The average person is getting most of their calories from these oils. Without these seed oils, we would not have the burden of chronic disease. We were healthier 100 years ago, and we had no clue about vitamins, minerals, and supplements. The Great Exchange    After a certain point, our body wants nothing to do with these unstable fatty acids. Two percent of daily calories should come from omega-3 and omega-6. We actually need more omega-3 than we do omega-6. The exchange of good fatty acids for bad fatty acids opens the door to chronic disease. Once we exceed the two percent amount of unstable fatty acids, then they end up in our body fat. We have a lot of people who are on the skinny side but are centrally obese. Our bodies cannot traffic these unstable acids properly. That’s why it stays near the fat lining of our intestines. Start eating the monounsaturated fatty acids. Clear your life of the seed oils. We Need More Omega-3s Than Omega-6s   On a healthy diet, omega-3s are more likely to get damaged during cooking. For the amount that is ultimately absorbed, we need more omega-3 sources in the food that we eat. You can’t supplement more omega-3 if you have been eating a standard American diet. Instead, you have to cut the omega-6. If you reduce omega-6 without increasing your intake of omega-3, then your blood levels of omega-3 will start to rise. Oxidation science is very complicated, and there is a lot to consider. Fish Oil Is Highly Unstable Oxygen will attack the bond and destroy the molecule. Fish oil has two double bonds. So the oxygen is nine billion times more likely to attack. Fish oils can have five double bonds. It is so unstable that it rarely makes it off the shelf before it’s destroyed. The fish oil will turn into toxic compounds. People are getting toxic compounds from low-quality fish oils.

This process taught her that the journey was about the MIND, BODY & SOUL and that HAS to be shared!

Erika was in a very dark place; she lost her 22-year-old niece to diabetic complications. After hitting rock bottom, Erika reached out to her doctor, who referred her to a gastric bypass doctor. The doctor said they could do the surgery, but she would need to lose thirty pounds first. On the internet, Erika searched for different ways to lose weight. When Erika started keto, it completely changed her life. She lost over 100 pounds and no longer has depression or anxiety.   [07:15] When You Change Your Lifestyle, Community Will Be Critical Erika’s family was legitimately concerned about her new keto lifestyle. They thought it would make her health conditions worse. However, after three years on keto, Erika is the healthiest that she has ever been. Who would have known that eliminating certain foods would make such a difference? Luckily, Erika is the happiest that she has been in years. Anything that brings her stress is completely removed from her life. “The scale isn't as much my focus anymore as it is maintaining my mental state.” -Erika [10:55] The Most Surprising Benefit From Following A Keto Lifestyle Sadly, Erika thought she had gout. Erika’s knees to her ankle were legitimately the same size. On keto, Erika can actually see her ankles now. The inflammation is gone since Erika started ditching the carbs and processed snacks. Erika didn’t have gout; she had bread and pasta. The inflammation played a big role in Erika’s lack of mobility. [12:50] Does Keto Give You More Energy or Less? The pieces started to fall in place when Erika fell in love with the girl in the mirror. Once you choose you, you'll be a better mother, a better employee, and a better boss. It’s hard to have energy with cookies, chips, and donuts. Once you eliminate these processed foods, you will have loads of energy. When you’re not taking care of your health, it’s a very selfish thing to do. [16:00] Set Attainable Goals For Yourself When Starting A Keto Lifestyle Erika’s keto journey was day-by-day. She lost 100 pounds in ten months. When Erika changed her diet, she went 100% clean keto. She didn’t snack, and she followed her macros. Set attainable goals for yourself. When you focus on health first, then the weight will melt off. [19:05] Keto Orlando Health & Wellness Summit Erika started to grow a community on Instagram. She just wanted to meet like-minded people. So, Erika created a Beautiful Girl Gone Keto event. You can register for the next one here: https://www.beautifulgirlgoneketo.com/register-bggk-rendezvous Aug 27, 3:00 PM EDT – Aug 29, 11:00 AM EDT Hilton Orlando, 6001 Destination Pkwy, Orlando, FL 32819, USA [28:05] Believe In Yourself & Change Your Life Don’t give up. Don’t give up not only on your keto journey, but don’t give up on yourself. Your health is your wealth. Make yourself a priority. Fall in love with yourself right now.

 Today, I am blessed to have here with me Austin Cavelli. She helps people optimize their health by burning fat for fuel and reducing years of underlying inflammation from the standard American diet. Her approach focuses on quality nutrition by way of nutrient-dense animal products. Austin is a board-certified, nationally accredited physician assistant. I have treated thousands of patients with acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, including various autoimmune conditions. In addition, Austin has worked for several years in research studying addiction and the aging brain. Austin's background in research has taught her how to conduct experiments, a skill that has proven extremely useful in helping clients find what works specifically for them. In 2014, Austin earned my Master of Science degree from Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences in NYC. Prior, Austin received her bachelor's degree in psychobiology from Binghamton University. In this episode, Austin opens the show by explaining why she started following a carnivore diet. After years and years of digestive issues, the carnivore diet finally put Austin on the track to a healthy life. Austin explains what antinutrients are and why they could be causing some of your health symptoms. We talk about common myths like not eating fiber will cause constipation and the alleged link between red meat and cancer. Tune in as we chat about the importance of electrolytes, organ meats, and reintroducing keto foods into your diet.

She suffered from chronic constipation and chronic pains with food. So, Austin tried a paleo diet and cut out diary. Eventually, Austin noticed that when she cut out certain vegetables, her digestion was getting better. Then, she realized more fats would make her feel better. It wasn’t until Austin went carnivore and cut out fiber that made her digestive issues go away. [06:30] Antinutrients Could Be The Reason For Your Symptoms Joint pain is a big issue. Antinutrients can also cause chronic constipation. Also, antinutrients can be hindering your mental clarity and sleep. Lastly, antinutrients may be causing low energy levels. Switching to carnivore can vastly improve mental clarity, sleep, energy, digestion, and joint pain. [08:35] Why You May Want To Ditch The Antinutrients Take away antinutrients to see if your health improves. Antinutrients will affect every person differently. The gut will be most affected by antinutrients. In fact, they can even cause leaky gut. First, you have to clean the gut before you introduce probiotics. If you add probiotics to an unhealthy gut, then it’s not going to help. Remove the antinutrients in order to heal the gut temporarily. [14:15] Do You Need Fiber To Have Regular Bowel Movements? People think that going on a carnivore diet will result in constipation. Other people say that the carnivore diet will result in explosive diarrhea. When switching to carnivore, the increased amount of fat could result in diarrhea. So, go heavy on protein instead of fat. Liquid fats will run right through you. [16:30] Why You Shouldn’t Drink Water When You Are Eating Your Meals When you are eating a carnivore diet, you already have a lot of protein which requires stomach acid to break it down. To maximize stomach acid, prevent water 30 minutes before and after a meal. It takes our body more effort to digest cold water. Instead, drink room temperature water. When eating, it is best not to just stress the body and make sure that you can focus on the digestion of food. [17:45] Electrolytes Are Critical When Following A Carnivore Diet Austin is a minimalist when it comes to supplements. If you are going to eat organs, then eat the actual organs. Supplements are processed, so it’s time to eliminate those from your diet when possible. If you are starting a carnivore diet, then you need more electrolytes. Take a magnesium supplement; it’s not readily available in our soil anymore. Austin recommends Pure Encapsulations: https://www.pureencapsulations.com/ [22:00] Why You Should Eat Organ Meat And How To Make It Taste Good Liver is the most bang for your buck. The beef heart is very mild. Another organ that is easy on flavor is the beef tongue. Slow cooking the beef tongue will make it easy to consume. [26:45] Can I Get Cancer From Eating Too Much Red Meat? Keto and carnivore have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. The red meat studies were not accurate – they were not looking at just the consumption of red meat. Everything comes down to inflammation. When you reduce antinutrients, you are reducing inflammation. By doing these things, you are actually reversing your chances of getting cancer. The number one cancer center in the United States is promoting a ketogenic diet. [32:50] How To Transition From Carnivore To Keto Depending on what foods trigger your symptoms will depend on how you want to transition from carnivore to keto. For instance, if sweet things trigger your symptoms, then you may want to avoid fruits. However, if sweet foods are not your trigger, then you can start to reintroduce berries back into your diet. Avocado is a safe food to bring back into your diet. Also, some people even cut out eggs when they go on a carnivore diet. That’s another food item you can start incorporating when getting back to the keto lifestyle. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Tim James. Tim started Chemical Free Body LLC to create awareness and solutions to the man-made chemical assault destroying our ecosystem and our health. Tim supports people’s transformation with education and the highest quality nutritional supplements that naturally occur in nature. In this episode, Tim James opens the show by explaining how he got into the health space. As someone who ate the standard American diet, Tim was overweight, developed eczema, had acid reflux, and got his appendix removed. After completely changing his lifestyle, Tim now loves to teach others about diet, fasting, and biohacks. Tune in as Tim talks about fasting for beginners, resetting your immune system, and Chemical Free Body products.  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.

It’s one thing to get healthy for yourself, but Tim also teaches other people how to get healthy. Health is all about the right medicine, and the right foods for the right person at the right time. Tim grew up on the standard American diet. At age 37, Tim was gaining a few pounds every year. He developed eczema on both of his elbows. He had to stop wearing white shirts because he was bleeding on them. Plus, Tim had acid reflux 24/7. Later, during vacation, Tim got appendicitis and had his appendix removed. “My poor health doesn't affect just me; it affects every single person around me.” -Tim Tim’s friend got diagnosed with leukemia. So, Tim went to a Health Institute with his friend and was put on a strict diet. After one day, Tim’s acid reflux was gone.   [13:30] Colon Hydrotherapy Sessions: Are They Helpful or Harmful? You sit on a tube rectally, and water goes in and out of your colon for about an hour. The session cleans out your colon. A healthy person has a pink colon with red blood vessels. An unhealthy person will have worms crawling around and can be black or brown. After the hydrotherapy session, Tim lost ten pounds of fecal material. The record was from someone who dropped twenty-seven pounds out of her colon. [23:00] How Intermittent Fasting Plays A Role in Tim’s Community First, you need to remove the fear around intermittent fasting. When you go to bed, and you’re asleep, then you’re fasting. Our bodies have been programmed to eat, fast, eat, fast, and so on. The industry has sold us on breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When you have a heavy meal, then you stop the body’s natural detoxification process. Plus, eating too frequently will mess up your blood sugar levels. Check out The Pleasure Trap: https://www.amazon.com/Pleasure-Trap-Mastering-Undermines-Happiness/dp/1570671974/benazadi-20 [27:10] The First Steps To Take When You’re Ready To Try Fasting First, take one of your meals and replace it with liquid nourishment. Make a fresh green juice and flood the body with nutrients. The juice will help regulate your blood sugar. If your blood sugar is going goofy, then you can use sprouted nut milk. Technically, drinking juice is not fasting. However, it’s a steppingstone to start intermittent fasting. High-quality fatty acids will build muscles like nobody’s business. Don’t eat until after 11 am. [30:40] How To Reset Your Entire Immune System As Quick As Possible A three or four-day water fast will reset your immune system. Your body will start eating up the dead cells during a water fast. Plus, your stomach will heal itself and rest. Energy will go through the roof, and you’ll be burning ketones. [36:15] All About The Chemical Free Body Products Check out the Savings Bundles: https://chemicalfreebody.com/saving-bundles/ The Jumpstart bundle is a great place to begin. This bundle in 15 days will help you to remove 6-12 pounds of unwanted waste matter from your intestines while at the same time flooding your cells with massive amounts of nutrition.

However, around the age of five, our biochemical machinery starts to shut off the ability to break down lactose. In fact, at least two-thirds of adults are lactose intolerant. This means for most adults, the bovine proteins and amino acids in dairy are inflammatory. As for cheese, some are better than others when it comes to inflammation. Berry explains that the further the cheese has been removed from liquid milk, the less inflammatory in most cases. For example, hard cheeses like parmesan have been fermented for a long time and will cause the least amount of inflammation. A dairy-free month is great to determine if your issues, such as chronic inflammation, gut issues, and trouble losing weight, come from your intake of dairy products. Shocking! Another Inflammatory Food That May Surprise You A food that many people think is healthy, but is surprisingly inflammatory, is nuts. Even though nuts are looked at as a healthy snack, they are actually very carb-heavy and can slow down your weight loss. Cutting nuts out of your diet may seem restrictive, but not meeting your goals and being able to do whatever you want to in a day physically is really what is restrictive. A good way to eat nuts is occasionally, not every day. Eating them occasionally is probably fine because it mirrors our ancestors' behavior.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Gonzalez. He obtained his Ph. D and BS from the University of California, Irvine where he studied, and his thesis addressed interactions of the immune system following spinal cord injury. In addition to his expertise in degenerative disorders involving the spinal cord, he has extensive experience in stem cell culture and biology from various sources. He has extensive knowledge in all aspects of cell biology and health where he teaches worldwide on regenerative medicine and maintaining immune health. Dr. Gonzalez is responsible for the development of clinical stem cell applications for several disease/trauma states. He leads 4 different investigational new drug applications with patented stem cell technology. Additionally, he works on the clinical development of immune based therapies using natural killer cells. He had led a reference laboratory in testing various regenerative medicine products. Dr Gonzalez has been in the regenerative medicine field for more than 18 years and has several scientific publications. He has taught, spoken and led many conferences nationwide in the regenerative medicine sector. In this episode, Dr. Gonzalez reveals the inspiration behind his career in the stem cell space. We speak about why cell therapeutics is known as the wild west and the amount of FDA testing Dr. Gonzalez goes through to ensure safe products. Then, Dr. Gonzalez dives into what exactly stem cells are and how they can improve the natural processes that are already occurring in your body. Tune in as we talk about the importance of fasting, turning your life around after an autoimmune diagnosis, and who should consider getting cell therapeutics.

He loves to understand and study cells. Stem cells have properties that can heal the body. Plus, Dr. Gonzalez believes that stem cells can work against aging. In fact, stem cells are made naturally inside our body. [08:00] The Wild West of Cell Therapeutics & FDA Testing Any form of cell therapeutics is like the wild west. When you submit for the cells to have a Chemical Manufacturing Composition, it takes years. Gonzalez got his first clinical study approved in 2019 with the FDA. Essentially, the FDA boils down to the amount of testing. They are always ensuring that the product is safe. [13:05] How Stem Cells Can Improve The Natural Processes In Your Body Pompa and Dr. Gonzalez have been looking at using stem cells to control the inflammatory state and increase blood flow. We need increased blood flow because you’ll notice brain fog and a loss of energy without it. The natural property of our body is actually to increase blood flow any way that it can. The cells in your body have three fates: Natural cell turnover Necrosis Senescence When our cells stop dividing, they start occupying space and cause havoc. These cells can cause wrinkles and gray hair. There’s a cell type in our body that is a natural killer. These cells have three jobs: Remove a cancer cell Pick up viral load Wipe out senescence cells If you don’t have immune health, you essentially have nothing. Every single disease has an immune component to it. [22:10] The Critical Role Fasting Plays In Longevity Aging is an issue of cell growth. If you consume food incorrectly, your body has to process all that. When you keep dividing cells, you are causing senescence. One proven lifestyle change for longevity is fasting. Also, diet is important because you force your body to remove the toxins in your body.   [26:00] Transform Your Health With ReHealth’s Cell Therapeutics Learn about ReHealth here: https://rehealth.com/ Register at the website, and they will contact you. The consultation is completely free. Depending on what you are looking to achieve will determine what type of therapeutics you should consider. Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy can help with the aging process. [30:30] How To Start Getting Your Life Back After An Autoimmune Diagnosis First and foremost, Dr. Gonzalez likes to discuss diet. If you are taking a bunch of meds, then you are not going to get better. Stem cells will give you a temporary effect unless you are doing all the key lifestyle components. Think about your goal. Gonzalez doesn’t help people who are smoking. Stem cells will simply be a Band-Aid. Overall, stop smoking, start fasting, and fix your diet.   [33:00] How Frequently You Should Consider Working With ReHealth’s Cell Therapeutics How often you will need cell therapeutics will depend on your goals and your situation. Some people will have one session and feel great for the next five or six years. Most people will get therapeutics every six months or every year. The effect of stem cells initially is far greater than the sequential effects. [42:30] The Type of Person That Should Seriously Consider Cell Therapeutics If you have immune issues, you need cell therapeutics. Also, if you’ve tried everything else, then you should try cell therapeutics. Sadly, doctors will want to hand you a pill. If you are going to go see someone, find someone who knows integrative medicine. If you have any questions, Dr. Gonzalez wants to answer them! Email: Rgonzalez@TheBioBox.com AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Megan Hall. She received her BS in Exercise Biology and MS in Nutritional Biology at UC Davis where her research focused on the effects of low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets on longevity and health span in mice. She currently works as Scientific Director at Nourish Balance Thrive, an online health coaching company helping people achieve optimal health and peak performance. In her free time Megan enjoys reading, strength training, and hiking in the Colorado mountains. In this episode, Megan opens up the show by explaining why she wanted to learn more about nutritional and lifestyle interventions for optimal health. Even if you are making the necessary lifestyle changes, you can still be facing health issues. Megan explains why you may want to consider the gut as the reason you are having problems. Plus, Megan talks about how both physical and emotional stress can impact our gut health, and she gives tips on avoiding stress during mealtime. Tune in as we chat about overcoming acid reflux, the impact keto and fasting have on gut health, and whether or not you should give up drinking coffee.

She wanted to know more about how lifestyle and nutrition play a role in chronic diseases. Plus, Megan was becoming frustrated with conventional medical school education. Instead of pharmaceutical education, Megan wanted to learn more about helping people implement impactful nutritional and lifestyle interventions. Now, Megan works at Nourish Balance Thrive. She helps people achieve optimal health and performance.  [06:15] You Made Necessary Lifestyle Changes But Something Is Still Wrong Megan will help people who already have changed their diets, and their sleep is on point. However, there are still health issues. In this case, Megan says something is going on in the gut. Intestinal permeability or dysbiosis could be causing health issues. A stool test and targeted supplementation can fix the gut problem. There isn’t a perfect stool test, unfortunately. [09:40] Mental Emotional Stress Impacts Not Just Our Digestive Health, But Also Our Overall Health There are different ways that stress can impact the gut. Both physical and emotional stress can have consequences. The elevation of stress hormones can cause direct inflammation and lead to further gut-derived inflammation. Stress hormones can potentially even lead to food intolerance if gut permeability is involved. Also, stress can directly impact digestion and nutrient absorption. Our bodies are not designed to digest food while we are under stress. Plus, stress can lead to making poor food choices. Stress can also increase motility and fluid reabsorption in the gut. Take deep breaths before eating – it will bring your body back into the parasympathetic state. [16:05] Eating Before Bed: It Can Affect Digestion, Sleep, And Your Circadian Rhythm  The body expects food to come during the day. Eating inherently increases our energy output and our body temperature. A drop in body temperature is one of the biggest signs or signals for our bodies to go to sleep. If you’re eating before bed, you’re not able to cool your body temperature down to increase melatonin. Sleep should be a time of rest and repair. If we are digesting while sleeping, it can cause issues. Plus, our gut microbes have their own circadian rhythms. [19:45] Megan Reveals Tips For Overcoming Acid Reflux   Avoid really large meals. Some people have specific food triggers that cause acid reflux. Don’t eat close to bedtime. If you’re doing everything right, look at what's going on at the level of the gut to see if there's small intestinal dysbiosis. [21:35] How Ketosis Can Impact Your Gut Health It makes sense from an evolutionary lens that our guts evolved to have this metabolic flexibility to adapt to different food resources available at a given time. There is some recent evidence in animals that butyrate may help enhance sleep. Butyrate also seems to have some anti-inflammatory effects both locally in the gut and then also outside of the gut. [25:00] The Importance of Rotating Foods For Gut Diversity When gut cells use butyrate as a fuel, it's actually converted to ketone bodies. Ketones may help improve gut function and also be used as an alternative fuel source for the gut. Increase gut diversity by rotating which foods you eat. Plus, going in and out of ketosis will also help with gut diversity.   [27:25] The Multiple Benefits That Fasting Has On Your Gut Health Longer-term fasting may improve gut barrier function. Improved gut barrier function is associated with reduced relative bacterial abundance. Intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating in your day-to-day life is a good thing. Plus, fasting can give your gut a rest. Strategic fasting is a helpful tool for your toolbox. [38:05] The Problems With Artificial Sweeteners & Which Ones You Should Avoid Monk fruit and stevia are some of the better artificial sweeteners. Whereas aspartame and sucralose are some of the worst. People who consume artificial sweeteners may have higher levels of insulin resistance. Long-term studies in humans looking at artificial sweetener intake that are controlled don't exist. There are a lot of questions that still need to be answered. Artificial sweeteners can potentially impact energy balance. [43:50] How The Carnivore Diet Can Help Heal Your Gut Nutrient-dense whole foods are great for your gut. What diet works for you today may not be helpful for you down the road. Antinutrients in plants can be problematic. They can inhibit nutrient absorption. Some antinutrients will increase intestinal permeability. [48:50] Should You Give Up Coffee For Your Gut Health? Polyphenols in coffee may have a positive effect on the gut microbial ecosystem. However, coffee can be inflammatory. People do not want to give up their coffee. Adding liquid saturated fats to coffee can be making your gut health worse. It can cause significant gut inflammation. If you’re having joint pain, brain fog, or an inability to focus, then coffee could be the issue. We need to appreciate that coffee can have both a positive and a negative effect on our gut health.

Today’s episode is very close to my heart as I have a personal experience with diabetes. My father developed Type II Diabetes and I have watched him struggle with this disease. It was a very difficult time of my life. Ever since he passed away five years ago, I set out and study diabetes and why my fathers doctors’ advice did not work. This is a throwback episode from a KKP classic, episode 24 with Dr Jason Fung.  I came across the book The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss by Dr. Jason Fung where he explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight—for good. The information that I now know would’ve saved my father’s life. Which is why I fully support Dr. Jason Fung’s, today’s guest, on his mission to spread as much information on diabetes and intermittent fasting to help as many people as possible. Dr. Jason Fung is a Canadian nephrologist. He’s a world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes. He has written four best-selling health books. Dr. Fung works with Team Diet Doctor where they make it simple for people to understand and implement intermittent fasting, to improve their health. In this episode, we break down every single thing you need to know about calories, obesity, diabetes and intermittent fasting. Sit tight and enjoy!

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  In this episode, you'll discover: [00:17] How Dr. Fung got into the health space, particularly nephrology As a Math and Science person, Dr. Fung initially thought he would pursue the field of engineering. He then decided that being a physician was more fitted to his style. After years in the university, he figured that he was also invested in doing research. As a physician, he can help people and do some research at the same time. In choosing a specialty, Dr. Fung felt that Nephrology suited his personality better. Nephrology is a complex specialty which is sort of a thinking-person speciality unlike cardiology which is more of an action specialty (i.e surgery) [4:13] Diabetes, Obesity and Intermittent Fasting The most common and important cause of kidney disease is Type II Diabetes which is closely related to weight gain and obesity. Treating kidney diseases with medications is the least effective way to treat people. You have to look at the root cause of the disease in order to be successful in treating it. Which is why, for Dr. Fung, the real question was “what causes weight gain?” Nutrition is not considered part of the medical specialty which explains why doctors depend on medications to treat certain illnesses. Second question: What are you gonna do about it? Obesity was not existent during the 1970s. Now, 70% of Americans are obese. Intermittent Fasting: People suffering with Type II Diabetes for 20+ years immediately felt better by intermittent fasting. Fasting is less fun that eating pizza and doughnuts. Fasting is tough work. It is important to give people undergoing intermittent fasting the support and education they need. [12:30] The Calorie Debacle Coca-Cola created a group called the Global Energy Balance Network to keep people focused on calories. They wanted people to think that 100 calories of broccoli is equivalent to 100 calories of Coca-Cola which is completely wrong. If you think that if you can eat cookies, drink coke and exercise then, you’ll be healthy, you are wrong. But, Coca-Cola wants you to think that this is right. Hormones control hunger, telling our body when to eat and when to stop. Different calorie sources elicit different hormonal responses. Diet and exercise are totally different things. Diet is what you eat. It affects the liver mostly. Exercise is mostly about skeletal muscles. Calorie is not a physiologic term. There’s no calorie-receptors in our body. We think that excessive intake of calories causes obesity. We think that this is a caloric imbalance. Too many ‘calories in’ compared to too few ‘calories out’ leads to weight gain. This Calorie Balance model of obesity has been drilled into us since childhood. Read more about the Calorie Debacle here. [18:40] Intermittent Fasting as a reasonable alternative to treat patients Ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting are not as famous as low-carb diet. Jason Fung received a lot of backlash when he started to introduce intermittent fasting to his patients. Because of IF, patients were getting better. At the end of the day, you can’t ignore that. Other doctors started to notice the success of IF. Through his book, The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss, Dr. Fung explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight—for good. [25:55] Why the common treatments for type 2 diabetes seem to make things worse Type II Diabetes is a reversible disease. The standard treatment of Type II diabetes focused on getting the sugar down by medications. Doctors should’ve focused on the patient’s diet to help them lose weight because if you lose weight, your diabetes gets better. Jason Fung forever changed the way we think about obesity and he wanted to do the same for type 2 diabetes through his book The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally He explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease. People cannot just make a decision to burn more fat calories, or to feel less hungry. These are physiological issues and must be addressed via physiology. [31:49] Dr. Fung’s Intensive Dietary Management (IDM) program now called The Fasting Method The IDM program helps people reach their health goals through intermittent fasting and simple-to-follow time-restricted eating strategies. It’s a structured digital lifestyle intervention developed by Megan Ramos and Dr. Jason Fung that provides you with all the education and support you need to succeed. At least several thousands of people have gone through the Intensive Dietary Management program and the number keeps adding up.   For 2019 years, people have already been talking about fasting and they don’t talk about it as a terrible thing. Fung clarifies that he didn’t invent intermittent fasting. He just started talking about it because it seems logical to him. [37:14] Guinness World Record on the Longest Recorded Fast In the 1971 edition of The Guinness Book of Records, Barbieri's 382-day fast was recognized as the longest recorded. The most important thing is that people feel well throughout their entire fasting. For 365 days a year, 3 meals a day, you are taking a total of 1000 meals per year. If you do a 7-day fast, you’re going to miss 21 of that 1000. How is that a big deal? AND MUCH MORE!
