The environment that we have created through modernization is decimated. People in the Midwest now have phosphate and Atrazine in their cells because of fertilizer. When your endocrine system is not functioning optimally you have hormonal declines. Men and women have low levels of circulating free testosterone, estrogen, and various other hormones that are important in the body. So, men and women have to become proactive for their own health. [10:00] Practical Solutions To Regulating Your Blood Sugar Spikes Everyone needs to have an inner work practice. First, have a morning ritual and get centered. Another thing you can do is reduce the amount of carbohydrates that you eat. Also, don’t eat late at night! We're not designed to metabolize food while in bed. Give yourself three hours before you go to bed without eating. The fat will typically melt right off. [17:30] Jay Campbells Says That Metabolic Flexibility Is The Key To Longevity Staying in ketosis for the long term is not good. However, if you have a disease, you may need to stay in ketosis. The average person should not stay in ketosis because it screws up your insulin metabolism. Insulin suppression and regulation are the keys to long life. People that live the longest have the most efficient mitochondria. Overall, you want to remain metabolically flexible. By remaining metabolically flexible, your body will adapt and fuel it appropriately. [29:50] All About Peptides: Benefits And What You Need To Know Peptides are small protein bonded molecules that cause all sorts of enhancement to biological systems. There are peptides that increase healing, improve immunity, increase cognition, improve fat loss, and increase muscle building. Ipamorelin peptides are great for increasing endogenous growth hormone production without disturbing your current endogenous growth hormone production. As we age, we don’t make as much growth hormone. So, ipamorelin peptides are amazing! If you are using peptides correctly, there are no side effects. [39:45] There Are Only Two Ways To Get Your Peptides Right now, in the marketplace, the only option for peptides is through a doctor. Get a doctor to write you a script for a peptide that is FDA-approved. There are seven FDA-approved peptides. However, they are expensive. It is $4,500 a month to get peptides. The alternative is to buy peptides from research chemical companies. [45:00] How Jay Regrew His Nearly Bald Head Of Hair With Auxano Grow Up until 2019, Jay was almost bald. After two full months of using Auxano Grow, people thought that Jay had a hair transplant. With his company, Aseir, they help men and women heal skin and hair. Each Aseir Custom product contains a powerful 3% grade of Copper Peptide GHK-Cu. Plus, the products do not disrupt your hormones, and they do not cause any side effects. The products increase the flow of red blood cells to the localized tissue.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dorian Greenow. Dorian and Gemma launched Keto-Mojo in fall 2017, offering the first and only affordable, accurate blood ketone and glucose testing meter with a lifetime guarantee and .99¢ testing strips. Sidestepping big-pharma pricing and brick-and-mortar distribution, our products are sold directly to you, offering superior testing accuracy, unbeatable prices, and kick-ass customer service. Dorian and Gemma were quickly embraced by influencers and educators in the ketogenic community. Their goal is not only to sell meters. It’s to provide the information, tools, and understanding that people need to make the changes that will allow them to live longer, fuller – healthier lives. So in 2019, they launched a new website with vast amounts of keto information, recipes, and videos. All of the content is free and continues to grow. Expect more good things from Keto-Mojo as they work with keto communities around the world! Dorian opens up about his backstory in this episode and why he got started in the health space and eventually created Keto-Mojo. Dorian wants everyone to understand that Keto-Mojo is more than a meter; it's a lifestyle. Plus, Dorian explains why testing your ketones with urine strips and a breath analyzer simply does not work. Then, we talk about the optimal results you should be looking for with the Keto-Mojo Meter and understanding the data you receive. Finally, Dorian reveals the big news about MyMojoHealth.

His lifestyle started to have a pretty massive toll on his body. Dorian’s weight had ballooned way over 200 pounds. Plus, Dorian was on antidepressants, and his job was going terribly. A friend told Dorian to get away from the carbs. After diving into science, a low-carb diet made sense. Over a period of three months, his weight dropped off, and he got off all of the antidepressants. In 2017, Dorian and his wife lost their house. They used the last of their money to start Keto-Mojo. Now, they are dedicated to providing free content with Keto-Mojo. [05:50] Why You Should Start Testing Your Ketones Measurement is the first step that leads to control. Once you can control something, you can improve upon it. There are different types of tests between blood, breath, and urine. Blood is the gold standard. Why are you choosing to go on a ketogenic diet? When you learn your why, it will become a lot easier to follow the lifestyle. First, you’ll want to know if you’re in ketosis or if you’re not in ketosis. That way, you can tell what types of foods are kicking you out of ketosis. “Let the data drive you.” -Dorian   [16:50] The Reason You Shouldn’t Measure Ketones With Urine Strips With urine strips, you don’t get clear digital granularity. Also, it can be really affected by hydration. If the strip is dark, people think they are in ketosis. However, it most likely means that the person is dehydrated. In addition, the ketone breath analyzers are pretty much useless. They were originally designed for methane detection. To get acetone in the breath, you have a tiny level of resistance. Plus, there is no method of control for both the urine strips and the breath analyzers. [24:15] The Optimal Ranges You Want To Aim For With Your Results Nutritional ketosis starts around 0.5 – 1.52. Over 1.52 into 3 and 4 will be a deeper ketosis zone. With blood glucose, 80 – 100 is what you’re going for in the morning. When trying out new food, a 30 point rise should be concerning. Visit Keto-Mojo: https://keto-mojo.com/ [32:40] Will Coffee Break Your Fast? Use Data To Find Out Will you have a reaction to coffee? It depends on what you put in it. People need to become their own mentors by using data. Use data to guide your eating habits. That way, you can see whether or not certain foods are right for you. The person who's going to be most successful is the one who finds their path. Keto is a lifestyle; it’s not a diet. [35:45] Measuring The Maximum Autophagy State With GKI If you do a test within four minutes of each other - glucose and ketone test, and you download it to the Keto-Mojo app, which is free, it'll calculate the GKI. 6 – 9 is light nutritional ketosis. 3 – 6 is deep ketosis. 1 – 3 is a high therapeutic zone. 1 is really hard to get into. Ketones are actually human's default fuel source. Glucose was not meant to be our default. In nature, carbs are rare. We evolved as a species by eating meat. Burning fat is our primal birthright [45:10] MyMojoHealth Cloud Connects Data to Many Platforms MyMojoHealth just released: https://auth.us.mymojohealth.com/ MyMojoHealth is a secure, cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant data storage solution. They have started to interconnect with some of the best health apps that are on the market. Now, you can connect your health data to your doctor. It’s available in Europe and America.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Danielle Hamilton. In February of 2018, Danielle adopted a real-food, low-carb, high fat (keto) diet and began incorporating fasting (intermittent and prolonged). She can maintain a comfortable weight, and her skin is flawless. Danielle's periods are regular, and her PMS & cramps vanished. Danielle doesn't even bloat before my period anymore! After graduating as an NTP, Danielle decided that her mission is to help women discover and improve their blood sugar issues. Research suggests that 1 out of 3 adults has prediabetes. Of this group, 9 out of 10 don't know they have it. 29.1 million people in the United States have diabetes, but 8.1 million may be undiagnosed and unaware of their condition.   Danielle's mission is to help women uncover and improve their blood sugar issues so they can feel their best and live long and healthy lives. In this episode, Danielle reveals the inspiration behind her career as a health practitioner. Danielle started following a ketogenic lifestyle with fasting after suffering from severe allergies, ear infections, eczema, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Fortunately, Danielle was able to reverse her symptoms, including PCOS, completely. Danielle reveals why fasting will be crucial to making insulin hormones more sensitive. Plus, we chat about ditching industrial seed oils, processed carbs, and stress. Tune in as we talk about the importance your gallbladder has on your digestive process.

Sadly, Danielle was always spitting up - she had eczema, ear infections and needed to get her tonsils out. After removing her tonsils, Danielle developed tons of allergies and asthma. Sadly, she didn’t realize that tonsils were part of her immune system. Unfortunately, Danielle was getting five allergy shots three times a week! Plus, she was taking numerous medications and was on multiple inhalers. Danielle recommends reading The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet: https://www.amazon.com/Paleo-Solution-Original-Human-Diet/dp/0982565844/benazadi-20 Eventually, Danielle realized that she had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). So, she started eating keto and fasting and reversed her PCOS, allergies, and asthma.  [09:55] Why Fasting Is Crucial To Making Insulin Hormones More Sensitive Our bodies become resistant to things really fast. When there are insulin levels in the blood, your body is becoming resistant to it. Intermittent fasting is a really great way to help to lower insulin levels. That way, you can become more sensitive to insulin. Fasting is the number one way to improve our insulin sensitivity. [13:10] How Industrial Seed Oils Are Contributing To Insulin Resistance Industrial seed oils are directly causing insulin resistance. Here are the oils to look out for: Vegetable Oils Soy Sunflower Corn Canola Safflower Cottonseed Grapeseed Rice Bran They will cause your body to have insulin resistance and also block your body's own fat burning. As the fats become part of us, then they interfere with the body's ability to burn its own body fat. A lot of people are stuck because they have this toxic body fat from seed oils. [14:50] Why You Should Steer Away From Processed Carbs The more you process a carbohydrate, the more likely it is to spike your blood sugar because you’re removing the fiber. It’s better to eat fruit than a smoothie. In a smoothie, you have really pulverized that fiber. Any sort of carbohydrate that is has been processed is really going to spike your sugar. Plus, carbs are addictive. [17:30] The Problem With Snacking & Why It Could Be Damaging Your Health There is no such thing as a healthy snack. However, if you are working on actively healing your reactive hypoglycemia, you may need to eat more frequently. Most of the time, snack foods are high in carbohydrates. Even if your snacks are not high in carbs, then it will affect your blood sugar. Danielle says it’s better to have a dessert than it is to have a snack. Your body is not meant to digest food all day. [21:55] Building Muscle Will Be Critical For Insulin Sensitivity   When you build muscle, it becomes like a sink for insulin and glucose. Muscles are some of the first tissues and cells in the body to become insulin resistant after the fat cells. Muscle building activities are really good for insulin sensitivity because it creates more space. The intensity of the workout is really helpful for insulin sensitivity as well. Working out to fatigue is going to be something to help to build muscles and burn up all the excess glucose. [23:30] How To Improve Insulin Sensitivity With Relaxation And Meditation Stress will undo whatever you do nutritionally. Stress will cause cortisol. Then, cortisol will make you insulin resistant. Chronic stress will elevate blood sugar over time. So, set boundaries and cut relationships with toxic people. However, if you can’t change your circumstances, then you need to find time to get your body out of stress. Danielle loves to do breathing exercises. [34:10] How Does Improving Sleep Help With Improving Your Glucose And Insulin Levels? If you’re tired, you will automatically gravitate to higher glucose and carb-filled foods. Also, if you have insulin resistance and glucose dysregulation, you're going to have a hard time sleeping. So, it is a very multi-dimensional approach to improving your sleep. Tape your mouth, make sure your room is dark and improve your bedtime routine. Lastly, get outside in the morning and get sunshine on your face. [37:00] About The Amazing Gallbladder And Its Relationship With Fat Digestion We need digestion to work beautifully to see benefits in our health. The liver is dripping bile into our gallbladder. When meals come, we have a good amount of bile. The bile will act as dish soap. Its job is to emulsify the fats, so we can actually absorb them. If we are not breaking fats down, we can't absorb them. Do you have chronic constipation? Do greasy meals kind of run right through you? Those are all signs that your gallbladder needs some love and support, and attention. Stay calm at meals and chew your food to have a really good digestive experience and digestive process.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joel Evan. Before Joel became a coach for empowering people and sharing ‘biohacks’ across the globe, he had his share of obstacles to overcome. From having an abnormal bone growth in his leg as a young child, to feeling lost and with no sense of purpose after high school and college, to starting a business twice and failing, and being $20k in debt, Joel’s story is the perfect example of how anybody can overcome the obstacles in their life and achieve greatness. Fast forward a few short years, and Joel was featured in the hit Netflix show, A User’s Guide to Cheating Death, and launched his podcast The Hacked Life. He is a high performance life coach, a health coach, and speaker. He’s also a Neufit practitioner that uses a machine called a Neubie which utilizes a direct current electrical stimulation to provide the body the right signals, so your body has the opportunity to heal itself from injury, build muscle, and create good health. Joel is also a martial artist and a black belt in Tony Ramos Kajukenbo and has been training in various martial arts for over 20 years. Joel has been a first responder for over 13 years and understands the life threatening, high stake, stressful environment that debilitates many in the profession and has developed skills and systems to promote balance. While many are running away from the threat, Joel is running towards it. In this episode, Joel opens up about what inspired him to get into the health space. Sadly, Joel realized that our healthcare system only cares about the effects of something rather than a cause. So, Joel set out to help all sorts of people, specifically, weight loss for men. However, Joel doesn’t necessarily help men lose weight. Instead, he helps them transform their habits, lifestyle, and beliefs. Luckily, Joel gives us tips on creating lasting habits, controlling our beliefs, and he reveals his favorite biohacks. Tune in to hear Joel’s book recommendations.

The lack of that self-worth issue also fuels Joel and drives him to get better and do more. After having his first son, Joel saw that his son was not flourishing – it didn’t make sense. Joel knew there had to be a better way to be healthy. Sadly, our current health system only looks at the effects instead of the cause. “There are so many people suffering that shouldn't be, and that just drives me nuts.” -Joel Evan [07:30] What Joel Would Tell Someone To Focus On Who Is Trying To Get Healthy Joel likes to help men with weight loss. However, when you help somebody with weight loss, there are so many other things going on with that person. A lot of times, Joel will help people emotionally and who they become as a person after their weight loss. After seeing Joel, people have a complete transformation. It's not necessarily about hitting the goal, but who we become along the way. [10:50] Joel Reveals The Best Ways To Create Healthy Habits The first step in any kind of habit is you need to have awareness. Next, make your habits tiny, easy, and achievable. The fastest way to get to a habit is you want to anchor it to something that you're already doing. For instance, brushing your teeth is a great anchor because you do that every single day. If you want to start reading more, then after you brush your teeth, open up the book and close the book. That’s all you have to do! Eventually, you’ll start reading a page every night. Down the road, that page will turn into a chapter every night. [14:10] How Your Beliefs Are Playing A Role In Your Health Creating a lifestyle will require a foundation. You should be able to tune back in and align yourself with core fundamentals and then get back and do what you got to do. People don't realize how much their beliefs play a role in their health and day-to-day life. As you go about your day, ask yourself why you do what you do. People don’t question you because they are aligned with you. During Covid, people believed that if they didn't wear a mask, they would get sick. Well, if you take on that belief, you probably will get sick. Once you balance the body, the body can go and do whatever it wants. [22:10] Why Joel Recommends Wearing A Continuous Glucose Monitor If you're someone who is really interested in losing weight, then a CGM is the best way to get clean data on what foods are doing to you. Food sensitivities can have issues on the downstream effects in your body, cortisol, and anything like that. Joel loves coffee. However, it was pretty frightening to see what a cold brew coffee did to his blood glucose. Joel even saw 180 from drinking cold brew on his CGM. [29:50] Joel Reveals His Favorite Biohack - The NeuFit System The NeuFit System is one of Joel’s favorite biohacks. One of the most influential and transformative ways to help people recover from pain and injury is to work with something often overlooked in the traditional medical model - the nervous system. The NeuFit System uses technology to help the body become more efficient with its own processes. Sadly, traditional rehab and training often have poor results because there is not enough of the right type of stimulation. That’s why Joel loves NeuFit because our organs vibrate at a certain frequency or current. Joel recommends reading Frequency Specific Microcurrent in Pain Management: https://www.amazon.com/Frequency-Specific-Microcurrent-Management-2010-12-03/dp/B01K0TS16K/benazadi-20 Also, check out NeuFit: https://www.neu.fit/homeold  [36:45] The Top Four Books That Can Make An Impact On Your Life First, Joel recommends reading Keto Flex: The 4 Secrets to Reduce Inflammation, Burn Fat & Reboot Your Metabolism: https://www.amazon.com/Keto-Flex-Secrets-Inflammation-Metabolism-ebook/dp/B08YFM83DD/benazadi-20 Next, Joel recommends reading Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial: https://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Giant-Within-Immediate-Emotional-ebook/dp/B001EM101Q/benazadi-20 Lastly, Joel says to read The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed on Your Own Terms: https://www.amazon.com/Code-Extraordinary-Mind-Unconventional-Redefine-ebook/dp/B0182SMOBE/ref=sr_1_3?crid=PE8PBY2N176K&dchild=1&/benazadi-20 Bonus!

Certified by the National Board of Medical Examiners and the American Board of Urology, he is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons as well as the Philadelphia College of Physicians.

So, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in urology. Later, Dr. Sloane wanted to promote more wellness. As a urologist, it was a perfect fit. Also, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in age management medicine, functional medicine, and peptides. [07:20] What Dr. Sloane Looks At When Treating Erectile Dysfunction First, Dr. Sloane checks free and total testosterone levels. However, the first test is not accurate. Nitric oxide is a key molecule for erections. When you hit 50, your levels of nitric oxide getting produced by the endothelial in your body decline drastically. Nitric oxide is a very important molecule in terms of just overall cardiovascular health, especially with erections. Also, Dr. Sloane will have a conversation about diet and exercise with his patients. [10:05] How To Boost Nitric Oxide Without Supplementation Diet is a big one when it comes to increasing nitric oxide levels. Sloane recommends adding these foods to your diet: Arugula Beets Bok choy After adding those foods to your diets, there are some other ways to improve nitric oxide levels: Exercise Good sleep Nose breathing [12:45] What You Can Do To Improve Your Prostate Health Lots of greens are going to be good for your prostate. A good diet with minimal sugar and carbs will be good for your prostate health. Sloane recommends checking out these supplements: https://theralogix.com/ Prostate cancer is genetically related. So make sure that you are getting tested regularly. Genetic screening and genetic counseling could be a great way of prevention.   [19:55] How Porn Brain Is Affecting Our Quality of Life Porn brain has been debated; some people do not feel that exists. However, Dr. Sloane says that porn is addicting. Men have to mimic the porn in their real sexual life, but they can't. So, they have a hard time getting turned on. Plus, porn leads to desensitization. Even with Instagram, it’s an unattainable goal and a real issue. [22:50] All About GAINSWave And The Benefits of Using It GAINSWave is the premium brand of extracorporeal shockwave therapy for ED, performed by our network of highly-trained medical providers. It has been used in Europe for many years. The waves will break up any blockages the blood vessels have. Most of the time, ED is a blood vessel problem. GAINSWave will increase blood flow to the penis. It works about 75-80% of the time, and it's not covered by insurance. The worst thing that can happen is that it does not work. You have to be in good health in order to respond to GAINSWave. Learn more about GAINSWave: https://gainswave.com/ [30:15] The Role That Sleep Plays When It Comes To Your Sexual Health Sleep is a big deal. You have to maximize sleep as good as you can for what your body needs. We have to gear the conversation of sleep to your sleep habits. If you have poor sleep habits, you will run into problems. Sleep problems will make sexual issues worse.   [34:40] The Reasons That Dr. Sloane Is Such A Big Fan of Peptides   There are certain peptides, when given to the body, make your body do what it should be doing that it's not doing right now. So peptides could make your body create growth hormones. Peptides are signaling molecules. You can use peptides for healing and inflammation.   [37:20] The Four Main Things You Should Do After Listening To This Episode Stop using Google for everything. Eat real food. Exercise regularly. Personal development. Keep yourself thinking and stay ahead – don’t get lazy.

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. 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.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Lauren Sambataro and Renee Belz. Lauren and Renee grew up in a health-driven family that prioritized the fundamentals of wellness and self-care (don’t worry, there was lots of mac n’ cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!). Their father, Gene Sambataro, The Original Biohacker and pioneer of Holistic Dentistry, taught them the importance of individualization and experimentation from a very young age. Coming together as health entrepreneurs, Renee a Certified Nutritional Consultant and Holistic Lifestyle Coach with a Master’s degree in Nutrition, and Lauren, a Broadway performer, Corrective Exercise specialist and Functional Health Coach, feel a strong passion and drive to not only share each of their journeys towards wellness, but their strategy and motivation to discover our unique bodies through the world of biohacking. Their podcast, the Biohacker Babes, aims to create insight into the body’s natural healing abilities, strengthen your intuition, and empower you with techniques and modalities to optimize your health and wellness. In this episode, Lauren and Renee reveal how they got into the biohacking space. Then, we jump right into why stabilizing blood sugar levels is critical for your weight loss journey. Lauren and Renee also discuss other essential tools for your overall health journey, like increasing thermogenesis, building lean muscle mass, and supporting fatty acid metabolism. Lastly, Lauren and Renee speak about the importance of decreasing inflammation in your body to enjoy the efforts of biohacking. 90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

They joked that he was doing bizarre things in the living room. Their dad was experimenting and open to ways that affect his biology, health, and longevity. He would utilize vibration plates and infrared saunas way before they became popular. Eventually, they started paying attention to their own bodies and started to notice what biohacks work best with their bodies. “Now I'm 34, and I feel better now than I did when I was 24.” -Renee   [10:15] Renee and Lauren Give Their Definitions of Biohacking The definition of biohacking changes all of the time. In fact, there's a lot of misconceptions about biohacking. However, biohacking is more for women than men because women are more complex. Biohacking is disrupting a pattern. It also is anything that helps you control your biology. Plus, biohacking can come from two different directions. You can biohack your way out of an illness, or you biohack your way into a thriving lifespan. Biohacking will optimize the aging process. [15:00] Why Stabilizing Blood Sugar Levels Is Important For Losing Weight We have stressors coming at us left and right, not just from food but from emotional stuff and environmental stuff. Renee and Lauren have both really gotten into the blood glucose testing because it is a huge variable that's overlooked. We are designed to be fat-burning machines and go extended periods of time without food. Just like you need exercise recovery, you need recovery from eating. Blood sugar is a sign that there's inflammation in the body. Nothing in the body will be in balance if there is inflammation. When we have too much glucose, we end up storing more fat that we end up burning. [17:20] All About Increasing Thermogenesis In The Body We rarely experience extreme temperatures. When we hit cold temperatures, it helps us to tap into the fat to actually burn. Shivering and cold plunges can increase your thermogenesis – your ability to burn fat to keep you warm. Green tea extract is a supplement that can also help increase your thermogenesis. Humans had to learn how to survive in thirty-degree weather. If we use these genes to our benefit, we can become fat-burning machines. [19:00] How To Support Fatty Acid Metabolism & Why It’s Critical A lot of people have mitochondrial dysfunction. Sadly, our mitochondria are under attack. With mitochondrial dysfunction, you're not able to burn fat the way that we're designed to. Carnitine can be really helpful in adjusting that mitochondrial dysfunction. Organic Acids Test is great to look at your fatty acid metabolism. [22:35] The Best Ways To Increase Lean Muscle Mass Through Exercise The best way to increase lean muscle mass is to lift heavy things. Women should not be afraid to lift heavy things – we need muscle. Plus, muscle is great for brain health, longevity, and mood. Renee likes to use creatine and amino acids to help increase lean muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have, the easier it is to burn fat when you’re just sitting around. [29:45] Some of The Best Ways That You Can Reduce Belly Fat To reduce belly fat, you have to remove inflammation. One way to reduce inflammation is by cutting out industrial seed oils. You really have to pull back on all of these chronic stressors. Once you have reduced the stress, then you can get in there, move things around, and make some changes. If you're skipping the fundamentals, then no biohack is going to work. [31:20] Why Poor Vagal Tone Will Lead To Brain Fog Vagal tone is a measure of cardiovascular function that facilitates adaptive responses to environmental challenges. If you are in sympathetic overdrive all day, you will suffer from brain fog. A lot of people don't realize they're in this sympathetic state all day. Our bodies aren't meant to be in that state all the time. It’s our fight or flight mode - all the blood goes to our arms or legs, so we can run or fight. To support the vagal tone, you can gargle, hum, or sing. [36:50] Neural Inflammation Can Also Be Causing Your Brain Fog Chronic inflammation throughout the entire body is aging us; it's making us feel sick, tired, and fat. Our brain can be inflamed as well as other parts of our body. If your brain is inflamed, your gut is inflamed. Plus, you will have brain fog. So, target inflammation from a whole-body perspective. To control inflammation, stop ingesting these industrial seed oils. [42:00] Actionable Steps You Can Take Today To Decrease Your Toxic Load Look at your personal care products and find more natural and organic products. It’s the same thing with cleaning products. Find more organic products to clean your home with. Look at the EWG website: https://www.ewg.org/ On the EWG website, you can look up how toxic the products are that you buy. Clean water will be critical to decrease your toxic load – find a reliable filter.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Kara Collier, RDN, LDN, CNSC. Kara is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist (LDN), and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC) who specializes in glucose control and metabolism. She graduated from Purdue University and previously worked at Memphis VA Medical Center, as a clinical dietitian at Providence Hospital, and in a management role at Nutritionix.

As a dietician, Kara loves to help people with their lifestyle-related chronic conditions in a meaningful way.

She started her career in nutrition by working in the ICU. Many people came into the ICU for lifestyle-related chronic conditions. For instance, people would be in the ICU due to an urgent amputation because of uncontrolled diabetes. At the ICU, Kara would see really severe problems that could have been prevented in the first place. So, Kara wanted to catch these issues way earlier in a way that was meaningful. After discovering CGMs, Kara realized how powerful of a tool they are for multiple reasons: They give us continuous insight into our metabolic health. CGMs are motivating for people. Lastly, the data you receive is personalized and actually works!   [06:35] What You Need To Know Before Getting A CGM The CGM is a small device, about the size of a quarter. It’s a medical device, so you need a prescription in order to receive it from your doctor. Sadly, they're most likely not going to do it unless you're a diabetic case. If you're generally a healthy person who wants to stay healthy, the chances of your doctor writing you a prescription is slim to none. The device goes on the back of the arm, you push the button, and it’s in there. It uses a needle for insertion. The needle is removed, and the only thing that's left below the surface of your skin is a flexible microfilament. The devices are factory calibrated, so there's no blood needing to be drawn. [10:45] What Should Your Blood Glucose Levels Be? When you’re thinking about fasting glucose, Kara recommends 70 to 90 range milligrams per deciliter. If you Google, “what's a healthy fasting glucose level?” It will probably tell you 70 to 100. There is research that indicates when we get to that 90 to 100 range, we're starting to see some increased risks. Shoot for 70 – 90 most of the time. After a meal, we want to see it returned back to baseline values, usually in that two-hour mark. Check how high your levels went after you ate – aim for 140 or less. On a keto diet, it shouldn’t go above 120. [15:00] Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses And Non-Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses After Exercise Our glucose can spike, and our body can deal with that glucose spike without utilizing insulin. The spike we get from exercise happens after a very high-intensity workout, or you're doing something rather strenuous. It makes sense that you're going to have a glucose spike because your current supply of energy in the body is not enough to meet the demands that you're placing it under. With exercise, we're simulating stress hormones, but we're also breaking down glycogen stores. The exercise is demanding energy, and it's getting used right away. The reason your body is stimulating a glucose response with high-intensity exercise is that it needs it. [20:35] When You Are Chronically Sleep Deprived, You Will Have Higher Levels of Cortisol The Next Morning When we think about optimizing glucose values, we always talk about diet, exercise, stress, and sleep; they're equal components of the picture. Sleep is something we really have to pay attention to. Poor glucose levels will affect the quality of your sleep. Also, a bad night of sleep is definitely going to affect your glucose values the next day. [24:30] What Happens When You Break A Fast With A High Carbohydrate Meal There's a lot of psychology that goes on with fasting – people will have a cheat meal after fasting. When you do that, you ruin most of the benefits. If you break a fast with carbs, you can see glucose levels higher than they've ever been for two days straight. Eating carbs after a fast is not a good strategy. Instead, break a fast with protein. The longer the fast, the stricter you want to be. [26:40] Why You Should Go For A Walk After You Eat A Meal   Walking after a meal can really dramatically stabilize glucose values. Most of our circulating glucose in the system is going to get picked up by the skeletal muscle. Gently stimulating your muscles and moving can make a really big difference. Walking is also good for mental health and stress reduction. [28:30] Other Biohacks You Can Do To Decrease Glucose Levels Cold and heat exposure work in different ways. Both will lower glucose over time. Cold therapy will stimulate brown fat. When you're hot and sweating a lot, that might cause the glucose to be elevated during the sauna session, but it should lower glucose values overall later in the day. The benefits we get from exercising can be duplicated when we also are doing sauna therapy. In addition, berberine is the most beneficial supplement for lowering glucose values. Plus, apple cider vinegar will help lower glucose values. Try a little bit of vinegar with water before a meal. You can also drizzle it on a salad. [33:30] The Dawn Phenomenon: What You Can Do About It You're going to potentially see a little bit of a glucose bump in the early morning hours. For most people, that occurs between about 4 to 8 am. It’s your body’s natural alarm clock. For some people, when they first wake up, glucose levels are highest in the day. There is no evidence to suggest that this glucose bump is a bad thing.
