And it sticks to things it shouldn’t stick to. -   The first place it does glycate is the proteins throughout the body. -   Type two diabetes is a choice, and it is reversible. [28:40] Red Blood Cells: A Wonderful Look Inside Your Body -   Red blood cells don’t own a nucleus. -   As you measure depths of chronic inflammation or chronic disease, it correlates directly to how well we get oxygen to our tissues. -   Red blood cell has this unique process that allows this unique molecule without a receptor into the cell. -   Red blood cells do not need a carrying device or receptor to get glucose in. [46:11] How Can You Rise Your Ketones Effectively? -   Willie has no insulin resistance, has never been overweight, and his body is healthy. -   You should be able to flex and make ketones while you fast overnight. -   You should migrate from always using glucose to at least during the night when you don’t eat to wake up and have some ketones in circulation. -   You are still not medically healthy if you have so much sugar in the morning that there are no ketones around.  [50:49] How Can You Get Your Vitamin G and Oxytocin Boost? -   One of the physical hacks you can do is left-handed loops. -   Do one minute of Jump Rope. -   It is important to take your right hand and work them in coordination with rhythm to use your cerebellum.  [100:48] What are the Positive Effects of the Mitochondrial Uncoupling Process? -   Youth predictions are correlated to the lifespan of mitochondria. -   Inflammation inside mitochondria has so many mechanisms to undo it. Your body is not designed to fail, and it’s designed to fix what you do wrong. -   We can rate people’s health by how many mitochondria are activated inside their muscle cells, brain cells, and astrocytes inside their cardiac cells. -   The cracks that mitochondria have when it is broken are where electrons leak out. -   Male cells are going to have more mitochondria than female cells. [112:53] Are you depressed? Take Your Vitamin D Now And Replenish Your Brain - Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is a molecule you can’t make if your vitamin D is less than 50. -   Vitamin D changes the survival rate during the pandemic. -   Vitamin D is vital for life.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Amie Hornaman DCN, MsN, CFMP. She is also known as The Thyroid-Fixer, a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world and give them their lives back using her transformation program: The COMPLETE Thyroid Fix Method (CTFM). After her own experience of insufferable symptoms, misdiagnoses and improper treatment, Amie set out to help others who she KNEW were going through the same set of frustrations and who were on the same medical roller coaster. She grabs your hand, gives you answers about your health that no one has told you and gives you the actual tools and treatment to fix you. That’s the transformational journey. With a focus on optimizing thyroid function and thus optimizing her patients, Amie looks at each person as a unique individual and not JUST a lab value. She examines all factors that tie into thyroid dysfunction and thyroid symptoms and treats the person from top to bottom to give them their lives back. In this episode, Dr. Amie opens up about her experience with health issues as a fitness model. Despite cleaning up her diet and exercising, Dr. Amie was gaining weight. After seeing six doctors, finally, Dr. Amie was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Dr. Amie speaks about knowing if you have a thyroid disorder and the role insulin resistance plays in your thyroid. Later, we talk about the benefits of keto and fasting when it comes to your thyroid. Tune in as we chat about berberine, toxins, and how to feel in control of your life.

Everybody knows their body. You know when your body is off. Plus, Dr. Amie was tired, and her hair was falling off. The doctor told her to eat less and exercise more. For Dr. Amie, that wasn’t possible. Six diagnoses later, a doctor said she had hypothyroidism. [04:15] How Long Does It Take For Conventional Medicine To Diagnose A Thyroid Disorder? Doctors are looking at a standard lab range, which is huge. So, it’s challenging to know about thyroid problems with conventional medicine. Some people see between six and ten doctors before learning about hypothyroidism. Amie knows someone who saw forty doctors before she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. It’s different for everyone. However, if you know something is wrong with your body, then you can’t stop searching for answers. [05:05] The Symptoms To Pay Attention To For Thyroid Disorders You may have a thyroid disorder if you are gaining weight with proper diet and exercise. There are other symptoms of thyroid disorders: Hair loss Fatigue Constipation Hypo is low and slow. Your mood will be depressed, your energy will be down, and your ability to burn fat will be down. [11:55] The Role Insulin Resistance Plays With An Underactive Thyroid “I see insulin resistance in about 99% of my thyroid patients.” -Dr. Amie The thyroid gland is the ultimate master gland of all of your trickle-down hormones. If we are living a lifestyle of high carbs and high sugar, we are actually causing insulin resistance. This type of lifestyle does produce a ton of inflammation. High insulin levels will inflame the thyroid and cause the thyroid to not produce enough hormones. Inflammation is beating up the thyroid gland. [14:00] True or False: You Cannot Do Keto With An Underactive Thyroid False! Keto is by far the best way of eating for hypothyroid patients. When there is inflammation, keto can be a total game-changer. Keto will improve inflammation. Therefore, you can improve your thyroid production. [20:30] Is Long-Term Ketosis A Good Idea For People With An Underactive Thyroid?   Being in ketosis for years without a break can lower your 3T3 levels. Usually, it’s not a huge issue because it only lowers those levels a little bit. Instead, Dr. Amie says to come out of ketosis everyone once in a while. Break out of ketosis; that’s all you need to do. Eat a sweet potato once a week. It will keep your thyroid gland active. [28:20] True or False: You Can’t Fast With A Thyroid Issue False! When we're talking about the thyroid, we have to take into account the adrenal glands and cortisol production. Adrenal fatigue is blown out of the water a little bit too much. We do have to think about stress on the body and how it's going to affect your cortisol production. You can’t deny the benefits of fasting. If you wake up and you are not hungry, do not shove food down your mouth. If you wake up hungry, then eat. Your body gives you signals all the time; listen to them! [33:00] Always Choose To Focus What Is Within Your Control 80% you can control; 20% you can’t control. You can control your choices and what you put into your mouth. Also, you can choose what products you put on your body. Make sure you limit down your exposure to toxins. If you try to be perfect, you're just going to be at a standstill. [36:00] Say Yes To Berberine: Incredible Health Benefits of This Supplement Berberine works like Metformin. The supplement will squish the highs and lows of your blood sugar. Also, berberine has beneficial effects on the gut microbiota. Lastly, berberine is beneficial to the GI tract. [40:15] Dr. Amie Gives You Action Steps To Take Right Now Get a full thyroid panel and look at it from a functional lens. Eat a keto diet and fast. Lastly, get restful sleep. It’s the foundation of health! AND MUCH MORE!

The most serious issues in modern society revolve around our eating habits and stress. -       Always eating high-glucose food will lead to the development of hyperemia and insulin resistance. -       Every time we eat, we raise our insulin levels slightly. So, if you snack and graze for hours daily, you constantly overload your system with insulin drops. [20:29] Don’t Want To Add Fuel To The Fire? Reduce Your Carbohydrate Consumption -        Glucose, the simple sugar itself, is a hundred percent dependent on insulin to get into ourselves and provide our body with fuel. -       The more carbs and sugar you eat, the more insulin you’re going to produce in response -       Protein has many functions in the body, so there’s minimal insulin response when it comes to eating protein. -       Insulin response in dietary fat is negligible. -        To prevent this disease from happening or getting worse, minimize carbohydrate intake and start a ketogenic diet.  [25:10]  The Negative Effects Of Storing Too Much Energy In Your Body -       Accessing that stored energy in your fat is a huge pain. And then the fat cells accumulate, which is not good for your health. -       Our cells are always at capacity when constantly eating these carbs. -       It becomes toxic when you’re always full of energy in cells. [35:55]  Good Stress And Exercising: What Is The Difference? -       When you’re fasting, you activate the sympathetic nervous system, which is the fight or flight nervous system. -       We just want to find the right amount of stress that challenges our bodies. - It’s about finding a balance. [40:36] What Is C-Peptide And the benefits of Measuring It? -        C peptides are manufactured by beta cells, and beta cells are the insulin-producing cells in our pancreas. -       People who follow a ketogenic diet and regularly fast have low insulin advancement. -       We would check fasting insulin and C peptides every time to get more of an indicator of the pancreas and its flexibility. [43:40] The Positive and Negative Effects of Having Low Levels of Insulin -       A Longer ketogenic diet is not that problematic for men. -       Most people inadvertently spike their insulin levels because of the state of society and our relationship with food. -       Megan encourages carb cycling a few times a week for hormonal benefits -       It’s okay for women expecting a baby to eat fewer carbs during the first couple weeks of their cycle. Still, those carbs can be good for progesterone in the second half of the cycle. [51:43] False Studies And Misconceptions About Fasting You’ll Need To Avoid -       When reading a study, you’ll need to look at the methodology and parameters used. -       False Studies usually look at forms of time-restricted eating, but the controls are not very good. -       Studies that say fasting does not work don’t have controls, and the assessment of the population being tested is not there. [57:15] Insulin-resistant and metabolically healthy Patient: What Is The Result? -       Patients who do 36 hours of fasting three times don’t have loose skin. Furthermore, their skin tags are going away, and their scars are improving. -       Those who do 20 to 24-hour fast have loose skin. -       People with insulin resistance start with a minimum of the 36-hour protocol.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Nina Teicholz. She is an investigative science journalist and leader in nutrition reporting who is challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–particularly, whether saturated fat causes heart disease and whether fat really makes you fat.  The New York Times bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise. Teicholz also serves as Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition, an independent non-profit group that promotes evidence-based nutrition policy. She is one of a new generation of researchers arguing that diets lower in carbohydrates are a scientifically sound approach for reversing nutrition-related diseases. For more than half a century, we’ve been told to eat a diet high in grains, low in fat, saturated fat (and cholesterol), but the last two decades of research have led a growing number of scientists  to conclude that this diet, despite being rigorously tested, could never be shown to prevent any kind of disease. Teicholz’s work also explains why this diet has remained official policy for so long: the roles played by crusading scientists, the food industry, and more. In this episode, Nina opens the show by explaining her obsession with studying fat. Nina realized that people were afraid to talk about fat because the food industry was pushing their agenda. Nina explains what was wrong in the 1950s, leading most people to believe that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease. Later, we talk about why the American Heart Association gets so many health facts wrong. Tune in as Nina busts common myths around red meat and who is really pushing vegan and vegetarian diets.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [03:00] Why Nina Became Obsessed With Studying Fats Nina was assigned to write a story on trans-fat. During her research, Nina came across studies pointing out the flaws in a low-fat diet. However, so many scientists at universities were terrified to talk to Nina about fat. Why? Because people in the food industry were paid to give scientists a hard time. Nina realized there was something really wrong going on here that had such enormous implications. Nutrition science from the very beginning has been heavily influenced by the food industry. For instance, the vegetable oil industry wanted to go after people for attacking vegetable oils in any way. You see the same tactics happening today on social media.  [08:55] Polyunsaturated Fats vs. Saturated Fats vs. Monounsaturated Fats Fatty acids are long carbon chains.  Poly means many. Polyunsaturated fats have many double bonds. Each time there's a double bond in the chain, it kinks the chain. Some examples of polyunsaturated fats: Corn oil Safflower oil Sunflower oil Canola oil     Monounsaturated fats are the same carbon chain but with one double bond. If you want to use oil, it’s better to use olive oil because it only has one double bond. Saturated means that the carbon chain is statured with hydrogen, and there is no double bond. It is a flat chain, and it makes a solid like butter. Saturated fats are actually the best for cooking, and they're the healthiest for eating because they do not oxidize or cause inflammation. [17:55] What Went Wrong In The 1950s With Ancel Keys and President Eisenhower The idea that fat, cholesterol, and animal foods are bad for health began in the 1950s.  The US was really in a panic over the rising tide of heart disease, which had been virtually nonexistent in the early 1900s. In the 1930s, heart disease became the number one killer.  A panic started when President Eisenhower himself had a heart attack in 1955. Eisenhower’s doctor was convinced by Ancel Keys that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease.  Plus, Ancel Keys got his ideas adopted by the American Heart Association.  Ancel came out with a statement saying to avoid saturated fat and cholesterol in order to prevent heart attacks. We are still dealing with this in 2021.  [23:00] Why Are Seed Oils Approved by the American Heart Association?  How is it possible for the American Heart Association to continue to ignore so much scientific literature? More than 20 papers published in the field have concluded that we got it wrong on saturated fats.  There is no data to justify the authorities' limits on these seed oils. It’s challenging to trust the government with our health when they recommend seed oils. [31:00] Sorry Vegans, Meat-Eating Is Healthy For Humans  Nina did not know how controversial red meat was until she put a picture of it on the cover of her book.  Sadly, many people think that if you eat meat, you're a bad person, you don't believe in climate change, and you're not doing your part to protect the climate. There's this moral revulsion that has been created against meat. Influencers in the spheres of science and public health have vilified one of the healthiest foods on the planet.  Meat was developed by humans in order to have a convenient and cheap source of protein. [33:15] Myth: Meat Causes Diabetes   Diabetes is caused by elevated blood sugars. Sugar causes elevated blood sugars, so do carbs.  Where's the sugar in meat? It's just nonexistent.  It's impossible that meat would cause diabetes. Red meat consumption has gone down around 28% since 1970. Whereas, diabetes has skyrocketed out of control.  [34:15] Myth: Red Meat Causes Colorectal Cancer The WHO decided that red meat and processed meats cause colorectal cancer. This decision was based on these kinds of weak science called epidemiological or observational studies that show associations instead of causation. The data they used was self-reported dietary data, and we all lie about what we eat. There needs to be a more significant discussion about the bias against red meat. [38:30] Why People Are Pushing Vegetarian and Vegan Diets The animal rights movement does not want people eating animals. The Seventh Day Adventist Church has a religious belief that people should eat a vegan diet.Plus, the food industry has an enormous investment in plant-based foods. Also, many companies want to hop on the climate change bandwagon.  Many vegan burgers have vegetable oils that are not healthy.  [41:30] Myth: There’s a Correlation Between Red Meat Consumption and Heart Disease The original reason that red meat was thought to cause heart disease was based the fact that it contains saturated fat and cholesterol. However, research shows that saturated fat and cholesterol do not cause heart disease.  Therefore, foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol don't cause heart disease. The correlation between saturated fat, cholesterol, and heart disease has been more rigorously and extensively studied than almost any other scientific question in the history of nutrition science.  [47:15] Which To Cut First: Smoking Cigarettes, Processed Sugars, or Vegetable Oils  People smoked historically for hundreds of years tobacco, but they did not get cancer or heart disease until the introduction of sugar.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Amanda Gilbert. One of Amanda's high school teachers led her in meditation. This particular homeschool in the middle of West Virginia focused on search and rescue and outdoor survival skills, but it was also a special high school that included South American wisdom and philosophy because its founder visited indigenous cultures in South America and brought the wisdom of the four winds to the high school curriculum that he developed and then implemented. At this high school, Amanda spent the majority of the mornings working with a teacher who helped her focus on the present moment. Early in her 20s, Amanda kept hearing about meditation, so she decided to include it in her college undergraduate program. She was frequently given meditation books. Whayout made Amanda become a consistent meditator and a serious meditator was on the heels of a difficult early adulthood life moment.  Amanda was aware that the key to any healing process was meditation. She then went in pursuit of her first meditation teachers, committed herself to daily meditation for a few hours, and started working as a clinical researcher on meditation and mindfulness at the University of California, San Francisco. After that, Amanda became a meditation teacher, and most recently, a professor of mindfulness at USC. In this episode, Amanda Gilbert dives into understanding meditation and mindfulness. She shares some advice on how you can practice meditation and mindfulness, as well as how you can show love and compassion in this world full of selfishness, judgement, and hatred. Amanda will also share how you can deal with impostor syndrome and practice gratitude, and its impact on your life.  Register your FREE spot for the next 7 day keto kickstart challenge with Dr Jason Fung, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Annette Boz and many others: http://www.ketokampchallenge.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.

Meditation as an anti-aging tool! Dr Elissa Epel's research focuses on stress reduction and stress management, including mindfulness and meditation and how these affect our cellular aging biomarkers like telomeres and telomerase. Meditation and mindfulness actually helped produce more telomerase at times in the body, which helped build back the length of our telomeres. Overall, our cell health and our cell aging are largely helped by spending time in meditation. The meditation retreat is well worth your time for your mental health and emotional health and overall psychological well-being. [13:40] A strong distinction between defining meditation and mindfulness Meditation is the active practice and training that we engage with in a consistent way, where we are working with our muscle of mindfulness in the mind. It is a training for our brain's attention, that helps us grow our ability to hold our brain's attention in the present moment.  Mindfulness is having our attention in the present moment, moment to moment, in a non-judgmental and kind-hearted way.  Mindfulness is something that we can always be practicing out in the midst of our daily lives. The first step to any change that we want in our lives always begins with awareness, meditation, and mindfulness. [23:52] The classical teachings of the Brahma vihara: Loving-kindness, Compassion, Appreciative joy, and Equanimity When we start to be able to notice these different aspects of ourselves, bringing mindfulness to our mind, bringing mindfulness to our emotions, being able to say with our experience in the present moment, what is helpful is also incorporating the heart in the heart practices.  These four classical teachings of the heart, help us in navigating the inevitable stickiness, the inevitable experience of wanting to judge our minds, judge our emotions, etc. When we add in kindness and compassion as a modern-day meditator, our whole world starts to transform. [28:11] How can you show love and compassion? Be honest with the actual, palpable felt sense experience of this is what judgment feels like in your body. This is what anger feels like in your body. When we're judging, when we're angry, when we are in the frequency of hate, that's all pointed outwards, that is an external experience. Our awareness is completely anchored outwards. By bringing our awareness back and saying, how does my body feel right now, that starts to point the awareness back inwards, and we can realize this is not making us feel good. Instead of moving into judgment, or hatred, you can move into compassion or kindness or simply choose to disengage and not perpetuate that heart out in the world. What we develop and cultivate on the inside is most definitely what is transmitted and exuded on the outside through our responses or our reactions. [40:29] Compassion in itself is a direct antidote to Impostor Syndrome When we're suffering from imposter syndrome, we experience a lot of self-criticisms and the judgment mind is probably very active since we're comparing ourselves to others. Compassion is how we start to get into those pathways of judgment mind and introduce something else.  You can start to move down a different path the moment you meet yourself with compassion, even if it's just through acknowledgement and recognition. [45:23] Gratitude: The quickest way back to happiness and joy Gratitude is a direct antidote to not being contented or aware of where we are actually supported in our lives.  Gratitude shifts us often from a negative mindset or negativity bias that we are all primed with as human beings. It moves us back into a growth mindset, it moves us back into a state of greater contentedness, ease, appreciation, and happiness.  Start to challenge yourself to think of 33 reasons that you're grateful for. By the time you reach 33, you are in a different mindset, you are in a different frequency and vibration, and you are rooted back in appreciation. AND MUCH MORE!

He had this sneaky suspicion that better food and exercise could lead to better outcomes. So, Robb was interested in health at an early age. He was a California State powerlifting champion and got into Thai boxing and jujitsu pretty early on. It led to an undergrad in biochemistry, and then he was looking at either medical school or the research track. In college, Robb was experimenting with his diet. He was tinkering with a low-fat, high-carb vegan diet. Robb ended up making himself very sick. On his vegan diet, Robb was on a blood sugar roller coaster all the time, he had all these gut issues, and his depression was in pretty rough shape. Eventually, he changed over to a paleo diet, and it saved his life. [08:30] Spoiler Alert: Not Everyone Knows What They Are Talking About on The Internet If you’re new to eating a raw diet or keto, you need to know the basics. Paleo, keto, and carnivore all revolve around protein. Providing nuance can be confusing when starting a new lifestyle. It’s valuable to look at a variety of different people when finding advice on the internet. Learn from people who have had success in their lifestyle and are flexible. Remember, when starting a new lifestyle, it should be simple. [14:45] Are You Having A Hard Time With Keto? Robb Wolf Explains Why A lot of the problems that people experience is just inadequate sodium intake. If you keep your electrolytes up, you can often subside cravings. Keto can be a train wreck if you are a high-intensity athlete. On hard training days, you may or may remain in ketosis despite eating 200 grams of carbohydrate per day. [19:40] It’s Critical To Keep Your Electrolytes Up To Help With Sugar Cravings You need adequate sodium. Otherwise, you may suffer from lethargy and fatigue. If you are fairly active and live in a hot, humid environment, your base level of sodium intake needs to be higher than what you probably think. If you’re eating a minimally processed diet, then a lot of your food doesn’t come with salt. You need to add salt to your diet or make sure salt is included in your foods. If you have an electrolyte imbalance, it can feel like you’re hungover. [22:35] Drink LMNT: A Tasty Electrolyte Drink Mix With Everything You Need Get your LMNT electrolytes here:  DrinkLMNT.com/KetoKamp (free sampler pack with all orders)  Robb created an electrolyte drink mix that is formulated to help anyone with their electrolyte needs. They are perfectly suited to folks following a keto, low-carb, or paleo diet. The mixes contain an ideal ratio: 1000 mg sodium 200 mg potassium 60 mg magnesium [27:15] Are You Overdoing It With Electrolytes? Here’s What You Need To Know   The first and most common thing if people really overdo electrolytes is disaster pants. If you’re attached to the bathroom, then you might be overdoing it on electrolytes. The Japanese culture has traditionally consumed ten to fifteen grams of sodium per day as part of their diet. The average intake in the United States is recommended to be below two grams of sodium. Sodium isn’t a potentially dangerous element to the diet. Overall, keto reduces blood pressure in most people, and fasting reduces blood pressure in everyone. [30:55] Scientists Masterfully Crafted Chips To Make Them Hyperpalatable There's this new product called the Dorito Roulette. All of the Doritos are hot, but they vary in heat. Some of them are mildly hot, medium, and then one random chip that will burn your face off hot. The scientists understand palate fatigue and novelty at a super high level. How do you get people to eat more food? Well, you need some sort of randomness of exposure. Also, you need an anticipated but unpredictable, intense experience. Smart scientists understand how the brain works, and they're using it against us to make a big profit. [36:30] Robb Wolf Talks About His 7-Day Carb Test Choose a test carb from the list in Wired To Eat. Or find 50g of effective carbs or another carb source. Get Wired To Eat: https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Eat-Cravings-Appetite-Determine/dp/0451498569/benazadi-20 With the carb test, you can determine if carbs are a great option for your lifestyle. Some people have to be really smart and mindful about which carbs they are eating. When people start lifting weight, they become more metabolically flexible. Then, they can go back and retest their carbs. Learn more about the 7-Day Carb Test: https://robbwolf.com/wiredtoeat/7daycarbtest/ [41:55] Should You Try Time-Restricted Eating? What Are The Benefits? Time-restricted eating can be a wonderful tool for inducing calorie control. Some people will respond well to eating anything between 10 am and 5 pm. Eventually, they’ll start to get healthier and make better food choices. We all know that somebody who exercises and eats healthy is shockingly healthier than an obese sedentary individual. Robb is not sold that a lean and healthy individual can gain a lot of benefits from fasting.

People require symbols that will connect them to something. Nowadays, people treat themselves more like an amusement park or a Yugo than a temple, equating to a holy body or a Ferrari.  [15:00 The Cell Membrane LOVES Healthy Fats If a person is taught something from birth, their brain will remember it as true. As research into plant oils and sugar continues, the old scientific belief that plant oils are better than sugar because they lower cholesterol and make you healthier is disproven. Ketosis entails eating plants less frequently, which aids in the elimination of excess fat and the reduction of inflation.  [22:21] Symptoms Are A Gift From Your Innate Intelligence Some diets, such as Ketosis, can be compared to addictions because there are withdrawal symptoms, and people sometimes feel better when they follow a specific diet.  People are unique, and not everyone's body and diet requirements are the same; figure out what works best for you. Nothing is the leading symptom of everything; this is true because a single symptom can appear on multiple diseases.  [34:36] Understanding The Importance of Glycans in Red Blood Cells  Glycans in red blood cells determine a person's blood type. People with different blood types are more susceptible to different antigens and glycans. Skin and blood tests can help identify what a person allergic to certain glycans should avoid.   [42:31] Fertility Issues: What You Need to Know About and How Can You Prevent It Diseases that could potentially harm people are becoming more common as a result of the various toxins that are introduced to us in our daily routine, which affect different parts of our body and also affects a child before it is born. To reduce your exposure to harmful toxins, it is critical to understand the components of everything you consume. AND MUCH MORE!

Senescence is a Latin term derived from cynics that simply means to age. As a cell matures and goes through senescence, that's what's known as cellular senescence. The core of aging occurs when cells within our bodies cease dividing and just stay within the body; this is known as senescence cells. [17:20] Tips To Prevent Senescence Cells and Keep Cells Healthy Free radicals can cause senescence cells. Increasing NAD levels would aid in support of mitochondrial pathways, ensuring the health of cells. You want to make sure that when cells are harmed, they have the ability to repair themselves. Consuming too much alcohol and eating too many fried meals can all contribute to damaged cells, which subsequently initiate the body's senescence cell mode. [28:06] The Health Benefits of Stress! A little amount of stress is beneficial to us since it will be the cause to move you into action. Cold plunges are also helpful because they create resiliency on every level of the body. Apart from stress and cold plunges, adaptogens also create resilience. It is like a buffer in the external world. [31:32] Fasting Is Critical To Let Your Body Heal And Reset From This Toxic World Fasting is one of the lifestyles that support cellular senescence. Fasting stimulates Autophagy. Thus it can help prevent senescence cells. With the toxic world we live in, fasting is critical to let our body reset and do its normal functions. Fasting, in general, is most suited to big heavyset body types. [38:24] Do This to Boost Your Mental Function Qualia Resilience Supplement is a stress formula that doesn't inhibit motivation.  Its purpose is to elevate mental function as well as buffered the effects of stress. You can do the regimen for five days on and then take a break on weekends. This will give you more freedom.  It is not intended to knock you out in order to encourage deep sleep. It's designed to provide you with adaptogenic chemicals that normalize physiology needed later in the evening. And that's exactly what it's intended for; it's mostly a nocturnal adaptogen; I wouldn't advocate using adaptogens in the afternoon. [47:40] How to Build a Bulletproof Immune System Immune cells, like all other cells in the body, ultimately die. And as these immune cells age, your immune function declines over time. As a result, part of the immune cell function and purpose in the body is to monitor the body for these senescent cells and subsequently remove and eradicate them.  Beta-glucans can help your body build immunity. You may start small and gradually increase your immune intelligence so that when you have any environmental exposure, your body is ready to respond in a healthy, intelligent manner.

Today, I am blessed to have you here with me Chris Irvin. He is a researcher of health and an educator whose sole focus is on low-carb and keto diets and their effects on health and human performance. He is also a writer and the author of Keto Answers, Mommy Do I Have to Eat This?  💻 4 Secrets to Keto Masterclass: https://www.ketokamp.com/keto-masterclass-1 Chris and I first connected online and did a podcast. The first time we ever met in person was during KetoCon.  Chris is also a player of basketball and he often plays two to three times a week. He mentioned that exercise should be something that you enjoy doing, rather than being a punishment. As he plays basketball, it is usually equivalent to five to six miles of working which is already considered a high-intensity workout. If this was running, he wouldn't be able to enjoy it and he'll most likely quit once he is tired. In this episode, the podcast started about sports and exercise. Chris eventually discussed the Keto diet and its current state of popularity. He also talks about the benefits and importance of Keto. The difference between fat and keto adaptations was also discussed in this episode.

Exercise should be something you enjoy doing, instead of being a punishment. When you do something you enjoy for exercise, you'll be able to get anywhere. It may even be a high-intensity style of training. When you do an exercise that you do not enjoy, you will push yourself up to the limit and stop once you’re tired. [10:26] Is there a decrease in Keto's popularity as a diet? Keto or Ketogenic diet has been cyclical over the last five years. In Google trends, it often maxes out at some time of the year and would decrease on the rest of the year. Some people only use Keto as a tool to achieve a certain goal. They would transition to another diet once that goal is reached. In 2018, Keto was popular and people, influencers, and companies were leaning into it.  Some influencers who were into Keto before are no longer promoting and doing the Keto diet. [14:30] How Does Keto Diet Help a Person? Keto is a great way to get into when you are trying to lose weight. The presence of the weight loss process is better than not having it.  You don't need to be on a Keto diet 24/7.  When you know about the metabolic processes and the things that happen with Keto, you'll realize that being on a Keto diet from time to time will provide tons of benefits – both short and long-term. [18:05] How Long Should a Person Be In Ketosis? Metabolic health is important. It can be considered a center of health in general. If you are trying to improve your metabolic markers, try to follow Keto Diet for 30 days and get your blood work after. If you see some improvements, you can continue the diet or you can also transition to Low Carb diet.  You can also try to continue the Keto diet until you reach the desired metabolic markers. However, if you aren't feeling great, then you must switch to another diet. [25:36] The Difference Between Fat & Keto Adaptation and their effects on the Body Keto and Fat adaptation are often used interchangeably. However, there's a difference between them, especially in how it processes in the body. If you are fat-adapted, you have low blood sugar and insulin which enables you to burn fat. When you're burning fat, you are releasing stored fatty acids from your fat cells into the bloodstream and using them for energy. In Keto adaptation, you are using Ketones as an energy source.  Brains are the best users of Ketones. The body often preserves Ketones for the Brain to use as an energy source. [31:30] What are the Benefits of Getting Keto Adapted? Oftentimes, people will experience benefits and effects after weeks of Keto Adaptation. However, it varies from person to person depending on where you're coming from. Some problems encountered in Keto adaptation include stopping it after achieving your desired weight. Most people who decided to continue despite reaching their goals are experiencing a new level of benefits. [45:52] Metabolic Health Should Be Your Main Focus Metabolic Health isn’t just focused on the diet. It is also about exercise, sleep, stress management, and more. It is more than just being Keto or Carbs. To change and improve your Metabolic Health, you change your behaviors, and mindset, and be able to become consistent. AND MUCH MORE!
