With a 24 hour fast, MIT research shows you can reboot your digestive system with stem cells. According to research from MIT biologists, this age-related loss of stem cell function can be reversed by a 24-hour fast. The researchers found that fasting dramatically improves stem cells’ ability to regenerate, in both aged and young mice. “Fasting has many effects in the intestine, which include boosting regeneration as well as potential uses in any type of ailment that impinges on the intestine, such as infections or cancers,” said Omer Yilmaz, an MIT assistant professor of biology, a member of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, and one of the senior authors of the study.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a big-hearted chiropractor with a special interest in functional neurology, brain optimization, and weight loss, Dr. Stephanie Estima. Dr. Stephanie Estima studied Neuroscience and Psychology before becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. She has been in private practice for 16 years where she is helps people achieve extraordinary health at her Toronto clinic -The Health Loft. Also, she is the host of Better with Dr. Stephanie. This show is for high performing women who want to have BETTER bodies, BETTER minds, BETTER relationships, BETTER sex, and BETTER families. Dr. Stephanie loves taking the complex science and making it easy to integrate into daily life. Every week she gives people access to world class scientists, medical doctors, plastic surgeons, professional athletes, Olympic athletes, Hollywood actors, parenting coaches, sex experts and psychologists. Dr. Stephanie is always looking to answer this question: what are the simplest things we can do today, to get better tomorrow? She is part geek, part magic, and it’s her mission to be the voice for women...Let’s get better together. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Estima opens the show by explaining how she discovered that keto cycling could benefit your menstrual cycle. Period symptoms should not be considered normal. Instead, we should think of them as warning signs that our body needs something. Every symptom can be a vital sign of something more profound and more significant. Then, Dr. Stephanie dives deep into the menstrual cycle. She explains what you should be eating during each part of your cycle. Tune in as we talk about tracking your cycle and what happens in the menopausal stage of life. / / 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 [00:50] About Dr. Stephanie Estima Stephanie started in the keto space interested in the effects the diet can have on the brain and clarity of thought. So, Dr. Stephanie tried keto along with her patients. When couples did it together, the male partner would always have significant weight loss. While on the other hand, the female partner would see little weight loss despite eating the same type of diet. Personally, Dr. Stephanie enjoyed her focus and productivity. However, in the background, she was dealing with a lot of menstrual issues. At one point, Dr. Stephanie had a period and it actually went well. She realized that keto cycling could be beneficial for your menstrual cycle. Now, she loves getting her period! [06:45] What Your Period Says About Your Health “Your period is the lasso of truth.” -Dr. Stephanie Stephanie says that your menstrual cycle is going to tell you about the hormonal status of your body. The menstrual cycle is a vital sign for women. If you have heavy bleeding, clotting, and sleep disturbances – then those are signs that your body is trying to tell you things are not balanced. Women need to stop looking at their symptoms as punishment. Instead, women should listen to their bodies. Thick hair could mean too much testosterone. You want to identify common patterns that happen as it relates to hormonal dysfunction. [11:05] About The Betty Body Stephanie’s new book is called The Betty Body. You can order it here: https://amzn.to/2ZfwTOh In the book, Stephanie dives into why women should stop dieting and take control of their hormones to feel amazing in their skin. A Betty epitomizes a modern-day queen, commonly associated with increased levels of self-worth (because she continues to create it). Stephanie likes to think about how to play the long game with women. In the book, she talks about how sex and orgasms are important things for women to think about. It improves all our vital signs, and most importantly, is a vehicle for self-healing. [15:45] Diving Into The Menstrual Cycle Week 1: When we think about the first week of our cycle, it’s the bleed week. Most hormones have gone on vacation during this time. FHS is still around (follicle-stimulating hormone). One lucky egg will be developed. So, it’s a wonderful week for vegetables. The first two weeks of your cycle are all about developing your follicle – you will be more resilient to restrict carbohydrates. It’s a nice week for fasting because we don’t have progesterone. Week 2: After the bleed week and into the second week, it’s the week before ovulation. Ovulation is the main event – it’s the whole point of your menstrual cycle. Whether or not you want a child, that’s what your body wants to do. In this week, we see estrogen. Estrogen is designed for growth because we want to develop the follicle. The other hormone that comes up is testosterone. In this week, your interest in sex should go up. Week 3: Week three happens after your ovulation. Now, your egg can hang around and wait for sperm. The entire hormonal landscape is going to change. Back off aggressive fasting this week. Give yourself flexibility- we are much more sensitive than our male counterparts. Add resistant starches to your diet during this week. Resistant starches are foods that will resist digestion. It cannot be broken down in the small intestine. Instead, they will go into the large intestine. Luckily, they don’t count toward your carbohydrate intake. Some examples of resistant starches: green bananas, green plantains, raw potatoes, cold rice, Week 4: Peak week! During a blood test this week, all of the things will be down. Relax on keto this week and pump up the calories. Get out of ketosis – eat squash, sweet potato, and fruit. [30:20] The Importance Of Listening To Our Body    Listen to your body and what it is trying to tell you. If you really like to increase fat on a certain week, then do it. Stephanie only has best practices. However, every woman is different, unique, and beautiful. [42:15] Tracking Your Cycle Stephanie uses Clue to track her cycle. Check it out here: https://helloclue.com. The first thing you should do is get information about where you are in your cycle. [48:15] What Menopausal Women Need To Know Women in their menopausal stage can become more insulin resistant. The cells are not as sensitive to the effects of insulin. So, women will see an increase in blood glucose. Plus, muscles will also become resistant. It will actually take more for a muscle to grow when a woman is fifty and beyond. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Best Selling Author, Educator, Speaker, and Podcast Host, Dr. Mindy Pelz. Dr. Mindy is empowering people worldwide to believe in their body's healing abilities through fasting, diet variation, removing chemicals from the body, and so much more.  Dr. Mindy is a recognized leader in the alternative health world and is the founder of Family Life Wellness, her local clinic that is made to speed up healing and maximize performance. She is also the founder of the Reset Academy. In this private group, she and her team help people implement the principles of fasting, keto, and diet variation into their daily lives.  She is the host of one of the leading science podcasts, The Resetter Podcast, and the author of three best-selling books, The Menopause Reset, The Reset Factor, and The Reset Kitchen.

She puts out a weekly podcast episode, two science-backed YouTube videos a week, three weekly newsletters, and leads people through heavy metal detoxing in her Toxin Reset Program. In this episode, Dr. Mindy focuses on fasting. We dive right into the most significant pitfalls women could be making in their fasting routine. First, you should step out of fasting around day twenty of your cycle. Also, don't forget to make yourself insulin resistant from day one to day ten of your period. Dr. Mindy also gives fasting tips for women who are in their post-menopausal phase of life. Later, Dr. Mindy goes deep into the six different stages of fasting. Tune in as we chat about the enemies of fasting and how you can solve all your fasting issues. Lastly, Dr. Mindy answers questions from the Keto Kampers.  / / 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 [02:55] About The Fasting Circle   Women love the idea of fasting – there are so many miracles that can happen when you fast. However, we need to honor our hormones, specifically our sex hormones. Men’s testosterone will come every couple of hours. Women get testosterone once a month. So, we have to fast very differently. The Fasting Circle will help women navigate the fasting experience. Fasting is powerful; we have to do it thoughtfully.  [06:30] The Dangers Of Fasting Too Much The first danger is progesterone. You make the most progesterone around day twenty of your cycle. If you are in a low-glycemic state, then it won’t make progesterone very proficient. Fasts will cause cortisol – it’s fine during the front half of the cycle. When you need to make progesterone, you don’t want that stress. So, step out of fasting around day twenty of your cycle. During this time, you should slow life down and relax. You want to honor that your body is trying to make progesterone. Make yourself insulin resistant from day one to day ten of your period. You want to go keto and make yourself insulin resistant during this time. Use keto and fasting during this time (totally opposite of day twenty). [11:50] Fasting For Post-Menopausal Women If you are over forty, you have an organ that is shutting down (your ovaries). No other time in your life will you have an organ shutting down. Your ovaries will make hormones. Well, your body still has to make it so your adrenal glands will take over. We are not made to be permanent fat burners. We are made for metabolic switching. As women get on the other side of menopause, we have to build our hormones back up. [16:20] About The 5-1-1 Rule 5 days of fasting and keto. 1 day of an extended fast (24 hours). 1 day a week of no fasting. Instead, you should be feasting. We are meant for metabolic switching; we are not meant to be permanent fat burners. Women need to go into hormone building times. That’s when we can lean into foods likes squashes, beans, and quinoa. Women should feel free to move in and out of ketosis. [20:15] The Six Styles Of Fasting    There are six styles of fasting: Intermittent Fast: 13 – 15 hours. Autophagy Fast: 17 hours. This is when autophagy kicks in. So, the cells start to understand that it needs to clean up their act. It’s great for detox! Gut Reset: 24 hours. This is an incredible fast for people with gut dysbiosis. Fat Burner Fast: 36 hours. You will access toxins and breakdown fat more efficiently at 36 hours. Dopamine Reset: 48 hours. We lose our sensitivity to dopamine over time. We are getting way too much dopamine. For instance, we can order food, binge watch TV, and scroll through social media. Eating all day long will make it so that our dopamine receptor sites are getting blocked. So, we need to make ourselves more sensitive. Immunity Fast: 72 hours. This fast will reboot stem cells – especially when it comes to white blood cells. It has been known as a way to kill cancer cells. [45:00] Fats That Make It Hard To Fast When people start fasting, they come from the standard American diet. These people are mostly insulin resistant. Only 12% of Americans are insulin sensitive. The number one thing that makes you insulin resistant is bad fats. The goal of fasting is to get you out of insulin resistance. If the cell is junked up with bad fats, then fasting will be challenging. The enemy of fasting is bad oils! [52:35] Toxins Are Another Enemy Of Fasting Your fat stores will have excess. When you lose weight, toxins will release into your system. We need to go in and out of detox. Mindy says that we shouldn’t avoid fasting because of symptoms. Instead, we should honor our symptoms and learn how to read them. As you’re fasting, make sure you are opening up your detox pathways. You should be sweating and massaging different parts of your body. The more toxins you have, the harder it may be to get fat adapted and get ketones. [59:20] Helping Your Hair Grow Back The solution to your fasting challenges will be variation. Most of us are already operating from a place of mineral deficiency. Our soil is not giving us enough minerals as it did thirty years ago. If you haven’t already, check out Kiss The Ground: https://kisstheground.com. Most likely, you are mineral deficient, so add minerals back into your diet. [62:55] Leslie McMillan: How Long Is Too Long To Stay In High Ketosis? What are you trying to accomplish? We can get obsessed with our ketones and blood sugar. If you don’t have a cancer diagnosis, then you should stay in high ketosis for 80% of the time and 20% of your time being a sugar burner. [66:30] Katie: How To Fix Gut Health? You have to mix up fasts for your body – it could be the reason that you’re not losing weight. Lean into progesterone foods like squash and potatoes.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a certified whole-food nutritionist, blogger, published author, and one of the leading voices advocating for a food-based approach to healing, Vivica Menegaz. Vivica was the first to use the now popular expression “Keto Paleo” to describe her lifestyle and eating habits. She is the founder of the “The Healing Foods Method’ – a 14-week online nutrition program where she works 1-on-1 with clients to turn their health around utilizing a therapeutic ketogenic diet for healing (keto paleo). Tracing back to her Italian origins, Vivica is a passionate cook whose love of healing food has been shared with millions through her blog, “The Nourished Caveman.” While living in Northern California, pursuing her self-sufficiency dreams and practice of nutrition, Vivica’s life came to a turning point when she discovered she was pre-diabetic. The nourishing Paleo foods she had been advocating are not the whole solution to modern health problems. Fueled by this discovery, Vivica dove into research and found the ketogenic diet. It was love at the first bite. Within the first couple of months, her blood glucose levels dropped, she shed excess weight, her brain fog cleared up, and her energy levels skyrocketed. After a year of successful keto paleo lifestyle, Vivica’s own health journey took another turn as she was now diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism. Again she had to rely on her studies and practical applications to resolve those challenges, and that is how she became the first holistic nutritionist to successfully utilize a ketogenic approach as the foundation to endocrine rebalancing. She has made it her mission to help others reclaim their health and quality of life. Vivica is also the author of three cookbooks: “The Ultimate Paleo Cookbook” 2015, together with nine other bloggers, and “The Big Book Of Fat Bombs” in 2016. Her latest book: “The Keto Paleo Kitchen,” was released in December 2017. In this episode, Vivica Menegaz dives deep into her roots and how she grew up eating only the best and fresh meats. Then, Vivica reveals what the media has wrong about Covid. Why aren’t we talking about the immune system, the gut, and getting out in nature? That’s what will actually help you overcome this virus – we aren’t going to get rid of it! Then, Vivica explains how your healing journey may lead you to ayahuasca. Plus, we chat about how Vivica found the keto lifestyle, and we talk all about Vivica’s cookbooks.  / / 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 [00:35] About Vivica Menegaz Growing up, Vivica ate loads of fresh meat. As she traveled the world, Vivica would explore local and native foods. Vivica was following her dreams of practicing nutrition. However, she discovered that she was pre-diabetic. After working with Dr. Deborah Penner, her mentor, she was first introduced to a ketogenic diet when only a handful of people were writing or talking about it. Vivica’s therapeutic approach to food, lifestyle, and supplementation, utilizes the healing power of nutrition and mindset to address the incapacitating symptoms of many lifestyle-diseases that have plagued our modern lives. [10:15] Wrapping Our Heads Around Covid There is so much misinformation about Covid. As a practitioner, Vivica is looking for trustworthy resources. However, there’s not a lot out there! Finally, we understand how Covid makes people sick and who it makes sick. There are levels of sickness that we cannot treat as nutritionists. Eventually, people will need to go to a hospital. However, most people will benefit from nutritionists. A person with an intact immune system whose microbiome has resilience will not be affected by the ‘dangerous’ virus. In order for the virus to be dangerous, there needs to be microcirculation problems and metabolism issues. These conditions are making all the difference. Covid could actually benefit you by making your body stronger. A small percentage of people need to be quarantined, but that’s not the majority of us! The real virus is FEAR. [17:20] Using Plants To Heal Ayahuasca is the main plant that Vivica uses to heal. Practicing as a nutritionist, people would just heal from diet changes. However, some people would do everything right but they wouldn’t heal. It would drive Vivica insane! She wants all her patients to get better and heal everything. When they don’t heal correctly, Vivica takes it personally. Now, Vivica likes to find the deep cause of diseases. Her goal is to have as holistic practice where she can treat people as fully human. [22:10] Diving Into The Keto Lifestyle Seven years ago, when you said ketosis, people had no idea what you were talking about. Ketosis is the opposite of insulin resistance, so Vivica knew she needed to be in ketosis. You could say Vivica was an early adopter and researcher for keto. For Vivica, her focus had always been on whole, unprocessed foods as in the Paleo diet. However, she used her personal diabetic challenge as fuel for her research in the ketogenic diet to help Vivica control her blood sugar and hormonal issues. There is no cookie-cutter approach to health – you have to experiment and see how it works for you.   [38:15] The Essential Carnivore Diet Cookbook There are a few different categories for the carnivore diet: Purist (meat and salt). This diet is for people who have severe gut issues. We are talking about clean meat, which is the least toxic food on the planet. You can find all the nutrients you need in clean meat. It’s an elimination diet and not meant to be done for extended periods of time. Ancestral (includes fruit and honey). What would a hunter and gather eat? It’s seasonal fruit and meat. Occasionally there would be nuts, but not often. You can’t use olive oil on the carnivore diet, so Vivica uses bone marrow fat. Cookbooks are helpful for people who have no idea how to make high-fat meals. Nutrient-dense healing food is what will heal our bodies.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: The Nourished Caveman: https://thenourishedcaveman.com Follow Vivica Menegaz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheNourishedCaveman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vivica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenourishedcaveman YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyl1J_UOu5QPtHkefgYgv5g Join Keto Paleo For Women: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketopaleo/ The Essential Carnivore Diet Cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Carnivore-Diet-Cookbook-Delicious-ebook/dp/B0871BWDQB/benazadi-20 The Everything BIG Book of Fat Bombs: https://thenourishedcaveman.com/the-everything-big-book-of-fat-bombs Get The Keto Paleo Kitchen: http://www.theketopaleokitchen.com Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ / / 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 Text me!

In this episode you'll learn how to increase metabolism so you can lose weight fast. Yes, there's metabolism boosting foods that can speed up your metabolism, you'll learn about these foods and more. 💻 Free Keto Diet Masterclass ➡️ http://www.ketosismasterclass.com​​​ 🎁 KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com​​​ 🎥 Keto Series: https://bit.ly/3qd1bxg​​ / / 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 The first way to boost your metabolism is with high intensity interval training. A great boost metabolism workout consists of squats, push ups, burpees, shoulder press and other compound movement. Research examining the effects of HIIE has produced preliminary evidence to suggest that HIIE can result in modest reductions in subcutaneous and abdominal body fat in young normal weight and slightly overweight males and females. Studies using overweight male and female type 2 diabetic individuals have shown greater reductions in subcutaneous and abdominal fat. The mechanisms underlying the fat reduction induced by HIIE, however, are undetermined but may include HIIE-induced fat oxidation during and after exercise and suppressed appetite. Regular HIIE has been shown to significantly increase both aerobic and anaerobic fitness and HIIE also significantly lowers insulin resistance and results in increases in skeletal muscle capacity for fatty acid oxidation and glycolytic enzyme content. Study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...​ The second that will teach you how to boost metabolism is with intermittent fasting. Skipping a meal does not slow down your metabolism, it does the complete opposite! This study showed a 13% increase in the metabolic rate after 4 days of fasting. https://thefastingmethod.com/fix-brok...​ Practice an 18/6 daily schedule with two meals inside your 6 hour eating window. The method for teaching you how to speed up metabolism is quality sleep. Most of your fat burning hormones are activated during delta sleep. This study showed sleep curtailment decreased the fraction of weight lost as fat by 55% (1.4 vs. 0.6 kg with 8.5 vs. 5.5-h sleep opportunity, P=0.043) and increased the loss of fat-free body mass by 60% (1.5 vs. 2.4 kg, P=0.002). This was accompanied by markers of enhanced neuroendocrine adaptation to caloric restriction, increased hunger, and a shift in relative substrate utilization towards oxidation of less fat. Get at least 8 hours of quality sleep each night. Visit http://www.ketokampkit.com​ to check out my favorite sleep resources for weight loss. The fourth way to increase metabolism is with keto flexing. The keto diet consists of metabolism boosting foods which keep your fat storage hormone insulin low. I recommend 60 days of strict keto, and then start flexing. You can learn more about keto with my upcoming keto diet masterclass http://www.ketosismasterclass.com​ The last tip is to replace alcohol with tea for at least 28 days. Alcohol is a poison to the body, the liver needs to detox it. The worst offenders are beer and wine. According to Dr Zach Bush, the avg California wine has 64 herbicides & pesticides. According to Maria Emmerich's research, “Alcohol stimulates appetite and decrease your testosterone levels for up to 24 hours and increases estrogen by 300%. The infamous “beer belly” is really just an “estrogen belly.” Biochemically, the higher your level of estrogen is, the more readily you absorb alcohol, but the slower you break it down.” https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-t...​ If/when you do drink, stick with tequila or whiskey instead of wine and beer. 💻 Free Keto Diet Masterclass ➡️ http://www.ketosismasterclass.com​ 🎁 KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎥 Keto Series: https://bit.ly/3qd1bxg​ / / 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 Text me the words Toxicity to +1 (786) 364-5002 *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 ▸clubhouse | @thebenazadi Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

Today, I am blessed to have here an expert in pathogens, food sensitivity testing, and a wide range of related health problems, Reed Davis. Over 20 years ago, Reed recognized people were caught in a “cycle of trial and error,” and he committed to being the last person they needed to see. While working with top leaders in alternative medicine, he ran thousands of labs on thousands of people and learned to identify “healing opportunities.” Using all-natural, drug-free protocols, Reed made observations about who got better and who didn’t, codifying which “general principles of health building” would outperform “specific treatments” being provided by standard and even alternative medicine. And through this work, he then developed the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Certification Course and D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success Protocol® to educate and empower as many people as possible about how to get well and stay well naturally, so they, in turn, may empower others to do the same. Using his experience as an Environmental Paralegal, training as a Certified Nutritional Therapist and Fitness Coach, he served as the Health Director and Case Manager at the Better Health & Wellness Center in Poway, California for over 10 years.  Reed’s experience in these areas served as the foundation for the development of the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Course, where he has taught nearly 3,000 FDN trainees and graduates in over 50 countries. In this episode, Reed Davis opens the show describing the inspiration behind his career in the health coaching industry. Reed likes to educate people on how to become their own health detective. A massive mistake that health detectives make is that they only run one test based on their symptoms. Instead, we should be running multiple tests to finding the root cause of our symptoms. Plus, we talk about Reed's favorite hormone tests, and Reed reveals the truth behind adrenal fatigue. Tune in as we dive into how our bodies are capable of healing themselves. / / 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 Text me: +1 (786) 364-5002 ☣️ Join my 90 day group detox program. Work with Ben Azadi, Dr Daniel Pompa, & Dr Mindy Pelz & other detox specialist: http://www.ketokampdetox.com​ [00:30] About Reed Davis Reed worked as an Environmental Paralegal. When he saw how bad the environment was, he wondered what was going on with the people living in this environment. So, he turned his attention less on the planet and more on humans. Working at a clinic, Reed fell in love with working on patients. Eventually, Reed learned how to do labs, and he fell even more in love with the clinical side of work. Now, Reed has at home programs. However, Reed is not a physician, so he has to be careful not to diagnose people. Yet, he can still help people by giving them things to do at home. [10:30] The Mistake Health Detectives Are Making Health detectives often only run one test based on their symptoms. For instance, if you only run a thyroid test, then you could be missing something even more significant. Reed thinks health detectives should be looking at all factors and healing opportunities. There isn’t just one cause; instead, there are going to be a bunch of causes. [16:20] Reed’s Favorite Hormone Tests For hormones, Reed Davis likes to measure cortisol. Cortisol doesn’t work well with blood. No one is going to draw their blood four different times during the day. So, he wants to do something convenient like saliva and urine. Whatever information they get, then they can create benchmarks. Down the road, that person can retest, and they will see how their hormones change. When people are compliant, they get results! [17:45] Other Tests That Reed Likes To Utilize Bodily fluids and hair tests are also useful. There are always new tests coming out for health coaches. When someone has a health complaint, they go to the doctor and get standard blood work done. However, standard blood work doesn’t say much about the person. Plus, the doctor will try and fix the symptoms rather than finding the cause. [22:30] The Truth Behind Adrenal Fatigue     Adrenals aren’t getting tired; they are getting the signals mixed up. There are four different layers behind the adrenals that produce different substances. Cortisol is produced in the adrenals. When you are stressed, then you should have cortisol. That way, there is power for fight or flight. The adrenals will get messages from the brain. Adrenals are very sensitive, and the environment can mess with them. [25:40] All About Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) Reed didn’t come up with FDN until he had to name his work. The body is designed perfectly; our body knows what it needs to do. So, it’s about the function being natural and healthy. Diagnostic is not medical; it’s diagnostic by nature because Reed will look at data. If you’re ready to help others or yourself on a deeper level, to enhance your skillset and set yourself apart from other certified health coaches and professionals, and fix what is wrong with your clients or yourself… apply to FDN: http://fdn.today/ketokamp [40:00] Our Bodies Can Heal Point “A” is how you show up, but point “B” is not the end of all your problems. Instead, FDN wants to point you in the right direction and get you on the path to true health. If you have an extreme medical problem, then you will need ongoing oversight from a physician. Physicians meet needs, and health coaches meet needs. The trick is to focus on the needs. Prevention is a huge factor for our health. AND MUCH MORE!

If you've been stuck at a weight loss plateau, and stopped getting the results you want on keto, intermittent fasting or any approach, this episode explains why. Apply for my 3-month detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Here are the statistics on our failing health... 1 out of 3 women is diagnosed with cancer 1 out of 2 men is diagnosed with cancer 60% of Americans are pre-diabetic or diabetic By 2032, it's predicated that 1 in 2 children will be born on the autism spectrum.

The ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting is great, but it will only get you so far in this day and age. The number 1 cause of weight loss plateaus and weight gain is cellular inflammation. The number 1 cause of cellular inflammation is toxins. Toxicity is a Generational Epidemic. “I believe there are 3 main toxins affecting 4 generations that are leading to an explosion of chronic disease and obesity.” – Dr. Daniel Pompa Lead Mercury Glyphosate From The Womb to The Tomb The Environmental Working Group (EWG) examined the cord blood of newborns and found… They began life exposed to as many as 287 of the 413 toxic chemicals in the study 180 chemicals found are known to cause cancer Cancer rates in children have risen 67.1% since 1950.

Welcome to the Keto Kamp Podcast Episode 229 with Dr. David Jockers  Today, I am blessed to have with me here for a second time, Dr. David Jockers. He is a natural health doctor, functional nutritionist, corrective care chiropractor, exercise physiologist, and certified strength & conditioning specialist. He currently owns and operates Exodus Health Center in Kennesaw, Georgia. He is also the author of the best-selling book “SuperCharge Your Brain” the complete guide to radically improve your mood, memory and mindset and the SuperCharged Recipe book with over 180 full-color recipes to help you take back control of your health.

Dr. Jockers sees patients at his clinic, Exodus Health Center, to help customize specific lifestyle plans to help individuals improve performance and beat chronic disease. In this episode, Dr. Jockers opens the show by describing the inspiration behind his latest book, The Fasting Transformation. Next, Dr. Jockers reveals his favorite fasting facts. For instance, fasting is part of many religions and has been around since humans have existed. Dr. Jockers dives deep into fasting and explains how fasting will help you lose weight, the benefits of autophagy, and why you may want to switch from cow dairy to sheep or goat dairy. Plus, we speak about the importance of fasting for our digestive systems. / 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 Text me the words KKP +1 (786) 364-5002 90 Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Mindy Pelz: http://www.ketokampdetox.com [01:00] About The Fasting Transformation Jockers wanted to write a book about the transformational power of fasting. Sadly, our society is metabolically damaged, causing us to be sick, exhausted, and overweight. Luckily, fasting is the most ancient, inexpensive, and most powerful healing strategy known to humankind. There are key strategies you need to know when it comes to fasting. People need to be aware of everything when it comes to fasting in order to have success. Every person on the planet should be fasting (unless you’re pregnant, a young child, or an elite athlete). Fasting once a week will reduce metabolic disease massively.  [02:25] Favorite Fasting Facts Fasting is part of many religions. Spiritual people will practice fasting when they have challenges or when they have significant decisions that they need to make. Also, fasting is some of the best medicine. Throughout history, people have done fasting to hear from God, have greater levels of creativity, and achieve a higher level mentally. Fasting isn’t a fad; it has been around since humans have existed. [04:35] Will Fasting Help You Lose Weight? When you fast, your insulin goes down. When insulin is high, it tells all the other hormones to stop burning fat. That way, your body can focus on burning sugar. Plus, your body will increase inflammation. Throughout history, systemic infections have killed more people than anything else. So, the body created an inflammatory process to protect us against systemic infections. Overall, the body creates inflammation in case your body needs to protect itself. To burn fat, we need periods of time where insulin is really low. The best way to do that is not to eat at all. If we want more advanced weight loss, we may take a few days to keep insulin down by doing a five-day fast. [12:00] What Is Causing Your Insulin To Increase Unfortunately, stress could be a massive contributor to insulin levels. Poor sleep will also contribute to cortisol. Which will increase insulin levels. Cortisol inhibits insulin production to prevent glucose from being stored. Plus, if you drink too much caffeine, that could be an issue. Eating a lot of carbs can be a factor in your insulin increase. However, every time you eat anything, there will be a small increase. [19:10] Switching From Cow Dairy To Sheep Or Goat Dairy     If you react to casein in dairy, then you may need to switch to sheep or goat dairy. Many people can tolerate sheep or goat dairy. If you think you have a sensitivity to cow dairy, then try and switch out your products. Test it out for a month and see if you feel any better. Everyone should take dairy out of their diet for one month of the year. That way, you can see if you notice a difference. [20:15] How Autophagy Works Your brain and body will do well on intermittent fasting because of ketone production and autophagy. The body needs energy. If we don’t get enough energy from our diet, then our body will get the energy from within our cells. Our body knows the difference between an old cell and a new cell. During autophagy, the body will break down old cells and creates stronger cells through recycled materials. If you don’t take the trash out of your house, what would happen? You would get sick, and it would be awful! Well, we need to take out the trash in our bodies. [23:25] The Building Stage vs. The Cleansing Stage Insulin will trigger building. We need a building stage because we need hormones and new cells. Also, we might want to build muscle – we need insulin for this. When insulin is low, we are cleansing. During this stage, our cells will get rid of toxins. Kids will need to be in the building stage more than the cleansing stage. Pregnant women need to be in the building stage too. Most adults don’t need to constantly fuel their system. Instead, they need more time with low insulin than high insulin. [30:00] How Fasting Will Reset Your Digestive System   Fasting will take the stress off your gut. When you have gut problems, it’s like having a broken ankle. If you go out and walk every day on your broken ankle, it will never heal. For the gut, you can fast for a period of time each day to reset your digestive system and heal your gut lining. Fasting will reduce inflammation in your digestive system.   [37:40] When Does Autophagy Start? We don’t fully know. However, it will depend on your metabolic flexibility. Other factors include sleep and stress. Someone who is metabolic healthy can reach autophagy at sixteen to eighteen hours. If you have high fasting insulin, you may need to fast for multiple days. [43:55] Extended Fasting Strategies When you do an extended fast, you’ll get higher levels of autophagy. Plus, you’ll get a higher level of stem cells. If you are battling chronic disease, it can be a powerful therapeutic strategy. Doing a three-day fast once a year will help prevent chronic disease. If you are underweight, doing a fast every three to four months may be a better strategy. [50:30] Fasting When Insulin Resistant  You need to lower insulin. When you lower insulin, you will have lower inflammation. Fasting will help regenerate your insulin receptors. That way, your body will reset how much insulin it produces.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a lifetime natural competitive bodybuilder, Robert Orion Sikes. Robert started Keto Savage to help motivate and educate others about the importance of following your passions and getting the results you want. Robert wakes up early, he works his A@$ off, and he sees results. Robert is no different than you; any success he has experienced this far is attainable for anybody willing to put in the work. We live in an era where everything is automatic, everything is superficial, and everything is expected for nothing. That life does not create greatness; it destroys it. The Keto Savage site will empower those who crave intensity, dedication, discipline, hard work, and sacrifice. In this episode, Robert Orion Sikes reveals the inspiration behind his brand, Keto Savage. As one of the first keto bodybuilders, Robert knew he needed to document his journey. Robert has been in ketosis for six years; he explains how he stays so disciplined. When you love what you do, it’s easy to say disciplined. So, learn how to love keto foods and to do amazing things for your body. Tune in as we speak about Robert’s Keto Brick, how to break a plateau, and we talk about big tech censorship. / / 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 [00:30] About Robert Orion Sikes As a bodybuilder, Robert was shredded, but he sacrificed his health. He developed eating disorders that left him in a dark place. Plus, Robert fell into a deep debt; he got depressed and suicidal. So, Robert tried keto. His cravings went away, and he felt much better. Everyone at the gym would tell Robert that he couldn’t get big on carbs. However, Robert went fully keto, and he still competed as a bodybuilder. Robert has looked back since.  [05:45] How Robert Will Stay Disciplined The secret to Robert’s discipline is loving the process. You can’t become a bodybuilder overnight; it takes years and years of weightlifting. The more you work at something, the better you get. Bodybuilding involves an obsessive amount of discipline. As long as you embrace it, then you will find success. [07:45] What To Know When Starting Keto Know your “why” and understand what drives you. Also, knowing your “why” will help if you have a long-term view of what you want to accomplish. That way, you’ll be excited about what you do every single day. Getting healthy isn’t a good enough “why.” Instead, your “why” should be about the people in your life. You owe it to your family to stay healthy. [11:50] About The Keto Brick The Keto Brick sold out in two minutes. The bricks are great for backpacking, hunting, and running. The brick is 1,000 calories with 90 grams of fat. Every ingredient has the purpose of optimizing your performance. The momentum and support for Robert’s Keto Bricks keep coming. Keto products should not have seed oils or any sweeteners. If there are more protein and carbs than fat, then that isn’t keto. Get Keto Bricks: https://www.ketobrick.com [19:15] Building Muscle On Keto    If you are implementing progressive overload and increasing your training, you will build muscle in the context of being in a caloric surplus. Fuel your growth through adequate calories. Within eight days, Robert will hit each muscle group twice. Robert doesn’t do a ton of cardio. He likes to run as a meditative type of exercise. If you’re doing cardio, do it after your strength training. Use it as a cool down rather than a warmup. [24:00] How To Break A Plateau Many women chronically undereat. Their metabolic baseline has been so down-regulated that there’s not much room for them to improve. So, women need to upregulate their metabolism. Trying a calorie surplus will help upregulate your metabolism. When you have a calorie surplus, that doesn’t mean you can eat whatever you want. Having a cheat meal will have negative psychological effects. Instead, focus on desiring things that will improve your wellbeing. Keto flexing will help your good cells get stronger. [33:20] About Big Tech Censorship Robert is doubling-down on his own website. He is revamping the entire website so big tech will not censor his macro content. That way, he won’t have to rely on social platforms to be his end-all be-all. AND MUCH MORE!
