Today, I am blessed to have here with me a sleep expert, Claus Pummer. Claus has worked with SAMINA for over 20 years and not only believes in the SAMINA Sleep System but chooses it for his health and sleep. In addition to running the North American Company, he speaks, writes, and educates people about the importance of sleep in their health and wellbeing. Natural by Design, Corp., founded by Claus Pummer in 1998, is a lifestyle furnishings company and the exclusive importer of SAMINA products in North America. Hand-crafted in the Austrian Alps, SAMINA is the naturally healthy brand of luxury organic mattresses and products promoting optimal health through sleep. Their delight comes from their customers and offering them a solution for the healthy sleep they have been missing and need now more than ever before. SAMINA healthy sleep advisers can answer questions you have about the products and are trained to understand human sleep's essentials. Their flagship organic mattress store is located conveniently in sunny Pasadena, California, not far from downtown Los Angeles. In this episode, Claus Pummer reveals the inspiration behind his career in the sleep world. Not sure if you're getting efficient sleep? Claus says that if you have brain fog, you're cranky, unhappy, or indecisive, then you are not getting the best sleep! Your mattress could be toxic, and those toxins are bioaccumulating in your body. So, when researching mattresses, make sure you know exactly what they put in it – if it doesn't sound natural, then you shouldn't be sleeping on it. Tune in as Claus reveals the benefits of SAMINA, how to notice the results from a good night's sleep, and why you should never sleep with a metal bed frame.

The more stressed out you are, the more sleep is essential. In the recession, people were saving their money to make a long-term, healthy purchase for their sleep. Eventually, Claus set his entire vision around changing the way people sleep. [06:25] The Side Effects of Poor Sleep If you’re not sleeping well, that may be the reason that you are overweight. Brain fog in the morning is a result of poor sleep. If you’re cranky, most likely, your rest was not efficient. When you’re not happy in life, then perhaps you do not sleep well enough. If you’re indecisive, then that’s a sign of poor sleep. Not enough people talk about the proper way to sleep. [09:20] The Problems With Your Mattress Mattresses are one of the worst things to buy for humans. A study found that people dreaded a mattress purchase over everything else (except buying a car). People understand that they need a mattress, but they don’t want to deal with the research to buy a mattress. Make sure you find out what is in your mattress. If you know what is in your mattress, then you will know if it’s good for you or bad for you. [11:20] About Mattress Red Flags Metal springs are red flags. Unnatural materials are red flags. People will put fire retardants and petroleum in their mattresses. If there are things in the bed that don’t come from nature, then you don’t want it in your mattress. When you spend 1/3 of your day on your mattress, you better know what is in it! [14:25] About SAMINA Sleep    SAMINA sleep is a family business. This company was not started for a quick buck. It took over ten years to figure out the best sleep system. Hand-crafted in the Austrian Alps, SAMINA is the naturally healthy brand of luxury organic mattresses and products promoting optimal health through sleep. The company’s humble beginnings began in Austria, where SAMINA was founded in 1989. Günther W. Amann-Jennson, the company founder and current CEO, designed the organic mattresses and other SAMINA healthy sleep products to improve the quality of peoples’ lives. [22:55] The Problem With Metals Metals in the mattress and bedframes are not ideal for sleep. Metal will attract electrical fields and metal fields. The exposure comes from powerlines around your house. Also, radio frequencies are invisible from transmitting data. Metal will attract the radio frequencies. Bluetooth devices and wireless devices create radio frequencies. Walking barefoot is highly recommended to ground yourself naturally to the earth. That way, you can recharge your body. In a SAMINA bed, there is a grounding pad. Sleeping with the SAMINA system is equivalent to walking on the beach barefoot. [31:10] Noticing Results With SAMINA How often do you dream? Dreaming is an excellent self-assessment to measure your sleep. Anytime you wake up, and you remember your dream, then you had a deep sleep. When you have a deep sleep, then your body is able to recover. SAMINA has a positive impact on dreams. Oura Ring is highly recommended to measure your sleep. When you wake up in the morning, and your back hurts, then there is something wrong. [39:20] How Long A SAMINA Bed Will Last Some SAMINA items will last a lifetime. The natural rubber will need to be replaced between fifteen and twenty years. You do not throw the mattress away; you simply exchange the rubber parts. In the United States, American people throw 20 million mattresses away every year. When you replace the SAMINA rubber, you can throw it in the compost. The product is 100% authentic and natural.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, the owner of Andreas Seed Oils, Andreas Wecker. He started Andreas Seed Oils to bring health and wellness to people through food. The right foods made up of essential fats, vitamins, and minerals must be genuinely healthy. The natural balance of these nutrients is offered in his purely pressed oils. Through his struggle with Crohn’s Disease, Andreas knew that his options were minimal, as he exhausted the means of modern medicine. The option Andreas chose was to find an alternative remedy to have a fighting chance at living. Fresh-pressed oils were the answer. His miraculous recovery by the use of oils, along with diet modification, has led Andreas to recognize that high-quality oils, perhaps of all kinds, could help others improve their overall health as well. He desires to provide a product for everyone to have the opportunity to improve their health and wellness. In this episode, Andreas dives deep into his journey to wellness. The inspiration behind his company, Andreas Seed Oils, comes from finding that fresh-pressed flaxseed oil relieved his pain from Crohn’s Disease. Andreas explains why industrial seed oils are terrible for our health. If you have seed oils prepared in the right way, they can be powerful tools. Andreas Seed Oils are cold pressed – the technology is powerful, and the seed quality is left undamaged. Stay tuned as Andreas explains the benefits of oils, and he answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE ANDREAS SEED OILS ----------- // 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 // T I M E S T A M P S   [01:45] About Andreas Wecker Many people remember Andreas as a gymnast, competing for Germany in national and world championships at the Olympic Games. In 2000, Andreas tore his bicep during training. Three days before Andreas was supposed to compete at the Sydney Games, his career was over. To cope with severe pain issues, Andreas depended on a combination of painkillers and aspirin. He stopped taking the pills, and his health began to deteriorate rapidly. In 2006, Andreas had lost 45 pounds and 80 percent of his blood supply. Doctors diagnosed him with Crohn’s Disease (CD). Andreas found that fresh-pressed flaxseed oil relieved his pain and inflammation.  [17:15] Why Industrial Oils Are Bad For Us When there is friction, there is oxidation. Many seed oil companies use methods to extract the oils that damage the oil's nutrient value. These methods include hydraulic and cold expeller pressing as well as solvent extraction. Because of the oil components' damage during these extraction methods, these oils must always be refrigerated. Andreas uses cold press technology. This technology is so delicate yet powerful that the precious nutrient qualities of the seeds are left undamaged. The result is a high-quality oil that needs no refrigeration and will last for up to a year in the kitchen cupboard. [25:40] How Seed Oils Can Help You When our body is inflamed, our immune system is overwhelmed. When we are constantly producing, our body cannot heal. Flaxseed oil is the foundation for rebuilding and repairing damaged cells. Stop consuming sugar and get more fat in the body to change the energy from sugar to fat. That way, you have a lot more energy for longer. Plus, your brain will be clearer when it runs off of fat. [28:25] About The Five Seed Oil Blend The Five Seed Oil Blend is used to increase energy levels. The blend contains pumpkin, black sesame, flax, sunflower, and coriander seed oil. In order for the oils to work, you need to eat clean. This blend is the broadest spectrum of foundational nutrients for optimal functioning organs.  It is the fuel you can supply your body at the cellular level to thrive in every way possible. You will feel a load of energy from this blend. Some people cannot take this oil in the evening because it will give you a lot of energy. However, many people find it to be calming too. [38:00] Seed Oils vs. Avocado Oils and Coconut Oils Avocado oils and coconut oils are rarely pressed in the right way. Andreas wants to press coconut oils in the future. Plus, when the oils are in plastic containers, it will be bad. Did you know that you can cook with the seed oils too? Andreas uses the sunflower and sesame oils when cooking - they are perfect for high temperatures! You will have the cleanest foods when you cook with these oils. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, Chantel Ray. She runs a multi-million-dollar real estate company. Chantel is not a medical doctor or a nutritionist; she actually has a degree in mathematics.  Chantel Ray is the President and Founder of Chantel Ray Real Estate, a Virginia based company with 6 locations. She is extremely active in her church and community, hosting weekly Bible studies in her home, speaking at events to support and inspire other local business owners, and partnering with local charities to help those in need. Chantel has spent the past ten years interviewing over 1000 women to crack the code to lasting weight loss. Her book is the result of these interviews, her countless hours spent studying the Bible on this topic, and her real life journey. She believes she has discovered the secret sauce to weight loss and can't wait to share it with you. In this episode, Chantel Ray reveals her dieting journey and how she finally figured out the secret to weight loss. Chantel describes her FIRES Principle and explains that hara hachi bu means to stop eating when you’re 80% full. Plus, Chantel says to make sure that you are eating slow, appreciating your food, and being intentional. Stay tuned as Chantel dives into the correlation between fasting and your thyroid.  // 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 [00:40] About Chantel Ray Chantel tried every diet under the sun. She got frustrated and would just ask women what they eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Chantel realized that all of them did intermittent fasting, but they didn’t know they did it.   [04:00] About the FIRES Principle F – Fasting I – Identify true hunger R – Reducing sugar E – Enjoying real food without deprivation S – Stop before you’re full Hara hachi bu is a teaching that says you should stop eating when you’re 80% full. Americans eat until they are 105% full. If you like to eat fast, work hard to slow down.   [10:30] What Happens To The Thyroid While Fasting Fasting puts stress on your body. When you are in a place where you are under high stress, then fasting may not be the right fit for you. Chantel has had massive amounts of problems with her thyroid. A lot of it has to do with hormones. Certain days Chantel can fast, and she does great. However, the time of the month is such a big piece of fasting. Your hormones play a big piece to your fasting. When you try to fast the week before your period it is a recipe for disaster.   [20:45] How To Support The Thyroid You need iodine for the thyroid to function. If fasting is not working for you, there could be five issues going on: You are taking some sort of medication that is making you feel bad. You are missing out on certain supplements. Your hormones are out of whack. Your blood sugar levels are out of whack. Electrolytes are low. Get to the root cause of why you can’t fast.   [25:30] The Importance of Eating Intentionally   Eating too many carbs and sugar will pack on pounds and make you feel terrible. Chantel reduces the amount of carbs and sugars that she eats throughout the day. If there’s something that she really wants, then she only takes three bites. It’s essential to understand your body and your hormones. If you want something, then be intentional about it.   [29:00] Advice For Fasting Skeptics   When Chantel first started fasting, she didn’t lose a single pound for three weeks. After three weeks, Chantel lost six pounds. With fasting, you are building more muscle and losing fat. So, you won’t be seeing results on the scale. For Chantel, she is able to keep her weight steady using fasting. Fasting is a lifestyle change, not a lose weight quick scheme.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Chantel’s Website Follow Chantel Ray: Instagram Facebook Groups Twitter YouTube Get Chantel’s Books Read Waist Away: The Chantel Ray Way: The Inspirational Way to Lose Weight Through Intermittent Fasting Listen to Waist Away: The Intermittent Fasting & Weight Loss Podcast Listen to 276: Keto vs. Fasting, Taking Supplements While Fasting, Food To Break Your Fast, Flex Days & More with Ben Azadi!

A new study from JAMA shows no weight loss benefit from intermittent fasting. This study shows no benefit from fasting. This video points out 5 flaws with the study. STUDY: Effects of Time-Restricted Eating on Weight Loss and Other Metabolic Parameters in Women and Men With Overweight and Obesity LINK: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2771095 Join my fasting webinar: http://www.benazadiwebinar.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 The headline suggests that fasting doesn’t work, and can cause muscle loss. What is the primary use for intermittent fasting? Health. Weight loss is a byproduct of good health. The point of fasting is NOT weight loss. The goal is metabolic freedom. The goal is to burn body fat, not sugar. Most people are sugar burners. 75%+ are sugar burners. 5 FLAW WITH THIS STUDY... 1: They didn’t change the fasting schedule. 116 obese individuals for 12 weeks. They followed a 16/8 schedule, which is only one way to practice fasting. 16 hours should be the bare minimum as this is how long it takes to process food. A study at the University of Virginia showed it took 14 hours just for 800 calories to enter the small intestine. The 8 hour eating window. How many times did they eat? They didn’t track. If they grazed for 8 hours then they kept insulin up, the bully of the block. Corporate worker analogy. It is not enough time for healing. Adaption is key with fasting, and health. Think about the greatest fitness trainers in the world, they always change up the routine. This study did NOT change the routine. 2: Cookie cutter approach to intermittent fasting. The age range was 18-64 years old and fasting should be different for men vs women and dependent on age. We know that cycling women should not fast 5-7 days before their period. Did they account for this? I’ve seen men do better with intermittent fasting than women. Post menopausal need more feasting. None of this was taken into account. 3: Didn’t educate these participants on what to eat during their eating window. Participants were randomized such that the consistent meal timing (CMT) group was instructed to eat 3 structured meals per day, and the time-restricted eating (TRE) group was instructed to eat ad libitum from 12:00 pm until 8:00 pm and completely abstain from caloric intake from 8:00 pm until 12:00 pm the following day. During their 8 hour eating window they were encouraged to eat ad libitum. Well the pancreas is designed to output insulin twice per day, if they ate throughout the entire 8 hours this would not be good. If you eat like crap, you will create cellular inflammation. Cellular inflammation will prevent weight loss. When you have cellular inflammation, your fat burning hormones cannot do their job. 4: They didn’t keto adapt them beforehand. We want to teach the body to burn fat first, otherwise fasting can have negative effects. Fasting is a muscle. If you are a couch potato and decide to do CrossFit, you results will be bad. Teach the body to burn fast FIRST, then pair intermittent fasting. Wallet to bank account analogy. This is a problem because the body will burn protein and muscle to fulfill the brains desire for glucose, via gluconeogensis. 5: Did these participants have any underlying health conditions? Toxicity such as heavy metals Insulin resistance Diabetes They didn’t do comprehensive lab work on them, just basic testing. If these participants had underlying issues, then those should be addressed WITH fasting. What about muscle loss? This can happen, but this is junk muscle and protein. We build back stronger with healthier muscle. // R E S O U R C E S 😴 My Recommended Sleep Products: https://kit.co/ketokamp/keto-kamp-sle... ➡️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 🎓Want to become a keto and fasting pro?

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, a holistic biological nutritionist and medical intuitive, Kelly Kennedy. Kelly's studies began more traditionally as a pre-med student at Cornell University, where she received a biology degree. Her father passed away from Hodgkin's disease when she was just 20. That same year, a car accident left her in chronic pain, emotionally drained, and her life in upheaval.​ After three years of succumbing to the contemporary allopathic paradigm without results, Kelly finally sought a different approach - BioRegulatory medicine - which permanently relieved her pain. Kelly knew she had found the answers she was seeking; she began working with Ian Kennedy, and a skilled, passionate practitioner was born. Today, Kelly is the Executive Director of The True Wellness Center in Pennsylvania and serves on the Board of Advisors of the Bioregulatory Medicine Institute.​ In a world facing health challenges of epidemic proportions, Kelly will not rest until "bioregulatory" becomes a household word. In this episode, Kelly Kennedy dives into her healing journey. After a nasty car accident and her father’s untimely passing, Kelly went through hell and back to heal her body, mind, and spirit. To heal, Kelly needed to come to terms with her emotional turmoil. The critical component is the ability to “be.” Also, Kelly explores the issues with having scars and the importance of understanding our fascia. Stay tuned as we talk about why you should have an actual armpit and the correct way to dry brush. // 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 [01:40] About Kelly Kennedy At Cornell University, Kelly got into a car accident, and she was told that she would have to manage her pain for the rest of her life. The same year, Kelly’s dad died from massive health complications. Eventually, Kelly found a company that used herbal supplements to treat her pain. Plus, she found a doctor who treated her pain with energy. It turns out, Kelly’s pain stemmed from her dad’s death. Now, Kelly has a better lifeforce through the healing process. “There is such a beauty to realizing that we have the power to heal inside of us.” – Kelly Kennedy [17:40] The Issues With Having Scars Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue surrounding and holding every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. If you pick up a chicken to cook it, you'll see fascia underneath the skin. The fascia holds everything together. It’s the secondary nervous system because it is in complete communication with the skin and the fluid. The liquid inside our fascia is blood and lymphatic fluid. The lymphatic fluid is the space between our cells. If the fascia is tight, then the lymphatic fluid can’t flow properly. When the fascia snags, it creates a scar. “Blood follows where energy goes.” -Kelly Kennedy Use scar therapy to get the blood flowing again. [31:10] The Ways We Can Fine-Tune Our Emotions Since the car accident, Kelly realized that nothing is a mistake. The hardest thing for Kelly to do is to “be.” When we are still, all the thoughts come in. The pain will come back when we have unsettling thoughts. Most of us are not in survival mode. It’s time to get into parasympathetic mode. Start letting things go. However, don’t do “work.” Just spend time with yourself in a quiet space. See what’s going on in your head. At the end of the day, no matter where you go or what you do, you’ll still have your thoughts. We need to clean our fears, worries, dreads, anger, and resentment. Instead, come from love. “The reality is we create our own reality.” – Kelly Kennedy [43:00] Why You Should Have An Armpit Everyone in the world should have an armpit. Some people are puffy where there should be an armpit - this is stagnant lymphatics. If you look swollen in your neck area, that’s a little bit of lymph fluid that’s swelling. Lymph fluid should be flowing like water. [47:00] How To Dry Brush    Open up your endpoints first. If your endpoints are shut down, then nothing can move through. Start from the head then move downward. Pump open your lymph. It should be light and gentle. Dry brush in your shower. Brush toward your heart. Go close first, then go farther out. For instance, start at your armpit, arm, then your wrist. Use the intention to bring it all into your heart. The whole process should take about five minutes. “Less is more with the lymph.” -Kelly Kennedy AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, the co-founder of TRU KAVA, a company that is striving to set the industry standard for quality, safety, and education around kava within the mass market, Cameron George. Cameron has spent many years investigating every aspect of kava. He has collaborated with many of the most prominent experts in the world within the fields of kava research and historical kava use. The goal of this project is to provide the safest and most effective kava products on the market, as well as educate the public on the complex story surrounding kava, explain some of the myths, the massive variation of quality on the market, and the many amazing benefits that kava can offer to the modern world when it’s used correctly in its traditional form. He strives to advocate for the use of only lab tested, safe kava varieties. The initiative is to clearly educate on the differences between safe and questionable kava products demonstrated in the scientific literature and historical accounts.   In this episode, Cameron dives into the story of his autoimmune/nervous system condition that led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of KAVA. Cameron touches on how KAVA can positively affect those suffering from an autoimmune disease and he explains the benefits KAVA can have on everyone. KAVA is excellent for reducing cortisol, appetite, glucose, and inflammation. Stay tuned as Cameron speaks about maximizing the benefits of KAVA and what makes TRU KAVA unique.

Cameron also suffered from chronic fatigue, severe cognitive deficits, constant anxiety, insomnia, and convulsions that inhibited his ability to recover at any degree. After seeing countless doctors, he started researching medicinal herbs with anti-anxiety/anticonvulsant properties to reduce his anxiety and convulsions. This eventually led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of "true" KAVA, a potent plant-based anxiety-reducing nootropic drink from islands in the south pacific.   [28:00] How KAVA Can Benefit People With Autoimmune Diseases To understand KAVA, it’s best to look at it from a philosophical perspective first. KAVA plays a protective role in ecology. It creates a lot of chemical compounds to protect itself and the other organisms around it. KAVA has anti-inflammatory action and anticonvulsant action. Autoimmunity is trauma from the gut and psyche. Because of KAVA’s anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsant actions, it is helpful for people with autoimmune issues. KAVA will calm the nervous system and the immune system. It’s a broad spectrum natural protective substance that protects us from inflammation.   [32:50] Using KAVA To Handle Stress All disease comes from stress. Whether it be physical, chemical, or emotional – you need to be exposed to only adaptable stress. We need tools and strategies that can increase our resilience to all forms of stress. KAVA is not the only tool. However, it’s a critical intervention tool that calms down the storm inside our body during trauma. Instead of turning to alcohol, KAVA can help give us an acute therapeutic crutch. Stress will put us in a state of fear and distort reality - KAVA will help alleviate the stress.   [36:00] How KAVA Can Affect Cortisol KAVA can help metabolic flexibility – it will reduce cortisol and reactivity in the body. People who combine coffee and KAVA found that their blood glucose levels go down significantly. On average KAVA will drop glucose below the baseline. Outside of cortisol reduction, KAVA is a full-spectrum adaptative substance. It will put the body in a hyper fasted state.   [43:10] Maximizing The Effects of KAVA    You can maximize the effects of KAVA by drinking it with coffee. Have some of the coffee then put KAVA under your tongue as well. The KAVA shots are stronger - they will enhance creativity. There’s a spectrum of strength depending on which product you are looking at.   [44:20] How TRU KAVA is Unique The main differentiating factor is that TRU KAVA only uses 100% root material. Many products have the leaves and stems in them. They can actually be quite toxic to humans and cause a lot of problems. TRU KAVA never uses solids to extract anything. The reason people use this is that they get high yields. Some KAVA strains are for daily use, whereas others are not considered for everyday use. TRU KAVA will confirm that the strains are for daily use.   AND MUCH MORE!  Resources from this episode: Check out TRU KAVA (use code: ketokamp) Follow TRU KAVA: Facebook Instagram Twitter Follow Cameron George: Instagram Facebook Listen to Listen to Join theKeto Kamp Academy  WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube  // F O L L O W   B E N  ▸ 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.

Today, I am grateful to have a repeat Keto Kamp guest, a Canadian nephrologist, the world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes, Dr. Jason Fung. He has written three best-selling health books and he co-founded the Intensive Dietary Management program. Dr. Fung has his own websites at thefastingmethod.com. Dr. Fung graduated from the University of Toronto and completed his residency at the University of California, Los Angeles. He lives and works in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Fung works with Team Diet Doctor. Together we want to make it simple for people to understand and implement intermittent fasting, to improve their health. Below is some of the material with Dr. Fung on Diet Doctor. In this episode, Dr. Jason Fung dives deep into his eye-opening biography of cancer in which he offers a radical new paradigm for understanding cancer. He explains that all cancers develop from our own cells. When four people get the same type of cancer, all four people will have cancer cells that look identical. Then, Dr. Jason touches on the correlations between glucose, bad fats, and cancer. Stay tuned as Dr. Jason answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners, including the benefits of fasting during chemotherapy. // 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 [00:15] About The Cancer Code Cancer has always been a great mystery. We know what causes other diseases or infections. Cancer is the second cause of death in America, yet we don’t know what it is. The way we think about cancer has changed significantly throughout the years. There is an enormous shift in how we see the disease, affecting how we treat the disease. There is a recognition that cancer is actually an obesity-related disease. In 2003, there was convincing evidence about the correlation between cancer and obesity. In fact, it’s a massive part of cancer. Diet turns out to be 30-35% related to cancer causation. Breast cancer and colorectal cancer are the most prominent obesity-related cancers. “Diseases of metabolism are also diseases of growth.” -Dr. Jason Fung [16:15] Every Cancer Develops From Your Own Cells The number of mutations that are required to get cancer far outstrips the rate of mutation. Why does every cancer look exactly the same? People will have identical cancers that develop independently of each other. Cancer is an evolutionary disease. You can take the tools of evolutionary biology and apply them to cancer instead. All the different mutations are not random because they all end up in the same place. It’s not a random chance mutation; it’s a guided mutation. Cancer is not part of your body; it’s foreign. The immune system will attack cancer cells. [25:00] A Seven-Day Water Fast Could Shrink Tumors The research on water fasts is preliminary. A water fast will maximize autophagy. It will put your cells into maintenance mode. When you fast, your insulin will lower as well as your mTOR. Cancer is a tough thing to study because you cannot use preventative treatments once it gets past a certain point. If you want to study prevention, then you need lots of people. [29:00] The Correlation Between Glucose and Cancer Cancer runs on glucose much better than they run on fat. If a cell is trying to grow, then it needs fuel. Some cancer cells can run on protein and fat. Glucose is the most readily available fuel, and it makes the cell run efficiently. If you starve the cell of glucose, then it can change. Before you develop cancer, nutrition can be enough to prevent it. [38:35] How Bad Fats Could Increase Our Chances of Cancer    Bad fats could possibly increase our chances of cancer. However, the data isn’t there yet. Anything that increases inflammation is going to create a risk of cancer. Cancer develops from inflammation and chronic damage. Anything that causes chronic damage to the body puts pressure on the body to be in survival mode. [42:50] The Benefits of Metformin If you have type 2 diabetes, then metformin may be better for cancer prevention. Metformin will turn down excessive growth. If you are in growth mode all the time, it’s bad for longevity. You want your metabolic rate to be lower by eating less. [45:30] Getting Too Much Autophagy   Too much autophagy is bad and too little autophagy is bad. You want to be somewhere in the middle. You want to maintain a middle ground of autophagy for the most part. When you eat too much, you’ll turn off autophagy. [47:40] How Fasting Can Improve Chemotherapy   Chemotherapy will kill cancer cells. Fasting will turn down normal cell growth. Therefore, they will be less susceptible to chemotherapy. Cancer cells cannot turn themselves down as easily. Fasting is safe during chemotherapy. Plus, it is shown that you can handle the chemotherapy better when fasting. AND MUCH MORE!
