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. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

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!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Abby Durlewanger. Abby started the Ketogenic lifestyle in 2017 after doing just about every other diet. She was consistently losing weight and then would gain it right back on the weekend. She found it hard to stick other diets because she was always hungry and having cheat meals. She thought she could exercise the pounds away. After weeks of research she finally decided to give Keto a try, but vowed it would only be for 6 weeks. After week 1 and the surge of energy, focus, and results she saw, she was hooked! Abby has lost over 130 lbs and 145 inches. She went from a size 20 to a size 2. From a size 4x to a size Small. While Abby is very passionate about the Ketogenic lifestyle she credits all of her success to the revelation God gave her about stewarding her body. She was able to acknowledge she has a food addiction and was using food to cope with trauma from childhood, depression, and anxiety. It was when she was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression after the birth of her son that she was at her lowest point in life. Feeling suicidal and lost, she had an encounter with her savior, Jesus Christ that changed everything. She now stands firm against her addiction knowing that self-control and discipline is a fruit of the spirit and the more time she spends with God, the better it gets and that “anything that we put before God is out of order, including food.” She now spends her time sharing her family’s faith, ketogenic lifestyle, and helping others get freedom from food addiction. While she loves helping people through her business, she is fully confident that it is not a meal plan or grocery list that is helping people. It is the power of her testimony and encouragement of others to place God first to allow him to meet their needs instead of reliance on “comfort foods.” In this episode, Abby Durlewanger opens up about her journey to health and wellness. She speaks about the inspiration behind House of Keto and why she decided to do a 41-day water fast. Abby explains the reason you may be overeating dietary fat on keto and how you can start using your own body fat instead. Plus, Abby opens up about the spiritual and mental healing that happened to her while fasting. Tune in as we chat about feeding your kids a ketogenic diet and all the 2022 events where you can see Abby talk more about her story. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

However, Abby felt hungry all of the time, and she needed food constantly. Abby’s trainer said to try a keto lifestyle. Within the first week of keto, Abby already felt better. Instead of experiencing the keto flu, Abby felt a surge of energy. For the first time in Abby’s life, she forgot to eat breakfast! She naturally started incorporating fasting into her lifestyle. [06:30] Instead of Eating Dietary Fat, Use Your Body Fat People think that you need to consume a lot of fats in order to be keto. However, the metabolic state of ketosis is not synonymous with weight loss. It’s possible to be in ketosis and gain weight. What are your goals? That will determine what you need to do. If you’re trying to put on muscle, then you’re someone that needs to eat more fat. Children will also need to eat more fat on the ketogenic diet. If you are overweight, the fat from your diet can come from your stored body fat. [11:00] Why Abby Decided To Do A 41-Day Water Fast About two and a half years ago, Abby got diagnosed with a rare breast disease. It looks like breast cancer, acts like breast cancer, and is treated like breast cancer. At the time of her diagnosis, less than 1,000 women in America had this disease. Basically, no one knew what they were looking at, and no one knew what they were doing. They wanted to treat Abby as though she was a cancer patient, but they could not find a cancer cell. Abby was in the worst pain that she had ever been in her entire life. What Abby had was something called idiopathic granuloma mastitis. Eventually, Abby decided to do a water fast to let her body heal itself. Luckily, Abby was able to avoid chemo and avoid getting her breasts removed. [27:20] The Physical and Spiritual Healing That Happens During A Fast Every religion talks about some type of fasting. During her fast, Abby felt like there was nothing she could not do. Fasting helped Abby’s mental health. During the 41-day fast, Abby had an awakening. She saw who she was and how she could contribute to the planet. Now, Abby has loads of confidence; people tell Abby that she seems like a completely new person. [33:45] The Decision To Feed Your Kids A Ketogenic Diet Abby’s children were eating goldfish, syrup, whipped cream, Dr. Pepper, and Tootsie Rolls. One day, Abby watched the movie The Magic Pill: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Pill-Pete-Evans/dp/B078H4J7G1/benazadi-20 After watching the movie, Abby just stopped buying things that were filled with sugar. In the house, Abby established a rule called “meats before treats.” When Abby cooks for herself, she offers the same foods to her kids. Her son went from being non-verbal to putting sentences together a week into keto.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Michael Collins. He has been completely sugar-free for over 30 years. The 8th Annual Quit Sugar Summit! January 24 - 30, 2022. Register for FREE:  https://quitsugarsummit.com?afmc=bv He is past Chairman of the Board of a Food Addiction Institute and current board member, a 501(c) non-profit, that helps raise awareness about processed food and sugar worldwide and is the founder of Sugarfreeman.com, which has been helping thousands successfully quit sugar for over nine years. Michael and his wife raised two children sugar-free from the womb to six years of age. For over 30 years, Michael has worked closely with others to help them regain lives ravaged by various substance use disorders. In this episode, Michael talks about all the reasons why he decided to go entirely sugar-free for over thirty years. He explains why many people are reluctant to call sugar a real addiction. Then, Michael reveals what exactly is going on in the brain when we eat sugar and what happens when we stop eating sugar. Tune in as Michael gives tips for starting a keto lifestyle in the new year, and we chat all about the upcoming Quit Sugar Summit.

When he got sober, he started to use sugar instead of drugs and alcohol. Flour and sugar were just the staples of his diet. One day, Michael read a book called Sugar Blues by William Dufty. You can check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Blues-William-Dufty/dp/0446343129/benazadi-20 Eventually, he started putting out his own information about sugar addiction on the internet. [12:00] Why People Don’t Recognize Sugar As An Addiction People are going blind and losing limbs because of sugar addiction. Some people biochemically cannot ingest sugar. 95% of all people that lose any amount of weight gain it all back and then some in the first year. The word addiction is still stigmatized. So many people are not willing to consider sugar addiction a real thing. [24:00] What Exactly Is Happening In The Brain When We Eat Sugar All of the brain reward chemicals are affected by sugar. In fact, they are manually manipulated by sugar. When you stop eating sugar, your dopamine receptors will be thinned out. If you have a sweet tooth craving, you are looking for a dopamine hit. You can give sugar to a one-year-old, and there are no ethical worries. If you have high-stress events in your day-to-day, maybe you eat sugar as a response. Then it’s time to remove the stressful situation so you can ditch the sugar. [37:15] Caffeine Use Disorder Is Accepted By The Medical Community Caffeine use disorder is actually in the DSM. The medical establishment has seen what happens when people overuse caffeine. So, we still have to fight for people who have sugar use disorder. Science is catching up around sugar addiction, and hopefully, people can get the help they need from the medical community. [41:20] Tips For Making The Transition To Keto In 2022 Keto is going to be hard for about seven to ten days. Most likely, you are not going to feel well. If you have a sugar addiction, you are going to be lethargic, and you are going to be depressed. This is normal because your dopamine is finally getting a rest. However, in the long run, you will have a better mood, you’ll sleep better, and you’ll be able to focus more. [50:15] All About The Quit Sugar Summit 2022 The 8th Annual Quit Sugar Summit is coming up in 2022. It goes through January 24 – 30, 2022. You’ll hear from some amazing speakers like Dr. David Perlmutter, Dr. Richard Johnson, Dr. Nicole Avena, Bitten Jonsson, Cristy “Code Red” Nickel, Ben Azadi, and much more! The diet industry is a $70 billion industry, and no one believes it. At the summit, people are selling nothing. Instead, they are just bringing information to people that need it.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Patrick McKeown. World-renowned author and breathing practitioner Patrick McKeown was educated at Trinity College in Dublin, before completing his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. This training was accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko. From a young age, Patrick suffered from asthma and relied on an array of medicines and inhalers until he discovered the Buteyko Method at the age of 26, experiencing immediate relief from his symptoms. By applying the principals of the Buteyko Method, Patrick remains asthma-free since then, a feat that over 20 years of medication had failed to accomplish. In a career spanning 15 years, Patrick has since also become a bestselling author and expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health, wellbeing, and fitness. In this episode, Patrick talks about how crowded teeth can be a problem for breathing. Then, we discuss the main issues that can develop with chronic mouth breathers. Patrick dives into exactly how we should be breathing through our noses and the relaxation effect that will take place with proper inhales and exhales. Tune in as Patrick reveals why he highly recommends taping your mouth before bed. Plus, Patrick recommends the best resources to learn more about breathing exercises and guidelines. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

He started to practice slow breathing and light breathing. Through breathing, he was able to influence the temperature of his fingers. Learn more about Patrick by reading his book Atomic Focus: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Focus-Resilience-Breathing-Exercises-ebook/dp/B09D9ZL9HL/benazadi-20   [07:15] The Problem With Crowded Teeth and Breathing If the teeth are crowded, your jaw is too small. If your jaw is too small, there’s not enough room for the tongue. So, the tongue is more likely to encroach the airway. When your airway is compromised, you may get disordered breathing during sleep. A palate expander is something that can be useful to improve breathing.   [16:40] The Problems That Can Develop With Chronic Mouth Breathing Yawning excessively can be a clue to mouth breathing. Whenever Patrick works with a student, he tries to switch them from mouth breathing to nose breathing as much as possible. He also works on functional breathing patterns. Light breathing helps ensure the blood chemistry is normal. You’re more likely to breathe light through your nose. By changing our breathing patterns, we can stimulate the vagus nerve.   [21:55] Patrick Explains How You Should Breathe Through Your Nose Bring your attention to your breathing. Slow down your inhale, and have a slow, gentle exhalation. When you need to breathe in, take in a gentle inhalation. At the end of the inhalation, bring a feeling of relaxation to the body. When you do this correctly, you will feel air hunger. As you do this for two to three minutes, check the saliva in your mouth. Normally, it increases. When the human body undergoes stress, the mouth goes dry. While on the other hand, when we slow down our breathing, we should have more saliva in the mouth.   [38:40] Why Patrick Recommends Mouth Tape Before Sleep Mouth tape can bring you so many benefits. 50% of people wake up with a dry mouth in the morning. Breathing through your mouth at night can wreak havoc on your dental health. Mouth breathing will cause more sleep disruptions. Breathing through the nose will make it so you don’t have to wake up as much in the middle of the night.

Megan Ramos comes back to the Keto Kamp Podcast to discuss all things insulin resistance & diabetes. Keto Challenge Recordings: https://kka.mykajabi.com/offers/UxThDWSJ/checkout About Megan Ramos Megan Ramos is the CEO and co-founder of the Intensive Dietary Management (IDM) Program, clinical educator, and researcher, Megan Ramos. Megan’s major role in the IDM Program is to facilitate the patient’s education on the IDM dietary principles and counsel them on their fasting regimens.  Megan, along with her colleague Dr. Jason Fung, believe that both what you eat and when you eat matter. The IDM Program utilizes therapeutic fasting and time restricted eating protocols with their patients to help them reverse their type 2 diabetes and achieve sustainable weight-loss. They encourage their patients to eat real foods and adopt a low-carb lifestyle in addition to the fasting. You Can Be Metabolically Unhealthy But Look Skinny There are two different types of fat: subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat is the fat that we are self-conscious of at the beach. It sits between our abdominal wall and our abdominal cavity. This type of fat doesn't exactly go into our organs or infiltrate our organs; it's unsightly, and if we accumulate more of it, it puts us at risk for disease. The secondary type of fat, visceral fat, is a real sneaky bugger. It sits under the abdominal cavity. Plus, this type of fat wraps around your organs and infiltrates into your organs. You can have a lot of visceral fat and still be skinny. The scale doesn't tell us what our body is made up of. Is Insulin Bad For You? Too much of anything good for you is bad for you. Not having enough insulin, that's a problem, or having too much insulin too, is also a problem. Sadly, mainstream medicine doesn't understand the definition of too much insulin. Megan says that there is a time and a place for insulin injections for certain people. However, most people are eating a diet that's highly processed and full of refined sugars and fats. Plus, we're eating all of the time; so, we're making our body produce lots of insulin over time. For North Americans, our constant state is to produce insulin all the time. Our cells will develop resistance. Remember, absence makes the heart grow stronger. Why Megan Loves a Low Carb Approach You don't want to keep adding fuel to the fire; dietary choices are essential. When you're eating low carbs, you're not adding more fuel to the fire, and you're giving your body a chance to burn off some of that fire. When someone already has insulin resistance, insulin resistance causes the body to produce insulin. If you are constantly eating all day long, then insulin is being leaked into the body all day long. Intermittent fasting will help break the cycle of insulin resistance because you will be suffocating the fire. Overall, the body is impressive, and you have to remove the interferences. The Reason You Want Variation For Fasting  You don't want to slip into this one meal-a-day pattern consistently because the body will adapt. You want to keep confusing the body and changing it up; that way, the body won't adapt. It's great to mix things up! Our primary hunger hormone is ghrelin, and when men and women both start fasting, we see a drop in ghrelin. Then men's ghrelin tends just to go up and down, and it stays relatively consistent. However, women will see an initial drop; it will continue to decline more than their male counterparts. Many women feel like they're constantly putting out this enormous fire when doing alternate daily fasting. They would instead rather get into a fast and stay there. If you want to stay in a fast, you can! However, you need to cut out the snacks and reduce problematic foods.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Saladino. He is the leading authority on the science and application of the carnivore diet. He has used this diet to reverse autoimmunity, chronic inflammation and mental health issues in hundreds of patients, many of whom had been told their conditions were untreatable. In addition to his personal podcast, Fundamental Health, he can be found featured on numerous podcasts including The Minimalists, The Model Health Show, Bulletproof Radio, The Dr. Gundry Podcast, The Ben Greenfield Podcast, Dr. Mercola, Health Theory, Mark Bell’s Power Project, and many others. He has also appeared on The Doctors TV show and will release his first book in 2020 titled, “The Carnivore Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Optimal Health by Returning to our Ancestral Diet.” In this episode, Dr. Paul Saladino first speaks about his appearance on the Doctors and how it was a complete hit job. Then, Dr. Saladino reveals the reason he started incorporating more carbohydrates into his diet. We talk about why insulin resistance isn’t the best term to describe what is going on with people’s health. Later, we dive into the importance of lowering your linolic acid intake. Tune in as we chat about omega-3s, why Dr. Paul doesn’t eat any vegetables, and if there is a connection between eating meat and colon cancer.

They had five doctors and one lawyer. Plus, they had a vegan doctor to argue against Dr. Paul. There was a lot of yelling, and Dr. Paul was barely given a chance to say what he needed to say. Paul invited them to his podcast to have an honest and genuine debate. None of them showed up. If you want to watch it on YouTube, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaPrrg4tytE   [09:50] Why Dr. Paul Started To Eat More Carbohydrates Ketosis at the beginning for Dr. Paul without carbohydrates in his diet seemed fine. Eventually, Dr. Paul was getting a lot of muscle cramps, and he was getting heart palpitations at night. So, Dr. Paul started to reintroduce carbohydrates into his diet. First, he started to introduce honey into his lifestyle. After incorporating honey, Dr. Paul started to feel better. Blood sugar will spike when you include carbohydrates in your diet, especially honey. However, Dr. Paul’s blood glucose tracing was very low.   [22:50] Why Dr. Paul Doesn’t Like The Term Insulin Resistance Paul doesn’t like the term insulin resistance. He thinks metabolic dysfunction is a more precise term. He doesn't like to say insulin resistance because two types of insulin resistance are often confused and conflated. The first type of insulin resistance is physiologic insulin resistance. Humans have evolved a state known as ketosis, which goes hand in hand with physiologic insulin resistance. Then, there is pathological insulin resistance. Many people who exclude carbohydrates will see improvements in their physiology.   [34:50] The Importance of Decreasing The Amount of Linoleic Acid In Your Diet Many people should decrease the amount of linoleic acid in their diet. We have to understand how much linoleic acid is in the foods we eat as humans. Soybean oil has 45 to 50% linoleic acid. Butter and tallow, which has rendered animal fat from cows, will have much lower levels of linoleic acid, around 2%. The composition of our cell membranes takes a long time to change. So, breaking down the linoleic acid will take a great deal of time. A low carbohydrate approach will help lower the linoleic acid in your diet.   [40:00] What Happens When We Consume Too Much Linoleic Acid When we eat more linoleic acid, we can find more oxidized LDL. The oxidation and the instability of linoleic acid is one of the problems. There could be some potentially hormonal roles for linoleic acid that are negative as well. The underlying thing to consider here is an evolutionarily appropriate diet for humans. We consume much more linoleic acid than we ever have.   [47:25] Should You Be Taking Fish Oils on The Ketogenic Diet? Fish oil spoils extremely fast. These oils are so fragile, and we're putting them in capsules, and we're presuming that they're not oxidized. The only place Dr. Paul is getting omega-3 is essentially from ruminant animal fat. Paul is not convinced that omega-3s are that beneficial or that we should be pumping ourselves full of them. There have been millions and millions of humans that have no access to coastal foods; they did just fine from eating land animals.   [64:35] You Want To Push Your Linoleic Acid Consumption As Low As Possible Paul says to keep your linoleic acid consumption as low as possible. The human body can't make omega-6, but there's omega-6 in everything. The linoleic acid composition of a mother's breast milk changes based on their dietary consumption. If you look at the hunter-gatherers, their linoleic acid in the breast milk is much lower because they're eating so little linoleic acid in their diet.   [70:10] Thirty Days To Radical Health Paul is doing an animal-based 30-day challenge. In fact, Dr. Paul challenges you to try an animal-based diet for 30 days and NOT flourish! Learn more about the challenge here: https://animalbased30.com/ When you sign up, he will send you a free infographic and an eBook.   [75:55] Are There Any Vegetables That You Should Be Eating? If you think canonically about what a vegetable is, it's the part of a plant that it doesn't want you to eat. Vegetables don’t have a role in human health unless you want to go to great lengths to detoxify them. If you want to do vegetables, ferment the heck out of them and maybe do something like sauerkraut. Even some fruit can be problematic for humans.   [88:10] Is There Really A Connection Between Eating Meat and Colon Cancer? We've been cooking meat for more than a million years. Calcium is an essential part of every human diet, whether you're getting it from bones or you're getting it from good sources of dairy. When you have more calcium in the diet, you tend to see lower rates of colon cancer. Overall, we should go back to the idea of what's evolutionarily consistent, and we try to understand that as best as possible to inform our behaviors.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Carnivore MD: https://carnivoremd.com Follow Dr. Paul Saladino Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carnivoremd2.0/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/carnivoremd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carnivoreMD/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/paulsaladinomd Get The Carnivore Code: https://carnivoremd.com/my-book/ Listen to Dr. Paul Saladino, Benefits of Eating Meat on The Carnivore Diet, Dangers of Lectins in Food: KKP 87: https://poddtoppen.se/podcast/1470779784/the-keto-kamp-podcast-with-ben-azadi/dr-paul-saladino-benefits-of-eating-meat-on-the-carnivore-diet-dangers-of-lectins-in-food-kkp-87 The Fundamental Health Podcast: https://carnivoremd.com/podcast/ Get Heart & Soil Supplements here: https://shop.heartandsoil.co/discount/AFFILIATE10?rfsn=6331076.ba6cb5 Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Pauline Cox. She co-founded The Complete Health Clinic in 2004, a multi-disciplinary private health clinic with a vision of creating better access to healthcare and information. In 2018 Pauline co-founded Sow & Arrow with a mission of creating easy-to-access information on health and wellbeing as well as a place to get convenient healthy food on the go. Sow & Arrow creates high quality, innovative, nutrient-dense food based on the grain-free, low carb ancestral diet. Sow & Arrow also supply high-quality supplements and exceptional products, often locally produced by Artisan makers. Pauline has a passion for teaching and runs regular workshops and health programs and speaking engagements to relay the latest news, information and research in the areas of health and wellbeing Primal Living in a Modern World is Pauline’s first book and focuses on reversing chronic illness and optimizing health.  In this episode, Pauline talks about how she started on her journey to health and why Pauline took a deep dive into nutrition. We talk about how conventional medicine is more ready to accept preventative health care ever since Covid. Plus, Pauline explains what dual-fuel burning means and why it can be a total game-changer for your health. It’s incredible what the body can do when it is metabolically flexible. Tune in as we chat about retraining your hunger hormone, getting more collagen into your diet, and the importance of supporting your liver. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

She kept seeing the same inflammatory-based conditions turning up. Terry Wahls inspired Pauline to look at nutrition at a much deeper level. Pauline loves to think about how nutrition can improve longevity and protect us against chronic disease. [07:20] Being More Preventative When It Comes To Covid We can improve our immune function and make it more robust and more reactive when it needs to be. At the start of the pandemic, there was a lot of skepticism around vitamin D and zinc. Plus, there was a lot of skepticism around supplements, food, and the impact of nutrition. Now, it seems to be much more readily accepted in the conventional medical community. [17:30] Dual-Fuel Burning: What It Means and How To Achieve It Ketones have been around for as long as we've been around as humans. We can burn two different types of fuel: ketones and glucose. It protects our body from essentially eating our muscles and ourselves to death if we go two or three days without food. Dual-fuel gives us the ability to go for long periods of time without food. We're carrying our own little refrigerator of food that we can access at any point. Dual-fuel keeps our mood stable. [21:00] It’s Incredible That We Have A Metabolically Flexible Body Our brain is designed to be able to utilize glucose or ketones. However, the brain has a preference for ketones. If we eat some sweet potatoes, we will mop up that glucose and use it immediately. If you don’t eat carbs, then you will utilize the fat stored in your body. Pauline will fast from 6 pm to lunchtime the next day. She loves to have a core level of ketones. We have a brain that's becoming increasingly insulin resistant. Millions and millions of individuals across the world are already insulin resistant. Pauline recommends reading Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure?: The Story of Ketones: https://www.amazon.com/Alzheimers-Disease-There-Story-Ketones-ebook/dp/B01INM7KUE/benazadi-20 [26:20] How Long Does It Take To Retrain Your Hunger Hormone?   Ghrelin spikes very predictably around when we usually eat. Our body will produce ghrelin, very predictably, at nine o'clock, in anticipation of us having our breakfast. Your ghrelin is trained to spike. If you want to eliminate breakfast, then you should start to shift your ghrelin. Start moving your eating times 45 minutes back. That way, you're training that ghrelin spike to ease off rather than stopping altogether slowly. It will be an easier transition. [32:35] About Pauline’s Book Primal Living in a Modern World Get Primal Living in a Modern World: https://www.sowandarrow.com/product-page/primal-a-signed-first-edition-of-sow-arrows-ultimate-health Pauline wrote the book about eighteen months ago. Primal living is a blueprint; this step-by-step guide will teach you why we are sick, how to reverse and heal and how to safeguard you and your family’s health. Pauline talks about how the foods we eat make us sick, inflamed, and fat.   [36:25] The Importance of Getting More Collagen Into Your Diet   We live in a modern world that can work against us. However, we also live in a modern world that can work for us. We live in a time where there are so many incredible products on the market. There's a collagen deficit in most people. So, we're not necessarily getting enough protein. Pauline says our guts cannot break down protein properly. Bone broth is one of the best sources of collagen.   [43:15] The Best Way To Support Your Liver Fasting is a great way to support your liver. Also, eat a low-sugar diet. Pauline eats minimal sugars. The bile that the liver produces helps move along our bowel movements and allows for easy passage. If you aren’t producing the bile, your bowels won’t be working properly. We need to look after our livers at all times. Eggs are a great way to support your liver.   AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me again, Founder of Upgraded Formulas and a Chemical Engineer, Barton Scott. Barton always had sharp cognitive function, but he began to suffer memory loss and mental fatigue. How could this be, at such an early age? To make matters worse, tragedy struck at the same time, when he unfortunately lost his mother. Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com After taking many supplements during this time frame, nothing was working. Faced with adversity and looming health issues, this is when he decided that he must pursue solutions.  He grew frustrated with how mineral supplements lacked effectiveness and absorption into the body rendering most products in the market useless. He set out to fix the problem, using his background in Chemical Engineering and experience as a nutritionist, he was able to identify the issues with the current offerings and applied a solution based on sound science. Through research, and many trials and errors, he realized if you could get mineral particles small enough to absorb into our cells, that was going to be the winning formula for effectiveness. That's where he applied nanotechnology to minerals, and developed a solution that makes the minerals we sell today completely bioavailable - the impact of which we can see during our testing protocols. It was then that he set out to create what today is Upgraded Formulas, founded with maximum bioavailability and measurable absorption to ensure you are getting results. In this episode, Barton Scott opens the show explaining the inspiration behind his company, Upgraded Formulas. Unfortunately, typical supplements and our food isn’t enough to get all of our minerals. Barton came up with a better way: highly-effective dietary supplements that are absorbed better by the body than any other products. Plus, Barton created a hair test that is ideal for determining your heavy metal toxicity and mineral deficiencies. Tune in as we talk about the importance of testing, which minerals will be helpful with keto, and Barton speaks about his 11-day water fast.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Martha Carlin. She is a Citizen Scientist that takes a systems approach to looking at Parkinson's disease and finds the answers to PD and many chronic diseases may be in our poop. Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com When doctors said her husband’s Parkinson’s would eventually kill him, Martha Carlin said, “no it won’t.” She stepped out of a successful career as a systems expert and into the new role of Citizen Scientist. After years of re-learning the sciences, pouring over research (and commissioning work at the University of Chicago), Martha is now a leading source of deep data on the human biome to unlock preventions and cures for many of our most complex health conditions. Her company, The BioCollective, links personal health history, metagenomics and microbiome analysis to uncover previously unknown links between chronic disease and diet, stress, and environment. She lives with her (thriving) husband John in Lone Tree, Colorado. In this episode, Martha speaks about her obsession with the gut microbiome and how her research helped her husband's Parkinson's diagnosis. We talk about the differences between a healthy gut and an unhealthy gut. Martha reveals the top three things you need to avoid to improve your gut health. Later, we chat all about the products that Martha has developed as a result of her research.

So, Martha started to teach herself about science and the human body. Food and water are the main inputs in the human body. Martha threw out all the food that wasn’t organic. After ditching highly refined carbohydrates, Martha’s husband started to do much better than most people with Parkinson’s. Martha recommends reading Missing Microbes: How the Overuse of Antibiotics Is Fueling Our Modern Plagues: https://www.amazon.com/Missing-Microbes-Overuse-Antibiotics-Fueling/dp/1250069270/benazadi-20 [12:05] Comparing A Healthy Gut To An Unhealthy Gut People who have a relative abundance of streptococcus are in some disease category. Streptococcus loves glucose. Elevated proteobacteria is another sign of an unhealthy gut. There’s a study suggesting that people who drink skim milk have a statistically significant increase in Parkinson's risk. [18:30] Glyphosate: The Main Problem That Is Disrupting Your Microbiome The number one thing disrupting the gut microbiome is glyphosate. Most people do not understand how much the use of glyphosate has increased in the last thirty years. Glyphosate changes the biochemistry of the plant. Also, it changes the biochemistry of the soil, which changes the nutritional uptake of a plant. So, you need to eat as organic as possible. Also, make your legislators aware of the glyphosate problems. [23:55] Other Things You Should Avoid To Improve Your Gut Health Avoid high fructose corn syrup. Highly processed sugars will have a significant impact on your microbiome and overall health. The highest consumption of high fructose corn syrup is usually in poor populations. Also, avoid antibiotics to improve your gut health. [28:00] All About The BioCollective and How Martha Wants To Help People Improve Their Health Martha uses the concept of collect, connect, and correct. She collects poop samples, connects the dots, and corrects the problem. Martha has worked with researchers all over the globe using their samples. Now, they formulate different products to help people. Sugar Shift is something that will help you address cravings. BiotiQuest’s Sugar Shift helps your gut microbiome transform the unneeded accumulation of sugars (glucose and fructose) into mannitol. Mannitol is a sugar that isn’t stored in the body, so it is naturally eliminated.

However, this particular formula will kill foodborne pathogens. Plus, it works to restore mucosal surfaces in the gut to support your immune system. If you’re traveling, Ideal Immunity is great for your gut.
