [40:30] The Supplements That Dr. Sowa Recommends Sowa is a fan of her GetSoBalanced supplement. This formula is great for a number of things: Weight management Healthy metabolism Blood sugar regulation Insulin sensitivity Healthy cholesterol levels PCOS symptom relief Gastrointestinal microbial balance Check out GetSoBalanced here: https://lddy.no/13m4s Use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off your entire order.  Also, Dr. Sow loves myo-inositol; it is a natural alternative to Metformin. It’s great for both men and women. [46:05] What To Do Before You Take A SoWell Test First, chug water! Next, warm up your hands. Run them under warm water and get the circulation going. Sometimes, you have to massage the finger to get blood to come out. Once you prick your finger, trust the process. AND MUCH MORE!

At that point, Bronson started to question what he was doing.  Eventually, Bronson realized that if you aren’t moving forward, you are moving backward. [05:30] How Bronson Started To Change His Lifestyle  First, Bronson stopped eating french fries.  He was eating three to four servings of french fries a day.  It took a year for Bronson to stop thinking about fries.  Plus, Bronson would eat out all of the time. So, he needed to change that habit.  [14:30] How To Let Go of Something To Grow and Improve  You have to live within who you think you are. If you don’t like where you’re at, you need to change your reality. Make the changes you need to be in the reality you dream about.  Overall, you have to let something go in order to move forward.  [16:40] Eat More Protein and Build Lean Muscle Mass  Bronson recommends reading Keto by Maria Emmerich. Keto: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MYRTGT5/benazadi-20 Protein works completely differently in the body than fat and carbs.  There’s a difference between functional calories and fuel calories. Protein will build, whereas carbs and fat will be fuel.  Also, Bronson says to check out The P:E Diet: https://pedietbook.com/ You don’t want to have your protein lower than your fuel.  Take your lean mass, turn it into grams, and that’s how much protein you want as a minimum, and that’s the maximum that you should have for fat and carbs combined.  [21:50] The Difference Between Animal-Based Protein and Plant-Based Protein   Animal-based protein is bioavailable; your body needs to be able to use that protein.  If you get protein from plants, your body has to do extra work.  For example, if you’re getting most of your nutrients from plants, then you need more vitamin C because you’re not getting as much collagen.  There’s a bunch of extra work you need to do when you’re getting protein from plants.  [28:40] Why Bronson Is A Huge Fan of Living a Carnivore Lifestyle   Bronson follows a carnivore diet, but he has butter and eggs.  He eats about eight eggs a day.  Bronson loves cheese, but it doesn’t love him back.  Before Bronson started his health journey, he was lactose intolerant.  However, he can now have dairy with no gastric distress.  Right now, he eats a lot of lamb, sausage, and eggs.  [36:15] Bronson Gives Tips For Increasing Your Muscle Mass   First, you need to realize that it doesn’t take a lot.  All it takes is increasing your current load.  You need to help your body manage external stress. Nutrition and exercise are 50/50.  You can eat perfectly, but if you aren’t using your body, you can’t handle anything externally.  The more you can improve your body, the more you will keep progressing.  [43:40] Here’s The Marker You Want For Your Skeletal Muscle Mass  45% skeletal muscle mass is what men should have.  40% skeletal muscle mass for women. You need a body composition scan.  Bronson weighs 185 and has a muscle mass of 93 pounds which is 51%.  Instead of focusing on weight loss, focus on building muscle mass.  You don’t lose weight to get healthy. Instead, you get healthy to lose weight.  Bronson is a fan of InBody machines:  https://apex-training-system.myshopify.com/products/inbody-h20n?ref=BENAZADI Use the coupon code: KETOKAMP AND MUCH MORE!

[6:32] Do You Want to Age Slower and Avoid Disease? Optimize Nitric Oxide in Your Body  -       Nitric Oxide is the Holy Grail of anti-aging medicine in longevity. -       Everything we've discovered about the onset and progression of chronic disease over the last 30 years has been linked to a decrease in nitric oxide production. -        Nitric oxide is the glue for protein to bind glucose to the membrane. -       We can practically overcome all of the metabolic characteristics of type 2 diabetes if we restore nitric oxide production and insulin signaling. -        The improper diet, lifestyle, and standard pharmacotherapy all lead to disruption in nitric oxide. [21:48] The Problem With Low Cholesterol, & How This Blocks Nitric Oxide From Doing its Job  -       Our body makes cholesterol. If our body needs cholesterol, it will make it on demand.  So, we get cholesterol from the diet, and we also get it through endogenous production. -       Cholesterol is also the backbone for things like testosterone, estrogen, and vitamin D. If our cholesterol gets too low, it will lead to a deficiency in hormones and vitamins. -       Our body senses what's going on and then self-corrects. But if we have a drug that inhibits and dodges cholesterol production, which is what a statin does, then our body can't respond. -        Physicians and drugs don't heal patients; patients heal themselves. [29:39] How Vegetables Increase Nitric Oxide Inside Your Body -       Vegetables contain nitrate. Green leafy vegetables are high in what's called inorganic nitrate. -       Nitrate is inert in humans. But when we consume these vegetables, 90 minutes after we consume them, the nitrate is taken up in the good and concentrated in our salivary glands.  -       We have a mechanism that allows you to eat a plant-based diet, restore nitric oxide production, and reverse cardiovascular disease. However, not all patients respond to this mechanism. Some got better, and some didn’t. -       There's high variability in the nitrate content of vegetables. So, there's no way to predict how much you will get from eating vegetables. It depends on where they're grown, how they're grown, and when you consume them. -       The other issue is you have to have the right oral bacteria. So, if you're using mouthwash, you won't get the nitric oxide benefits of that plant-based diet.  [33:53] How Big Pharma Brain Washes The World -       75% of all the advertisements on TV are from big pharma. And 11% plus is from fast food. Thus, people are constantly misinformed about the solution to their health. -       There's no good news on TV. So stop watching. But if you listen to those commercials, ask yourself, Do I want to have one of these potential side effects? -        Give the body what it needs, get rid of the things it doesn't need, and the body heals itself.  [41:41] Other Ways to Produce Nitric Oxide  -       In terms of exercise, three to four days of moderate physical exercise, people have already seen improvement in material function. -        If you stop doing what's disrupting nitric oxide production and start doing the things that promote and stimulate it, the body responds. [1:10:01] Nitric Oxide vs. Methylene Blue: Learn the Truth Behind The Effect Of Methylene Blue  -       Methylene blue eliminates the signaling aspects of nitric oxide, and bad things happen if you don't get enough nitric oxide. -       The ability to create nitric oxide inhibits the majority of people. -       People out there are saying bad things about nitric oxide because it's in the literature that methylene blue inhibits its production. So, they have to change their narrative. -       Optimizing nitric oxide production enhances telomere length, improves mitochondrial function, improves stem cell function, and oxygenates every organ tissue and cell in the body.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: ●  Website: https://n1o1.com/ ●  Bryan Therapeutics: https://www.bryantherapeutics.com/ ●  Follow Dr. Nathan Bryan ●  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drnathansbryan/ ●  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/nathan.bryan.16/ ●  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drnitric?lang=en  ●  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrNathanSBryanNitricOxide/featured ●  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drnathansbryan/?hl=en ●  Dr. Nathan on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Functional-Nitric-Oxide-Nutrition-Strategies-ebook/dp/B07CYH3V1Y?ref_=ast_author_dp/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 4 Secrets to Reversing Diabetes LIVE Training With Ben Azadi.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Shana Hussin. She grew up in Wisconsin, and earned her dietetics degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1999. While very active throughout her entire lifetime, she struggled with weight gain in college, despite following conventional nutrition recommendations and exercising extensively. It took many years to figure out why she was so much bigger then, but the truth revealed itself when Shana discovered hormonal connections between weight gain, and eventually growing sick and fat. Shana has worked in the medical nutrition therapy field for 20 years. Like most dietitians, she recommended strategies to her clients for much of her career that failed them long-term, with little sustainable weight loss. This proved to be frustrating to both practitioner and client. Armed with new knowledge, an open mind, and simple healing concepts, she developed a 5- Step lifestyle improvement program for her clients, resulting in immediate and sustained success. Determined to share correct and effective concepts with as many as she could reach, she started writing. Shana now serves those wanting to learn her teachings with books, digital products, personalized virtual visits, group coaching, Facebook support groups, the Fast To Heal Stories podcast, and her popular 28-Day Finding Nutritional PEACE Group Challenges, which run every season. To learn more about or to sign up for any of her programs, visit fasttoheal.info. Shana and her husband have 3 awesome children and live in Kaukauna, WI. When she is able, she loves reading, running, traveling, sitting in the sunshine, walking with friends, and cheering her children on in whatever they are pursuing. In this episode, Shana opens the show by talking about her son’s ulcerative colitis diagnosis. After months of symptoms, the doctors told Shana to prepare to remove her son’s colon. Luckily, Shana sought help outside of the conventional medical system and healed her son without removing his organs. Then, Shana speaks about when she questioned her traditional training as a dietician. After getting sick, Shana started to heal herself by dialing back carbs, increasing healthy fats, and eating more protein. Tune in as we chat all about her new book, Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance.

After weeks, he still had diarrhea. So, they went and got testing, but nothing was coming back. Three months after he started having symptoms, he had a colonoscopy done, and he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. He had lost a bunch of weight and couldn’t keep up with sports at the age of eleven. Later, the doctor said Shana needed to get ready to take his colon out. However, Shana found experts outside of the conventional medicine that helped heal her son. [13:30] Why Shana Started To Question Her Dietician Training Shana was a dietician for ten years before she started questioning things. She told people to eat low fat, mostly plants and whole grains. Ten years in, Shana’s clients weren’t getting any better. After having three children, Shana started to develop her own health problems. Shana had four or five canker sores in her mouth, bloating, and a lack of energy. She knew something in her diet had to be the problem. It took a long time to figure out what was wrong. Shana started fasting, dialing back carbs, and increasing fats. After a few months, Shana was sleeping better, her bloating went away, and her canker sores vanished. [23:25] The Lessons That Shana Talks About In Her Book, Fast To Heal Get Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0874JXVP7/benazadi-20 P stands for Prepare. Prepare your body for fasting. Get the junk out of your system as much as possible. Eat more whole foods and get your carbohydrates down so your body can adapt to ketones. E stands for Extend Your Fast. Stop eating after dinner. Figure out your trigger and remove it. Start pushing your first meal back in the morning. If you like eating in the morning, close your window sooner at night. A stands for Alter Nutrition As Needed. Women always need to increase their protein. When you’re not eating protein and natural fats, then you’re going to be ill and hungry. Also, it’s time to ditch the seed oils. C stands for Clean, Challenge, and Change Make sure that your fast is clean and you’re not stimulating insulin. Challenge days work well for people who have been sick for a long time; pick one day where you will do a twenty-four-hour fast. If you have severe insulin resistance, extended fasts can help you heal. E stands for Ease Your Mind. If you don’t sleep and have stress, then your hormones will be out of whack. Stress leads to binge eating and not feeling well. It’s a vicious cycle, so you need to get your sleep and stress dialed in. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am excited to have here with me Dr. Tunis Hunt. He is an expert in chiropractors and the doctor at Hunt for Wellness. This chiropractic wellness center helps people uncover and resolve their underlying health problems to achieve optimal health.  Dr. Hunt grew up in a chiropractic household. His father is a chiropractor, which helps him see the impact of it on the lives of people. As a child, Dr. Hunt could not fully grasp the power of chiropractic until he enrolled in the chiropractic school, where he learned the philosophy of chiropractic and its potential.  A chiropractor’s job is to evaluate the vertebral column of the spine and put something called an adjustment on those areas to remove subluxations and enhance the body's ability to function.  With 18 years of experience, Dr. Hunt is passionate about helping others by relieving them of pain and improving overall health. He encourages us to understand the wonders chiropractic can do to our body because everyone deserves a happier and healthier life.  In this episode, Dr. Hunt explains why people should not be afraid to try chiropractic and feel the relief they’ll get. He also talks about the recommended frequency of chiropractic adjustments, reversing type two diabetes, and finding the right diet for your body. Tune in as we chat about the chiropractor, reversing type 2 diabetes, carnivore diet, and more!  4 Secrets to Reversing Diabetes LIVE Training With Ben Azadi.

[9:32] Try Chiropractic and Feel The Comfort you’ll Get From It -       There are different styles and techniques; some are less physical. Some techniques are simple or as non-invasive as the way the energy flows through the body. -       As a profession, part of what they do is to help people understand what we're doing and not doing. -       Sometimes, the adjustments are sensationalized on social media to make people think it's a violent act. What you see on TikTok is different from what you'll get at most chiropractic offices nationwide. -       Chiropractic is an art, so how chiropractors adjust and what they do can be slightly different. Google reviews and recommendations are a great way to find the best chiropractor. -       Chiropractic care has so many options available. Unless you live or work close to the chiropractic office, receiving high-quality, dependable care may be difficult. So, choose a chiropractor that is close to you.  [22:51] What Is the Recommended Frequency for The Chiropractic Adjustments?  -       Depending on what chiropractic you go to, you may have been sold or influenced to do a gamut of different adjustments. -        At the very minimum, from a wellness perspective, most patients do it about once every month. -       Patients come in twice a month if they're more tuned in to wellness and want to do it more frequently. -       Some love to make adjustments multiple times a week.  [29:38] Having a Back Pain? How Chiropractor may help  -       The most common reason people seek chiropractic care is unspecified back pain. -       Other reasons people seek chiropractic care are neck pain, headache, and sciatica. -       It is up to the chiropractors to help people understand why they might want to consider lifestyle chiropractic care because back pain or other reasons are just symptoms of a bigger issue, and the bigger issue could benefit from ongoing lifestyle care. -       The nice thing about chiropractic is there are so many nuances that a practitioner can choose to go down and specialize in. -       It is about just finding that solution. Keep looking. Don't give up. Chiropractors are here to help. Life's too short to live miserably.  [36:48] Reverse Type Two Diabetes by Doing This -       The key to reverse diabetes is through diet. Storing too much glucose and an overabundance of simple carbohydrates all lead to diabetes. -       This high omega-6 diet, which is prevalent in vegetable oils, raises insulin resistance, the body's inability to pull the glucose out of the blood. And therefore, we get these things called ages or advanced glycogen in products. -       The number one reason people die from diabetes is cardiovascular health. They're not dying from diabetes. They're dying from the diseases connected to it. -       It’s all about recognizing what you put in your body matters. Whether good or bad, your current health status is 100% your responsibility. [44:53] Carnivore Diet: The Surprising Benefits of this Elimination Diet  -       At first, Dr. Hunt used a balanced diet perspective. He taught people the plant-based diet with some meat but primarily consisted of eating fruits and vegetables. -       Dr. Paul Saladino inspires Dr. Hunt to switch from a plant-based base to a meat-based diet. -       In addition to chiropractic, Dr. Hunt runs a Healthy Impact Man coaching program. And as he coaches men, he helps them get them closer to an animal-based diet than they were.  [53:10] Meat or Plant-Based Diet? Which One Should You Choose?  -       There's a difference between a healthy diet and an optimal diet. A healthy diet is just the avoidance of refined carbohydrates, refined sugars, refined seed oils, and trans fats. Anything you eat outside of those four can be considered a human healthy diet. -       Recognize plant toxins that are not good for your body and avoid them. -       Some may find that adding some carbohydrates, vegetables, and grain to their diet is absolutely capable of still having optimal fitness and feeling great. -       You can test around the ideal diet for your body.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Brian Gryn. He is part personal trainer, part golfer, part internet entrepreneur, part author, part health coach and he has a passion for getting the most out of individuals. Through his Integrative Institute of Nutrition education and ten years of group training/coaching, Brian has learned that eating can help the body heal itself. Sometimes it takes small daily changes to make the biggest impact. Brian has never believed in diets or counting calories. Eating whole, real foods makes the most positive impact on the body. His goal is to find what works for you because everybody is unique. In this episode, Brian speaks about getting involved in the health and fitness industry. Then, we jump straight into Brain’s Fat Burner Blueprint. He put together the six most important steps to get results over six months. We chat about each of the six steps: creating clarity and setting your baseline, small changes / big results masterplan, activity upgrade, sleep like a superhero game plan, stress management, and nutrition & meal timing. Tune in as we dive deep into the most common themes that health experts like to talk about on Brian’s podcast Eat Clean, Get Lean.

However, he knew there were missing pieces of the puzzle that could help impact people's health. Brian realized that nutrition and meal timing are huge aspects of health. One of Brian’s clients read The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss (Why Intermittent Fasting Is the Key to Controlling Your Weight). Get your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Obesity-Code-Unlocking-Secrets-Weight-ebook/dp/B01C6D0LCK/benazadi-20 Fasting had a massive impact on his client. Plus, Brian tried fasting himself. The impact that fasting had on Brian’s health really inspired his career in the health and fitness industry. [06:35] Step Number One: Creating Clarity and Set Your Baseline Where are you starting from? Brian likes to use a DEXA scan. A DEXA scan is an imaging test that measures bone density (strength). A lot of people think they can just weigh themselves. However, weight is just a small part of what you should be focusing on. Instead, you want to think about your bone mass, fat mass, and how your clothes are fitting. Next, you want to get crystal clear on your “why.” [11:35] Step Number Two: Small Changes and Big Results Masterplan Identify the low-hanging fruits. What can make the biggest impact right away? People get discouraged if they don’t get small wins. So, focus on some low-hanging fruit that can make a big impact. Then, you can move on to other things that can optimize your health. For example, cutting alcohol can be one of those low-hanging fruits. [13:55] Step Number Three: Activity Upgrade Brian is a huge fan of variable resistance training. He loves the X3 Program. You can learn more about it here: https://www.jaquishbiomedical.com/x3-bar/ You can also start with bodyweight exercises to improve your activity. Plus, if you don’t exercise at all, going outside and taking steps every day is a great way to upgrade your activity. [17:45] Step Number Four: Sleep Like a Superhero Game Plan You should build a simple, manageable routine around sleep. Prioritizing sleep is one of the first steps you should take. If you don’t have a solid sleep routine, you can throw everything else out the window around health. Brian is a fan of WHOOP for tracking his sleep. Learn more about WHOOP here: https://www.whoop.com/experience/sleep/ Ben is a fan of Oura: https://ouraring.com/ [22:05] Step Number Five: Stress Management When people are stressed, they eat. Also, you don’t want to be in fight or flight mode all day. Night meditation is a great way to end the day. Focus on clearing and calming your mind. That way, you will be in a good mindset for your sleep. [27:00] Step Number Six: Nutrition and Meal Timing Clean up your eating and get fat-adapted. Lowering your carbs can help you get off the glucose roller coaster. Down the road, you can cut the number of meals you eat each day. Once you wrap your arms around nutrition, then you can start to look at fasting. [35:20] Which Topics Are Common Among Health and Fitness Experts Brian has a podcast where he interviews all sorts of health and fitness experts. Listen to Eat Clean, Get Lean Podcast: https://briangryn.com/podcast/ Pretty much every guest will talk about the importance of sleep and stress management. Also, prioritizing protein and resistance training are critical elements of health that experts like to discuss. AND MUCH MORE!

[06:56] Sugar and Health: Is Sugar Bad? -       The insidious impact of sugar on health occurs gradually at a cellular level, leading to significant consequences over time. -       Type 2 diabetes increasingly affects adolescents and children due to excessive sugar consumption. -       Mothers play a crucial role in shaping family eating habits and influencing children's diets, underscoring the importance of educating parents about the dangers of sugar. -       The comparison between consuming a single cigarette and consuming sugary treats highlights that the cumulative effects of sugar intake over time can be just as harmful, leading to obesity, diabetes, and related health problems. -       Understanding the concept of "area under the curve" for both cigarettes and sugar intake emphasizes the importance of being mindful of the frequency and duration of these habits to prevent long-term health issues.

It can feel frustrating when you’re doing everything right, and you hit a plateau.  Hot flashes, weight gain, and energy issues are massive symptoms.  Menopause is natural. However, suffering is optional.  In a quick window of time, we can feel improvements and feel empowered.  [07:10] The Importance of Maintaining Healthy Ovarian Function   We can restore and keep healthy ovarian function by looking at hormone disrupters and clearing them from our bodies. Plus, we should support the liver and detoxification.  Healthy habits will allow us to have our menstrual cycles for longer - it’s a longevity marker. One of the risk factors for diabetes and pre-diabetes is menopause. A higher risk factor is if you've had a hysterectomy. Thirdly, if you've had your ovaries removed, you have a significantly higher risk of diabetes. If you had your ovaries removed, even before 65, your risk of cardiovascular disease is almost double.  The association with diabetes tells how important it is to maintain healthy ovarian function.  [09:10] Why Women Need More Ketones Between The Ages of 35 and 55  During ages 35 - 55, the use of glucose in a women’s brain significantly decreases.  Instead, you shift to using ketones for fuel in the brain. Dr. Cabeca emphasizes the importance of greens. Depending on your symptoms, you have to pause greens, or you may have to pause meat.  Sometimes we need to challenge our gut bacteria, and sometimes, we have to support digestive enzymes. It depends on your unique needs.  [14:15] Why You May Want To Consider Using A Progesterone Cream  Dr. Anna Cabeca is a massive fan of progesterone.  There are progesterone receptors in our brain, bones, and breasts. Progesterone supports healthy breast tissue.  Plus, progesterone will support healthy metabolism and healthy neuroendocrine function.  Dr. Cabeca has used progesterone in men for anxiety and insomnia; it is a total game-changer.  Oral progesterone is excellent if you are working on sleep.  Check out Balance if you’re looking for a progesterone cream: https://drannacabeca.com/products/pura-balance-ppr-cream. [22:40] Gratitude and Positive Thinking Can Make You Happier  You have to pause negative thinking.  Negative thoughts will predominate our lives if we allow them to.  Try gratitude and praying.  There is always something to be grateful for.  Gratitude is so easy to do, making it easy not to do.  People have 60,000 thoughts per day - most of them are negative. It’s time to pause and think about gratitude.  [28:45] Using Mighty Maca To Alkalize The Body and Balance Hormones  Ideally, we're working on restoring our natural ovarian production or natural adrenal production. When Dr. Cabeca looks at fertility, she will look at a 21-day progesterone level.  Mighty Maca is something Dr.Cabeca recommends for adrenal support.  One of Dr. Cabeca’s clients used Mighty Maca to fix her progesterone levels and finally get pregnant. Get Mighty Maca here: https://drannacabeca.com/products/mighty-maca [33:10] Unique Plans To Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau  If you hit a plateau, it’s time to pause and try something new. There are five different six-day menu plans.  The gut mucosa regenerates every 72 hours. So a six-day plan will give you two 72 hour cycles.  Here are some of the menu plans: Pausing nightshades Plant-based menu Carnivore menu A cleanse with a gallbladder liver flush Adding healthy carbs AND MUCH MORE!
