Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

Today I interview, an investor, author, public speaker, lifestyle influencer, and empire builder, Elena Cardone.   The Queen of her Empire, Elena has designed, constructed and protected a life outside of the ordinary. She has inspired a legion of followers to create their own empires – lives that are truly fulfilling and beyond the average. She counts her current job as her most important one – Chief Family Officer, where she is loving mother, fierce wife and loyal friend. Hosting her podcast series Women in Power, Elena interviews and speaks with other influential women about a variety of topics – social media, business, health, children, education, government, entrepreneurship, travel, beauty, fashion… and yes, sex! Bestselling author of the book Build An Empire and an in-demand speaker, Elena has traveled the globe sharing her insight, wit and experiences building an empire and creating an extraordinary 10X life for herself, husband and family. The architect behind many of Grant Cardone Enterprises’ ventures, Elena is an experienced businesswoman, entrepreneur and investor with her and Grant’s influence felt with Cardone Capital which is closing in on 10,000 units under management with a real estate portfolio valued at $1.5 Billion. In this episode, Elena dives deep into her background and explains how she fell into abusive alcohol and drug use. One day, Elena woke up and realized that she needed to get it together. Elena speaks about her ability to change and why it’s so essential to have a full schedule, especially during the quarantine. Stay tuned as Elena explains the difference between haters and naysayers and why your opinion is the only one that matters. // 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. [00:30] About Elena Cardone Growing up in New Orleans, Elena had an excellent childhood. After a traumatic fire, Elena lost her childhood best friend. The very next day, she was sent back to school. Elena had no time to acknowledge or process her feelings. So, Elena decided to start self-medicating. Elena dove into alcohol and drugs. Fortunately, Elena never became a drug addict or an alcoholic. At seventeen, Elena left New Orleans and flew to Los Angeles to become an actress and a model. Elena lost eight friends before the age of seventeen. One day Elena woke up and realized that she couldn’t use her friend’s death as an excuse to drink and use drugs. [07:00] About the Ability to Change Elena has the ability to experience change. She isn’t fixed to ideas of how things are supposed to be. Every time Elena has a fixed idea, she has gotten herself into trouble. Early on, Elena had an idea that her relationship was supposed to look a certain way. However, she realized that she needed to let go of that idea and think about why she ever thought it. Then, Elena realized she didn’t need to look to her husband for her own happiness. If Elena was 100% happy, she understood that it would make her relationship evolve. Start looking at your beliefs – are they yours or did they come from someone else? Are you willing to solve your own problem? [12:20] The Importance of Health in Building an Empire You have to generate energy when building an empire. Energy is valuable – you can’t rely on someone else to give you energy. You have to produce your own! Elena takes control of her body – if she didn’t, she would sleep all day. Get Elena’s book, Build an Empire. [16:15] Why We Need a Full Schedule Elena has to have a full calendar. When the quarantine started, Elena doubled her workload. A full schedule keeps her so busy that she just keeps going and doesn’t have time to get introverted or depressed. It’s hard to get stressed when someone is working on a full schedule. We only have so much time – stay busy! When we aren’t busy, the game becomes to attack each other. [19:20] The Difference Between Haters and Naysayers     A naysayer is a person who attacks your strengths. For instance, Elena says people tell her she needs a break. However, Elena has all the energy in the world; she doesn’t need a break. Elena says true friends wouldn’t tell her she looks tired; a true friend would come over and make her meal or take her outside for a walk. Naysayers need to be schooled and educated with what you will tolerate and what you won’t tolerate. Haters are the ones that are actively trying to seek your demise and reputation. When you have confidence in yourself, no one else’s opinions really matter to you. [23:20] Elena’s Keto Experience   Elena has tried bulletproof tea. However, she has never tried a keto thing. She simply doesn’t know enough about it. As a model, she was told to never eat fat. As a result, Elena has limiting beliefs that fat is the enemy. [25:50] What Elena Wishes People Asked Her Elena wishes people would ask her what she could change if she could change anything in the world. Elena says her answer is that women should be acknowledged and valued for their role in society. Women should never be diminished or devalued – it’s hurting society. She hates when people say, “I’m just a mom.” They aren’t just a mom; they are dedicating their lives to the advancement of their children.

We welcome back, a biomedical scientist, professor, and expert on insulin resistance, Dr. Benjamin Bikman.  Dr. Benjamin Bikman studies diabetes and obesity, and much of what he focuses on is a seemingly obscure condition called insulin resistance. But it's, in fact, not very obscure at all. What is insulin resistance? Why did Dr. Benjamin Bikman devote his career to studying something like this? Well, insulin resistance is essentially two things. First of all, some cells in your body aren't responding very well to the hormone insulin. Second, you have more insulin than you did before, a condition called hyperinsulinemia. Dr. Bikman's research focus is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that mediate the disruption that causes and accompanies metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. Driven by his academic training (Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and postdoctoral fellowship with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders), he is currently exploring the different roles of insulin and ketones as critical drivers of metabolic function. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings. In this episode, Dr. Bikman dives deep into his book, Why We Get Sick and how 88% of US adults may have insulin resistance. Dr. Bikman speaks about why we have insulin resistance and how you can test for insulin resistance at home. Dr. Bikman recommends that we all have a small blood pressure cuff at home. Then, Dr. Bikman talks all about fasting – what are the best ways to end a fast, what are the worst ways to end a fast, and why "wrecking your metabolism" simply doesn't make sense. Stay tuned, as Dr. Bikman reveals what we can do to prevent insulin resistance.   // 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. [00:40] About Why We Get Sick The more Dr. Bikman studies insulin resistance, the more flustered he gets. It’s something so few people know about. There are three segments of the book: Defining insulin resistance Why insulin resistance matters What to do about insulin resistance 88% of US adults may have insulin resistance because they have at least one out of five characteristics of metabolic syndrome: Expanded waist circumference High blood pressure High glucose High triglycerides Low HDL Get Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease―and How to Fight It [05:30] Signs You Have Insulin Resistance Your skin can be a window to the metabolic soul. Two pronounced skin disorders are wholly connected with insulin resistance: Skin tags Dark spots Infertility and erectile dysfunction can be a sign of insulin resistance. [08:00] How to Test Insulin Resistance at Home Buy a small blood pressure cuff that you can put around your wrist. After fasting, and you notice your blood pressure goes down, that’s a sign of insulin resistance. Insulin controls fuel use. At any moment, it’s a sugar burner or a fat burner. Insulin will dictate that fuel use in the body. Ketones can only be made when the body is in a high state of fat burning. If it takes a long time to measure ketones on a ketone meter, then it may be sign of insulin resistance. If you are in ketosis, your insulin is going down. If your glucose is high, that’s a big question. It could be that you are overeating and snacking too often. Or, it could mean there is an exaggerated hormone response to the fast. [13:45] The Best Way to Break a Fast vs. the Worst Way to Break a Fast A seven day fast is a little extreme. If a person is overweight, they need to be smart enough about doing a long fast. The longer a person is in a fast, the lower the insulin is getting. However, our potassium and sodium pump will slow down. The kidneys wills start to dump potassium – they haven’t got the message to stop. So, the person will risk dying by changing the potassium levels in the blood – it’s lethal! Don’t end a fast on a sugary snack. End a fast with fats and proteins – they have the smallest effect on insulin. [18:30] About Dry Fasting    Dry fasting will stimulate autophagy faster than a wet fast. It can be used very effectively. A dry fast will have a shorter time span. [21:00] Why Fasting Won’t Wreck Your Metabolism   Energy within a living organism is your metabolism. You want your metabolism to be less efficient actually. It’s nonsense when people say something will “wreck your metabolism.” The key to health is to be metabolically flexible.   [22:30] The Difference Between Fasting and Starvation Have you started cutting muscle? Cutting muscle is the difference between fasting and starving. The greatest defender of muscle during a fast is ketones because we need to continue to feed our brains. Plus, our kidneys are working much harder than any other organ. The moment our ketones come online, the metabolism in our muscles will stop. Ketones are muscle sparing. If ketones are high, our muscles will keep our amino acids. 75% of the brain’s energy will come from ketones.   [29:30] There are No Issues with Low Insulin Levels Bikman can’t think of any issues with low levels of insulin. People say low insulin means you are depriving your muscles. There are not a lot of studies on this. In gymnasts, they found there was no compromised muscle strength with the adaptation of a ketogenic diet. Most of the time, Dr. Bikman is in ketosis. However, there are moments when it’s difficult to stay in ketosis. Sometimes, Dr. Bikman’s kids will make him a meal that he ends up eating despite the carbohydrates.   [38:30] About Pathological Insulin Resistance On a ketogenic diet, a person is becoming glucose intolerant. That is not the same as insulin resistance. If a person consumes glucose, it will take longer to burn it. If you have been burning fat for so long and you challenge it with a glucose load, Dr. Bikman says the body will respond to it perfectly. The ketogenic diet isn’t the only way to live. Some people can thrive on a high carb diet. However, if someone is insulin resistant, they will benefit more from a low carb diet.   [44:50] The Optimal Range for Insulin Most doctors won’t test for insulin because they already tested for glucose. Just because glucose is normal, does not mean that insulin is normal. If you are six or below, you’re great. If it is up to 16 then you need to careful. If it’s higher, then it’s time to take things seriously. Some labs will say that up to 30 is normal – it’s not!   [49:15] Breast Cancer is Poorly Understood We know so little about breast cancer. The nature of this disease is change. If you think you’ve solved it, you haven’t. The best evidence is hinting that cancer could stem from energy problems and issues in the mitochondria.   [53:20] Cancer and Sugar Have a Mutual Relationship Cancer depends on glucose. There has never been human cancer found that thrives on ketones.   [55:15] How to Fix Insulin Resistance A cause of insulin resistance is high insulin. So how do we prevent insulin? A low carb lifestyle. Glucose is necessary for human survival – well, we make all we need. Focus on protein and fat!

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, someone who went from a humble beginning as a young immigrant escaping war-torn Iran with his parents, to founding his own company, Patrick Bet-David. Patrick has gained a first-hand understanding of what rags-to-riches means and how it is fueled by freedom and opportunity – the core tenants of the American Dream. Patrick’s amazing story starts with his family immigrating to America when he was 10-years old. His parents fled Iran as refugees during the Iranian revolution and were eventually granted U.S. citizenship. After high school Patrick joined the U.S. military and served in the 101st Airborne before starting a business career in the financial services industry.  After a tenure with a couple of traditional companies, he was inspired to launch PHP Agency Inc., an insurance sales, marketing and distribution company – and did so before he turned 30. PHP is now one of the fastest growing companies in the financial marketplace. Patrick is passionate about shaping the next generation of leaders by teaching thought-provoking perspectives on entrepreneurship and disrupting the traditional approach to a career.  Patrick’s popularity surged and created a buzz in the hearts of entrepreneurs all over the world when The Life of an Entrepreneur in 90 Seconds, a video he created, accumulated over 30 million views online (It became a book in June 2016: The Life of an Entrepreneur in 90 Pages ). That video and scores of other videos comprise his library of edifying, educational and inspirational content about entrepreneurship – all available at Valuetainment, a media brand he conceived and founded. Valuetainment exists to teach about the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and personal development while inspiring people to break from limiting beliefs or other constraints and achieve their dreams.  It has been referred to as “the best channel for entrepreneurs.” In this episode, Patrick opens the show diving deep into his story and revealing what it was like to have a relationship with the late, great Kobe Bryant. Patrick explains how the coronavirus pandemic can actually be an opportunity – for instance; his business set a record-breaking month in March. Then, Patrick describes the importance of health for entrepreneurs and why he loves to hire people who have a chip on their shoulder. Stay tuned as Patrick speaks about discipline, writing down your goals, and asking the right questions. Don’t forget to order Patrick’s latest work, Your Next Five Moves. // 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. [00:25] About Patrick Patrick grew his insurance company from 66 agents to 14,000 agents with 130 offices. On the side, Patrick started a YouTube channel. The channel numbers grew to a couple of million subscribers. In the beginning, he would talk about all sorts of things, and it wasn’t practical. He thought about the one word that he knew the most about – it was capitalism and entrepreneurship. The number one word became “entrepreneur.”   [04:45] Lessons Learned from Kobe Bryant Kobe and Patrick spent an hour talking about life. He spent fifteen minutes with his son and another fifteen minutes with his wife. Kobe is simple. He has a level of clarity and focus that none of his peers have. What’s the most significant difference between Kobe and Jordan? Jordan never worked as hard as Kobe did. Kobe wasn’t as talented, so he had to work harder. After the interview with Kobe, a relationship started between him and Patrick. Unfortunately, Kobe died before they could start their next endeavors. Watch the interview that Patrick did with Kobe Bryant: Kobe Bryant’s Last Great Interview.   [13:45] The Coronavirus is an Opportunity Patrick says his business has increased exponentially because of the coronavirus. Immediately, Patrick converted all of his presentations to Zoom. Because they pivoted quickly, Patrick ended up having an advantage. In March, PHP had a record-breaking month. After researching the virus, Patrick was calm and used his confidence to be there for his team.   [19:50] How Important is Prioritizing Health as an Entrepreneur? Twice a week, Patrick hires a yoga instructor to do yoga with his employees. Plus, they also have a fully stocked gym. The bigger the vision, the more energy you require. The more energy you require, the closer attention you need to pay to your health. If you get sick for a week, then you lose momentum. Without energy, Patrick wouldn’t be able to do anything; health is critical.   [23:10] Women and Immigrants Have a Chip on Their Shoulder     When Patrick started his insurance company, his focus was on women, Latinos, and millennials. Why? Patrick loves an underdog. 80% of insurance agents are men. So, Patrick wanted to create opportunities for women. Patrick never wants to be the Goliath in any situation. Being the David allows him to look at the blind spot of the Goliath. If you think like a Goliath, then you will be taken down by a David.   [27:10] What Does Discipline Mean to You? How do you judge someone’s character? Maybe you judge who someone will marry. Your friends will also be a reflection of who you are. If you have four complainers around you, then you are probably the fifth complainer. Patrick can’t be around someone who makes excuses. The same goes for who you decide to go into business with. It shows what kind of values you have. Patrick cares about people who say what they are going to do, and they do it. Discipline is tough to measure. When someone says something, do you believe they are going to do it? If yes, then they are disciplined.   [36:10] What’s Your Why? There are different levels of whys. The first level is survival. Maybe you want to make enough money to move out of your parent’s house. The next level is status. You need to buy something in order to fit in with your peers. It can sound shallow, but it means you’re moving up. The next level is freedom. What would life look like if I had $5,000,000 in the bank?   [44:00] Do You Need to Write Your Goals Down? Writing your goals down works for some people, and it means nothing to other people. Patrick is a visual person. He made multiple different vision boards. No two people are driven by the same thing. Test different things out and see what clicks.   [47:50] Learn to Ask the Right Questions 99% of the time, people aren’t asking the right questions. If you don’t have a girlfriend, don’t ask what it’s like to be a grandpa. It’s irrelevant. If you don’t have a girlfriend, ask how do I find a woman to be with long-term? Ask a question based on the phase you are at, not in the phase they are at. Ask for strategic steps.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Patrick’s Website Follow Patrick Bet-David Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Watch Kobe Bryant’s Last Great Interview Watch Is Ray Dalio Right?

I am grateful to have here with me someone who has worked with thousands of women one-on-one to help them understand and improve their health and manage their hormones, Dr. Anna Cabeca. She is committed to supporting women so that they can thrive physically, emotionally, sexually, and even spiritually as they go through the natural and inevitable life shift of menopause. Dr. Anna tackles a host of symptoms: fatigue, depression, weight gain, loss of libido, vaginal dryness, hair loss, and more. She shines a light on this time of change, sharing truths, and finding solutions to restore vitality and joy. Dr. Anna is proud to have published two best-selling books: The Hormone Fix, a groundbreaking holistic lifestyle program for menopausal women, and Keto-Green 16, a comprehensive nutritional plan to staying healthy and slim, at any age. She also spent years developing and perfecting a complete suite of life-changing products and programs. Everything Dr. Anna develops is part of her daily routine and based on exhaustive research and the never-ending quest to find solutions that help women reclaim their vibrancy, sexuality, health, and happiness. In this episode, Dr. Anna dives deep into her story and explains the health journey that led her to reverse both menopause and infertility. After finding a way of keto that worked for her, Dr. Anna realizes the importance that lifestyle can have on our mind, body, and spirit. Plus, Dr. Anna explains how to get more alkaline and why you may want to start testing your urine pH. Stay tuned as Dr. Anna speaks about her love for both MCT oil and Keto-Greens.  // 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. [00:30] About Dr. Anna Anna’s mom died after 15 years of struggling. It inspired Dr. Anna to be an advocate for women’s health. Anna was diagnosed with infertility and early menopause. It took her on a journey to discover what was going on. As a result, she reversed the early menopause and infertility at the age of 41. Anna discovered detoxing. Our liver metabolizes our hormones. The hormone disrupters act as drugs; stress will disrupt our hormones. Nobody talks about reversing their diagnosis. The turning point for Dr. Anna recognized that her lifestyle could be the reason for her diagnosis. [12:50] Finding the Keto Way of Living After losing eighty pounds, Dr. Anna started gaining weight. She went keto immediately but felt terrible. Our urine pH can give signs of how we are doing. Anna’s urine pH was really acidic. It’s not just about what we eat; it’s about who we are eating with. It will show up in our urine. Cortisol can take us down. Lifestyle tweaks will help us with weight loss, moodiness, and sleeplessness. As women transition into menopause, they rely on their estrogen. Dr. Anna said she was going keto crazy because our brain uses glucose for fuel. In order for our brains to do that, we need estrogen. If we don’t have estrogen, then our minds will not function properly. We can use ketones for fuel because it is not estrogen-dependent. [20:30] How to Get More Alkaline Intermittent fasting and no more snacking. We will empower one of our three major hormones, insulin. We are naturally more insulin resistant as we age. It creates an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. We have to become insulin sensitive. Integrate the concept of alkalization. Choose to focus on gratitude and a positive mindset. [25:45] How to Test Your Urine pH and What to Eat for Alkaline You can get pH paper from your drugstore. Beet greens are the best alkaline foods. Bitter greens can help with detoxification and liver support. Eat your collards without sugar. [28:30] Counterbalancing Cortisol    When cortisol goes up, oxytocin goes down. When cortisol is up for a long time, it shuts down oxytocin. Our burnout can feel like a disconnect. There is a physiology to divorce and grief that has to do with our hormones. When we are stressed, we aren’t going to feel loved. Does this action come from love or fear? [36:00] MCT Oil for Energy   MCT oil will help with keeping us full and satisfied. It will also help us keep our hormones balanced. We cannot sacrifice our fats. MCT oil is a great thing to have when you’re in ketosis. It bypasses digestion and gives you quick energy. [38:00] About Keto-Greens It is a vegan protein-based, nutrient-rich, all-in-one meal replacement that will satisfy your cravings as it energizes and revitalizes you. This delicious shake will help you transform your body to alkalinity – the foundation of sustainable health and wellness. Keto-Greens help support a healthy digestion, removes toxins from organs, and gets protein faster to your muscles. Find Keto-Green® Immunity Boosting Bundle. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I'm blessed to have here with me, Dr. Amy Killen, Board Certified in Emergency Medicine with 10+ years of direct patient care she has been practicing Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine for more than five years. Dr. Killen is fellowship trained in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and has done extensive additional training in aesthetics, platelet rich plasma and stem cells, hair restoration, bio-identical hormones, nutrition, fitness and sexual health. Dr. Killen is the Medical Director of BioRestoration Medical, a busy clinic with a comprehensive, integrative approach to health located in Draper, Utah. She also works at Docere Medical in Park City, Utah with Dr. Harry Adelson, providing cutting edge regenerative medical treatments for a host of different conditions. Dr. Killen has spoken internationally about PRP and stem cells, as well as sexual longevity and skin health. She also teaches physician training courses, outlining current best practices for using regenerative medicine in aesthetics and sexual optimization. In this episode, Dr. Killen dives deep into her background and explains what inspired her to start working in regenerative medicine. Dr. Killen explains what exactly stem cells are – we all have them, and they are responsible for the upkeep of our organs. There are loads of things that we can do to activate our stem cells, including exercise, eating nitrate-rich foods, and red light therapy. Stay tuned as Dr. Killen gives anti-aging tips and explains how to fix dark circles under your eyes. // 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. [00:30] About Dr. Killen Killen worked in an emergency department for ten years total. She suffered from both stress and sleeplessness. At the same time, Dr. Killen was seeing patients with the same complaints. Amy realized that she couldn’t help her patients until she helped herself. Amy learned about regenerative medicine and decided to quit the emergency department. In the ER, you deal with what you have right in front of you. In regenerative medicine, you focus on five or ten years before disease onset. It may take even a year before her treatment is effective. Killen focuses on skin, hair, and sexual function. [03:30] About Stem Cells Everybody already has stem cells! They are the master cells of your body and are present in every tissue of your body. Stem cells are responsible for the upkeep of your organs. They can send out signals to heal and regenerate. As we get older, our stem cells become less functional. Sometimes, we can lose stem cells in parts of our bodies. We have the ability to activate the stem cells that we have through exercising, fasting, and stem cell treatment. There are signs if you do not have enough stem cells in your body: knee pain, your skin is losing texture, and other things that we associate with aging.   [05:55] Using Fasting to Activate Stem Cells You can activate stem cell production in your body by fasting. Without food, your body will go through stress, and your cells will start to repair. People use fasting to keep their stem cell stores high, so they are more readily able to repair themselves when they need to. The body will clean or get rid of zombie cells. Then, it produces a signal to create new stem cells. Stem cells can multiply and replicate themselves. If you can do multiple day fasts, that would be ideal. Time restrictive feeding is better than doing nothing. Start slow, then work yourself up to several days at a time. [09:00] How to Trigger Cell Production Exercise will trigger cell production. Red light therapy or light therapy will increase stem cell production. Stress-relieving things will also increase production like Tai Chi. Killen wouldn’t be surprised if there were a correlation between meditation and stem cell production. The procedures that Dr. Killen does are not system-wide. She does not treat diseases; she only treats certain areas like joints. If you can put stem cells into your joint, then it will repair that one area. That’s the same with skin, hair, and sexual organs. She takes stem cells from the patient and moves them to a different part of the body. Your love handles have a good supply of stem cells. Plus, they heal faster and have less pain for the patient. [12:20] The Role of Insulin on Aging    High insulin is associated with high cortisol levels. When you have high insulin, your blood sugar is also high. High sugar levels will result in aging. Every part of your body is sensitive to sugar. It will age you faster and cause more inflammation. When the insulin is activated, all your fat-burning hormones are scattered. It could be years before insulin issues are shown in blood results. It’s essential to be proactive rather than reactive. [14:40] Anti-Aging Tips Increase nitric oxide. It’s the primary way to get blood delivered throughout your body. After age 40, we don’t make as much nitric oxide. It affects sexual performance and gym performance. Things you can do to increase nitric oxide: Exercise Eat nitrate-rich foods Don’t use an antiseptic mouthwash Avoid using acid-blocking medications Red light therapy Coconut oil is antibacterial. Dr. Killen says it’s not as problematic as daily antiseptic mouthwash. You can make your own mouthwash. Don’t use it every day. You need the bacteria in your mouth. Use the sun wisely. Protect your face and hands. People who don’t get any sun exposure is a risk factor for death and aging. Getting sun is really important; don’t get burned. Don’t eat sugar. Make sure you are pairing the sugar with fat and protein if you do eat it. Your body thinks a big bowl of rice is sugar. If you are going to eat rice, pair it with loads of fat and protein. [22:15] Fixing Dark Circles Under Your Eyes Avoid allergens. PRP injections can also make a big difference. It will help thicken the skin. Different kinds of lasers can be helpful around the eyes. It’s one of the more difficult things to treat. [24:50] Sexual Health Therapies Killen does a P shot for men and an O shot for women. It will help increase blood flow and repair nerves. Plus, it will increase sensitivity and sensation.   [28:20] What is Perfect Health? You’re not thinking about pain or performing. It means you are not worrying about if your body can do something. You should be able to do what you want to do and be with who you want to be with.

We welcome back Dr. Jeff Matheson, co-founder of an all-natural migraine and headache centre, which promotes a non-narcotic approach to pain and headache management. Plus, Dr. Jeff Matheson is the co-founder and medical director of Pure Life Science. Dr. Jeff Matheson successfully practiced medicine in emergency departments across Canada and internationally, from Ontario, Newfoundland, and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. He later was appointed Medical Director of Med-EmergInc in 1998, a company dedicated to staffing underserved hospitals in Canada. Dr. Matheson has traveled extensively throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South East Asia and well as Oceania. According to Dr. Matheson, “traveling is the best education!” Dr. Matheson is an enthusiastic believer, as well as being immersed in other cultures. Similarly, if one does not listen to patients, one won’t hear what is necessary to understand the patient’s problem, i.e., the patient’s “culture.” It is with this ability to listen and empathize with the patients that Dr. Matheson allows an accurate diagnosis and develop sustainable solutions, optimizing health, and patient outcomes. If a solution cannot be determined, resources will be dedicated, through the involvement of alternative care specialists, ascertaining the best possible treatment for the patient by trying to treat causes, not just manage symptoms. In this episode, Dr. Matheson opens up the show diving deep into the cell membrane and how it separates the interior of cells from the outside environment. We are continually attacking our cell membranes with the “Stupid” American Diet. Dr. Matheson explains the connections between our cell membranes, receptors, oxygen, and omega-6. Plus, Dr. Matheson describes how vegetable oils are causing cancer and which good fats you should be eating, including his Pure Form Omega. Stay tuned as Dr. Matheson discloses how healthy cells can protect us from viruses. // E P I S O D E     S P O N S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. [01:00] About the Cell Membrane The cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. We attack our cell membranes every single day with the food that we consume. Our food is leading us down the path of chronic disease. The Standard “stupid” American Diet has been imported to many countries around the world. Our membranes have two layers of lipids. The fatty acid composition determines how fluid, penetrable, and how the cell functions. No one talks about how the cell membrane functions. It’s a rapidly moving system. Your body is really good at distributing fats around. Good or bad fats take about 10 or 20 minutes to distribute throughout the body.   [07:40] The Job of Receptors Receptors are how cells will communicate with one another. Type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance. When cells are unhealthy, the receptors will be less active. Morbidly obese men have man boobs because their membranes are in poor health. A female can have a normal thyroid yet still feel like crap. Doctors are looking at health in the wrong way – they only test the blood to determine if someone is healthy or not. [10:55] Communication Between the Receptors and the Nucleus When we start altering the function of the receptor, we will begin to modify the gene expressions. Now, we will have changed responses, and the signals will get crossed. We won’t be able to react normally to environmental factors. We see this all the time in obese people; they have altered gene expression. People who are overweight don’t normally react to hormones. These people eat something, and they should feel full, but they don’t. If a cell has altered membranes, then it is asking for help. Inflammation is a call for help! [16:30] The Correlation Between Oxygen, Omega-6, and Our Cells Oxygen oxidizes things. Oxygen cannot sit freely in the cell. Omega-6 will take oxygen to the mitochondria. Omega-6 is extremely important! It’s predominant in our diet because it’s supposed to be. No life exists without omega-6. The processed omega-6s are pure and unadulterated poison. If you do not give your body proper fats, you will not do well. I repeat, you cannot do well without good fats.   [25:40] Vegetables Oils and Cancer Smoking rates are as low as they have been in sixty years. However, cancer rates are well over 60%. In 1900, cancer rates were at about 3%. You can’t have something to increase that high in six generations. Vegetable oils are causing our cancers. They are hidden everywhere. If you go to Whole Foods, you will see vegetable oils in loads of things. We should never make an exception for vegetable oils. Try to eat clean for one month. Everybody will cheat. What happens when you cheat, your body will tell you that something bad has happened. Remove the inflammatory fats. [30:20] Add Good Fats to Your Diet Seed oils are the best. Pumpkin seed, sunflower, coconut, and flaxseed oils are good. A lot of oil bottles say they are cold-pressed. However, they need to be cold-pressed in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen, the oils will become rancid. Once the oil is sitting on the shelf, they are getting damaged. Find good fats that are protected from oxygen. You can get almonds and other nuts that have good fats. If you are roasting nuts, the function is destroyed. [33:55] About Pure Form Pure Form Omega® Natural Essential Fatty Acid (EFAs) Omega-3 and Omega-6 capsules are the ideal way to replenish your body’s precious essential oils. Your body cannot make Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) and they are required by all the cells in your body. The only way to get these fats is through your diet. Pure Form Omega® Natural is organically produced with cold-pressed seed oils containing essential Omega-3 and Omega-6 in the optimal ratio. You can get Pure Form here. [38:20] Healthy Cells Can Protect us From Viruses The omega-6 family produces GLA and DGLA. Which, in turn, makes a powerful anti-inflammatory. The next step is arachidonic acid, which produces other anti-inflammatory enzymes. The omega-3 family can even inhibit the production of anti-inflammatory enzymes. Omega-6 intake will allow you to fight off viruses. We don’t need a massive amount of omega-3s. The most significant purpose of omega-6 and omega-3 is in the membrane structure. If you consume healthy fats, you will have a healthy cell membrane. [45:00] Membrane Health is Everything Get away from the factor that genetics will map out your life. You can influence chronic diseases and acute diseases through lifestyle choices. AND MUCH MORE!

I am grateful to have, a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care, Dr. Zach Bush. He is an internationally recognized educator on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food production systems. Dr. Bush founded Seraphic Group to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health and extend his passion for educating the world on topics such as the state of our soil – including the need to eradicate toxins such as glyphosate from our farming chain – and the importance of gut/brain communication as a vital part of our overall health/wellbeing. Dr. Bush is a respected speaker and authority in the health and wellness space. He travels the world speaking to medical and farming communities as well as consumers who are interested in taking proactive control of their health. Grab your bottle of Ion Gut Health here. Coupon code: KETO1KR In this episode, Dr. Bush shares his story and how he went from conventional medicine to what he's doing today. Dr. Bush explains what happens internally when we eat a standard American diet. It can take 14 hours for pizza to get through our small intestines. If you're eating three meals a day, your body will be stressed, and your organs will be working overtime. Also, Dr. Bush gives his thoughts on public health during quarantine and later speaks about a patient who would have panic attacks right after lunch. Stay tuned, as Dr. Bush describes how diseases are connected with mother nature. // 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.

Hospitals should never manage chronic diseases. Bush realized that he needed to go down a path that would make a difference with heart disease. This led him down the road of endocrinology. During his cancer research, Dr. Bush understood that he needed to learn nutrition because he didn’t get any formal nutrition education. Bush eventually started a nutrition center to reverse heart disease. He decided he would save rural Virginia. If he can figure out how to fix the small rural towns, then he would be able to scale it for the whole world. During his journey, Dr. Bush started to study soil. He realized that food is an essential connection for gut/brain communication. [11:30] What Happens When We Don’t Fast Gut motility starts to freeze up with age. At 18 years old, people who ate two slices of pizza, it took 14 hours to get through the small intestine alone. If you’re eating three meals a day, it stresses the body and destroys the gut motility. It will set up chronic disease. When you get stressed in the liver, you develop fatty liver very quickly. With a plant-based diet, it only took ninety minutes for the food to move through the small intestine. Protein has nothing to do with ketosis. Too much protein can actually disrupt ketosis. If you’re eating real and unprocessed foods – the mix is magical for the small intestine. [18:20] Public Health During Quarantine The last thing you want to do for human beings is isolating them. As soon as you stop moving, your sleep cycle will shut down. Americans are already overdosing on couch time and screen time. What have we done wrong to create a pandemic? It’s the food system. Our food system has destroyed the integrity of our planet. [23:45] Having Panic Attacks After Lunch One of Dr. Bush’s patients would have massive panic attacks after lunch. The symptom of a panic attack is the overwhelming feeling of impending doom. For lunch, she ate rice or chicken salad. She realized she only had panic attacks when she ate the chicken salad. It turns out, the chicken had a lot of stress, and it was transferring that to the human. The chicken also was experiencing an impending sense of doom before it was killed. The human starts triggering the same sense of impending doom. Corn is a beautiful plant. However, there is no biodiversity on the ground. All they allow is GMO corn. It is the factory chicken farm version of corn. Biodiversity creates more diverse returns. Corn would be better with biodiversity around it. Even weeds are beneficial to the soil. If you destroy the weed, then you destroy the biodiversity. [48:55] Disease is Linked to Mother Nature    We are creating monocrops that create monocultures in the gut. We are starting to become allergic to the food we are feeding ourselves. We need to teach our farmers how to farm the right way. That way, we can give the body what it wants and reverse the trends. The gut is an organic garden. The same rules and recovery rate that we see on a farm will happen in the gut.   [51:40] Finding Yourself With Your Gut When your gut is healthy, you will start to have a healthy life. Finding yourself will include fixing your microbiome. Check out Farmer’s Footprint. With Farmer’s Footprint, Dr. Bush seeks to expose the science behind glyphosate’s impact on human and environmental health through the lens of human stories. He wants to illuminate the health and economic impacts on farmers and our communities and supported by the medical finding of their team of researchers.
