Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Rebecca Warren. She is a Functional Wellness Practitioner and Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in women’s sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and healing after thyroidectomy. At 19, Dr. Rebecca was diagnosed with Follicular Variant Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and had a complete thyroidectomy with high dose radiation- all of which was completely unnecessary. But she didn’t know what else to do. After having her thyroid removed, she suffered from hormone issues that Doctors would write off because all her labs looked “normal.” She suffered from depression, anxiety, weight loss resistance, and period issues with no help on how to get better. It wasn’t until she decided to draw a line in the sand that no doctor would know more about her body than she did; her health transformed. She has spent the past decade and a half studying the literature, implementing protocols, using the most up-to-date functional labs and testing, and ancestral tools (like fasting and diet variation) to not only take back her health but to help thousands of men and women to do the same. Her goal is to help people avoid her unnecessary suffering and help those that may be on a hopeless path right now. Dr. Rebecca practices with her husband in Chattanooga, TN, and does virtual coaching worldwide. Their approach is simple but powerful: get to the cause, support the body, and trust and know that the body was created to heal itself. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca opens the show by discussing the inspiration behind her podcast, The Thyroidless Life. Then, Dr. Rebecca dives deep into everything you need to know about thyroid health. Dr. Rebecca explains why one autoimmune disease will most likely lead to another one down the road. Plus, Dr. Rebecca speculates why COVID and the COVID vaccinations could worsen your thyroid problems. Tune in as we chat about liver health, repairing your thyroid problems, and getting your Hashimoto's under control.

Whether you have a thyroid or not, thyroid healing and hormone balancing is a lifetime practice. The Thyroidless Life Podcast is a podcast about detoxing and fasting for hormone health. Rebecca wishes she had this information 17 years ago. Listen to the podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-thyroidless-life/id1623271333 [03:10] Why One Autoimmune Disease Will Lead to Another An autoimmune issue is systemic, and it comes from an immune imbalance. Rebecca specializes in the thyroid; over 90% of thyroid disorders, whether you're hyper or hypo is an autoimmune disorders. When you have an autoimmune disorder, you get a name for it, like Hashimotos. You don’t just have a thyroid issue; you have a whole body issue. When you have one autoimmune disorder in your body, you're three times as likely to develop another. [06:50] Are the COVID Vaccines Leading To Thyroid Issues?  You must ensure you've got the nutrition down; that's foundational. When your adrenals are good, then you have to start detoxing. Rebecca implores everyone to look at what's happened with their health in the last two and a half years. Having the COVID virus can create a thyroid storm and a thyroid issue. Two or three COVID vaccinations are also leading to thyroid issues. [16:00] The Thyroid Tests to Ask Your Doctor For As Soon As Possible You need a full wellness panel. First, look at your C-reactive protein. Also, make sure you know your fasting insulin and homocysteine. Homocysteine levels that are trending high mean there will be a methylation issue. When looking at thyroid, you need to do the full panel. Above all, make sure you know your Reverse T3. TSI, TPO, and thyroid globulin antibodies are also essential. Get these numbers done every single year; if they start to rise, you need to do something about it. [20:40] T4 & T3 Replacement Hormones to Repair Your Thyroid Problems If your doctor doesn’t want to order panels, then find someone who will. When your panels come back and things don’t look right, you may need to use grass-fed glandular. Grass-fed glandulars can help strengthen your thyroid and give you the needed hormones. Utilizing clean meds can help you get your head above water. Rebecca recommends WP Thyroid: https://wpthyroid.com/ You may also need Nature-Throid: https://www.naturethroid.com/ [27:30] Symptom Relief: Ketosis Will Give Your Thyroid a Break!  One of the great ways that ketosis can help is by creating ketone bodies for energy. Fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, and weight loss resistance are related to your thyroid hormones. When you get into ketosis, many of these symptoms will go away. Ketosis will give your thyroid a break! [36:40] Hashimotos Can Cause Thyroid Tissue Destruction, but You Can Get It Under Control You can have thyroid antibodies, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have thyroid tissue destruction. You want to decrease your markers as much as you can. The problem that happens with Hashimotos is thyroid tissue destruction. When there is an attack, you’re going to have more symptoms. You need to get the trigger under control. Then, do things that increase healthy cell growth. [46:20] What's the Relationship Between Liver and Thyroid Health? What's happening in the liver? Not only will it affect how many active hormones are available, but it will also determine how much Reverse T3 you're making. A healthy liver that's clearing out that's able to convert will be vitally important. The liver is going to help you detox. Your body knows what to do; however, we can’t ignore how toxic our world is these days. AND MUCH MORE! Resources from this episode: Check out Check out Drs.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe and Rachel. They are happily married with three wonderful boys: John Paul, Anthony, and Caleb. After years of trying every type of weight loss plan you can think of, from severe calorie restriction to CrossFit, they decided to try the ketogenic lifestyle. Thankful for the opportunity to look forward to a happy and healthy future with their three adult sons, Joe and Rachel are excited to share their keto journey and hopefully encourage other families to change their diet and change their lives. After discovering the keto diet in 2017 and experiencing life-changing health results, Joe and Rachel made it their mission to share their testimony with as many people as possible. Their great hope is to encourage others who have experienced lifelong weight struggles and medical concerns. It is a game changer for their family to learn first-hand that diagnoses like morbid obesity, diabetes, arthritis, digestive issues, and chronic pain don’t have to be a life sentence. Joe and Rachel want you and your family to experience improved health.  In this episode, Rachel and Joe open the show by speaking about their past health problems, including a lifetime of obesity, chronic pain, arthritis, acne, plantar fasciitis, and migraines. After trying a ketogenic lifestyle, Rachel and Joe stopped their symptoms and completely changed their health and mental wellbeing. You’ll hear Rachel and Joe give tips on getting your significant other to try a ketogenic lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about the importance of self-love and the inspiration behind Joe and Rachel’s YouTube channel, 2 Krazy Ketos. Check out their videos here: https://www.youtube.com/c/2krazyketos.  Register for my upcoming 90 day detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

One day, Joe decided to look into keto.  After trying keto, Joe immediately dropped twenty pounds in the first month.  Joe lost eighty pounds after six months of keto.  Plus, Joe no longer needed to take painkillers and arthritis pills on the keto diet.  [06:20] Dieting for Decades: The Keto Lifestyle Is a Game-Changer for Rachel  Rachel had been obese her entire life, and she had been dieting for decades. It was challenging for Rachel to make friends; she was teased a lot at school.  Rachel thought the only way to maintain success was calorie restriction.  Eventually, Rachel reduced her calories to 500 a day. Once Rachel tried keto, her plantar fasciitis, migraines, and acne were all gone. Plus, she finally had sustainable weight loss.  [12:55] Struggling With Emotional Battles and Working On Self-Love  Joe still looks in the mirror and sees the 300-pound Joe. One thing Joe tells himself is that the scale is the devil and the mirror is a liar.  Even after losing weight, Joe has an emotional battle when he looks in the mirror.  After decades of being so hard on ourselves, we have to do strength training in positivity. We falsely believe that we can love others and just skip that step of loving ourselves. In reality, we need to put energy into loving ourselves.  [18:00] How to Get Your Significant Other on Board With a Ketogenic Lifestyle   People don’t get on board with keto because they think it’s another fad diet.  Don’t try and push your significant other. Instead, lead by example. Make sure to come from a place of love.  Joe was passionate about keto, so he cooked all the meals. That way, Rachel would jump on board. People must come on board when they are ready for keto. Otherwise, the lifestyle will never work.  [33:05] Looking for Support? Find Community With 2 Krazy Ketos  Joe and Rachel wanted to devise a way to talk to one another without bringing up the children.  So, Joe wanted to start a YouTube channel.  They make YouTube videos about what they eat and how they lost weight with keto. Eventually, Joe and Rachel started a community space, and they love facilitating community wherever they go.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for the THIRD time Dr. Will Cole. He is a leading functional-medicine expert, consults people around the world via webcam and locally in Pittsburgh. This is a REPEAT EPISODE from May 2021. He specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing health programs for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal dysfunctions, digestive disorders, and brain problems. Dr. Cole was named one of the top 50 functional-medicine and integrative doctors in the nation and is a health expert and course instructor for the world’s largest wellness brands such as mindbodygreen and goop. In this episode, Dr. Cole opens the show explaining the meaning behind intuitive fasting. If you’re not metabolically flexible, fasting will be anything but intuitive. However, when you are finally metabolically flexible, you will intuitively fast and eat. Dr. Cole explains why he’s such a massive fan of fasting for overall health and the ways fasting will help heal your gut. Later, Dr. Cole answers common questions regarding fasting, like if it will help you lose weight and why you can’t fast when you’re eating a poor diet. Tune in as we chat about our favorite supplements for fasting and how tea can be beneficial on your health journey.

But the truth is, our daily eating schedule—three meals a day, plus snacks—does not necessarily reflect our bodies’ natural cycles. Cole’s book is all about intuitive fasting. However, fasting will be anything but intuitive when you're metabolically inflexible. Instead, the book is a conversation about showing up for yourself to become metabolically flexible. When you are finally metabolically flexible, you will intuitively fast and eat. You can mindfully use intermittent fasting to gain metabolic flexibility so you can hear what your body truly loves.   [05:25] Why Dr. Cole Is A Huge Fan Of Fasting For His Health Fasting is an amazing tool, and it's completely free. Plus, fasting is something that it's actually encoded in our DNA. Researchers estimate that our genetics haven't changed in 10,000 years. Your body is made to do so much. It’s time to wake up the body's ability to heal itself and wake up the body's ability to calm inflammation. Sadly, we are living so out of alignment with our biochemistry that we put a lot of our body's healing capacity just to sleep. Fasting is a matter of letting our bodies remember what we were born with. Overall, fasting is an amazing tool that clinically really improves people's labs. [09:25] How Fasting Can Actually Heal Your Gut + Reset Your Digestive System Your microbiome is actually repairing through the night and recalibrating through the night. When you fast, it is calming down the inflammatory cascades that are going on. Also, fasting doesn’t mean that you are cutting calories. Instead, you're eating the same number of foods, you're just eating in specific windows to give your body a little bit more of a fasting time than you normally would. The more often you can fast, you're going to be able to regenerate and repair the gut in a big way. Digesting food requires a lot of energy; so, you're giving your gut a break to not work on digesting food. [13:45] What Food Freedom Means To Dr. Cole Food peace is going longer without eating, not because it's restrictive - but because you can do it, and you feel great doing it. Also, food peace means you can break the fast when you want to. Intuitive fasting can be scary; it can be triggering for people that are addicted to food. Just because something's common doesn't necessarily mean it's normal – most people in the United States have a massive blood sugar problem. The traditional way that American’s live their lives are, in many ways, self-harm; it's not self-respect at all. Food freedom is integrating things in your life that make you feel great. [17:55] The Combination Of Keto And Fasting Is A Total Game-Changer You can’t fast your way out of a poor diet. Dr. Cole doesn’t advocate for people to have these extreme approaches to fasting, where it's like an eating disorder disguised as a wellness practice. Fasting should be a tool that can actually heal your relationship with food, heal your relationship with your body, and actually heal your body. If you look at a lot of the research on intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet, you're going to see similar pathways explored because they're both supporting beta-Hydroxybutyrate. Keto is nutrient-dense and calorically rich foods that are very satiating and nourishing; it's going to make your intermittent fasting window easier. [24:00] Can You Teach Me How To Use Fasting To Lose Weight? Many people hear that fasting is connected with weight loss. However, it's essential to realize that fasting is the body repairing things. If you want to fast to lose weight, you need to shift your mindset. Instead, you have to get healthy to lose weight, not the other way around. Fasting has a lot more benefits than weight loss – you should be more excited about those aspects of fasting. [28:05] Dr. Cole Reveals His Favorite Supplements For Fasting Cole is a fan of having coffee and tea while he fasts. Earl Grey tea has been shown to support our autophagy pathways. The main supplement you’ll want when fasting is electrolytes. Again, you can’t fast your way out of a poor diet. If you’re eating clean foods, you may not need those electrolytes. However, optimizing your electrolytes is something to consider. One of Dr. Cole’s favorites is LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/pages/robb-wolf [35:20] News Flash! You’re Not A Failure If You Cut Your Fast Early When fasting, you need to have flexibility and intuition. If you cut your fast early, it’s not a failure. Instead, it’s a gift that you listened to your body. Changing your fasting plan is part of metabolic flexibility. We think there has to be this rigid plan for fasting to be successful; however, that’s not how life works! [38:05] Stop Comparing Yourself To Other People On Your Health Journey We're all on our own journey with health – stop comparing your journey to another person. We're all created differently, and we're all up against something differently. Obviously, we're learning from other people. However, your path will be different. Communities should be there for insight rather than comparisons. You're on your own journey, you're going to do great, but in your own way. [43:55] The Truth About Autophagy: Are You Getting Too Much While Fasting? Constantly check in with yourself and see how you feel: Are you burnt out? Are you fatigued? Do you feel like you’re starving? As long as you eat enough foods during your eating window, then you should be okay. However, if your body is saying otherwise, then eat!

Todd is a self-described biohacker who practices daily meditation, Wim Hof breathing, cold thermogenesis, a ketogenic diet, and daily 22-hour intermittent fasting. He is also a frequent speaker on topics including meditation and the Dry Farm Wines unique company culture. Built on a foundation of honesty and peace, Dry Farm Wines has seen remarkable growth, making it one of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S., without any debt or investors. Dry Farm Wines is endorsed by many leading U.S. performance influencers with pure Natural Wines that are lab tested to ensure each bottle is sugar-free (0-0.15g per glass), lower in sulfites, and lower in alcohol (under 12.5% alc/vol).

Dry Farm Wines is proud to be the largest Natural Wine merchant in the world, bringing awareness to Natural Wine consumption and supporting farmers who honor the soil.

Several factors that impact your relationship with alcohol - sugar and stress are significant.  After stumbling upon an organic natural wine, Todd did some lab testing on wines. Eventually, Todd started Dry Farm Wines.

Conventional wines are generally 14 to 15% alcohol. Because there is less alcohol in natural wine, it dramatically affects how you feel, your brain health, and your inflammation.  Wine used to be a healthy drink; now, wine is unhealthy.  Multi-billion dollar marketing conglomerates are making wine production cheaper and faster. So, the wines in your typical store are unhealthy and cheaply made.  [26:50] Did You Know That Wine Is the Only Major Food Group Without a Contents Label? Wine is the only major food group without a contents label. There is no content label or nutritional information on the wine.  Sugar is the most widely addictive and abused drug on the planet, leading to chronic illness. The wine industry has spent millions of dollars in lobby money over the years to keep content labeling off of wine because they don't want you to know what's in it. [29:40] Health Leaders Recommend Drinking Tequila; However, It May Not Be the Best Choice Many health leaders recommend tequila as the alcohol of choice if you’re going to drink. Tequila is a distilled spirit that is pure and clean. Plus, it comes from a plant. The problem with tequila is that it is 45% alcohol. Alcohol is not your friend; it has limited benefits in the right dosage in the right way.  The more alcohol you drink, the more likely you will consume even more.   [34:00] Natural Wine Is Always Organic or Biodynamically Grown The most significant hallmark of natural wine is it is always organic or biodynamically grown. Not all organic wines are natural; however, natural wines are always organic.  Drinking organic wine is better than drinking non-organic wine.  Biodynamic farming was developed in 1925 as an advanced form of organic farming.  This type of farming will include harvesting based on the lunar cycle, and they create natural organic potions for the vines.  [38:35] Natural Wine Is Always Fermented With Wild Indigenous Native Yeast The next hallmark of natural wine is that they are always fermented with wild indigenous native yeast.  Commercial wines are always fermented with GMO lab-cultured yeast.  You can't make commercial wines using wild native yeast because the yeast is too unstable, and it won’t work in large volumes. That’s why natural wine growers don’t have brand names; they can’t create enough wine using wild yeast.  [46:15] We Love That Dry Farm Wines Are Sugar-Free and Keto Friendly All Dry Farm Wines are sugar-free.  If you are following the ketogenic lifestyle, Dry Farm Wines suits you!  Plus, Dry Farm Wines test for sulfites. The only way to claim that wine is sugar-free is to test it.  Last year, Todd tested the top 20 best-selling wines in America. Only two of them met the criteria for sugar-free.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Vera Tarman. Dr. Vera Tarman started addictions Unplugged in 2008 because she found a need for information on addiction and, more specifically, food addiction. This is episode was previously aired on April 24th 2021. Today, the Addictions Unplugged website serves as a portal and discussion forum for medical professionals, front-line addiction workers, and those affected by addiction to reach out to Dr. Tarman and find out the latest information on treatment. Dr. Tarman has been reaching out to the medical and addiction communities through her workshops and speaking engagements. She speaks on the topics of the science behind food addiction and why we use food for comfort. She has educated thousands of people across the world and hopes to help all those struggling with food addiction. In this episode, Dr. Vera Tarman reveals how she found the connection between indulging cravings for "comfort food" and engaging in substance abuse. Yes, food can become addictive, and Dr. Vera explains how. Plus, we talk about how to know if you're addicted to food and what steps you can take to face that food addiction. Plus, we go deep into what's happening in our brains when we eat sugar and why scientists make food so addictive.

She sees people coming into a residential setting, they're putting down their alcohol, cocaine, cigarettes, and marijuana. However, they start picking up the sugar. Within two or three weeks, they started to gain a lot of weight. Eating was very much like their previous behavior of addiction. Now, Dr. Vera loves to talk about the addiction that people have with food. Plus, she even wrote a book on the subject – Food Junkies. It’s a fact-filled guide to coping with compulsive overeating problems. Overeating, binge eating, obesity, anorexia, and bulimia – Dr. Vera tackles the poorly understood issue of food addiction in her book. Get Food Junkies: https://www.amazon.ca/Food-Junkies-Recovery-Addiction/dp/1459741978/benazadi-20  [06:05] How Can Food Become Addictive? The inspiration for Food Junkies came from another book, Hooked. Hooked is about the troubling story of how food companies have exploited our most fundamental evolutionary instincts to get us hooked on processed foods. Get Hooked: https://www.amazon.ca/Hooked-Food-Giants-Exploit-Addictions/dp/0771059590/benazadi-20 The food industry has made our food addictive by targeting the chemistry in our brains. Sadly, the food industry has figured out that the reward pathway will keep people coming back for their food. Brilliant scientists are paid good money to figure out how to activate those pathways. [08:50] The Negative Impacts On Your Brain When Consuming Sugars Sugars will light up part of the brain that’s emotional and impulsive. It’s the part of our brain that makes us do things without thought - this is all subconscious thinking. Plus, sugar will trigger dopamine primarily, which is our neurochemical of desire. There's also endorphins and serotonin. Endorphins trigger comfort while serotonin triggers connectedness. Addiction will make you want an entire bag of chips. You can’t stop at one or two because your neural biology is so damaged. The physical manifestations of sugar and high-carb addiction are happening in the brain. [17:00] What You Need To Know About The Different Stages of Food Addiction When we talk about food addiction, it's essentially like diabetes. Food addiction is a chronic and progressive condition. You may have a food addiction if you would rather stay at home and eat instead of going out for a social occasion. If you consistently do not feel well because of the food you eat, you may be suffering from food addiction. Another sign of food addiction is eating foods that you know are not going to make you feel good. If your obsession with food is excessive, then you are a food addict. Lastly, if you are in trouble with your health, then you may be a food addict. “You have to be very careful if you're moving down this path of food addiction.” -Dr. Vera [25:25] Fasting For People With Addictions To Food Cutting out sugar will be the first step for people who have an addiction to food. Sugar is the trigger – so, ditch the trigger! If you have a food addiction, be aware of pitfalls. If you have a history of starving yourself, then fasting may not be the right path. Fasting can be healing; however, it’s a tool that can hurt you if you do not know how to use it. If it’s done carefully, fasting can be great for the body. [30:40] Why Dr. Vera Is A Massive Fan Of Eating More Protein Vera isn’t necessary a fan of protein. Instead, Dr. Vera is a fan of low-carb. Protein and fat will give the body satiety. Most likely, if you are low-carb, then you are eating higher protein. Vera says she doesn’t have a problem with carbs as long as they are not processed. [32:15] It Takes Three To Four Weeks To Kick Your Sugar Addiction It takes about three of four weeks to quit an addiction fully. A connection with a daily coach or sponsor will be critical on your journey. So, find support from someone while kicking your addiction. Keto Kamp is a great community of people who are ready to help you! [40:00] Treatment: Ways To Help When You’re A Food Addict First of all, you have to eat the right food - you have to stop the drug! The first month is going to be difficult. As time goes on, it will get easier and easier. By week four, you will feel free! Lastly, you need to protect yourself from future triggers.

In the past, Larry was morbidly obese and had IBS, bloody gums, bloody stools, severe asthma, allergies, depression, and brain fog. One day, Larry stopped buying bread and pasta. Plus, he threw out the canola oil and did a whole pantry makeover. Larry recommends reading Grain Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/031623480X/benazadi-20. Also, Larry says he learned a lot from Eat Like A Human: https://eatlikeahuman.com/. In total, Larry has lost 120 pounds. [09:25] Both Kay Lynne and Larry Have Benefited From Lifestyle Changes As an elementary school teacher, Kay Lynne ate a lot of processed foods throughout the day. When Larry changed his diet, Kay Lynne followed suit. Larry and Kay Lynne started intermittent fasting organically because they simply weren’t hungry. Kay Lynne’s heaviest weight was 210, and she lost 70 pounds. [16:25] Changing Your Lifestyle Can Make Your Relationships Even Better Larry and Kay Lynne’s relationship got better when they changed their diets. Not being hungry all the time was one of the best benefits of their lifestyle changes. Plus, Larry and Kay Lynne feel more comfortable in their bodies. Weight loss is excellent for a better and more pleasurable experience in your own body. [21:00] Remember That We Are Still Fundamentally Our Ancestors Larry recommends checking out Primal Blueprint: https://www.primalblueprint.com/ Primal Blueprint focuses not just on food but on the whole person. Movement and mindset are also crucial on your journey to health. Sometimes people just try and change their food. Well, there are so many other things you need to consider when becoming healthy. Remember, we are still fundamentally our ancestors. [31:55] The Importance of Feasting and Fasting In Your Lifestyle  The only thing better than fasting is eating, and the only thing better than eating is fasting. Our ancestors enjoyed large full meals. The only thing constant about nature is change. So why shouldn’t we change our diet? You can eat higher real food carbs productively during a feast. Carb cycling is a great way to make sure you don’t plateau. Variation is magic when it comes to your health! [38:05] How To Inspire Your Partner To Make Lifestyle Changes You should lead by example when making lifestyle changes with your spouse. Remember, you can’t control the people around you. Stick to your lifestyle changes and show your partner how much better you feel. Larry’s enthusiasm and consistency motivated Kay Lynne to change her diet and lifestyle. For your journey to success, we all have to know that even our best friend and closest partner is not responsible for what we put in our mouths. We can’t force change; we can serve as an example.
