Chris Irvin | Shocking benefits of the carnivore diet with The Ketologist KKP: 219
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Chris Irvin, a nutrition researcher, writer, and educator. He holds a master's degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science and is currently the education manager for Perfect Keto. During his time in grad school, Chris began to see the keto industry growing. Chris was in big support of this industry growth because he thinks a robust industry can support good research, but with so many companies coming on the scene just trying to make a buck, Chris became discouraged and kept his distance. After spending a couple of years researching and developing content about keto, Chris decided to start looking more into the keto industry because he wanted to bring more research and education into the industry. Fortunately, Perfect Keto was looking for someone to improve research and education within their company, something they were already doing very well! Chris was already a big fan of Dr. Anthony Gustin and the quality products he was making at Perfect Keto, so it ended up making a great fit. Now Chris focuses on learning and educating the masses on the ketogenic diet through The Ketologist and Perfect Keto! In this episode, Chris Irvin opens the show speaking about his journey to the keto diet and eventually the carnivore diet. First, we talk about how ketosis can actually help you build muscle despite people thinking insulin is required for muscle growth. In fact, ketones can stimulate muscle growth. Later, we dive deep into the carnivore diet. Chris explains how he found the carnivore diet, why the carnivore diet is beneficial for our gut, and if the carnivore diet is sustainable long-term. Tune in as Keto Kamp members join the show to ask Chris questions about supplements and what to pay attention to when trying the carnivore diet. // 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. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [02:00] About Chris Irvin Chris found the keto diet at age 24. At grad school, he learned about the benefits of keto from a sports perspective. When Chris tried keto, he didn't feel that great. However, after a few days, Chris started to feel energized. During his research at grad school, Chris got to look at how keto would affect athletic performance. If you want to learn about the therapeutic effects of keto, Chris recommends reading Tripping over the Truth: https://www.amazon.com/Tripping-over-Truth-Overturning-Entrenched/dp/1603587292/benazadi-20
Chris became frustrated that all this research was available, but people didn’t have access to it. So, Chris decided to start making content to educate the masses on the ketogenic diet. [16:45] How Ketosis Helps You Build Muscle People think carbohydrates and insulin are required for muscle growth. However, you don’t have to have them. There are other ways that you can stimulate muscle growth. Ketones are muscle-sparing. You don’t lose muscle with ketosis. Ketones can also stimulate muscle growth by activating muscle proteins. Getting enough protein will be essential for muscle growth, especially for men. Even for people who aren’t focused on gaining muscle, there should be a focus on retaining muscle. Chronic diseases will destroy our health through muscle loss – so increase your protein intake. [21:00] How Chris Got Into Carnivore Chris tried carnivore about two and a half years ago. At first, Chris didn’t think an all-meat diet would be beneficial for people. After trying carnivore, he loved the way that he felt. It also changed the way that he looks at nutrition because he now prioritizes quality meat. Chris found that the carnivore diet gives him more strength in the gym, improves his productivity, decreases his hunger, improves his body composition, and even increases his ketone levels. After seeing the stories and hearing so many people who get excellent benefits from a carnivore diet, Chris thinks people can decide if it's the right fit for them. [26:40] Getting Vitamins And Minerals Through The Carnivore Diet Surprisingly, there are loads of nutrients in red meat. People think that plants provide us with essential micronutrients, and cutting them out will lead to deficiencies. However, micronutrients in plants are poorly absorbed in humans. Ketones are able to provide the benefits that vitamin C does. Plus, your demand for vitamin C will be less when you’re in ketosis. You need lots of vitamins on the standard American diet; your body doesn’t need as many vitamins in a carnivore diet. [31:45] Repairing The Gut With Carnivore Gut health will improve with the carnivore diet for two reasons: Plants contain compounds that are toxic, and they can wreak havoc on our bodies. Some people are sensitive to these plants from overconsumption. So, when we eliminate those plants, the gut can start to heal through carnivore. Meat will provide nutrients to help with the repair of your gut. It can repair the lining of your gut and the structure of your gut. Thus, reducing leaky gut syndrome. [38:20] Is The Carnivore Diet Sustainable? The carnivore diet is sustainable for an extended period of time. There is no reason to think that this diet is going to be bad for us. If you’re talking about sustainability for enjoying the diet, then it depends on the person. For someone who likes to cook and needs more flavor, the carnivore diet can be a bit boring. People can benefit from the carnivore as a diet as a tool in their toolbelt. Use the diet in four to six-week blocks. You can join The Carnivore Reset Challenge: https://meatreset.com. [52:20] Supplements For The Carnivore Diet Electrolytes will be a necessity on the carnivore diet. Find a powder or a capsule electrolyte supplement. [56:00] Repairing The Gut After Antibiotics The longer you’ve been taking antibiotics, the more damage that has occurred in your gut. In most cases, there is a two-week minimum to try the carnivore diet to see how your digestion is responding. Impaired gut health will zap your energy and prevent you from feeling great. If you’re not feeling great on carnivore, then you need to stick with it longer. [59:20] Feeling Better On Carnivore There should be a noticeable change that your quality of life is better on the carnivore diet. When you’re healthy, you’ll feel better. Digestion should improve. You won’t feel bloated or nauseous after meals. More energy and more mental clarity will also be a sign that the carnivore diet is working. AND MUCH MORE!

How to heal your body with frequencies with Sara Banta - KKP: 217
Today, I am blessed to have Sara Banta, a Health Coach and busy mother of three whose children are now 14, 16, and 18 years old. Sara completed her undergraduate studies at Stanford University with a degree in Economics and Psychology in 1998. In 2016, she graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and The Invincible Wellness System. Through her journey, she has had to solve many health issues within her family, including her son suffering from leukemia at the age of nine, her daughter having allergies, anemia, and asthma, her husband having heart issues, her other daughter having comprehension and learning issues, in addition to headaches. This, of course, is on top of her own issues with fertility, hormones, adult acne, IBS, digestive issues, heavy metals and much more. She has had to connect the dots and realize what was causing all these issues and what the solutions were, which also of course involved the mind-body connection. A lot of the same solutions that heal the gut or the brain are the solutions that help achieve weight loss, improve fitness and restore metabolic health. With that, she has devoted her life to providing guidance and all-natural health supplements and solutions that heal the body and the root problems, not just addressing the symptoms. In this episode, Sara Banta opens the show by sharing her and her son's health journey. After her son's leukemia diagnosis, Sara's family went on a massive health journey. Eventually, that journey led Sara to create Accelerated Health Products to help other people heal. Plus, Sara speaks about how keto can be used as a health tool, and she gives hacks on how to avoid the keto flu. Later, we talk about frequency-based healing and the ways that Accelerated Scalar Silver can change your life. Tune in as Sara reveals the importance of overcoming iodine deficiency and why you need to try the Genius Insight Biofeedback App. SPECIAL OFFER: JOIN THE KETO KAMP ACADEMY FOR 50% OFF.

She had zero energy, and her stomach was bloated with food. Doctors couldn’t give her any answers. After finding a natural practitioner, she realized that healing would involve a mind-body connection. Later, Sara found out her son had leukemia. Sara decided to put all of her energy into healing her son. Doctors simply don’t have the time to help everyone heal. After cutting the processed foods and sugars, Sara and her son were on a healing journey together. Eventually, Sara created Accelerated Health Products to help other people heal: https://acceleratedhealthproducts.com/ahp/ketokamp/ use the coupon code KETOKAMP15 for 15% off. [19:20] Using Keto As A Health Tool A lot of people progress from paleo to keto. That way, you won’t hit the keto flu as much. Also, endogenous ketones are a great tool to get yourself into ketosis without the keto flu. Intermittent fasting is essential to incorporate in a ketogenic lifestyle; that way, ketosis is easier to achieve. Sara focuses on supplements and tools to get her into ketosis quicker. Most people walk around with leaky gut. It's easy to have with the toxins that we are exposed to daily. On Sara’s keto journey, she realized that she and her children are all individuals, needing different diets. Even though Sara is on keto, she has a challenging time processing fat. Sara will focus on high protein. She eats less fat than a typical person who is on keto. You don’t need to be in ketosis 24/7, especially for females. Going in and out of ketosis will be helpful for the metabolism. [25:50] About Frequency-Based Healing There are frequency-based machines that can heal the human body. For instance, the Genius Insight Biofeedback App is a great tool. It combines a patented Voice Spectral Analysis together with a series of highly effective alternative healing modalities.

Should you cut calories on the ketogenic diet? Keto macros explained - Ben Azadi KKP: 216

This video reveals that calories do matter, but they aren't important. Focusing on calories is a distraction to what truly matters, hormones and cell metabolism. What Ben Azadi, founder of Keto Kamp, teaches is to focus on the two macros instead, carbohydrates and protein. Keep your total carbohydrates below 50 grams for the day. Of course, you want these keto carb macros to be from high quality sources. Aim to consume 40-50 grams of quality animal protein with each meal. When you pair intermittent fasting with keto, you most likely will end up cutting calories; but, there's a big difference when you do it with fasting vs not. This video explains the difference as it comes down to counter regulatory hormones. ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎓 Join the Keto Kamp Membership for only $5!: http://www.startketokap.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. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off// R E S O U R C E S ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ➡️The World's Best Olive Oil | Get a $39 Bottle For a $1: http://www.ketokampoliveoil.com ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off ➡️Keto Kamp Apparel: http://www.ketokampgear.com *Some Links Are Affiliates* // F O L L O W ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

It is estimated that autophagy starts during the 16 hour mark of a fast, this is also dependent on whether or not you go into the fast in ketosis or not. When you go into your fast being in ketosis, you'll activate autophagy faster. On your autophagy fasting days, when you do eat to break the fast, it is important to keep total protein for the day under 20 grams. This is the time to increase your healthy fats. Here are my favorite fats to break your autophagy fast with... Grass fed butter or ghee Coconut oil Olives and olive oil Avocados Nut butters Here are 2 ways to practice autophagy fasting during the week. Option #1 An 18/6 autophagy fasting schedule This means 18 hours out of the 24 hour period you are in the fasted state. You only consume water with sea salt here. You break the fast with mostly fasts. Then have your two meals within your 6 hour eating window. The first meal should have less than 20 grams of total protein. The second meal at the 24 hour mark is where you consume the rest of your protein which will stop the autophagy. I like this method 2-3 times per week, depending on how much extra body fat you have on you. Option #2 A 32/16 autophagy fasting schedule This approach is more aggressive, and is best for those with more than 20 pounds of excess body weight that you want to lose. Here's how it works... 32 hour fast with only water and sea salt. You break the fast with mostly fasts, keeping total protein here under 20 grams. The following meal will be 4 hours later where you can consume more protein. This can be done 1-2 times per week. It is important to balance autophagy with mTor, and I explain the difference between these two pathways in this video. ⏱️ The Art of Fasting Webinar.

Gary Taubes | The Case for Keto, The Science & Practice of High Fat Low Carb KKP: 214
Today, I am blessed to have here with me an investigative science and health journalist and co-founder of the non-profit Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI.org), Gary Taubes. He is the author of The Case Against Sugar (2016), Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It (2011), and Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007), published as The Diet Delusion in the UK. Taubes is the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research and has won numerous other journalism awards. These include the International Health Reporting Award from the Pan American Health Organization and the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Journalism Award, which he won in 1996, 1999, and 2001. (He is the first print journalist to win this award three times.) Taubes graduated from Harvard College in 1977 with an SB degree in applied physics and received an MS degree in engineering from Stanford University (1978) and in journalism from Columbia University (1981). In this episode, Gary Taubes joins the show to speak about his work shining a light on bad science in the nutritional realm. After publishing What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?, Gary faced loads of backlash. However, that didn’t stop him. Gary has published countless books about why we need to ditch carbs, stop eating sugar, and start eating fats. Gary speaks about the inspiration behind his book, The Case For Keto. After interviewing 120 doctors from around the world that recommend the keto lifestyle, his book talks about why the established rules about eating healthy might be the wrong approach to weight loss. Tune in as we talk about why calories in, calories out is a terrible way to lose weight. ⏱️ The Art of Fasting Webinar.

He found a disconnect between medical research and public research. The disconnect is especially terrible in the nutritional world. After reporting about the DASH diet study, Gary found that eating a low-sodium diet wouldn’t help lower your blood pressure. Then, Gary decided to start researching the low-fat diet. Gary keeps exploring different aspects of nutrition by shining a flashlight on dark science. [06:50] The Backlash From Gary’s Work Gary found that fat doesn’t make you fat; it’s carbs. After the New York Times ran his story, What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?, there was a massive uproar. Gary even lost a few friends because of the article. People thought Gary made the research up to get a book deal. All sorts of magazines did take-downs of Gary. When Gary’s first book came out, there was still an uproar. People assume that he’s a quack. [20:35] About The Case For Keto Carbs are the reason that you get obese. However, the counterargument is always Asia. These people have lived primarily on rice. The answer is that they are low sugar consumers. After we discovered insulin, people thought they needed carbs to balance the insulin. Insulin and carbs should not be the answer to people with diabetes. Doctors will argue that patients do not want to give up carbs. However, most doctors agree that their patients should not be eating sweets. As keto started to catch on in mainstream media, Gary knew he needed to create a book for people who are trying keto for the first time. For his book, Gary interviewed about 120 doctors from all over the world. [37:35] Being In Ketosis Long-Term Gary interviewed 120 doctors from all over the world; most of them don’t care if people are in ketosis long-term. These doctors are mostly concerned with people getting off of carbs. Ben says that it is healthy to reset the metabolism and work on carb-cycling. [43:45] Why Calories In, Calories Out Is A Terrible Way To Lose Weight You can starve yourself and lose weight – however, you will be starving all of the time, and it’s not sustainable. The idea that people get fat because they overeat is a thin person’s perspective on obesity. However, it’s a tautology. Insulin tells your body to store calories as fat. By the end of the 1960s, it was clear that people who are obese tend to be insulin resistant; carbs stimulate insulin, which tells your body to store fat. Overall, people with obesity don’t respond normally to insulin. AND MUCH MORE! Resources from this episode: Check out Gary’s Website: http://garytaubes.com

Jeremy Abramson | The 6 Pillars to a Healthy and Happy Life - KKP: 213
Today, I am blessed to have a Chief ENERGY Officer and Community Cultivator, Jeremy Abramson. His mission is to energize, educate, and empower you to unleash your full potential. Jeremy is the host of Thrive University. He believes that EVERYONE deserves access to higher education. FOR FREE. Jeremy is committed to educating and empowering you with the tools and knowledge you need to live your happiest and healthiest life. Jeremy brings you the most knowledgeable and inspiring leaders in health, wellness, spirituality, mindset, and entrepreneurship. As a philanthropist, he makes giving back a priority, talking to youth at several local nonprofit. In 2017, he partnered with Maison Fortuné Orphanage in Haiti and returned for a second trip the following year. As his business and digital following continue to build, his influence follows. In January 2019, he rolled out his first highly anticipated online program, CLIMB. The program aims to optimize your human experience through habit change and self-awareness. It has already been recognized as one of the most impactful coaching programs in the industry. In this episode, Jeremy opens the show by revealing why it’s critical to clarify your values. Once you understand your values clearly, then you can act accordingly. Jeremy explains why comparing yourself to others is utterly pointless. Instead, we need to realize that our journey is unique, and everyone progresses at different times in different ways. Then, Jeremy dives into how to create your dream life by following his acronym THRIVE: thoughts, habits, relationships, intentions, vitality, and enthusiasm. Tune in as Anthony Lizardi joins the show to ask Jeremy about motivation and positive thinking. ⏱️ The Art of Fasting Webinar.

That will lead us to behave in ways that don’t align with our core values or vision. People should get clear on what matters to them. Once you have clarity, you can identify what is out of alignment. Next, figure out where your limiting beliefs come from. Usually, they come from your early childhood. Your subconscious programming is set in stone from your first seven years of life. However, you have the ability to rewrite the stories that you tell yourself. No longer do people have to be a victim of their past.
[08:10] Stop Comparing Yourself To Others Instead of comparing yourself to others, turn it into inspiration. We compare ourselves to people who are in a completely different space. Everyone progresses at a different level. So, we need to understand our superpowers and our uniqueness. That way, you will understand how the journey is different for everyone. We tend to be our harshest critic. Focus on progress, build confidence, and establish momentum. [13:10] How To Create Your Dream Life The average American is overweight, depressed, and in debt. Average is something that Jeremy stays very far away from. There are six components to creating your dream life: Thoughts Turn off the news Create an affirmation before you go to bed Stop judging yourself so harshly Habits Our habits decide our future Have an accountability checklist Tie every action with a feeling or emotion Relationships It’s powerful to have relationships in your life that level you up People think it’s lonely at the top; however, it doesn’t have to be Find people who inspire you and challenge you Intention Bring more intention and presence into everything you’re doing It will give you a guide on what not to do Be fully present and fully engaged Vitality Your thoughts and habits will either fuel you or strip your energy away What do the first 30 minutes of your day look like? Focused energy and attention is our most valuable commodity Enthusiasm Do what you love Now more than ever, the world needs positive leaders Enthusiasm is more important than knowledge and experience [49:50] Finding Motivation Motivation will get you started. However, motivation is not permanent. Motivation is a product of momentum. To establish momentum, stack small habits. Make your first hour and last hour of the day belong to you. Work on journaling. [53:55] Creating Positive Thoughts Find the source of your negative thoughts. They come from somewhere, someone instilled them inside of you. Do the work. It can be uncomfortable. AND MUCH MORE!

Follow this routine 5 times per week so you can target belly fat, and spot reduce love handles. Yes, you can spot reduce, and this video shows you the science behind it. Tip number 1 consume green tea on an empty stomach. Green tea contains catechins, and research shows green tea can help you lose weight especially around stomach fat and love handles. 🤓 [STUDY] https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/1... My favorite green tea products: Yogi: https://amzn.to/3oo83pO Pique: https://amzn.to/3mNkLhK Tip number 2 excise on empty stomach start with core. It's true, hiit workout for fat loss is a powerful tool to get rid of love handles. The reason we start the workout with core is to deliver blood flow to your stomach fat, belly fat and love handles; follow this with a hiit workout and you'll get more fat loss in your stomach area. These are the best workouts to lose belly fat. Workout on an empty stomach, and begin the workout with 10 minute of core (abdominal work). Tabata planks, butterfly sit ups, hollow body rocks. Then burst training focusing on a lot of squats. For more check out GC3 Fitness: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZT-... Tip number 3 continue fasting for 2-5+ hours. Fasting is a great way to help you lose belly fat, for men and women. When the workout is done, continue fasting so you can raise human growth hormone which is a powerful fat burning hormone. Tip number 4 cold exposure. Does cold exposure help you lose weight; the science says YES! Here are ways to accomplish this. Cold showers Walking outside without a jacket when it’s cold Polar plunging into a cold lake or ocean Ice bath Ice pack on your shoulder blades while you watch T.V. or read a book Studies: 🤓 [1] Cypess, A.

Dr Ann Barter | How to Balance Neurotransmitters in the Brain Naturally - KKP: 210
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Ann-Marie Barter, a chiropractor who serves Niwot, Longmont, Boulder, Lyons, Louisville, Lafayette and the surrounding communities in the Denver Metro Area. Dr. Ann graduated from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, an accredited 4 year Doctoral program that is considered a leader in evidence-based medicine, and the first Chiropractic school to be awarded a federal research grant. Dr. Ann underwent rigorous clinical training with some of the finest chiropractors. Dr. Ann has also undergone advanced training in Applied Kinesiology, completing over 400 extra classroom hours and is certified to practice Applied Kinesiology. She has also studied Functional Blood Chemistry under Dr. Kharrazian. Dr. Ann also hosts The Fearless Health Podcast. The show is dedicated to all thing’s natural health and wellness. Whether it be alternative and functional medicine, structural, spiritual, or fitness and nutrition, Dr. Ann will cover it based on her experiences in practice over the last ten years or with the help of special guests and curated interviews. In this episode, Dr. Ann talks all about neurotransmitters. First, she explains that neurotransmitters are the messengers in our body; they are crucial to our overall health and happiness. If you're curious about how well your neurotransmitters are working, Dr. Ann recommends getting an Organic Acids Test (OAT) done. Plus, Dr. Ann reveals which supplements she recommends to her patients struggling with dopamine levels. Tune in as we talk about the effect carbs will have on dopamine and why ketosis is so essential for our neurotransmitter health. ⏱️ The Art of Fasting Webinar.

She didn’t feel well, but the doctor told her she was normal. One day, Dr. Ann had terrible stomach pain, she went to a different doctor. It turns out, Dr. Ann’s appendix exploded. Later, Dr. Ann had severe hives that sent her to the emergency room. No one talked to her about diet. So, she sought care from natural providers. They spoke to her about diet, environmental pollutants, and hormones.
[05:15] Why Dr. Ann Loves Neurotransmitters Ann meets patients who just can’t change their diets. Person after person, Dr. Ann wanted to know what was going on. She started to run tests on herself and found out her neurotransmitters were in the toilet. Dr. Ann was exposed to black mold, it was contributing to a lot of her problems. When she found the black mold, Dr. Ann moved out. [09:15] About Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters are messengers for your body. They work in the brain and make us feel good. However, they also run digestion, muscle coordination, and other functions. When we think about adrenal health, dopamine shares a pathway with our fight or flight chemicals. It’s associated with our adrenal health. Sometimes when someone is exhausted, it could be dopamine depletion. Dopamine can become depleted for a variety of reasons. Some people do not methylate correctly. Chronic stress can also deplete dopamine. [11:45] How Methylation Works You need certain chemicals to make the dopamine conversion. There is a test to figure out how your pathways are working. If you don’t have the nutrients to run a pathway, it might not be a methylation issue. Make sure that you are running the pathway appropriately. Not having the right nutrients can cause stress. When Dr. Ann runs testing, people are depleted in Vitamin C, B6, and magnesium. It can be as simple as supporting the body with some nutrients so the pathway can run better. [16:15] Getting The Organic Acids Test There are other tests, but Dr. Ann uses an Organic Acids Test. This test is fantastic because it can check for black mold. Before taking the test, do a glutathione challenge. If someone has dopamine depletion, it could be related to something they have been exposed to. [22:00] Recommending Supplements When someone goes to see Dr. Ann, they have poor gut health. That’s why Dr. Ann will recommend supplements. If you are chronically iron deficient, then something in the gut could be creating inflammation. Ann would like to kill critters before supplementing. If you can optimize your gut, you can get the necessary vitamins and minerals through your food. Ann will give a product that has B6, B9, B12, and B2. However, she checks with the individual where they are high and where they are low. [24:40] How Carbs Will Affect Our Dopamine When someone wants carbs to feel satisfied, they could go overboard. Processed carbs make our neurotransmitters pop up and crash even lower than before. When you have been overeating carbs, you try and increase your dopamine levels. However, the dopamine will be lower than they were before. [33:10] The Benefits Of Ketosis On Neurotransmitters All hormones rise in ketosis. Being in ketosis is beneficial for neurotransmitters as long as you are not too depleted. If someone is starving themselves, then it may not be beneficial for neurotransmitters. As a general rule, fasting is good for neurotransmitters. [39:20] The Best Foods For Neurotransmitters You want proteins! Vegetables and fats are also essential. Nuts and seeds will help with your neurotransmitters as well. [50:40] How To Know What You’re Lacking Run an Organic Acids Test (OAT) to see what’s going on. It’s a urine test. [52:40] Increasing Glutathione Ann will give it to her patients straight – it is critical for overall health. Also, Dr. Ann recommends a glutathione liposomal. AND MUCH MORE!
