Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Rebecca Warren. Her approach to thyroid and hormonal health is simple but powerful: get to the cause, then support the body to heal itself. Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com The thyroid doesn’t work on its own, so when the thyroid is off, it not only affects the entire endocrine system, but all systems within the body. This is why just getting a thyroid dysfunction diagnosis doesn’t mean you’ll ever get well, and in fact can make you worse over time. Likewise, hormonal imbalances indicate something is systemically wrong in the body. In Chattanooga and virtually around the world, Dr. Rebecca coaches her clients on optimal thyroid care via customized plans utilizing lab work and testing, supplements, and functional nutrition. In this episode, Dr. Warren gives a massive overview of the thyroid and what you need to know about Reverse T3. Plus, we chat about if you should try keto and fasting with thyroid issues and the danger of staying in ketosis for too long.

She was being prescribed Metformin, and Angela had insulin resistance. After doing research, Angela started to understand that there was a connection between PCOS and what she ate. When Angela had the surgery for PCOS, she found out about her endometriosis. After having three children, Angela realized there is a connection between the brain, the body, and the impact on your immune system.   [06:30] Advice For Dealing With Depression The first thing you need is acceptance. In life, the only thing you can be certain of is change. Anything you can do to create peace in your life will be helpful to you. If you want to run away from yourself, how are you going to sit with yourself? Work on dealing with small moments first.   [10:40] The Brain and Gut Connection: Depression Is Linked To Leaky Gut About 90% of serotonin is made in the gut. You can help your gut to create more serotonin. Aligning with your circadian rhythm will also improve your brain. Natural light from the sun will significantly improve your circadian rhythm and allow you to get more sleep at night. Women are depleted of vital nutrients, particularly things like DHA in the brain. It takes a woman two years to recover from pregnancy.   [14:10] How You Can Reverse Your PCOS For Good PCOS is a syndrome and is related to insulin resistance. Carbs, stress, and not sleeping will raise your blood sugar. Some people are genetically more carb sensitive. Having protein and healthy fats are really key things that make you feel better. If you have too many carbs, you will feel quite foggy. Another thing that improves insulin sensitivity is strength training.   [21:30] Sleep Is An Essential Pillar of Health   Sleep is going to make everything else in your life easier. In Angela’s corporate job, people would brag about only getting three hours of sleep at night. Most people need seven or eight hours of sleep. You are compromising your health and the way you look when you get less than six hours of sleep at night.   [25:35] Tips For Getting Better Sleep At Night How well you sleep tonight is going to be changed by what you did this morning. Get outside early in the morning. That way, you're really regulating the cortisol and melatonin cycle. Red light therapy is also a beneficial tool. Another tip for getting better sleep at night is limiting your exposure to blue lights.   [31:10] Hormones: Know When To Dial Back Your Stressors Make sure you have a nutrient-rich diet and you are not constantly stressing your body out. Everyone should fast for at least twelve hours every day. For women, there’s a time when you can push and stress your body, and there are times when you should not. Before your period, you're naturally going to have higher levels of inflammation, so it’s time to do less high-intensity exercises and start dialing things back.   [35:00] The Importance of Insights On Your Health Journey You need to know how you feel when you wake up in the morning. If you don’t have a way of tracking, then it will be challenging to know when things start to change. If you can’t afford trackers, just start with pen and paper. A CGM is probably the best thing you can get to really fine-tune your eating behavior and lifestyle behaviors.   [37:45] Fuel: There Isn’t A Perfect Diet That Fits Everyone   There isn’t one diet that works for everyone; however, there is a perfect diet for you. You can test some of your genetics to understand your sensitivities around carbs and fats. Eating a more ancestral diet is really important; take out processed foods. How you treat your body is the greatest gift you can give yourself.   [42:30] Train Your Body and Train Your Mind You need strength training to maintain and build muscle mass. Also, you want to do some cardiovascular training. The more muscle mass you have, the better insulin sensitivity you're going to have as well. Walking is underrated; you need to get up and get your steps.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Angela’s Website: https://angelafosterperformance.com/ Your Total Health Check: https://www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com/ Follow Angela Foster Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelasfoster/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AngelaFosterPerformance/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-foster-/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7ygt0Kro_Mqax2nLtz-yqQ Join the Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Listen to High Performance Health: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/high-performance-health/id1470595534 Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.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, we chat about the reasons why you don’t want to be in ketosis your entire life.

She felt sad and depressed as a stay-at-home mom.  Tara started weightlifting because the gym by her house only had weights and treadmills.  After lifting weights for eight months, Tara looked exactly the same. So, she decided to switch her nutrition – she went from 40% body fat to 11% body fat.  Then, Tara found keto. She felt healthy in both her mind and her body.    [11:20] The Discomfort That You Have To Go Through Is Temporary The life of your dreams is a life of alignment with yourself and your authentic self. Exercising and diet is a temporary stressor.  You aren’t going to be stressed forever.  The actions required for you to gain muscle is going to suck. However, your body is excellent at retaining muscle. So, the discomfort is temporary.  How you see yourself matters way more than how everyone else sees you.    [17:30] Why You Need To Align With Your Truth Most people know that they need to stop exercising and sleep more. If you have hypothyroidism, you're super inflamed, your CRP is off the charts, and you're exhausted, then yes, you need to sleep more! Training is inflammatory, and if you’re already inflamed, there will be problems.  You already know what you need to do; listen to your body. Trust your feelings.    [21:15] Why You Don’t Want To Be In Ketosis For Your Entire Life If you love being in ketosis, you can stay in it for as long as you want.  If keto doesn’t feel as good as it used to, then you may want to switch things up.  Keto impacts our neurotransmitters and our mental health. When you eat a diet that is mostly fat and protein, your body will favor dopamine production.  When you eat a diet that's mostly carbs and protein, you will favor serotonin production.  If you're not eating carbs, you're not going to favor serotonin production as much.  One of the reasons you should carb cycle is to improve your emotions and mood.    [31:20] Guess What? Insulin Isn’t The Enemy!  If you don’t have high blood sugar, then insulin isn’t the enemy. Insulin is an energy shuttling hormone. It takes glucose and places it in our bodies.  We can store anywhere from 350 up to 800 grams of carbohydrates in our liver and muscles.  Athletes can eat a lot of carbohydrates and not be obese because of the energy they are using.  If you aren’t exercising, your body will store carbohydrates as fat storage.    [36:00] Tara Always Trains When She Is Fasted – Here’s Why Tara always trains fasted; it’s great for your metabolism. If you are healthy, you should be able to train fasted in the morning. If you can’t train fasted, then you have some work to do with your blood sugar regulation.  Tara will thrive off of adrenaline during a fasted workout. Eating will bring your adrenaline down.    [39:20] Adrenals and Salt: The Importance of Sodium On Keto If you don't have enough salt on keto, your kidneys will excrete aldosterone, and then you'll start to have high adrenaline and high cortisol long-term. Rushing women syndrome is a hallmark of adrenal stress.  If you’re not okay with sitting still and being calm, then you have adrenal stress.  Also, if you feel overwhelmed, then you have adrenal fatigue.  So, make sure to monitor your salt intake.    [43:55] Are You Scared of Carbs? How To Address Carbophobia  We have to foster a healthy mindset around the fact that you're not eating carbs when you're doing keto. Carbs are not going to kill you.  China has an obesity rate of 5 to 6%, they eat more rice than any other country in the world.  In America, we have a 42.4% obesity rate. It’s not just carbs that are making you fat.  Carbohydrates are not inherently bad for us. It’s what happened to our metabolism from sitting all day, overconsumption, and processed foods.    [50:20] When You Should Start Implementing Carbohydrates   During keto, if you don’t feel that great anymore, it’s time to start eating carbs again.  If you’re working out more, you can start using carbohydrates to fuel your body and workouts.  If you’re not sleeping well and have diarrhea, you should introduce carbohydrates again. Being moody is also a sign that you need to add carbohydrates.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Tara’s Website: https://www.taragarrison.com/ Inside Out Health Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-out-health-with-coach-tara-garrison/id1468368093 Follow Tara Garrison  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachtaragarrison/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/taragarrisonpersonal Twitter: https://twitter.com/coachtarag TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coachtaragarrison Get Short-Term Keto: A 4-Week Plan to Find Your Unique Carb Threshold: https://www.amazon.com/Short-Term-Keto-28-Day-Unique-Threshold/dp/1628604409/benazadi-20 Upgraded Formulas (code ketokamp): https://www.upgradedformulas.com/products/hair-kit-test Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.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 for a FIFTH time Dr. Benjamin Bikman. He is a biomedical scientist, professor, and expert on insulin resistance.  💻 Register for my FREE 7 day keto kickstart challenge here: https://kka.mykajabi.com/keto-challenge Dr. Benjamin Bikman studies diabetes and obesity, and much of what he focuses on is a seemingly obscure condition called insulin resistance. But it's, in fact, not very obscure at all.  What is insulin resistance? Why did Dr. Benjamin Bikman devote his career to studying something like this? Well, insulin resistance is essentially two things. First of all, some cells in your body aren't responding very well to the hormone insulin. Second, you have more insulin than you did before, a condition called hyperinsulinemia. Dr. Bikman's research focus is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that mediate the disruption that causes and accompanies metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. Driven by his academic training (Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and postdoctoral fellowship with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders), he is currently exploring the different roles of insulin and ketones as critical drivers of metabolic function. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R  BiOptimizers Kapex digestive supplement for processing fat on keto.  You’ll automatically get 10% off any package of kApex with coupon code ketokamp10 (all one word).

By the time he was 42, Dr. Tom started to have vision problems. Tom had a cataract. An asymmetrical cataract in a 42-year-old guy is unusual. After doing some research, Dr. Tom saw that lead poisoning could trigger his health issues. When Dr. Tom tested himself for lead poisoning, he had the highest levels of lead that he had ever seen. Tom grew up one block from the Ford assembly line with no government regulations for heavy metal filtration. He was sucking in a lot of lead as a kid.  [16:30] Five Pillars That Contribute To Chronic Disease Intestinal permeability is a Zonulin modulated mechanism. When you have too much Zonulin being secreted, your cells are open too much, too frequently, and too large. All disease begins in the leaky gut. There are five mechanisms that create the perfect storm in developing chronic inflammatory diseases: Genetics Environmental Triggers The impact of the environmental triggers on the microbiome in your gut Leaky gut Systemic inflammation in the body [37:25] You Have 10 Times More Bacteria In The Gut Than All The Cells In The Human Body A teaspoon of poop has more bacteria than all the stars in the known universe. Every forkful of what you put in your mouth will feed good bacteria or bad bacteria. It will take months and months and months to change the environment of your microbiome. Taking a capsule of probiotics each day will not fix your gut. [40:20] Most Bacteria In Your Gut Have 100 To 150 More Genes Than The Entire Human Genome Are we really humans with a whole lot of bacteria? Or are we bacteria having a human experience? Genes determine function; every scientist knows that. The genes that get activated stimulate the production of the proteins that determine action. Is bacteria running the ship, or are genes running the ship? [42:10] 36% of All The Molecules In Your Bloodstream Are The Metabolites From The Gut Bacteria produce exhaust; that exhaust is called the metabolites. Those metabolites get into your bloodstream. 36% of all the small molecules in your bloodstream are the metabolites of the microbiome. The more bacteria you have, the stronger the message. Whenever you have brain dysfunction, you need to fix the gut. Remember, all disease begins in the gut. [51:40] The Autoimmune Disease Solution They’re Not Telling You Tom interviewed 85 different people who are the world leaders in autoimmune diseases. If you choose to do vaccines, you should give your children one at a time. You should never give children six vaccines at once. With multiple vaccines, there will be an inflammatory response.

Tune in as we chat about the importance of gratitude and how keeping a gratitude journal can change your life.   Free 7 Day Keto Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.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.

Many people do not appreciate the work Dr. Demartini does. However, other people’s opinions don’t matter to him. What matters is the data that is in front of him.    [15:45] Affirmations That Are Deeply Meaningful Will Work For You The word affirmation means a condition of firmness in one's mind. Putting great quotes in front of your mind is valuable. You should say something deeply meaningful and really aligned with what you value most.  Things that are just positive thinking can be delusional.  [17:45] The Differences Between Motivation and Inspiration   Every human being lives moment by moment by a set of priorities. Whenever they're doing something that's extremely high on their values, they are spontaneously inspired from within intrinsically to act. Anything that's low in your values you need motivation for extrinsically. So, you need to find what truly is valuable for you to do.  [22:05] How You Can Find Values In Your Voids Every time we judge, we create an emptiness. There's love and judgment. With love, we have fulfillment. With judgment, we have emptiness.  You can’t judge someone and feel whole.  Voids come from judgments; they leave us empty, and they want us to be fulfilled. When we live by our highest priority, we have the most fulfillment in life. Human beings and biological organisms grow most at the border of support and challenge. [26:45] During Covid, You Can Choose To See The Downside or The Upside “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” – John Milton There is nothing in the universe that's inherently good or evil, or positive or negative. Everyone has had something negative happen in their lives. When you look back on it six months later, usually you’re grateful that it happened.  Illusions of one-sidedness are incomplete awareness. During Covid, you can choose to see the downside, and you can choose to see the upside.  If you are comparing your current reality to the past or future and you’re not being present, you're missing out on the moment of the magnificence of what it can be doing. [31:50] Bringing Things In The Balance Heals Physical Ailments  You really can't have balanced physiology with an imbalanced perception. When you perceive things that support your values, the parasympathetic comes online.  When you perceive things that challenge your values, the sympathetic comes online.  If you bring those into perfect balance, your heart rate variability is increased, your resilience and adaptability increases, your cardiovascular quotient is improved, your immune system is stabilized and improved. You need both support and challenge to maximize growth and development. Remember, maximum growth and development occur at the border of order and chaos.  [37:20] The Greatest Intelligence Discovered In The Universe   Where does life originate? There are all kinds of theories.  Dr. Demartini is a cytonaut; he studied the origin of cellular and precellular life.  He went on a journey through the creation and evolution of the minuscule cytoworld.  In his book, Dr. Demartini retraces the four-billion-year history of life on Earth, from the first biomolecules to the human mind and beyond. Check out The Mysteries of the Living Cell: https://drdemartini.com/program/empyreance-vii/ [47:40] The Importance of Developing A Practice For Gratitude  Gratitude is a perfectly equilibrated mind.  Gratitude and love are homeostatic. When we're living authentically, our heart opens, and we feel grace. When we're authentic, we are spontaneously grateful for our very presence in this universe. If you don't fill your day with challenges that inspire you, your day fills up with a challenge that doesn’t.  [52:05] How Dr. Demartini Practices Gratitude on a Daily Basis   Dr. Martini takes time to write about his gratitude every single day.  Your life is filled with so many things you can be grateful for if you take the time to do it.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, SelfHacked, and LabTestAnalyzer. He is a thriving speaker and entrepreneur that has been independently researching health and science for over 15 years. Growing up with a myriad of health issues that conventional medicine failed to solve pushed Joe to study his own genes to get to the root cause of his problems. After fixing his chronic health issues with a personalized gene-based approach to health, he knew that he needed to share this information with the masses. Founding SelfHacked, LabTestAnalyzer and SelfDecode was Joe’s way of helping people take their health into their own hands. Now, Joe regularly speaks at events alongside the world’s top health experts and continues to work on enhancing his company’s products to provide people with access to cutting-edge tools and information designed to optimize health. In this episode, Joe talks about how his health started to crumble in his early twenties. When he decided to study the body to improve his health, Joe learned how genes could be the answer to optimizing his life. We talk about the critical markers for your body and how SelfDecode can be a life-changing tool for your health journey. Joe dives into all the things affecting your health like diet, sleep, stress, and environmental toxins. Tune in as we chat about the importance of light exposure, exercise, and Joe explains why your genetic risks are not the end of the world.

Eventually, his health crashed.  When his health crashed, Joe realized that he needed to study biology and how the body works.  He discovered that there was a lot of opportunity within genes to optimize his health.    [04:50] The Best Markers You Should Run For Your Own Body Joe uses his website, SelfDecode, to go in-depth on his tests. Check out his site here: https://selfdecode.com/ (use code KETOKAMP) People need to look at the whole picture of their test results. Don’t get lost in the minor details.  If you have genetic sequencing done, you can use that for SelfDecode. If you don’t have one, you can purchase it from them.    [11:25] You Don’t Feel Well Because You Are Eating An Unsuitable Diet Many people are attracted to a diet when they notice they feel better from it. Joe eats a low-carb and meat-based diet. Genetics has something to say about how people digest carbs. Some genes are related to how people interact with their diet.  Many genes are related to how people process fats.   [18:05] About The Sleep Deficit and What Problems Joe Will See With Sleep Sleep is an art.  Sleep is something that people have to be conscious of and not take for granted.  There's a lot of things that could go wrong with sleep.  Some problems that you could be having with your sleep: Not enough REM Not enough slow-wave Waking up in the middle of the night Having to pee Not getting a good rhythm  Waking up from the light too early Light in the room at night Poor temperature Eating too late As you can see, so many things can go wrong with your sleep. If you don’t sleep well, you are not going to feel well. If you aren’t tracking your sleep, you will never know.    [22:55] Light Exposure Is Great For Feeling More Productive   If you don’t go outside during the day, you aren’t going to feel as good.  Joe gets at least three hours of light a day. When he gets light, he notices an impact.  You need at least two hours a day minimum.  The more light you get each day, the better off you are going to be.  Don’t wear your sunglasses!  If you don’t get a lot of sun exposure, red light therapy can be the next best option.    [29:30] How Unhappiness and Stress Can Affect Your Health Journey  One of the main contributors affecting your longevity and health has to do with stress. The people who live longer deal with stress a lot better. Stress really is detrimental to the body in many ways. If you don't have good personal relationships, that can cause a lot of stress.  Community is another great way to feel better and less stressed.    [36:30] Natural Stressors Are A Great Way To Feel Better  Exercise is a great natural stressor. Other stressors include cold and hot therapies.  Changing your diet is another stressor. If you aren’t stressing your mind and your body, then you aren’t going to grow.    [38:05] Environmental Toxins Are Causing Health Problems  VOCs, mold, and environmental pollution are causing health problems.  Open up your windows every single day to help with environmental toxins.  Getting outside will also be helpful.  When you breathe in the fresh air, it helps your immune system.    [43:55] What's The Difference Between Genetic Risk and Overall Risk?  Risk is a probabilistic number.  You can prevent genetic risks by living a healthy lifestyle. If you have a high risk for something, that doesn’t mean you will get it.  Overall, having a high genetic risk doesn’t mean you actually have a high risk.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out SelfHacked: https://selfhacked.com/ Learn more about SelfDecode: https://selfdecode.com/ (use code KETOKAMP) Get the LabTestAnalyzer: https://www.labtestanalyzer.com/ Follow Joe Cohen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrbiohacker/ Follow SelfDecode Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/selfdecode/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/selfdecode Twitter: https://twitter.com/SelfDecode Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_H 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 Dr. Joy Kong. She is a UCLA-trained and triple board-certified physician, president of Thea Center for Regenerative Medicine in Los Angeles, California, founder of Chara Biologics, and President of the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy. She spearheads research and development in stem cell therapy, has proven herself a major force in regenerative medicine in the United States, and functions as a tireless mentor for many other physician Dr. Kong is the founder of Chara Biologics, a company that provides premier regenerative medicine products to physicians across the United States. She is also the president of American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy, and an avid educator, helping physicians to become fully trained in the science and practice of regenerative medicine. Dr. Kong is also keenly interested in clinical research to advance the field of regenerative medicine, and has cofounded a research organization to conduct a variety of clinical studies. Dr. Kong has been recognized by the prestigious IAOTP (International Association of Top Professionals) with "Top Doctor of the Year in Stem Cell Therapy" (2019) for her contribution to the field of stem cell therapy, "Empowered Woman of the Year" (2019) for her entrepreneurship and leadership, and "Book of the Year" (2020) for her memoir "Tiger of Beijing." In this episode, Dr. Kong talks about what it was like growing up in Beijing, China. She dives into the differences between healthcare in China and healthcare in the United States. Then, Dr. Kong chats all about the aging process and how stem cells can be a total game-changer on your journey. Stem cells can be the key to living a longer and higher quality life. Tune in as we discuss critical supplements for feeling better, and Dr. Kong talks about the inspiration behind her book, Tiger of Beijing.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [00:25] What It Was Like Growing Up In Beijing, China  Dr. Kong grew up on a university campus. It was more sheltered than most people in China.  She grew up in an environment of learning and pursuing knowledge. However, Dr. Kong was also a bit of a rebel. Dr. Kong never liked rules that didn’t make sense. She has been getting in trouble since kindergarten.  Overall, Dr. Kong learned that your environment can give you a certain strength or put you in a certain restraint.   [03:45] The Differences In China and America When It Comes To Healthcare  China has the biggest population in the world.  There are two medical systems. People can choose to go into Chinese medicine or go into Western medicine. People who go into Chinese medicine also have to learn the whole Western medicine system. Only when people get great benefits will they start to accept a new approach to healthcare.  Just because studies aren’t in English, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.    [09:20] Can The Aging Process Slow Down For Humans?  There are all these markers and symptoms of aging; we still haven't been able to label aging as a disease. Aging is a comorbidity. However, aging is just part of human life.  Some people will have a heart attack and die, while others will live until their late nineties. Which way do you want your life to be? We need to pay attention to optimizing our bodies, so we don’t suddenly have health issues as we age.    [13:40] Stem Cells Have The Power and Potential To Do A Lot For Your Body  Each stem cell contains this full package of intelligence that actually makes being a human possible. A single stem cell has so much potential.  How well a stem cell treatment works will depend on where the stem cells came from and how well they are made.  Dr. Kong will get a stem cell treatment for herself every three months.    [16:40] Are Stem Cells The Key To Humans Living Longer?  Studies have come out looking at the potential capabilities of stem cells to prolong life and extend healthspan. In a study of rats and mice, a simple stem cell infusion can actually extend their lifespan by about 30%. Plus, it preserves their physical capabilities and mental capacities.  If you can prevent the aging process, then you prevent the whole cascade to disease. You can avoid a lot of suffering by getting a stem cell treatment.    [23:15] What To Know About Stem Cell Therapy With Dr. Kong First of all, before stem cells, there is a very comprehensive evaluation.  Then, a naturopathic doctor will go over your entire history.  Next, Dr. Kong will address deficiencies that are going on in your body. Plus, Dr. Kong will suggest lifestyle changes that she wants her patients to make. That way, you will have optimal results.  Depending on what the patient needs, Dr. Kong will create a treatment plan. Check out Dr. Kong’s website: https://theacrm.com   [27:25] Who Can Benefit From Stem Cell Treatments?  If you are over age 35, you will start to notice aging.  Everyone above age 35 can benefit from stem cells.  Even if you are much older, stem cells will still benefit you.  When researchers gave old rats stem cells, their lifespan tripled.  The key is enhancing your quality of life with stem cells.    [30:15] Natural Ways To Produce More Stem Cells In Your Body Fasting and intermittent fasting are powerful tools.  Dr. Kong doesn’t eat before noon every day – at least 16 hours of fasting.  What you eat will be the foundation of your body. Let food be your medicine.  We need to respect the vessel that we are gifted.   [32:00] Aging: What Is Really Happening In The Human Body?  When we age, we are running out of stem cells.  Being alive means we are getting damaged.  As long as you have enough cells to replace what's damaged, then you're good. Stem cells are the engine of the body. If you don’t have an engine, then you’re not going to get anywhere.    [37:15] Dr. Kong Recommends Supplements That Will Help Cellular Function  Dr. Kong says vitamin D is so essential.  Omega 3 is also important.  Fulvic acid is one of Dr. Kong’s favorites.  Ben even puts fulvic acid in his dog’s water bowl.    [41:30] The Inspiration Behind Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician Get Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician: https://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Beijing-Inspirational-Regenerative-Physician/dp/1647139740/benazadi-20 This book is about Dr. Kong’s dream to come to the United States. However, she had every card stacked against her.  The first chapter starts with getting her visa rejected; it was one of the biggest obstacles in her life.  Dr. Kong is grateful for America, and she feels like she belongs here.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Kong’s Website: https://theacrm.com Get Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician: https://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Beijing-Inspirational-Regenerative-Physician/dp/1647139740/benazadi-20 Follow Dr. Kong Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiger_of_beijing/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stemcelldrjoy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drjoykong LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-kong-md-4b8627123/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DluAQkmwalQ Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ 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 was given 3 to 6 months to live, even with treatment. She was filled with ascites, metastatic lesions, crippled in extreme pain and nausea, had infections simmering, severe malnourishment, and muscle wasting. Her doctors told her that chemo and surgery wouldn’t help her advanced cancer. The diagnosis of terminal cancer suddenly shook her awake and asked her point-blank if she wanted to live or die. It had taken countless doctors over six months to stop making assumptions and defaulting to writing scripts from A (anxiolytics) to Z (Zithromax).  Dr. Nasha was forced to explore alternative methods. Luckily, she was blessed with an ER doctor who allowed her the time to share the chronology of her symptoms and truly listen. In the last 6 months, Dr. Nasha have seen 5 girls under the age of 10 with Stage IV Ovarian cancer.  Dr. Nasha acknowledges that her past experiences of significant trauma and abuse contributed to her illness.   [17:42] What is The Gerson Therapy? The Gerson Therapy was popularized in the 1940s by Dr. Charlotte Gerson. Dr. Gerson had amazing experience of solving all kinds of oncology situations by putting people on a very vegetable-densed high potassium, low sodium chloride diet.  The key parts of the Gerson therapy are a strict diet, dietary supplements, and enemas.   [24:12] Sharing authentically is very powerful for healing the body.  The theory that changing mental state can affect the course of cancer has been popularized by authors such as Bernie Siegel and Deepak Chopra.  A support group program called Exceptional Cancer Patients (ECap) developed by Dr. Siegel found that women with breast cancer has a higher chance of survival rate when they are part of a support group. Take The ACE Quiz - According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study, the rougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be and the higher your risk for later health problems.   [27:45] The Cancer Experience Having been diagnosed with cancer felt a very dirty secret for Dr. Nasha. The first person that she has told about her diagnosis then is now her husband.  The hardest thing when you are dealing with a cancer diagnosis is the well-meaning advice and wishes of the people in your circle.  You could take every perfect supplement. You could be in perfect metabolic flexibility. You can have an incredibly immaculate clean environment. But, if you are not dealing with the emotional healing within yourselves, you are not gonna get very far. You are not gonna get the outcomes you are hoping to achieve. People have to come to it when they are ready. Check out this resource from Dr. Nasha: 5 Steps to Take After a Cancer Diagnosis   [34:38] Top tools to heal your body At 16, Dr. Nasha decided to become a ‘vegetarian’.  A Chinese medical practitioner looked at her tongue and told her, “You have to eat some animal food.” TEST. ASSESS. ADDRESS. Adjust accordingly. Consistently do your labs. Do not guess. Do not compare.  Dr. Nasha advices people diagnosed with cancer to not tell everybody in the beginning. When you tell your loved ones, you deal with their reactions and you don’t get the opportunity to work on your own. [41:28] Issue with eating every two to three hours When we eat that often, we don’t give ourselves the bowel rest we need so that everything can clear up and evacuate. You have to give that window of autophagy to take out the garbage. Somewhere between 12 to 72 hours (depending on the person and situation), that’s what it’ll take to get some autophagy.  If you fast 13 hours a day and you are eating clean and relatively low carb, you will shift into some moderate autophagy.  When you are dealing with cancer, you’d want to moderate or lower your protein to avoid clicking on the mTOR pathways.  Kick-up your fats and restrict your carbohydrates to stay off the insulin growth factor aspect.  Bring in some intermittent fasting.  13 hours everyday, 16 to 18 hours twice a week, 3 days a month of fasting.  Walk towards to water fasting.  If you feel hungry, drink water. If after 15 minutes, you are still hungry, have a teaspon of coconut oil. After 15 minutes again, have a little bit of protein. If you are still hungry after that, eat a piece of fruit.  Hunger is more psychological than physical.    [47:30] Tips for people who are recovering from surgery  Understand why did we get here. We can’t completely heal and stay healed in the soil in which we got sick. Learn about The Terrain Ten, Dr. Winters’s cancer program for achieving optimal health See a prostate specialist to have a look for infectious agents.  Do some basic good laboratory assessment. Rule of thumb specific for prostate cancer only:  Avoid poultry skin and dairy. If you want dairy, take occasional heavy sour cream.  Quality is key. We don’t want extras because extras are all cancer drivers. Avoid red meat especially if you have the ACSL1.  Monitor both free and total PSA and PAP. Get a BIOCEPT prostate profile and circulating tumor cell count enumeration.   [52:36] Fasting, Keto and Skin Cancer: Myths and Facts All of us could benefit from a lower carbohydrate diet and higher plant intake diet.  Sugar drives the viral process. Melanoma is not a skin cancer. It is a systemic cancer. It is one of the cancers that the Gerson Diet does a pretty good job with.  Low carb diet to vegetarian diet Apply soap to pits and parts. Do not damage the absorption process of your skin.  Get a good bath every two weeks.  Skin tags are blood sugars. If you see skin tags, you are looking at diabetes.  [60:00] Test. Assess. Address. Dr. Nasha encourages everyone to run at least annually a complete metabolic panel (CMP),  complete blood count (CBC), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH) Test. Awareness is the first step. Make sure you vitamin D levels are above 50, if you are not dealing with a chronic illness. Even though an LDH test is useful in diagnosing tissue damage, other tests are usually necessary to pinpoint the location of the damage. One such test is called the LDH isoenzymes test. LDH isoenzymes are five kinds of the LDH enzyme that are found in specific concentrations in different organs and tissues.    [68:00]  What is The BRCA gene? The name “BRCA” is an abbreviation for “BReast CAncer gene.” BRCA1 and BRCA2 are two different genes that have been found to impact a person’s chances of developing breast cancer. When a BRCA gene is mutated, it may no longer be effective at repairing broken DNA and helping to prevent breast cancer. Because of this, people with a BRCA gene mutation are more likely to develop breast cancer, and more likely to develop cancer at a younger age. The carrier of the mutated gene can also pass a gene mutation down to his or her offspring.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Email me at support@ketokamp.com Claim my FREE Keto Kickstart Guide: www.ketokickstartguide.com Subscribe to the Keto Kamp YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/ketokamp  Register for my FREE intermittent fasting masterclass: http://www.intermittentfastingmasterclass.com To know more about Dr. Nasha Winters, visit her website here.
